The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the first month on Chinese lunar calendar, which is Feb 26 this year. Its arrival also marks the end of Spring Festival celebrations. The Lantern Festival is a Chinese traditional festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunisolar Chinese calendar.
As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance. During the Lantern Festival, people celebrate through a series of traditional folk activities such as viewing lanterns, eating Tangyuan or Yuanxiao (Glutinous rice balls), guessing lantern riddles, and setting off fireworks.
Viewing the lantern is a traditional custom of Lantern Festival, which began in the Western Han Dynasty and flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Throughout the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddha’s body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a grandfestival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China.
Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited.
Yuanxiao (glutinous rice balls) is a must-eat festival delicacy during Lantern Festival. It’s made of glutinous rice, wrapped in bean paste, sesame, hawthorn and other fillings. It can be boiled, fried and steamed. With the soft and sweet taste, Yuanxiao is deeply loved by everyone. In southern and northern China, there are also different cooking methods for Yuanxiao. The northerners roll the Yuanxiao first by kneading the stuffing into uniform small balls, placing them in a basket covered with dried glutinous rice flour and shaking them constantly, adding water time to time during this process to make the stuffing stick with more and more glutinous rice flour until the size is right. However, in southern China, it’s called Tangyuan, people mix glutinous rice flour with water to form glutinous rice balls, and then wrap the filling.What’s more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar pronunciation with Tuanyuan, meaning reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.
“Guessing lantern riddles” is an essential part of the festival. Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during people’s enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.
【译文欣赏】
元宵节是在中国农历正月十五,也就是今年的2月26日。它的到来也标志着春节庆祝活动的结束。元宵节是中国的一个传统节日,在中国农历的正月十五庆祝。
早在西汉时期(公元前206年—公元25年),它就已经成为一个具有重要意义的节日。在元宵节期间,人们通过一系列传统的民俗活动来庆祝,如赏花灯、吃汤圆或元宵、猜灯谜和放烟花。
赏灯是元宵节的一个传统习俗,始于西汉,盛于隋唐。在整个汉代(公元前206年—公元220年),佛教在中国蓬勃发展。一位皇帝听说佛教徒会在农历正月十五观看舍利子(即火化佛祖遗体),并点灯拜佛,于是下令在这一天在皇宫和寺庙中点灯,以示对佛祖的尊敬。后来,这种佛教仪式发展成为老百姓的盛大节日,其影响从中原地区扩展到整个中国。
直到今天,全国各地仍然每年举行灯会。各种形状和大小的灯笼挂在街上,吸引了无数的游客。孩子们会拿着自己做的或买的灯笼在街上漫步,非常兴奋。
元宵(glutinous rice balls)是元宵节期间必须吃的节日美食。它由糯米制成,包裹着豆沙、芝麻、山楂和其他馅料。它可煮、可炸、可蒸。元宵以其柔软和甜美的口感,深受大家的喜爱。在中国南方和北方,元宵也有不同的烹饪方法。北方人首先把馅料揉成均匀的小球,放在装有干糯米粉的篮子里,不断摇晃,在这个过程中不时地加水,使馅料粘上越来越多的糯米粉,直到大小合适。然而在中国南方,它被称为“汤圆”,人们将糯米粉与水混合,形成糯米球,然后包上馅料。更重要的是,汤圆在中文中与“团圆”的发音相似,意思是团圆。因此,人们吃它来表示家庭的团结、和谐和幸福。
“猜灯谜”是元宵节的一个重要组成部分。灯笼主人把谜语写在一张纸上,贴在灯笼上。如果游客有谜语的答案,他们可以把纸抽出来,去找灯笼主人核对他们的答案。如果他们是对的,他们将得到一份小礼物。这项活动是在宋代(960-1279年)人们欣赏花灯时出现的。由于猜灯谜有趣且充满智慧,它在社会各阶层中都很流行。

元宵节在古代有不少别称,如,上元节:道教三元说中,上元节为天官的生日,在正月十五;元夕:“夕”指夜晚,正月十五的夜晚是一年中第一个月圆之夜,所以称为元夕;灯节:这一天有张灯观赏的习俗,灯火辉煌,故而得名灯节。例如,宋代辛弃疾的《青玉案·元夕》中“东风夜放花千树。更吹落、星如雨。宝马雕车香满路。凤箫声动,玉壶光转,一夜鱼龙舞。”就描绘了元夕之夜的热闹景象。还有欧阳修的《生查子·元夕》“去年元夜时,花市灯如昼。月上柳梢头,人约黄昏后。”也提到了元夜,即元宵节。

(23-24高一下·河北唐山·期末)Storytelling is an important way that people pass down knowledge and culture. Stories can be passed along in many ways, including speaking, writing, and movement.
Hula is a type of dance, and it is also a form of storytelling. It has been a part of Hawaiian storytelling traditions for generations. Many years ago, Hawaiians did not have a written language. To pass down knowledge, they shared chants (吟唱) that told stories of important events. They danced hula to these chants. Through hula, Hawaiians recorded Hawaiian history.
There are two main types of hula. Ancient hula, or hula kahiko, is the oldest form of the dance. Hula kahiko often celebrates Hawaiian gods or chiefs. It also tells stories about important Hawaiian figures in history. Its beat is slow and the movements are graceful. Musicians keep that beat for the dancers with bamboo sticks and drums. A modern form of hula, hula auana, is danced to songs and, often, faster beat. Musicians play the ukulele and guitar in this type of hula. Unlike hula kahiko, hula auana is not performed as a part of a religious ceremony. It's often more relaxed but it also carries significant cultural and education values. Both types of hula are popular in Hawaii today. Masters train students at hula schools, asking them to draw inspiration from nature.
In hula, each movement has a meaning, much like words in a story. Hula dancers use their hands, feet, and hips to tell these stories. One basic hula step is called the kaholo. To perform this step, dancers lower their knees deeply. They move their hips from side to side to the beat. This move can represent a person going on a journey. Other hula steps express nature or weather. For example, in one step, a dancer lifts their hands up, and then they move their fingers as they bring their hands down. This movement represents rain. Through various movements, hula dancers can communicate meanings and share important stories with their community.
13.Why did Hawaiians create hula?
A.To inspire young generations. B.To record their past.
C.To improve their language. D.To have fun.
14.Which is different between the two types of hula?
A.Music. B.Popularity.
C.Educational role. D.Use of nature.
15.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Hula communicates well. B.Hula needs more movements.
C.Hula movements are easy. D.Hula can express any natural phenomenon.
16.What is the text mainly about?
A.How to dance hula. B.Hawaiian way of storytelling.
C.Where hula began. D.Modern Hawaiian celebration.

(23-24高一下·重庆·期末)The Fire Festival is celebrated in northern Ghana. It’s a holiday we had never heard of before we came to live in a village here as Peace Corps community volunteers. It’s unbelievably great.
On the Fire Festival, drums beat a quick and regular rhythm that locals dance to in a circle of bodies, men and women, the old and young, holding torches of burning grass above their heads, which stands for the light and getting off negative energies.
At this moment, this festival is being held at the beginning of the lunar year. The locals are all so involved in the celebration that they don’t pay as much attention to us as they normally will. When they find us getting involved as they are, they dance more vigorously and scream with joy.
Danielle, a friend of mine in the Peace Corps, says, “That we join in the celebration is significant because foreigners here are typically seen as the representatives of other organizations, not as people who are willing to join in the Fire Festival rituals (仪式). But in fact, we are dancing and celebrating as one.”
Our two-year Peace Corps service will finish up in mid-November. We can think of no better way to say goodbye than by celebrating the Fire Festival with the villagers we’ve come to know. The festival lets us see a different side of them — and lets them see a different side of us. The neighbors who sell rice are now the women who urge us to run faster and dance harder at the Fire Festival. And rather than view us as low-key volunteers, they see us as the ones who have crazy dance steps with wild screams.
17.Why did the author go to northern Ghana?
A.To find a job. B.To go traveling.
C.To study further. D.To do voluntary work.
18.How do the locals feel when seeing the author and Danielle join in the celebration?
A.Annoyed. B.Indifferent. C.Confused. D.Excited.
19.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The benefits of celebrating the Fire Festival.
B.The secrets of dancing well in the Fire Festival.
C.The reasons of the author’s joining in the festival.
D.The experience of helping the neighbors sell rice.
20.What can we learn from the text?
A.Practice makes perfect.
B.Where there is a will, there is a way.
C.When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
D.The grass is always greener on the other side.

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the first month on Chinese lunar calendar, which is Feb 26 this year. Its arrival also marks the end of Spring Festival celebrations. The Lantern Festival is a Chinese traditional festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunisolar Chinese calendar.
As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance. During the Lantern Festival, people celebrate through a series of traditional folk activities such as viewing lanterns, eating Tangyuan or Yuanxiao (Glutinous rice balls), guessing lantern riddles, and setting off fireworks.
Viewing the lantern is a traditional custom of Lantern Festival, which began in the Western Han Dynasty and flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Throughout the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddha’s body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a grandfestival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China.
Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited.
Yuanxiao (glutinous rice balls) is a must-eat festival delicacy during Lantern Festival. It’s made of glutinous rice, wrapped in bean paste, sesame, hawthorn and other fillings. It can be boiled, fried and steamed. With the soft and sweet taste, Yuanxiao is deeply loved by everyone. In southern and northern China, there are also different cooking methods for Yuanxiao. The northerners roll the Yuanxiao first by kneading the stuffing into uniform small balls, placing them in a basket covered with dried glutinous rice flour and shaking them constantly, adding water time to time during this process to make the stuffing stick with more and more glutinous rice flour until the size is right. However, in southern China, it’s called Tangyuan, people mix glutinous rice flour with water to form glutinous rice balls, and then wrap the filling.What’s more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar pronunciation with Tuanyuan, meaning reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.
“Guessing lantern riddles” is an essential part of the festival. Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during people’s enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.
【译文欣赏】
元宵节是在中国农历正月十五,也就是今年的2月26日。它的到来也标志着春节庆祝活动的结束。元宵节是中国的一个传统节日,在中国农历的正月十五庆祝。
早在西汉时期(公元前206年—公元25年),它就已经成为一个具有重要意义的节日。在元宵节期间,人们通过一系列传统的民俗活动来庆祝,如赏花灯、吃汤圆或元宵、猜灯谜和放烟花。
赏灯是元宵节的一个传统习俗,始于西汉,盛于隋唐。在整个汉代(公元前206年—公元220年),佛教在中国蓬勃发展。一位皇帝听说佛教徒会在农历正月十五观看舍利子(即火化佛祖遗体),并点灯拜佛,于是下令在这一天在皇宫和寺庙中点灯,以示对佛祖的尊敬。后来,这种佛教仪式发展成为老百姓的盛大节日,其影响从中原地区扩展到整个中国。
直到今天,全国各地仍然每年举行灯会。各种形状和大小的灯笼挂在街上,吸引了无数的游客。孩子们会拿着自己做的或买的灯笼在街上漫步,非常兴奋。
元宵(glutinous rice balls)是元宵节期间必须吃的节日美食。它由糯米制成,包裹着豆沙、芝麻、山楂和其他馅料。它可煮、可炸、可蒸。元宵以其柔软和甜美的口感,深受大家的喜爱。在中国南方和北方,元宵也有不同的烹饪方法。北方人首先把馅料揉成均匀的小球,放在装有干糯米粉的篮子里,不断摇晃,在这个过程中不时地加水,使馅料粘上越来越多的糯米粉,直到大小合适。然而在中国南方,它被称为“汤圆”,人们将糯米粉与水混合,形成糯米球,然后包上馅料。更重要的是,汤圆在中文中与“团圆”的发音相似,意思是团圆。因此,人们吃它来表示家庭的团结、和谐和幸福。
“猜灯谜”是元宵节的一个重要组成部分。灯笼主人把谜语写在一张纸上,贴在灯笼上。如果游客有谜语的答案,他们可以把纸抽出来,去找灯笼主人核对他们的答案。如果他们是对的,他们将得到一份小礼物。这项活动是在宋代(960-1279年)人们欣赏花灯时出现的。由于猜灯谜有趣且充满智慧,它在社会各阶层中都很流行。

元宵节在古代有不少别称,如,上元节:道教三元说中,上元节为天官的生日,在正月十五;元夕:“夕”指夜晚,正月十五的夜晚是一年中第一个月圆之夜,所以称为元夕;灯节:这一天有张灯观赏的习俗,灯火辉煌,故而得名灯节。例如,宋代辛弃疾的《青玉案·元夕》中“东风夜放花千树。更吹落、星如雨。宝马雕车香满路。凤箫声动,玉壶光转,一夜鱼龙舞。”就描绘了元夕之夜的热闹景象。还有欧阳修的《生查子·元夕》“去年元夜时,花市灯如昼。月上柳梢头,人约黄昏后。”也提到了元夜,即元宵节。

(23-24高一下·河北唐山·期末)Storytelling is an important way that people pass down knowledge and culture. Stories can be passed along in many ways, including speaking, writing, and movement.
Hula is a type of dance, and it is also a form of storytelling. It has been a part of Hawaiian storytelling traditions for generations. Many years ago, Hawaiians did not have a written language. To pass down knowledge, they shared chants (吟唱) that told stories of important events. They danced hula to these chants. Through hula, Hawaiians recorded Hawaiian history.
There are two main types of hula. Ancient hula, or hula kahiko, is the oldest form of the dance. Hula kahiko often celebrates Hawaiian gods or chiefs. It also tells stories about important Hawaiian figures in history. Its beat is slow and the movements are graceful. Musicians keep that beat for the dancers with bamboo sticks and drums. A modern form of hula, hula auana, is danced to songs and, often, faster beat. Musicians play the ukulele and guitar in this type of hula. Unlike hula kahiko, hula auana is not performed as a part of a religious ceremony. It's often more relaxed but it also carries significant cultural and education values. Both types of hula are popular in Hawaii today. Masters train students at hula schools, asking them to draw inspiration from nature.
In hula, each movement has a meaning, much like words in a story. Hula dancers use their hands, feet, and hips to tell these stories. One basic hula step is called the kaholo. To perform this step, dancers lower their knees deeply. They move their hips from side to side to the beat. This move can represent a person going on a journey. Other hula steps express nature or weather. For example, in one step, a dancer lifts their hands up, and then they move their fingers as they bring their hands down. This movement represents rain. Through various movements, hula dancers can communicate meanings and share important stories with their community.
13.Why did Hawaiians create hula?
A.To inspire young generations. B.To record their past.
C.To improve their language. D.To have fun.
14.Which is different between the two types of hula?
A.Music. B.Popularity.
C.Educational role. D.Use of nature.
15.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Hula communicates well. B.Hula needs more movements.
C.Hula movements are easy. D.Hula can express any natural phenomenon.
16.What is the text mainly about?
A.How to dance hula. B.Hawaiian way of storytelling.
C.Where hula began. D.Modern Hawaiian celebration.
【答案】13.B 14.A 15.A 16.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了夏威夷的舞蹈——呼啦舞,它是一种讲故事的方式,通过舞蹈动作传达故事的含义,记录历史,传承文化。
13.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Through hula, Hawaiians recorded Hawaiian history.”(通过呼啦舞,夏威夷人记录了夏威夷的历史。)可知,夏威夷人创造呼啦舞是为了记录他们的过去。故选B。
14.细节理解题。根据第三段“Hula kahiko often celebrates Hawaiian gods or chiefs. It also tells stories about important Hawaiian figures in history. Its beat is slow and the movements are graceful. Musicians keep that beat for the dancers with bamboo sticks and drums. A modern form of hula, hula auana, is danced to songs and, often, faster beat. Musicians play the ukulele and guitar in this type of hula.”(夏威夷的神或酋长经常用Hula kahiko庆祝。它还告诉了夏威夷历史上重要人物的故事。它的节拍很慢,动作优美。音乐家们用竹竿和鼓为舞者伴奏。呼啦舞的一种现代形式,hula auana,是随着歌曲跳舞的,而且通常节奏更快。音乐家在这种呼啦舞中演奏尤克里里和吉他)可知,两种呼啦舞的不同点是音乐。故选A。
15.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Through various movements, hula dancers can communicate meanings and share important stories with their community.”(通过各种动作,呼啦舞舞者可以与社区交流意义并分享重要故事)可知,呼啦舞能使人们很好地沟通。故选A。
16.主旨大意题。通读全文以及根据第二段“Hula is a type of dance, and it is also a form of storytelling. It has been a part of Hawaiian storytelling traditions for generations.”(呼啦舞是一种舞蹈,也是一种讲故事的形式。这是夏威夷几代人讲故事的传统。)可知,短文主要讲夏威夷人讲故事的一种方式——呼啦舞。故选B。

(23-24高一下·重庆·期末)The Fire Festival is celebrated in northern Ghana. It’s a holiday we had never heard of before we came to live in a village here as Peace Corps community volunteers. It’s unbelievably great.
On the Fire Festival, drums beat a quick and regular rhythm that locals dance to in a circle of bodies, men and women, the old and young, holding torches of burning grass above their heads, which stands for the light and getting off negative energies.
At this moment, this festival is being held at the beginning of the lunar year. The locals are all so involved in the celebration that they don’t pay as much attention to us as they normally will. When they find us getting involved as they are, they dance more vigorously and scream with joy.
Danielle, a friend of mine in the Peace Corps, says, “That we join in the celebration is significant because foreigners here are typically seen as the representatives of other organizations, not as people who are willing to join in the Fire Festival rituals (仪式). But in fact, we are dancing and celebrating as one.”
Our two-year Peace Corps service will finish up in mid-November. We can think of no better way to say goodbye than by celebrating the Fire Festival with the villagers we’ve come to know. The festival lets us see a different side of them — and lets them see a different side of us. The neighbors who sell rice are now the women who urge us to run faster and dance harder at the Fire Festival. And rather than view us as low-key volunteers, they see us as the ones who have crazy dance steps with wild screams.
17.Why did the author go to northern Ghana?
A.To find a job. B.To go traveling.
C.To study further. D.To do voluntary work.
18.How do the locals feel when seeing the author and Danielle join in the celebration?
A.Annoyed. B.Indifferent. C.Confused. D.Excited.
19.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The benefits of celebrating the Fire Festival.
B.The secrets of dancing well in the Fire Festival.
C.The reasons of the author’s joining in the festival.
D.The experience of helping the neighbors sell rice.
20.What can we learn from the text?
A.Practice makes perfect.
B.Where there is a will, there is a way.
C.When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
D.The grass is always greener on the other side.
【答案】17.D 18.D 19.C 20.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,文章主要讲述作者作为和平队社区志愿者在加纳北部庆祝火把节的经历。
17.细节理解题。根据第一段“It’s a holiday we had never heard of before we came to live in a village here as Peace Corps community volunteers.( 这是我们作为和平队社区志愿者来到这里的一个村庄生活之前从未听说过的假期)”可知,作者到加纳北部做志愿工作。故选D。
18.推理判断题。根据第三段“When they find us getting involved as they are, they dance more vigorously and scream with joy. (当他们发现我们像他们一样参与进来时,他们会跳得更卖力,高兴地尖叫)”可推断,当地人发现志愿者们加入他们的庆祝活动后,他们非常激动。故选D。
19.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“We can think of no better way to say goodbye than by celebrating the Fire Festival with the villagers we’ve come to know. The festival lets us see a different side of them—and lets them see a different side of us. (我们想不出比和我们认识的村民一起庆祝火把节更好的告别方式了。这个节日让我们看到了他们的另一面,也让他们看到了我们的另一面)”可知,本段主要讲作者和Danielle加入当地火把节庆祝活动的原因。故选C。
20.推理判断题。结合第一段“It’s a holiday we had never heard of before we came to live in a village here as Peace Corps community volunteers.(这是一个我们作为和平队社区志愿者来到这个村庄之前从未听说过的节日)”和第四段中“That we join in the celebration is significant because foreigners here are typically seen as the representatives of other organizations, not as people who are willing to join in the Fire Festival rituals (仪式). But in fact, we are dancing and celebrating as one.(我们参加庆祝活动意义重大,因为这里的外国人通常被视为其他组织的代表,而不是愿意参加火把节仪式的人。但事实上,我们在一起跳舞和庆祝)”可知,作者和Danielle以和平工作团志愿者的身份来到加纳北部,当地人庆祝火把节时,他们入乡随俗,积极参与庆祝活动,这得以让当地人和志愿者们重新认识彼此。因此,从文中我们可以学到“When in Rome, do as the Romans do(入乡随俗)”。故选C。
