The festival is held in the golden season of autumn, at harvest-time. The bright clear weather and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festival happy atmosphere. The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities. Climbing a mountain, carrying a spray of dogwood (茱萸) and drinking chrysanthemum (菊花) wine have become the traditional activities of the festival. The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance(香气), and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine. People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill (寒意) in late autumn. So its history as a medicine goes back many centuries. But the custom of carrying a spray of dogwood during the Double Ninth Festival is slowly dying out and many people in the cities do not even know what a dogwood spray looks like. Early in Han Dynasty, about 2000 years ago, people used to climb a high platform outside the capital city of Chang’ an on the occasion of the Chongyang Festival. For many, it was the last outing of the year before the onset of winter. The custom evolved (发展成) into present form, when people go climbing to get some exercises as well as enjoy the autumn scenery. But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain? The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes. The Chinese word for “cake” is “Gao”, a homonym (同音异义词) of the Chinese word for “high”. Mountains are high, so eating cakes can, by a stretch of the imagination, take the place of going for a climb. 5. Why do people carry a spray of dogwood on Chongyang Festival? A. Because the dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance. B. Because the dogwood can be used as a Chinese herbal medicine. C. Because the dogwood has a long history as a medicine. D. Because people believed the dogwood could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from chill. 6. People now climb mountains on the Chongyang Festival . A. to have a last outing of the year before the onset of winter B. to get some dogwoods C. to climb a high platform D. to get some exercise as well as enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery 7. People living in plains far from mountains eat cakes because . A. the Chinese word for “cake” is “Gao” B. the Chinese word “Gao” for “cake” has the same sound with the Chinese word for “high” C. they often take cakes to go for a picnic on the festival D. they like eating cakes 8. Which of the following is TRUE? A. The Double Ninth Festival is on September 9th. B. People climbed mountains to celebrate the Chongyang Festival in Han Dynasty. C. People often celebrate the Chongyang Festival in the open air. D. Eating cakes is just like climbing mountains. 【答案】5. D 6. D 7. B 8. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了重阳节的起源和相关习俗。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance(香气), and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine. People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill (寒意) in late autumn.(山茱萸是一种具有强烈香味的植物，经常被用作中草药。古时候的人们相信它可以驱除邪灵，防止人在深秋着凉)”可知，重阳节带茱萸是因为人们相信山茱萸可以驱邪、防寒。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The custom evolved (发展成) into present form, when people go climbing to get some exercises as well as enjoy the autumn scenery.(这个习俗后来演变成现在的形式，人们去爬山既是为了锻炼身体，也是为了欣赏秋天的风景)”可知，现在人们在重阳节登山是为了锻炼身体，欣赏美丽的秋景。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain? The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes. The Chinese word for “cake” is “Gao”, a homonym (同音异义词) of the Chinese word for “high”. Mountains are high, so eating cakes can, by a stretch of the imagination, take the place of going for a climb.(但是那些住在远离山脉的平原上的人呢?这个问题通过去野餐和吃糕点来解决。汉语中“cake”的发音是“糕”，与汉语中的“高”谐音。山是高的，所以吃糕点，可以通过延伸的想象力，代替去登高)”可知，住在远离大山的平原上的人吃糕点是因为“cake”的发音“糕”与“高”相同，平原上的人们通过吃“糕”来代替登高。故选B项。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities.(重阳节通常是户外活动的最佳时节)”、第四段中“The custom evolved (发展成) into present form, when people go climbing to get some exercises as well as enjoy the autumn scenery.(这个风俗演变成现在的形式，人们去爬山既是为了锻炼身体，也是为了欣赏秋天的景色)”和最后一段中“But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain? The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes.(但是那些住在远离山脉的平原上的人呢?解决问题的办法是去野餐和吃糕点)”可推知，人们经常在户外庆祝重阳节；由此可知选项C的描述正确。故选C项。 C Today, we visit one of the most famous parks — Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. This huge park in the southeastern part of the state covers more than 10 thousand square kilometers of the Alaskan wilderness. It includes mountains, glaciers, fjords (峡湾), and even rain forests. Glacier Bay supports hundreds of kinds of animals, including many species of birds, fish, bears, whales and sea lions. As its name suggests much of Glacier Bay is covered by glaciers. A glacier is a large area of ice that moves slowly down a slope or valley, or over a wide area of land. Glaciers cover a large area of the park. The glaciers found in the park today are what remain from an ice development known as the Little Ice Age. That period began about 4,000 years ago. During the Little Ice Age, the cold weather caused the ice to grow and develop. That growth continued until the 1700s, when the climate began to warm. The hotter temperatures caused the ice to start melting (融化). That melting led the huge glacier to divide into more than 1,000 different glaciers. The extremely tall mountains seen in Glacier Bay were formed by the ice developing and then melting over time. The melting of the ice also created water that filled in and created the many fjords within the park. Fjords are narrow parts of the ocean that sit between cliffs or mountains. Glacier Bay is a popular place for people searching for adventure. Some visitors choose to explore the park by kayak. The small, narrow boats offer visitors a chance to experience the park’s many fjords and its hundreds of kilometers of coastline. 9. If you pay a visit to Glacier Bay, you will find ________. A. it almost covers the whole Alaskan wilderness B. the rain forests are rare in such conditions C. there live numbers of kinds of animals D. there are more birds than other species 10. What can we learn from the third paragraph? A. Some glaciers existed there long long ago. B. Greenhouse effect has affected the glaciers. C. The glaciers will disappear in the soon future. D. Only 1,000 large glaciers are left at present. 11. What do you know about fjords mentioned in the passage? A. They are formed on the top of mountains. B. The melting of the ice is also called fjords. C. Water is the source of creating many fjords. D. Fjords move as the oceans flow around. 12. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To do a research about Glacier Bay. B. To warn visitors there are too many dangers. C. To show Glacier Bay has a long history. D. To introduce Glacier Bay to readers. 【答案】9. C 10. A 11. C 12. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了位于美国阿拉斯加州的冰河湾国家公园。 9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Glacier Bay supports hundreds of kinds of animals, including many species of birds, fish, bears, whales and sea lions.(冰川湾养育着数百种动物，包括许多种类的鸟类、鱼类、熊、鲸鱼和海狮。)”可知，如果你去参观冰河湾，你会发现那里生活着许多种动物，故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The glaciers found in the park today are what remain from an ice development known as the Little Ice Age. That period began about 4,000 years ago. (今天在公园里发现的冰川是小冰河时期冰川发展的遗迹。那个时期开始于大约4000年前。)”可知，一些冰川在很久以前就已经存在了。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The melting of the ice also created water that filled in and created the many fjords within the park. Fjords are narrow parts of the ocean that sit between cliffs or mountains.(冰的融化也产生了水，填补了公园内的许多峡湾。峡湾是海洋中位于悬崖或山脉之间的狭窄部分。)”可知，水是创造许多峡湾的源泉。故选C。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。作者在文中介绍了位于美国阿拉斯加州的冰河湾国家公园，其中涉及到其地理位置、历史和现状，由此可推知，作者的写作目的是向读者介绍冰河湾。故选D。 第二节 小标题填空（共3小题；每小题3分，满分9分） 下面文章中有3处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C和D）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Do you want to feel attractive and confident?

A. have a free account（账户） B. work at restaurants C. like traveling D. want to join you B The Chongyang Festival falls on the 9th day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, so it is also known as the Double Ninth Festival. The festival is held in the golden season of autumn, at harvest-time. The bright clear weather and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festival happy atmosphere. The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities. Climbing a mountain, carrying a spray of dogwood (茱萸) and drinking chrysanthemum (菊花) wine have become the traditional activities of the festival. The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance(香气), and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine. People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill (寒意) in late autumn. So its history as a medicine goes back many centuries. But the custom of carrying a spray of dogwood during the Double Ninth Festival is slowly dying out and many people in the cities do not even know what a dogwood spray looks like. Early in Han Dynasty, about 2000 years ago, people used to climb a high platform outside the capital city of Chang’ an on the occasion of the Chongyang Festival. For many, it was the last outing of the year before the onset of winter. The custom evolved (发展成) into present form, when people go climbing to get some exercises as well as enjoy the autumn scenery. But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain? The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes. The Chinese word for “cake” is “Gao”, a homonym (同音异义词) of the Chinese word for “high”. Mountains are high, so eating cakes can, by a stretch of the imagination, take the place of going for a climb. 5. Why do people carry a spray of dogwood on Chongyang Festival? A. Because the dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance. B. Because the dogwood can be used as a Chinese herbal medicine. C. Because the dogwood has a long history as a medicine. D. Because people believed the dogwood could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from chill. 6. People now climb mountains on the Chongyang Festival . A. to have a last outing of the year before the onset of winter B. to get some dogwoods C. to climb a high platform D. to get some exercise as well as enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery 7. People living in plains far from mountains eat cakes because . A. the Chinese word for “cake” is “Gao” B. the Chinese word “Gao” for “cake” has the same sound with the Chinese word for “high” C. they often take cakes to go for a picnic on the festival D. they like eating cakes 8. Which of the following is TRUE? A. The Double Ninth Festival is on September 9th. B. People climbed mountains to celebrate the Chongyang Festival in Han Dynasty. C. People often celebrate the Chongyang Festival in the open air. D. Eating cakes is just like climbing mountains. C Today, we visit one of the most famous parks — Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. This huge park in the southeastern part of the state covers more than 10 thousand square kilometers of the Alaskan wilderness. It includes mountains, glaciers, fjords (峡湾), and even rain forests. Glacier Bay supports hundreds of kinds of animals, including many species of birds, fish, bears, whales and sea lions. As its name suggests much of Glacier Bay is covered by glaciers. A glacier is a large area of ice that moves slowly down a slope or valley, or over a wide area of land. Glaciers cover a large area of the park. The glaciers found in the park today are what remain from an ice development known as the Little Ice Age. That period began about 4,000 years ago. During the Little Ice Age, the cold weather caused the ice to grow and develop. That growth continued until the 1700s, when the climate began to warm. The hotter temperatures caused the ice to start melting (融化). That melting led the huge glacier to divide into more than 1,000 different glaciers. The extremely tall mountains seen in Glacier Bay were formed by the ice developing and then melting over time. The melting of the ice also created water that filled in and created the many fjords within the park. Fjords are narrow parts of the ocean that sit between cliffs or mountains. Glacier Bay is a popular place for people searching for adventure. Some visitors choose to explore the park by kayak. The small, narrow boats offer visitors a chance to experience the park’s many fjords and its hundreds of kilometers of coastline. 9. If you pay a visit to Glacier Bay, you will find ________. A. it almost covers the whole Alaskan wilderness B. the rain forests are rare in such conditions C. there live numbers of kinds of animals D. there are more birds than other species 10. What can we learn from the third paragraph? A Some glaciers existed there long long ago. B Greenhouse effect has affected the glaciers. C. The glaciers will disappear in the soon future. D. Only 1,000 large glaciers are left at present. 11. What do you know about fjords mentioned in the passage? A They are formed on the top of mountains. B. The melting of the ice is also called fjords. C. Water is the source of creating many fjords. D. Fjords move as the oceans flow around. 12. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A To do a research about Glacier Bay. B. To warn visitors there are too many dangers. C. To show Glacier Bay has a long history. D. To introduce Glacier Bay to readers. 第二节 小标题填空（共3小题；每小题3分，满分9分） 下面文章中有3处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C和D）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Do you want to feel attractive and confident?
