In the past, that was her parents’ job. ② “Too many activities and visits to relatives (亲戚) can make the festival more of a chore than a break,” Gu said. So she decided to make things simple this year. ③One of the main changes Gu made was about visiting relatives. She didn’t have a plan for in-person visits. Instead, she made video calls. Surprisingly, her family and relatives all liked the video call. They thought it was easy and relaxing. Her relatives also said they didn’t have to run from all over the country back to their hometown. ④ “The video call also stopped them from discussing young people’s studies, work, and marriage when they ran out of topics (话题),” said Gu. ⑤Another change Gu made was to make their Lunar New Year’s Eve meal simpler. The meal usually took them days to prepare and a whole day in the kitchen to cook, serve and clean in the past. ⑥Instead of starting cooking at 8: 00 am, Gu and her family started at 4: 00 pm and finished cooking in around two hours. “We made delicious dumplings together and fewer dishes than usual. My family finished most of the food that evening,” said Gu. ⑦Gu is not the only one. Young Chinese are becoming active organizers, changing how people celebrate the traditional festival. 41．What can we tell from the underlined words? A．Gug ot tired of some festival activities.

A．A Traditional Festival B．A New Way to Celebrate C．A Brave Young Woman D．A Cultural Activity C February 2 is Groundhog Day (土拨鼠日) in North America. The groundhog is the only animal with its own holiday. Groundhogs spend the winter sleeping. This keeps them warm during the long, cold winter. Tradition says that the groundhog leaves its home on February 2. If it sees its shadow (影子) on this day, it will go back to its home for six more weeks. Then there will be six more weeks of winter. If it does not see its shadow, then spring will come early that year. ________ They say it is just a fun day, but people keep thinking that animals can tell what the weather will be like. In France and England, they look to the bear to know about the cold weather. In Germany, people look to the badger (獾). Americans look to the groundhog. This may be because there were so many groundhogs when people first came to America. One town in Pennsylvania is noted for Groundhog Day. This town has a groundhog named Phil. Many people come to see Phil on February 2. They want to know if Phil will see its shadow. There is a big party on Groundhog Day. People dress up in fancy clothes. The men wear top hats.

D The UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) added “Spring Festival” to the World Intangible Cultural Heritage (世界非物质文化遗产) on December 4, 2024. The Spring Festival is one of the most important festivals both in China and around the world. What do you usually do on this festival? Clean up the rooms, hand red lanterns (灯笼) or watch Spring Festival Gala (春晚)? All of them are traditions during the Spring Festival. But there is another key part to the celebrations: putting up the red Spring Festival couplets! Couplets, also named duilian, are a special form of literature (文学) in China. They came from taofu in Zhou Dynasty and people put up couplets on the door to keep away from evil spirits (辟邪). Every Spring Festival, whether (无论) in cities or villages, rich or poor, every family will carefully choose a pair of red couplets and put it up. Here are a few rules for the couplets. They have two lines. The first line is on the right, and the second line is on the left. Each line must have the same number of words. The second line is similar to the first line in both grammar and artistic conception (意象). Finally, a short phrase called crossing (横批) is also needed to make up the couplets. The words on the couplets are always simple but meaningful, which shows people’s good wishes. Nowadays, more and more foreigners begin to celebrate the Spring Festival. Let’s take a look at two English couplets with Chinese characteristics (特色). 51．What Spring Festival tradition is NOT mentioned (提及) in the passage? A．Handing red lanterns. B．Buying new clothes. C．Watching Spring Festival Gala. D．Putting up the couplets. 52．According to the passage, which is the best for ▲ in the second couplet? A．Great Hope for the Future B．Good Luck for the Road to Go C．Wish You a Rich and Lucky Year D．Summer Flowers in the Garden to Grow 53．What can we infer from the passage? A．People in Zhou Dynasty put up couplets to keep away from evil spirits. B．Only rich men in cities will choose and put up couplets. C．A trader with kids will probably choose the first couplet. D．The words on the couplets will come true the next year. 54．What is the best title for this passage? A．Making the Old New B．Wonderful Chinese Spring Festival C．English Couplets Win Hearts D．Spring Festival Tradition: Putting up Couplets E ① Food has played a key role in celebrations and holidays around the world. From traditional dishes to special recipes made for festivals, the food holds an important place in people’s hearts and minds from different cultures. ②One such example is the Chinese Spring Festival celebrated by thousands of millions of people. During this time, families gather to honor their ancestors (祖先) and welcome the coming year. The main dish served during this festival is the dumpling. Chinese people believe that dumplings can bring them good luck and prosperity (兴旺), because its shape looks like ancient Chinese currency (货币)-Yuanbao. Families come together to make dumplings, filling with different ingredients such as pork, shrimp or vegetables. The process (过程) of making dumplings is not only a food tradition but also a way for families to get together and pass down their cultural heritage (遗产). ③In India, the festival of Diwali (排灯节) is a time of joy and celebration. Known as the Festival of Lights, people celebrate the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. One of their favorite sweets during this festival is the traditional Indian dessert, Gulab Jamun (玫瑰奶球). ④ In Germany during the Christmas season, an important tradition is baking cookies. Families gather in the kitchens to make delicious cookies as well as express love and care for each other. The act of baking and sharing Christmas cookies has been passed down through generations (世代), creating a feeling of warmth and togetherness during the festival. ⑤As we talk about foods in different cultural celebrations, we begin to understand the power of food to bring people together, honor traditions, and create lasting memories. No matter what the foods are, they serve as a reminder of our shared humanity (人性) and the importance of celebrating our cultural heritage. 55．What does the writer mainly wants to tell us?

They came from taofu in Zhou Dynasty and people put up couplets on the door to keep away from evil spirits (辟邪). Every Spring Festival, whether (无论) in cities or villages, rich or poor, every family will carefully choose a pair of red couplets and put it up.”可推知，无论贫富，每个家庭都会贴春联，所以有孩子的商人（代表普通家庭）很可能会选择带有吉祥寓意的第一副春联，以期来年更好。故选C。 54．最佳标题题。文章重点讲述了春节贴春联的传统，包括其历史渊源、文化意义及形式要求等。因此，最适合作为这篇文章的标题是D选项“Spring Festival Tradition: Putting up Couplets”。故选D。 E 55．C 56．D 57．A 58．B 59．D 【解析】本文主要讲述了食物在传统节日中发挥的重要作用并列举了几个国家传统节日是怎么庆祝的。 55．主旨大意题。根据“The main dish served during this festival is the dumpling.”“One of their favorite sweets during this festival is the traditional Indian dessert, Gulab Jamun (玫瑰奶球).”及“In Germany during the Christmas season, an important tradition is baking cookies.”可知，作者主要是介绍了一些国家在传统节日吃什么食物。故选C。 56．细节理解题。根据“Chinese people believe that dumplings can bring them good luck and prosperity (兴旺),”可知，在中国文化中，饺子是好运和兴旺的象征。故选D。 57．主旨大意题。根据“One such example is the Chinese Spring Festival celebrated by thousands of millions of people.

A．a school newspaper B．the Internet C．a reading report D．a writing magazine B ①Miss Gu, 28, played the role of “Spring Festival . organizer” in her family for the first time this year. In the past, that was her parents’ job. ② “Too many activities and visits to relatives (亲戚) can make the festival more of a chore than a break,” Gu said. So she decided to make things simple this year. ③One of the main changes Gu made was about visiting relatives. She didn’t have a plan for in-person visits. Instead, she made video calls. Surprisingly, her family and relatives all liked the video call. They thought it was easy and relaxing. Her relatives also said they didn’t have to run from all over the country back to their hometown. ④ “The video call also stopped them from discussing young people’s studies, work, and marriage when they ran out of topics (话题),” said Gu. ⑤Another change Gu made was to make their Lunar New Year’s Eve meal simpler. The meal usually took them days to prepare and a whole day in the kitchen to cook, serve and clean in the past. ⑥Instead of starting cooking at 8: 00 am, Gu and her family started at 4: 00 pm and finished cooking in around two hours. “We made delicious dumplings together and fewer dishes than usual. My family finished most of the food that evening,” said Gu. ⑦Gu is not the only one. Young Chinese are becoming active organizers, changing how people celebrate the traditional festival. 41．What can we tell from the underlined words? A．Gug ot tired of some festival activities.

A．A Traditional Festival B．A New Way to Celebrate C．A Brave Young Woman D．A Cultural Activity C February 2 is Groundhog Day (土拨鼠日) in North America. The groundhog is the only animal with its own holiday. Groundhogs spend the winter sleeping. This keeps them warm during the long, cold winter. Tradition says that the groundhog leaves its home on February 2. If it sees its shadow (影子) on this day, it will go back to its home for six more weeks. Then there will be six more weeks of winter. If it does not see its shadow, then spring will come early that year. ________ They say it is just a fun day, but people keep thinking that animals can tell what the weather will be like. In France and England, they look to the bear to know about the cold weather. In Germany, people look to the badger (獾). Americans look to the groundhog. This may be because there were so many groundhogs when people first came to America. One town in Pennsylvania is noted for Groundhog Day. This town has a groundhog named Phil. Many people come to see Phil on February 2. They want to know if Phil will see its shadow. There is a big party on Groundhog Day. People dress up in fancy clothes. The men wear top hats. They have fun. They learn when spring is coming, too. 46．What helps groundhogs keep warm in winter? A．Staying at home. B．Seeing their shadows. C．Sleeping.

D The UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) added “Spring Festival” to the World Intangible Cultural Heritage (世界非物质文化遗产) on December 4, 2024. The Spring Festival is one of the most important festivals both in China and around the world. What do you usually do on this festival? Clean up the rooms, hand red lanterns (灯笼) or watch Spring Festival Gala (春晚)? All of them are traditions during the Spring Festival. But there is another key part to the celebrations: putting up the red Spring Festival couplets! Couplets, also named duilian, are a special form of literature (文学) in China. They came from taofu in Zhou Dynasty and people put up couplets on the door to keep away from evil spirits (辟邪). Every Spring Festival, whether (无论) in cities or villages, rich or poor, every family will carefully choose a pair of red couplets and put it up. Here are a few rules for the couplets. They have two lines. The first line is on the right, and the second line is on the left. Each line must have the same number of words. The second line is similar to the first line in both grammar and artistic conception (意象). Finally, a short phrase called crossing (横批) is also needed to make up the couplets. The words on the couplets are always simple but meaningful, which shows people’s good wishes. Nowadays, more and more foreigners begin to celebrate the Spring Festival. Let’s take a look at two English couplets with Chinese characteristics (特色). 51．What Spring Festival tradition is NOT mentioned (提及) in the passage? A．Handing red lanterns. B．Buying new clothes.
