A
I was on an amazing trip with my wife,
following Marco, our guide to experience the
festival of Qoyllur Riti which takes place at 4,300
metres in the southern Andes of Peru,a festival
which few foreign tourists ever get to see.
People were travelling to this festival from all
over Peru. Among them there were old men,
mothers with small babies and children all following
the same route. Many of them had horses carrying
their food,blankets and tents. Some,like us,had
come by bus to Mahuayani,the nearest town,and
were walking up from there.
We continued climbing for another hour and a
half before reaching the Sinakara valley. There we
looked down on a flat plain of open grassland. Right
across this flat piece of ground people were putting
up tents of blue plastic to protect themselves
from

the rain. Marco chose a spot to put up our tent.
Not far away in an open market,people were
buying tiny houses,cars or small pictures showing a
baby or something else. Marco explained that these
represented something the pilgrims(朝圣者)wanted.
They would take them and bury them in the mountain.
This,they believed,would make sure that what they
wished for would come true in the year to come.
After dinner we went to bed fully clothed
inside our sleeping bags. We were up early the next
morning,the main day of the festival. The Ukukus
men wearing black masks and bright costumes,had
left their tents in the early hours to climb the
nearest mountain by the light of the full moon. They
stopped to dance from time to time,believing this
would bring luck to their villages. As they came
down,they were joined by groups of dancers in
traditional costumes. They performed wherever there
was a space. Although there did not seem to be
anyone organising them, the whole festival had
become a huge harmonious celebration.

The traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival,or
Dragon HeadRaising Festival,falls on the second
day of the second lunar month every year,and
recognizes the start of spring and farming. This year
it falls on March 14.
Ancient people believed that after this day,
rainfall increases because the rainbringing Dragon
King has awoken from his winter sleep. A well
known phrase goes,“Er yue er,long tai tou”,
meaning “On the second day of the second lunar
month,the dragon lifts his head.”
The festival celebrates ancient Chinese
agrarian culture,and while some of traditional ways
to celebrate it are no longer practised, others
continue to exist.
The most famous tradition is getting a haircut.
Some believe that going to the barber on this day
gets rid of bad luck,while others believe getting a
haircut during the first month of the lunar calendar
brings bad luck. Another saying warns that cutting
your hair in the first lunar month will cause your
uncle to die. Although today few pay attention to it,
it was once a tradition to line up outside
barbershops on the day of Longtaitou.
People eat tofu balls in East Chinas Fujian
Province during the festival,and often make tofu
and vegetable balls to pray for family and busi
ness.

people in parts of Shandong Province. Eating
chengyao cakes,which are made with sticky rice,
during the festival is a tradition in Suzhou,East
Chinas Jiangsu Province,owing to the saying,“If
you eat chengyao cakes on Longtaitou,your waist
wont hurt all year.”Meanwhile other foods,like
noodles,dumplings,and spring rolls,are named
after dragon body parts to mark the day. Noodles are
dragons beard (long xu),dumplings are dragons

文的作用。故选E。

为什么在重阳节“登高”,照应本段主题。故选C。

词。故填celebration。
2. carries 考查时态及主谓一致。本文通篇对中国新年装饰物进
行一般性介绍,所以用一般现在时;句子主语是动名词短语
decorating with. . .,所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填
carries。

置定语。故填coming。

示“橘子树不仅仅是装饰物,它们还是好运和财富的象征”。
故填than。

decorate是被动关系,所以用过去分词作宾补。故填decorated。

意首字母要大写。故填Certainly。
7. with 考查固定搭配。be associated with“与……有关,与……
相联系”。故填with。
8. to care 考查固定句式。sth. is easy to do“某事很容易做”。
不定式用主动形式表达被动含义。故填to care。
9. beautiful 考查形容词。由于空后的中心词是名词branches,
所以只能用形容词。故填beautiful。
10. the 考查冠词。the first to do sth.“第一个做某事的……”,不
定式短语作后置定语。故填the。
