(2025·广东深圳·二模)China has a long history of celebrating traditional festivals, each with unique customs and cultural meanings. Let’s explore four important Chinese festivals and how they are celebrated today.
The Spring Festival
The Spring Festival, marking the first day of the lunar new year, is China’s most important holiday. It is a time for family reunions. People clean their homes, decorate them with red lanterns and couplets (对联), and set off fireworks to welcome good luck. Children receive red envelopes (hongbao) with money for blessings.
The Qingming Festival
Qingming, in early April, is a day to honor ancestors. As spring arrives, farmers begin planting crops. People clean tombstones, offer food, and burn paper money as a sign of respect. Some also fly kites or take spring outings. In modern times, online memorials have also become popular, combining tradition with new technology.
The Dragon Boat Festival
Held on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, this festival is in memory of Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet. To protect his body, people threw rice into the river—now represented by zongzi. Dragon boat races are held nationwide. People also hang mugwort (艾蒿) to stop evil spirits. The festival combines history, sport, and health customs.
The Mid-Autumn Festival
On the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, families gather under the full moon, sharing mooncakes. The festival is linked to the legend of Chang’e, the moon goddess. Mooncakes, with sweet or salty fillings, symbolize unity. The Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates harmony and gratitude under the moonlight.

(2025·湖北武汉·模拟预测)“Why do Asians usually steam (蒸) a fish for the New Year when it can be cooked in other ways?” asks Andy Ricker, who runs several famous Thai restaurants in America.
One answer is that steamed fish can be delicious. The use of ginger, spring onions, celery leaves and oyster mushrooms strengthens the natural sweetness of the fish without adding the taste of oil or smoke. Another reason is that, in the right context, fish stand for good luck. The Chinese words for “fish” and “plenty” have the same pronunciation, and a whole fish, eaten on the eve of the lunar new year, represents a wish for abundance to come. Therefore, enough fish should be cooked to ensure leftovers.
___☆__ On New Year’s Day in America, black southerners have been eating Hoppin’ John, a delicious dish of rice and black-eyed beans, cooked with salted pork or smoked ham (interest in African-American culture has made the dish popular elsewhere). The beans symbolize coins, and the greens that are usually served as well stand for dollar bills. Some people even put a clean coin in the pot. Whoever gets it on their plate will enjoy a lot of good luck.
Different as these dishes are, they all represent hopes for good fortune (运气). Fish, beans and greens are neither costly nor extraordinary, suggesting that luck is not something bought expensively or found with difficulty, and it just lies all around and is always within reach.
Whether anyone actually believes in the relationship between eating these foods and receiving the promised benefits is unclear. Mainly, these food traditions continue for the same reason that other traditions do: People have fond memories of celebrating them with their parents, and want to pass them down to their own children.
1.The writer starts the passage by ________
A.raising a question B.giving examples
C.explaining reasons D.expressing feelings
2.The underlined word “abundance” in Para.2 probably means “________”.
A.leftovers B.promised benefits C.plenty of good things D.a whole year
3.Which of the following can be put in ___ ★___ ?
A.These new-year meals are filled with symbolism.
B.How do people in China usually celebrate the New Year?
C.Why do Americans all love Hoppin’John so much?
D.Such lucky dishes are not only found in Asia.
4.Which words can best describe the lucky dishes?
A.Expensive and unusual. B.Fresh and delicious.
C.Different and unreachable. D.Common and affordable.
5.Why do most people follow these food traditions according to the passage?
A.They value the experience behind the food.
B.They enjoy cooking food in special ways.
C.They truly believe in the food-for-luck stories.
D.Their children want to carry on the traditional culture.

(2025·湖北黄冈·模拟预测)①In ancient China, willow (柳树) branches (树枝) were often given as gifts between friends and family members. But do you know why willow branches became a symbol of saying goodbye?
②One reason is that willow trees are strong and can grow in almost any type of soil, whether it’s wet or dry. Because of this, giving a willow branch to say goodbye shows you hope they will get used to their new living environment easily. Meanwhile (同时), in Chinese, the pronunciation of the willow tree “liu (柳)” is similar to that of the character “liu (留)”, which means “to stay”. So, offering a willow branch is like asking someone to stay, even though you know that they have to leave.
③This tradition is said to have started during the Han Dynasty. At that time, Baqiao, a bridge in Chang’an, was a popular place to say goodbye. People would often stop there and hand willow branches to those who were leaving. Willow branches are also often mentioned in poems. During the Tang and Song dynasties, when travel became easier, poets (诗人) often wrote about the sadness of parting. For example, Wang Wei wrote in his poem, “The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.”
④From Han Dynasty bridges to modern airports, willow branches remind us how ancient Chinese wisdom turned nature into emotional text messages. Next time you see a willow tree, remember—its branches once carried more warm goodbyes than any smartphone emoji (表情符号)!
1.What made willow trees grow in new environments?
A.Their sweet water and rain. B.Their ability to grow in any soils.

2.The Chinese character “留 (liú)” mentioned in the article means ________.

3.“The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green” was written to ________.
A.describe a beautiful season B.celebrate a house ceremony

B.smartphone emojis carry more warm goodbyes

B
(2025·湖北武汉·模拟预测)“Why do Asians usually steam (蒸) a fish for the New Year when it can be cooked in other ways?” asks Andy Ricker, who runs several famous Thai restaurants in America.
One answer is that steamed fish can be delicious. The use of ginger, spring onions, celery leaves and oyster mushrooms strengthens the natural sweetness of the fish without adding the taste of oil or smoke. Another reason is that, in the right context, fish stand for good luck. The Chinese words for “fish” and “plenty” have the same pronunciation, and a whole fish, eaten on the eve of the lunar new year, represents a wish for abundance to come. Therefore, enough fish should be cooked to ensure leftovers.
___☆__ On New Year’s Day in America, black southerners have been eating Hoppin’ John, a delicious dish of rice and black-eyed beans, cooked with salted pork or smoked ham (interest in African-American culture has made the dish popular elsewhere). The beans symbolize coins, and the greens that are usually served as well stand for dollar bills. Some people even put a clean coin in the pot. Whoever gets it on their plate will enjoy a lot of good luck.
Different as these dishes are, they all represent hopes for good fortune (运气). Fish, beans and greens are neither costly nor extraordinary, suggesting that luck is not something bought expensively or found with difficulty, and it just lies all around and is always within reach.
Whether anyone actually believes in the relationship between eating these foods and receiving the promised benefits is unclear. Mainly, these food traditions continue for the same reason that other traditions do: People have fond memories of celebrating them with their parents, and want to pass them down to their own children.
1.The writer starts the passage by ________
A.raising a question B.giving examples
C.explaining reasons D.expressing feelings
2.The underlined word “abundance” in Para.2 probably means “________”.
A.leftovers B.promised benefits C.plenty of good things D.a whole year
3.Which of the following can be put in ___ ★___ ?
A.These new-year meals are filled with symbolism.
B.How do people in China usually celebrate the New Year?
C.Why do Americans all love Hoppin’John so much?
D.Such lucky dishes are not only found in Asia.
4.Which words can best describe the lucky dishes?
A.Expensive and unusual. B.Fresh and delicious.
C.Different and unreachable. D.Common and affordable.
5.Why do most people follow these food traditions according to the passage?
A.They value the experience behind the food.
B.They enjoy cooking food in special ways.
C.They truly believe in the food-for-luck stories.
D.Their children want to carry on the traditional culture.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.D 4.D 5.A
【导语】这篇文章主要探讨了不同文化中新年食物的象征意义及其背后的传统。
1.细节理解题。根据“Why do Asians usually steam (蒸) a fish for the New Year when it can be cooked in other ways?”可知,作者通过问问题的形式引出主题,故选A。
2.词义猜测题。根据“The Chinese words for ‘fish’ and ‘plenty’ have the same pronunciation, and a whole fish, eaten on the eve of the lunar new year, represents a wish for abundance to come. Therefore, enough fish should be cooked to ensure leftovers.”可知,在农历新年前夕吃一整条鱼,代表着对丰盛的祝愿。因此,应该煮足够的鱼以确保剩菜。所以abundance意为“丰富的”,故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据“On New Year’s Day in America, black southerners have been eating”及上文可知,不仅在亚洲,其它国家的新年食物也有象征意义。D项“这种幸运的菜肴不仅在亚洲有。”符合语境,故选D。
4.细节理解题。根据“Fish, beans and greens are neither costly nor extraordinary, suggesting that luck is not something bought expensively or found with difficulty, and it just lies all around and is always within reach.”可知,鱼、豆类和蔬菜既不昂贵,也不特别,这表明运气不是昂贵的东西,也不是很难找到的东西,它就在身边,总是触手可及。所以新年食物既常见又便宜,故选D。
5.细节理解题。根据“People have fond memories of celebrating them with their parents, and want to pass them down to their own children.”可知,人们对与父母一起庆祝这些节日有着美好的回忆,并想把它们传给自己的孩子。故选A。

(2025·湖北黄冈·模拟预测)①In ancient China, willow (柳树) branches (树枝) were often given as gifts between friends and family members. But do you know why willow branches became a symbol of saying goodbye?
②One reason is that willow trees are strong and can grow in almost any type of soil, whether it’s wet or dry. Because of this, giving a willow branch to say goodbye shows you hope they will get used to their new living environment easily. Meanwhile (同时), in Chinese, the pronunciation of the willow tree “liu (柳)” is similar to that of the character “liu (留)”, which means “to stay”. So, offering a willow branch is like asking someone to stay, even though you know that they have to leave.
③This tradition is said to have started during the Han Dynasty. At that time, Baqiao, a bridge in Chang’an, was a popular place to say goodbye. People would often stop there and hand willow branches to those who were leaving. Willow branches are also often mentioned in poems. During the Tang and Song dynasties, when travel became easier, poets (诗人) often wrote about the sadness of parting. For example, Wang Wei wrote in his poem, “The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.”
④From Han Dynasty bridges to modern airports, willow branches remind us how ancient Chinese wisdom turned nature into emotional text messages. Next time you see a willow tree, remember—its branches once carried more warm goodbyes than any smartphone emoji (表情符号)!
