The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization added “Spring Festival, social practices of the Chinese people in celebration of the traditional New Year” to the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人类非物质文化遗产) on December 4, 2024. Rao Quan, a vice minister (副部长), thanked people for their support at the meeting. The Spring Festival, he said, stands for the Chinese people’s hopes for a better life. Over the years, it has provided lasting spiritual strength (精神力量) for the Chinese people, he added. The festival falls on the first day of the Chinese calendar. It marks the start of the new year. Preparations for it begin weeks before Chinese New Year’s Day. Celebrations for the Spring Festival last for 15 days, ending with the Lantern Festival. These include family gatherings, big dinners, and different kinds of cultural activities. The festival starts at the dining table in every family. Spring Festival food traditions play an important role in the culture of Chinese diet. From dumplings to sticky rice cakes, from fried meatballs to red-cooked fish, and from the north to the south, all dishes carry the best wishes for people’s loved ones during the Spring Festival. There are many other old traditions as well. For example, people hang up red lanterns and set off fireworks. These practices are believed to keep away the beast called nian since the beast was afraid of loud noise and the color red. They also write the Chinese character Fu and stick Spring Festival couplets on their doors for good luck. Paper cutting, dragon dances and Lantern Festival events are important parts of the celebrations as well. Together they form some of the happiest days of the year for Chinese people.

For example, people hang up red lanterns and set off fireworks. These practices are believed to keep away the beast called nian since the beast was afraid of loud noise and the color red.”可知，人们挂红灯笼和放鞭炮是为了赶走叫“年”的野兽，因为这只野兽害怕噪音和红色。故填To keep away the beast called nian. 4．根据最后一段“The Spring Festival is now a public holiday in almost 20 countries.”可知，春节现在是近20个国家的公共假日。故填Almost 20 countries. 5．这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容和常识来回答。例如“I’m going to watch the Spring Festival Gala.”，具体做法可能因个人情况和习惯而有所不同。故填I’m going to watch the Spring Festival Gala. /I’m going to visit my friends. 八、补全对话（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 根据下面对话中的情境，在每个空白处填入一个适当的语句，使对话恢复完整。 Andy: Hi, Nick.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of them. This traditional festival offers people great chances to learn about rabbits. In Chinese stories, people connect the rabbit to the moon. Long ago, people believed (相信) a rabbit lived on the moon, called the Moon Rabbit. It is said to be the pet of the moon goddess, Chang’e. Rabbits are quiet but they run quickly. Besides, they can have many babies quickly, so Chinese people also see the rabbit as a symbol of good luck, thinking that having many children would bring happiness. Rabbits are famous in Western stories too! In Alice in Wonderland, Alice follows a rabbit and goes on an amazing adventure. In Western countries, rabbits are also seen as lucky animals. Some people believe that carrying a rabbit’s foot brings good luck. In the past, if young hunters caught a rabbit, they were given the rabbit’s back foot as a reward. In places like North America and the UK, some priests (牧师) say the word “rabbit” on the first day of each month to bring good luck. As we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, let’s enjoy these stories and share the good luck that rabbits bring! 1．Who raises a rabbit as a pet according to the text? A．Chang’e. B．Alice. C．Hunters. D．Priests. 2．What is the structure of this text? A．①/②/③/④ B．①②/③/④ C．①/②③/④ D．①②③/④ 3．What would be the best title?

Luckily, we human beings have realized the problem. Something must be done to stop pollution. It’s our duty to protect our Mother Earth. In order to live a better life, in September 1969, at a conference in Seattle, Washington, Senator Gaylord Nelson announced that in the spring of 1970, there would be a nationwide environmental activity. That was the concept (概念) of Earth Day. “It was a wish,” he recalls, “but it worked.” On April 22nd, 1970, World Earth Day was first observed. That day, 20 million people attended the movement in the US. On April 22, 1990, more than 200 million people in 141 countries took part in Earth Day celebrations. Earth Day 2007 was one of the largest Earth Days. Billions of people around the world took part in Earth Day events. More than 40,000 people show up for Earth Day festivities at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo, setting a single-day attendance record. People who have been fighting against oil spills, polluting factories, power plants and the loss of wilderness unite (联合) on Earth Day. If everyone makes a contribution to environmental protection, the world will become much more beautiful. In a word, if everyone pays more attention to our environment, there will be less pollution and our life will be better. There is only one earth. I hope everyone will protect our earth well. We should act like a civilized person: do not spit, do not litter, care for trees and plants… Let’s join hands to save the earth!
