Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different time on the calendar. In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on 31st December--1st January. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal (正式的) clothes, and they may drink champagne (香槟酒) at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise. Many cultures also do special things to get rid of (摆脱) bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh (重新). Other common traditions to keep away from bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saving special things on the first day of the new year. Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the new year. In France, people eat pancakes for good lock at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year, you have to eat 365 of them! 51．In some cultures, people throw things into rivers or the ocean to ____________.

They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise.”可知有些地方在早晨庆祝新年。故选A。 53．主旨大意题。这篇短文的第一段是本文的中心，根据这一段中“Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different time on the calendar.”我们可知，不同的文化有不同的庆祝新年的方式，而且是在不同的时间。从下一段开始作者给我们讲述了具体有什么不同。因此B选项“几种不同的新年传统”最符合文意。故选B。 The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and is also called the Double Ninth Festival, as both the month and the day are the ninth. To celebrate the day, people usually climb mountains and enjoy chrysanthemums (菊花), so the festival is also known as the Height Ascending (登高) Festival or the Chrysanthemum Festival. In Chinese, nine has the same pronunciation with the word “久”, meaning a long life. So the Chinese government set the day as the Seniors’ Day. The festival has a history of over 2,000 years. It began to be popular among the common people from the Han Dynasty. The name of the Chongyang Festival first appeared in the Three Kingdoms Period. But it was not officially set as a festival until the Tang Dynasty. Since then, all the people have spent the festival with many kinds of activities. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people in the imperial palace ate flower cakes to celebrate. The emperor climbed the mountain on the day as well. In 1989, the Chinese government set the day as the Seniors’ Day. On the day, enjoying chrysanthemums is very popular as the flower means a long life. Drinking chrysanthemum wine is regarded (看待) as a way to keep bad things away. Wearing zhuyu is also a tradition to avoid the bad as it has a special smell which can repel (驱逐) insects and keep out the cold. 54．How many other names does the Chongyang Festival have according to the passage?

A．The Chongyang Festival B．The Meaning of Chrysanthemums C．Ways to Celebrate the Chongyang Festival D．Reasons for Setting Up the Chongyang Festival 【答案】54．D 55．B 56．D 57．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国重阳节的来历和习俗。 54．细节理解题。根据第一段“the Double Ninth Festival” “the Height Ascending Festival” “the Chrysanthemum Festival”和“the Seniors’ Day”可知重阳节还有其他四个名字。故选D。 55．词义猜测题。根据“It began to be popular among the common people from the Han Dynasty ... But it was not officially set as a festival until the Tang Dynasty.”可知，从汉代开始，它就在普通民众中流行起来；但直到唐朝，它才被正式定为节日。由此可知officially与“民众自发地”意思相反，结合选项可知以是“正式地、由政府”。故选B。 56．细节理解题。根据“On the day, enjoying chrysanthemums is very popular as the flower means a long life”可知，在这一天，观赏菊花很受欢迎，因为菊花意味着长寿。故选D。 57．最佳标题题。根据文章可知，本文主要介绍了中国重阳节的来历和习俗，所以最佳标题是“重阳节”。故选A。 The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, so it is also known as the Double Ninth 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 homony 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. 58．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. 59．In one of ________ poems, we can know the traditions of climbing mountains and carrying dogwood on the Chongyang Festival.

Do you think you can’t spend a coin on that day? This holiday encourages people to stop buying things. It began in the 1990s in Vancouver, Canada. It was the idea of a man named Kalle Lasn. After making ads for many years, Lasn began to question the ways ads influenced people. Lasn knows that people need to buy things. They have to buy things to eat, live and even enjoy life. But Lasn believes that many ads encourage people to buy far more than necessary. He thinks it hurts people and culture. Lasn tries to help people understand some of the false values and ideas behind advertising. The main value he fights is the idea “You must buy more to be happy”. Encouraging people to celebrate “Buy Nothing Day” is one idea he came up with. “Buy Nothing Day” is celebrated on the fourth Friday of every November. Lasn chose this day for a very important reason. It is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Advertisers call this day Black Friday. The first “Buy Nothing Day” was celebrated in Canada in 1992. Many other countries also have growing problems with too much buying. Now, over sixty different countries, including the USA, the UK, Germany, France, Japan, are celebrating “Buy Nothing Day”. Some people don’t believe “Buy Nothing Day” can really change culture. “It is only one day,” they say. Other people say that consumers should not just cut down their shopping quantity (数量), but also increase their shopping quality. These people encourage consumers to buy things made in environment-friendly ways. But “Buy Nothing Day” does make people think about the bad influences of buying too much. 88． 89． 90． 91． 92． 【答案】88．(The) Start/Beginning/Origin 89．same day as 90．spread/been celebrated 91．reminded 92． less better 【导语】本文介绍了“无购物日”(Buy Nothing Day)这一节日的背景、意义以及它对人们消费观念的影响。通过倡导人们在这一天不消费，这个节日旨在反思过度消费对文化和个人的负面影响。 88．根据“This holiday encourages people to stop buying things.

Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different time on the calendar. In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on 31st December--1st January. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal (正式的) clothes, and they may drink champagne (香槟酒) at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise. Many cultures also do special things to get rid of (摆脱) bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh (重新). Other common traditions to keep away from bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saving special things on the first day of the new year. Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the new year. In France, people eat pancakes for good lock at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year, you have to eat 365 of them! 51．In some cultures, people throw things into rivers or the ocean to ____________.

A．the meaning of “Happy New Year” B．several different New Year traditions C．what to eat on New Year’s Day D．why people dress up nicely on New Year’s Day The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and is also called the Double Ninth Festival, as both the month and the day are the ninth. To celebrate the day, people usually climb mountains and enjoy chrysanthemums (菊花), so the festival is also known as the Height Ascending (登高) Festival or the Chrysanthemum Festival. In Chinese, nine has the same pronunciation with the word “久”, meaning a long life. So the Chinese government set the day as the Seniors’ Day. The festival has a history of over 2,000 years. It began to be popular among the common people from the Han Dynasty. The name of the Chongyang Festival first appeared in the Three Kingdoms Period. But it was not officially set as a festival until the Tang Dynasty. Since then, all the people have spent the festival with many kinds of activities. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, people in the imperial palace ate flower cakes to celebrate. The emperor climbed the mountain on the day as well. In 1989, the Chinese government set the day as the Seniors’ Day. On the day, enjoying chrysanthemums is very popular as the flower means a long life. Drinking chrysanthemum wine is regarded (看待) as a way to keep bad things away.

A．The Chongyang Festival B．The Meaning of Chrysanthemums C．Ways to Celebrate the Chongyang Festival D．Reasons for Setting Up the Chongyang Festival The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth 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 homony 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. 58．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. 59．In one of ________ poems, we can know the traditions of climbing mountains and carrying dogwood on the Chongyang Festival. A．Wang Wei’s B．Li Bai’s C．Du Fu’s D．Bai Juyi’s 60．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 exercises C．to enjoy beautiful autumn scenery D．both B and C 61．People living in plains far from mountains eat cakes because ________. A．the Chinese word for “cake” is “Gao” B．the Chinese “Gao” for cake sounds like the Chinese “Gao” for high C．they often take cakes to go for a picnic on the festival D．they like eating cakes 62．Which of the following is true?

This holiday encourages people to stop buying things. It began in the 1990s in Vancouver, Canada. It was the idea of a man named Kalle Lasn. After making ads for many years, Lasn began to question the ways ads influenced people. Lasn knows that people need to buy things. They have to buy things to eat, live and even enjoy life. But Lasn believes that many ads encourage people to buy far more than necessary. He thinks it hurts people and culture. Lasn tries to help people understand some of the false values and ideas behind advertising. The main value he fights is the idea “You must buy more to be happy”. Encouraging people to celebrate “Buy Nothing Day” is one idea he came up with. “Buy Nothing Day” is celebrated on the fourth Friday of every November. Lasn chose this day for a very important reason. It is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Advertisers call this day Black Friday. The first “Buy Nothing Day” was celebrated in Canada in 1992. Many other countries also have growing problems with too much buying. Now, over sixty different countries, including the USA, the UK, Germany, France, Japan, are celebrating “Buy Nothing Day”. Some people don’t believe “Buy Nothing Day” can really change culture. “It is only one day,” they say. Other people say that consumers should not just cut down their shopping quantity (数量), but also increase their shopping quality. These people encourage consumers to buy things made in environment-friendly ways. But “Buy Nothing Day” does make people think about the bad influences of buying too much. 88． 89． 90． 91． 92． 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 In China, the twelfth month of the lunar calendar is called “Layue”.
