Unit 2 Let’s celebrate! 让我们庆祝吧！ 话题阅读精练 时文拓展阅读 Christmas is one of the most widely celebrated festivals around the world. It is a time filled with joy, love, and the spirit of giving. In many Western countries, families decorate their Christmas trees with colorful lights, ornaments, and a star on the top. The tree symbolizes hope and new beginnings. On Christmas Eve, children often leave out cookies and milk for Santa Claus. They believe that Santa will come down the chimney and leave presents in their stockings. It's a magical time for kids, full of anticipation. In some countries, like Germany, Christmas markets are a big part of the celebration. These markets are filled with stalls selling handmade crafts, delicious treats such as gingerbread cookies and mulled wine. People stroll through the markets, enjoying the festive atmosphere. In addition to the Western traditions, there are also unique ways to celebrate Christmas in other parts of the world. In Japan, KFC has become a popular choice for Christmas dinner. This is a rather unusual tradition, but it has become a cultural phenomenon over the years. Another festival worth mentioning is the Chinese Spring Festival. It is a time for family reunions. People clean their houses thoroughly to sweep away bad luck from the old year. They also decorate their homes with red couplets, which symbolize good fortune and happiness. 语篇翻译： 圣诞节是世界上庆祝范围最广的节日之一。这是一个充满欢乐、爱与奉献精神的时刻。在许多西方国家，家庭用彩灯、饰品装饰圣诞树，并在树顶放上一颗星星。圣诞树象征着希望和新的开始。 在平安夜，孩子们常常会给圣诞老人留下饼干和牛奶。他们相信圣诞老人会从烟囱下来，把礼物放在他们的袜子里。对孩子们来说，这是一个充满期待的神奇时刻。 在一些国家，比如德国，圣诞市场是庆祝活动的重要组成部分。这些市场上摆满了出售手工艺品、美味点心（如姜饼饼干和热红酒）的摊位。人们漫步在市场中，享受节日的氛围。 除了西方的传统，世界其他地方也有独特的庆祝圣诞节的方式。在日本，肯德基已成为圣诞节晚餐的热门选择。这是一个相当不寻常的传统，但多年来它已成为一种文化现象。 另一个值得一提的节日是中国的春节。这是一个家庭团聚的时刻。人们彻底打扫房屋，扫除旧年的厄运。他们还用红色的春联装饰房屋，春联象征着好运和幸福。 重点词汇： celebrate [ˈselɪbreɪt] v. 庆祝；庆贺 ornament [ˈɔːnəmənt] n. 装饰品；饰品 symbolize [ˈsɪmbəlaɪz] v. 象征；代表 anticipation [ænˌtɪsɪˈpeɪʃn] n. 期待；预期 phenomenon [fəˈnɒmɪnən] n. 现象 reunion [ˌriːˈjuːniən] n. 团聚；团圆 couplet [ˈkʌplət] n. 对联 长难句分析： In Japan, KFC has become a popular choice for Christmas dinner, which is a rather unusual tradition, but it has become a cultural phenomenon over the years. 抓标志：关系代词 which；并列连词 but。 判类型：主句（In Japan, KFC has become a popular choice for Christmas dinner） + 非限制性定语从句（which is a rather unusual tradition），but 连接另一个并列句（it has become a cultural phenomenon over the years）。 试翻译：在日本，肯德基已成为圣诞节晚餐的热门选择，这是一个相当不寻常的传统，但多年来它已成为一种文化现象。 高考真题链接 （2022·新高考全国Ⅱ卷·高考真题B篇）We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal. This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age. Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger. What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid? Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that. Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites. There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province. Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet. 24．What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2? A．Provided shelter for me. B．Became very clear to me. C．Took the pressure off me. D．Worked quite well on me. 25．Why did the kid poke the storybook? A．He took it for a tablet computer. B．He disliked the colorful pictures. C．He was angry with his grandpa. D．He wanted to read it by himself. 26．What does the author think of himself? A．Socially ambitious. B．Physically attractive. C．Financially independent. D．Digitally competent. 27．What can we learn about the author as a journalist? A．He lacks experience in his job. B．He seldom appears on television. C．He manages a video department. D．He often interviews internet stars. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者曾经是一名记者，在春节期间，作者给孙子拿了一本儿童读物，孙子却以为是平板电脑，不停地戳书。 24. B 词句猜测题。根据第一段“We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.”以及画线词后文“as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday.”可知，作者是记者，生活在一个讲故事的新时代，有许多新的多媒体工具。许多年轻人甚至没有意识到它是新的。对他们来说，这很正常。而这在春节假期，作者和两岁的孙子坐在沙发上，尤其清楚认识到了这一点。故画线词意思是“我很清楚”。故选B。 25.

According to records from the mysterious book Yi Jing, the number 6 belonged to the Yin character while the number 9 was thought to be of the Yang character. So, on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, both day and month are Yang characters. Therefore, the festival was named the Chongyang Festival. In ancient China, as people ascended (登高) to high places on the Double Ninth Festival, it is also known as the Height Ascending Festival. This custom was supposedly started during the Eastern Han Dynasty, when people usually climbed mountains or towers. The Double Ninth Festival is a golden time of the year. The first person who purportedly (据称) enjoyed chrysanthemums and drank chrysanthemum wine on that day was the poet Tao Yuanming, who lived during the Jin Dynasty. Tao Yuanming, famous for his poems, enjoyed chrysanthemums. Many people followed his suit, drinking hrysanthemum wine and enoying chrysanthemums, which became a custom. During the Song Dynasty, enjoying chrysanthemums became popular and was an important activity on this festival day. After the Qing Dynasty, people went crazy for chrysanthemums, not only during the Double Ninth Festival, but also at other times by going outside and enjoying the plant. During the Tang Dynasty, inserting zhuyu on the Double Ninth Festival became popular. Ancient people believed that it helped avoid disasters. And women stuck chrysanthemums in their hair or hung branches on windows and doors to ward off evil. The Double Ninth Festival can be traced back to the Warring States Period. During the Tang Dynasty, the Double Ninth Festival was on official lists of folk festivals. Like other traditional festivals, the Double Ninth Festival also has ancient legends. 1．What does the “yang” in the Chongyang Festival refer to? A．The date of the festival. B．The weather during the festival. C．The cakes prepared for the festival. D．The flowers enjoyed during the festival. 2．What's the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．Tao Yuanming is famous for poems themed chrysanthemums. B．People were fascinated by chrysanthemums during the Jin Dynasty. C．The Double Ninth Festival is usually celebrated in a pleasant season. D．Enjoying chrysanthemums and chrysanthemum wine came from Tao Yuanming. 3．Why do people insert zhuyu on the Double Ninth Festival? A．Because it is a plant with a strong fragrance. B．Because it can beautifully decorate windows. C．Because it is believed to help protect people from disasters. D．Because it can be used to drive away animals in the mountain. 4．What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows? A．The activities of the Double Ninth Festival. B．The stories behind the Double Ninth Festival. C．The popularity of the Double Ninth Festival. D．The food customs of the Double Ninth Festival. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。重阳节是中国传统节日之一，在每年农历九月初九。重阳节在历史发展演变中融合了多种民俗，承载了丰富的文化内涵。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段的“So, on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, both day and month are Yang characters. Therefore, the festival was named the Chongyang Festival.(所以，在农历九月初九，日和月都是阳字。因此，这个节日被命名为重阳节。)”可知，重阳节名字中的“阳”指的是节日的日期中两个 9 是“阳数”。故选A。 2．主旨大意题。根据第三段的“The first person who purportedly (据称) enjoyed chrysanthemums and drank chrysanthemum wine on that day was the poet Tao Yuanming, who lived during the Jin Dynasty. Tao Yuanming, famous for his poems, enjoyed chrysanthemums. Many people followed his suit, drinking hrysanthemum wine and enoying chrysanthemums, which became a custom. During the Song Dynasty, enjoying chrysanthemums became popular and was an important activity on this festival day.(据说第一个在这一天赏菊喝菊花酒的人是金朝的诗人陶渊明。以诗歌闻名的陶渊明喜欢菊花。许多人效仿他，喝菊花酒，赏菊花，这成为一种习俗。在宋代，赏菊开始流行，并成为这个节日的重要活动。)”可知，本段主要讲述了重阳节赏菊花、喝菊花酒这一习俗始于陶渊明。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段的“Ancient people believed that it helped avoid disasters.(古人相信它有助于避免灾难。)”可知, 在重阳节插茱萸是因古代人们认为茱萸可以驱灾。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Like other traditional festivals, Chongyang Festival also has ancient legends.(和其他传统节日一样，重阳节也有古老的传说。)”可知，此处作者指出重阳节和其他传统节日一样也有古老的传说。由此推知，接下来作者很可能会进一步展开关于重阳节的传奇故事。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25高一下·甘肃白银·期末）The 39th Pengsheng Tongken Munao Zongge Festival (目瑙纵歌节) began on Feb 5 in Jinghan township, Longchuan county of Southwest China’s Yunnan Province. Tens of thousands of Jingpo people, young and old, danced together in their holiday best to the magnificent sound of gongs and drums to celebrate Munao Zongge, the ethnic group’s biggest festival of the year. Munao Zongge means “dancing together” in the Jingpo language and is often celebrated around the Lantern Festival every year, lasting for three to seven days. It takes place shortly after the celebration of the Spring Festival ends. In ancient times, it was said that only the children of the Sun could dance in the traditional Munao Carnival. According to the legend, the king of the Sun once invited all of the Earth’s creatures to the carnival in the Sun Palace.

According to the legend, that was how Jingpo Munao Carnival started. It is said that after humans learned the Munao Zongge dance, they became healthier and luckier. To this day, whenever the Jingpo people need to get rid of evil spirits or pray for a better harvest, they perform the Munao Zongge dance. Listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2006, the carnival serves as a window to showcase the Jingpo people’s history, culture and art. Munao Zongge used to be celebrated only by Jingpo people but recent years has brought different people from all over the world to join in on this carnival and dance together.

Dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the festival has rapidly evolved (发展), incorporating the finest elements from other splendid cultures and using modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national cultural heritage. “Making a giant lantern suitable for exhibition typically requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is accomplished by a team instead of a single maker,” Wan added. A sundial (日晷) made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 artisans (工匠) over 50 days from drafting the design to final light adjustments (调整). Setting themselves apart from lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering, and holography (全息摄影术). They serve as perfect combinations of lights, sounds and movements. For example, the sundial employs mechanical transmission to power an amazing Chinese dragon that revolves (旋转) around its rim (边缘). Most traditional crafts have been limited to specific families or groups. However, the inheritance of Zigong lantern-making is unique as it “is driven and led by the government, which encourages all citizens to learn the craft”, explained Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. Furthermore, there are no thematic limits at the Zigong Lantern Festival. “Anything that can be shown on a lantern can make a wonderful display, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into reality,” Zhang stated. The diverse themes of Zigong lanterns mirror the inclusivity (包容性) that has been rooted in the hearts of the local people for years. Zhang Fanglai said that Zigong is a city shaped by immigration. “Migrants from other cities not only invested their money but also brought their unique cultures,” Zhang explained. “At the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of collaboration (合作) and embracing cultural diversity, both within and beyond the city,” Zhang remarked. Driven by the collective efforts of the entire city, it is hardly surprising that Zigong lanterns have reached countries like France, Russia, the United States and Lithuania. By MENG TIANTIAN, 21st Century Teens ZIGONG LANTERNS TO THE RESCUE Zigong’s craftspeople excel (擅长) not only in crafting large-scale lanterns but also in creating smaller ones suitable for home decoration. In late 2018, the Forbidden City planned a lantern exhibition which needs to accurately (准确地) replicate (复制) the palace lanterns once hung in the Forbidden City. After people from the Palace Museum inspected (检视) numerous lantern makers, none met their standards ‑ until they turned to Zigong. The sample lanterns from Zigong were astonishingly similar to the originals, leading to a lantern exhibition that left visitors with lasting impressions. 1．Which of the following best describes the process of making the sundial lantern? A．Efficient. B．Unpredictable. C．Smooth. D．Demanding. 2．How are Zigong lanterns different from those made in other areas? A．They are made by a team of artisans. B．They make use of advanced technology. C．They are not limited by themes. D．They are financially supported by the government. 3．What is unique about the inheritance of Zigong lantern-making? A．It is promoted by the government. B．It is limited to specific families or groups. C．It is open to all netizens in the country to learn. D．It is enriched by the cultural backgrounds of immigrants. 4．What does the underlined word “embracing” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A．Removing. B．Accepting. C．Challenging. D．Ignoring. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述自贡灯会融合传统技艺与现代科技，政府推动传承，主题多元，具包容性，远销多国。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“‘Making a giant lantern suitable for exhibition typically requires 17 steps,’ said Wan Songtao, an inheritor of Zigong lantern-making. ‘Each step is accomplished by a team instead of a single maker,’ Wan added. A sundial (日晷) made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 artisans (工匠) over 50 days from drafting the design to final light adjustments (调整). (自贡灯笼制作的继承人万松涛说，‘制作一个适合展览的巨型灯笼通常需要17个步骤。’万补充道，‘每一步都是由一个团队完成的，而不是由一个制造商完成的。’例如，万团队制作的日晷，从设计草图到最终的调光，大约需要80名工匠在50天内完成。)”可知，制作过程需多步骤、大量人力和时间，体现出“高要求（Demanding）”的特点。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段首句“Setting themselves apart from lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering, and holography (全息摄影术). (与其他地方的灯笼不同，自贡彩灯使用人工智能、机械工程和全息摄影等现代技术。)”可知，自贡彩灯独特之处在于运用先进技术。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“However, the inheritance of Zigong lantern-making is unique as it ‘is driven and led by the government, which encourages all citizens to learn the craft’, explained Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. ’(然而，自贡灯笼制作的传承是独一无二的，因为它‘是由政府推动和领导的，政府鼓励所有公民学习这门手艺’，中国彩灯博物馆的首席研究员张芳来解释道。 ’)”可知，自贡灯笼独特性在于政府的推动。故选A项。 4．词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“At the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of collaboration (合作) and embracing cultural diversity, both within and beyond the city, (自贡元宵节成功的核心是当地在城市内外合作和embracing文化多样性的传统，)”并结合前文“Zhang Fanglai said that Zigong is a city shaped by immigration. ‘Migrants from other cities not only invested their money but also brought their unique cultures,’ Zhang explained. (张芳来说，自贡是一个移民塑造的城市。张解释说：‘来自其他城市的移民不仅投资了他们的钱，还带来了他们独特的文化。’)”可猜测，embracing意为“接受”的意思，即这里指接受不同的文化传统。故选B项。 Passage 5 （24-25高一下·辽宁·期末）The Dragon Boat Festival is marked by a variety of cultural practices and foods that vary by region. 1 These not only honor Qu Yuan but also serve as a display of teamwork and community spirit. Zongzi, or sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves, are a main food during the festival. These dumplings can have sweet or salty fillings, with variations seen across different regions of China. Consuming realgar(雄黄) wine is another tradition associated with the Dragon Boat Festival. Historically, this practice was believed to drive off evil spirits and disease. The wine consists of fermented cereals(发酵谷物) and powdered realgar. 2 To prevent diseases and keep away insects, homes are often decorated with plants like mugwort(艾草). These plants are believed to have protective properties, matching with the festival’s themes of health and safety. On the Dragon Boat Festival, children normally wear scented sachets(香囊) with five-color silk string to keep away evil. A scented sachet is a decoration worn on the front of the dress. It is usually wrapped in a silk cloth and sometimes decorated with beautiful patterns. Multicolor silk threads are attached to the sachet as decorative strings. 3 The Dragon Boat Festival is rooted in Chinese culture. 4 Around the world, particularly in countries with large Chinese communities, the festival is celebrated with dragon boat races and cultural events. In the United States, cities like New York and San Francisco host dragon boat festivals that draw participants from diverse backgrounds, celebrating both the sport and its cultural origins.

It is a time filled with joy, love, and the spirit of giving. In many Western countries, families decorate their Christmas trees with colorful lights, ornaments, and a star on the top. The tree symbolizes hope and new beginnings. On Christmas Eve, children often leave out cookies and milk for Santa Claus. They believe that Santa will come down the chimney and leave presents in their stockings. It's a magical time for kids, full of anticipation. In some countries, like Germany, Christmas markets are a big part of the celebration. These markets are filled with stalls selling handmade crafts, delicious treats such as gingerbread cookies and mulled wine. People stroll through the markets, enjoying the festive atmosphere. In addition to the Western traditions, there are also unique ways to celebrate Christmas in other parts of the world. In Japan, KFC has become a popular choice for Christmas dinner. This is a rather unusual tradition, but it has become a cultural phenomenon over the years. Another festival worth mentioning is the Chinese Spring Festival. It is a time for family reunions. People clean their houses thoroughly to sweep away bad luck from the old year. They also decorate their homes with red couplets, which symbolize good fortune and happiness. 语篇翻译： 圣诞节是世界上庆祝范围最广的节日之一。这是一个充满欢乐、爱与奉献精神的时刻。在许多西方国家，家庭用彩灯、饰品装饰圣诞树，并在树顶放上一颗星星。圣诞树象征着希望和新的开始。 在平安夜，孩子们常常会给圣诞老人留下饼干和牛奶。他们相信圣诞老人会从烟囱下来，把礼物放在他们的袜子里。对孩子们来说，这是一个充满期待的神奇时刻。 在一些国家，比如德国，圣诞市场是庆祝活动的重要组成部分。这些市场上摆满了出售手工艺品、美味点心（如姜饼饼干和热红酒）的摊位。人们漫步在市场中，享受节日的氛围。 除了西方的传统，世界其他地方也有独特的庆祝圣诞节的方式。在日本，肯德基已成为圣诞节晚餐的热门选择。这是一个相当不寻常的传统，但多年来它已成为一种文化现象。 另一个值得一提的节日是中国的春节。这是一个家庭团聚的时刻。人们彻底打扫房屋，扫除旧年的厄运。他们还用红色的春联装饰房屋，春联象征着好运和幸福。 重点词汇： celebrate [ˈselɪbreɪt] v. 庆祝；庆贺 ornament [ˈɔːnəmənt] n. 装饰品；饰品 symbolize [ˈsɪmbəlaɪz] v. 象征；代表 anticipation [ænˌtɪsɪˈpeɪʃn] n. 期待；预期 phenomenon [fəˈnɒmɪnən] n. 现象 reunion [ˌriːˈjuːniən] n. 团聚；团圆 couplet [ˈkʌplət] n. 对联 长难句分析： In Japan, KFC has become a popular choice for Christmas dinner, which is a rather unusual tradition, but it has become a cultural phenomenon over the years. 抓标志：关系代词 which；并列连词 but。 判类型：主句（In Japan, KFC has become a popular choice for Christmas dinner） + 非限制性定语从句（which is a rather unusual tradition），but 连接另一个并列句（it has become a cultural phenomenon over the years）。 试翻译：在日本，肯德基已成为圣诞节晚餐的热门选择，这是一个相当不寻常的传统，但多年来它已成为一种文化现象。 高考真题链接 （2022·新高考全国Ⅱ卷·高考真题B篇）We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal. This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age. Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger. What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid? Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that. Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites. There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province. Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet. 24．What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2? A．Provided shelter for me. B．Became very clear to me. C．Took the pressure off me. D．Worked quite well on me. 25．Why did the kid poke the storybook? A．He took it for a tablet computer. B．He disliked the colorful pictures. C．He was angry with his grandpa. D．He wanted to read it by himself. 26．What does the author think of himself? A．Socially ambitious. B．Physically attractive. C．Financially independent. D．Digitally competent. 27．What can we learn about the author as a journalist? A．He lacks experience in his job. B．He seldom appears on television. C．He manages a video department.

Passage 4 （2025高一·全国·专题练习）Zigong lanterns illuminate a colorful world through great ideas and cool tech 自贡彩灯：传统技艺与高科技的碰撞 From Chinese culture enthusiasts to League of Legends fans, everyone can find something they’re passionate about at the Zigong Lantern Festival in Zigong, Sichuan province. Dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the festival has rapidly evolved (发展), incorporating the finest elements from other splendid cultures and using modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national cultural heritage. “Making a giant lantern suitable for exhibition typically requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is accomplished by a team instead of a single maker,” Wan added. A sundial (日晷) made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 artisans (工匠) over 50 days from drafting the design to final light adjustments (调整). Setting themselves apart from lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering, and holography (全息摄影术). They serve as perfect combinations of lights, sounds and movements. For example, the sundial employs mechanical transmission to power an amazing Chinese dragon that revolves (旋转) around its rim (边缘). Most traditional crafts have been limited to specific families or groups. However, the inheritance of Zigong lantern-making is unique as it “is driven and led by the government, which encourages all citizens to learn the craft”, explained Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. Furthermore, there are no thematic limits at the Zigong Lantern Festival. “Anything that can be shown on a lantern can make a wonderful display, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into reality,” Zhang stated. The diverse themes of Zigong lanterns mirror the inclusivity (包容性) that has been rooted in the hearts of the local people for years. Zhang Fanglai said that Zigong is a city shaped by immigration. “Migrants from other cities not only invested their money but also brought their unique cultures,” Zhang explained. “At the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of collaboration (合作) and embracing cultural diversity, both within and beyond the city,” Zhang remarked. Driven by the collective efforts of the entire city, it is hardly surprising that Zigong lanterns have reached countries like France, Russia, the United States and Lithuania. By MENG TIANTIAN, 21st Century Teens ZIGONG LANTERNS TO THE RESCUE Zigong’s craftspeople excel (擅长) not only in crafting large-scale lanterns but also in creating smaller ones suitable for home decoration. In late 2018, the Forbidden City planned a lantern exhibition which needs to accurately (准确地) replicate (复制) the palace lanterns once hung in the Forbidden City. After people from the Palace Museum inspected (检视) numerous lantern makers, none met their standards ‑ until they turned to Zigong. The sample lanterns from Zigong were astonishingly similar to the originals, leading to a lantern exhibition that left visitors with lasting impressions. 1．Which of the following best describes the process of making the sundial lantern? A．Efficient. B．Unpredictable. C．Smooth. D．Demanding. 2．How are Zigong lanterns different from those made in other areas? A．They are made by a team of artisans. B．They make use of advanced technology. C．They are not limited by themes. D．They are financially supported by the government. 3．What is unique about the inheritance of Zigong lantern-making? A．It is promoted by the government.

D．It is enriched by the cultural backgrounds of immigrants. 4．What does the underlined word “embracing” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A．Removing. B．Accepting. C．Challenging. D．Ignoring. Passage 5 （24-25高一下·辽宁·期末）The Dragon Boat Festival is marked by a variety of cultural practices and foods that vary by region. 1 These not only honor Qu Yuan but also serve as a display of teamwork and community spirit. Zongzi, or sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves, are a main food during the festival. These dumplings can have sweet or salty fillings, with variations seen across different regions of China. Consuming realgar(雄黄) wine is another tradition associated with the Dragon Boat Festival. Historically, this practice was believed to drive off evil spirits and disease. The wine consists of fermented cereals(发酵谷物) and powdered realgar. 2 To prevent diseases and keep away insects, homes are often decorated with plants like mugwort(艾草). These plants are believed to have protective properties, matching with the festival’s themes of health and safety. On the Dragon Boat Festival, children normally wear scented sachets(香囊) with five-color silk string to keep away evil. A scented sachet is a decoration worn on the front of the dress. It is usually wrapped in a silk cloth and sometimes decorated with beautiful patterns. Multicolor silk threads are attached to the sachet as decorative strings. 3 The Dragon Boat Festival is rooted in Chinese culture. 4 Around the world, particularly in countries with large Chinese communities, the festival is celebrated with dragon boat races and cultural events. In the United States, cities like New York and San Francisco host dragon boat festivals that draw participants from diverse backgrounds, celebrating both the sport and its cultural origins. The Dragon Boat Festival has been recognized as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage, highlighting its cultural significance and the need to preserve traditional practices. 5 The festival’s impact is evident in its ability to bring people together, creating a sense of unity and shared heritage.

Passage 6 （2025·湖南邵阳·模拟预测）The Dragon Heads-raising Day: Customs and Symbolism The Dragon Heads-raising Day, observed on the second day of the second lunar month, symbolizes the beginning of spring plowing and the revival of all living things. 1 Rooted in the belief that the awakened dragon brings new energy, this practice transforms haircuts into a ceremony to bring good luck. 2 Beijingers eat Lvdagunr (sticky rice rolls) and spring pancakes, Shanxi locals enjoy fried dough twists, Shandong residents favor fried soy beans and dumplings, while Fuzhou natives prepare salted porridge made of sticky rice, green onion, garlic, fry dried shrimps and seafood. The festival’s popcorn tradition dates back to a Tang Dynasty legend when the Jade Emperor punished China by stopping rain for three years. 3 who secretly created rain but was trapped under a mountain with the condition: “Only the blooming of golden beans brings freedom.” Villagers later discovered corn resembled golden beans. By making popcorn that bloomed when heated, they tricked the Jade Emperor into releasing the Azure Dragon (青龙), establishing this long-lasting tradition. 4 During this period, married daughters return to their homes to accompany their parents, strengthening familial bonds while assisting with farm preparations. This tradition reflects the festival’s connection to both family values and seasonal farming schedules. The festival also enforces specific taboos. 5 Using needles is prohibited to avoid injuring the dragon’s eyes as people think the dragon will raise its head to look towards the earth, while washing clothes is discouraged in certain areas to protect the dragon’s “skin”. These practices demonstrate people’s respect for the mythical creature’s well-being. A．Needlework is strictly avoided by women. B．The Azure Dragon disobeyed his order, C．Barbershops witness unexpected crowds. D．Farmers conducted rain-seeking ceremonies. E．Daughters’ reunions meet emotional and practical needs. F．Local cooking traditions create diverse festive foods across regions. G．Southern regions prioritize rice-based special food.
