For a folk artist, Wang De, it is also the busiest time to show his special fireworks (烟花)—dashuhua. Dashuhua means “creating tree flowers” and it has a long history of over 500 years. Dashuhua is a traditional kind of fireworks show. It usually takes place during certain festivals. In ancient times, this was a show only for the rich. People from poor villages or having no money couldn’t enjoy it. To create the special fireworks, Wang needs to melt scrap iron (融化铁屑) to 1,600℃ and throw it against a cold wall. Then people can enjoy the beautiful fireworks. Wang puts on a lot of dashuhua shows for local people and tourists as a part of the Spring Festival activities each year. Wang hopes the tradition can bring more tourists to his hometown. According to local reports, there are only four people left in China who can do the show well and three of them are not young. It’s hazardous to give a dashuhua show. The artists may get hurt easily when they are giving shows. But the brave still keep the tradition. During a show a few years ago, Wang’s leg was badly hurt and it took him two months to get well. Both Wang’s father and grandfather knew how to create dashuhua. “I learned to create the fireworks from my father. When I was young, I thought it was exciting. But years later I also felt it was my duty to pass it on,” he says. 26. When will Wang De probably give dashuhua shows? A. During the Spring Festival. B. During the Mid-Autumn Festival. C. During the Dragon Boat Festival. D. During the Double Ninth Festival. 27. Who might afford a dashuhua show in ancient times? A. A farmer in the field. B. A girl from a poor village. C. A man without much money. D. A businessman from a rich family. 28. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Useful. B. Valuable. C. Dangerous. D. Relaxing. 29. Which of the following best describes Wang De? A. Kind and rich. B. Quiet and brave. C. Careful and strict. D. Brave and excellent. 30. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Famous Folk Artists B. Beautiful Tree Flowers C. Chinese Popular Festivals D. Chinese Special Fireworks C 配对阅读。左栏是对五个人的情况的描述，右栏是相应信息的说明。请为每个人选择合适的信息。 ____31____ Tom is driving a car with his friends in America for the first time. ____32____ Li Fang is going to an American friend’s home for dinner.

In Western countries people usually celebrate New Year’s Day at midnight on 31st December. People may go to parties and drink champagne (香槟酒) at midnight. During the first minute of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the next year. But some countries 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 countries also do special things to get rid of (摆脱) bad luck at the beginning of the new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make big dolls from old clothes. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone. Another common tradition to keep away from bad luck in the new year is throwing things into rivers or the sea. Other New Year traditions are to bring good luck in the new year. One 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 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! While in France, people eat pancakes for good luck on New Year’s Day. 46. When do Western people usually celebrate New Year’s Day? ________________________________________________________________ 47.

It’s one of the most important traditional festivals in China, celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival was really special for me. First, my mom and I made mooncakes together in the afternoon. We tried making lotus seed paste mooncakes, and even though they weren’t perfectly shaped, they tasted great. Then, in the evening, my whole family sat in the yard, eating mooncakes and fresh fruits while admiring the bright, round moon. I felt so happy that day. Everything was fun, especially sharing laughter with my family under the moon. It made me realize how warm family time is, which is the best part of the festival. I hope you can come here and experience this wonderful festival. Yours, Liu Wei 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
