A．To welcome the coming year． B．To show a new year of good luck． C．To avoid the possibility that using a knife might “cut luck”． D．To celebrate different festivals． 解析：细节理解题。根据文中句子“People in China prepare their food ahead of time to avoid the possibility that using a knife during the New Year's time might ‘cut luck’．”可知，是为了避免使用刀，坏了(切断)运气。 (　A　)10．What's the passage mainly about? A．People have different traditional foods to celebrate different festivals． B．The New Year begins from January 10th in Japan． C．In France，Christmas dessert is a cake filled with butter． D．Traditional foods only show a new year of good luck． 解析：主旨大意题。根据文中句子“people have different traditional foods to celebrate different festivals”可知，文章主要是介绍人们用不同的传统食物来庆祝不同的节日。 C There are many stories about the start of Nian．It is said that Nian was a fierce(凶猛的) monster．Usually it stayed deep in the mountains．But in winter，it couldn't find enough food．So it entered villages to eat whatever it could catch．Villagers became frightened and moved away．Later the people found that Nian was afraid of three things—the red colour，the bright fire and the loud noise．After learning this，they thought of how to prevent Nian from entering their villages．Thus，a tradition was established(形成)．People had couplets(对联)，lanterns and fireworks(烟花) for the Spring Festival． Now most people in the countryside still keep these traditional celebrations．However，the people in cities have used new ways to celebrate the Spring Festival．For example，they don't send out so many greeting cards as before．Instead they usually send short text messages to greet friends on mobile phones．And for safety，fireworks were not allowed in some large cities a few years ago，making the cities much quieter than before．It seems that all Chinese traditions are facing new challenges．Maybe when the children of the next generation grow up，they can only learn about Chinese traditions from books． 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 11．What did people think of “Nian” long ago? Nian was a fierce monster． 12．Why do people set off fireworks? Because Nian was afraid of loud noise． 13．How do people usually greet their friends at the Spring Festival now? They usually send short text messages to greet friends on mobile phones． 14．What did people have for the Spring Festival? They had couplets， lanterns and fireworks． 15．Why weren't fireworks allowed in some large cities a few years ago? For safety． Ⅲ．词汇运用(20分) (A)根据句意及首字母或汉语提示完成单词。 1．—How do you usually celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival? —By eating zongzi and watching the dragon­boat races． 2．I'm thirsty ．Please pass me a bottle of water． 3．Her grandmother lives alone (独自)，but she never feels lonely． 4．It's a special (特殊的) present for me． 5．Let's forget the whole (全部的) thing． (B)用括号内所给词的适当形式填空。 6．The soup is very salty (salt)． 7．I enjoyed myself (me) at the party last night． 8．Jenny made a decision (decide) to visit her grandfather after school． 9．There are two knives (knife) and a fork on the table． 10．To cut down air pollution (pollute)，we should walk instead of driving cars． Ⅳ．选词填空(20分) 阅读下面短文，用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文完整、通顺。每词限用一次。 festival，red，spring，lucky，five，without，control，especially，hold，popular According to traditional Chinese customs，2024 is the Year of the Loong or the Year of the Dragon．Chinese dragons are considered as 1．lucky animals． There are some differences between Chinese dragons and Western dragons．First of all，the colour of Chinese dragons is gold or 2．red ．Western dragons are usually black or grey．Secondly，Chinese dragons can fly 3．without wings，while Western dragons need wings．Thirdly，Chinese dragons 4．control water and rain to help people with farming，while Western dragons can breathe fire and hurt villagers． Dragons also play an important role in Chinese 5．festivals ．On the Lantern Festival，people hang bright dragon lanterns to celebrate the coming 6．spring ．The dragon dance has a long history and was a 7．popular activity in the Song Dynasty．Dragon boat races are 8．held on the Dragon Boat Festival．It falls on the 9．fifth day of the fifth lunar month． In the Chinese zodiac(生肖)，the dragon is one of people's favourite animals．When Chinese name new born babies，“Loong” is often chosen，10．especially for boys，as they are expected to be full of energy． Ⅴ．书面表达(20分) 假设你是李华，你的外国笔友汤姆(Tom)对中国文化很感兴趣。这次他写信向你询问中国的传统节日元宵节(the Lantern Festival) 的习俗。请你根据下面的提示，用英语写一封回信。 提示： 1．When is it celebrated? 2．What do people usually do during the festival? 3．What do you think of the festival? 要求： 1．必须包括全部要点，可以适当发挥； 2．70词左右，开头与结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 参考词汇：猜灯谜guess lantern riddles；放鞭炮let off firecrackers Dear Tom， How are you?
