The Danu Festival,also known as the Ancestral Mother Festival or the Yao New Year,is one of the grandest traditional festivals of the Yao ethnic group. It is scheduled for the 29th of the fifth lunar month. However, the Yao people don't celebrate this festival annually. They only hold the festival once in two or three, or even five years.
Before the Danu Festival, all the Yao families will clean up their houses, prepare sticky rice cakes and rice wine and slaughter (屠宰) pigs and lambs to entertain their relatives and friends with lavish food and dishes. On the festival day, they will gather at the village common ground, singing, dancing, beating copper drums, blowing suona horn, performing martial arts and playing ball games.
There is a widely spreading legend that tells about the origin of this festival. In the far ancient time, there were two great magic mountains, one called Buluoxi and the other called Miluotuo, facing each other. Every year they became a little bit closer. So after 995 years, the two mountains were actually approaching each other. On the29th of the fifth lunar month of this year, a deafening thunderbolt (霹雳) suddenly struck the earth. Exactly at the same time, the two mountains were cracked. A man called Buluoxi came out from the mountain Buluoxi,while a woman called Miluotuo came out from the mountain sharing the same name. They married and gave birth to three daughters.
When Miluotuo was aged, her eldest daughter,carrying ploughs and harrows, settled down in plains and lived on cultivation. Her offspring are the Han people. The second-eldest daughter left with a burden of books and her children fostered the Zhuang ethnic group. * The youngest daughter, who became the ancestor of the Yao nationality,took millet and hoes(锄头) and planted different kinds of crops inside mountains.
Since then, on every 29th of the fifth lunar month,the birthday of Miluotuo, the three daughters carried lavish gifts and came back home to join their mother and celebrate harvest. This finally evolves into a festival celebrated by the Yao people.

Passage 1阅读理解A
达努节起源于一个美丽的传说。根据传说,农历五月二十九日是瑶族祖先的生日。因此达努节的庆祝日期是农历五月二十九日,每两三年甚至五年才举行一次,是瑶族最盛大的传统节日之一。
1. D 推理判断题。根据第二段首句… all the Yao families will clean up… prepare sticky rice cakes and rice wine and slaughter pigs and lambs to entertain their relatives and friends with lavish food and dishes.可知, 达努节来临之际,人们打扫房屋、准备米糕和米酒、杀猪宰羊,用丰盛的饭菜招待亲戚朋友。由此可推出,瑶族人对待客人是热情的。
2. A写作方式题。根据第三段、第四段所述可知,作者通过讲述一个传说故事介绍了达努节的起源。
3. C 词义猜测题。根据 ploughs and harrows以及 settled down in plains and lived on cultivation 可知, 密洛陀的大女儿携带犁和某种工具,来到平原地带从事农耕生产。由此推测, harrows指的是用于耕作的工具。
4. A主旨大意题。通读文章可知,本文前半部分重点介绍了达努节的庆祝方式,如在达努节来临前,瑶族家庭会打扫房屋、准备美食,节日当天人们会聚集在一起唱歌、跳舞等;后半部分则通过一个传说讲述了达努节的起源,故A 项最适合作为标题。
难句分析
The youngest daughter, who became the ancestor of the Yao nationality, took millet and hoes and planted different kinds of crops inside mountains. 最小的女儿带着小米和锄头,在山中种植各种庄稼,她成了瑶族的祖先。
who 引导非限制性定语从句, 修饰 the youngest daughter, 补充说明她的身份。
参考译文:
达努节,又称祖娘节或瑶族新年,是瑶族最盛大的传统节日之一。它定在农历五月二十九。然而,瑶族人并非每年都庆祝这个节日。他们每隔两三年,甚至五年才会举行一次庆祝。
在达努节前,瑶族家家户户都会打扫房屋,准备糯米糕和米酒,并杀猪宰羊,用丰盛的食物招待亲朋好友。在节日当天,他们会聚集在村子的公共场地上,唱歌、跳舞、敲铜鼓、吹唢呐、表演武术和玩球类游戏。
有一个广为流传的传说讲述了达努节的起源。在远古时期,有两座神奇的巨山,一座叫布洛西,另一座叫密洛陀,两山相对而立。每年,它们都会靠近一点。经过995年后,两座山几乎快要相撞了。在那年农历五月二十九日,一声震耳欲聋的霹雳突然击中了大地。就在那时,两座山裂开了。一个名叫布洛西的男子从布洛西山中出现,而一个名叫密洛陀的女子从同名山中走出。他们结婚并生下了三个女儿。
当密洛陀年老时,她的大女儿带着犁和耙,定居在平原上,以耕种为生。她的后代成了汉族人。二女儿带着一担书离开,她的子孙成了壮族。最小的女儿带着小米和锄头,在山中种植各种庄稼,她成了瑶族的祖先。
从那时起,每年农历五月二十九日,也就是密洛陀的生日,三个女儿都会带着丰厚的礼物回家与母亲团聚,庆祝丰收。这一传统最终演变成了瑶族人庆祝的一个节日。

难句分析
★ In search of a means of driving out the demons, the villagers hit on the idea that if they painted themselves with pot soot it would make them look ugly to the invaders and cause them to give up their conquest and go away.为了找到驱赶恶魔的办法,村民们想出一个主意:如果用锅底灰涂脸,在入侵者眼中他们就会显得很丑陋,这样恶魔就会放弃掳掠并离开。
that引导同位语从句, if引导条件状语从句。 drive out意为“驱赶;驱除”。
参考答案:
文山壮族苗族自治州丘北县的花脸节,是当地撒尼文人(彝族的一个分支)的一项千年传统。它每年吸引成千上万名参与者热情地参与画脸活动。这个节日的名字来源于人们用锅灰将脸涂黑的习俗,这一做法被认为可以驱赶邪灵。
这是一个为期一个月的庆祝活动,在农历二月举行,旨在纪念彝族的历史和文化遗产。该庆祝活动以多种形式展示彝族文化,包括当地彝族人身穿传统服饰、载歌载舞,以及标志性的活动——人们将用锅灰制成的黑色颜料互相涂抹在脸上和身上。
按照传统,彝族祖先用锅底灰涂抹脸部以驱魔辟邪。有一个古老的传说称,曾经有恶魔入侵村庄,企图掳走彝族姑娘。为了找到驱赶恶魔的办法,村民们想出一个主意:如果用锅底灰涂脸,在入侵者眼中他们就会显得很丑陋,这样恶魔就会放弃掳掠并离开。据传说,这个办法奏效了,恶魔被赶走了。
从那以后,为了纪念这一重大事件,彝族人民每年都会举办花脸节,并将其视为驱除不祥和庆祝幸福的时刻。如今,人们用现代的方式来诠释它。他们不再说这是为了驱赶恶魔,而是说互相涂抹是为了祝愿彼此健康、幸福和好运,并表达情感。对于年轻人来说,涂抹脸是一种表达爱意的方式。而对于游客而言,这是结识彝族人的绝佳途径。
花脸节是彝族独有的传统节日,其历史可以追溯到一千多年前。在花脸节期间,成千上万的人用锅底灰互相涂抹脸部以表达美好的祝愿。

在除夕之夜,拉祜族的家家户户都会吃糯米糕。他们围坐在一起享用美食。盛宴过后,他们会给牲畜喂一些年夜饭。妇女们会把煮熟的糯米贴在锄头、砍刀等工具上,以此表达对这些工具在过去一年里辛勤劳作的犒赏,并鼓励它们在新的一年继续发挥作用。
在节日的第一天,雄鸡初啼时,男孩女孩们就急忙赶到泉边去取新水。拉祜族人认为新年伊始的水是最新鲜、最纯净的。它会使人们免遭灾难,帮助他们过上幸福的生活。第一个取到新水的人被视为最幸福的人。
取到新水后,人们用它来祭拜祖先,然后让长辈洗漱。长辈会向年轻人吟诵祝福语,鼓励他们努力工作。之后,人们涌向由村民选出的村主任家,依次向村主任磕头,然后相互拜年。他们围坐在火炉旁,一边喝着茶和酒,一边唱着传统的节日歌曲。晚上,人们聚集在村子中心,整夜跳舞唱歌。在村子的空地上,孩子们玩陀螺,妇女们寻觅爱情。从正月初二开始,人们带着年糕、和酒等礼物走亲访友。

参考答案:
本文介绍了世界各国举办庆祝端午节活动,体验传统中国文化的情况。
1. whose 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,这里需要一个关系词来引导定语从句,修饰先行词 holiday,且在从句中作定语, 修饰 origins, 因此填 whose。
2. varying 考查非谓语动词。此处考查“with+宾语+宾语补足语”结构, 其中宾语 festivities与 vary之间是主动关系,即“庆祝活动在不同地区各不相同”,因此用现在分词 varying,作宾语补足语。
3. wrapped 考查非谓语动词。此处考查“with+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,其中 zongzi与 wrap之间是被动关系,即“粽子被包裹”,因此用过去分词 wrapped,作宾语补足语。
4. Besides 考查介词。结合语境可知,这里讲述除了亚洲国家,美国、加拿大以及像德国这样的欧洲国家也庆祝端午节。besides意为“除了……还有”,符合语境。
5. mainly 考查副词。这里是修饰介词短语 with dragon boat races,表明这些国家庆祝端午节主要是通过龙舟赛的方式,因此填 main的副词形式 mainly,意为“主要是”。
6. activities 考查名词。 activity为可数名词,根据前文的 various可知,这里表示多种文化活动,故用其复数形式 activities。
7. was introduced 考查时态语态。 introduce处于谓语的位置, 句子主语 the tradition与 introduce 之间是被动关系, 即“传统被引入”, 且时间状语是 over 30 years ago, 所以用一般过去时的被动语态 was introduced。
8. The 考查冠词。 event在此处指前面的 the Dragon Boat Festival, 故用定冠词 the 表特指。
9. and 考查连词。此处需要一个连词连接 athleticism和 teamwork,表示并列关系,说明龙舟赛不只是对竞技精神的展示,也是对团队合作的展示,故填 and。
10. massive 考查形容词。 following在文中意为“追随者”, international following为名词短语, 需要形容词修饰。mass的形容词形式为 massive,意为“大量的;大规模的”,符合语境。

龙舟节,又称端午节,是一个中国传统节日,起源于战国时期。
端午节有许多庆祝活动和传统,全国各地的庆祝方式各不相同,其中用粽叶包粽子和赛龙舟是节日中最具特色和代表性的两个元素。
除了亚洲国家,美国、加拿大以及德国等欧洲国家也庆祝端午节,主要庆祝方式为赛龙舟。这一传统活动在美国已发展成为一项受欢迎的运动,全国有400多支专业龙舟队。
随着华人社区的蓬勃发展,加拿大的多伦多和温哥华以其一年一度的龙舟节而闻名。除了竞技比赛,这个节日还包括音乐会等各类文化活动,它已成为城市社交日程中的一项盛大活动,每年都吸引着当地人和游客纷至沓来。
在欧洲,这一传统在30多年前被引入德国。1989年,首届龙舟节在汉堡正式举办,以纪念该市港口建港800周年。随后,这项活动于1991年迁至法兰克福,并被命名为法兰克福国际龙舟节。
龙舟赛不仅仅是竞技精神与团队协作的展示,它有着超过2500年的历史传承,如今在国际上拥有大批追随者,还催生了众多相关协会与俱乐部。
