In China, the 12th month of the lunar calendar is called La Yue. 1 After the festival, people begin to get ready for the Spring Festival. The Laba Festival 2023 falls on Wednesday, January 18th, 2024. 2 To make the porridge nice, people often cook it with eight different things. So the porridge is also called Eight Treasure Porridge. Traditionally, there is rice, red dates, various beans, dried lotus seeds (干莲子), and different kinds of dried fruits in it. 3 At midnight, people begin to cook the porridge. After hours of boiling, we can have it the next morning. 4 Eating Laba porridge on Laba Festival is still an important custom now.

F．Chinese people celebrate Laba Festival on the eighth day of the month. 长难句解析 原句：（最后一段第二句）Most people like having the porridge because it is not only good for health, but also a blessing (祝福) for the coming of the Spring Festival. 译文：大多数人喜欢喝粥，因为它不仅对健康有益，而且也是迎接春节的一种祝福。 分析：整句为“主句 + 原因状语从句”的复合句。从句中通过并列连词（not only...but also...） 连接两个表语，形成递进逻辑，既说明粥的健康价值，又强调其文化寓意。 译文 现在是享受冬季特别温暖的粥的时候了！在中国，农历的十二月被称为腊月。中国人在该月的第八天庆祝腊八节。节日过后，人们开始为春节做准备。 2023年的腊八节落在2024年1月18日星期三。这一天，人们通常会吃腊八粥。为了使粥美味，人们常常用八种不同的食材来煮它。因此，这种粥也被称为八宝粥。传统上，粥里有米饭、红枣、各种豆类、干莲子和不同种类的干果。但你也可以在粥里放你喜欢的其他东西。午夜时分，人们开始煮粥。经过几个小时的熬煮，第二天早上我们就可以享用了。因为它需要花费很多时间来制作，所以味道更加美味。 在腊八节吃腊八粥仍然是一个重要的习俗。大多数人喜欢喝粥，因为它不仅对健康有益，而且是对即将到来的春节的一种祝福。你的家庭今年准备好做粥了吗？如果没有，现在就开始准备吧！与家人分享粥是世界上最幸福的事情！ Passage B（春节的庆祝活动） （24-25九年级上·江苏泰州·期末） The UNESCO added “Spring Festival, social practices of the Chinese people in celebration of the traditional New Year” to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录) on December 4, 2024. ① The Spring Festival, also called Chinese New Year, is one of the most important festivals practiced in China and around the world.

Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 1．Which of the following poets could probably enjoy Zigong lanterns? A．Cao Cao. B．Li Bai. C．Tao Yuanming.
