第Ⅱ卷 语篇综合训练
(标语篇配有教师讲评课件)
(一)阅读理解
A
The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms.Major Cold, or da han in Chinese, is the last solar term in the annual solar calendar.Here are some things about Major Cold.
Cold current
During Major Cold, as the cold current moves southward, the weather is often cold to the extreme.Though the related data in China show that the lowest temperature in a year is usually recorded during the Major Cold period, it may not be as cold as Minor Cold in most areas on the whole since spring is approaching.
Dispelling (驱散) cold
During Major Cold, the freezing weather has a big influence on Chinese people's lives.Rather than take up outdoor activities, people tend to reduce movements and choose to stay at home to keep fit in various ways.For example, to stay warm, people in Beijing have a habit of eating dispelling cold cake, a kind of rice cake that is thought good to warm and nourish the body.Besides, in Chinese, “rice cake” has the same pronunciation with the words “higher in a new year”, which symbolizes good luck and continual promotion.For another example, residents in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province like to drink nourishing chicken soup during Major Cold.
The ending and the beginning
Major Cold often coincides with the end of the year, so the folk customs of this period have an added sense of farewell to the old and welcoming the new.With the traditional Spring Festival around the corner, people are busy making preparations for it, like stocking up delicacies, sweeping and decorating.The cheerfulness of the reunion adds warmth to the cold winter days.

The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, so it is also known as the Double Ninth Festival.
The festival is held in the golden season of autumn, at harvest time. The bright clear sky and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a happy festival atmosphere. The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities. Climbing a mountain, carrying a spray of dogwood and drinking chrysanthemum wine have become the traditional activities of the festival.
The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance (香气), and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine. People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill in late autumn.So its history as a medicine goes back many centuries. But the custom of carrying a spray of dogwood during the Double Ninth Festival is slowly dying out and many people in the cities do not even know what a dogwood spray looks like.
Early in the Han Dynasty, about 2,000 years ago, people used to climb a high platform outside the capital city of Chang'an on the occasion of the Chongyang Festival. For many, it was the last outing of the year before the onset of winter. The custom evolved (逐步发展) into the present form,when people go climbing to get some exercise as well as enjoy the autumn scenery.
But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain? The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes. The Chinese word for “cake” is “Gao”, a homonym (同音异义字) of the Chinese word for “high”. Mountains are high, so eating cakes can, by a stretch of the imagination, take the place of going for a climb.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国的重阳节及相关的习俗。
4.Why do people carry a spray of dogwood on the Chongyang Festival?

B.Because the dogwood can be used as a Chinese herbal medicine.
C.Because the dogwood has a long history as a medicine.
D.Because people believed the dogwood could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill in late autumn.”可知,人们佩戴茱萸是因为相信它有避邪驱寒的功效。
5.Why do people now climb mountains on the Chongyang Festival?
A.To have a last outing of the year before the onset of winter.
B.To get some dogwoods.
C.To climb a high platform.
D.To get some exercise as well as enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“The custom evolved (逐步发展) into the present form,when people go climbing to get some exercise as well as enjoy the autumn scenery.”可知,重阳节的习俗发展到现在,人们爬山是为了锻炼身体,同时欣赏秋天的风景。
6.Why do people living in plains far from mountains eat cakes?
A.Because the Chinese word for “cake” is “Gao”.
B.Because the Chinese word “Gao” for “cake” has the same sound as the Chinese word for “high”.
C.Because they often take cakes to go for a picnic on the festival.
D.Because they like eating cakes.
