Eating hotpot During Minor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather.Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton with soy sauce.But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health problems. Eating huangyacai In Tianjin, there is a custom to have huangyacai, a kind of Chinese cabbage, during Minor Cold.There are large amounts of vitamins A and B in huangyacai.As huangyacai is fresh and tender, it is fit for frying, roasting and braising. Eating glutinous rice (糯米饭) According to tradition, the Cantonese eat glutinous rice in the morning during Minor Cold.Cantonese people add some fried preserved pork, sausages and peanuts and mix them into the rice. Eating vegetable rice In ancient times, people in Nanjing took Minor Cold quite seriously, but as time went by, the celebration of Minor Cold gradually disappeared.However, the custom of eating vegetable rice is still followed today.The rice is steamed and is unspeakably delicious.Among the ingredients (原料), aijiaohuang (a kind of green vegetable), sausages and salted duck are the specialties in Nanjing. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在中国的不同地区与小寒节气有关的习俗。 1．What do we know about Minor Cold？ A．It refers to the Winter Solstice.

Wanting to make our guest feel cared for and valued, we showed interest in her life by asking questions to get to know her better.We chatted about hobbies, work and family.When we landed on the topic of holidays, she turned the question on us.“So how do you all celebrate Christmas？” she asked.My husband, our daughter and I waited and looked at one another for a moment. For some, this question is easy to answer.Their family has traditions they follow year after year.For others, it is more go-with-the-flow.As we pondered which details to share, my daughter spoke first，“For some, Christmas is only about their family.But for us, you never know who will be at our Christmas dinner.We invite in those who might not have a place to celebrate, asking them to join us.” My eyes became wet with tears as I listened to our girl.I hadn't really noticed what she had seen as our normal.The way I saw it, inviting someone who needed a family on Christmas day was a natural thing for us.But as I look back, I see it has, in fact, become our holiday tradition.Giving a person a home for the holiday brings my heart joy. Christmas isn't naturally a happy holiday for all.I remember that first Christmas without my dad.He died when I was five, and that first year was painful, an emptiness filling the room without his quiet presence with us. For those whose family lives are less than what they want, the holidays can be a very hard time.If this is you, take a few moments to talk to someone and share how you are feeling today. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一家庆祝圣诞节的方式及圣诞节对作者的意义。 4．Why did the author mention the girl's question？ A．To express the girl's interest in holidays.

C．Considered. D．Emphasized. 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“My husband, our daughter and I waited and looked at one another for a moment.”再结合画线词后的宾语从句“which details to share”可知，作者他们听到问题后并没有立刻回答，在经过思考之后才分享了一些细节。由此可推知，画线词“pondered”的意思是“思考”。 6．How did the author react to her daughter's words？ A．She was moved to tears. B．She took pride in her daughter. C．She didn't agree with her daughter. D．She felt she had misunderstood her daughter before. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“My eyes became wet with tears as I listened to our girl.”可知，当作者听女儿的讲话时，十分感动并且流下了泪水。 7．What can be learned about the author as a child？ A．She had no one to share her feelings with.

China now has 44 items on the intangible cultural heritage list of the UNESCO, continuing to be the most enlisted country in the world. As a signature part of Chinese culture, the Spring Festival, also called Chinese New Year, is one of the most important festivals practiced in China and around the world. The listing of the Spring Festival as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity is an acknowledgment of not only its Chinese roots but also the ideas it carries that connect all humanity. Celebrations for the Spring Festival last for 15 days, ending with the Lantern Festival, to give full play to family gatherings, feasts, and various cultural activities. It starts at the dining table in every household. Spring Festival food traditions contribute a great deal to the culture of Chinese cuisine. From dumplings to sticky rice cakes, and geographically from north to the south, all dishes carry the best blessings for people's loved ones during the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival incorporates a comprehensive range of intangible cultural heritages at various levels. It is a festival filled with folk tales and the traditions based on them. The fireworks and the red decorations in front of many homes and businesses were originally intended to scare away the beast called nian (year), a mythical beast thought to have preyed on people and livestock at the turn of the year. The monster, however, was afraid of loud bangs and the color red. Today, during the Spring Festival, people carry on the tradition of hanging red lanterns, setting off fireworks and fixing red scrolls with rhyming phrases on their doors in the hope that these can ward off evil spirits and attract good luck. 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了中国春节被联合国教科文组织列入人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录的意义，以及春节的传统习俗和文化内涵。 8．According to the text, what is the significance of the Spring Festival being added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity？ A．It makes the Spring Festival more popular. B．It shows the unique charm of Chinese culture. C．It helps to promote economic development more rapidly. D．It encourages people to celebrate the festival more grandly. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The listing of the Spring Festival as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity is an acknowledgment of not only its Chinese roots but also the ideas it carries that connect all humanity.”可知，春节列入该名录体现了其中国根源，即展示了中国文化的独特魅力。 9．Based on the text, we can infer that the Spring Festival food traditions ________. A．are almost the same all over China B．include dumplings and sticky rice dumplings C．vary from region to region D．have no cultural significance 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“From dumplings to sticky rice cakes, and geographically from north to the south, all dishes carry the best blessings for people's loved ones during the Spring Festival.”可知，春节食物从北到南不同，说明春节食物传统因地区而异。 10．What were fireworks and red decorations originally intended for？ A．To attract tourists. B．To scare away the beast called nian. C．To decorate the city. D．To attract good luck. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The fireworks and the red decorations in front of many homes and businesses were originally intended to scare away the beast called nian (year) ”可知，烟花和红色装饰最初是为了吓跑叫作“年”的野兽。 11．What is the text mainly about？ A．How the Spring Festival became an intangible cultural heritage. B．The celebration activities of the Spring Festival. C．The various traditions and significance of the Spring Festival. D．The changes of the Spring Festival over the years. 解析：选C　主旨大意题。结合第一段和下文内容可知，文章讲述了春节被列入人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录，接着介绍了春节的重要意义、庆祝活动、饮食传统以及一些传统习俗的起源等，全面阐述了春节的各种传统和意义。 D In the Chinese lunar calendar, sanfu refers to the three 10-day periods that are said to be the hottest days of the year, which are called toufu, zhongfu and mofu.Sanfu is usually between mid-July and mid-August. When sanfu is mentioned, people can't stop thinking of sanfutie, which is a bandage (绷带) made of traditional Chinese herbal medicine.Those who have experienced traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) believe that receiving sanfutie during the hottest summer days is effective for coughs.The treatment is based on the TCM principle of yin and yang, which believes the balance of both elements (要素) in the body is important for good health.Sanfutie contains a paste of herbs that are “hot” in nature. Toufu is the first stage of sanfu.When the hot days come, people tend to lose their appetites.As the weather in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, is hot with heavy rainfall in summer, people there eat chicken especially a rooster during toufu. They believe that the rooster is “yang” and can clear the damp (湿气)．There is an old saying that goes “A rooster at the start of sanfu, a healthy body the whole year.” Another favourite food during this stage is jiaozi, which is thought to refresh people's feelings toward food.In fact, jiaozi is an all-time classic with 2,000 years of history. The second stage of sanfu is called zhongfu, which traditionally is a time for eating noodles because it is believed to help people sweat and remove internal heat. When mofu or the third fu arrives, it is still very hot at noon and the sun is very strong.People feel uncomfortable, so they call this period “Autumn Tiger”．During mofu, people, especially those living in North China, customarily eat Chinese egg pancakes. During sanfu time when yang energy is at its prime, it's also beneficial to have food which is “cold” in nature, like watermelon and cucumber, according to Chinese dietary therapy. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国人在三伏天贴三伏贴，并在不同的时间吃不同的食物的风俗习惯。 12．How does sanfutie work to treat coughs？ A．By using a kind of unique bandage. B．By using materials for sweating. C．By stopping the heat from coming into the body. D．By keeping the balance of yin and yang. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The treatment is based on the TCM principle of yin and yang, which believes the balance of both elements in the body is important for good health.”可知，三伏贴的治疗原理是保持阴阳平衡。 13．What does the saying in the third paragraph prove？ A．Sanfu is a good time to sell roosters. B．Meat from a rooster is delicious. C．Eating roosters in sanfu is good for health. D．People who like eating can avoid catching a cold. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段可知，由于长沙天气炎热，夏季降雨量大，人们会在头伏期间吃鸡，尤其是公鸡。他们认为公鸡是“阳”的，可以清除湿气。有一句老话说：“入伏一只鸡，一年好身体”。因此，这个谚语的引用是为了证明在三伏天吃公鸡有利于身体健康。 14．Why do Chinese people eat noodles in zhongfu？ A．To show the hope for a long life. B．To let the heat in the body out. C．To enjoy the family atmosphere. D．To feel the moment of excitement. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第四段“The second stage of sanfu ... it is believed to help people sweat and remove internal heat.”可知，中伏吃面条是为了把身体内的热量释放出来。 15．What's the best title of the text？ A．Customs of Sanfu B．Products Sold in Sanfu C．Ways to Learn About Sanfu D．The Magical Medicine in Sanfu 解析：选A　标题归纳题。根据首段并结合全文可知，本文主要介绍了中国的三伏及其风俗。故A项“三伏的风俗”适合作文章标题。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms.

Technically, I knew I would be away for New Year, but the reality of it didn't really dawn on me before I hit the road.I could just see it: In three days, I would be alone in a hotel room, eating cheap take-out, and feeling very sorry for myself.The thought of it was more than I could bear.I decided to do something.I wrote a post on a social media site: “I'm about to spend New Year alone in Winnipeg, Canada.Does anyone know of a community center hosting a public dinner？” There, I thought, with all the people I knew, someone might have some idea! A friend immediately wrote back, “My friends live outside the city.I'll connect you with them.” So, three days later, I drove to the small town, to spend New Year with strangers.I pulled up in front of a small, lakeside house.A smiling couple waved at me from the front door.I stepped out of the car, a little tired, hungry, and mildly anxious.New Year is a time for family.Would it be okay to join in this private celebration？ As I stepped into Betty and Gary's home, I was immediately greeted with warmth.The wood stove took every bit of coldness out of the air.The smell of food enveloped me like a soft blanket.And the warmth didn't just come from the home or the food.It also came from Betty, Gary, and their guests.We gathered around the table; introductions were made. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Soon I discovered that people there weren't related by blood.__________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ Since that time, Betty and Gary have become my true friends._________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ 参考范文： Soon I discovered that people there weren't related by blood.Instead, we were all connected by something much greater.My anxiety melted away as I was drawn into this circle of friendship.To offer them something，I pulled Betty aside and said, “After the meal, if you like, I'd love to perform a mini-concert as my contribution to the evening.” “You have no idea how much we would love that！”she replied.So, once everyone finished their meal, I began to sing songs with a message of hope and joy.Quickly, an incredible night passed. Since that time, Betty and Gary have become my true friends.I've spent many nights in their sweet house by the lake and enjoyed countless meals with them.I've performed in their house, friends and strangers joining me.I thought I was going to spend the holiday with strangers, but I really didn't, because something special and warm happened when good food was generously shared around a table.Conversations began.Laughter started to flow.Divisions disappeared.Relationships were born.Memories were created. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
