Nowadays, Europeans decorate public places with flowers and fruit, while Chinese families admire the moon and eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Customs in festivals change over time. With modern development, some old traditions disappear and new ones form. For example, many Chinese cities stop lighting Spring Festival firecrackers to prevent air pollution.

So, it’s also called the Eryue’er Festival. In Chinese culture, the dragon is an auspicious (吉利的) animal that dominates clouds and rain. The 2nd day of the 2nd lunar month is thought to be the day when the dragon awakes and raises its head according to the Chinese folk legend. So the day is called Dragon Head-raising Day. After the day, spring is coming and there will be more and more rain. People think this credit (功劳) goes to the dragon. So the day is also called the Spring Dragon Festival. Since the Yuan Dynasty, Chinese people have had the custom of celebrating the Longtaitou Festival. The most popular custom on Dragon Head-raising Day is cutting hair. The dragon is highly honored for its dignity (尊贵) and power for good. It is thought to be auspicious to cut hair on Dragon Head-raising Day. Luck and opportunities will always knock you in the year. So, on that day, barbershops’ (理发店的) business is growing and they are full of customers. The most common food for celebrating the festival is popcorn, pancakes, noodles, dumplings, fried soy beans and the pig’s head meat. People in different areas have different traditions about the food on the day. In Beijing, people eat lvdagunr (glutinous rice rolls with sweet bean flour) and spring pancakes on the day. In Shanxi, people like to eat fried dough twists (麻花) and pancakes. In Shandong, fried soy beans, noodles and dumplings are the festival food. In Fuzhou, the salted porridge made of glutinous rice, celery, scallions, garlic, fried shrimps and shredded meat is eaten. These show people’s hope of being blessed (保佑) with favorable weather and plentiful grain harvest by the dragon. 28. What can we learn about the Longtaitou Festival? A. It is celebrated for two days.

Luck and opportunities will always knock you in the year.(人们认为在龙抬头节理发是吉祥的。在这一年里，运气和机会总会降临)”可知，人们在龙抬头节理发是因为这是他们对运气和机会的期望。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“These show people's hope of being blessed(保佑) with favorable weather and plentiful grain harvest by the dragon.(这些食物表达了人们希望得到龙的庇佑，有好天气和粮食丰收的愿望)”可知，庆祝节日的食物通常承载着人们的美好祝愿。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Longtaitou Festival, which means “the dragon raises its head” in Chinese, is a traditional Chinese festival held on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar.(龙抬头节，在汉语中意为 “龙抬头”，是中国传统节日，在农历二月初二庆祝)”文章围绕龙抬头节展开，介绍了其名称由来、习俗、相关食物等多方面内容，所以A选项“The Longtaitou Festival.”(龙抬头节)最适合作为文章标题。 D The city of Dunhuang is located at a point of vital importance, on a crossroads of two major trade routes within the Silk Road network. Lying in grassland at the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, Dunhuang was one of the first trading cities encountered by traders arriving in China from the West. The remarkable Mogao Caves contain the largest storeroom of historic documents along the Silk Road and bear witness to the cultural, religious, social and commercial activities that took place in Dunhuang. The Mogao Caves show not only the religious importance of Dunhuang, but also its significance as a center of cultural and commercial exchange. One of the caves, known as the “library cave”, contains as many as 40,000 scrolls, which are of great value to the understanding of the cultural diversity of this Silk Road city. The earliest text dates back to 405 AD, while the latest 1002 AD. The arrangement of documents in this library cave shows that they were purposely stored there, and it seems likely that the local temples used the cave as a storeroom According to these documents, a large number of imports arrived from as far away as north-east Europe. Interestingly, the scrolls that mention caravans (商队) are usually recorded in Sogdian, Uighur, or Turco-Sogdian, indicating that they were indited by the foreign traders in the city. Dunhuang was not simply a receiver of trade, and it had a very active export market, too. The scrolls refer to a large number of goods produced in the city and sold to foreign traders. Crafts and skills also moved along the Silk Road as traders and craftsmen met and exchanged notes. Some scrolls illustrate the use of woodblock printing in Dunhuang, a technique that originated in China in the early 8th century. Woodblock printing later spread across Asia, as traders passed on the crafts and skills that they had acquired while travelling along the Silk Road. 32. What do we know about Dunhuang? A. It made the Taklamakan Desert well-known. B. It acted as the center of the Silk Road network. C. It moved to its present position due to the Silk Road D. It was one of the first trading cities in China for Westerners. 33. What is the greatest value of the scrolls in the “library cave” according to the text? A. Their long history. B. Their commercial significance. C. The historic exchange they show. D. The cultural diversity they show. 34. What does the underlined word “indited” in Paragraph 3 possibly mean? A. Written. B. Occupied. C. Protected. D. Bought. 35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To explain why Dunhuang is famous. B. To explain what was recorded in the scrolls C. To show the Silk Road is important to knowledge spreading. D. To show woodblock printing was invented by the Chinese. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是敦煌在丝绸之路上的重要地位及其文化、商业和历史价值。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The city of Dunhuang is located at a point of vital importance, on a crossroads of two major trade routes within the Silk Road network. Lying in grassland at the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, Dunhuang was one of the first trading cities encountered by traders arriving in China from the West. (敦煌位于丝绸之路网络中两条主要贸易路线的交汇点，地理位置十分重要。它位于塔克拉玛干沙漠边缘的草原上，是西方商人进入中国时遇到的第一批贸易城市之一)”可知，敦煌是西方商人进入中国时最早接触的贸易城市之一。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One of the caves, known as the “library cave”, contains as many as 40,000 scrolls, which are of great value to the understanding of the cultural diversity of this Silk Road city. (其中一个洞穴被称为“藏经洞”，里面藏有多达4万卷文献，这些文献对于理解这座丝绸之路上的城市的文化多样性具有重要价值)”可知，“藏经洞”中的卷轴对了解敦煌的文化多样性具有重要价值，由此可知，这些文献的最大价值在于它们展示了文化的多样性。故选D项。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Interestingly, the scrolls that mention caravans (商队) are usually recorded in Sogdian, Uighur, or Turco-Sogdian,(有趣的是，提到商队的文献通常用粟特语、维吾尔语或突厥-粟特语记录)”可知，商队的文献是由外国商人用特定语言书写的，由此可知，划线单词的意思与“书写”意义相近。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Crafts and skills also moved along the Silk Road as traders and craftsmen met and exchanged notes. Some scrolls illustrate the use of woodblock printing in Dunhuang, a technique that originated in China in the early 8th century. Woodblock printing later spread across Asia, as traders passed on the crafts and skills that they had acquired while travelling along the Silk Road.(随着商人和手工艺人相聚并交流心得，各种手工艺和技艺也沿着丝绸之路传播开来。一些画卷展示了敦煌地区雕版印刷术的应用情况，这是一种在公元8世纪早期起源于中国的技术。后来，随着商人们传播他们在沿着丝绸之路旅行时所学到的手工艺和技艺，雕版印刷术也随之传遍了亚洲)”可推知，通过描述丝绸之路沿线的技艺传播，特别是雕版印刷术的传播，最后一段的目的是展示丝绸之路对知识传播的重要性。故选C项。 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。 On the fourth Thursday of November every year, families in the US get together to celebrate Thanksgiving Day.

Then Dad came in. Ali and Mano cried out together, “Happy Father’s Day!” Hearing the words, so glad was Dad that his face lit up. “We have a surprise for you!” added Ali, pointing at the decorations. When he saw the dinner, his eyes widened and twinkled with excitement. He couldn’t help tasting a bit of chick soup, explaining that it was the best dish he had ever had.

The most iconic attraction in Xi’an is the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, a collection of life-sized statues that guards the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

C The Longtaitou Festival, which means “the dragon raises its head” in Chinese, is a traditional Chinese festival held on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. So, it’s also called the Eryue’er Festival. In Chinese culture, the dragon is an auspicious (吉利的) animal that dominates clouds and rain. The 2nd day of the 2nd lunar month is thought to be the day when the dragon awakes and raises its head according to the Chinese folk legend. So the day is called Dragon Head-raising Day. After the day, spring is coming and there will be more and more rain. People think this credit (功劳) goes to the dragon. So the day is also called the Spring Dragon Festival. Since the Yuan Dynasty, Chinese people have had the custom of celebrating the Longtaitou Festival. The most popular custom on Dragon Head-raising Day is cutting hair. The dragon is highly honored for its dignity (尊贵) and power for good. It is thought to be auspicious to cut hair on Dragon Head-raising Day. Luck and opportunities will always knock you in the year. So, on that day, barbershops’ (理发店的) business is growing and they are full of customers. The most common food for celebrating the festival is popcorn, pancakes, noodles, dumplings, fried soy beans and the pig’s head meat. People in different areas have different traditions about the food on the day. In Beijing, people eat lvdagunr (glutinous rice rolls with sweet bean flour) and spring pancakes on the day. In Shanxi, people like to eat fried dough twists (麻花) and pancakes. In Shandong, fried soy beans, noodles and dumplings are the festival food. In Fuzhou, the salted porridge made of glutinous rice, celery, scallions, garlic, fried shrimps and shredded meat is eaten. These show people’s hope of being blessed (保佑) with favorable weather and plentiful grain harvest by the dragon. 28. What can we learn about the Longtaitou Festival? A. It is celebrated for two days.

D The city of Dunhuang is located at a point of vital importance, on a crossroads of two major trade routes within the Silk Road network. Lying in grassland at the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, Dunhuang was one of the first trading cities encountered by traders arriving in China from the West. The remarkable Mogao Caves contain the largest storeroom of historic documents along the Silk Road and bear witness to the cultural, religious, social and commercial activities that took place in Dunhuang. The Mogao Caves show not only the religious importance of Dunhuang, but also its significance as a center of cultural and commercial exchange. One of the caves, known as the “library cave”, contains as many as 40,000 scrolls, which are of great value to the understanding of the cultural diversity of this Silk Road city. The earliest text dates back to 405 AD, while the latest 1002 AD. The arrangement of documents in this library cave shows that they were purposely stored there, and it seems likely that the local temples used the cave as a storeroom According to these documents, a large number of imports arrived from as far away as north-east Europe. Interestingly, the scrolls that mention caravans (商队) are usually recorded in Sogdian, Uighur, or Turco-Sogdian, indicating that they were indited by the foreign traders in the city. Dunhuang was not simply a receiver of trade, and it had a very active export market, too. The scrolls refer to a large number of goods produced in the city and sold to foreign traders. Crafts and skills also moved along the Silk Road as traders and craftsmen met and exchanged notes. Some scrolls illustrate the use of woodblock printing in Dunhuang, a technique that originated in China in the early 8th century. Woodblock printing later spread across Asia, as traders passed on the crafts and skills that they had acquired while travelling along the Silk Road. 32. What do we know about Dunhuang? A.
