The English Club at Sunshine Vocational School is planning a Mid-Autumn Festival Evening for foreign teachers and first-year students. The activity will be held in the school dining hall from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. next Friday. It is not only a party with food, but also a small class about Chinese culture. Before the evening, each group must prepare a short introduction in English. The introduction should include the date of the festival, the meaning of the full moon, and one typical activity.
The teacher reminds students not to translate every Chinese word directly. They should use clear sentences, such as 'The full moon is a symbol of family reunion' and 'People share moon cakes to express good wishes.' During the activity, students will invite foreign teachers to taste moon cakes, learn a simple festival song and write wishes on small cards. A student named Li Fei is responsible for welcoming guests.
Li Fei plans to explain that different fillings of moon cakes may have different flavors, but the feeling behind them is similar: people miss their families and hope for a bright future. The teacher hopes the evening will help students practise English in a real situation. More importantly, she wants them to understand that introducing a festival is not just listing activities. A good introduction should show the culture behind the activities and help guests feel respected and included.
16. What is the main purpose of the Mid-Autumn Festival Evening?
A. To sell moon cakes to foreign teachers. B. To hold a singing competition only.
C. To introduce Chinese festival culture in English. D. To ask students to translate a textbook.
17. What must each group include in its introduction?
A. The price of moon cakes. B. The date, meaning and a typical activity of the festival.
C. The names of all foreign teachers. D. The history of the school dining hall.
18. Why should students avoid translating every Chinese word directly?
A. Because foreign teachers dislike Chinese culture.
B. Because direct translation is always shorter.
C. Because the activity does not allow Chinese words.
D. Because clear English expressions help communication.
19. What can be inferred from Li Fei's explanation of moon cakes?
A. Festival food can carry feelings and wishes. B. All moon cakes have the same filling.
C. Students should eat moon cakes before guests arrive. D. Foreign teachers cannot understand Chinese food.
20. Which sentence best summarizes the teacher's idea?
A. Festival activities should be kept secret. B. A good introduction should only list dates.
C. Festival introduction should show culture and respect. D. English practice is less important than eating.

Every year before the Spring Festival, the students in Class 2 visit a local community center. They do not go there only to perform songs. Their main task is to help the center prepare an exhibition called 'New Year Customs in My Hometown'. The exhibition shows how families in different parts of China celebrate the same festival in different ways. This year, the class is divided into four teams.
Team One collects pictures of reunion dinners. They learn that some families in northern China enjoy jiaozi, while some families in southern China prepare fish, rice cakes or local snacks. Team Two writes short English notes for visitors. They use expressions from their textbook, such as decorate homes, express good wishes and family reunion. Team Three interviews older residents about temple fairs, lion dances and flower fairs. Team Four designs a small corner where children can learn to say 'Happy Chinese New Year' in English.
At first, several students thought the work was easy. However, when they began to write English notes, they found it difficult to explain customs clearly. For example, 'ya sui qian' should not be simply written as 'money for pressing age'. The teacher advised them to explain its meaning: money given to children as a wish for safety and growth in the new year. The students then understood that a good cultural introduction should be accurate and friendly.
21. What is the main task of Class 2 at the community center?
A. To sell local snacks before the festival. B. To help prepare an exhibition about Spring Festival customs.
C. To teach older residents to sing English songs. D. To invite foreign visitors to a restaurant.
22. Which team needs to use textbook expressions most directly?

23. Why does the teacher mention 'ya sui qian'?
A. To show cultural words need clear explanations.
B. To ask students to avoid all Chinese customs.
C. To prove literal translation is always correct.
D. To tell students not to write English notes.
24. What does the exhibition mainly show?
A. Only one way of celebrating the Spring Festival.
B. Different local customs for the same festival.
C. The school history of Class 2.
D. Foreign visitors' family stories.
25. What do the students learn from writing notes?
A. Copying Chinese words is enough. B. Accurate and friendly explanation matters.
C. Visitors do not read English notes. D. Local customs should not be introduced.
【答案】21.B 22.C 23.A 24.B 25.B

C
Festivals are often remembered through food, music and colorful decorations, but they also teach people how to understand one another. When we learn about a festival from another culture, we should first ask what the festival means to the people who celebrate it. Without this question, we may only notice the most exciting activities and miss the deeper value.
Take Songkran in Thailand as an example. Many visitors first remember the playful water splashing in the streets. It looks like a big water game. However, Songkran is the traditional New Year's celebration in Thailand. The water is connected with washing away bad luck and welcoming a new life of good luck. If visitors only call it a water fight, they may sound careless.
The same idea works when foreigners learn about Chinese festivals. The Spring Festival is not just fireworks, red decorations or a long holiday. It is a time for family reunion and best wishes. The Lantern Festival is not just beautiful lights. Lantern riddles, tangyuan and family unity all carry cultural meanings. When students introduce these festivals in English, they should choose simple but accurate words.
26. What should people first ask when learning about another culture's festival?
A. How much money the festival costs. B. Which activity is the loudest.
C. Whether the festival is better than theirs. D. What the festival means to local people.
27. Why may calling Songkran simply a 'water fight' sound careless?
A. It misses the meaning of washing away bad luck. B. It is not held in Thailand.
C. It has no playful activities. D. It is only a Chinese festival.
28. Which expression is recommended for introducing tangyuan?
A. Tangyuan is only a sweet snack. B. Tangyuan means a difficult English word.
C. Tangyuan is a symbol of family unity. D. Tangyuan is eaten because lanterns are bright.
29. What does the word 'accurate' most nearly mean in the passage?
A. Long and difficult. B. Correct and clear.
C. Funny and modern. D. Short but careless.
30. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Festival Games Around the World. B. How to Make Festival Food.
C. Why Students Need Long Holidays. D. Understanding the Meanings Behind Festivals.
【答案】26.D 27.A 28.C 29.B 30.D
【导语】本文是一篇文化说明文,强调学习和介绍节日时不能只看活动表面,还要理解其文化意义。
【详解】
26. 本题为细节理解题。根据第1段“ask what the festival means to the people who celebrate it”可知,应先了解节日意义。
27. 本题为推理判断题。根据第2段“washing away bad luck and welcoming a new life”可知,只说 water fight 会忽视文化意义。
28. 本题为细节理解题。根据第3段 tangyuan and family unity 可知,C项正确。
29. 本题为词义猜测题。根据语境“simple but accurate words”和避免奇怪直译可知,accurate 意为“准确清楚的”。
30. 本题为标题归纳题。全文围绕理解节日背后的意义展开,D项最恰当。

Robert Jones is a foreign student at a Chinese vocational school. When he first came to China, he knew only a few Chinese festivals from pictures: red lanterns, dragon boats and moon cakes. He thought festivals were mainly about special food and exciting activities. After spending one year with his Chinese classmates, his idea changed.
His first experience was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Li Fei invited him to her home for dinner. Before the meal, Li Fei's grandfather told him that the round moon and round moon cakes both reminded people of reunion. Robert did not understand every Chinese word, but he understood the warm feeling when all family members sat around the table.
During the Spring Festival, Robert joined a class activity in which students introduced local customs. Some students talked about temple fairs and handicrafts; others described lion dances, flower fairs and reunion dinners. Robert noticed that customs were different from place to place, but the wishes were similar. People hoped for health, happiness and a good beginning. At the end of the school year, Robert prepared an invitation email for a Christmas party and explained why decorating a Christmas tree was meaningful to his family.

33. 本题为推理判断题。根据第3段“customs were different... but the wishes were similar”可知,不同习俗承载相似祝福。
34. 本题为推理判断题。Robert解释圣诞树意义,是为了像介绍中国节日一样分享自己的文化。
35. 本题为主旨大意题。全文说明分享节日应介绍自身传统并尊重他人传统。

The English Club at Sunshine Vocational School is planning a Mid-Autumn Festival Evening for foreign teachers and first-year students. The activity will be held in the school dining hall from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. next Friday. It is not only a party with food, but also a small class about Chinese culture. Before the evening, each group must prepare a short introduction in English. The introduction should include the date of the festival, the meaning of the full moon, and one typical activity.
The teacher reminds students not to translate every Chinese word directly. They should use clear sentences, such as 'The full moon is a symbol of family reunion' and 'People share moon cakes to express good wishes.' During the activity, students will invite foreign teachers to taste moon cakes, learn a simple festival song and write wishes on small cards. A student named Li Fei is responsible for welcoming guests.
Li Fei plans to explain that different fillings of moon cakes may have different flavors, but the feeling behind them is similar: people miss their families and hope for a bright future. The teacher hopes the evening will help students practise English in a real situation. More importantly, she wants them to understand that introducing a festival is not just listing activities. A good introduction should show the culture behind the activities and help guests feel respected and included.
16. What is the main purpose of the Mid-Autumn Festival Evening?
A. To sell moon cakes to foreign teachers. B. To hold a singing competition only.
C. To introduce Chinese festival culture in English. D. To ask students to translate a textbook.
17. What must each group include in its introduction?
A. The price of moon cakes. B. The date, meaning and a typical activity of the festival.
C. The names of all foreign teachers. D. The history of the school dining hall.
18. Why should students avoid translating every Chinese word directly?
A. Because foreign teachers dislike Chinese culture.
B. Because direct translation is always shorter.
C. Because the activity does not allow Chinese words.
D. Because clear English expressions help communication.
19. What can be inferred from Li Fei's explanation of moon cakes?
A. Festival food can carry feelings and wishes. B. All moon cakes have the same filling.
C. Students should eat moon cakes before guests arrive. D. Foreign teachers cannot understand Chinese food.
20. Which sentence best summarizes the teacher's idea?
A. Festival activities should be kept secret. B. A good introduction should only list dates.

B
Every year before the Spring Festival, the students in Class 2 visit a local community center. They do not go there only to perform songs. Their main task is to help the center prepare an exhibition called 'New Year Customs in My Hometown'. The exhibition shows how families in different parts of China celebrate the same festival in different ways. This year, the class is divided into four teams.
Team One collects pictures of reunion dinners. They learn that some families in northern China enjoy jiaozi, while some families in southern China prepare fish, rice cakes or local snacks. Team Two writes short English notes for visitors. They use expressions from their textbook, such as decorate homes, express good wishes and family reunion. Team Three interviews older residents about temple fairs, lion dances and flower fairs. Team Four designs a small corner where children can learn to say 'Happy Chinese New Year' in English.
At first, several students thought the work was easy. However, when they began to write English notes, they found it difficult to explain customs clearly. For example, 'ya sui qian' should not be simply written as 'money for pressing age'. The teacher advised them to explain its meaning: money given to children as a wish for safety and growth in the new year. The students then understood that a good cultural introduction should be accurate and friendly.
21. What is the main task of Class 2 at the community center?
A. To sell local snacks before the festival. B. To help prepare an exhibition about Spring Festival customs.
C. To teach older residents to sing English songs. D. To invite foreign visitors to a restaurant.

23. Why does the teacher mention 'ya sui qian'?
A. To show cultural words need clear explanations.
B. To ask students to avoid all Chinese customs.
C. To prove literal translation is always correct.
D. To tell students not to write English notes.
24. What does the exhibition mainly show?
A. Only one way of celebrating the Spring Festival.
B. Different local customs for the same festival.
C. The school history of Class 2.
D. Foreign visitors' family stories.
25. What do the students learn from writing notes?
A. Copying Chinese words is enough. B. Accurate and friendly explanation matters.
C. Visitors do not read English notes. D. Local customs should not be introduced.
C
Festivals are often remembered through food, music and colorful decorations, but they also teach people how to understand one another. When we learn about a festival from another culture, we should first ask what the festival means to the people who celebrate it. Without this question, we may only notice the most exciting activities and miss the deeper value.
Take Songkran in Thailand as an example. Many visitors first remember the playful water splashing in the streets. It looks like a big water game. However, Songkran is the traditional New Year's celebration in Thailand. The water is connected with washing away bad luck and welcoming a new life of good luck. If visitors only call it a water fight, they may sound careless.
The same idea works when foreigners learn about Chinese festivals. The Spring Festival is not just fireworks, red decorations or a long holiday. It is a time for family reunion and best wishes. The Lantern Festival is not just beautiful lights. Lantern riddles, tangyuan and family unity all carry cultural meanings. When students introduce these festivals in English, they should choose simple but accurate words.
26. What should people first ask when learning about another culture's festival?
A. How much money the festival costs. B. Which activity is the loudest.
C. Whether the festival is better than theirs. D. What the festival means to local people.
27. Why may calling Songkran simply a 'water fight' sound careless?
A. It misses the meaning of washing away bad luck. B. It is not held in Thailand.
C. It has no playful activities. D. It is only a Chinese festival.
28. Which expression is recommended for introducing tangyuan?
A. Tangyuan is only a sweet snack. B. Tangyuan means a difficult English word.
C. Tangyuan is a symbol of family unity. D. Tangyuan is eaten because lanterns are bright.
29. What does the word 'accurate' most nearly mean in the passage?
A. Long and difficult. B. Correct and clear.
C. Funny and modern. D. Short but careless.
30. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Festival Games Around the World. B. How to Make Festival Food.
C. Why Students Need Long Holidays. D. Understanding the Meanings Behind Festivals.
D
