Reading Text
Scene 1
Narrator: One night, an old man came to a village. He saw the local people running away.
Old man: Excuse me, why are you running? What happened?
Villager 1: The monster Nian will come! Last year, it ate many animals. We are all afraid of it.
Old man: Wait! I have a good idea. I can help you!
Villager 2: The monster is very strong. You should run away to the mountains with us!
Old man: No. I will stay alone in the village and face Nian.
Scene 2
Narrator: The old man stayed in the village. Then, at midnight(午夜), the monster came.
Nian: What is that red paper on the doors and windows? I hate the colour red! Why are the windows so bright? I hate bright lights!
Old man: Aha! He looks worried.
Narrator: Then the old man set off fireworks(烟花). Bang! Bang! Bang!
Nian: Oh no! I hate loud noises! No, no!
Scene 3
Narrator: Nian was very afraid and ran back to the sea. The next day, the villagers came back to the village.
Villager 1: I can’t believe it! All our animals are safe!
Villager 2: How did you do it?
Old man: Last night, I pasted red paper on the doors and windows and I also lit many candles(蜡烛). Finally, I set off fireworks. He ran away!
Villagers: Hooray! We are safe!
Narrator: From then on, on New Year’s Eve, people get together to celebrate the coming new year. They paste fu and Spring Festival couplets(春节对联)on their doors and set off fireworks. This is why we also call the Spring Festival guonian.

Full Translation · 全文翻译
Scene 1
旁白: 一天晚上,一位老人来到一个村庄。他看到当地人正在逃跑。
老人: 劳驾,你们为什么跑?发生什么事了?
村民1: 年兽要来了!去年,它吃了许多动物。我们都害怕它。
老人: 等等!我有一个好主意。我可以帮助你们!
村民2: 年兽非常强壮。你应该和我们一起逃到山里去!
老人: 不。我会独自留在村里,面对年兽。
Scene 2
旁白: 老人留在了村里。随后,午夜时分,年兽来了。
年兽: 门窗上的红纸是什么?我讨厌红色!窗户为什么这么亮?我讨厌明亮的光!
老人: 啊哈!它看起来很担心。
旁白: 接着,老人燃放了烟花爆竹。砰!砰!砰!
年兽: 哦,不!我讨厌巨大的声响!不,不!
Scene 3
旁白: 年兽非常害怕,跑回了海里。第二天,村民们回到了村庄。
村民1: 我简直不敢相信!我们所有的动物都安全了!
村民2: 你是怎么做到的?
老人: 昨晚,我在门窗上贴了红纸,还点燃了许多蜡烛。最后,我燃放了烟花爆竹。它逃跑了!
村民们: 好极了!我们安全了!
旁白: 从那以后,每到除夕,人们会团聚在一起,庆祝即将到来的新年。他们在门上贴“福”字和春节对联,并燃放烟花爆竹。这就是我们也把春节称为“过年”的原因。
Detailed Explanations · 详细解析
A. 选择题
B Villager 1 说 The monster Nian will come,说明村民逃跑是因为年兽要来。
D 老人贴红纸、点蜡烛并燃放烟花,但他没有跟村民一起逃到山里。
B face 后接 Nian,结合老人说 stay alone 可推断为“面对并设法对付年兽”,不是“画脸”。
A From then on 表示“从那以后”,说明一个做法从某个时间开始延续下来。
C 老人没有依靠力量,而是用勇气和办法解决问题,因此 C 最符合故事主旨。
B. 排序题
答案:A-4,B-1,C-3,D-2,E-5。故事顺序为:老人留下 → 燃放烟花 → 年兽逃回海里 → 村民回来 → 形成过年的习俗。
C. 语法填空
came; saw; stayed; came; pasted; lit; set; ran。这些动作都属于故事主体中过去发生的事情。set 的过去式仍是 set。
D. 阅读表达
Nian hated the colour red, bright lights and loud noises. 答案来自 Scene 2,注意三个并列信息。
They get together, paste fu and Spring Festival couplets, and set off fireworks. 题目要求至少写两项,写出任意两项即可。
示例:I like the old man best because he is brave and clever. 开放题,人物和理由合理、语言基本正确即可。
