After Chunfen, the days become longer and the weather becomes warmer. It is the best time for farmers to plant crops. Both Longtaitou and Chunfen tell us that spring is a time of new life and hope.

It has a history of more than 1,700 years. Among the numbers from zero to nine, nine is the highest odd number (奇数). People believe that two “ninths” meeting together stand for a long life. So it is a special holiday for Chinese people to show love and respect for their elders. They hold many kinds of activities in honor of old people to wish them good health and a long life. The festival comes during the golden time of fall. On the day, people traditionally drink chrysanthemum (菊花) wine, eat Double-Ninth Cakes and climb mountains. They also carry a kind of plant whose name is dogwood. People in ancient times believed that the plant could drive away evil (邪恶的) spirits and prevent them from catching an illness in winter. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．When is the Double Ninth Festival? ___________________________________________________________ 2．Does the Double Ninth Festival have a history of less than 1,700 years? ________________________________________________________________ 3．What do two “ninths” meeting together stand for? _____________________________________________________________ 4．Who do people celebrate the Double Ninth Festival for? _______________________________________________________________ 5．What do people traditionally drink and eat on the festival? ________________________________________________________________ Passage 6 The Chinese New Year is in late winter.

For example, the year that begins in 2025 is the Year of the Snake. Chinese is a little difficult. Chinese writing has existed for thousands of years. There are thousands of daily-used characters.

People have developed various traditions to celebrate the cold months and bring light and warmth into their lives. In Scandinavia, people celebrate the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, with festivals of light. They light candles and bonfires to symbolize the return of the sun. In Sweden, St. Lucia’s Day is celebrated with processions of girls wearing white dresses and crowns of candles. In Japan, the winter season is associated with “kotatsu” – a low table with a heater underneath, covered by a blanket. Families gather around the kotatsu to stay warm and enjoy oranges and tea together. It is a time for bonding and relaxation. In Russia, the New Year is the major winter celebration. People decorate fir trees, exchange gifts and enjoy festive meals. The tradition of Grandfather Frost bringing presents is very popular among children. In Mexico, the winter festival “Las Posadas” reenacts Mary and Joseph’s search for lodging. It is a nine-day celebration with processions, songs and feasts.

It is the following day after Christmas Day. In fact, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it’s a non-working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday. The origin (起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by an important person on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to have a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed (封印) up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the important person. But he wouldn’t open it to share them with the poor until Christmas. One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. The people put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day. Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day. They give away their time, services and money to Food Banks. And they offer gifts to the poor to help families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now. 1．what day will the public holiday be? _____________________________________________________________ 2．What would sailors do for a safe return in one origin thought? _____________________________________________________________ 3．How many thoughts about the origin of Boxing Day are mentioned? _____________________________________________________________ 4．Please give a proper title to the passage. _______________________________________________________________ 5．If you spend Boxing Day in Britain, what activity would you like to do? Why? ___________________________________________________________ Passage 10 阅读短文，根据短文内容用完整的句子回答下列问题。答案写在答卷的相应位置上。 Play is more than just fun—it matters a lot to growth and learning. That’s why the United Nations (联合国) picks “Choose Play—Every Day” as this year’s theme (主题) for the World Children’s Day. We celebrate this day every year on November 20, and this year, the UN wants to remind us that every child should have time to relax, play, and join in creative activities. As a supporter of children’s rights, Emma actively prepares fun activities for the World Children’s Day. She believes the day is both fun and meaningful, because through play, children make new friends, learn to go through difficult situations, and even learn leadership skills by solving problems together. In some poor areas, many kids still live in hard situations. To help them, the UN sets up Child Friendly Spaces. There, kids can play, learn and share their feelings. Most importantly, these spaces are safe. They let these kids feel like they’re living a normal life (正常生活) again. This year, the UN makes a special playlist on Brighter Kids (an app for the Day) with videos about playing and learning. So why not play today—and every day? It does more good than you might think! 1．What is the theme of World Children’s Day this year? __________________________________________________________ 2．When is the World Children’s Day? ____________________________________________________________ 3．What does Emma think of the World Children’s Day? _______________________________________________________________ 4．How does the UN help children in poor areas? ________________________________________________________________ 5．Where can people find the playlist by the UN? ____________________________________________________________ 培优拔高·挑战攻坚 Passage 1 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The tradition of tree-planting has a long history in China. Every year on March 12th, Chinese Arbor Day, millions of people across the country go out to plant trees. But do you know why we choose this special day? In 1915, the Chinese government first set Tomb-Sweeping Day, April 5th, as Arbor Day. Later, in 1928, the date was changed to March 12th to remember Dr. Sun Yat-sen, who called on people to plant more trees and protect the environment. March 12th is also right before the spring planting season, which is a good time for trees to grow. Planting trees is very important for our environment. Trees can clean the air by taking in carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. They provide homes for birds and other animals. Their roots hold the soil together and prevent floods. Trees also help cool the earth and make our cities more beautiful. In recent years, China has made great progress in tree planting. According to research, China has planted more than 70 billion trees since 1949. The Saihanba Forest is a good example. It was once a desert, but after years of hard work by three generations of foresters, it has become the largest man-made forest in the world. Everyone can do something for a greener world. Besides planting trees, we can also save paper, take care of trees around us and live a low-carbon life. 1．When is Chinese Arbor Day? __________________________________________________________ 2．Why was the date changed to March 12th? ____________________________________________________________ 3．How many trees has China planted since 1949 according to the passage? _____________________________________________________________ 4．What was Saihanba like before it became a forest? ________________________________________________________________ 5．What else can we do for a greener world besides planting trees? __________________________________________________________ Passage 2 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is one of the most important traditional Chinese festivals. It falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. The festival has a history of over 2,000 years and is closely associated with the poet Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was a loyal minister of the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. When his state was defeated, he drowned himself in the Miluo River out of sorrow. Local people rowed boats to try to save him and threw rice dumplings into the water to prevent fish from eating his body. Today, people celebrate the festival in several ways. The most famous tradition is dragon boat racing. Teams of paddlers race in long boats decorated with dragon heads. Another important tradition is eating zongzi—sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves with various fillings such as pork, beans, or dates. The festival is not only celebrated in China but also in many other Asian countries. In 2009, it was added to the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. “The Dragon Boat Festival helps us remember our history and traditions,” said 78-year-old Grandma Liu, who has been making zongzi for over 60 years. “Passing these traditions to the younger generation is very important.” 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．When does the Dragon Boat Festival fall every year? ______________________________________________________ 2．Why did Qu Yuan drown himself in the Miluo River? ________________________________________________________ 3．What did local people throw into the water to prevent fish from eating Qu Yuan’s body? ______________________________________________________ 4．When was the Dragon Boat Festival added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list? _________________________________________________________ 5．How long has Grandma Liu been making zongzi? ___________________________________________________________- Passage 3 Sanyuesan, or the Double Third Festival, is a special old festival for the Zhuang people in Guangxi.

More than 200 people came — not only Chinese students, but also French teachers and local neighbors. The party started with a short play Chang’e Flying to the Moon, performed by four Chinese students in hanfu. Then came the fun part: guessing lantern riddles (灯谜). The riddles were written in both Chinese and French, so even foreigners could join. “I guessed one! The answer is ‘moon cake’!” laughed Sophie, a French girl who just started learning Chinese this term. In the corner, two students were teaching people to make lanterns with bamboo strips (竹条) and rice paper. Nearby, an elderly French couple were tasting mooncakes carefully. “This one with egg yolk is my favorite,” the lady said. “It tastes like sunshine.” But the highlight (亮点) was at 9 p.m. — everyone walked to the riverside, lit a small paper lantern, and floated it on the water while whispering a wish. “In China, we say ‘the moon on the sea grows round, we share it from far and wide’,” said Lin Xin, the organizer. “Tonight, the Seine becomes our ‘sea’, and the lanterns carry our thoughts home.” When asked why they held such a party, Lin smiled: “Mid-Autumn Festival is about reunion (团圆), but also about sharing. We want our French friends to know: this festival isn’t just ours — the beauty of ‘full moon, full heart’ belongs to everyone.” 1．When did the “Mid-Autumn Garden Party” take place? ___________________________________________________________ 2．Who performed the short play Chang’e Flying to the Moon? ___________________________________________________________ 3．Why were the riddles written in both Chinese and French? ______________________________________________________________ 4．What does the underlined sentence “It tastes like sunshine” mean? ____________________________________________________________ 5．What can we learn from this party about traditional festivals?（开放性试题） _____________________________________________________________ Passage 5 阅读短文，回答问题。 Red is the lucky color in Chinese culture and money in the red packet is called lucky money. During Chinese New Year, giving lucky money to children is a way of sending wishes and good luck to them. Lucky money has special meanings for Chinese people. Here is a story about it. It is said that there was a monster (怪物) called Sui in old times. Sui always came out and touched sleeping children’s heads on the night before Chinese New Year. Then the children would be scared and have a high fever. In order to stop the touch of Sui, people would stay up the whole night. This is called “Shou Sui in Chinese.” Later, people found that putting a red packet with money under the pillow (枕头) could scare away the monster. To keep children safe and bring them good luck, giving lucky money during the festival became a tradition.

It is the following day after Christmas Day. In fact, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it’s a non-working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday. The origin (起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by an important person on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to have a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed (封印) up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the important person. But he wouldn’t open it to share them with the poor until Christmas. One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. The people put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day. Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day. They give away their time, services and money to Food Banks. And they offer gifts to the poor to help families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now. 1．what day will the public holiday be? _____________________________________________________________ 2．What would sailors do for a safe return in one origin thought? _____________________________________________________________ 3．How many thoughts about the origin of Boxing Day are mentioned? _____________________________________________________________ 4．Please give a proper title to the passage. _______________________________________________________________ 5．If you spend Boxing Day in Britain, what activity would you like to do? Why? ___________________________________________________________ 【答案】 1． On Monday. 2． They would drop money into the box. 3． Two. 4． Boxing Day. 5．I would like to spend time with family. Because it is important to be with loved ones.(回答合理即可) 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国节礼日（Boxing Day）的时间规定、起源传说以及现代的庆祝方式。 【详解】1．根据文章第1段“When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.”可知，若圣诞节是周六，则 12 月 26 日节礼日为周日，公共假日庆祝时间应顺延至周一。 2．根据文章第2段“Those sailors who wanted to have a safe return would drop money into the box.”可知水手们为了平安归来会往箱子里投钱。 3．根据文章第2段“One of the thoughts is that…”和第3段“One more thought is about…”可推知文章共提到了两种关于节礼日起源的说法。 4．通读全文可知，文章围绕英国的“节礼日”展开，介绍了其时间、起源及活动，因此最合适的标题是“节礼日”。 5．根据文章第4段“spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.”可知可以选择与家人共度时光，理由言之有理即可。 Passage 10 阅读短文，根据短文内容用完整的句子回答下列问题。答案写在答卷的相应位置上。 Play is more than just fun—it matters a lot to growth and learning. That’s why the United Nations (联合国) picks “Choose Play—Every Day” as this year’s theme (主题) for the World Children’s Day. We celebrate this day every year on November 20, and this year, the UN wants to remind us that every child should have time to relax, play, and join in creative activities. As a supporter of children’s rights, Emma actively prepares fun activities for the World Children’s Day. She believes the day is both fun and meaningful, because through play, children make new friends, learn to go through difficult situations, and even learn leadership skills by solving problems together. In some poor areas, many kids still live in hard situations. To help them, the UN sets up Child Friendly Spaces. There, kids can play, learn and share their feelings.

Every year on March 12th, Chinese Arbor Day, millions of people across the country go out to plant trees. But do you know why we choose this special day? In 1915, the Chinese government first set Tomb-Sweeping Day, April 5th, as Arbor Day. Later, in 1928, the date was changed to March 12th to remember Dr. Sun Yat-sen, who called on people to plant more trees and protect the environment. March 12th is also right before the spring planting season, which is a good time for trees to grow. Planting trees is very important for our environment. Trees can clean the air by taking in carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. They provide homes for birds and other animals. Their roots hold the soil together and prevent floods. Trees also help cool the earth and make our cities more beautiful. In recent years, China has made great progress in tree planting. According to research, China has planted more than 70 billion trees since 1949. The Saihanba Forest is a good example. It was once a desert, but after years of hard work by three generations of foresters, it has become the largest man-made forest in the world. Everyone can do something for a greener world. Besides planting trees, we can also save paper, take care of trees around us and live a low-carbon life. 1．When is Chinese Arbor Day? __________________________________________________________ 2．Why was the date changed to March 12th? ____________________________________________________________ 3．How many trees has China planted since 1949 according to the passage? _____________________________________________________________ 4．What was Saihanba like before it became a forest? ________________________________________________________________ 5．What else can we do for a greener world besides planting trees? __________________________________________________________ 【答案】 1．On March 12th. 2．To remember Dr. Sun Yat-sen and because it is a good time for trees to grow. 3．More than 70 billion trees. 4．It was a desert. 5．We can save paper, take care of trees around us and live a low-carbon life. 【导语】本文围绕中国植树节与植树造林相关内容展开，介绍了中国植树节的日期变更历史，说明了植树对生态环境的多重重要作用，以及中国植树造林的突出成果，呼吁大众，除了植树之外，还可以通过节约用纸、爱护周边树木、践行低碳生活等日常行动，助力打造更绿色的世界。 【详解】1．第一段中“Every year on March 12th, Chinese Arbor Day, millions of people across the country go out to plant trees.”直接给出了答案。 2．第二段中“Later, in 1928, the date was changed to March 12th to remember Dr. Sun Yat-sen...which is a good time for trees to grow.”可整理得到改日期的原因。 3．第四段中“According to research, China has planted more than 70 billion trees since 1949.”直接给出了答案。 4．第四段中“The Saihanba Forest is a good example.

This is called “Shou Sui in Chinese.” Later, people found that putting a red packet with money under the pillow (枕头) could scare away the monster.
