The ‘Counting the Nines’ has started on Winter Solstice (冬至)”. In Chinese, there’s even a common phrase called “Shu Jiu HanTian” — it means the coldest days of the year. But what is “Counting the Nines”? In China, winter can be long and really cold. But long ago, Chinese people found a smart and fun way to get through the time. This tradition is called “Shu Jiu” (or “Counting the Nines”). It’s a good way that helps people follow the weather and hope for spring. “Shu Jiu” usually starts on Winter Solstice. The way to do it is easy: people count 9 groups of 9 days — that’s 81 days total. When these 81 days end, the cold winter is gone, and spring is fully here. There’s a famous folk song called the “Song of Nines”. It talks about how the weather changes. For example, it says that during the “Third Nine” and “Fourth Nine”, it’s the coldest time — people can walk on ice! But by the “Ninth Nine”, cows start walking in the fields. That means it’s time to start farming. In Chinese culture, “Shu Jiu” isn’t just a calendar. It stands for hope and patience. It shows how smart ancient Chinese farmers were, and how close they felt to nature. Next time grandma tells you to put on more clothes, don’t get a cold! 66．Why does the writer mention grandma’s words in paragraph 1? A．To introduce his grandma. B．To introduce the winter clothes. C．To introduce the topic. D．To introduce the nine numbers. 67．When does “Counting the Nines” usually start? A．On the first day of winter. B．On Winter Solstice. C．On the first day of spring D．On the coldest day of the year. 68．Which picture can show the temperature changes during “Counting the Nines”? A． B． C． D． 69．What does the last sentence remind us to do? A．Listen to grandma and wear more clothes. B．Walk on ice in winter. C．Start farming in spring. D．Sing the “Song of Nines”. 70．What is the best title of the passage? A．The Coldest Days in Winter B．The Tradition of “Counting the Nines” in China C．A Famous Folk Song About Weather D．The Relationship Between Winter Solstice and Farming 【答案】66．C 67．B 68．A 69．A 70．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国的传统习俗“数九”。 【详解】66．根据第一段“...But what is ‘Counting the Nines’?”，作者在第一段引用奶奶的话后，随即提出问题引出“数九”这一全文主题，引用奶奶的话的作用是引出主题，并非介绍奶奶、冬季衣物或数字。 67．根据第三段“‘Shu Jiu’ usually starts on Winter Solstice.”，数九通常从冬至开始。 68．根据第四段“during the ‘Third Nine’ and ‘Fourth Nine’, it’s the coldest time...by the ‘Ninth Nine’, cows start walking in the fields. That means it’s time to start farming.”，可知数九过程中，三九、四九是最冷的阶段，到九九结束时春天来临，气温回升。纵轴表示气温，向上代表气温升高，因此气温变化为：从一九开始逐渐降低，到三九四九达到最低，之后逐渐升高，对应先降后升的曲线。 69．原文最后一句为“Next time grandma tells you to put on more clothes, don’t get a cold!”，意思是提醒我们要听奶奶的话，多穿衣物避免感冒。 70．全文围绕中国“数九”这一传统习俗展开介绍，核心主题是中国的数九传统。 九、语法填空（10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 May Fourth is China’s Youth Day.

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。 81．When does the Dragon Boat Festival fall every year? 82．Why did Qu Yuan drown himself in the Miluo River? 83．What did local people throw into the water to prevent fish from eating Qu Yuan’s body? 84．When was the Dragon Boat Festival added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list? 85．How long has Grandma Liu been making zongzi? 【答案】81．On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. 82．Because his state was defeated (and he felt sorrow). 83．Rice dumplings. 84．In 2009. 85．For over 60 years. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍端午节，讲述端午节日期、起源与屈原的故事、现代庆祝习俗、文化地位以及传承传统的意义。 【详解】81．第一段指出：“It falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year.”，这是原文直接信息，可以直接提取作答。 82．第二段写明“When his state was defeated, he drowned himself in the Miluo River out of sorrow.”，交代屈原投江的原因，直接摘录原文信息即可回答。 83．第二段指出“Local people rowed boats to try to save him and threw rice dumplings into the water to prevent fish from eating his body.”，原文清晰写出人们投入水中的物品，直接提取信息作答。 84．第四段写明“In 2009, it was added to the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.”，文中给出明确年份，属于原文直接信息。 85．最后一段原文信息“78-year-old Grandma Liu, who has been making zongzi for over 60 years.”，直接提取时长信息作为答案。 十一、书面表达（10分） 86．中秋将至，你的英国朋友Dave来信向你询问你最喜欢的中国传统节日，请你根据以下提示给他写一封电子邮件，向他介绍一下你最喜欢的节日——中秋节。 注意：1．词数60左右，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 2．包括所有的提示信息，可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3．文中不能出现与本人相关的信息。 参考词汇：symbol 象征 Dear Dave, There are many festivals in China.

The ‘Counting the Nines’ has started on Winter Solstice (冬至)”. In Chinese, there’s even a common phrase called “Shu Jiu HanTian” — it means the coldest days of the year. But what is “Counting the Nines”? In China, winter can be long and really cold. But long ago, Chinese people found a smart and fun way to get through the time. This tradition is called “Shu Jiu” (or “Counting the Nines”). It’s a good way that helps people follow the weather and hope for spring. “Shu Jiu” usually starts on Winter Solstice. The way to do it is easy: people count 9 groups of 9 days — that’s 81 days total. When these 81 days end, the cold winter is gone, and spring is fully here. There’s a famous folk song called the “Song of Nines”. It talks about how the weather changes. For example, it says that during the “Third Nine” and “Fourth Nine”, it’s the coldest time — people can walk on ice! But by the “Ninth Nine”, cows start walking in the fields. That means it’s time to start farming. In Chinese culture, “Shu Jiu” isn’t just a calendar. It stands for hope and patience. It shows how smart ancient Chinese farmers were, and how close they felt to nature.

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。 81．When does the Dragon Boat Festival fall every year? 82．Why did Qu Yuan drown himself in the Miluo River? 83．What did local people throw into the water to prevent fish from eating Qu Yuan’s body? 84．When was the Dragon Boat Festival added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list? 85．How long has Grandma Liu been making zongzi? 十一、书面表达（10分） 86．中秋将至，你的英国朋友Dave来信向你询问你最喜欢的中国传统节日，请你根据以下提示给他写一封电子邮件，向他介绍一下你最喜欢的节日——中秋节。 注意：1．词数60左右，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 2．包括所有的提示信息，可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3．文中不能出现与本人相关的信息。 参考词汇：symbol 象征 Dear Dave, There are many festivals in China.
