However, as society evolves, many traditional celebrations are being modified or even replaced by modern alternatives. This raises an important question: Should festivals strictly maintain their original forms, or is change necessary to keep them relevant? Traditional festivals carry historical and cultural significance. For example, China's Dragon Boat Festival honors the ancient poet Qu Yuan, while Mexico's Day of the Dead connects families with their ancestors. These customs teach younger generations about their heritage. If festivals lose their traditional elements, we risk forgetting their deeper meanings. Many argue that commercialization—like replacing handmade lanterns with plastic decorations—weakens cultural value. On the other hand, modernization helps festivals survive in a globalized world. India's Holi, once a religious event, now attracts international tourists with music festivals. Similarly, Christmas has evolved from a Christian holiday to a worldwide celebration featuring Santa Claus and gift exchanges. Changes like digital red envelopes (微信红包) during Chinese New Year make traditions more convenient without losing their essence. Without adaptation, some festivals might fade away as lifestyles change. The best approach may be a balance between preservation and innovation. Japan's Tanabata Festival blends ancient star legends with modern wish-writing traditions. Schools and museums can also help by educating people about a festival's origins while encouraging creative new practices. After all, the core purpose of festivals—bringing people together —remains the same, whether through a centuries-old ritual or a viral social media challenge. While change is inevitable, understanding and respecting a festival's roots ensures its true spirit endures. (1) Complete the mind-map of the passage. (2) How does the author's view on "preserving traditions" differ from "needing adaptation"? ______________________________________________________________________________________ (3) Why does the author mention Japan's Tanabata Festival in Paragraph 3? ______________________________________________________________________________________ (4) Mini-Writing Task: How My Favorite Festival Could Modernize?

While change is inevitable, understanding and respecting a festival's roots ensures its true spirit endures. (1) Complete the mind-map of the passage. 【答案】 【解析】第二段主旨句“Traditional festivals carry historical and cultural significance.”提取关键字“significance”. 第三段主旨句“On the other hand, modernization helps festivals survive in a globalized world.”提取关键字“modernization”. 第四段主旨句“The best approach may be a balance between preservation and innovation.”取关键字“preservation and innovation”. (2) How does the author's view on "preserving traditions" differ from "needing adaptation"? 【答案】Preservation protects cultural roots (e.g. Dragon Boat Festival), while adaptation attracts wider participation (e.g. Holi music festivals). 【解析】从“核心作用”和“案例支撑”区分两者——“坚守传统” 侧重护文化根脉（如端午忆屈原），“需要变革”侧重促节日存续（如胡里节引游客）。 (3) Why does the author mention Japan's Tanabata Festival in Paragraph 3? 【答案】To show a successful example of combine old (star legends) and new (wish-writing) traditions. 【解析】第 3 段主旨是“平衡传统与创新”，七夕节“古星传说 + 现代写愿望”是该观点的具体实例，作用是证明“平衡可行”。 (4) Mini-Writing Task: How My Favorite Festival Could Modernize? (80-100 words) 【答案】My favorite festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family to admire the moon and share mooncakes. To modernize it, we can keep traditional elements like homemade mooncakes and family gatherings, which carry the spirit of reunion. For modern touches, we could use eco-friendly lanterns instead of plastic ones and hold online moon-gazing parties for relatives living far away. We might also add a "mooncake DIY workshop" to attract young people. The core---cherishing family bonds---should never change. This way, the festival stays lively and meaningful. 评分维度（10分） 评分要点（80-100词） 师评 互评 内容相关性（3分） 是否紧扣“传统节日如何现代化”核心，有无结合具体节日细节（如习俗、意义） 创意合理性（3分） 现代化建议是否贴合节日本质，有无逻辑漏洞（如过度商业化、偏离文化内核） 语言准确性（2分） 词汇使用是否恰当(如“modernize”“traditional customs”)，语法错误是否影响理解 结构连贯性（1分） 是否用简单连接词（如“However”“For example”）使建议与节日传统衔接自然 篇幅控制（1分） 是否在80-100词范围内，内容简洁无冗余 （三）拓展创新 合作探究: 我校将举办国际文化节，请分成4人一组，选取一个你感兴趣的中国或者国外节日进行调研, 用英语完成项目报告并展示成果，内容包括： · 节日起源：历史/文化/传说...； · 现代庆祝变化：过去与现在庆祝方式的变化及原因； · 对当地文化的意义：节日代表的意义，节日对人们生活的影响； 注意：（1）展示形式不限，如海报，视频，PPT，表演等。 （2） 信息来源可靠； （3） 时间6-8分钟。 【答案】 Project Report: The Spring Festival—Tradition and Modernity Ⅰ. Origin of the Spring Festival The Spring Festival, dating back over 4,000 years, has its roots in ancient Chinese agricultural society. Legend says it originated from the fight against a mythical beast "Nian", which attacked villagers annually. People discovered Nian feared red color, firecrackers, and loud noises, so they used these to drive it away—later evolving into traditions like red decorations and firecrackers. Culturally, it marks the lunar new year, symbolizing renewal and hope for a prosperous year ahead. Ⅱ. Changes in Modern Celebrations Past Celebrations Modern Celebrations Reasons for Changes Family-made dumplings and mooncakes; handwritten couplets. Store-bought or customized snacks; printed couplets; WeChat Hongbao. Urbanization reduces home-cooking time; technology simplifies gifting. Firecrackers and fireworks to scare "Nian". Silent celebrations or light shows. Environmental protection policies and safety concerns. Home gatherings with nearby relatives. Traveling; online video calls with distant family. Improved transportation; globalization of lifestyles. Ⅲ. Cultural Significance The Spring Festival is the core of Chinese family values, emphasizing reunion, respect for elders, and gratitude. It strengthens community bonds through traditions like visiting relatives (拜年) and sharing meals. Even with modern changes, its essence— expressing love for family and hope for the future— remains unchanged, making it a vital carrier of Chinese culture across generations. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
