The radishes grown for the festival are a world away from the small, thin, red and white ones that are commonly on the tables of most restaurants in Mexico. Generally, they are not edible. Instead, they’re hand-carved into works showing different festive scenes for a competition. There are two primary radish-carving types in the modern-day Night of the Radishes competition — traditional and free. The traditional one requires the radish works to reflect the Oaxacan culture and festivals. The free type allows competitors to carve anything they want. The tradition of carving radishes dates back to the late 19th century, when Oaxaca’s farmers would attract buyers’ attention in the city’s main square by creatively showing their seasonal produce. In search of an advantage over competitors, they’d cut their fruit and vegetables into eye-catching shapes in the hope of making an extra sale. This marketing technique slowly became a tradition, and in 1897, a radish-carving competition for locals in Oaxaca was held. Today, the radish festival’s cultural roots remain the same. Early on the morning of the festival, Oaxaca’s main square is changed into an exhibition space. Shortly after the wooden tables are put in order, competitors begin to work on their radishes. Their works will formally be judged by midafternoon. The big prize money will be awarded to the creators of the best designs, which are decided by a respected judging team made up of officials, previous winners and artists, who will award the prizes at 18:00. As night falls, competitors can carry their works back home. These radishes will be shown on mantelpieces（壁炉台） or outside homes for a few more hours before the white radish flesh begins to turn brown and soften. In 24 hours, they’ll be only good for compost（堆肥）, from which new radishes can grow the next year. 1.What does the underlined word “edible” in paragraph 1 mean?( ) A.Easy to shape. B.Hard to save. C.Suitable to eat. D.Convenient to carve. 2.Why did Oaxaca’s farmers carve fruit and vegetables in the late 19th century?( ) A.To attract more customers. B.To show their carving skills. C.To take part in local competitions. D.To create artworks for festivals. 3.What can we learn about the radish-carving competition today?( ) A.Judging starts in the early afternoon. B.The judges include former winners. C.Works should be finished ahead of time. D.Competitors show their works until midnight. 4.What does the text mainly talk about?( ) A.A Mexican cultural festival. B.A radish-themed competition. C.The origin of a radish festival. D.The marketing of Oaxaca’s radishes. 参考答案 一、1.decorate；decorations 2.impression；impressive；impressed 3.occasional；occasion；occasionally 4.formal；informal 5.traditional；traditions 6.romance；romantic 7.annual；annually 8.current;currently 二、1.took place 2.dressed up 3.in the air 4.had two left feet 5.was caught up in 6.pick up 7.anything but 三、1.is stuffed 2.clapping 3.to open 4.playing 5.of 6.when 7.on/upon 8.to 9.on 10.with 四、1.Although different countries have different customs 2.It’s no wonder/No wonder (that) these people are so happy 3.What an unforgettable day (it was) 4.so interesting that people who took part in it all enjoyed themselves/had fun 5.Once we ignore the traditional festivals and their meaning 6.As the graduation ceremony drew to an end 五、1.agricultural 2.are gathered/have been gathered 3 .for 4.to celebrate 5.pollution 6.the 7.taking 8.easier 9.While 10.is 六、1-4：CABA ( 1 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
