三、阅读理解
The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, so it is also known as the Double Ninth Festival. The festival is held in the golden season of autumn, at harvest-time. The bright clear weather and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festival happy atmosphere. The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities. Climbing a mountain, carrying a spray of dogwood (茱萸) and drinking chrysanthemum (菊花) wine have become the traditional activities of the festival.
The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance (香气), and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine. People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill (寒意) in late autumn. So its history as a medicine goes back many centuries. But the custom of carrying a spray of dogwood during the Double Ninth Festival is slowly dying out and many people in the cities, do not even know what a dogwood spray looks like.
Early in Han Dynasty, about 2000 years ago, people used to climb a high platform outside the capital city of Chang’an on the occasion of the Chongyang Festival. For many, it was the last outing of the year before the onset of winter. The custom evolved (发展成) into present form, when people go climbing to get some exercises as well as enjoy the autumn scenery.
But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes. The Chinese word for “cake” is “Gao”, a homony of the Chinese word for “high”. Mountains are high, so eating cakes can, by a stretch of the imagination, take the place of going for a climb.
26．Why do people carry a spray of dogwood on Chongyang Festival
A．Because the dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance.
B．Because the dogwood can be used as a Chinese herbal medicine.
C．Because the dogwood has a long history as a medicine.
D．Because people believed the dogwood could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from chill.
27．In one of ________ poems, we can know the traditions of climbing mountains and carrying dogwood on the Chongyang Festival.
A．Wang Wei’s B．Li Bai’s C．Du Fu’s D．Bai Juyi’s
28．People now climb mountains on the Chongyang Festival ________.
A．to have a last outing of the year before the onset of winter B．to get some exercises
C．to enjoy beautiful autumn scenery D．both B and C
29．People living in plains far from mountains eat cakes because ________.
A．the Chinese word for “cake” is “Gao”
B．the Chinese “Gao” for cake sounds like the Chinese “Gao” for high
C．they often take cakes to go for a picnic on the festival
D．they like eating cakes
30．Which of the following is true
A．The Double Ninth Festival is on September 9th.
B．People climbed mountains to celebrate the Chongyang Festival in Han Dynasty.
C．People often celebrate the Chongyang Festival in the open air.
D．Eating cakes is just like climbing mountains.
四、阅读下面的对话，根据所给的首字母提示，用合适的单词填空
