The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month, marking the end of the Spring Festival celebrations.
At this festival, people often watch lanterns, which are in any size and shape you can imagine, from animals to plants and flowers. Another activity, guessing the answers to lantern riddles gives young people a chance to have more fun. Chinese people regard the dragon as a symbol of auspiciousness （吉祥）. So people also perform dragon lantern dances to look forward to a good omen（征兆） of this year’s good weather and peace. Lion dance is similar to the dragon lantern dancer delivering good wishes and good luck. Eating yuanxiao at the Lantern Festival is another tradition. Yuanxiao is made of glutinous（黏的）rice，either solid or stuffed. The stuffing includes bean paste, sugar, hawthorn（山楂）, various kinds of fruit and so on. It can be boiled, fired or steamed.
The Lantern Festival also seemed romantic in the old times. Because some young girls in ancient China were not allowed to go out very often except during certain festivals, this festival was a time for unmarried men and women to meet. Watching lanterns at night was just an opportunity for young women to find a man who attracted them. Therefore, for thousands of years, there have been a large number of stories and poems written about these during the Lantern Festival. The famous Song Dynasty poet Ou Yangxiu wrote the well-known lines:
Atop the willow tree hangs the moon, my date comes in the evening soon.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国传统节日之一的元宵节，如元宵节的庆祝活动、在古代这个节日的意义以及相关的文学创作等等。
1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“watch lanterns”、“guessing the answers to lantern riddles”、“perform dragon lantern dances”、“Lion dance”和“Eating yuanxiao”可知元宵节的庆祝活动有看花灯、猜灯谜、舞龙、醒狮和吃元宵等5项活动。故选B。
2．猜测词义题。It所在的句子意为“它可以煮着吃、烤着吃或者蒸着吃”，说明It指的是一种食物。根据第二段中的“Yuanxiao is made of glutinous（黏的）rice，either solid or stuffed.”可知It指的是元宵节的特色食物，元宵。故选A。
3．推理判断题。根据第三段“Because some young girls in ancient China were not allowed to go out very often except during certain festivals, this festival was a time for unmarried men and women to meet.”可知古代的年轻女子是不被允许经常外出的，除了在某些特定的节日，而元宵节这个节日就是给那些未婚男女相遇的一个美好时机。由此可推测古代年轻人很喜欢这个节日。故选C。
4．推理判断题。根据第三段“Watching lanterns at night was just an opportunity for young women to find a man who attracted them.”可知元宵节晚上赏花灯是年轻女子寻找青睐她们的男子的大好时机，说明赏灯的场景适合写诗抒情。选项D的诗句为“众里寻他千百度。蓦然回首，那人却在灯火阑珊处。”符合题意。故选D。
5．推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Our traditional values are in danger of losing their true meanings. What should we do ”可知文章末尾作者表达了以下观点：我们的传统价值正面临着失去它们原有意义的危险，并对于“接下来如何做”提出疑问，说明下一段应该就“如何保护我们的传统文化”这一问题提出相关的建议或做法。故选C。

【点睛】阅读理解题中判断句子的正误属于推理判断题，是英语试题中经常出现的题型，也是难题之一。4个选项要根据题干意思一一从原文中查找，有些是关键单词出错，有些是句子意思表达有误。此类判断题考查学生对文章句子的深层次理解能力。如第3题，B是范围出错，不是全国而是分南北方。所以句子正误题可以优先注意题干中的关键信息，如数字，地点，程度词等。

What does Beijing’s Palace Museum look like at night Many people don’t know the answer to this question, as it closes at around 4:30 p.m in winter and 5:00 p.m in summer. However, to celebrate the Lantern Festival, Beijing’s Palace Museum opened its door to the public after dark——for two nights only. That’s a first in 94 years! Although people could get free tickets on the museum’s website, it was difficult to get a ticket. The website even stopped working for a while because too many people visited it at the same time. Zhang Zhifu, a 77-year-old woman, received a ticket from the museum as a gift. “I grew up in Beijing and I visited the Palace Museum every year, but I never got to see it at night. It is truly an honor.” She said.
In the past celebrating the Lantern Festival was a tradition for the imperial(皇帝的) family. “We want to pass the tradition on and give people more festival experience.” Said Shan Jixiong, the head of the Palace Museum. On the night of February 19th, 2019, about 3,000 visitors spent the Lantern Festival in the Palace Museum.

They prepare delicious dumplings. People often come back home to get together for the big dinner. They exchange greetings with other friends and relatives.

The Lantern Festival is January 15th on the lunar calendar. During the Lantern Festival, people hang out with families to watch lanterns. The biggest and most beautiful lantern is the dragon lantern, which looks like a flying dragon, held by several young men. Some lanterns have puzzles on them, called lantern puzzles.

In ancient times, young women, especially daughters of eminent（有声望的）families, hardly went out of their houses. But during the Lantern Festival, it was a tradition that all people, including those young women, would go out for lantern shows. At that time, the festival activities like this provided unmarried men and women with a chance to get to know each other, so they could look for their own partners during enjoying the lanterns. A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this: ▲

At this festival, people often watch lanterns, which are in any size and shape you can imagine, from animals to plants and flowers.

Lion dance is similar to the dragon lantern dancer delivering good wishes and good luck. Eating yuanxiao at the Lantern Festival is another tradition. Yuanxiao is made of glutinous（黏的）rice，either solid or stuffed. The stuffing includes bean paste, sugar, hawthorn（山楂）, various kinds of fruit and so on. It can be boiled, fired or steamed.
The Lantern Festival also seemed romantic in the old times. Because some young girls in ancient China were not allowed to go out very often except during certain festivals, this festival was a time for unmarried men and women to meet. Watching lanterns at night was just an opportunity for young women to find a man who attracted them.

What does Beijing’s Palace Museum look like at night Many people don’t know the answer to this question, as it closes at around 4:30 p.m in winter and 5:00 p.m in summer.

As we all know, the Lantern Festival is on the 15th of the first lunar month, meaning the end of the Spring Festival celebrations. Studying in Chinatown, California, I couldn’t celebrate it with my family, so after discussing with my friends, we decided to cook a dinner together.
We bought the meat and vegetables from the market and started to cook at around five in the afternoon. My friends Tony and Chen Qifan acted as cooks for the day.
In the kitchen, the sounds of knives cutting and water splashing (飞溅) reminded me of being back in my hometown. Right away these sounds made me think of my grandma preparing the pork and my mom washing the cabbages for our meal.So did my friends.
“Dinner!” shouted Qifan as the last dish was placed on the table. As the smell of spices and meat filled the air, we couldn’t wait to start eating. Once we began, the different taste preferences among my friends from different regions of China became obvious.
Although I come from Shanxi, a place famous for its mature vinegar (陈醋), I never knew that crab meat dipped in vinegar and ginger (姜) was so tasty. This combination was not only delicious but also healthy. We exchanged information about our diet habits and cultures and were surprised by the many small differences. The whole room was filled with laughter and the sounds of colliding (碰撞) chopsticks and bowls.
On the way home, the laughter still rang through my head – I can’t imagine life without my dearest friends. I’ll probably forget all the physics equations (方程式) or how to pass chemistry but I’ll never forget the time I’ve spent with my friends.
