七夕节
Falling on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the Qixi Festival, also known as the Double Seventh Festival, is just like Valentine's Day in Western countries. As it is a day of great importance to girls, it is also called the Young Girls' Festival or the Qiqiao Festival,literally meaning the Ingenuity-Begging Festival.
中国农历七月初七的七夕节，类似于西方国家的情人节。由于这一天对女孩来说非常重要，所以也被称为少女节或乞巧节，即向神灵讨要智巧的节日。
At night the sky is dotted with stars, and people can see the Milky Way stretching from the north to the south. On each bank of it is a bright star, which sees each other from afar. They are Niulang and Zhinü, and about them there is a beautiful love story passed down from generation to generation.
星罗棋布的夜空，银河横跨南北。在银河两岸各有一颗明星，彼此遥望。这就是牛郎和织女，他们美丽的爱情故事为一代又一代人传颂。
Because Zhinü is regarded as a beautiful woman deft at weaving,on the evening of the festival, girls sewed some articles to compete with each other and prepared some delicious fruits to worship Zhinü in order to be endowed with the masterly sewing skill. Not only did they hope for this skill, they also prayed to have sweet love.
人们认为美丽的织女善于编织，因此在七夕的晚上，女孩们互相比赛缝制一些物品，并准备一些美味的水果来敬奉织女，以便被赋予精湛的缝纫技巧。她们不仅希望手巧，也祈祷有甜蜜的爱情。
Long time ago, every Qixi Festival, a girl who was sympathetic towards Zhinü and Niulang would make some delicate pastries and prayed that the two could reunite smoothly. The Jade Emperor was touched and ordered Yue Lao to match a good husband to her. After that, more and more young girls made pastries on that day in the hope of sweet love and the custom of eating Qiaoguo formed.
很久以前，每到七夕节，有个很同情织女和牛郎的女孩都会做一些精致的糕点，祈祷两人能够顺利团聚。玉皇大帝十分感动，命月老给她找个好丈夫。此后，越来越多的年轻女孩在这一天做糕点，希望拥有甜蜜的爱情，于是形成了吃“巧果”的习俗。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“七夕节”的渊源及其发展。
9．考查非谓语动词。句意：七夕，在农历七月初七，被广泛认为是中国的情人节。分析句子结构可知fall与逻辑主语Qixi构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。故填falling。
10．考查固定句型。句意：传说织女遇见了一个牛郎，并爱上了他。legend has it that...是固定句型，意为“传说，相传”，故填that。
11．考查介词。句意：玉皇大帝强烈反对这对夫妇的结合，并强行将他们分开在银河系，他们被银河分开，一年只能见一次面。短语：object to sb./sth.“反对某人或某物”，to为介词，故填to。
12．考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子可知，“leaving them 　　4　　(tear) apart by the galaxy and only allowing them to meet once a year”在句中为状语，空处作补语，动词tear与代词them为动宾关系，所以此处用过去分词torn，故填torn。
13．考查连词。句意：但距离无法阻挡他们对彼此的爱，他们期待着每年农历七月初七见面一次。结合前后文语境可知为转折关系，应用连词but或yet。句首单词首字母要大写。故填But/Yet。

16．考查定语从句。句意：民政局门口也经常排起长队，在那里情侣们争先恐后地登记结婚，空气中弥漫着爱的气息。分析可知，空处及之后的内容为定语从句，先行词为the Civil Affairs Bureau，关系词在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where。故填where。
17．考查代词。句意：这是因为七夕具有象征意义：选择自己的爱情，忠贞一生。分析可知，空处在句中为同位语，指“七夕”这天，使用反身代词。故填itself。
18．考查形容词。句意同上。remain“保持”为连系动词，所以空处用形容词作表语，故填faithful。
19．the 20．which 21．has been 22．Climbing 23．gradually 24．beauty 25．and 26．to make 27．was regarded 28．to

19．考查冠词。句意：在中国民间传说中，数字9是最大的数字，与中文单词“久”谐音，意思是“健康和长寿”。修饰形容词最高级用定冠词the。故填the。
20．考查定语从句。句意：在中国民间传说中，数字9是最大的数字，与中文单词“久”谐音，意思是“健康和长寿”。这里为非限制性定语从句的关系词，先行词为“the Chinese word jiu”，关系词在定语从句中担当主语，所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
21．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：2013年开始实施的《老年人权益保障法》明确规定，每年的重阳节是老年人的法定节日。这里为从句的谓语动词，根据时间状语“since 2013”可知，从句时态为现在完成时；主语为which，代指“The Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly”，单数，所以助动词用has。故填has been。
22．考查非谓语动词。句意：登高是古时候祈福的习俗。这里为非谓语动词担当主语用动名词；出现在句首，首字母大写。故填Climbing。
23．考查副词。句意：如今，这一习俗逐渐融入了其他一些户外运动，包括太极、气功和广场舞。担当句子的状语修饰动词，用副词形式。故填gradually。
24．考查名词。句意：人们还会在这一天欣赏菊花，喝酒，吃重阳糕。根据空前的the以及空后的of可知，空处为名词形式。故填beauty。
25．考查连词。句意：人们还会在这一天欣赏菊花，喝酒，吃重阳糕。空前的“admire the ___6___ (beautiful) of chrysanthemums (菊花), drink wine”以及空后的“eat Chongyang cakes”为并列关系。故填and。
26．考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，人们每年在节日期间采摘新鲜菊花制作菊花酒，古人认为这是一种清热解毒和延年益寿的吉祥酒。这里为非谓语动词担当目的状语，用动词不定式形式。故填to make。
27．考查时态和语态。句意：同上题。分析句子成分可知，空处为定语从句的谓语部分，动词regard和主语which是被动关系，根据可知应使用过去式，因此，此处是一般过去时的被动语态，可数名词复数形式作宾语，主语which代指前面的chrysanthemum wine，谓语动词应使用单数形式，故填was regarded。
28．考查介词。句意：由于周围的社会关怀，重阳节越来越受欢迎，越来越多的老年人开始更多地关注他们的晚年。分析句子成分可知，空处缺少介词to和前面的Thanks构成固定短语“多亏了，由于”，符合句意。故填to。
