A
Of all the Chinese 24 solar terms, Clear and Bright (清明) is the only one whose first day is also a traditional Chinese festival, the Qingming Festival. The words “clear” and “bright” describe the weather during this period. Temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases, making it an important time for growing crops in the spring. As is known, it is a time to worship ancestors, however, here are several things you may not know about Clear and Bright.
Spring Outings
Not only is it a period to honor the dead, but it is also time for people to go out and enjoy nature. As trees turn green, flowers blossom, and the sun shines brightly, everything returns to life. It is a fine time to appreciate the beauty of nature.
Flying Kites
Flying kites is an activity favored by many Chinese during Tomb-Sweeping Day. Kites are not only flown during the day time but also in the evening. Little lanterns are tied to the kites. And when the kites are flying in the sky, the lanterns look like twinkling stars at night. What makes flying kites during this day special is that people cut the string while the kite is in the sky to let it fly freely. It is said that this brings good luck and that diseases can be chased away by doing this.
Cuju
Cuju is an interesting game played during this period. Ju is a ball made of leather with hairs plugged in it. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor first invented it for training warriors. Later, Cuju was used by people to build up their bodies when they were unable to eat hot food during the Cold Food Festival.
Feasting on Qingtuan
In the lower parts of the Yangtze River region, qingtuan is very popular on Tomb-Sweeping Day. Qingtuan is a kind of round green cake. In order to make the cakes, people mash (捣碎) barnyard grass (艾草) to squeeze juice from it and mix the flour and juice to a paste. Then they put fillings into the paste and steam them. Pretty and delicate, qingtuan has a special flavor.

The video has received more than 300, 000 views on Bilibili.

It may seem as if Mother’s Day was invented by a company named Hallmark, but people have been giving a shout-out to Mom for a long time. A more recent tradition was Mothering Sunday, which developed in the British Isles during the 16th century. On the fourth Sunday in April, young men and women who were living and working apart from their families were advised to return to their mothers’ houses.
Mother’s Day as it is observed in the United States started in the 1850s with Ann Jarvis, a West Virginia woman who held “Mothers’ Work Days” to promote health and hygiene at home and in the workplace. During the Civil War, Jarvis organized women to improve sanitary conditions for soldiers on both sides, and after the war she became a peacemaker, bringing together mothers of Union and Confederate soldiers and promoting a Mother’s Day holiday.
Jarvis’s work inspired another 19th-century woman, Julia Ward Howe. In 1870, Howe published her “Mother’s Day Proclamation”, which envisioned the day not as appreciation of mothers by their children but as an opportunity for women to exercise their collective power for peace. Howe started holding annual Mother’s Day celebrations in Boston, her hometown, but after about a decade the tradition faded away.
It was Jarvis’s daughter Anna, who succeeded in getting Mother’s Day recognized as a national holiday. After her mother died in 1905, Anna started holding yearly ceremony on the anniversary. In 1912, West Virginia and a few other states adopted Mother’s Day. Two years later, Woodrow Wilson signed a resolution naming the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day, making it an official US holiday.
It wasn’t long before whatever ideals the day was supposed to celebrate were buried under an amount of greeting cards and candy. By the 1920s, Anna Jarvis was campaigning against the holiday she had created. “I wanted it to be a day of emotionalism, not profit,” she said.
12. Who plays the most important role in creating Mother’s Day
A. Ann Jarvis. B. Julia Ward Howe. C. Woodrow Wilson. D. Anna Jarvis.
13. When was the second Sunday in May named as Mother’s Day
A. In 1914. B. In 1912. C. In 1905. D. In 1870.
14. Why did Anna Jarvis object to Mother’s Day at last
A. Because the festival was not profitable.
B. Because the festival made her feel emotional.
C. Because the celebrations went against the original spirit.
D. Because she had no passion on holding celebration activities.
15. What would be the best title for the passage
A The Objection to Mother’s Day
B. The Argument on Celebrating Mother’s Day
C. The Story Behind the Creation of Mother’s Day
D. Different Forms of Celebrations on Mother’s Day

It may seem as if Mother’s Day was invented by a company named Hallmark, but people have been giving a shout-out to Mom for a long time. A more recent tradition was Mothering Sunday, which developed in the British Isles during the 16th century. On the fourth Sunday in April, young men and women who were living and working apart from their families were advised to return to their mothers’ houses.
Mother’s Day as it is observed in the United States started in the 1850s with Ann Jarvis, a West Virginia woman who held “Mothers’ Work Days” to promote health and hygiene at home and in the workplace. During the Civil War, Jarvis organized women to improve sanitary conditions for soldiers on both sides, and after the war she became a peacemaker, bringing together mothers of Union and Confederate soldiers and promoting a Mother’s Day holiday.
Jarvis’s work inspired another 19th-century woman, Julia Ward Howe. In 1870, Howe published her “Mother’s Day Proclamation”, which envisioned the day not as appreciation of mothers by their children but as an opportunity for women to exercise their collective power for peace. Howe started holding annual Mother’s Day celebrations in Boston, her hometown, but after about a decade the tradition faded away.
It was Jarvis’s daughter, Anna, who succeeded in getting Mother’s Day recognized as a national holiday. After her mother died in 1905, Anna started holding yearly ceremony on the anniversary. In 1912, West Virginia and a few other states adopted Mother’s Day. Two years later, Woodrow Wilson signed a resolution naming the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day, making it an official US holiday.
It wasn’t long before whatever ideals the day was supposed to celebrate were buried under an amount of greeting cards and candy. By the 1920s, Anna Jarvis was campaigning against the holiday she had created. “I wanted it to be a day of emotionalism, not profit,” she said.
12. Who plays the most important role in creating Mother’s Day
A. Ann Jarvis. B. Julia Ward Howe. C. Woodrow Wilson. D. Anna Jarvis.
13. When was the second Sunday in May named as Mother’s Day
A. In 1914. B. In 1912. C. In 1905. D. In 1870.
14. Why did Anna Jarvis object to Mother’s Day at last
A. Because the festival was not profitable.
B. Because the festival made her feel emotional.
C. Because the celebrations went against the original spirit.
D. Because she had no passion on holding celebration activities.
15. What would be the best title for the passage
A. The Objection to Mother’s Day
B. The Argument on Celebrating Mother’s Day
C. The Story Behind the Creation of Mother’s Day
D. Different Forms of Celebrations on Mother’s Day
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了母亲节这一节日的历史传统、发展由来，以及后来的变化。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“It was Jarvis’s daughter, Anna, who succeeded in getting Mother’s Day recognized as a national holiday. (Jarvis的女儿Anna成功地使母亲节成为一个全国性的节日)”可知，Anna Jarvis在母亲节的创建上发挥了最重要的作用。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据“In1912, West Virginia and a few other states adopted Mother’s Day. Two years later, Woodrow Wilson signed a resolution naming the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day, making it an official US holiday. (1912年，西弗吉尼亚州和其他几个州采用了母亲节。两年后，Woodrow Wilson签署了一项决议，将5月的第二个星期天定为母亲节，使其成为美国的官方节日)”可知，1914（1912+2）年，5月的第二个星期天被定为母亲节。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“It wasn’t long before whatever ideals the day was supposed to celebrate were buried under an amount of greeting cards and candy. By the 1920s, Anna Jarvis was campaigning against the holiday she had created. “I wanted it to be a day of emotionalism, not profit,” she said. (没过多久，这一天应该庆祝理想就被一大堆贺卡和糖果淹没了。到了20世纪20年代，Anna Jarvis开始反对她创造的这个节日。“我希望这是一个充满情感的日子，而不是为了赚钱，”她说)”可知，母亲节的庆祝活动变成为了赚钱，违背了这个节日最初的精神，因此最终Anna Jarvis反对庆祝母亲节。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“It may seem as if Mother’s Day was invented by a company named Hallmark, but people have been giving a shout-out to Mom for a long time. (母亲节似乎是由一家名为Hallmark的公司发明的，但人们对妈妈的赞美由来已久)”可知，本文围绕母亲节展开，介绍了其悠久的历史传统，最终成为一个全国性的节日的经过，以及最后性质的变化。因此，C项“母亲节背后的故事”契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。

First of all, we do the spring-cleaning to welcome a new and clean year.(在中国新年的前几天，每个家庭都开始准备庆祝活动。首先，我们做春季大扫除来迎接新的一年)”讲述了新年来临，每个家庭都开始做准备，首先他们会大扫除，下文“They post the Chinese character Fu which is often attached upside down to show that Fu is arriving.(他们张贴“福”字，“福”字经常倒置粘贴，以表明“福”的到来)”也是讲述人们为新年做的准备，因此推断空处也是讲述为新年做准备，E项“在春季大扫除之后，每个家庭都开始装饰他们的房子”符合语境，讲述扫除以后，装饰房子为新年做准备。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据下文“We don’t have jiaozi but tangyuan which is a kind of round and white food indicating the family reunion (团圆). We also eat sticky rice balls called niangao.(我们没有饺子，只有汤圆，这是一种又圆又白的食物，象征着家庭团聚。我们也吃被称为年糕的糯米团)”可知，此处讲述新年的食物，D项“下一步是为新年前夕的晚餐准备食物”符合语境，下文对此进行详细阐述。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据下文“because fish in Chinese is pronounced the same as Yu, which means surplus and fortune.(因为鱼在中国的发音和余一样，意味着盈余和财富)”可知，前后文是因果关系，介绍为什么春节吃鱼，因此推断C项“每年的餐桌上鱼是必需的”符合语境。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据下文“as they get “lucky money” from senior members of the family and they love the fireworks display(表演)(因为他们从家里的长辈那里得到“压岁钱”，而且他们喜欢烟花表演)”可知，此处讲述的是孩子们为什么喜欢过新年的理由，as引导原因状语从句，说明上下文是因果关系，因此推断F项“当新年前夜到来时，孩子们会非常兴奋”符合语境。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据下文“We cannot knock at other people’s doors to wake them up as it will bring bad luck to them.(我们不能敲别人的门来叫醒他们，因为这会给他们带来坏运气)”讲述如果人们没有醒来，不能敲门去唤醒，因为会带来坏运气，B项中的“stay up late”符合语境，因此推断B项“孩子们在除夕会熬夜”符合语境。故选B。
