Many traditional Chinese festivals remind us of the special foods. As zongzi is to Dragon Boat Festival and mooncakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival, yuanxiao—sweet dumplings made of sticky rice flour—is special to Lantern Festival.
The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th of the first lunar month, marking the end of the Spring Festival celebrations. Apart from the round-shaped yuanxiao, another beloved part of the celebration is the lanterns, which come in almost every possible size and shape. In old times, riddles (谜语) were pasted onto them so that people could try to solve them while looking at the beauty of the lanterns. However, both tradition and handicraft have become less popular among young people.
The Lantern Festival was at its height in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It was a day of great fun back then. In the evening, people went into the streets with all kinds of lanterns, watching lion or dragon dances, eating yuanxiao and setting off firecrackers.
The festival also provided a chance for unmarried young girls to go out freely in search of their true love, since they weren’t normally allowed to do so. The famous Song Dynasty poet Ouyang Xiu recorded this romantic tradition with the well-known line: “Atop the willow tree hangs the moon; my date comes in the evening soon.”
( ) 16. Besides eating yuanxiao, what tradition is also popular during the Lantern Festival
A. Watching movies.
B. Making dumplings.
C. Solving riddles on lanterns.
D. Having dragon boat races.
( ) 17. The lanterns with riddles provide people with _______.

C. 海上生明月，天涯共此时。
D. 月上柳梢头，人约黄昏后。
( ) 19. The Lantern Festival was the most popular during the _______ Dynasties.
A. Tang and Song B. Ming and Qing
C. Qin and Han D. Sui and Tang

四、任务型阅读（10 分）
阅读短文，然后完成文后的表格，每空不超过3 个词。
Festivals have always been an important part of life and culture. In the modern age, new festivals have appeared over time. Some of the new festivals came from other parts of the world; some appeared just because of the interesting meanings of the dates.
International Women’s Day, International Museum Day and International Nurses’ Day are currently celebrated around the world. These are mostly days for a specific group of people or a specific field. These festivals didn’t start in China, but we celebrate them in a Chinese way. For example, many Chinese students call International Women’s Day “Girls’ Day” or “Queens’ Day”. On this day, they have an interesting practice. They come up with interesting activity ideas, such as doing make-up or dressing up in hanfu.
Other new festivals include 520 Day, Eating Day (May 17th), Cute Day (October 10th) and Double 11 Day. 520 is a short form of the day of May 20th. In Chinese, it sounds a lot like “I love you” and 517 sounds like “I want to eat”. And the Chinese words for October 10th “ 十月十日” look like the Chinese word “ 萌”, which means “cute”. Double 11 Day is also known as Singles’ Day, because the date November 11th or “11.11” is all about the number “1”. So Double 11 Day is about “single”. People in China have celebrated Double 11 Day for a few years. And it is now one of the biggest shopping days in the world. For many young people, new festivals seem to be a lot more interesting than the old ones. But whether they are old or new, festivals always offer us a great excuse to take a minute and appreciate life with our loved ones.

五、One possible version：
Dear Miss Wang,
I’m glad to put forward my favourite festival for the coming Garden Party for Traditional Festivals. Of all the traditional Chinese festivals, I like the Dragon Boat Festival best. I am willing to introduce it to you. The Dragon Boat Festival was created in honor of the great poet Qu Yuan, who had great devotion to the people. On that day, people observe this traditional holiday by holding dragon boat races and eating zongzi. One of my favourites is the dragon boat race. It’s so exciting to watch the race.
In my opinion, the Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most important holidays in China, for it reminds us about the true spirit of honesty and loyalty of our ancestors. I like it very much.
Best regards,
Lin Tao
