WHY DO WE CELEBRATE FESTIVALS
我们为什么庆祝节日？
Festivals are celebrated all around the world. They have a wide range of origins, such as the seasons of the year, religions, famous figures, and1 important events. Every festival has its different customs and unique charms. However, no matter how2 different they may seem, all over the world, the spirit of sharing joy, gratitude, love, or peace is common in all festivals. 1 连接并列宾语 2引导让步状语从句，no matter how different they may seem可以转化为however__different they may seem
世界各地都庆祝各种节日。节日的由来五花八门，比如时节、宗教、著名人物及重大事件。每个节日都有它不同的风俗和独特的魅力。然而，无论节日多么迥异，在世界各地，分享快乐、感恩、友爱或和平的精神存在于所有节日之中。
Of all the traditional festivals, the harvest festival can be found in almost every culture. This important agricultural festival takes place after3 all the crops have been gathered in. People celebrate to show4that5 they are grateful for the year's supply of food. In ancient Egypt, the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime—the Egyptian harvest season. It featured a parade and6 a great feast with music, dancing, and sports. Today, in some European countries, people decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and7 get together to celebrate8 over a meal. During the Mid Autumn Festival in China, families gather to admire the shining9 moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes. 3引导时间状语从句 4动词不定式作目的状语 5引导宾语从句 6连接并列宾语 7连接并列谓语 8动词不定式作目的状语 9现在分词作定语，修饰moon
在所有的传统节日中，丰收节几乎可见于每一种文化之中。这一重要的农耕节日(一般)会在所有农作物收割完毕后举行。人们举行庆祝活动，对这一年收获的食物表达感恩。在古埃及，人们于春季(即埃及的丰收季)庆祝丰收节。庆祝活动主要是游行和丰盛的筵席，载歌载舞，并伴有体育活动。如今，在一些欧洲国家，人们用鲜花和水果装饰教堂和市政厅，聚在一起共享大餐，以示庆祝。在中国中秋节期间，家庭成员团聚在一起，共赏明月，品尝美味的月饼。
Customs play a significant role in festivals, but10 sometimes they can change over time. With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas11, some traditions may fade away and others may be established. One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers12 to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year. Nowadays, many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution. Another example is Halloween, which13 slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of its religious origins. 10连接并列分句，表示转折 11介词短语作伴随状语 12动名词短语作宾语 13引导非限制性定语从句，对Halloween进行补充说明
风俗在节日中扮演重要角色，但有时也随时间而变化。随着现代社会的发展和新思想的传播，有些传统会渐渐消失，而另一些传统则得以建立。中国春节燃放鞭炮以驱鬼神、贺新年这一典型风俗就是一个例子。如今，为了避免空气污染，许多大城市已经摒弃了这一风俗。另一个例子是万圣节，虽然起源于宗教，万圣节渐渐成了孩子们纵情玩乐的一个节日。
Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations. Online shopping websites and14 social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones15. Although some believe festivals should not be commercialised, others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public happiness. 14连接并列主语 15 it作形式宾语，不定式短语是真正的宾语
节日正变得越来越商业化，商家会利用这些庆祝活动(进行促销)。购物网站和社交媒体应用程序极大地方便了人们为至亲至爱花更多钱购买礼物。尽管有人认为节日不应该被商业化，但是也有人认为消费增长有利于(提高)经济和公众幸福感。
Festivals are an important part of society. They reflect people's wishes, beliefs, faiths and attitudes towards life. They are occasions that16 allow us to relax and enjoy life, and17 forget about our work for a little while. They help us understand where we came from, who we are, and18 what to appreciate. And if19 you study festivals carefully, you may be surprised to find20 that21 different cultures actually have a lot in common after all. 节日是社会的一个重要组成部分。节日反映了人类的愿望、信仰、信念以及对生活的态度。节日是让我们放松心情、享受生活、暂时忘却工作的时刻。节日让我们了解我们来自何方、我们是谁、我们应该感恩什么。此外，如果你仔细研究各种节日，你会惊奇地发现不同的文化实际上有很多共同之处。 16 引导定语从句，修饰先行词occasions 17 连接并列不定式短语作宾语补足语 18连接where和who引导的宾语从句，以及“疑问词＋不定式”结构，作understand的宾语 19引导条件状语从句 20动词不定式短语作原因状语 21引导宾语从句

(2024·河北省张家口市高一下期中)Thanksgiving is a time of year when we get together with our families and celebrate peace over a giant feast including roast turkey and pumpkin pie.
There are many reasons why the pumpkin pie is made for Thanksgiving, one of which is related to the season. In the USA, Thanksgiving sits at the beginning of the fall season, and this is celebrated over a feast made up of seasonal food. Pumpkins are harvested in North America and Canada during the fall; therefore, being a seasonal crop, it is in richness at this time.
In 1621, some of the earliest American settlers came across pumpkins for the first time and were new to eating it. Early recipes describe ways of cooking pumpkins, which would have included hollowing out (挖空) a pumpkin and filling it with milk and honey. They would have then roasted it on a fire. It became a tradition for the Native Americans to bring the pumpkins to the settlers as gifts, and they showed them how to cook and prepare pumpkins.
Pumpkin pie recipes began to appear in English written American cookbooks in 1670. Some recipes included adding apples for added flavor. Most recipes have continued to follow the basis of using pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, butter, and so on.
The biggest pumpkin pie in the world was made on September 25, 2010, at the New Bremen Pumpkin Fest in Ohio. To make this large pie, 2，796 eggs, 525 pounds of sugar, and 1，212 pounds of canned pumpkin were used. After baking, the total weight of the pie was 3，699 pounds.
The pumpkin pie was a creation made with the help and guidance of Native Americans and is an important part of celebrating Thanksgiving.

(2024·陕西省咸阳市实验中学高一下期中模拟)What are pillows really stuffed with Not physically, but symbolically The question occurred to me with the photos of the international pillow fight in the news and social media from the 50 cities around the world. Armed with nothing more than bring our own pillows, strangers struck heavily each other from Amsterdam to Atlanta, Warsaw to Washington DC. But why Is there anything more to this delightful celebration
Actually, since at least the 16th century, the soft pillow has been given symbolic meanings. The Chinese playwright, Tang Xianzu, told a famous story in his work, Handan Notes. It was about a wise man who met a depressed young scholar at an inn and offered him a magic pillow. The scholar had a sweet afternoon nap on this pillow, dreaming that he had a more fulfilling life. When the young man awakened to discover that all was just a dream. The magic pillow's power shifts from wonder to terror. What's more, the 19th century English novelist, Charlotte Bronte, poetically observed “a__ruffled__mind makes a restless pillow”. Perhaps Bronte learned this from the philosopher, Montaigne, who once insisted that “lack of thoughts in mind is the softest pillow on which a man can have a good rest”. On Montaigne's thinking, intelligence and happiness compete against each other forever in a pillow fight that only one can win.
With the above information, we can perhaps more easily measure the attraction of the global pillow fight. Just like a ceremony of release, the annual international pillow fight amounts to a kind of cleansing, a brushing off of daily worries: an emptying of the world's restless mind.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍国际枕头大战这一庆祝活动的意义和它受欢迎的原因。

解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中画线部分所在句下文“lack of thoughts in mind is the softest pillow on which a man can have a good rest”可知，一个人可以好好休息是因为头脑中缺乏思想，所以一个人如果睡不着应该是因为头脑中思想太多太乱。a ruffled mind意为“杂乱的思想”。故选B。
7．What can be inferred about the international pillow fight from the last paragraph
A．It mainly celebrates daily worries.
B．It contains a profound meaning of history.
C．People will feel relieved during the fight.
D．People will lose their inner peace during the fight.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Just like a ceremony ... the world's restless mind.”可知，国际枕头大战就像释放仪式一样，相当于一种净化，一种对日常忧虑的扫除：清空世界不安的心灵。由此可推知，人们在国际枕头大战中会感到宽慰。故选C。

(2024·广西百色市示范性高中高一下月考)December strode (阔步走) into the mountains of Colorado, shooting snowflakes and blowing them into a thick blanket of white. As Christmas approached, the farmers there closed down most wooden houses for a holiday cheer. Not all were closed, however. There was still work to be done, and someone had to stay. That someone was Slim Carter.
Old Jake, another farmer there, had offered to keep him company, but Slim shook his head. “After all, a young man like me has got plenty of Christmases ahead，” Slim joked. Before Jake offered to stay again, Slim hurried on. “I'll just have a private Christmas this year, and that's the way I want it.” So he was left alone at the house. Alone, with his horse in the farm and the wolves roaring in the forest nearby.
Truth was, Slim had decided not to celebrate Christmas at all. It wasn't that he didn't like Christmas. In fact, his Christmas memories were good ones. His mother would fill their house with the light of candles and the smell of candy. His father would make their Christmas tree hunt an all day, men only affair. Slim smiled as he remembered sitting on the broad back of their horse with the freshly cut tree along behind. Back home, they would cover the tree with paper snowflakes and homemade decorations and sing all the Christmas songs they knew. And that's the way he liked it. Those were the memories he pulled out on nights when he was working alone. Such memories warmed him inside, even if his outsides were aching with cold.
This was Slim's first year away from home. “Christmas is nothing if not spent with family，” Slim declared to the empty house. That was the real reason he'd sent Jake away. He figured he would handle Christmas better if he just pretended it was an ordinary winter workday.
But on Christmas Eve, as Slim headed back with snow beneath his feet and stars overhead, his head hung low. It was Christmas, even without the tree and the gifts. Christmas, and he was all alone.

[精彩范文]
Then he remembered decorating the tree with his family again. Then Slim changed his mind, and decided to have a simple Christmas. He went out, looking for a Christmas tree. He swung an axe at the tree. The tree fell! After doing this, he shouldered the tree and walked towards the farm. On the way back, he heard many Christmas songs, which made him happy. After he returned to the farm, he put stars on the top of the tree, hung colored balls on the tree, and decorated the Christmas tree.
While singing to his decorated Christmas tree, Slim heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and was surprised to see old Jake. Covered with snow, Jake went into the house and said to Slim, “I felt lonely this day, so I decided to come back and spend this Christmas with you. May I？” Slim listened and shed tears of gratitude. So the two lonely people spent a happy and unforgettable Christmas together.

(2024·山东省日照市高一下期末)Kites and kite flying have a long history in China. According to Chinese records, in the Spring and Autumn Period, more than 2，000 years ago, a carpenter named Gongshu Ban invented a wooden kite. But kites have also seen use and appreciation in the US as well.
Many American schoolchildren are told story of how Benjamin Franklin, a famous early US politician and inventor, used kites to advance his studies of electricity by flying a kite with a metal key attached during a thunderstorm in June 1752.
But Franklin was not the only US inventor to use kites to push the boundaries of science. Wilbur and Orville Wright are well known as the inventors of the first manned aircraft at North Carolina, US in 1903, but they used kites as a way of testing their theories and observing possibilities in the years before, according to the American Kitefliers Association. Alexander Graham Bell, the American inventor of the telephone, also ripened what was called a “tetrahedral kite” in an attempt to find a design that was both strong and light enough to be used in a heavier than air flying machine.
Besides their use in US inventions and discoveries, however, kites are enjoyed by many throughout the US at different times of the year. Most notably, kite making and kite flying have been used to strengthen relations between the US and Japan through different festivals like the Blossom Kite Festival in Washington DC and the Japanese Kite Festival in Denver, Colorado.
The largest kite flying festival in the US, however, is the Washington State International Kite Festival. According to the World Kite Museum, this festival is a week long kite celebration and competition held each year during the third week of August at Long Beach, Washington. The event brings in famous kite fliers from around the world, who use special choreography (编舞) to wow audiences numbering in the tens of thousands.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了风筝在美国的历史渊源及其在科学、文化和娱乐方面的应用，特别是美国各大风筝节的盛况，展现了风筝对于加强国际关系和文化交流的重要意义。
1．Why is kite flying in China mentioned in Paragraph 1
A．To give an example.
B．To advertise for kites.
C．To introduce the topic.
D．To tell a story about kites.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“Kites and kite flying have ... in the US as well.”可知，本段先介绍中国风筝的悠久历史，然后在段末把话题转向美国风筝，从而引出后文对风筝在美国的历史渊源及其在科学、文化和娱乐方面应用的详细介绍。由此可推知，提及中国放风筝的历史是为了引出后文话题。故选C。
2．What does the underlined word “ripened” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Changed. B．Developed.
C．Selected. D．Discovered.

3．Which of the following highlights the Washington State International Kite Festival
A．Its long history.
B．Its kite flying performance.
C．Its large audiences.
D．Its kite making competition.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The event brings in ... in the tens of thousands.”可知，华盛顿州国际风筝节吸引了来自世界各地的著名风筝飞行者。这些飞行者使用特殊的编舞让数以万计的观众惊叹不已。由此可推知，风筝飞行表演是华盛顿州国际风筝节的重要特色，突显了这个节日的独特之处。故选B。
4．What is the best title for the text
A．Kites take flight in the US
B．US leads the world in kite flying
C．The kite flying festivals in the US
D．The roles of kites in American science
答案：A
解析：标题判断题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段中的“But kites have also seen use and appreciation in the US as well.”可知，文章介绍了美国的风筝历史、风筝在科学和文化中的应用，以及华盛顿州国际风筝节等相关内容，A项(风筝在美国飞舞)概括本文内容，适合作为文章标题。故选A。

Of all the traditional festivals, the harvest festival can be found in almost every culture. This important agricultural festival takes place after3 all the crops have been gathered in. People celebrate to show4that5 they are grateful for the year's supply of food. In ancient Egypt, the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime—the Egyptian harvest season. It featured a parade and6 a great feast with music, dancing, and sports. Today, in some European countries, people decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and7 get together to celebrate8 over a meal. During the Mid Autumn Festival in China, families gather to admire the shining9 moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes.

在所有的传统节日中，丰收节几乎可见于每一种文化之中。这一重要的农耕节日(一般)会在所有农作物收割完毕后举行。人们举行庆祝活动，对这一年收获的食物表达感恩。在古埃及，人们于春季(即埃及的丰收季)庆祝丰收节。庆祝活动主要是游行和丰盛的筵席，载歌载舞，并伴有体育活动。如今，在一些欧洲国家，人们用鲜花和水果装饰教堂和市政厅，聚在一起共享大餐，以示庆祝。在中国中秋节期间，家庭成员团聚在一起，共赏明月，品尝美味的月饼。

Customs play a significant role in festivals, but10 sometimes they can change over time. With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas11, some traditions may fade away and others may be established. One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers12 to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year. Nowadays, many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution. Another example is Halloween, which13 slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of its religious origins.

(2024·江西省乐平中学高一下月考)“When you laugh, you change and when you change, the whole world changes around you，” said Dr Madan Kataria.
World Laughter Day is an annual celebration that takes place all over the world, to raise awareness about the many healing (治愈) benefits of laughter. The event is celebrated on the first Sunday of May each year, and in 2024, it is on May 5th.
World Laughter Day was first celebrated in 1998 by Dr Madan Kataria. He was inspired to start the Laughter Yoga movement by the facial__feedback__hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, a person's facial expressions can have a direct effect on their emotions. World Laughter Day is celebrated to promote world peace and build a global awareness of brotherhood and friendship through laughter. The first “World Laughter Day” took place in Mumbai, India, on 11th of January 1998.
Laughter Clubs, which are free and open to all, are groups of people who regularly gather to practise simple laughter techniques that promote wellness and positivity. These clubs are typically led by a trained Laughter Yoga instructor, and the events usually last between 30－45 minutes.
Every year on World Laughter Day, hundreds of people gather worldwide to laugh together at Public parks, big squares or stadiums in their city by laughter club members, their families and friends. They have a variety of amusement programmes like music dance and laughter contests, etc. People with most infectious, natural and effortless laughter are the winners. During this day in India, laughter club members often do peace march. After walking some distance, they stop to do a few Laughter Yoga exercises and then move on. At the end of the march, they laugh together for 10 minutes or so and then read Dr Kataria's message for World Peace.

In 1621, some of the earliest American settlers came across pumpkins for the first time and were new to eating it. Early recipes describe ways of cooking pumpkins, which would have included hollowing out (挖空) a pumpkin and filling it with milk and honey. They would have then roasted it on a fire. It became a tradition for the Native Americans to bring the pumpkins to the settlers as gifts, and they showed them how to cook and prepare pumpkins.
Pumpkin pie recipes began to appear in English written American cookbooks in 1670. Some recipes included adding apples for added flavor. Most recipes have continued to follow the basis of using pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, butter, and so on.

(2024·陕西省咸阳市实验中学高一下期中模拟)What are pillows really stuffed with Not physically, but symbolically The question occurred to me with the photos of the international pillow fight in the news and social media from the 50 cities around the world. Armed with nothing more than bring our own pillows, strangers struck heavily each other from Amsterdam to Atlanta, Warsaw to Washington DC. But why Is there anything more to this delightful celebration
Actually, since at least the 16th century, the soft pillow has been given symbolic meanings. The Chinese playwright, Tang Xianzu, told a famous story in his work, Handan Notes. It was about a wise man who met a depressed young scholar at an inn and offered him a magic pillow. The scholar had a sweet afternoon nap on this pillow, dreaming that he had a more fulfilling life. When the young man awakened to discover that all was just a dream. The magic pillow's power shifts from wonder to terror. What's more, the 19th century English novelist, Charlotte Bronte, poetically observed “a__ruffled__mind makes a restless pillow”. Perhaps Bronte learned this from the philosopher, Montaigne, who once insisted that “lack of thoughts in mind is the softest pillow on which a man can have a good rest”. On Montaigne's thinking, intelligence and happiness compete against each other forever in a pillow fight that only one can win.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍国际枕头大战这一庆祝活动的意义和它受欢迎的原因。
With the above information, we can perhaps more easily measure the attraction of the global pillow fight. Just like a ceremony of release, the annual international pillow fight amounts to a kind of cleansing, a brushing off of daily worries: an emptying of the world's restless mind.
4．How did the writer lead into the topic of the passage
A．By giving reasons.
B．By telling stories.
C．By using sayings.
D．By raising questions.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段段首“What are pillows ... but symbolically？”及段尾“But why ... this delightful celebration？”可推知，第一段利用提出问题来引入这篇文章的话题。故选D。
5．Why the work and words of the three writers were listed in the second paragraph
A．To state how pillows help people take a good rest.
B．To explain why pillows connect with people's minds.
C．To claim that pillows can symbolically convey the meaning.
D．To describe that pillows always symbolize the good dreams.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的主旨句“Actually, since at least the 16th century, the soft pillow has been given symbolic meanings.”可推知，第二段列出了这三位作家的作品和文字是为了要说明枕头可以象征性地传达意义。故选C。
6．What do the underlined words “a ruffled mind” probably mean in the passage
A．A mind without any thoughts.
B．A mind with messy thoughts.
C．A mind that is peaceful.
D．A mind that is simple.
解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中画线部分所在句下文“lack of thoughts in mind is the softest pillow on which a man can have a good rest”可知，一个人可以好好休息是因为头脑中缺乏思想，所以一个人如果睡不着应该是因为头脑中思想太多太乱。a ruffled mind意为“杂乱的思想”。故选B。
7．What can be inferred about the international pillow fight from the last paragraph
A．It mainly celebrates daily worries.
B．It contains a profound meaning of history.
C．People will feel relieved during the fight.
D．People will lose their inner peace during the fight.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Just like a ceremony ... the world's restless mind.”可知，国际枕头大战就像释放仪式一样，相当于一种净化，一种对日常忧虑的扫除：清空世界不安的心灵。由此可推知，人们在国际枕头大战中会感到宽慰。故选C。

(2024·广西百色市示范性高中高一下月考)December strode (阔步走) into the mountains of Colorado, shooting snowflakes and blowing them into a thick blanket of white. As Christmas approached, the farmers there closed down most wooden houses for a holiday cheer. Not all were closed, however. There was still work to be done, and someone had to stay. That someone was Slim Carter.
Old Jake, another farmer there, had offered to keep him company, but Slim shook his head. “After all, a young man like me has got plenty of Christmases ahead，” Slim joked. Before Jake offered to stay again, Slim hurried on. “I'll just have a private Christmas this year, and that's the way I want it.” So he was left alone at the house. Alone, with his horse in the farm and the wolves roaring in the forest nearby.
Truth was, Slim had decided not to celebrate Christmas at all. It wasn't that he didn't like Christmas. In fact, his Christmas memories were good ones. His mother would fill their house with the light of candles and the smell of candy. His father would make their Christmas tree hunt an all day, men only affair. Slim smiled as he remembered sitting on the broad back of their horse with the freshly cut tree along behind. Back home, they would cover the tree with paper snowflakes and homemade decorations and sing all the Christmas songs they knew. And that's the way he liked it. Those were the memories he pulled out on nights when he was working alone. Such memories warmed him inside, even if his outsides were aching with cold.
This was Slim's first year away from home. “Christmas is nothing if not spent with family，” Slim declared to the empty house. That was the real reason he'd sent Jake away. He figured he would handle Christmas better if he just pretended it was an ordinary winter workday.
But on Christmas Eve, as Slim headed back with snow beneath his feet and stars overhead, his head hung low. It was Christmas, even without the tree and the gifts. Christmas, and he was all alone.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了临近圣诞节，Slim Carter (斯利姆·卡特)独自一人留在了农场， Jake (杰克)想要陪Slim一起过圣诞节，但是Slim婉拒了。当圣诞节来临， Slim是怎样独自过节的？是谁来到农场陪他过圣诞节呢？

[精彩范文]
Then he remembered decorating the tree with his family again. Then Slim changed his mind, and decided to have a simple Christmas. He went out, looking for a Christmas tree. He swung an axe at the tree. The tree fell! After doing this, he shouldered the tree and walked towards the farm. On the way back, he heard many Christmas songs, which made him happy. After he returned to the farm, he put stars on the top of the tree, hung colored balls on the tree, and decorated the Christmas tree.
While singing to his decorated Christmas tree, Slim heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and was surprised to see old Jake. Covered with snow, Jake went into the house and said to Slim, “I felt lonely this day, so I decided to come back and spend this Christmas with you. May I？” Slim listened and shed tears of gratitude. So the two lonely people spent a happy and unforgettable Christmas together.

(2024·山东省日照市高一下期末)Kites and kite flying have a long history in China. According to Chinese records, in the Spring and Autumn Period, more than 2，000 years ago, a carpenter named Gongshu Ban invented a wooden kite. But kites have also seen use and appreciation in the US as well.
Many American schoolchildren are told story of how Benjamin Franklin, a famous early US politician and inventor, used kites to advance his studies of electricity by flying a kite with a metal key attached during a thunderstorm in June 1752.
But Franklin was not the only US inventor to use kites to push the boundaries of science. Wilbur and Orville Wright are well known as the inventors of the first manned aircraft at North Carolina, US in 1903, but they used kites as a way of testing their theories and observing possibilities in the years before, according to the American Kitefliers Association. Alexander Graham Bell, the American inventor of the telephone, also ripened what was called a “tetrahedral kite” in an attempt to find a design that was both strong and light enough to be used in a heavier than air flying machine.
Besides their use in US inventions and discoveries, however, kites are enjoyed by many throughout the US at different times of the year. Most notably, kite making and kite flying have been used to strengthen relations between the US and Japan through different festivals like the Blossom Kite Festival in Washington DC and the Japanese Kite Festival in Denver, Colorado.

A．Changed.
B．Developed.
C．Selected.

B．Its kite flying performance.
C．Its large audiences.
D．Its kite making competition.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The event brings in ... in the tens of thousands.”可知，华盛顿州国际风筝节吸引了来自世界各地的著名风筝飞行者。这些飞行者使用特殊的编舞让数以万计的观众惊叹不已。由此可推知，风筝飞行表演是华盛顿州国际风筝节的重要特色，突显了这个节日的独特之处。故选B。
