The Huazhao Festival is a traditional flower festival following the Lantern Festival. With a history of over 2,000 years,the Huazhao Festival was first held on flowers’ birthday. Since the climate is different in different parts of China,people celebrate the festival on the 2nd,12th,15th or 25th day of the second lunar month.
The Huazhao Festival was as important as the Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival in ancient times. Nowadays,an increasing number of people in China have begun to celebrate this flower festival again.▲
Spring outings(春游) during the Huazhao Festival were popular in ancient China. Since the festival is in early spring,it’s just the time to have an outing to enjoy all kinds of flowers. And people in some places plant flowers and vegetables. It is said that flowers and vegetables planted on that day would grow easily and rapidly. Besides,people believe wild vegetables in early spring are nutritious(有营养的),so many people enjoy picking them.
At the festival,crowded fairs often appear early that day. There are lots of activities at the fair,such as dancing,playing music and playing games.
People also cut colorful cloth into pieces and tie them to the stems(茎)of flowers,which is called “shanghong”,as a protection of flowers. If the stems are too thin to stand the cloth,people would put a thin
bamboo stick in the flower pot and tie a piece of red cloth to the stick.

The theme and main logo for the 2025 Spring Festival Gala were officially introduced on November 29th,2024.This great event,which marks the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac,promises to be a celebration filled with joy and traditional Chinese culture. The theme for this year’s gala is “Si Si(巳巳) Ru Yi, Sheng Sheng Bu Xi”which carries deep cultural and symbolic meanings.
The time from 9 a.m.to 11 a.m.is called “Si Shi” in traditional Chinese timekeeping. In this system,a day is divided into 12 parts,and each part is two hours long.”Si Shi” in Chinese represents the sixth part of the day,when the sun is high in the sky,symbolizing the rise of Yang energy and the hiding of Yin energy. It is a time when everything seems to wake up and come to life,creating a beautiful scene. By using “Si Si Ru Yi” as the theme,the 2025 Spring Festival Gala hopes to bring good wishes to every family and the whole nation.”Sheng Sheng Bu Xi” means that life continues endlessly,representing the endless energy and prosperity of the Chinese nation.
The main logo is both creative and meaningful. Its design is inspired by traditional Chinese patterns and it uses the Oracle Bone Script character(甲骨文)”Si” as its creative element. In details,there are two “Si” characters put together,while the right one is an upside-down mirror image,making it look like “巳”. This means good things will happen twice,like a double wish for luck. It’s a nice way to connect the Snake Year with good luck and send happy blessings to everyone.
People were very excited to see this new logo and they enjoyed the 2025 Spring Festival Gala very much. It was a fantastic show,full of music,dance,and fun,just like every year.

“It’s Father’s Day this Sunday. We are going to make a special card for it,” said Miss Miller. Then she handed out the usual paper and art materials to her noisy pupils.
They were a mixed punch. Some came from the rich side of the town but most of them were from parents who tried their best to get jobs. So she even didn’t want to carry out this activity.
“Think about all the things your dad does which make him special,” she said loudly. “You can write a poem or a short story thinking of the positive characteristics (正面特征) that make your father or grandfather special.”
Andrew looked at the paper. He had never met or spoken to his dad, so how could he write about him Once when he was looking in his grandma’s photo box, he had seen an old black and white photo but it was badly creased (有折痕的) and difficult to recognize (辨认). His grandma had quickly taken it from him and buried it. He wrote:
Dear Dad,
You are a person I do not know and would probably not recognize as I have only seen an old photo of you which was taken a long time ago. I often think and wonder about you especially when I have no one to talk
to about the Saturday’s sports meeting. One day when I grow up I will do an Internet search to find you, but I am not sure whether I will be successful. Happy Father’s Day, Dad.
( ) 51. What did Miss Miller ask her students to do
A. Carry out a Father’s Day activity. B. Make a special Father’s Day card.
C. Think about their father’s positive characteristics.
( ) 52. What does the underlined sentence “They were a mi—ed punch.” probably mean
Her students didn’t get along well with each other.
B. Her students’ family conditions were quite different.
C. Her students wanted to carry out the activity very much.
( ) 53. What can we learn from the letter
A. Andrew’s father had been dead. B. Andrew was sure of finding his father.
C. Andrew would like to meet his father.
( ) 54. Why did Andrew have difficulty in making a special card
A. Because he had never seen or spoken to his father.
B. Because his grandma refused to show him the photo of his father.
C. Because he knew nothing about his father’s positive characteristics.
( ) 55. What can we infer (推断) from the passage
A. Andrew lived with his grandma. B. Miss Miller thought highly of the activity.
C. Andrew’s grandma would agree to show the photo to him.

For me,Christmas always began in the middle of November. My sister Alison and I each sat down in front of the fire and wrote a letter to Father Christmas,telling him about all the presents we wanted. We seriously wrote “Father Christmas, the North Pole” on the envelope(信封) before giving the letters to our mother to post.
Into December, our excitement grew each day as we opened the new year calendar. Christmas cards arrived in the post. Christmas lights appeared in the streets. And of course, there was snow everywhere,
enough snow to make snowmen,and to have exciting snowball fights.
On Christmas Eve, the whole family helped to decorate(装饰) the house and put up the Christmas tree. Before we went to bed, we put our Stockings(长筒袜) at the end of our beds. We tried to stay awake as
long as possible to see Father Christmas, but the next thing we knew was morning—Christmas morning!
The stockings were now full of all kinds of small presents and sweets. Christmas morning was bright and sunny, so my sister and I went out into the garden to play with our new presents. Lunch was always late, but what a great lunch!
A big turkey with all the vegetables followed by Christmas pudding(布丁).
After lunch, the adults sat on the sofa in front of the TV for the Queen’s speech while we all played cards. Then we had tea, with a huge Christmas cake covered with snowmen. It didn’t seem possible, but we went on eating. By bedtime all of the children were very tired. As soon as we turned off the light, we all fell into a deep and happy sleep.
