Chinese Spring Festival, also called Lunar① New Year, has more than 4,000 years of history. It comes
on the first day of Chinese lunar calendar and lasts for almost half of a month. But in folk custom, this traditional
holiday lasts from the 23rd day of the twelfth month to the 15th day of the first month (Lantern Festival) in the lunar calendar. Among these days, the New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year is the peak② time. The exact days are different in every year according to the lunar calendar.
There are many legends③ about Spring Festival in Chinese culture. In folk culture, it is said that people use red color and fireworks or firecrackers to drive away a dreadful animal “nian”. As a result, the custom of using red color and setting off fireworks remains.
Before the Spring Festival, every family does a thorough house cleaning and purchases enough food, and new clothes, especially for children. Spring Festival couplets (春联) and the Chinese character “Fu” are pasted④ at every gate.
Food during this happy event has its characteristics, which is the representative of Chinese festival food culture. Dumplings and the reunion dinner are indispensable⑤ at this time. Cold and hot dishes are all served. Fish is always an important dish then, which expresses people's hope of having a wealthy year.
Being one of the traditional Chinese festivals, it is the most important festival for Chinese people. It is also the time for the whole families to get together.
【注】 ①lunar adj. 月球的，月亮的 ②peak n. 顶点，顶峰 adj. 顶峰的，高峰的 ③legend n. 传说 ④paste vt. 粘贴 ⑤indispensable adj. 不可或缺的
【立德树人】 中国的春节给了人们一份难以化开的情，一种经年酿造的醇厚的味觉，这就是生养我们的“文化之根”。传统民俗是传统文化的一部分，作为新一代的青年要传承好中国优秀文化，民族的就是世界的(The nation's is also the world's.)。
Period Ⅰ Starting out & Understanding ideas
课前自学导引
许多人从小时候起就记得圣诞老人的魔力。作为父母，他们尽可能长的为他们的孩子把这种魔力保持下去。
那就是为什么《圣诞老人的来信》这本书对于那些把圣诞节视为一年中特殊时刻的人来说是一本完美的书。写这些信的人是英国文学史上最著名的J.R.R.托尔金——《指环王》的作者。托尔金就是用这种信件交流的方式，使他的四个孩子在二十多年的时间里相信圣诞老人的存在。
每年圣诞节，都会有一个带北极邮票的信封到来。这封信是写给托尔金的孩子们的。它可能是谁写的？孩子们打开信时一定很兴奋。在里面，他们会发现一封圣诞老人手写的信。这些信还有精美的插图，每封信都一定花了它真正的作者托尔金很长时间才能完成。
信中讲述了有关圣诞老人在北极的生活和冒险故事。信中的一个惯常出现的角色是北极熊，它曾经爬上北极(此处指一根实际的柱子)，并且从圣诞老人家的屋顶上摔了下来。在另一封信中，圣诞老人抱怨说他不能阻止他的助手们用玩具玩游戏，而不是把它们包起来。有趣的是，这封信并没有像往常一样警告孩子们，如果(表现)不好的话，他们可能不会收到礼物。然而这些信件的确随着孩子们长大发生了变化：
……但是如果你发现许多你要的东西并没有到来，或者，可能不像有时候那么多，要记住这个圣诞节全世界有很多穷人和正在挨饿的人。
《圣诞老人的来信》告诉我们，除了欣赏圣诞老人、北极熊和其他人物在北极的冒险活动外，我们还可以在圣诞节一起感受给予的真谛。通过这样一种特殊的方式表达对孩子们的爱，托尔金也许可以称作真正的圣诞老人。

Ⅱ 阅读理解
Winter solstice (冬至), an important solar term in the traditional Chinese calendar, as the name implies, means the coming of winter. It generally occurs between December 21st and 23rd. According to the traditional Chinese calendar, one year is divided into twenty?four solar terms. On this day, in the Northern Hemisphere the period of daytime is the shortest of the year and the period of night is the longest.
In Northern China there is a custom of eating dumplings during winter solstice. The tradition of eating dumplings during winter solstice has its origin in early times. It is said that dumplings were invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a well?known doctor from the Eastern?Han Dynasty.
One winter, he noticed that many people's ears were frozen, which made him sad. In order to prevent and cure the freezing injury caused by the cold, he asked his followers to boil mutton, chilies and other ingredients with medicinal properties in a pot for fending_off cold. After these were boiled, they ladled (舀取) the mutton and other ingredients out of the pot, cut them into pieces, and then wrapped them with dough skins in the shape of ears. Afterward, they put these into pots to boil again.
On the day of the winter solstice, the people whose ears were frozen were sent to eat the dumplings. People who ate it felt warm from head to toe and had their cold injury healed. Thereafter, every winter solstice people ate dumplings. Then there became a saying that if you eat dumplings during the winter solstice, then you won't freeze your ears off.
Afterwards, Zhang Zhongjing died on the day of winter solstice. In order to honor him, every year on the day of the winter solstice every household makes dumplings.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了冬至华北地区习惯吃饺子的由来。“医圣”张仲景发明了“祛寒娇耳汤”来预防和治疗冻伤，以后就成了冬至吃饺子耳朵不会冻坏的习俗，后来人们为了纪念张仲景每年冬至都吃饺子。
1．Which of the following should be the best title of the passage?
A．The Origin of the Custom of Eating Dumplings on Winter Solstice
B．The Inventor of Dumplings
C．The Importance of Eating Dumplings
D．The Origin of Winter Solstice
答案：A 标题判断题。本文主要讲述冬至吃饺子的习俗的由来。分析选项可知B、C、D三项是文中的细节。同时结合第二段第二句(全文主旨句)可知A项是最合适的标题。
2．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Winter solstice is the most important among twenty?four solar terms.
B．Australia in the Southern Hemisphere has the longest period of daytime on Winter Solstice.
C．If people don't eat dumplings, they will have their ears frozen off.
D．China has the longest period of daytime on Winter Solstice.
答案：B 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“On this day, in the Northern Hemisphere the period of daytime is the shortest of the year and the period of night is the longest.”可知，在这一天，在北半球白天的时间是一年中最短的，夜晚的时间是最长的。而澳大利亚在南半球，所以冬至这一天白天时间最长。故选B项。
3．What does the underlined phrase “fending off” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Put off. B．Put out.
C．Keep up. D．Fight off.
答案：D 词义猜测题。根据第三段可知，张仲景为了预防和治疗寒冷引起的冻伤，他要人们把各种食材放入锅内煮以此来御寒，故画线短语fending off意为“抵挡”。put off意为“推迟，延期”；put out意为“熄灭，扑灭”；keep up意为“保持，继续”；fight off意为“抵抗；挡住”。故选D项。
4．According to the passage, people make dumplings to eat every winter solstice because ________.
A．they want to honor Zhang Zhongjing, who invented dumplings to cure people of freezing injury
B．they want to celebrate the important solar term in the traditional Chinese calendar
C．dumplings boiled with mutton, chilies and other ingredients with medicinal properties taste delicious
D．they can feel warm from head to toe and have their freezing injury healed
答案：A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Zhang Zhongjing died on the day of winter solstice. In order to honor him, every year on the day of the winter solstice every household makes dumplings”(张仲景在冬至那天去世了。为了纪念他，每年冬至的时候，每家每户都包饺子。)可知，人们在冬至这一天包饺子是为了纪念张仲景，故选A项。

课后课时作业
Ⅰ 阅读理解
Luling, a small town in Texas, is home to a watermelon water tower, a watermelon queen and a festival called the Watermelon Thump.
The event includes food, music and a parade. But what sets this watermelon festival apart from others is the World Championship Seed Spitting (吐西瓜籽) Contest.
Only about 5,500 people live in Luling. But since 1954, the population has swelled on the last weekend in June. Now, tens of thousands of people come from all around to attend the four?day festival.
“The seed－spitting crowds get into it，” said Edgar Camacho, who is father to four seed－spitting champions. “Parents from Luling take it seriously.”
The competition is limited to about 50 kids and 50 adults. The kids are divided into four age groups. For the individual (个人的) competition, everyone gets two spits,
and judges record the better one. For the team event, judges take the sum of four spits from four participants.
“It's really fun and exciting，” said Victoria Camacho, 14.“The crowd is all watching you and cheering for you, and your family is there.” About 200 people watch. “It's really a lot of pressure because you don't want to mess up.”
Victoria won her age group four years ago with a spit of 36 feet. Two years ago, her brother A．J., 17, broke the youth record in Luling when he spat a seed 58 feet 9 inches. That's more than half the length of a basketball court. (The adult seed－spitting world record, set in 1989, is 68 feet 9 inches.)
“It's fun to come out and compete every year. It's just a really competitive spirit that all the families have，” said A．J., who has won the seed－spitting contest about 10 times.
The Camachos have no plans to give up their competitive spitting anytime soon.
“Even if I don't live in Texas，” said Davis Camacho, 20, a five－time winner. “I'll make the yearly journey to Luling.”
篇章导读：本文是一则新闻报道，介绍了德克萨斯州的Luling小镇每年举办一次西瓜节，该节日的最特别之处在于其吐西瓜籽比赛。
1．What does the underlined word “swelled” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Increased. B．Doubled.
C．Recovered. D．Dropped.
答案：A 词义猜测题。根据画线词前后句可知，自1954年开始，Luling小镇的人口在六月最后的那个周末不断增加。而根据该段的内容可知，小镇的常住人口仅有5,500人，因为当地举办的西瓜节吸引来自世界各地的游客，因此人口在节日期间急剧增加。故画线词swelled意思是“增加”。
2．What's the rule for the group competition?
A．Everyone gets two spits.
B．The best four spits are recorded.
C．Each team member can spit only once.
D．Participants are divided into four age groups.
答案：C 推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“For the team event, judges take the sum of four spits from four participants.”可知，在团体比赛中，每名参赛人员只能吐一次西瓜籽。
3．How does Victoria feel about the competition?
A．Confident and lucky. B．Stupid and bored.
C．Happy and fearless. D．Excited and nervous.
答案：D 推理判断题。根据Victoria在第六段中说的“It's really fun and
exciting”和“It's really a lot of pressure”可知，她认为比赛既刺激又紧张。
4．What can we learn about the competition?
A．It lasts four days.
B．It happens every year.
C．It is an international event.
D．It gets thousands of viewers.
答案：B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The Camachos have no plans to give up their competitive spitting anytime soon.”以及Camacho的家庭成员之一Davis在最后一段中说的“Even if I don't live in Texas”和“I'll make the yearly journey to Luling.”可知，吐西瓜籽比赛一年举行一次。
Ⅱ 七选五
China has been the birthplace of many of the world's greatest inventions. It was, for example, the first country to produce paper money. Before the invention of paper money and coins, people used many different kinds of things for buying and selling. __1__ This exchange of goods and services for other goods and services is called bartering (物物交换)．
__2__ In 1200 BC, people in China began to use shells (贝壳) as money. Usually the shells used as money were very small. This made it easier for people to carry money over long distances, and allowed for trade to develop between different parts of the country.
In the years which followed this invention, many other countries around the world began to do the same. __3__
The next development was in 1000 BC, when China started making bronze and copper shells. It wasn't long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal. __4__ By 500 BC, metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece, and later in the Roman Empire.
About 1,000 years later, leather was used as money in China, and in 806 AD, the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese people. __5__
A．As time went by, trade between countries increased.
B．People also began collecting foreign coins as souvenirs.
C．They also used tiny shells as money for buying and selling.
D．It was still many years before paper money appeared in Europe.
E．However, as economies developed, such exchanges became impractical.
F．During that time, for example, buying a chicken might cost several potatoes.
G．The very first coins often had holes in them so that people could tie them together.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，文章主要按照时间顺序讲述了中国和世界上其他国家货币发展的历史。
1．F 根据设空前一句“people used many different kinds of things for buying and selling”及设空后一句“This exchange of goods and services for other goods and services is called bartering (物物交换)”可知，此处主要讲的是“物物交换”，F选项中“buying a chicken might cost several potatoes”是“物物交换”的一个例子，符合上下文语境，故选F项。
2．E 由前文可知，本文第一段讲的是“物物交换”；由设空下一句“In 1200 BC, people in China began to use shells (贝壳) as money. Usually the shells used as money were very small.”可知，第二段讲的是“贝壳作为货币的使用”，故此空的作用是承上启下。E项中的“such exchanges”与第一段句末的“This exchange”相呼应，选项中的“However”以及“impractical”表明物物交换有局限性，所以出现更加方便携带的贝壳货币，符合上下文语境，故选E项。
3．C 根据设空前一句“many other countries around the world began to do the same”可知，许多其他国家也开始这样做了。to do the same指的就是“也开始用贝壳买卖”，故C项(他们也使用小贝壳作为货币进行买卖)符合上下文语境，故选C项。
4．G 根据设空前一句“It wasn't long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal.”可知，中国出现了金属的圆形钱币；根据设空下一句“By 500 BC, metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece, and later in the Roman Empire.”可知，到公元前500年这种金属钱币开始在其他国家出现。故G项(这种首次出现的钱币中经常有孔以便人们把它们串起来。)符合上下文语境，故选G项。
5．D 根据空前句“the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese people”可知，此处讲到了纸币的出现，故D项(很多年后纸币才出现在欧洲。)符合上下文语境，故选D项。
Ⅲ 语法填空
Two weeks after the popular show Chinese Poetry Conference, a new program, Reader (朗读者), has become much __1__ (popular) than it.
The weekly talk show, hosted by the famous hostess Dong Qing, invites people from all walks of life __2__ (read) aloud poems, essays and book excerpts (节选) they like or wrote. The guests who join __3__ it also share their own life stories and explain the reason why particular pieces touched their hearts. Viewers can often be moved to tears __4__ they listen to those stories.
Three days after its first broadcast on CCTV－1, Readers has been __5__ (great) successful and interested thousands of people. Through the poetic words, Readers has made __6__ public pay attention to the __7__ (lose) habit of reading aloud. Readers is one of the cultural TV __8__ (program) to restore (恢复) the country's love for literature. Its success is very __9__ (encourage) in today's television world where TV series __10__ (play) a leading part so far.
1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5．________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9．________ 10.________
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了继《中国诗词大会》后，《朗读者》节目又掀起了国人对文学的热爱。
1．more popular 考查形容词的比较级。句意：受欢迎的节目《中国诗词大会》(播出)两周后，一档新节目《朗读者》已经变得比它更受欢迎。根据空后的than可知，本空应用比较级形式。
2．to read 考查非谓语动词。句意：这个由女主持人董卿主持的周播节目邀请来自各行各业的人朗读他们喜欢或写的诗歌、短文和书的节选。invite sb. to do sth.意为“邀请某人做某事”，故本空应用不定式作宾补。
3．in 考查介词。句意：参加节目的客人们还分享了他们自己的生活故事，并解释了某些片段打动他们心灵的原因。join in意为“参加…… ”，后常跟某些活动，本句表示 “参加《朗读者》”这个节目，故本空应填介词in。
4．when 考查状语从句。句意：当观众听到这些故事时，常常会感动得流泪。根据句意可知，本空应用when引导时间状语从句。
5．greatly 考查词性转换。句意：在CCTV－1首次播出三天后，《朗读者》获得了巨大的成功，吸引了成千上万的人。本空修饰形容词successful，故应用副词greatly。
6．the 考查冠词。句意：通过诗意的文字，《朗读者》已经让公众注意到了已经丢失的大声朗读的习惯。the public意为“大众，公众”，故本空应填定冠词the。
7．lost 考查词性转换。本空修饰名词habit，故应用过去分词转化的形容词lost “失去的；丧失的”。
8．programs 考查名词。句意：《朗读者》是旨在恢复国人对文学热爱的文化电视节目之一。one of后接可数名词复数形式，表示“……之一”，故本空应用名词复数形式programs。
9．encouraging 考查词性转换。句意：在目前以连续剧为主角的电视世界中，《朗读者》的成功是令人鼓舞的。本空在句中作表语，根据空格前副词very可知，本空应用形容词encouraging “令人鼓舞的”。
10．have played 考查动词的时态。根据so far可知，本空应用现在完成时。
Ⅳ 读后续写
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Laurie sat quietly in the empty dressing room at the ice?skating rink (溜冰场). She had not been skating in any competition since her_left_knee was badly injured in an accident six months ago. As she waited for her turn to skate, Laurie was very nervous. She knew that today was a very important day in her comeback.
“If I can win today，” she thought, “I can skate in the World Cup next year and then maybe I can make it to the Olympics.”
Laurie was just told that she had a tough competition this year, a girl from Connecticut named Jinny Jordan who was really strong in everything. “She is the one you have to beat this year.” the coach said.
Minutes later, the door opened and Laurie saw a young woman who was about her own age. The young woman dumped some of her belongings onto a chair. The bag fell to the floor with a thud (砰的一声)．
Laurie felt uncomfortable as she looked at Jinny. “So this is my competition，” thought Laurie. “Because of her, I may lose tonight.”
“This costume(服装)was my mom's idea，” Jinny started the conversation, looking down at her red white, and blue skating dress. “I look like a flag.”
Laurie couldn't keep from smiling. She pointed to Jinny's skating bag. “Some stuff fell out of your bag.” Laurie said.
Jinny looked at the clothing and equipment that lay scattered on the floor. As she began to gather her belongings, the door opened.
“Jinny，” called someone, “You'd better give the tape of your music to the sound engineer right away.”
“I thought I gave him my music_tape an hour ago，\” said Jinny. “Tell him it's the green_box with my initials (姓名的首字母) written in white in the right?hand corner.”
“He said you never gave it to him and he's getting angry.”
“Then I don't know what I did with it，” said Jinny, hurrying out.
Laurie knew that music was nearly as important to the program as skating itself. If she lost her music tape, she might as well forget about skating. Laurie stood up and walked to the chair to do a few more knee bends.
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1：
Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table.
Paragraph 2：
Feeling relieved, Laurie skated quickly to the center of the rink after the announcer finally called her name.
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Laurie六个月前因为左膝严重受伤不能参加任何滑冰比赛，今天是她第一次复出，但她遇到了强劲的对手Jinny。Jinny正准备上场比赛，而此时她被告知她参赛要用的那盘绿色盒子的音乐伴奏带还未交上，而音乐伴奏带对于滑冰运动员参赛十分重要。
[精彩范文]
Paragraph 1：
Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table. She pulled it out, and saw the white Initials J．J. in the top right?hand corner. “It's Jinny's music_tape！” She exclaimed. Laurie's heart started beating fast. “All I'd have to do is forget that I found this，” she thought. “If Jinny doesn't have her music, she might as well not skate. And then I would win.” Laurie shivered slightly as she thought about this. Then she wondered, “Does winning mean so much to me that I'd be willing to cheat for it？” She walked to the door and called Jinny loudly.
Paragraph 2：
Feeling relieved, Laurie skated quickly to the center of the rink after the announcer finally called her name. The music filled the stadium and she skated gracefully and beautifully. Her_left_knee was fine and she felt herself gliding on the ice. The audience applauded from time to time, enthusiastically supporting her in her comeback. When she finished, her coach ran up to her and hugged her. “You did it, Laurie！” She said. Laurie smiled and thought about Jinny's music tape. “No one will ever know how close I really came to losing.” She said softly to herself.

尊敬的编辑，
在过去的三年里，我们都在外面吃年夜饭，我们在外面享用年夜饭和在家里感觉一样好。我不明白为什么有些人拒绝接受改变。
他们难道不能承认团圆饭的准备工作很辛苦吗？我真的认为花这么多时间准备一顿饭，然后在结束后再花一个小时收拾残局是不值得的。我们一年都在工作，为什么不能有一天和家人在一起放松呢？
外出就餐是个不错的选择，这与传统的丢失无关。我们仍然和同样的人一起吃饭，只是在不同的地方。不用那么累人的烹调，这个时刻就更让人愉快了，而且菜肴味道更好！
在我看来，我们在除夕吃什么或在哪里吃并不重要。外出就餐可能会改变传统的形式，但是坐在一起的家庭成员之间的爱仍然是一样的。
王鹏，软件工程师
尊敬的编辑，
今年的春节家庭晚餐，我儿子在镇上最好的餐馆订了位子，但我有点不高兴。对我来说，外出吃饭感觉不像是过春节。
当我还是个小男孩的时候，年夜饭是我最期待的。不仅是因为有我们很少吃到美味的食物，而且因为有机会让我们全家聚在一起。我会在房子里跑来跑去，听大人谈论他们这一年。我会在厨房围着妈妈转，看她包饺子。她会在一些饺子里放些象征性的东西：糖果代表甜蜜的生活，花生代表健康长寿。晚上，我们大家围坐在桌子旁，享受着食物和再次相聚。我们举杯相庆，我们说说笑笑，简单的家常菜比任何顶级厨师做的菜都好吃。
我希望我的孩子们和他们的孩子们仍然珍视我们一起准备年夜饭的记忆。对我来说，这个过程比晚餐本身更重要。

Flying kites
Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. __2__. For example, the swallow?shaped kite is a well?known Beijing style.
Playing hide?and?seek
Hide?and?seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. Even nowadays, many children like playing it. There are two ways to play. One way is covering a child's eyes while other kids run around to tease (戏弄) him. __3__.
__4__
The closest thing to watching a film or television for entertainment during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. Folk artists manipulate puppets behind the screen, narrating stories and accompanied by music.
Setting off firecrackers (鞭炮)
Firecrackers have a history of more than 2,000 years. It is said that there was a beast (野兽) named Nian in ancient China. __5__. After gunpowder was invented, it gradually replaced the bamboo joint cracker. Crackers are still set off during Spring Festival to symbolize auspiciousness (吉利)．
A．Watching shadow plays
B．Each of them has special features
C．Different materials are used to make the kite
D．Shadow plays were the popular entertaining form in ancient times
E．And to scare off the beast, people burnt bamboo joints to make it blast
F．More commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them
G．Instead, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了四种中国古代的儿童游戏。
1．G 根据设空前一句“Unlike the children nowadays, the children during ancient times didn't have smart phone, iPad or computer to entertain (娱乐) themselves.”可知，不像现在的孩子，古代的孩子没有智能手机、iPad或电脑来娱乐。故G选项(相反，在他们的童年，他们想出了有趣的游戏来玩耍。)承接上句，符合语境。
2．B 根据设空前一句“Nowadays, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite.”可知，现在最著名的三种风筝是北京风筝、天津风筝和潍坊风筝。根据设空下一句“the swallow?shaped kite is a well?known Beijing style.”可知，燕子形的风筝是著名的北京风格。故B选项(它们都有各自的特点。)承接上下句，符合语境。
3．F 根据设空前的“There are two ways to play. One way is covering a child's eyes while other kids run around to tease (戏弄) him.”可知，有两种玩法，设空处应具体谈及另一种捉迷藏的玩法。F项(更常见的情况是，参与者躲起来，一个孩子必须设法找到他们。)承接上文。
4．A 本空属于段落标题句。根据该段描述可知，在古代，与看电影或电视最接近的娱乐方式就是看皮影戏。民间艺人在幕后操纵木偶，讲故事，配以音乐。说明本段标题应和“看皮影戏”有关，结合其他三个小标题的形式，故选A项。
5．E 根据设空前一句“It is said that there was a beast (野兽) named Nian in ancient China.”可知，据说中国古代有一只叫年的野兽。根据设空下一句“After gunpowder was invented, it gradually replaced the bamboo joint cracker.”可知，火药发明后，逐渐取代了竹节爆竹。E项(为了吓跑这头野兽，人们烧了竹节使它爆炸。)承接上下句。
Ⅲ 语法填空
Mid?Autumn Festival is a harvest festival __1__ (celebrate) in most East Asian countries, such as China and Vietnam. The festival __2__ (take) places on month 8 day 15 of the Chinese calendar. In 2019 it's on September 13th.

1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5．________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9．________ 10.________
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。中秋节是庆祝丰收的节日，中国人用许多传统而有意义的活动来庆祝中秋节。对中国人来说，中秋节意味着一家团聚、祥和。
1．celebrated 考查非谓语动词。句意：中秋节是一个丰收的节日，大多数东亚国家都庆祝它，如中国和越南。celebrate的逻辑主语是harvest festival，二者之间为被动关系，故要用过去分词celebrated。
2．takes 考查动词的时态。句意：这个节日在中国农历的八月十五日。本句叙述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，且主语是The festival，故谓语动词应用第三人称单数，故填takes。
3．the 考查冠词。句意：它是中国仅次于春节的第二个最重要的节日。序数词second前要加定冠词the。
4．biggest 考查形容词的最高级。句意：它也被称为“中秋节”，因为庆祝中秋节时，大家认为月亮是最大和最圆的。根据and后的fullest，可知本空应用big的最高级biggest。
5．with 考查介词。句意：中国人用许多传统而有意义的活动来庆祝中秋节。分析语境可知，本句要用介词with，表示“用”。
6．has been 考查动词的时态。句意：自2008年以来，中秋节在中国大陆已经成为为期三天的公共假期。根据时间状语Since 2008可知，本句应用现在完成时，且主语Mid?Autumn Festival为单数，故本空应填 has been。
7．travelling 考查非谓语动词。句意：年轻一代更喜欢旅行、上网、使用智能手机应用程序和家人一起庆祝。prefer doing sth.意为“更愿意做某事，更喜欢做某事”，故本空应用动名词travelling，与surfing, using并列，作prefer的宾语。
8．happiness 考查词性转换。句意：中国人把圆圆的月饼看作是团圆和幸福的象征。根据and前的名词reunion可知，本句应填名词happiness作介词of的宾语。
9．their 考查代词。句意：年轻一代对应该吃什么有自己的想法。本空修饰名词ideas，故应用形容词性物主代词their。
10．what 考查宾语从句。句意：大多数人不喜欢月饼，喜欢吃自己喜欢的东西。分析句子可知，eat后面的宾语从句中的动词like缺少宾语，意为“所……的东西”，故本空应填what。
Ⅳ 概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
What is eco?fashion? Eco?fashion is about making clothes that considers the environment, the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry.
A closer look at the fashion industry points out many problems that are common practices in the creation of our fashions from the field to the factory. Firstly, the production of textiles pollutes the environment heavily. Cotton?planting uses pesticides; sheep?farming and wool?cleaning bring about global warming. Secondly, every stage of clothing production consumes a great deal of energy and some also involve chemicals which obviously do harm to the surroundings. In addition, there is a lot of waste produced in the process, especially in the form of polluted water. Thirdly, growing purchasing power and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects. We are now buying clothes in increasing quantities and we are also quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times.
Then, how to solve the problem? To a large degree, it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future. There are a great many ways these producers can reduce their ecological footprint, from switching to green energy and reducing energy use, through selecting sustainable materials and choosing local suppliers, to recycling and minimizing waste. On the other hand, as consumers we can all play our part by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing buying.
There is some concern that eco?friendly fashions are just a trend that we will eventually grow tired of but we can make sure that doesn't happen. Now many people are beginning to shop for organic food products because the benefits of eating food free of chemicals are immediate. They relate directly to our personal health. In fact, choosing eco?fashion can also do good to our personal health, though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet.
写前导读：本文是一篇说明文，阐述了生态时尚的定义，传统时装产品的问题，解决这些问题的措施，以及生态时尚的益处。

Dear editor，
In recent years, people in most cities are not allowed to light fireworks and crackers during the Spring Festival. And I'm in favour of the policy.
First, fireworks and crackers will cause air pollution. When firework is set off, it will produce lots of sulfur dioxide which is very harmful to our environment. Second, fireworks and crackers are very dangerous. Not only do fireworks and crackers often cause injury to people but also cause fire accidents.
All in all, I think it is reasonable to ban lighting fireworks and crackers.
Yours sincerely，
