Ⅲ.阅读理解
(共5小题；每小题4分，满分20分)
In
the
past,
working
people
in
Britain
only
had
holidays
on
“holy(神圣的)”
(religious)
days:
Sundays,
Christmas
and
Easter(复活节).
Now
most
people
have
about
four
weeks
of
holiday
time
every
year
plus
public
holidays
(also
called
“bank
holidays”)．
When?
Most
British
workers
take
a
two?week
holiday
in
July
or
August.
Schoolchildren
are
on
holiday
from
the
end
of
July
to
the
start
of
September.
Taking
a
second
holiday
break
in
winter
or
spring
is
also
becoming
more
popular
in
the
UK.
Where?
The
most
popular
holiday
destinations(目的地)
for
the
British
include
Spain,
France,
Greece
and
the
US.
Lots
of
people
buy
a
package
holiday
that
includes
flights
and
a
hotel
or
an
apartment(公寓).
Cheap
overseas
flights
mean
that
many
British
people
are
able
to
spend
two
weeks
a
year
vacationing
abroad.
Flights
and
package
holidays
are
much
cheaper
during
school
terms
and
the
British
government
is
worried
that
some
young
people
are
skipping
school(逃课)
to
go
on
holiday.
Parents
who
take
their
children
on
vacation
during
term
time
must
now
pay
a
fine.
British
people
also
like
to
go
on
holiday
in
the
UK.
They
might
go
to
England,
Northern
Ireland,
Scotland
or
Wales.
In
Cornwall(康沃尔),
for
example,
there
is
an
environmental
project
called
the
Eden
Project.
You
can
see
plants
from
all
over
the
world
there.
Independent(独立的)
holidays
Some
teenagers
want
to
spend
their
holidays
doing
something
without
their
family.
A
language
exchange
is
one
way
to
become
more
independent
and
improve
one's
language
skills.
A
British
teenager
might
spend
a
week
or
two
in
a
foreign
country,
staying
with
a
family
who
has
a
son
or
daughter
of
the
same
age
and

Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)
The
Chongyang
Festival
falls
on
the
ninth
day
of
the
ninth
lunar
month
and
is
also
called
the
Double
Ninth
Festival.
As
both
the
month
and
the
day
are
nine,
it
got
this
name.
To
celebrate
the
day,
people
usually
climb
mountains
and
enjoy
chrysanthemum(菊花),
so
the
festival
is
also
known
as
the
Height
Ascending(登高)
Festival
or
the
Chrysanthemum
Festival.
In
China,
nine
has
the
similar
pronunciation
with
the
word
“forever”，
meaning
long
life.
So
the
Chinese
government
set
the
day
as
the
Seniors'
Day.
The
festival
has
a
history
of
over
2，000
years.
During
the
Warring
States
Period,
there
was
the
Chongyang
Festival.
But
it
was
only
celebrated
in
the
imperial
palace.
From
the
Han
Dynasty,
it
began
to
be
popular
among
the
common
people.
The
name
of
the
Chongyang
Festival
first
appeared
in
the
Three
Kingdoms
Period.
During
the
Jin
Dynasty,
there
were
customs
of
enjoying
chrysanthemum
and
drinking
wine
on
the
day.
It
was
not
(A)officially
set
as
a
festival
until
the
Tang
Dynasty.
Since
then,
all
the
people
have
spent
the
festival
with
kinds
of
activities.
In
the
Ming
and
Qing
Dynasties,
people
in
the
imperial
palace
all
ate
flower
cakes
to
celebrate.
The
emperor
climbed
the
mountain
on
the
day
as
well.
In
1989,
the
Chinese
government
set
the
day
as
the
Seniors'
Day.
As
September
has
the
clear
sky
and
fresh
air,
it
is
a
very
good
time
to
climb
the
mountain.
There
will
be
a
sense
of
excitement
by
climbing
the
mountain
in
this
season.
Also,
it
is
good
for
health.
Since
the
Western
Han
Dynasty,
it
has
been
the
custom
of
climbing
on
the
Chongyang
Festival.
On
the
day,
enjoying
chrysanthemum
is
very
popular
as
the
flower
means
long
life.
Drinking
chrysanthemum
is
regarded
as
a
way
to
prevent
disasters
and
bad
things.
Inserting
Zhuyu
and
sticking
chrysanthemum
are
also
traditions
to
avoid
the
bad
as
(B)they
have
special
smells
which
can
repel(驱逐)
insects
and
keep
out
the
cold.
Eating
Chongyang
cakes
is
another
tradition
on
the
festival.
There
is
no
fixed
way
of
the
cake
but
the
one
with
nine
layers(层)
with
two
sheep
on
it
is
the
best.
Two
sheep
means
Chongyang.
Nine
layers
show
people
could
do
well
in
everything.

26．How
many
other
names
does
the
Chongyang
Festival
have?

version：
Dear
Mike，
Glad
to
hear
from
you.
I'd
like
to
tell
you
something
about
Chinese
Dragon
Boat
Festival
and
how
I
spent
it
this
year.
The
Dragon
Boat
Festival
falls
on
May
5th
every
year
according
to
the
Chinese
lunar
calendar.
People
all
over
China
eat
zongzi
and
dragon
boat
races
are
held
in
many
places
to
remember
a
great
ancient
poet—Qu
Yuan.
We
had
three
days
off
for
this
festival
this
year.
During
this
holiday,
I
went
for
a
picnic
in
the
countryside
with
my
good
friends,
and,
of
course,
ate
zongzi
with
my
family.
I
also
watched
the
dragon
boat
races
on
TV.
I
enjoyed
the
holiday
very
much.
I
hope
you
can
come
to
China
next
year
and
spend
the
festival
with
me.
Best
wishes.
Yours，
Li
Hua
