传统节日 中秋节（素材+时文阅读+语法填空+书面表达）
第一部分 话题素材积累
Falling on the 15th day of the 8th month according to the Chinese lunar calendar, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the second grandest festival in China after the Chinese New Year. It takes its name from the fact that it is always celebrated in the middle of the autumn season. The day is also known as the Moon Festival, as at that time of the year the moon is at its roundest and brightest.
农历八月十五的中秋节，是春节之后的第二大节日。人们总是在秋季中旬举行庆祝活动，中秋节的名字由此而来。这一天也被称为月亮节，因为在一年的这个时候，月亮是最圆最亮的。
The mooncake is the special food of the Mid-Autumn Festival. On that day, people sacrifice mooncakes to the moon as an offering and eat them for celebration. The mooncakes are round, symbolizing the reunion of a family, so it is easy to understand how eating mooncakes under the round moon can evoke longing for distant relatives and friends.
月饼是中秋节的特色食品。在那一天，人们把月饼作为祭品献给月亮并吃月饼来庆祝。月饼是圆的，象征着家庭团圆，所以不难理解在圆月下吃月饼可以唤起对远方亲人和朋友的思念。
Due to the different diet habits in different regions, mooncakes vary in taste. Traditional flavors include fillings of five kernels, egg yolks, mashed dates and mashed beans. Now there are new fillings like ice cream and durians. Although the flavour of mooncakes is changing, the symbolic meaning of the full moon remains unchanged and the Chinese custom of eating mooncakes and longing for reunions during the Mid-Autumn Festival will never fade away.
因各地饮食习俗不同，月饼的口味五花八门，包括传统的五仁、蛋黄、枣泥和豆沙。如今还演变出冰激凌、榴莲月饼等等。虽然月饼的口味在变，但圆月的寓意一直未变，中国人吃月饼的习俗和对中秋团圆的期盼也从未消失。
Due to frequent communication with other countries and migrations of Chinese people, the Mid-Autumn Festival has become popular in other parts of the world.
由于与其他国家的频繁交流和中国人口的迁移，中秋节在世界其他地方也变得流行起来。
Why Mid-Autumn Festival is Celebrated and How it Started？
中秋节起源
Mid-Autumn Festival has a history of over 3,000 years, dating back to moon worship in the Shang Dynasty (1600–1046 BC). It’s such an important festival that many poems were written about it, stories and legends about the festival are widespread, and its origins have been guessed at and explained by generations of Chinese.
中秋节有三千多年历史，可以追溯到商代时对月亮的崇拜。因为中秋节的重要地位，历代诗人都会为中秋节写诗，关于中秋节的故事、传奇在民间广为流传，中秋节的起源也被历代中国人探究。
The term "Mid-Autumn" first appeared in the book Rites of Zhou (周礼), written in the Warring States Period (475–221 BC). But the term only related to the time and season; the festival didn't exist at that point.
“中秋”一词最早出现在战国时期《周礼》一书中，但是该词只和时间和季节有关，当时还没有中秋节。
In the Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD), it was popular to appreciate the moon. Many poets liked to create poems related to the moon when appreciating it. There is a legend that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty visited the Moon Palace in his dream and heard a wonderful song.
唐代时赏月风靡，诗人在赏月之时佳作连连。据传，唐玄宗曾在梦中去往月宫并听到优美的歌声。
In the Northern Song Dynasty (960–1127 AD), the 15th day of the 8th lunar month was established as the "Mid-Autumn Festival". From then on, sacrificing to the moon was very popular, and has become a custom ever since.
北宋时期，农历八月十五才被正式确立为中秋节，从那以后，为月亮献祭盛行，从那以后便成为风俗。
第二部分 时文阅读
A
Chinese mooncake is the representative food of the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is a kind of round cookie with various fillings and different artistic patterns on the surface.
In Chinese culture, roundness symbolizes completeness and togetherness. The mooncake is not just a food. It’s a cultural tradition deep in Chinese people’s hearts, symbolizing a spiritual feeling. At Mid-Autumn Festival, people eat mooncakes together with family, and present mooncakes to relatives or friends to express love and best wishes.
As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties in what today are Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in east China, there was a kind of “Taishi cake” thick at the center and thin at the edge, which was the origin of the mooncake. In the Han Dynasty, sesame (芝麻) and walnuts were introduced into China, and round cookies filled with these foods appeared. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the name “mooncake” was used for the first time. In the Northern Song Dynasty, mooncakes got popular in the royal palace. In the Ming Dynasty, the custom of eating these cookies during the Mid-Autumn Festival became popular.
Mooncakes vary according to different regional styles and tastes. Cantonese-style mooncakes are known for their sweetness. Suzhou-style mooncakes have existed for more than a thousand years. They have soft layers of dough (面团) and lots of sugar and lard, making them available in sweet or salty tastes. Beijing-style mooncakes use sweetness delicately and are decorated well. Chaoshan-style mooncakes are usually larger than other mooncakes with common fillings of red bean paste and potato paste.
Most mooncakes contain high amounts of sugar and oil, which are not healthy. To decrease the harmfulness that high fat and calories bring to our body, some foods are recommended to eat together with mooncakes, including tea, sour fruit like grapes, and wine. They help digest and take away fat in our body. Also, do not eat too much at one time.

To add to their beauty, Zigong artisans also use a variety of materials, such as silk, paper, bamboo, straw, cocoon and even porcelain.

The skillful hands of Zigong craftsmen have also taken this national intangible heritage abroad, staging views of color and delight at lantern shows in more than 70 countries and regions worldwide. 9 .

【参考答案】
时文阅读
1．B 2．B 3．D 4．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国中秋节的代表食品——月饼，讲述了月饼的起源、风格、口味等相关信息。
1．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties in what today are Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in east China, there was a kind of “Taishi cake” thick at the center and thin at the edge, which was the origin of the mooncake. In the Han Dynasty, sesame (芝麻) and walnuts were introduced into China, and round cookies filled with these foods appeared. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the name “mooncake” was used for the first time. In the Northern Song Dynasty, mooncakes got popular in the royal palace. In the Ming Dynasty, the custom of eating these cookies during the Mid-Autumn Festival became popular.(早在商周时期，在今天中国东部的江浙两省，就有一种中厚边薄的“太师饼”，这就是月饼的起源。在汉代，芝麻和核桃被引入中国，并出现了用这些食物填充的圆形饼干。直到唐朝，“月饼”这个名字才第一次被使用。在北宋时期，月饼在皇宫中流行起来。在明代，中秋节吃这些饼干的习俗开始流行。)”可知，第三段主要讲述的是月饼的由来。故选B。
2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the name “mooncake” was used for the first time.(直到唐朝，“月饼”这个名字才第一次被使用。)”可知，“月饼”这个名字第一次使用是在唐朝。故选B。
3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Beijing-style mooncakes use sweetness delicately and are decorated well.(京式月饼用甜精致，装饰精美。)”可知，京式月饼的装饰精美。故选D。
4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Most mooncakes contain high amounts of sugar and oil, which are not healthy. To decrease the harmfulness that high fat and calories bring to our body, some foods are recommended to eat together with mooncakes, including tea, sour fruit like grapes, and wine. They help digest and take away fat in our body. Also, do not eat too much at one time.(大多数月饼含有大量的糖和油，这是不健康的。为了减少高脂肪和高热量对我们身体的危害，一些食物被建议和月饼一起吃，包括茶，酸的水果，如葡萄，和酒。它们有助于消化和带走我们体内的脂肪。另外，一次不要吃太多。)”可知，最后一段主要讲述的是大多数的月饼由于含有大量的糖和油，并不健康，因此作者建议吃月饼的时候可以一起食用茶、酸的水果等，因为这些食物有助于消化和带走我们体内的脂肪。由此推断，最后一段主要是告诉人们如何健康地吃月饼。故选C。
5．A 6．B 7．E 8．D 9．G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统文化习俗：赏灯。
5．前一句“Like a lighthouse that lights up the way home, it is customary to admire the charm of lanterns during Lantern Festival and Mid -Autumn Festival.(就像灯塔照亮回家的路，人们习惯在元宵节和中秋节欣赏灯笼的魅力)”提到“在元宵节和中秋节，人们一般都要赏灯”，A项“这两个节日庆祝团圆”承接上一句，these two festivals指代Lantern Festival and Mid -Autumn Festival。故选A。
6．前文“Lantern shows are held throughout the country on such occasions. Yuyuan Lantern Show in Shanghai and Qinhuai Lantern Show in Nanjing, East China’s Jiangsu province, are two notable shows.(在这种场合，全国各地都会举行灯展。上海豫园灯展和中国东部江苏省南京市秦淮灯展是两个著名的灯展)”讲述了各地的灯展，列举了上海豫园和南京秦淮灯展，B项“在东北，节目都是在冰雪上举行的”符号语境，继续举例说明灯展的举行，与下一句“On such occasions, ice sculptures create a fairy tale of light and color.(在这样的场合，冰雕用灯光和色彩创造了一个五彩缤纷的童话世界)”构成逻辑上的承接关系。故选B。
7．下文“To add to their beauty, Zigong artisans also use a variety of materials, such as silk, paper, bamboo, straw, cocoon and even porcelain.(了增加它们的美感，自贡工匠还使用各种材料，如丝绸，纸，竹子，稻草，蚕茧甚至瓷器)”陈述了制作彩灯的材料，E项“大多数中国灯笼都是用金属丝和织物做成的”符合语境，说明了传统彩灯的制作材料，下一句进一步突出自贡彩灯在传统工艺的基础上又使用了一些其他的材料来增加美感。故选E。
8．上文“Lantern production is now a driving force for the local economy, as most of large-scale lanterns used in festive shows are produced in Zigong.(灯笼制作现在是当地经济的推动力，因为节日表演中使用的大多数大型灯笼都是自贡生产的)”说明了自贡的灯笼制作业推断了经济，下文“Visitors crowd into Zigong to enjoy lanterns, as well as a variety of other recreational activities.(游客涌入自贡赏花灯，以及各种其他娱乐活动)”讲述了自贡的花灯，因此推断D项“自贡灯展也是该市旅游的一大亮点”符合语境，呈上启下，说明了自贡的灯笼制作很好，自贡彩灯节是本市的一个旅游亮点，游客涌入自贡赏灯。故选D。
9．前一句“The skillful hands of Zigong craftsmen have also taken this national intangible heritage abroad, staging views of color and delight at lantern shows in more than 70 countries and regions worldwide.(自贡工匠的巧手也将这一国家级非物质遗产带到了国外，在全球70多个国家和地区的灯展上展示了色彩和欢乐的景象)”提到自贡的彩灯秀已经被带到了国外，G项“一年一度的自贡灯会现在已经成为他们家乡和祖国的名片”符合语境，说明自贡彩灯秀也成为本市和祖国的一张名片与前文是递进关系。故选G。

20．考查名词。句意：由于中秋节最初是从对月亮神的崇拜开始的，许多有趣的故事和传说被讲述和传播，以解释崇拜的目的。空前是形容词，所以空处应填名词作主语，根据空前的many可知，用可数名词复数形式。故填stories。
21．考查非谓语动词。句意：由于中秋节最初是从对月亮神的崇拜开始的，许多有趣的故事和传说被讲述和传播，以解释崇拜的目的。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词are told and spread，所以explain用非谓语形式，此处表目的，用不定式作目的状语，故填to explain。
22．考查动词时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：嫦娥的丈夫后羿因为射下了额外的九个太阳而得到了长生不老药，而这九个太阳折磨了很多人。分析句子结构可知，reward作本句谓语，和主语Chang’e’s husband Hou Yi之间是被动关系，用被动语态，描述的是已发生的事，用一般过去时，主语是第三人称单数。故填was rewarded。
