（2024·南京高一下质检）Dongfang Shuo was a famous minister （大臣） in the Han Dynasty.
　　One day， Dongfang entered the Imperial Garden and found a maid with tears streaming down her face and intending to jump into the well.He hurried up to stop her and asked what happened.It turned out that the maid， named Yuanxiao， hadn’t been able to see her parents since she entered the royal palace.
　　After hearing about her experience， Dongfang assured her that he would figure out a way for her to meet her family.He set up a fortune-telling service outside the palace where he began telling people who came to him that there would be a disastrous fire on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
　　News spread quickly.People in Chang’an city were in a panic and asked for a solution.Dongfang told them that on the 13th day of the first lunar month， the God of Fire would send a fairy in a red dress and people should ask her for mercy.Dongfang also suggested letting every house in the city put up red lanterns and set off firecrackers to pretend that the city was on fire.
　　The emperor was worried and asked Dongfang for advice.Dongfang said，“I heard that the God of Fire loves glutinous rice balls.Don’t you have a maid called Yuanxiao who is good at it？Let her make glutinous rice balls to worship the God of Fire， and on the same day， the whole city can make the glutinous rice balls to pay respect.”
　　On the 15th day of the first lunar month， Chang’an city was crowded with people holding lanterns， and Yuanxiao’s parents were able to meet up with her in the crowds.
　　The emperor was overjoyed and ordered that on the 15th day of the first lunar month every year， people should make glutinous rice balls and hang up lanterns to worship the God of Fire.Because Yuanxiao was so good at it， people started to name the food after her， and from then on the day has been called the Lantern Festival or Yuan Xiao Jie.

　　（2024·重庆高一下月考）The 15th day of the eighth lunar month is the Mid-Autumn Festival.The festival celebrations date back more than 2，000 years.The word Mid-Autumn first appeared in the famous ancient book Zhou Li.It became an established festival during the Song Dynasty， and has become as popular as the Spring Festival since the Ming and Qing dynasties.
　　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.
　　This yearning for the moon among Chinese people can be traced back to a fairytale：“Chang’e Flies to the Moon.” What is the story about？
　　Chang’e is the Chinese goddess of the moon.According to the Chinese mythology， Chang’e’s husband Hou Yi， a brave archer （弓箭手）， was able to shoot down nine suns and saved the planet.As a reward he was given an elixir of immortality （长生不老药）， but Hou Yi asked Chang’e to put it away.
　　After the archer’s epic deeds， he gained instant fame and a large number of people flocked to his home to learn his archery skills.However， an immoral man named Peng Meng was among the people， but only wanted the elixir.
　　One day when Hou Yi was out， the cunning Peng sneaked into the couple’s room to steal the elixir but Chang’e caught him.Peng tried to force Chang’e to hand over the elixir but she swallowed it and started to floated up to the sky， all the way to the moon.Legend has it that she chose to stay on the moon， the closest planet to the Earth， so that she could stay nearer to her husband.
　　Hou Yi was heartbroken by her departure.He immediately set up a table in his garden and laid out Chang’e’s favourite foods to pay tribute （悼念） to her.From then on， people began to worship the moon.
5.How long has the Mid-Autumn Festival been an established festival？（　　）
A.For more than 300 years. B.For more than 600 years.
C.For about 1，000 years. D.For about 2，000 years.
6.Why was Hou Yi given an elixir of immortality？（　　）
A.Because of his instant fame. B.Because of his great contribution.
C.Because of his brilliant archery skills. D.Because of his teaching many people.
7.Which word best describes Peng Meng？（　　）
A.Selfish. B.Stubborn.
C.Intelligent. D.Determined.
8.Why does the author share Chang’e’s story？（　　）
A.To pay tribute to Chang’e and Hou Yi. B.To arouse people’s interest in the moon.
C.To trace the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival. D.To show the long history of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
　　（2024·南昌高一下期末）Every year in November， people look for bargains on Black Friday.But do you know that the same day is also Buy Nothing Day？
　　Black Friday is the day after the American holiday of Thanksgiving， which is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.9.（　　） Over the last 20 years， big retailers have started to offer discounts and bargains on this day， and it has become more and more popular.Last year， people in the USA spent an estimated $54.7 billion between Black Friday and Cyber Monday （the Monday after Thanksgiving， when people often buy more online）.10.（　　） For example， in 2017， people in the UK spent the equivalent of $10.3 billion， in Germany $7.6 billion and in France $6.2 billion.
　　Many of us love to get a bargain， but some feel that events like Black Friday encourage people to buy things that they don’t really need and can’t afford.11.（　　） It is easy to find video online of customers physically fighting each other over bargains.
　　12.（　　） Since 1997， Buy Nothing Day has been held on the same day as Black Friday.The rules are simple.Just don’t buy anything at all for 24 hours.13.（　　） The aim is to make people think more about their spending and to make better decisions about what they buy and where they buy it from.
A.It’s wise to buy nothing on this day.
B.Each country has its own shopping festival.
C.Many people are surprised how difficult this actually is.
D.The idea of Black Friday has also spread around the world.
E.Many people seem to completely lose control of their spending.
F.Instead of buying as much as possible on Black Friday， you could do the opposite.
G.It has long been a popular day for consumers to start shopping for Christmas in America.
Section Ⅰ　Listening and Speaking
Ⅰ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。元宵节是中国的重要传统节日之一，已构成春节习俗的重要内容。关于元宵节的来历，它背后有一个精彩的故事。
1.B　推理判断题。根据第二段可知，这名宫女是因为长期无法见到父母而想跳井自杀，即她非常思念和爱她的父母。
2.C　细节理解题。根据第三、四段可知，东方朔是通过传播一个谣言来实施他的计划的。他原本的目的是让那名宫女和她的父母见面，最后意想不到的结果是元宵节的形成。
3.D　推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，东方朔所做的一切都是为了帮助那名宫女实现她见到父母的心愿，这体现了他的爱心和乐于助人；另外，他能够想出绝妙的点子并去贯彻执行，体现了他的聪明智慧。
4.D　标题归纳题。综合全文可知，按照东方朔的说法，人们本来在准备迎接一场灾难性的大火，最终迎来的却是一次大型的庆祝和狂欢节。因此D项为文章最佳标题。
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了我国著名神话故事——嫦娥奔月，并以此说明中秋节的来历。
5.C　细节理解题。根据第一段可知，从宋朝开始，中秋节成为一个固定的节日。
6.B　推理判断题。根据第四段可知，嫦娥的丈夫后羿是一名勇敢的射手，由于他击落九个太阳并拯救了地球，他得到了长生不老药。
7.A　推理判断题。根据第五、六段可知，蓬蒙是一个自私的人，他拜后羿为师的主要目的是得到长生不老药，后来他偷药被嫦娥发现。
8.C　推理判断题。综合全文可知，本文讲述嫦娥奔月的故事主要是为了说明中秋节的来历。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。黑色星期五在美国非常流行，可是在同一天，西方人还庆祝另一个与其完全相反的节日——Buy Nothing Day。
9.G　上句介绍了黑色星期五，主要提及时间，下文应该对其进一步介绍，故G项符合语境。
10.D　下文举例说明黑色星期五在英国、德国及法国的流行，这正好与D项中的spread around the world相呼应，故D项符合语境。
11.E　上文指出人们喜欢特价商品，下文提及人们对特价商品的争抢，故E项承上启下，符合语境。
12.F　下文开始介绍Buy Nothing Day，这是与Black Friday完全相反的节日，故F项承上启下，符合语境。
13.C　上文介绍了庆祝Buy Nothing Day的方式就是在当天24小时内不购买任何东西，这对很多人来说自然是很难的。故C项符合语境。

（大臣） in the Han Dynasty.
One day， Dongfang entered the Imperial Garden and found a maid with tears streaming down her face and intending to jump into the well.He hurried up to stop her and asked what happened.It turned out that the maid， named Yuanxiao， hadn’t been able to see her parents since she entered the royal palace.
　　After hearing about her experience， Dongfang assured her that he
would figure out a way for her to meet her family.He set up a fortune-
telling service outside the palace where he began telling people who came
to him that there would be a disastrous fire on the 15th day of the first
lunar month.
　　News spread quickly.People in Chang’an city were in a panic and
asked for a solution.Dongfang told them that on the 13th day of the first
lunar month， the God of Fire would send a fairy in a red dress and people
should ask her for mercy.Dongfang also suggested letting every house in
the city put up red lanterns and set off firecrackers to pretend that the city
was on fire.
　　The emperor was worried and asked Dongfang for advice.Dongfang
said，“I heard that the God of Fire loves glutinous rice balls.Don’t you
have a maid called Yuanxiao who is good at it？Let her make glutinous
rice balls to worship the God of Fire， and on the same day， the whole
city can make the glutinous rice balls to pay respect.”
　　On the 15th day of the first lunar month， Chang’an city was
crowded with people holding lanterns， and Yuanxiao’s parents were
able to meet up with her in the crowds.
　　The emperor was overjoyed and ordered that on the 15th day of the
first lunar month every year， people should make glutinous rice balls and
hang up lanterns to worship the God of Fire.Because Yuanxiao was so
good at it， people started to name the food after her， and from then on
the day has been called the Lantern Festival or Yuan Xiao Jie.
