The Fallas Festival (法雅节) in Spain
It is sometimes strange how world-famous festivals are started.1.　　　 It takes place every March in Valencia of Spain.
Centuries ago,the city’s carpenters would empty their houses of all the old wood they had saved during the winter and burn it all in the local square.Over time,the carpenters began to use their old wood to carve different images.2.　　　 Everyone would come to take a look and everything would be burnt.
The Fallas Festival is now one of the most popular festivals in Spain.3.　　　 Today,350 communities that make up Valencia work together to design and make two sculptures.These larger-than-life sculptures,often several metres high,are still made of wood,but also include cardboard.On the 15th of March,the sculptures are paraded around the city.
4.　　　 These will not be burnt at the end of the festival.Instead,they are saved and placed in the local museum,which is open throughout the year.During the festival,there are lots of different community activities.Every activity ends with fireworks being let off during both the day and night.
The Fallas Festival always brings communities together.On the final night,all the sculptures are collected and put on a bonfire (大火堆) in the main Valencia square.The fire is lit and all the year’s hard work comes to an end in towers of flames.5.　　
A.The Fallas Festival is an exception.
B.Everyone would participate in carving.
C.This is especially true with the Fallas Festival.
D.A competition is run where the best sculptures are chosen.
E.It also attracts people from all over the world to watch and take part.
F.Sometimes they would create funny images of famous people.
G.Everyone watching says goodbye to winter and welcome to spring.

I just marked my first Mid-Autumn Festival celebration in China.Exactly a week after arriving for my graduate studies,I was kind of homesick—memories of past 　1　 back in Serbia (塞尔维亚) with my family and friends exchanging scenes in my mind.On the morning of Friday,13 September,the 　2　 on the campus was very cheerful.Chinese students explained to us the importance of the day as gifts of mooncakes were 　3　.Then came the night.The full moon appeared:a huge ball high above the campus,and eyes looked at it with 　4　.Unlike previous nights,a cool breeze swept through the campus.With Serbian music playing on my headphones,I danced my way,　5　 in the wind,and forgetting myself for a moment.

Eventually,Su asked his family to join him in　9　 the perfection of a full moon in a 　10　 night.What a way to finish! I was also hoping that all was well with my family.Despite the distance and anxiety that comes with not seeing or hearing from a loved one,we were all flourishing (繁盛的) under the watch of the 　11　 moon.
And while we may go away from home,as happens from time to time; the family remains the most important　12　 to our productive existence.As the Chinese used the holiday to 　13　 with the loved ones,the Serbian community also got together,shared a meal and walked on the streets under the neon lights (霓虹灯).
As I write this,a day after the festival,I cannot help but look forward to the next.Thank my Chinese friends,whose　14　 made me and a crowd of other foreign students experience a(n)

The Torch Festival is a traditional festival celebrated among some ethnic groups in southwestern China,such as the Yi,Bai,Hani,Lisu,Naxi,Pumi and Lahu,etc.It usually falls on the 24th of June,with three days of celebrations.The origin (起源) of the festival may have something to do with the worship of fire by ancestors (祖先),who believed fire had the power to drive away insects and protect crop growth.For some ethnic groups,it’s a tradition in the festival for elders to share farming experience with young people and educate them on taking care of crops.
During the festival,big torches are made to stand in all villages,with small torches placed in front of the door of each house.When night falls,the torches are lit and the villages are bright.At the same time,people walk around the fields and houses,holding small torches and placing the torches in the field corners.Inside the villages,young people are singing and dancing around the big torches that keep burning throughout the night.Other activities like horse races,bullfights,etc.are also held during the festival.
In a horse race of the Yi people in Yunnan,torches are used to form hurdles (栏架) for riders to get through.The Hani people in Yunnan traditionally attach fruits to torches with ropes.When the ropes are broken after the torches are lit,people struggle for the fruits for good luck.
For the Lisu people in Sichuan Province,the festival is an occasion for holding grand torch parades.Big torches are carried by the procession (队伍),which is like a fire dragon.If several processions from different directions meet,it’s a tradition to exchange the big torches with one another.

The old Chinese saying “as happy as spending the New Year” might be outdated now in the busy modern world.The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together,like Christmas in the West.But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival have weakened in practice.
Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival.People thought the sputtering (噼啪响) sound could help drive away evil spirits.However,the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security,noise and pollution factors into consideration.
“In recent years,some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival,surrendering to (屈服于) public demand.Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect towards public opinion,” said Zhou Xing,a folklore researcher.
“As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods,the New Year holiday is just like any other.After long workdays,many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest,rather than visiting friends and relatives.The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing.However,many families would like to eat out to save time and energy,” said Li Shunzhi,a resident of Harbin,Heilongjiang Province.
“I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside.My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday,cleaning the house,buying holiday goods and decorating the house with paper cuttings.On New Year’s Eve,the whole family stays up to see the New Year in,and in the days to follow,a series of activities such as lion dancing,dragon lantern dancing,Lantern Festival and temple fairs will be held.Without the ancient traditions,the holiday is nothing to us,” said Zhang Hui,from Hebei Province.
【语篇导读】 本文是议论文。春节是中国人的传统节日,也是最为隆重的节日。然而,许多伴随春节而来的传统习俗在逐渐弱化,甚至消失。

Guessing lantern riddles is an essential part of the Lantern Festival.Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns.If visitors have solutions to the riddles,they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answers.If they are right,they will get a little gift.As the riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom,it has become popular among all social strata.

In the daytime of the festival,people can watch wonderful performances such as a dragon lantern dance,a lion dance,a land boat dance,a yangge dance with walking on stilts (高跷) and beating drums while dancing.Chinese dragons are a symbol of China.They are believed to bring good luck to people.Therefore,the longer the dragon is in the dance,the more luck it will bring to the community.

【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了关于孔明灯的传说,孔明灯的用途、结构、升空过程以及使用时的注意事项。
1.【答案】 were sent
【解析】 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据句中的was可知,句子应用一般过去时,主语sky lanterns与动词send之间是被动关系,所以应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数,be动词用were。故填were sent。

4.【答案】 shaped

5.【答案】 which
【解析】 考查定语从句。本空引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是lanterns,指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。

【解析】 考查名词。根据空前的冠词a可知,本空应用名词height,意为“高度”。故填height。
7.【答案】 shining

8.【答案】 unsafe
【解析】 考查形容词。根据语境可知,此处意为“不安全的”,应用形容词unsafe,作表语。故填unsafe。
9.【答案】 a
【解析】 考查冠词。根据语境可知,空后的must意为“必须做的事”,是可数名词,此处泛指“一件必须做的事”,所以应用不定冠词,must以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。故填a。
10.【答案】 represents
【解析】 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据句中的are可知,句子应用一般现在时,“each of which 10.　　　　(represent) good wishes and blessings”是非限制性定语从句,先行词Sky lanterns指物,each of which表示单数意义,从句谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填represents。 Unit 3　课时作业(三)

The Torch Festival is a traditional festival celebrated among some ethnic groups in southwestern China,such as the Yi,Bai,Hani,Lisu,Naxi,Pumi and Lahu,etc.It usually falls on the 24th of June,with three days of celebrations.The origin (起源) of the festival may have something to do with the worship of fire by ancestors (祖先),who believed fire had the power to drive away insects and protect crop growth.For some ethnic groups,it’s a tradition in the festival for elders to share farming experience with young people and educate them on taking care of crops.
During the festival,big torches are made to stand in all villages,with small torches placed in front of the door of each house.When night falls,the torches are lit and the villages are bright.At the same time,people walk around the fields and houses,holding small torches and placing the torches in the field corners.Inside the villages,young people are singing and dancing around the big torches that keep burning throughout the night.Other activities like horse races,bullfights,etc.are also held during the festival.
In a horse race of the Yi people in Yunnan,torches are used to form hurdles (栏架) for riders to get through.The Hani people in Yunnan traditionally attach fruits to torches with ropes.When the ropes are broken after the torches are lit,people struggle for the fruits for good luck.
For the Lisu people in Sichuan Province,the festival is an occasion for holding grand torch parades.Big torches are carried by the procession (队伍),which is like a fire dragon.If several processions from different directions meet,it’s a tradition to exchange the big torches with one another.

The old Chinese saying “as happy as spending the New Year” might be outdated now in the busy modern world.The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together,like Christmas in the West.But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival have weakened in practice.
Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival.People thought the sputtering (噼啪响) sound could help drive away evil spirits.However,the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security,noise and pollution factors into consideration.
“In recent years,some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival,surrendering to (屈服于) public demand.Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect towards public opinion,” said Zhou Xing,a folklore researcher.
“As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods,the New Year holiday is just like any other.After long workdays,many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest,rather than visiting friends and relatives.The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing.However,many families would like to eat out to save time and energy,” said Li Shunzhi,a resident of Harbin,Heilongjiang Province.
“I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside.My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday,cleaning the house,buying holiday goods and decorating the house with paper cuttings.On New Year’s Eve,the whole family stays up to see the New Year in,and in the days to follow,a series of activities such as lion dancing,dragon lantern dancing,Lantern Festival and temple fairs will be held.Without the ancient traditions,the holiday is nothing to us,” said Zhang Hui,from Hebei Province.

The Fallas Festival (法雅节) in Spain
It is sometimes strange how world-famous festivals are started.1.　　　 It takes place every March in Valencia of Spain.
Centuries ago,the city’s carpenters would empty their houses of all the old wood they had saved during the winter and burn it all in the local square.Over time,the carpenters began to use their old wood to carve different images.2.　　　 Everyone would come to take a look and everything would be burnt.
The Fallas Festival is now one of the most popular festivals in Spain.3.　　　 Today,350 communities that make up Valencia work together to design and make two sculptures.These larger-than-life sculptures,often several metres high,are still made of wood,but also include cardboard.On the 15th of March,the sculptures are paraded around the city.
4.　　　 These will not be burnt at the end of the festival.Instead,they are saved and placed in the local museum,which is open throughout the year.During the festival,there are lots of different community activities.Every activity ends with fireworks being let off during both the day and night.
The Fallas Festival always brings communities together.On the final night,all the sculptures are collected and put on a bonfire (大火堆) in the main Valencia square.The fire is lit and all the year’s hard work comes to an end in towers of flames.5.　　
A.The Fallas Festival is an exception.
B.Everyone would participate in carving.
C.This is especially true with the Fallas Festival.
D.A competition is run where the best sculptures are chosen.
E.It also attracts people from all over the world to watch and take part.
