試題分析：這篇短文講述的是中國的一個傳統(tǒng)的節(jié)日—龍?zhí)ь^。它在農歷的二月初二，在這一天有很多古老的習俗，如把路上的灰?guī)У綇N房和水缸的周圍、吃面條和餃子等。在這一天，你還會看到很多人會理發(fā)，因為在農歷一月理發(fā)是不吉利的。
小題1:考查數(shù)詞及語境的理解。句意：龍?zhí)ь^是中國的一個傳統(tǒng)的節(jié)日，它在農歷二月的第二天。first 第一；second 第二；third 第三；fourth第四。根據(jù)常識我們可以知道，龍?zhí)ь^是二月初二，即是農歷二月的第二天。故選B。
小題2:考查介詞及語境的理解。句意：在2014年，它是在三月二日。in 常用在年代、月份的前面，或指在上午、下午或晚上；at 用在具體時刻的前面；during 在……期間；on常用在具體某一天的前面。因為這里是三月二日，是具體的一個日期，故用on，選D。
小題3:考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：古代的時候，在這一天，人們會把路上的灰?guī)У綇N房或水缸的周圍，這是為了把龍引到家里來。lead 帶領，指引。根據(jù)句意可知，人們把灰?guī)У綇N房和水缸周圍是為了把龍引到家里來，表示目的，所以用動詞不定式，選C。
小題4:考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：這一天所有的食物都以龍來命名。name 和call在這里都有命名，叫做……的意思，根據(jù)句意可知，這一天吃的食物都被用龍來名詞，即這里表示被動的意思，故選A，這是一個過去分詞的形式，和空前面的are一起構成被動語態(tài)。
小題5:考查名詞及語境的理解。句意：例如，人們吃的面條叫龍須面，叫做叫龍牙。更加常識可知，在龍?zhí)ь^這一天，人們經常吃面條和餃子，這里的面條和水餃都應該用復數(shù)形式。故選C。
小題6:考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：在中國古代的一些傳說中，龍有著呼風喚雨的力量，他們經常在農歷二月的第二天給世界帶來雨。bring 帶來；take 拿走；carry 攜帶，搬運；lend 借給。根據(jù)句意可知，龍可以把雨帶到這個世界上來。故應該選A。
小題7:考查連詞及語境的理解。句意：據(jù)說在那天之后，就會有越來越多的雨，這就是這一天為什么被叫做春龍節(jié)的原因。because 因為，表示原因；why 為什么，引導的從句表示結果；when 什么時候；that可以引導表語從句，但是在從句中不做成分。根據(jù)句意可知選B。
小題8:考查介詞及語境的理解。句意：人們希望在龍的幫助下，耕種會更容易，到秋天會有一個好收成。under 在……下面；in 在……里面；with 和……一起，帶有；by 通過某種方式。這里是固定的短語with the help of在……的幫助下。故選C。
小題9:考查形容詞及語境的理解。句意：據(jù)說在農歷一月理發(fā)會給家里的舅舅帶來壞運氣。good 好的；bad 壞的；better 更好的；worst最差的。根據(jù)句意可知，這里沒有比較的意思，故排除C和D；根據(jù)下句話的意思可知，在龍?zhí)ь^這一天，人們會理發(fā)，所以在農歷的一月理發(fā)是不好的，會給舅舅帶來壞運氣。故選B
小題10:考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：這就是為什么在龍?zhí)ь^這一天你會看見這么多人在理發(fā)。get their hair cut，是一個固定的短語，意思是理發(fā)。根據(jù)句意可知，這里表示在龍?zhí)ь^這一天，人們會看見很多人正在理發(fā)，故用現(xiàn)在分詞表示動作正在進行。故選D。

Naturally, American schoolchildren love holidays. And they get a lot of them each year.
Besides having national holidays such as Thanksgiving and Presidents’ Day off from school, students get longer breaks in the spring and during the summer holidays .In fact, kids in US only go to school for about 180 days a year .To students, holidays are perfect .However, parents think there are advantages and disadvantages.
On the one hand, school holidays allow families to spend time together. Many American parents take time off from work during June ,July or August to travel with their children on vacation either in US or a foreign country. On the other hand, schoolchildren get much more time off school than parents get vacation time. This means that parents with young children may have to pay more in babysitting or daycare costs. As well, the long summer holidays mean that students sometimes get bored .
Besides going on trips with their parents, American students enjoy taking part in different kinds of activities during the holidays. For example, some kids enjoy summer camps and outdoor adventure(冒險) holidays. Such trips are great for adventurous students. They also have a lot to offer students who aren’t usually interested in traditional PE activities. You can do courses in survival(生存) skills, for example. Students learn how to make a camp in the forest, which wild food they can eat and how to find their way back to the center.
Students who are not excited about summer camps and outdoor adventure may take part in courses in computer game design, filmmaking and photography during the holidays. Finally, the traditional school trip to foreign countries is always popular. Students can practice their foreign language skills and experience everyday life in a different culture.
小題1:How long are kids in the US at school every year?
A．About 180 days .B．About 280 days .
C．About 200 days .D．About 300 days .

In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by "small talk". Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather: "Nice day, isn't it?" "Terrible weather, isn't it?" But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small. talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: "Great game, isn't it?" At bus-stops, people may comment about the transport system: "The bus service is terrible, isn't it?"
Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.
小題1:The passage suggests that when we learn a language______.
A．we should know the culture about the country
B．we should only master the grammar and vocabulary
C．we should grasp the importance of the language
D．we should learn about the transport system of the country
小題2: When we say "Great game, isn't it?" we in fact______.
A．have a conversationB．begin a small talk
C．greet each otherD．ask a question
小題3: What we learn from the passage is that______.
A．in English-speaking countries we should talk about the weather
B．different language has different grammar
C．small talk is an important part in a language
D．small talk depends on the purpose of the conversation

There is a saying, “China has the best teahouses in the world and Chengdu has the best teahouses in China.”Chengdu has not only many teahouses but also the special ways of serving and drinking tea.
As soon as the visitors enter the teahouses, the waiters or waitresses will greet them with teapots and cups in their hands. The cups often have special covers and saucers(茶碟). The covers can keep the water warm.
People who go to the teahouses are not all thirsty. Retired(退休)people pay a little money to the teahouses and then sit there all day long to chat with others. Sometimes, people have parties in the teahouses. They eat fruit and sunflower seeds(瓜子)while they chat and return home when they are tired. Teahouses are also good places for people to talk about businesses. Some of the teahouses even have stages for performances, such as storytelling, cross talk and Sichuan Opera. Sometimes when people have a quarrel, a mediator(調解員)will bring them to the teahouse. After their problem is solved, the person who is wrong will pay for the tea. It is interesting that as soon as the quarrelers enter the teahouse and sit down to drink tea, they have almost calmed down. With the help of the mediator, their problems can be easily solved then. Maybe we can say the teahouses have some special social functions.
