5.The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar(陰歷).This day is always the first full moon in the new year.Ancient people also called it Shangyuan Festival.Celebrations and traditions on this day began from the Han Dynasty(朝代)and became popular in the Tang Dynasty.
Watching the red lanterns is one of the main traditions.Lanterns of different shapes and sizes are usually put on trees,or along river banks on show.It is said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming to ask for help when he was in trouble.Today,when the  lanterns slowly rise into the air,people make wishes.
Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles.The riddles are usually short,wise,and sometimes humorous.The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character(漢字),a famous person's name,or a place name.
The most important thing is to eat sweet dumplings with different tastes.In northern China,they are called yuanxiao while in southern part they're named tangyuan.Because making sweet dumplings is like a game or an activity,they are usually done happily by a group of friends or family members.
In old times,the Lantern Festival was also romantic(浪漫的).Watching lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other.A line from Xin Qiji,a poet during the Song Dynasty,shows this:
Hundreds and thousands of times I searched for her in the crowd.Suddenly I turned,and there she stood,in the dim(昏暗的)light.

46.The traditional festival talked about in this passage is called"B"in Chinese.
A.春節(jié)     
B.元宵節(jié)         
C.端午節(jié)

分析 文章大意:
元宵節(jié)在陰歷一月十五,在古代又稱為上元佳節(jié).此節(jié)日開(kāi)始于漢朝,在唐朝以后廣為流行.
在上元節(jié),人們習(xí)慣放孔明燈.第一個(gè)放孔明燈的人是孔明,他放孔明燈是為了尋求幫助,現(xiàn)在人放燈是為了許愿.
在上元節(jié)要吃元宵,以及其他的美味食物.元宵在北方被稱為元宵,在南方被稱為湯圓.人們把做元宵當(dāng)成一種游戲或活動(dòng),經(jīng)常與家人一塊高高興興地做元宵.

解答 46-50 BACBC
46.B,推理判斷題,文中提到"The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar(陰歷)."此節(jié)日的日期是陰歷一月十五,由此確定此節(jié)日是正月十五元宵節(jié),所以選擇B.
47.A,推理判斷題,文中提到"Celebrations and traditions on this day began from the Han Dynasty(朝代)and became popular in the Tang Dynasty."元宵節(jié)開(kāi)始于漢朝,并且在唐朝廣為流行,由此確定此題選擇A.
48.C,推理判斷題,文中提到"It is said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming to ask for help when he was in trouble."上元佳節(jié)放花燈最開(kāi)始是孔明開(kāi)始的,他放燈是為了尋求幫助,由此確定答案選擇C.
49.B,推理判斷題,文中提到"The most important thing is to eat sweet dumplings with different tastes"在上元節(jié)要吃元宵,以及其他的美味食物,A正確;文中提到"In northern China,they are called yuanxiao while in southern part they're named tangyuan"元宵在北方被稱為元宵,在南方被稱為湯圓,B錯(cuò)誤;文中提到"Because making sweet dumplings is like a game or an activity,they are usually done happily by a group of friends or family members"人們把做元宵當(dāng)成一種游戲或活動(dòng),經(jīng)常與家人一塊高高興興地做元宵,C正確,由此確定答案為B.
50.C,推理判斷題,文中提到"In old times,the Lantern Festival was also romantic"在古代的上元節(jié)是很浪漫的,隨后舉出了辛棄疾的詩(shī)句,意在說(shuō)明上元節(jié)的浪漫由此確定答案為D.

15.In Canada and United States,people enjoy entertaining(請(qǐng)客)at home.They often invite friends over for a meal,a party,or just for coffee and conversation.
Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home:
"Would you like to come over for dinner Saturday night?"
"Hey,we're having a party on Friday.Can you come?"
To reply to an invitation,either say thank you and accept,or say you're sorry and give an excuse:"Thanks,I'd love to.What time would you like me to come?"or"Oh,sorry.I've tickets for a movie,"
Sometimes,however,people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations.For example:
"Please come over for a drink sometime."
"Let's get together for lunch soon."
"Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"
They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation.They are not real invitations because thay don't mention a specific(具體的) time or date.They just show that the person is trying to be friendly.To reply to expressions like these,people just say:"Sure,that would be great!"or OK.Yes,thanks."
So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation,listen carefully.Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?

51.Why do people often invite friends to their homes in Canada and the United States?C
A.Because they have modern and beautiful houses.
B.Because they don't like going out for entertainment.
C.Because they enjoy enterainment at home.
D.Because they can spend less money.
52.Which of the following is NOT a real invitation?B
A."Would you like to have a cup of tea with us this evening?"
B."Please go to the concert with me some day."
C."I've two tickets here.Can you go to the concert with me?"
D."If you're free,let's go to Wang's for a drink."
53.People use"an unreal invitation"in order to show thatA.
A.they're trying to be friendly

17.Helen Keller was an American educator and journalist,who became one of the leading humanitarians in the history of the United States.Born on June 27,1880 in Tuscumbia,a small town in Alabama,Keller was stricken with a childhood disease that left her deaf,and blind.The illness Keller suffered (遭受) is a mystery to this day.Unable to see,or hear,Keller became difficult to deal with as her behaviour was described as wild by her family and friends.
Soon Keller and her family developed their own type of sign language that allowed them to communicate with each other.Helen's mother needed help for her anguished (痛苦的) child,which eventually led to Anne Sullivan,who was a recent graduate (畢業(yè)生) of the Perkins Institute for the Blind.The school had been successful in the past in educating blind students,and Sullivan was one of its star graduates.Once Sullivan and Keller got through the difficult beginnings,their friendship,and association (合作) lasted for 49 years.
Keller was determined to become educated,and to teach herself to communicate.After attending several schools,she became the first deaf and blind person to earn a college degree.She became very well-known,and began a lecture tour where she made speeches on social and political issues,including women's suffrage (選舉權(quán)),and birth control.Also she required the government to raise awareness to the situation of the blind.She devoted much of her later life to raising funds for the American Foundation for the Blind.
On September 14,1964,President Lyndon B.Johnson awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom,one of the United States'two highest civilian honours.In 1999,Keller was listed in Gallup's Most Widely Admired People of the 20th century.

14.Most people want to be happy,but few know how to find happiness.Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness.Happiness depends on ourselves.In other words,we make our own happiness.
Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life.Too often,we spend so much time thinking about the future--for example,getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy the present(現(xiàn)在).You should enjoy life's simple pleasures,such as reading a good book,listening to your favorite music,or spending time with close friends.People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret of living a happy life is to be active,and hobbies make you forget your problems and time.Many people experience this by dancing,swimming or playing a sport.You can forget about your problems,and only think about the activity.
Finally,many people find happiness in helping others.Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others.If you want to feel happier,do good things for someone.You can help a friend with his or her studies,go shopping to buy food for an elderly person,or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
66.The passage gives us three pieces of advice onB.
A.how to solve problem                
B.how to find happiness
C.how to enjoy life                     
D.how to succeed
67.The third paragraph tells us thatC.
A.the more friends you have,the happier you will be    
B.we shouldn't think about our future
C.happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life        
D.some people fail to help others
68.The writer thinks thatD.
A.it's wrong to spend time on work   
B.everyone knows how to live a happier life      
C.hobbies take up too much time    
D.doing good things for someone can make you happier
69.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?B
A.Reading a good book.
B.Traveling to a foreign country.
C.Playing a sport.
D.Spending time with close friends.
70.The best title (標(biāo)題) of this passage isA.

B.Money Makes You Happy  
C.Helping Others Makes You Happy          
D.Good Friends Make You Happy.
