核心事实  中秋节作为英语题目刚被考过

两年的中考中，阅读和写作两头都覆盖到了中秋。下面的内容按这个方向展开：词汇、语法、阅读、写作全方位覆盖。

Part 1  中考高频词 12 个

Part 2  精读短文

Part 3  重点短语与搭配

Part 4  阅读题 3 道

答案与解析

1. A　细节题。原文是 people hope all their family can get together all the time，all the time 就是 always。B 把范围缩小到了中秋当天，C、D 与原文意思相反。2. D　指代题。往前找最近的动作，是 asked us to go back to make mooncakes together，doing that 承接的正是这件事。3. A　主旨题。文章最后落在it carries our love to our family and helps pass down Chinese virtues （美德） from generation to generation 上，落点是珍惜家人。B、C 只说了文中的一部分，D 把做法当成了目的。

Part 5  语言小发现

① 过去时和现在时是怎么分的

讲小时候的事用一般过去时：got、sat、made、told、was。

讲月饼本身的意义和道理用一般现在时：are、brings、passes。这篇文章把两种时态放在一起，正是中考时态题的典型考法。

核心要点是体会为什么同一篇里的时态会变来变去。

② because、so、when、as 引导的从句

because 表原因，so 表结果。但要提醒孩子一句：because 和 so 不能同时出现在一个句子里，这是中考的高频陷阱。

when 和 as 都表时间，as 还常带「随着」的意思，比如 As I grew older。

③ 宾语从句要用陈述语序

We all know what a mooncake brings for us. 用 what 引导，不能省。关键是不管主句是陈述还是疑问，从句都要用陈述语序，不要写成 what does a mooncake bring。

④ 一句主旨

It carries our love to our family and helps pass down Chinese virtues from generation to generation.这句是全文的落点，也是作文里可以直接借用的句式。

Part 6  说一说

第 1 题 ｜ 书面表达（真题 · 20 分 · 不少于 90 词）

2024 年江苏省无锡市中考英语

传统节日是中华文化的重要组成部分。学校正开展「中华文化周」活动，今年的主题是「交朋友，传文化」。假设你是李华，请你给国外的笔友 Tom 发一封英文邮件，向他介绍一个中国传统节日（时间、庆祝方式等）。

注意事项：1. 邮件内容须自拟，要求语句通顺、意思连贯、符合题意；2. 词数不少于 90 个，邮件开头与结尾已给出，不计入总词数；3. 邮件中不得使用真实的个人姓名或学校名称。

YOUR TASK

Dear Tom,

Traditional festivals are an important part of the Chinese culture.____________________________

Can you tell me something about the festivals in your country?Yours truly,Li Hua

参考范文（写中秋）

Dear Tom,

Traditional festivals are an important part of the Chinese culture. Knowing that you are interested in Chinese traditions, I'd like to introduce the Mid-Autumn Festival to you.

Falling on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, it is a time when the moon is at its fullest and brightest. Regardless of the distance, all family members make every effort to come home for a grand reunion dinner. After dinner we sit around the table, share mooncakes and admire the full moon. Children love the story of Chang'e, a beautiful goddess who flew to the moon.

Mooncakes are in the shape of a full moon symbolizing people's hope for family reunion. Ultimately, this festival is not merely about celebration; it is deeply rooted in reunion and love.

Can you tell me something about the festivals in your country?Yours truly,Li Hua

考场四步框架  换成别的节日也能用

这类「介绍中国传统节日」的作文，写中秋、春节、端午、元宵都是同一套骨架，四步走：① 是什么　It is one of the most important traditional festivals in China.② 什么时候　It falls on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month.③ 做什么　Families get together, have a big dinner, share mooncakes and admire the full moon.④ 有什么意义　The round mooncakes stand for family reunion, and the festival is all about being together.四句先把框架撑起来，中间补一两句细节（做月饼、嫦娥的故事）。

阅卷看点

三个要点一个都不能漏：时间、庆祝方式、文化意义。词数是硬门槛，题目要求不少于 90 个，只写五六十字会直接扣分。另外首句和结尾的问句题目已经给出，中间要接着往下写，不要把给过的句子再抄一遍。时态用一般现在时。

第 2 题 ｜ 语法填空（8 空 · 配套命制）

由上面这篇精读短文改编，题目为原创命制

用括号内单词的适当形式填空。

Mooncakes are a kind of (1) ________ (special) food of the Mid-Autumn Festival. They are in the shape of a full moon because people hope all their family can (2) ________ (get) together all the time.

When I (3) ________ (be) a child, my family always got together in my grandparents' home. We sat around a big round table and (4) ________ (make) mooncakes by hand together. And my grandpa (5) ________ (tell) interesting stories to us.

There were different (6) ________ (kind) of mooncakes in the shops. However, my grandma still asked us (7) ________ (go) back to make mooncakes together. She told us she liked (8) ________ (do) that.

参考答案

1. special　　2. get　　3. was　　4. made　　5. told　　6. kinds　　7. to go　　8. doing

易错提醒：第 2 空 can 后面要用动词原形，不要写成 gets。第 3、4、5 空讲的是小时候的事，要用过去式，其中 make 和 tell 都是不规则变化。第 6 空 different 后面接可数名词复数。第 7 空是 ask sb to do 结构，别漏掉 to。第 8 空 like doing，用动名词。

Bonus  6 个中秋冷知识 也可以作为素材积累

01   NOT ONLY IN CHINA

The Mid-Autumn Festival is not only celebrated in China. It is also celebrated in many other countries in the wider East Asian cultural circle. In Korea, people call it Chuseok. In Japan, people call it Jugoya. In Vietnam, people call it Tet Trung Thu. In all these countries, families look up at the same full moon.

中秋不只在中国庆祝，它也是泛东亚文化圈许多国家共同的节日。韩国叫秋夕，日本叫十五夜，越南叫中秋。这些国家的人，抬头看到的是同一轮满月。

02   THE MOON IS MOVING AWAY

The moon is slowly leaving us. Every year, it moves about 3.8 centimetres away from Earth. That is about the size of a ping-pong ball.

月亮正在慢慢远离地球，每年大约 3.8 厘米，差不多是一个乒乓球的直径。

03   THE RABBIT IS A SHADOW

Have you ever seen a rabbit on the moon? Chinese people see a jade rabbit. People in the West see a man's face. In fact, both of them are dark marks on the moon.

中国人从月亮上看出玉兔，西方人看出一张人脸。其实那只是月球表面深浅不同的斑纹。

04   THE 15TH IS NOT ALWAYS THE FULLEST

The Mid-Autumn Festival is on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. But the fullest moon sometimes comes on the 16th. So Chinese people have a saying: the moon of the 15th is fullest on the 16th.

中秋在农历八月十五，可满月的准确时刻有时落在十六，于是有了「十五的月亮十六圆」这句老话。

05   ONE MOONCAKE, FOUR BOWLS OF RICE

A big mooncake with two egg yolks has about 800 calories. That is about four bowls of rice. Now you know why we cut it into pieces and share it.

一个双黄月饼大约 800 千卡，差不多是四碗米饭的热量。难怪月饼总要切开分着吃。

06   FOOTPRINTS STAY FOR A LONG TIME

There is no air and no wind on the moon. So nothing can blow the dust away. The footprints of the first astronauts are still there.

月球上没有空气，也没有风，尘土不会被吹散。第一批登月宇航员留下的脚印还留在那里。
