二、拓展提升
I.阅读理解

The old Chinese saying “as happy as spending the New Year” might be outdated now in the busy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, however, have weakened in reality.
Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival. People thought the
sputtering(噼啪声) 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 (屈从于) public demand. Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect
toward 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 day. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, instead of
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on the 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.
“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 festivals and
temple fairs will be held. Without the ancient traditions, the holiday is nothing to us, ” said Zhang Hui,
from Hebei.
【语篇概述】本文为议论文。在中国, 春节在过去被认为是最重要的节日。如今随着社会的发展,
传统春节的年味变淡, 现代人过春节和以前相比发生了很大的变化。

B. People would like to have the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve.
C. People prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than take a rest.

【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第四段可知, 李顺治说的话暗示了现在人们过春节和以前相比发
生了很大的变化, 故选A项。

B. Zhang Hui is used to spending the Spring Festival with his family.
C. Zhang Hui always takes part in a series of activities after the Spring Festival.

Father’s Day
Father’s Day falls on the third Sunday in June every year.We all know that Father’s Day is a festival
on which sons and daughters will show their love and respect to their father.On that day, children will
choose a gift for their father no matter how busy they are.Then all the family members will get together to
have a delicious dinner to celebrate Father’s Day.Some children, especially those who are working far away
from home, may post a card with best wishes to their father.Sometimes, they can make a telephone call to
send their best regards.
In my opinion, in whatever way we celebrate it, our father will be pleased and very satisfied with it.I
usually choose a card or a smart gift for my father, and my father is to be moved when I present it to him on
that day.
亮点点评：
本文说明简洁明了，过渡自然流畅，词汇运用得当。例如“send their best regards；present it to
him”等高级短语运用合理；高级句式如定语从句“on which sons and daughters will show their love
and respect to their father”和状语从句“no matter how busy they are”也运用得特别好！
