The kindly“Chinese Fortune Grandpa”wearing? Han Chineseclothing and holding a fortune bag debuted (亮相) at the Imperial Ancestral Shrine in Beijing on the day after Christmas．The final imageof the Chinese gift-giver was selected through a global design competitionagainst“Santa Claus”，according to a report by Guangming Daily．

Many Chinese cities have been filled with Christmas neon lights，Christmas songs，Christmas trees，and the images of“Santa Claus”in recent days．As a matter of fact，foreign festivals are becoming more popular than certain traditional Chinese festivals among the Chinese people，particularly the youth.“Certain traditional festivals have died out because people have forgotten their spiritual meanings，”said noted writer Feng Jicai．More and more Chinese people are beginning to exchange gifts on Valentine's Day and Christmas．However，many of them know nothing about Chinese New Year pictures or sugarcoated figurines(小糖人)，and have never heard suona music．Certain folk customs on the Dragon Boat Festival，Tomb Sweeping Day，and other traditional festivals have gradually disappeared．Under such circum-stances，even the“Chinese Fortune Grandpa”is unlikely to defeat“Santa Claus”．

However，it is not a bad thing to some extent．It constantly reminds people to restore the“true

face”of traditional festivals．China has listed traditional Tomb Sweeping Day，Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival as legal holidays，which brings more paid leaves to the public，and helps to awake the public awareness of traditional festivals．

In modern society，festival is a carrier of culture and its meaning largelydepends on their understandings and usages by people．Compared with foreign festivals，traditional Chinese festivals are not inferior (次于) in cultural meanings，but lack of fashion sought by modern people．If people do not appreciate the historical culture contained by traditional festivals，and only take pleasure-seeking as the most important，the significance of traditional festivals will fade away and the inheritance (繼承) of fine traditional culture will be cut off．

1.The second paragraph implies that______________________.

A．traditional festivals should co-exist with foreign festivals

B．all the Chinese festivals are disappearing in the near future

C．western festivals are constantly impacting on our festivals

D．the Chinese people have the public awareness of traditional festivals

2.We can learn from the passage that______________.

A．an image designed by the Chinese people will be displayed

B．many foreigners know nothing about Chinese festivals

C．the Chinese gift-giver was intended to symbolize traditional culture

D．the Chinese are beginning to exchange gifts on the Mid-Autumn Festival

3.Many Chinese youth dislike traditional festivals because they think______________.

A．traditional festivals are out of fashion now

B．the historical culture is more difficult to understand

C．western festivals contain more cultural meanings

D．the inheritance will cut off their contact with western festivals

4.What would be the best title of the passage?

A．Gone are Chinese Traditional Festivals

B．True Face of Chinese Traditional Culture

C．Foreign Festivals Popular with Chinese

D．Chinese Fortune Grandpa VS．Santa Claus

試題分析: 圣誕節(jié)第二天，身著漢服、手持福袋、慈眉善目、笑容可掬的“中華福爺爺”在北京太廟隆重問世，指出外國節(jié)日對中國傳統(tǒng)文化的沖擊，近年來提倡傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，中華福爺爺是傳統(tǒng)文化的代表，既承載了國人對于傳統(tǒng)文化的理解和期許，又展現(xiàn)了現(xiàn)代文明的包容和力量，相信這種創(chuàng)造性結(jié)合會(huì)給“中華福爺爺”在與“圣誕老人” 下一個(gè)回合的“較量”中加分不少

1.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段提到Many Chinese cities have been filled with Christmas neon lights，Christmas songs，Christmas trees，and the images of“Santa Claus”inrecent days．As a matter of fact，foreign festivals are becoming more popular than certain traditional Chinese festivals among the Chinese people，particularly the youth 一段日子來，我國許多城市，圣誕霓虹燈閃爍，滿耳是圣誕歌，滿眼是圣誕樹和圣誕老人的形象，旅館酒樓的生意也異常紅火。不得不承認(rèn)，在一些人特別是年輕一代的眼里，傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日有日漸式微之勢，所以西方節(jié)日正是影響著我們的節(jié)日，故選C項(xiàng)。

2.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段提到The final image of the Chinese gift-giver was selected through a global design competition against “Santa Claus”， “中華福爺爺”是花百萬巨資從全球征集來的作品，選在這個(gè)日子發(fā)布，似乎有和“圣誕老人”叫板的意思，所以選C項(xiàng)。

3.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段提到many of them know nothing about Chinese New Year pictures or sugarcoated figurines(小糖人)，and have never heard suona music．Certain folk customs on the Dragon Boat Festival，Tomb Sweeping Day，and other traditional festivals have gradually disappeared現(xiàn)在越來越多的人開始在情人節(jié)、圣誕節(jié)互贈(zèng)禮物，卻不知道年畫、糖人，沒聽過嗩吶，不識(shí)艾草、菖蒲。原本產(chǎn)生于民間的端午節(jié)、清明節(jié)等傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，一些節(jié)俗也已不再見于民間�？梢妭鹘y(tǒng)文化已經(jīng)落伍了，所以選A項(xiàng)。

4.D 主旨大意。本文第一句話提到圣誕節(jié)第二天，身著漢服、手持福袋、慈眉善目、笑容可掬的“中華福爺爺”在北京太廟隆重問世，分析當(dāng)前人們崇尚外國節(jié)日而不注重傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，所以是中外文化的對抗，所以D項(xiàng)形象提到文章的主要內(nèi)容。

From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.
With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement.
One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart’s desire. Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains, brave the perils of an Antarctic winter, or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.
53．Why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading?
A．No one has come to disturb us.
B．Everything is so quiet and calm around us.
C．The book we are reading is so interesting and attractive.
D．Our book is so boring that we are to finish it at a fast speed.
54．How would you account for the fact that people like their friends in books even more?
A．They are like human friends exactly.      B．They are unfamiliar types we like.
C．They never desert us.                 D．They are purely imaginary.
55．Which of the following is true according to the text?
A．Your wish to visit some far-off place can be realized thought the pages of the books.
B．To escape from the dull realities of everyday life you should take up reading.
C．Books can always help you live a colourful life.

A．in books the world is more accessible to us
B．we can ask to go anywhere in the world
C．we can possess everything in this world
D．we can make a round-the-world trip free of charge
