Question

【題目】 John Smith is an exchange student from New York. Here is a letter to his friend in his hometown.

Dear David,

How time flies! It's been 3 months since I came to China. I'm having a great time on my student exchange program here. So far, I've completely got used to the life here and have known a lot about traditional Chinese culture. I'd like to share some with you.

In China, there are many different kinds of traditional art forms, such as paper cutting, Chinese clay art and so on. Among them, the kite interests me most. The first ancient Chinese kite appeared more than 2,000 years ago. Then flying kites was spread into Japan, Korea and Malaysia during the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Kites are regarded as the earliest craft (飛行器). They played an important role in the process of inventing the plane.

Tea culture is important in China. Tea was discovered as a kind of drink by accident about 5,000 years ago. It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. It didn't appear in England until around 1660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. Now tea has become one of the most popular drinks around the world.

Lastly, I'd like to tell you something about one of the traditional Chinese festivals — the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar (陰歷). Chinese people have been celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries.

If you'd like to know more about traditional Chinese culture, I will talk about it in the next letter.

Best wishes!

yours,

【解析】

這是一封約翰·史密斯寫給他家鄉(xiāng)朋友大衛(wèi)的信。信中提到了中國的傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)形式剪紙、中國粘土藝術(shù)等，風(fēng)箏最吸引約翰，信中還介紹了中國的茶文化和中秋節(jié)。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一句“John Smith is an exchange student from New York”可知，約翰·史密斯來自美國的紐約。故選B。

【2】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)信中第二段“In China, there are many different kinds of traditional art forms, such as paper cutting, Chinese clay art and so on.”可知，剪紙和中國粘土藝術(shù)是中國的傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)形式；根據(jù)信中第四段“Lastly, I'd like to tell you something about one of the traditional Chinese festivals — the Mid-Autumn Festival.”可知，中秋節(jié)是中國的節(jié)日，不是藝術(shù)形式。故選C。

【3】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)信中第三段“Tea was discovered as a kind of drink by accident about 5,000 years ago.”可知，茶葉是在大約5000年前被偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)的一種飲料。故選C。

【4】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“John Smith is an exchange student from New York. Here is a letter to his friend in his hometown.”及信中第一行“How time flies! It's been 3 months since I came to China.”可知，是約翰·史密斯來中國三個(gè)月了，而不是David，故選項(xiàng)A錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)信中第三段“It didn't appear in England until around 1660.”可知，茶在17世紀(jì)60年代才在英國出現(xiàn)，故選項(xiàng)B錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)信中第二段“They played an important role in the process of inventing the plane.”可知，風(fēng)箏在發(fā)明飛機(jī)的過程中發(fā)揮了重要作用，故選項(xiàng)C正確。故選C。

【5】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)信中第一段“So far, I've completely got used to the life here and have known a lot about traditional Chinese culture. I'd like to share some with you.”及全文內(nèi)容可知，John對(duì)中國傳統(tǒng)文化有了很多了解，他寫信主要是想與家鄉(xiāng)的朋友分享中國傳統(tǒng)文化。故選A。
