本篇文章難度適中，主要介紹中國的“收獲節(jié)”的時間以及收獲節(jié)的意義。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據The festival starting from 2018, falls on the Autumnal Equinox (秋分) each year. The Autumnal Equinox is one of the 24 solar terms(節(jié)氣) of the Chinese lunar calendar and usually falls between September 22nd and 24th, during the country's harvest season可知，這個節(jié)日從2018年開始,在秋分。秋分是中國農歷24節(jié)氣之一,通常介于9月22日和24日是我國的收獲季節(jié)。故選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據It will greatly encourage farmers to farm and develop further modem agriculture. China has a long history of agriculture. Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival, the cultural symbol, helps to show China's long farming culture to the world. It also connects the excellent traditional Chinese culture to modem civilization (文明) and improves the cultural self-confidence and national pride以及Some activities are held across the country, but most of the celebrations will take place at a local level that comes from local customs可知，這將極大地鼓勵農民耕種和進一步發(fā)展現代農業(yè)。中國的農業(yè)歷史悠久。中國農民豐收節(jié)作為一種文化符號，向世界展示了中國悠久的農耕文化。它還把優(yōu)秀的中國傳統(tǒng)文化與現代文明聯系起來，提高了文化自信和民族自豪感。一些活動在全國舉行，但是大部分慶�；顒釉诋數嘏e行，這源于當地的風俗習慣。所以并不鼓勵中國農民放棄當地的文化，故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據Since the festival is especially created for farmers, they are encouraged to think of their own ways to celebrate harvest可知，因為這個節(jié)日是特別為農民創(chuàng)造的，所以他們被鼓勵用自己的方式來慶祝豐收。所以，根據當地的文化，慶�；顒討�該是不同的，故選A。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據The festival starting from 2018, falls on the Autumnal Equinox (秋分) each year. The Autumnal Equinox is one of the 24 solar terms(節(jié)氣) of the Chinese lunar calendar and usually falls between September 22nd and 24th可知，這個節(jié)日從2018年開始,在秋分。秋分是中國農歷24節(jié)氣之一,通常介于9月22日和24日是我國的收獲季節(jié)，所以這個節(jié)日全國統(tǒng)一，排除A；根據The Autumnal Equinox is one of the 24 solar terms(節(jié)氣) of the Chinese lunar calendar and usually falls between September 22nd and 24th, during the country's harvest season可知，秋分是中國農歷24節(jié)氣之一,通常介于9月22日和24日是我國的收獲季節(jié)，所以是我國的收獲季節(jié)，而不是全世界的，排除B；根據The festival starting from 2018, falls on the Autumnal Equinox (秋分) each year可知，這個節(jié)日是2018年秋分開始的，今年是2019年，還未到秋分，所以已經舉辦了一次，排除C；根據After reform and opening (改革開放)，with the development of modern agriculture (農業(yè)), people's life is getting better and better, and their living conditions have improved a lot可知，改革開放后，隨著當代農業(yè)的發(fā)展，人們的生活變得越來越好，他們的生活水平得到了很大的提高，所以由于改革開放，中國的農業(yè)已經取得了巨大的發(fā)展，故選D。
