Question

【題目】 The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar（陰歷）.This day is always the first full moon in the new year. Ancient people also called it Shangyuan Festival. Celebrations and traditions on this day began from the Han Dynasty（朝代）and became popular in the Tang Dynasty.

Watching the red lanterns is one of the main traditions. Lanterns of different shapes and sizes are usually put on trees, or along river banks on show. It is said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming to ask for help when he was in trouble. Today, when the lanterns slowly rise into the air, people make wishes.

Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous. The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character（漢字）,a famous person's name, or a place name.

The most important thing is to eat sweet dumplings with different tastes. In northern China, they are called yuanxiao while in southern part they're named tangyuan. Because making sweet dumplings is like a game or an activity, they are usually done happily by a group of friends or family members.

In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic. Watching lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other. A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this:

【解析】

本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，主要介紹了中國(guó)元宵節(jié)的由來(lái)，習(xí)俗和傳統(tǒng)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第1大段“Celebrations and traditions on this day began from the Han Dynasty（朝代）and became popular in the Tang Dynasty” 這一天的慶�；顒�(dòng)和傳統(tǒng)始于漢代，并在唐代流行起來(lái)。可知，故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第2大段“It is said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming to ask for help when he was in trouble.”據(jù)說(shuō)，諸葛孔明第一次用孔明燈是為了尋求幫助�？芍�，故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第4大段“The most important thing is to eat sweet dumplings with different tastes.”可知吃元宵是習(xí)俗，故A正確；根據(jù)第4大段“In northern China, they are called yuanxiao while in southern part they're named tangyuan.”中國(guó)北方叫元宵，南方叫湯圓，故B錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第4大段“Because making sweet dumplings is like a game or an activity, they are usually done happily by a group of friends or family members.”可知人們喜歡做元宵的過(guò)程，故C正確；根據(jù)第4大段“The most important thing is to eat sweet dumplings with different tastes.”可知元宵有不同的口味，故D正確。故選B。

【5】詞句理解題。根據(jù)第5大段“A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this: Hundreds and thousands of times I searched for her in the crowd. Suddenly 1 turned. and there she stood, in the dim（昏暗的）light”可知這個(gè)詩(shī)句是為了說(shuō)明第5大段的中心句“In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic.”古時(shí)，元宵節(jié)也很浪漫。故選C。

閱讀理解題中判斷句子的正誤屬于推理判斷題，是英語(yǔ)試題中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的題型，也是難題之一。4個(gè)選項(xiàng)要根據(jù)題干意思一一從原文中查找，有些是關(guān)鍵單詞出錯(cuò)，有些是句子意思表達(dá)有誤。此類(lèi)判斷題考查學(xué)生對(duì)文章句子的深層次理解能力。如第3題，B是范圍出錯(cuò)，不是全國(guó)而是分南北方。所以句子正誤題可以?xún)?yōu)先注意題干中的關(guān)鍵信息，如數(shù)字，地點(diǎn)，程度詞等。
