Question

【題目】 Although we have a birthday every year and enjoy a birthday cake with family or friends on that day. Do you still remember your first birthday?

On that day, there is an interesting custom called “zhua-zhou”. Zhua-zhou is one of the important customs on a child’s first birthday. The earliest record（記錄）of this custom is in the Song Dynasty（朝代）.The one-year-old child’s parents don’t even send out invitations, their aunts and uncles will come to celebrate his or her first birthday. Gifts from them on this day are something to eat or play for the child. Parents will put the baby in the middle of some things and see which thing they will pick up. If the baby picks up a coin（硬幣）,then he or she might be rich when they grow up. Or if the baby picks up a doll, maybe he or she will have many children. If the baby picks up a soccer ball, then he or she may be a soccer player in the future. In the great Chinese book, Hong Lou Meng, Jia Baoyu, picked up some girls’ things when he was a child. As a result, he likes playing with girls very much. Qian Zhongshu, a very famous writer in China, took a book during his zhuazhou. His father gladly named him Zhongshu, it means “book lover’, and he showed his talent in writing later in his life.

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，介紹了傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗——抓周。抓周是孩子一歲生日的重要習(xí)俗之一，最早記錄這個習(xí)俗的是宋代。父母會把嬰兒放在一些東西的中間，看他們會拿起什么東西。抓周的習(xí)俗預(yù)示著寶寶的未來，讓父母思考如何教育孩子，所以即使有些父母對中國的傳統(tǒng)不是很感興趣，他們也不會拒絕這個習(xí)俗。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Zhuazhou is one of the most important customs on a child’s first birthday”可知抓周是兒童一歲生日最重要的習(xí)俗之一，可可推測出抓周是在孩子的第一個生日，故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“The earliest record（記錄）of this custom is in the Song Dynasty”可知最早提到是在宋朝，與選項A內(nèi)容不符，所以排除A；根據(jù)“The one-year-old child’s parents don’t even send out invitations, their aunts and uncles will come to celebrate his or her first birthday.”可知一歲孩子的父母甚至不發(fā)出邀請，他們的姑姑和叔叔會來慶祝他或她的第一個生日，與選項B內(nèi)容不符，所以排除B；根據(jù)最后一段“so even though some parents may not be so interested in Chinese tradition，they will not refuse the custom.”可知即使有些父母對中國傳統(tǒng)不感興趣，他們也不會拒絕這種習(xí)俗，選項C正確；故選C。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“maybe he or she will have many children.”可知他或她可能會有很多孩子，可推測該單詞的意思是娃娃，故選B。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段倒數(shù)第二句“Qian Zhongshu，a very famous writer in China，took a book during his zhuazhou”可知錢鐘書是我國著名的作家，他在抓周中取了一本書，可推測出錢鐘書的父親叫他"鐘書"，因為他拿起一本書，故選C。

【5】主旨大意題。第二段“Zhuazhou is one of the most important customs on a child's first birthday”可知抓周是兒童一歲生日最重要的習(xí)俗之一，可推測出短文主要介紹中國人如何慶祝孩子的第一個生日，故選A。
