The Dragon Boat Festival (or Duanwu Festival in Chinese) is on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It is a day to remember the great poet Qu Yuan who was a loyal (忠誠(chéng)的) official in the State of Chu in ancientChinaand deeply loved by his people.

  Qu Yuan drowned (淹死) himself on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 278 BC due to being unable to save his country. The local people did what they could to search for him in the river,meanwhile they dropped rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo or reed (蘆葦) leaves into the river in order to prevent fish from eating Qu Yuan's body. Since then,it has been a tradition on this day to eat zongziirice wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves) as a memorial to the poet.

  Nowadays,zongzi is not only made for the Dragon Boat Festival. It is available at any time of the year with wide styles. The main ingredient (原料) of zongzi is the rice,and then the bamboo or reed leaves―the wrapping that makes zongzi taste delicious. The usual recipes (食譜) include dates,meat,chestnuts,yolks of eggs and so on.

1. A詞義猜測(cè)題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞due to,可回原文定位于第二段第一句。"Qu Yuan drowned himself on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 278 BC"與"being unable to save his country"之間存在因果關(guān)系，因此due to意為"因?yàn)�，由�?，相當(dāng)于because of。

2. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞NOT true ,可回原文定位并理解全文。根據(jù)第二段第二句中的"they dropped ... into the river in order to prevent fish from eating Qu Yuan's body"可知，人們把棕子丟進(jìn)河里是為了防止魚吃屈原的身體，c項(xiàng)表述為"人們把粽子丟進(jìn)河里是為了抓魚"是錯(cuò)誤的。根據(jù)第一段第二句中的"who was a loyal official in the State of Chu in ancient China and deeply loved by his people"可知，屈原是一位官員，深受人們的愛(ài)戴，排除A;根據(jù)第一段第二句中的"It is a day to remember the great poet Qu Yuan..."可知，端午節(jié)是為了紀(jì)念屈原，排除B;根據(jù)第一段第一句"The Dragon Boat Festival... is on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month."可知，端午節(jié)在陰歷的五月五日，排除D.

3. D段落大意題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞The second paragraph mainly tells,可回原文定位于第二段。通讀第二段可知，本段主要講述了粽子的由來(lái)。

4. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞the last paragraph ,可回原文定位于最后一段。根據(jù)最后一段第二句"It is available at any time of the year with wide styles."可知，有很多不同類型的粽子。根據(jù)最后一段第二句中的"it is available at any time of the year...”可知,人們不只在端午節(jié)吃粽子，B項(xiàng)表述為"人們只在端午節(jié)吃粽子"是錯(cuò)誤的，排除B;根據(jù)最后一段第三句中的"The main ingredient of zongzi is the rice..."可知，大米是粽子的主要材料，c項(xiàng)表述為"大米是粽子唯一的材料"是錯(cuò)誤的，排除C;根據(jù)最后一段第三句中的"the wrapping that makes zongzi taste delicious"可知，包裝使得粽子嘗起來(lái)美味可口， D 項(xiàng)表述為"大米使得粽子嘗起來(lái)美味可口"是錯(cuò)誤的，排除D.

5. D主旨大意題。文章主要介紹了端午節(jié)。

  Astronauts inAmericawho fly into space,need special training. First they go to Houston,Texas. That is the home of the Johnson Space Center. There they are tested to see how strong and smart they are.

  The first test is for the heart. The people walk or run,then the space doctors see how fast their hearts beat.

  Another important test is performed. In this test,the person must curl (蜷曲) his body up in a ball. When he is in that position,he is put into a round cloth bag. The doctors give him no idea how long he will have to stay in the bag. If a spaceship broke down in space,the astronauts would get into bags like this. Then they would have to wait and curl up in darkness until help could arrive. You can see that an astronaut must not be afraid of tight space or darkness.

  After the tests,only the best people are chosen to start astronaut training in a training center. The astronauts in training learn many other things. They learn how to jump out of a moving airplane. They learn to blow up a lifeboat and get into it while they are in the ocean. The astronauts also have to learn how to get lifted out of the ocean by helicopter (直升機(jī)) .That seems fun,but it can be dangerous.

  After they finish training,the astronauts continue to work. They stay in good shape by running and doing exercise. They read about their special jobs. In this way,they can learn new facts about space travel.

  Then the big day comes. The astronauts are told to go to work on a flight into space.  The crew members get to know each other first. Then they can learn what job each will do.

How hard we have all prayed (祈禱) to grow up quickly,and looked forward to the happy days of being a grownup and enjoying the many interests that a youth should have.

At last,you have grown up. At least you are no longer a child. They call you "young lady". You then enjoy the pleasure of being a young lady. You are proud of being a grown?up teenager. People welcome you―this young lady―heartily. You are glad that your prayer has been answered.

But there is always something that troubles you a lot. You say, "Papa and Mama,give me some money please. My pocket money is all gone already."

"No”， they say, " Your age is a dangerous age. If you have too much money to spend,it won't do you any good. ” Then you have to stay at home because you dare not go out with an empty pocket.

Another time you tell your grandma, "Grandma,see,I am a grownup now." "Good,now you can sit here and knit (編織) this for me while I go and have a rest. " To show that you are no more a child,you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing the work,which only a grownup can do. After an hour,you find it hard to do,and give the knitting basket back to your grandma. Your grandma criticizes your work. You hear what she says, "Such a big girl can't do such easy work.
