After a quick breakfast in the station restaurant, Peter set off to look for a room where he could live for the next few months. He knew exactly what he wanted: a room which was not too small, nor so large that it would be difficult to heat in winter. It had to be clean and comfortable too but, above all, it had to be quiet. In the newspaper he had bought from the Bookshop, there were very few advertisements (廣告) for rooms to let. But, as he glanced down the page, a notice caught his eye.

JOHNSON'S HOUSING AGENCY    FLATS AND ROOMS TO LET

This seemed hopeful, so he made a note of the address and set off in search of the agency. He found it in a narrow street just off the main road. The woman at the desk gave him a bright smile as he entered and, after Peter had explained what sort of room he was looking for, he paid two pounds for a list of about half a dozen landladies who had rooms to let.

1. What does the text mainly describe?

A. Peter's room-hunting experience.

B. Peter's determination to find a room.

C. The difficulties in finding rooms.

D. The housing market.

2. Peter's most important consideration in choosing a room was that it should be

A. neat and tidy

B. away from noise

C. of the right size

D. warm in winter

3. The underlined word "this" in the second paragraph refers to

A. a list of rooms to let

B. the newspaper Peter bought

C. the notice in the restaurant

D. Johnson's Housing Agency

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：廣東省南雄市2010屆高三最后一次月考英語(yǔ)試題 題型：信息匹配

 

第二節(jié) 信息匹配(共5小題; 每小題2分, 滿分10分)

 

閱讀下列應(yīng)用文及相關(guān)信息，并按照要求匹配信息。請(qǐng)?jiān)诖痤}卡上將對(duì)應(yīng)題號(hào)的相應(yīng)選項(xiàng)字母涂黑。

以下是關(guān)于中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日的起源介紹：

A. One day, Emperor Mingdi had a dream about a gold man in his palace. When he was about to ask the mysterious figure who he was, the gold man suddenly rose to the sky and disappeared in the west. The next day, Emperor Mingdi sent a scholar to India to locate Buddhist scriptures and ordered that a temple be built to house a statue of Buddha and serve as a repository for the scriptures. So Emperor Mingdi ordered his subjects to display lighted lanterns during what was to become the Festival.

B. The earth once had ten suns circling it. However, one day all ten suns appeared together. The heat was so scorching and unbearable. A strong archer named Hou Yi came out and succeeded in shooting down nine suns. He was later made the emperor but after that he became a tyrant. In order to save the people from his tyranny, his wife Chang-E stole the elixir and consumed it herself and floated to the moon taking along her pet rabbit with her.

C. Qu Yuan was a minister in the kingdom of Chu.He was upright , loyal and highly esteemed for his wise counsel that had brought peace and prosperity to the kingdom. Realizing that the country was now in the hands of evil and corrupt officials, Qu Yuan clasped a large stone and leaped into the Mi Lo river on the fifth day of the fifth moon. The people of Chu, mourning the death of Qu Yuan, threw rice into the river to feed his hungry ghost on this day every year.

D. One of the most famous legends is Nian, an extremely cruel and ferocious beast that the ancients believed would devour people on New Year's Eve. To keep Nian away, red-paper couplets are pasted on doors, torches are lit, and firecrackers are set off throughout the night, because Nian is said to fear the color red, the light of fire, and loud noises. Early the next morning, as feelings of triumph and renewal fill the air at successfully keeping Nian away for another year, the most popular greeting heard is "gong xi fa cai", or "congratulations."

E. On this evening, two lovers will meet on a bridge of magpies across the Milky Way. Chinese grannies will remind children that they would not be able to see any magpies on that evening because all the magpies have left to form a bridge in the heavens with their wings.

F. The Festival itself was created by the Tang Emperor Xuanzong in 732. It is said that because the wealthy held too many expensive, elaborate ancestor-worshipping ceremonies, in a needed effort to lower this expense, Emperor Xuanzong declared that respects could be formally paid at ancestor's graves only on the day.

以下是中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日的慶祝活動(dòng)，請(qǐng)匹配慶祝活動(dòng)和該傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日的起源介紹：

56. The Qingming Festival: The most important activity on the Festival is tomb sweeping to remember and honour one's ancestors at grave sites. Young and old pray before the ancestors, sweep the tombs and offer food, tea, wine, chopsticks, (joss) paper accessories, and/or libation to the ancestors. The rites are very important to most Chinese and especially farmers.

57. The Lantern Festival: According to the Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate. At this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere.

58. The Dragon-boat Day: The Festival was also noted for its dragon-boat races, especially in the southern provinces, where there are many rivers and lakes and a glutinous rice pudding called Zongzi was eaten

59. The Valentine’s Day: There is not so much emphasis on giving chocolates, flowers and kisses. Instead, Chinese girls prepare fruits, melons and incense as offerings to the weaving maiden, praying to acquire high skills in needlecraft, as well as hoping to find satisfactory husbands. In the evening, people sit outdoors to observe the stars. Chinese grannies would say that, if you stand under a grapevine, you can probably overhear what the weaving maiden and her husband are talking about.

60. The New Year’s Day:  It is traditional to decorate the homes with new year paintings. The most popular paintings are Door Gods pasted on the front doors to keep ghosts and monsters away. Spring couplets are traditionally written with black ink on red paper. They are hung in storefronts and often stay up for two months. A reunion dinner is held where members of the family, near and far, get together for celebration.
