The Lantern Festival is a Traditional Festival in China
People light lanterns, set off fireworks(放烟花), eat yuanxiao and enjoy family time at the Lantern Festival. But do you know how this festival started?
In the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Dongfang Shuo who worked for the Emperor Wu of Han. One day, Dongfang Shuo met a crying maid(宫女) named Yuanxiao in the emperor's garden. He asked her what happened. And the maid said she was sad because she couldn't see her family.
Dongfang Shuo promised to help Yuanxiao. He left the garden and went to the street. He started telling people that a big fire would happen on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It was the order of the Jade Emperor(玉皇大帝). Word spread quickly and people in the city were scared.
The Emperor Wu of Han heard of it and asked Dongfang Shuo for advice. Dongfang Shuo advised him to let Yuanxiao make glutinous rice(糯米) balls for the God of Fire to make him happy. He also advised everyone in the city to put up red lanterns and set off fireworks to create an illusion(幻觉) that the city was on fire. Seeing this, the Jade Emperor would not set fire.
On the special day, the city was full of people and lanterns. Yuanxiao's parents were able to meet up with their daughter in the crowd. The city was safe, and the Emperor Wu of Han was happy. He ordered that every year on this day, people should make glutinous rice balls and hang lanterns.
From then on, the 15th day of the first lunar month has been called the Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Jie. Since Yuanxiao cooked the best glutinous rice balls, people call the food yuanxiao or tangyuan.

答案
31.C 32.A 33.D 34.C 35.C
解析
31. 根据文章第一段内容“People light lanterns, set off fireworks(放烟花), eat yuanxiao and enjoy family time at the Lantern Festival.”可知，元宵节的习俗有点灯笼、放烟花、吃元宵、享受家庭时光，吃粽子是端午节的习俗，不属于元宵节的活动，因此选C。
32. 根据文章第二段最后一句“And the maid said she was sad because she couldn't see her family.”可知，元宵在御花园哭泣是因为她想念自己的家人，因此选A。
33. 梳理全文事件顺序：首先东方朔散播了正月十五会有大火的消息（b），之后汉武帝向东方朔寻求建议，下令让元宵制作糯米丸子（c），最后在正月十五当天元宵和自己的父母团聚（a），正确顺序是b→c→a，因此选D。
34. 东方朔主动承诺帮助元宵脱离思念家人的痛苦，说明他乐于助人；他设计的计策既化解了全城的危机，又帮元宵实现了和家人团聚的愿望，说明他十分聪明，文中没有体现他诚实、有耐心的特质，因此他的特点是聪明又乐于助人，选C。
35. 全文围绕元宵节的起源传说展开，介绍了元宵节相关习俗和名称的由来，A、B、D选项都只对应文章的部分细节，不能概括全文，只有C选项“元宵节背后的故事”最贴合文章主旨，是最佳标题，因此选C。
