D. Read the passage and complete the tasks(阅读短文并完成任务)(第67至71题,每题2分;第72题,6分;共16分)
Lin stood quietly by the ancient stone well in the centre of her village. It was the morning of the Lunar Festival, a time when the air felt different, filled with a sense of history. Every year, her family gathered to honour their ancestors. This was more than just a tradition;it was a vital part of their identity.
“Lin,I don’t understand,” her younger brother,Leo,said while waving a wooden spoon.“Why must we polish this heavy bronze mirror every single year? It’s just an old object.”
Lin knelt down beside him. “Firstly, Leo, we must value what our grandfathers left behind. This mirror is a symbol. It helps us relate to our past. When we clean it, we are supposed to think about the people who came before us. Their stories exist within these reflections.”
As they worked,Mr Zhang,the village elder,walked toward their small wooden stand. He was dressed in a formal suit,looking very serious. Leo became all ears as the old man began to speak.
“Do you suppose we do this just for fun?” Mr Zhang asked,his voice low but firm.“No. We do this to unite the village. Folk customs like this bring us harmony. In a world that changes so fast,we need something that stays the same. If we stop,our culture might die out,and then we would lose our way.”
Lin watched the sunlight hit the polished surface. She realised that one must identify with their community to achieve a peaceful life. The mirror wasn’t just reflecting her face;it was a mirror of their harmonious society.
Later that evening,after sharing some biscuits under the bright moon,Lin sat alone. She concluded that these customs were like a silent language. They told her who she was and where she belonged. As the lunar light washed over the village,Lin felt a deep sense of pride. She finally understood that these traditions were the threads that held their lives together.
