二、阅读理解。（每小题4分，共20分）
“I need a new project topic, not these old things!” 16-year-old Lin said angrily, pointing at the bamboo and paper lanterns in their small apartment. “My teacher wants something modern, about technology!”
Her father, a lantern maker, was making a lantern frame with bamboo. He said quietly, “This is our family’s craft with a history of 100 years.” “It’s out of fashion, and so is this apartment!” Lin said, almost crying. “All my friends live in normal houses. The smell of glue and old paper is everywhere around us.”
There was a heavy silence. Then her father said, “Your great-grandfather used these lanterns to help soldiers. Your grandfather made them for a big national parade. These old things hold our family’s light.” He held up a lantern. “Please help me with this last order for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Then we’ll talk.”
Lin said yes, but she didn’t really want to. The next few days were quiet. She painted the lantern, but her hands were not skillful. “Why a rabbit?” she asked.
“It’s the Jade Rabbit on the moon,” he explained kindly. “It makes a special medicine. This lantern is like that medicine—it brings light and hope.” He lit a candle inside. “See? The light isn’t kept, and it’s shared.”
On the festival night, they hung the lantern in the square. Thousands of people came. When all the lanterns lit up, the square became beautiful and magical. Lin saw the pride on her father’s face. A little girl pointed and said, “Look, it’s magic!”
Lin held her father’s hand. “Dad,” she said softly. “For my project ... can I make a video? A video about the medicine of light?” He held her hand tightly and nodded, his eyes bright in the soft light. At that moment, they finally understood each other.

1. B 细节理解题。根据not these old things 及 It's out of fashion 可知，她最初认为灯笼是“过时的、没用的”。
2. D 推理判断题。根据第三段父亲讲述完祖辈故事后说的“These old things hold our family's light.”可知，父亲讲述故事的核心目的是让她明白，灯笼不仅是手工艺品，更是家族传统的载体，具有特殊价值。
3. C 推理判断题。根据第五段父亲的话 it brings light and hope 可知，the medicine of light 是比喻用法，父亲明确说明灯笼像“良药”一样传递光明与希望，即灯笼带来了幸福与希望。
4. D 推断态度题。通读第一、四、七段可知，一开始是愤怒，嫌弃灯笼过时；后来答应帮忙，但有点不情愿；最后理解了父亲的用意与传统文化的价值。D项符合。
