三、阅读理解(每小题 3 分,共 15 分)
The Mid-Autumn Festival is my favourite festival. It has a history of more than 2,000 years. During these 2,000 years, lots of Mid-Autumn traditions have been thought up by Chinese people. All the celebrations show the happiness and excitement of people. The main celebrations during the Mid-Autumn Festival are enjoying the full moon, eating moon cakes together and making lanterns. These three celebrations have been passed from generation(一代)to generation. Chinese people may think the Mid-Autumn Festival is not coming if they don't do these three things.
In some places in China, people celebrate the festival in different ways. In Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, people eat taros(芋头)to celebrate the festival, because the taro harvest occurs at the same time as the festival. They eat taros and hope the harvest will be good next year. In Nanjing, people cook duck with sweet-scented osmanthus(桂花), because they think sweet-scented osmanthus is a symbol of peace. In some places, people make fires inside towers to celebrate the festival, because they think the fire is a symbol of good business.
In the literary history of China, many poets wrote poems to praise(赞美)the pure moon of Mid-Autumn night and express their feelings. The following is one of the poems.
Thoughts in the Silent Night
The moonlight is shining through the window.
And it makes me wonder if it is the frost on the ground.
Looking up to see the moon.
Looking down I miss so much about my home town.
