A
Dear Michael,
How's your vacation? I'm visiting my uncle in Spain. He lives in Valencia, a
sunny and beautiful city in Spain.
Yesterday, I had great fun. My uncle took me to the Tomato Festival in Bunol,
which is just 30 miles away from where my uncle lives. The Tomato Festival is called
“La Tomatina” in Spanish. It was the biggest and messiest (脏的) tomato fight in
the world. My uncle told me the crowded people here were around 38,000 and this
was more than four times the population of Bunol.
The tomato fight started as soon as the first banger was beaten. Then everyone
including me started throwing tomatoes at each other. Tomatoes must be squashed
before people threw them in order not to hurt anybody. There was no winner in this
fight, but we all had fun. As soon as a second banger was beaten, people stopped
throwing.
I really had a great time. I wish you were here, too. I hope I will hear from you
soon. Take care.

In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December
6
26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking,
Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is
a public holiday. This means it's a nonworking day in the whole of Britain. When
Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public
holiday.
The exact origin( 起 源 ) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that
during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new
land, a Christmas box was placed by a priest (神父) on each ship. Those sailors who
wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed up and
kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the
priest in the exchange for the saying of a mass of thanks for the success of the sailing.
The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.
One more thought is about the “ Alms Box ” placed in every church on
Christmas Day. Worshippers (做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes
were always opened the day after Christmas. That is why that day became known as
Boxing Day.
Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional
spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating (捐赠) their time, services and money to aid
Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides,
spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.
59. If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on ____.
A. December 25th B. December 26th
C. December 27th D. December 28th
60. What does the underlined phrase “sealed up” mean?
A. 密封 B. 悬挂
C. 归还 D. 传递
61. The following activities can show the traditional spirit of Boxing Day EXCEPT
____.
A. offering gifts to the poor
B. supporting families in need
7
C. spending time with family
D. giving money to aid Food Banks
62. The purpose of the passage is ____.
A. to praise the kindness of priests
B. to introduce the origins of Boxing Day
C. to call on people to help the poor
D. to compare Boxing Day with Christmas Day
九、任务型阅读。(共 3 小题,每小题 2 分,共 6 分)
The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and is
also called the Double Ninth Festival. As both the month and the day are nine, it got
this name. To celebrate the day, people usually climb mountains and enjoy
chrysanthemums(菊花), so the festival is also known as the Height Ascending(登高)
Festival or the Chrysanthemum Festival. In China, nine has the similar pronunciation
with the word “forever”, meaning long life. So the Chinese government set the day
as the Seniors' Day. The festival has a history of over 2 , 000 years. During the
Warring States Period, there was the Chongyang Festival. During the Jin Dynasty,
there were customs of enjoying chrysanthemums and drinking wine on the day. It was
not officially set as a festival until the Tang Dynasty. Since then, all the people have
spent the festival with kinds of activities. In 1989, the Chinese government set the day
as the Seniors' Day.
As September has the clear sky and fresh air, it is a very good time to climb the
mountain. There will be a happy sense of excitement by climbing the mountain in this
season. Also, it is good for health. Since the Western Han Dynasty, it has been the
custom of climbing on the Chongyang Festival.
On that day, drinking chrysanthemum wine is regarded as a way to prevent
disasters and bad things. Inserting zhuyu and sticking chrysanthemums are also
traditions to avoid the bad as they have special smells which can repel(驱逐) insects
and keep out the cold.
Eating Chongyang cakes is another tradition on the festival. There is no fixed
8
way of the cake but the one with nine layers (层) with two sheep on it is the best. Two
sheep mean Chongyang. Nine layers show people can do well in everything.

The Spring Festival
The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China. It is also
called the Chinese New Year. Most people go back home to get together with their
family members and friends. Before it, people are busy shopping and cleaning.
On New Year's Eve, the whole family usually have a wonderful dinner. Before
dinner, people begin to make jiaozi. Jiaozi is a special kind of food for the Spring
Festival. The CCTV offers a special programme on that night. While watching TV,
people are eating jiaozi. When the clock strikes twelve, people wish each other a
happy new year and parents or grandparents give children lucky money. And at that
time, men go outside to set off fireworks.
