【2016全国III卷】 If you are a fruit grower— or would like to become one— take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around.
It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.
【文章大意】作者向人们介绍了一个节日——Apple Day。由于这个节日非常受欢迎,现在已经演变成苹果月了。在英国,人们在十月份庆祝该节日,持续大约一个月的时间。

【2020合肥市高三第三次教学质量检测】The traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival, or Dragon -Head-Raising Festival, falls on the second day of the second lunar month every year, and recognizes the start of spring and farming. This year it falls on March 8.
Ancient people believed that after this day, rainfall increases because the rain－bringing Dragon King has awakened from his winter sleep. A well－known phrase goes, “Er yue er, long tai tou,” meaning,”On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head.”
The festival celebrates ancient agrarian Chinese culture, and while some of traditional ways to celebrate it are no longer practiced, others continue to exist.
The most famous tradition is getting a haircut. Some believe that going to the barber on this day gets rid of bad luck, while others believe getting a haircut during the first month of the lunar calendar brings bad luck. Another saying warns that cutting your hair in the first month will cause your uncle to die. Although today few pay attention to it, it was once a tradition to line up outside barbershops on the day of Longtaitou.
People eat tofu balls in East China’s Fujian province during the festival, and often make tofu and vegetable balls to pray for family and business. Fried beans are the traditional festival food for people in parts of Shandong province. Eating chengyao cakes, which are made with sticky rice, during the festival is a tradition in Suzhou, East China’s Jiangsu province, owing to the saying,” If you eat chengyao on Longtaitou, your waist won’t hurt all year.” Meanwhile other foods, like noodles, dumplings, and spring rolls, are named after dragon body parts to mark the day. Noodles are dragon’s beard (long xu), dumplings are dragon’s ears (long er), spring rolls dragon’s scales (long lin).
【语篇解读】该文主要介绍了中国的传统节日——龙抬头’包括其文化和习俗等。

【2020成都第三次诊断】For the past two years I have been travelling and living abroad. Home has become more of a feeling than a place. I feel at home when I am with my family in London, but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love. Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows. It is more complicated than that.
This is one of the reasons that celebrating the new year has become very important for me. I do not care about “New Year’s resolutions(新年计划)” — living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don’t feel the need to plan for change: I live for change.
New Year’s Eve has become my time to reconnect with the friends, which makes me feel at home. Every year we try to reunite wherever we are, and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family. It is a moment to reconnect and get to know each other again. Last year, we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had no Internet and no neighbours. In the middle of the countryside, away from our constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again.
This year we went to Barcelona. It was a very big change. We were surrounded by culture and life and joy. There were bars and parties. It was different, but one thing stayed very much the same — I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.
A lot of people feel that New Year’s Eve cannot live up to expectations. Ideas such as the “New Year’s kiss” and “resolutions” create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember, a night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year worth living. I think those people are missing the point. Why can’t New Year be about friends?

【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。过去两年作者在国外旅游、生活，作者认为家不只是一个地方，而是一种感觉；新年是和家人、朋友团聚的时刻，作者经常通过和朋友们一起旅游来庆祝新年。
9. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Family. B. Living abroad. C. Home. D. Staying with friends.
【答案】C
【解析】考查代词指代。根据第一段倒数第二句“Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows”可知，家不再是一幅有前门和一些窗户的房子的图画；结合画线词所在句“It is more complicated than that”可知，该句的主语It指代前一句中的“Home”，故C项正确。
10. Why doesn’t the author care about “New Year’s resolutions”？
A. New Year’s resolutions cannot be reached.
B. His lifestyle makes him always ready for change.
C. It’s meaningless to make any big changes in life.
D. Making New Year’s resolutions creates much pressure.
【答案】B
【解析】考查细节理解。根据第二段第二句“I do not care about‘New Year's resolutions(新年计划)’ — living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don't feel the need to plan for change：I live for change”可知，作者的生活不断变化，所以他认为没有必要在意新年计划，故B项正确。
11. What does the author try to convey through his experiences in Ireland and Barcelona?
A. Life is peaceful and enjoyable.
B. Living abroad is a happy experience.
C. Staying with friends makes one feel
