全国卷 初三 英语（上册）I think that mooncakes are delicious 节日专项练习

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. It falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, when the moon is believed to be the roundest and brightest of the year. Chinese people have celebrated this festival for over 1,000 years. Mooncakes are the special food of the festival. A round mooncake is a symbol of family reunion. Nowadays, besides the traditional mooncakes with nuts and lotus seed paste, young people are trying new kinds of mooncakes, such as ice-cream mooncakes and fruit mooncakes. A reporter asked 500 young people in five cities which kind of mooncake they liked best. The results were surprising: 45% of them preferred fruit mooncakes, 30% chose ice-cream mooncakes, and only 25% still liked the traditional ones. However, some old people don't think it is a good change. Mr. Chen, a 68-year-old man, said, "I believe that traditional mooncakes taste better, because they carry the memory of my childhood." A young teacher, Ms. Xu, disagreed. She said, "I think that new kinds of mooncakes make the festival more interesting to children. As long as the family sits together and enjoys the moon, the meaning of the festival will never change." 1. What does the underlined word "reunion" in Paragraph 2 most probably mean in Chinese? A. 团圆 B. 旅行 C. 竞争 D. 分别 2. According to the survey, how many of the 500 young people liked fruit mooncakes? A. 45 B. 125 C. 225 D. 300 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The Mid-Autumn Festival has a history of about 500 years. B. Most old people prefer fruit mooncakes to traditional mooncakes. C. Ms. Xu believes that new mooncakes help children enjoy the festival. D. Few Chinese people eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. 4. What is the best title for the passage? A. How to Make Delicious Mooncakes at Home B. The History of the Dragon Boat Festival C. Old and New Ideas About Mooncakes at the Mid-Autumn Festival D. Why Young People Dislike Traditional Festivals

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A recent news report shows how young people in China are helping traditional festivals travel abroad. Last year, a group of high school students in Changsha set up a "Festival Story" website. They wrote short English articles about the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Spring Festival, and they posted videos of people making mooncakes and zongzi. Within six months, the website was visited by readers from 28 countries. "I think that mooncakes are delicious, and I want more people to know why we eat them at the Mid-Autumn Festival," said Li Wen, the 15-year-old leader of the group. She believes that food is an easy way for foreign friends to understand Chinese culture. Every week, the students practice their English writing by keeping a diary in English, and they also improve their listening by watching English news. The website is now updated by two new student volunteers every month. More videos about traditional crafts will be added next year. The group hopes that Chinese festivals will be loved by more and more people around the world. Which of the following sentences uses the object clause correctly?
