【题目】阅读下面的材料,根据材料内容回答问题。

Chinese people start to prepare for the Spring Festival more than 20 days ahead. The 12th lunar month in Chinese is called la yue, so the eighth day of this lunar month is la yue chu ba, or laba. The day is also known as the Laba Rice Porridge Festival. The Laba this year falls on Jan. 24. Two of the customs on Laba are remembering the ancestors and eating Laba rice porridge.

Remember the ancestors: At the end of the year, working people get more free time to prepare for the sacrifice (供奉) to the ancestors. The reason the 12th lunar month is called La Yue has a lot to do with the custom of sacrifice. First, the worship (崇敬) of ancestors, called “” in Chinese, and the sacrifice for the gods, called “” both often took place in the 12th month, which led to the traditional name of the month: la yue. Second, winter is the relaxed season for farmers so they have time to find things to bum in the sacrifice.

Laba rice porridge: There are several stories about the start of porridge eating on Laba: Some say it is of Buddhist origin (佛教) ; some say the porridge, made of red beans, can keep children away from evil things; others say the porridge is in memory of a poor couple. The custom of porridge eating has been well-known throughout history. The most wonderful porridge was made in northern China, especially the capital of our country. The main ingredients of the Laba porridge are rice and sticky rice. People also add sugar, red dates, lotus seeds, walnuts and other different kinds of materials to make the porridge special.

1What do people usually do on Laba according to the passage?

2The eighth lunar month in Chinese isn't called la yue, is it?

3When is the Laba this year?

4What is called "" in Chinese?

5Where is the best porridge made?

【题目】 Thank you for coming today to attend the graduation ceremony at No.3 Junior High School. First of all, I’d like to1[knɡrtulet] all the students who are here today. I remember meeting all of you when you were just starting Grade 7 at this school. You were all so full of energy and thirsty2 knowledge. And yes, some of you were a little difficult to deal with! But today I see a room full of talented young adults who are full of hope for the future. You’ve all grown up so much and I’m so proud of you.

Although you’ve all worked very hard over the last three years, none of you did it alone. I hope you’ll remember the important people in your lives who helped and 3[sptd] you—your parents, your teachers and your friends. Please consider what they’ve done for you and what they mean 4you. Never fail to be 5(thank) to the people around you.

6 (last), the end of junior high school is the beginning of a new life. I don’t need to tell you that life in senior high school will be harder and that you have many difficult tasks ahead of you. You’ll make mistakes along the way, but the key is to learn from your mistakes and never give up. But along with 7 (困难), there will also be many exciting things 8(wait) for you. Behind each door you open are chances to learn new things, and you have the ability to make your own choices. Choose wisely and be 9 (有责任的) for your decisions and actions. Although you have to go your separate ways now, I hope that in a few years’ time, you’ll come back to visit our school. As you set out on your new journey, you shouldn’t forget where you came from. The future is yours.

Good luck and hope to see you again sometimes soon!
