    　　Chinese culture has many, many festivals commemorating（纪念）some unusual events. Dragon Boat Festival is one such festival. The main thing to do on this day is to eat zongzi, the glutinous rice（糯米）dumpling.

    　　In some places, people race boats that are colorfully decorated（装饰）with dragon designs, but I have never seen such a race. I have, however, eaten lots of zongzi. You can buy them or eat homemade ones. They are commonly eaten as a snack food. Tile rice may be white, and it may have some red bean paste（红豆沙）inside. Sometimes the rice is brown from a sauce and inside is a small chunk（块）of ham. In any case, each one is wrapped in reed leaves and steamed, I suppose, for a long time. At first, I thought they were rather tasteless, but I have developed a taste for them now, and I like to eat them, though once a year is enough.

    　　The origin of the zongzi is as strange as the food itself. There was a Chinese poet and official (Chinese officials in old times were always poets)named Qu Yuan. He was an official in the kingdom of Chu around 340~278 BC. China has a tradition of ministers（大臣）who give advice to the king, and Qu Yuan was such a minister. Qu Yuan advised the king of Chu to prepare for war because the state of Qin was ready to devour（吞灭）his state. But the king thought he was safe since the emperor of Qin seemed to be more interested in other, weaker states. But, finally, Qin did attack Chu, and the Chu kingdom was defeated.

    　　Qu Yuan was so sad about this that he killed himself by jumping into the Miluo River. His countrymen, on learning of this, rushed to the scene in small boats and tried to find his body. They failed to find it, so they made the dumplings wrapped in reed leaves and threw them into the river so the fish would eat the dumplings and not Qu Yuan's body. That day was the fifth day of the fifth lunar（阴历）month. Later, it became a ritual（仪式）to eat the zongzi and to hold dragon boat races on that day every year.

    (1) What do people mainly do on Dragon Boat Festival?

    [　　]

    A．They eat zongzi.

    B．They all go boating.

    C．They swim in the river.

    D．They all buy something to throw into the river.

    (2) According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?

    [　　]

    A．The author becomes so interested in zongzi that he eats them once a month.

    B．The tale of how the zongzi came into being is even stranger than the food itself.

    C．The king of Chu didn't like Qu Yuan's advice and killed him.

    D．Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated in commemoration of the death of Qu Yuan.

    (3) Qu Yuan killed himself because ________

    [　　]

    A．the king of Chu didn't take his advice, and as a result the Chu kingdom was defeated by Qin

    B．the Chu kingdom was the weakest state

    C．he couldn't live a good life

    D．he wanted to show his bravery in face of danger

    (4) What is the purpose of this text?

    [　　]

    A．To tell the readers about different kinds of zongzi.

    B．To give information about the war in old times.

    C．To tell the readers about the zongzi, as well as the origin of Dragon Boat Festival.

    D．To recommend that the readers eat more zongzi.

    　　China has a wealth of classical literature dating from as far back as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and including the Classics, whose compilation(收集，选编)is attributed to Confucius．Among these, the most important classics in Chinese literature include the Yijing, the Shijing, the Shujing, the Liji, the Chunqiu and the Lunyu．

    　　The earliest and most influential poetic collection was the Chuci, made up mainly of poems by Qu Yuan and his follower Song Yu．The songs in this collection are more lyrical and romantic and represent a different tradition from the earlier written Shijing．During the Han Dynasty, this form developed into the fu, a poem usually composed in rhymed verse except for the introductory and concluding passages, which are often in the form of questions and answers．

    　　Classical poetry in China reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty．The early Tang period was best known for a number of poetic styles including the lushi, an eight-line poem with five or seven words in each line; and the jueju, a four-line poem with five or seven words in each line．The two best-known poets of this period were Li Bai and Du Fu．Li Bai was known for the romanticism in his poetry, while Du Fu was seen as a Confucian moralist with a strict sense of duty toward society．

    　　Later Tang poets developed greater realism and social criticism within their work and improved the art of narration．One of the best known of the later Tang poets was Bai Juyi, whose poems were an inspired yet critical comment of the society of his time．

    　　As the classical style of poetry became redundant(多余的), a more flexible poetic medium, the ci, arrived on the scene．The ci, a poetic form of Central Asian origin based on the tunes of popular songs, was developed to its fullest by the poets of the Song Dynasty．

    (1)

    According to the passage, in contrast to the Shijing, the Chuciwas ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    different in terms of style and tradition

    B．

    created earlier and considered more influential

    C．

    made up of poems by a larger range of poets

    D．

    more different from the fu during the Han Dynasty

    (2)

    Among the poets mentioned in the passage, whose poems were considered to be romantic?

    [　　]

    A．

    Li Bai and Du Fu．

    B．

    Bai Juyi and Li Bai．

    C．

    Qu Yuan and Li Bai．

    D．

    Du Fu and Qu Yuan．

    (3)

    Compared with poets of early Tang, Bai Juyi’s poems were more ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    flexible and lyrical

    B．

    practical and romantic

    C．

    pessimistic and realistic

    D．

    realistic and critical

    (4)

    Unlike the classical poetic forms, the ci of the Song Dynasty was ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    often in the form of questions and answers

    B．

    based on the popular poems at that time

    C．

    a little more flexible poetic form

    D．

    similar to the earliest style of poetry

    As we all know, the Dragon Boat Festival is our country’s traditional festival, but do you know there is also a Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea, which also falls on May 5 of the lunar calendar(阴历)? It has been reported that South Korea will apply to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO 联合国教科文组织) to make the celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival its own intangible cultural heritage (非物质的文化遗产). If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation.

    As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation. "It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage ahead of China," said Zhou Heping, deputy(副) culture minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event.

    It is thought that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan (340-278 BC), who lived in the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. Qu was known to be a patriot (爱国者) and admired by ordinary people.

    He is said to have jumped into Miluo River, because he had lost hope in his country's future. When people heard about Qu's death, they sailed up and down the river searching for his body. They also beat the drums to frighten away the fish and threw Zongzi into the water to stop the fish touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said to come from this search for the poet's body.

             Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Viet Nam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed with and become part of the local culture.
