C. But | | 阅读理解。 | For Chinese, it"s time for dragon boat racing and Zongzi. But in South Korea, wrestling and swing play
are the highlights. However, both events go by the same name-the Dragon Boat Festival. It falls on May 5th
of the lunar calendar.
One festival, two cultures. Does one nation have the right to call it its own? It has been reported that
South Korea will ask the United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO联合国教
科文组织) to make the celebration its cultural heritage (文化遗产). If successful, people from other countries
may see the Dragon Boat 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 (情
况). "It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own
cultural heritage before China," said Zhou Heping, deputy cultural minister. The Ministry of Culture is even
thinking of making its own application (申请) to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including
the Dragon Boat event.
"I don"t like some of the food eaten at the festival, but I am shocked by South Korea"s move," said Jin
Yutong, a Senior One student."We should protect the cultural heritage left by our ancestors (祖先)."
It is thought that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan (340-278BC), 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 fright away fish and threw Zongzi into water. These were supposed to stop the fish from
touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said to have come from the search for the poet"s body.
Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Vietnam, as well
as South Korea, the festival has mixed together with, and become part of the local culture.
With this in mind, some experts say that it is meaningless to argue (争论) about which country the festival
belongs. "Everyone can say that it came from China," said Long Haiqing, an expert from Hunan Province.
"But if the whole nation can protect the culture heritage together, they will all benefit." | | 1. Which of the following country is NOT mentioned about the Dragon Boat Festival spreading? | A. Japan
B. Vietnam

D. they won"t agree South Korea takes it as its own festival | | 3. Racing boats to celebrate the festival comes from the story that _____. | A. people searched for Qu Yuan"s body by boat
B. people searched for Qu Yuan"s boat
C. Qu Yuan enjoyed boating
D. Qu Yuan liked building boats | | 4. What can we infer (推断) from the last two paragraphs? | A. The festival is celebrated in the same way all over the world.

D. South Korea does not recognize that the festival is from China. | | 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文正确、通顺。每词限用一次。 | | try, candy, after, Such, something, watch, together, usual, south, clean | | 阅读理解。 | The first chocolate was eaten by people in South America hundreds of years ago. In those days, the people
did not really eat chocolate. They used the cocoa bean (可可豆) to make a chocolate drink and they enjoyed it
very much. Many years later, the cocoa bean was brought to other countries and people came to love the taste
of chocolate.
In 1824, John Cadbury opened a small shop in Britain. One of the things he sold was chocolate drink. In
1831, he opened a factory to make chocolate drink. He wanted to encourage people to drink chocolate instead
of other drinks. A few years later, a man called Joseph Fry found a way to make chocolate instead of only
drinking it. But at that time chocolate was very expensive and only the rich people could buy it. Later, ad more
and more chocolate bars were produced and sold, it became cheaper.
However, at first only plain chocolate (a kind of chocolate without milk and with very little sugar) was
produced. Milk chocolate came later and this was made by adding milk to the chocolate. The first milk
chocolate bar was made in Cadbury"s factory in 1897. Their most famous chocolate, Cadbury"s Milk Bar, was
made in 1905, It has been the most popular chocolate in Britain and around the world for over 100 years. The
