　Unit 1　Festivals around the world Ⅰ.阅读理解 A [2023年·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)． 1．What did ancient people believe after Dragon－Head－Raising Festival?

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? 5．What does the underlined word “It\” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Family. B．Living abroad. C．Home. D．Staying with friends. 6．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. 7．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 frien
