【題目】閱讀下面的材料,根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容回答問題。

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 “臘” in Chinese, and the sacrifice for the gods, called “蠟” 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.

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

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

【3】When is the Laba this year?

【4】What is called "臘" in Chinese?

【5】Where is the best porridge made?

【答案】

【1】People usually remember the ancestors and eat Laba rice porridge.

【2】Yes, it is.

【3】on Jan. 24.

【4】The worship of ancestors and the sacrifice for the gods.

【5】In northern China, especially the capital of our country.

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了中國的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日——臘八節(jié)。

【1】根據(jù)第一段最后一句“Two of the customs on Laba are remembering the ancestors and eating Laba rice porridge”可知，人們?cè)谂D八那天通常會(huì)緬懷祖先和吃臘八粥。故答案為People usually remember the ancestors and eat Laba rice porridge.

【2】根據(jù)第一段“The 12th lunar month in Chinese is called la yue”可知，農(nóng)歷12月也叫臘月，所以農(nóng)歷8月不是臘月。故答案為Yes, it is.

【3】根據(jù)第一段“The Laba this year falls on Jan. 24.”可知，今年的臘八是1月24日。故答案為on Jan. 24.

【4】根據(jù)第二段“First, the worship of ancestors, called ‘臘’in Chinese, and the sacrifice for the gods, called ‘蠟’”可知，中國人把對(duì)祖先的崇敬、對(duì)神靈的祭祀稱為“臘”。故答案為The worship of ancestors and the sacrifice for the gods.

【5】根據(jù)第三段“The most wonderful porridge was made in northern China, especially the capital of our country.”可知，最好的臘八粥在中國北方，尤其是中國的首都。故答案為In northern China, especially the capital of our country.
