It was a cold morning, and Eduardo Ortega was nervous. He held a large envelope. In it was his dream.
"This is everything," he said. "I've worked for this since I was a young boy."
Eduardo remembered the long hours working in the fields, picking strawberries and beans. After the workday, his tired friends drank coffee or slept. Eduardo studied, read, and wrote poetry and short stories. Although he missed many classes, he became the school's best student.
One school year, Eduardo wrote an essay (文章) and won a prize - a flying trip to San Francisco. As he flew, he felt free from his life of hard work in the fields. He promised himself not to return to that life. He loved to fly.
This morning, Eduardo caught the school bus and went to school with the envelope. He walked past his classmates and sat down at his desk. He opened the envelope and began reading the letter inside. It was the answer to his application to the state university. It was also the answer to the beginning of his dream of becoming a pilot.
Even though Eduardo worked to help his family, his father always encouraged him to go to school. So, while he worked, he also studied.
Eduardo knew that his dream was his father's dream, too. His father was a smart man, but he was too poor to go to college. He loved to read, but never had time, because he worked long hours.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
The old Chinese saying
"as happy as spending the New Year" might be outdated now in the busy
modern world. The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival
for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together, like
Christmas in the West. But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring
Festival, however, have weakened in practice.
Setting off fireworks was
once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival. People thought the
sputtering(爆裂) sound could help drive away evil spirits.
However, the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities
for years as the government has taken security, noise and pollution factors
into consideration.
"In recent years, some
cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at
the Spring Festival, surrendering to(屈从于) public demand. Respecting
folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion," said Zhou
Xing, a folklore researcher.
"As people gain more
income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods, the New Year holiday is just
like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to
take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making
and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important
thing. However, many families would like to eat out to save time and energy,"
said Li Shunzhi, a resident of Harbin, Heilongjiang.
"I enjoy the holidays
very much in the countryside. My family has been preparing for the Spring
Festival more than two weeks before the holiday, cleaning the house, buying
holiday goods and decorating the house with paper cuttings. On New Year's Eve,
the whole family stays up to see the New Year in, and in the days to follow, a
series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern
festivals and temple fairs will be held. Without the ancient traditions, the
holiday is nothing to us," said Zhang Hui, from Hebei.
23．Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage
A．Setting off fireworks has been forbidden in some big cities for years.
B．Nowadays, people can light fireworks in some cities at the Spring Festival.
C．People believe that the sound of fireworks can drive away evil spirits.
D．In the past, setting off fireworks couldn't be seen almost anywhere.
24．What Li Shunzhi said implies .
A．what people do during the festival now is different from the past
B．people would like to have the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve
C．people prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than take a rest
D．the New Year holiday is just like any other day
25．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Zhang Hui often spends two weeks preparing for the Spring Festival.
B．Zhang Hui is used to spending the Spring Festival with his family.
C．Zhang Hui always takes part in a series of activities after the Spring Festival.
D．Zhang Hui lives in the urban area.
26．What does the whole passage show
A．The Spring Festival is as lively as before.
B．The Spring Festival is outdated now.
C． The Spring Festival is losing its qualities.
D．The Spring Festival in China is more important than Christmas in the West.
【答案】23．D
24．A

【解析】【分析】本文是夹叙夹议文，介绍了中国春节的传统习俗在逐渐消失的现象以及人们的不同观点。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇社会现象类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
23．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival"可知，过去放鞭炮是过春节最典型的传统习俗，应该到处可见，故选D。
24．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods, the New Year holiday is just like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing.

It was a cold morning, and Eduardo Ortega was nervous. He held a large envelope. In it was his dream.
"This is everything," he said. "I've worked for this since I was a young boy."
Eduardo remembered the long hours working in the fields, picking strawberries and beans. After the workday, his tired friends drank coffee or slept. Eduardo studied, read, and wrote poetry and short stories. Although he missed many classes, he became the school's best student.
One school year, Eduardo wrote an essay (文章) and won a prize - a flying trip to San Francisco. As he flew, he felt free from his life of hard work in the fields. He promised himself not to return to that life. He loved to fly.
This morning, Eduardo caught the school bus and went to school with the envelope. He walked past his classmates and sat down at his desk. He opened the envelope and began reading the letter inside. It was the answer to his application to the state university. It was also the answer to the beginning of his dream of becoming a pilot.
Even though Eduardo worked to help his family, his father always encouraged him to go to school. So, while he worked, he also studied.
Eduardo knew that his dream was his father's dream, too. His father was a smart man, but he was too poor to go to college. He loved to read, but never had time, because he worked long hours.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
The old Chinese saying
"as happy as spending the New Year" might be outdated now in the busy
modern world. The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival
for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together, like
Christmas in the West. But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring
Festival, however, have weakened in practice.
Setting off fireworks was
once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival. People thought the
sputtering(爆裂) sound could help drive away evil spirits.
However, the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities
for years as the government has taken security, noise and pollution factors
into consideration.
"In recent years, some
cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at
the Spring Festival, surrendering to(屈从于) public demand. Respecting
folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion," said Zhou
Xing, a folklore researcher.
"As people gain more
income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods, the New Year holiday is just
like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to
take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making
and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important
thing. However, many families would like to eat out to save time and energy,"
said Li Shunzhi, a resident of Harbin, Heilongjiang.
"I enjoy the holidays
very much in the countryside. My family has been preparing for the Spring
Festival more than two weeks before the holiday, cleaning the house, buying
holiday goods and decorating the house with paper cuttings. On New Year's Eve,
the whole family stays up to see the New Year in, and in the days to follow, a
series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern
festivals and temple fairs will be held. Without the ancient traditions, the
holiday is nothing to us," said Zhang Hui, from Hebei.
23．Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage
A．Setting off fireworks has been forbidden in some big cities for years.
B．Nowadays, people can light fireworks in some cities at the Spring Festival.
C．People believe that the sound of fireworks can drive away evil spirits.
D．In the past, setting off fireworks couldn't be seen almost anywhere.
24．What Li Shunzhi said implies .
A．what people do during the festival now is different from the past
B．people would like to have the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve
C．people prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than take a rest
D．the New Year holiday is just like any other day
25．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Zhang Hui often spends two weeks preparing for the Spring Festival.
B．Zhang Hui is used to spending the Spring Festival with his family.
C．Zhang Hui always takes part in a series of activities after the Spring Festival.
D．Zhang Hui lives in the urban area.
26．What does the whole passage show
A．The Spring Festival is as lively as before.
B．The Spring Festival is outdated now.
C． The Spring Festival is losing its qualities.
D．The Spring Festival in China is more important than Christmas in the West.
