The traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival, or Dragon-Head-Raising Festival, falls on the second day of the second lunar month every year, and stands for the start of spring and farming.
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's 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), and spring rolls dragon's scales (long lin).
25.What did ancient people believe after Dragon-Head-Raising Festival?
A. The dragon lifts his head.
B. There's more rainfall.
C. The dragon is still sleeping.
D. There's less rainfall.
26. What does the underlined word "agrarian" mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Agricultural. B. Industrial. C. Travelling. D. Manufacturing.
27. What do people eat in Suzhou during the festival?

B. Fried beans.
C. Chengyao cakes.
D. Dumplings.
28. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The History and Development of China’s Longtaitou Festival
B. Cut Your Hair on China’s Longtaitou Festival
C. The Culture and Traditions of China’s Longtaitou Festival
D. Food About China’s Longtaitou Festival

A Bright Idea
Evans was from a village of Africa. He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp(煤油灯). Evans’ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason, so they remained poor for the rest of their lives.
Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for school children but for the whole family. First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light can hurt people’s eyes. Besides, it can lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up.
One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar(太阳能的) light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps.
Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money to many villagers, who only earned around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. First, Evans used recycled materials. Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave away money to his team, so the lamps were usually free.
Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, “Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook.” The solar lamps made a big difference.
29. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Leaving school.
B.Doing homework.
C.Having eye problems.
D.Having a bright idea.
30. How many problems about kerosene lamps are mentioned according to Paragraph 2?
A.6. B.5. C.4. D.3.
31. Why does the writer give Julia’s example in Paragraph 5?
A.To share Julia’s experience.
B.To show Evans’ influence.
C.To describe Evans’ feelings.
D.To introduce Evans’ invention.
32. What is Evans like according to the passage?
A.Polite, talented and humorous.
B.Quiet, smart and honest.
C.Humorous, clever and friendly.
D.Hard-working, loving and creative.
