Qixi Festival. the Chinese equivalent of Valentine's Day that fell yesterday,was not only a disappointmentfor forgotten lovers. but also for businessmen left with empty pockets.
The cold reception has prompted cultural experts to seriously worry that the lovers' festival, marked for generations since the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), is dying out. Some have even called for legislation to make the festival a legal "Chinese Lovers' Day." which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar year.
But the effectiveness of such a measure is in doubt, although efforts to preserve traditional festivals are highly commendable.
A growing number of traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. share the same fate as the Qixi Festival.
Young people are showing less interest in traditional cultuce as symbolized by these festivals. Even if all traditional festivals are finally made legal, the risk of them becoming purely formalized celebrations with little meaning is not removed. If the younger generation fails to identify with the cultural significance of these holidays, there is little that can be done.
While complaining about traditional festivals' fading appeal decision-makers should reflect on cultural protection. Undeniably our country has done a bad job of preserving culture and traditional Festivals, compared to neighbouring Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROK).
The 2,500-year-old Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. The traditional customs and rituals of the occasion. which originated in China, have been better preserved in the ROK.
Only a few years ago did China begin to realize the signiticance of preserving intangible cultural heritage when the ROK planned to apply to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization iolist its version of the Dragon Boat Festival as an important example of intangible culture.
Concern about traditional holidays also reminds people of che growing influence of foreign cultures as thecountry opens wider to the outside world.With traditional festivals waning and imports such as Christmas and Valentine's Day gaining widespread popularity, the public including cultural professionals have tended to measure traditional Chinese festivals in economic terms.
Business rather than culture has begun to play a dominant role. More and more people are preoccupied with how much money can be generated during the holidays.
In fact what makes traditional festivals unique and what keeps them alive is their cultural elements. After all, it is unique culture that contributes to the world's diversity amid globalization.
1.The public look at the effectiveness of the legalization of the Qixi Festival with a(n)______________attitude.
2.By saying that a growing number of traditional Chinese festivals "share the same fate as the Qixi Festival", the author is worried that such festivals would_______________someday.
3.In what aspect do Japan and ROK do a better job than China?
4.It is implied by the author chai traditional Chinese festivals should be measured in______________terms.
5.What makes the world diversified amidst the frend of globalization?
答案：
1.[doubtful]
[定位]根據(jù)effectiveness和legalization查找到第2段最后一句和第3段。
解析：原文第2段中的in doubt表明公眾對七夕成為法定節(jié)日后可能產(chǎn)生的效果持有懷疑態(tài)度，回答本題時(shí)應(yīng)將doubt改為其形容司形式doubtful。
2.[die out]
[定位]根據(jù)worry查找到第2段第1句，根據(jù)a growing number查找到第4段。
解析：原文開頭三段以七夕為例說明中國傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日正受到冷遇，并擔(dān)心傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日會(huì)最終消亡，題目事實(shí)上是對原文前四段觀點(diǎn)的概括，根據(jù)would后用動(dòng)詞原形，可確定空白處應(yīng)填寫die out。
3.[In preserving culture and traditional festivals.]
[定位]根據(jù)ROK查找到第6段末句。
解析：原文該句中的比較點(diǎn)preserving...也是題目雙方的比較點(diǎn)，由此可見，preserving culture and traditional festivals為本題答案。
4.[cultural]
[定位]根據(jù)traditional festivals查找到倒數(shù)第3段末句和末段第1句。
解析：倒數(shù)第3段提出了現(xiàn)在大多數(shù)人從經(jīng)濟(jì)角度考量中國傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日的現(xiàn)象，但是末段用In fact來表轉(zhuǎn)折，表明作者實(shí)際上認(rèn)為“文化”(而非經(jīng)濟(jì))才是最重要的，由此可推斷，作者認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)從“文化的”角度考量中國傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，“文化的”可表達(dá)為cultural。
5.[Unique culture.]
[定位]根據(jù)globalization查找到末段末句。
解析：末段末句是一個(gè)強(qiáng)調(diào)句，表明是unique culture使世界變得多樣化，即為本題答案。
