Reading
Hello Jenny,
I love autumn! The Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. It is on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar.
We also call it the Moon Festival. We believe that the moon is at its roundest
and brightest at this time of the year.
The Mid-Autumn Festival dates back more than two thousand years. It was
to celebrate the harvest of the year. Later, the festival gained more cultural
meanings. It is now a symbol of family reunion and gratitude. On this day, my whole family always gets together, has a wonderful dinner, and watches the full moon.
When I was a little boy, my grandma told me the story of Chang’e. I would look up and try to find her on the moon while enjoying delicious mooncakes.
Many great poets in China wrote about the festival. I like this poem best:
The sea mirrors the rising moon bright tonight;
Far apart from each other, our hearts share the moment.
I think there are many festivals celebrating the harvest all over the world. Do you know of any, Jenny
Bye for now!

四步還原法
首先，要仔細閱讀對話內容，理解上下文語境。其次，注意對話中的關鍵信息和提示詞，如本題中的“I’d love to!”，通常作為對邀請的積極回應，因此可以鎖定B 選項。然后，將選項與對話內容逐一對比，找到最符合語境的答案。最后，通讀對話，檢查所選答案是否使對話連貫、合理。
Language points
1. We believe that the moon is at its roundest and brightest at this time of the year
(1) 分析結構：這是一個含that引導的賓語從句的主從復合句。We believe 是主句，其中We 是主語，believe 是謂語；that the moon...the year 是賓語從句，其中that 是引導詞，the moon 是主語，is 是系動詞，at its roundest and brightest 是介詞短語作表語，at this time of the year 是時間狀語。
(2) believe 作及物動詞，意為“認為 ；相信”。常見用法：
① believe+（that）從句 相信/ 認為……（引導的句子在變成否定句時，要否定主句而不能否定從句。）
② It’s believed +（that）從句 人們認為……
③ believe it or not 信不信由你
e.g. I believe what he just said. 我相信他剛才說的話。
I don’t believe he is right. 我認為他是不正確的。
It’s widely believed that exercise can improve mental health.
人們普遍認為運動可以改善心理健康。
Believe it or not, our cat can open the refrigerator door by itself.
信不信由你，我們家的貓能自己打開冰箱門。
還可作不及物動詞，常見用法：believe in sb./sth. 信任某人/相信某物的存在
e.g. Boys and girls, believe in yourselves. 孩子們，相信你們自己。
辨析：believe 與 believe in
believe 表示相信某人的話，相信某事等。 We don't believe in her, so we don't believe what she says.
我們不信任她，所以我們不相信她說的話。
believe in 表示“信任，信賴”，多指品德、操守等方面可靠可信。 (3) “round adj. 圓形的”，在句中可作表語或定語。
e.g. The apple is red and round, and he put it on around plate.
這個蘋果又紅又圓，他把它放在一個圓盤子上。
“round prep. 環繞；在……周圍”，相當于 around
e.g. The earth moves round the sun.
地球繞著太陽轉。
(4) bright adj. 明亮的;鮮艷奪目的
相關詞形：① brightly adv. 明亮地 ② brightness n. 明亮
e.g. I like to read by the bright window during the day.
白天我喜歡在明亮的窗戶旁邊讀書。
The bright flowers in the garden attracted many butterflies.
花園里鮮艷奪目的花朵吸引了許多蝴蝶。
The stars shone brightly in the sky. 星星在天空中明亮地閃爍著。
bright adj. 聰明的
e.g. He is a bright and lovely boy. 他是個聰明可愛的男孩。
2. The Mid-Autumn Festival dates back more than two thousand years.
(1) date back 意為“始于；追溯到”，后面通常會接一個表示時間的名詞或短語，說明事物或概念追溯到何時。與date from 意思相近。
e.g. The custom dates back hundreds of years.
這一習俗可以追溯到幾百年前。
Many of the buildings in this city date back to the 19th century.
這座城市的許多建筑可以追溯到19世紀。
These Chinese characters dated from the Qin Dynasty.
這些漢字始于秦代。
date 的一詞多義：① n. 日期，日子，為可數名詞 ② v. 注明日期；確定年代
e.g. What’s the date today 今天是幾號？
Please date your homework. 請在作業上注明日期。
(2) “thousand num. 一”，thousand 前有several或具體數詞時，thousand后不加-s，也不與of連用
“thousand of 數以千計的”，后接名詞復數，其前不能加具體的數詞。與thousand用法類似的詞還有：hundred (一百)、million (百萬)、billion (十億)等。
e.g. He won support from several thousand people.
他贏得了數千人的支持。
There are about five thousand books in the school library.
學校圖書館里有大約五千本書。
e.g. There is an evening light show with thousands of kites.
晚上有成千上萬只風箏的燈光表演。
3. It was to celebrate the harvest of the year.
(1) 動詞不定式（短語）做表語，常表示目的、計劃、職責等內容。
e.g. The most important thing is to have fun.
最重要的是要玩得開心。
His duty is to look after his little sister at home.
他的職責是在家照顧他的妹妹。
(2) celebrate 既可作及物動詞，也可作不及物動詞，意為“慶祝；慶賀”。后面可以直接跟節日、勝利、成功或類似性質的詞作賓語，不可接人，也不可接that 從句。常見搭配：① celebrate with 與……一起慶祝；② be celebrated for 因……而著名，相當于be famous for；③ celebrate by 通過……來慶祝
相關詞形：celebration n. 慶祝；慶祝活動
e.g. We will celebrate your birthday with a big party.
我們將為你的生日舉辦一個盛大的派對。
Venice is celebrated for its beautiful buildings.
威尼斯以其美麗的建筑而聞名。
The students celebrate their graduation by wearing the bachelor’s caps and gowns. 學生們通過穿戴學士帽和長袍來慶祝畢業。
The family gathered for a celebration of their grandmother’s 90th birthday. 全家人聚在一起慶祝他們祖母的90 歲生日。
4. It is now a symbol of family reunion and gratitude.
symbol n. 象征；符號
a symbol of ……的象征
e.g. In China, the noodles on the birthday are a symbol of long life.
在中國，過生日時的面條是長壽的象征。
5. On this day, my whole family always gets together.
“whole adj. 全部的；整體的”，位于冠詞、物主代詞等限定詞后，即“限定詞+whole+名詞”
“all adj. 所有的；全部的”，位于定冠詞the、物主代詞等限定詞之前，即“all+限定詞+名詞”
e.g. All the students in our class study hard. We studied the whole day yesterday. 我們班所有的學生學習都很努力。我們昨天一整天都在學習。
6. I would look up and try to find her on the moon while enjoying delicious mooncakes.
(1) 結構分析：I ... moon 是主句，and連接兩個動詞短語；while引導省略了I was的時間狀語從句。注意：while引導的時間狀語從句時，后面用進行時態
(2) look up 為動詞短語，意為“抬眼看；查找”。當look up 與代詞連用時，代詞應放在look 和up 之間。
e.g. We looked up at the stars twinkling in the night sky.
我們仰望夜空中閃爍的星星。
Can you look up the opening time on the website
你可以在網站上查一下開放的時間嗎？
常見的“look + 介詞或副詞”短語有：① look for 尋找 ② look over 檢查 ③ look forward to 期待；盼望 ④ look after 照顧；照料 ⑤ look through 瀏覽；翻閱 ⑥ look up and down 上下打量 ⑦ look out 當心；注意；向外張望 ⑧ look around 環顧四周
e.g. Please look over your homework before you hand it in.
在你交作業之前，請檢查一下。
I am looking forward to the summer vacation.
我期待著暑假。
Can you look after my cat while I’m away
在我離開期間，你能幫我照看我的貓嗎？
Look out! The car is coming. 當心！汽車來了。
(3) “while conj. 當……的時候；然而”，用法總結：
① 引導時間狀語從句，意為“當……的時候；在……期間”，表示兩個動作或事件同時發生。從句中的謂語動詞通常是延續性動詞，且從句可以放在句首或句末。
e.g. While I was cooking dinner, the phone rang.
當我在做晚飯的時候，電話響了。
We must strike while the iron is hot.我們必須趁熱打鐵。
② 表示對比關系，意為“而；然而”，用于連接兩個意義相反或相對比的句子。此時，while 連接的兩個句子是并列關系，但表達的內容形成對比。
e.g. You like sports, while I prefer music. 你喜歡運動，而我更喜歡音樂。
7. Many great poets in China wrote about the festival.
poet 作可數名詞，意為“詩人”。
相關詞形：① poem n. 詩；韻文
② poetry n. 詩歌（總稱）；詩集；詩作
③ poetic adj. 詩的；詩歌的；富有詩意的
e.g. My favourite poet is Li Bai, who wrote many beautiful poems.

8. Far apart from each other, our hearts share the moment.
moment n. 某個時刻；片刻
at that moment 在那時(常與過去時連用)
at this/the moment 現在；此刻(常與一般現在時或現在進行時連用)
for a moment 片刻
for the moment 目前；暫時
in a moment 馬上，立刻
after a moment /a moment later 過了一會兒
wait/just a moment 等一下
a moment ago 剛才
e.g. He is working in the garden at the moment. 此刻他正在花園里勞作。
9. I think there are many festivals celebrating the harvest all over the world.
結構分析：這是一個主從復合句，主句是I think，從句為there be 句型，celebrating the harvest是現在分詞短語作后置定語修飾festivals，all over the world 為地點狀語。
