A.whyCinyeemadeherselfknown

B.whodividedayearinto24parts

C.howCinyeeshowedthe24solarterms

D.whatStartofSpringandWhiteDewmean

【答案】6.A7,D8.D9.C

【解析】本文介绍了来自台湾的艺术家CinyeeChiu是如何用动物来展示24节气的。Cinyee把

每个节气都变成了一种动物。并且通过两个例子：鱼代表立春；浣熊代表白露。来加以说明。最后说明

了这位年轻的艺术家使中国古代文化焕然一新。

6.细节理解题。根据句子SoCinyeechosefishasasymbolofStartofSpring因此,Cinyee

选择鱼作为立春的象征。和句子ForWhiteDevyCinyeechosearaccoon—asmallanimalwith

thickhair.Shedrewwhitespots（小圆点）ontheraccoontoshowdew.对于白露这一节气,

6

CinyeeChiu选择了一只浣熊——一种长着浓密毛发的小动物。她在浣熊身上画了白点（小圆点）来

表示露水。可知，作者举了两个例子来说明Cinyee的"24节气"。故选A。

7.细节理解题。根据Cinyeechosearaccoon—asmallanimalwiththickhair.Cinyee选择了

一只浣熊-种长着浓密毛发的小动物。可知A不对选项B的句子StartofSpringfallsonabout

Dec.8.立春大约在12月8日左右。短文中并没有提到，因此B不正确；根据原文WhiteDewfallson

aboutSept.8.Itshowsthebeginningofthecoolautumn.白露在9月8日左右。它显示了凉爽的

秋天的开始。因此选项C.WhiteDewshowstheendoftheautumn白露表示秋末。是错误的;根

据第五段的句子Shedrewwhitespots（小圆点）ontheraccoontoshowdew.她在浣熊身上画了白

点（小圆点）来表示露水。可知，使用白点来显示露水。因此本题正确的答案为

CinyeeDo

8细节理解题。题干问哪一幅图不可能来自Cinyee的24节气。根据Cinyeeturnedeachsolar

termintoananimal.Cinyee可知，Cinyee把每个节气都变成了一种动物。而图片D是"画了一只

鸟的立春图"，是挂历性质的一幅图片，所以该选项不可能来自于的节气。故选

Cinyee24Do

9.主旨大意题。根据Amongthem,"24SolarTerms（节气）"isthemostpopular.其中，"24

节气"最受欢迎。以及下文的两个例子，主要用来说明Cinyee是如何用动物图片来展示24个节气的。

故选C。
