美国博物馆里的中秋节
The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of China’s most beloved traditional holidays. This year, it falls on September 25. Recently, the Bowers Museum in California, the US, held a large celebration.
Visitors enjoyed many activities. There were Chinese music and dance shows, a fashion show, tea ceremonies and kung fu shows. People could also watch videos about giant pandas and white dolphins, try Chinese paper-cutting and traditional printing, and even put on traditional Chinese attire, such as hanfu and qipao, for photos.
Tianlong Jiao, a museum director, said events like the Mid-Autumn Festival give local people a fun, easy way to learn about Chinese culture. “We hope people in the US can have a better understanding of Chinese culture through such events, and these experiences can help build connections between different cultures,” he said.
The Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates the full moon, which means family reunion and harmony. The Bowers Museum, opened in 1936, has eight halls, and one of them focuses on China. It often works with museums in China.

1.1. What could visitors do at the events?
A Watch videos about pandas.
B Sell mooncakes to people.
C Make kung fu films.
D Dance with white dolphins.
解析：选A。A 细节理解题。第二段写明People could also watch videos about giant pandas and white dolphins，游客可以观看大熊猫的影片，故选A。B “卖月饼给人们”文中完全没有提及（全文未出现月饼），属无中生有；C（拍功夫片）、D（与白海豚共舞）均为曲解文意。故选A。
2.2. The underlined word “attire” in Paragraph 2 probably means ____.
A 食物
B 服装
C 建筑
D 乐器
解析：选B。B 词义猜测题。根据第二段的“put on traditional Chinese attire, such as hanfu and qipao, for photos”可知，人们可以穿上传统中国服饰，如汉服和旗袍来拍照。“put on”表示“穿上”，汉服和旗袍都属于服装，因此“attire”最可能意思是“服装”。A项“食物”、C项“建筑”、D项“乐器”都不符合语境。故选B。
3.3. Why did the Bowers Museum hold such events according to Jiao?
A To make the museum famous.
B To sell more mooncakes.
C To teach visitors kung fu.
D To help people know China better.
解析：选D。D 细节理解题。第三段引博物馆主任焦天龙的话We hope people in the US can have a better understanding of Chinese culture through such events，由此可推断，办这类活动是想帮人们更好地了解中国，故选D。A（出名）、B（卖月饼）、C（教功夫）文中均未提及其为办活动目的，属无中生有。故选D。
4.4. What can we infer about the Bowers Museum?
A It has a long history.
B It shows only Chinese art.
C It was opened in 2026.
D It never works with China.
解析：选A。A 推理判断题。末段说“The Bowers Museum, opened in 1936”，从1936年建馆算起，到现在已90年，由此可推断它历史悠久。B说“只展出中国艺术”，但“末段明确has eight halls, and one focuses on China”，中国展厅只是八个中的一间，属以偏概全；C“2026 年开馆”与原文1936年相反，颠倒是非；D“从不与中国合作”与末段“often works with museums in China”正好相反，颠倒是非。故选A。
5.5. What is the best title for the passage?
A The History of a Museum.
B Mooncakes and Chinese Tea.
C Festival Fun at a US Museum.
D How to Make Mooncakes.
解析：选C。C 主旨大意题。全文围绕美国博物馆为中秋节办庆祝活动展开：活动内容→策展人的期望→中秋的象征与博物馆背景，故C项Festival Fun at a US Museum最贴切。A只是第四段讲博物馆历史时的细节，以偏概全；B 项 “Mooncakes and Chinese Tea” 中，只有茶道（tea ceremonies）是第二段活动之一，月饼在文中并未出现，故排除；D全文并未谈论制作月饼，无中生有。故选C。
