分析 本文是介紹中國的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日中秋節(jié)，主要的慶祝方式是賞月吃月餅和制作中秋節(jié)燈籠，有些地方用不同的方式來慶祝，文中提到了廣東人吃芋頭，南京人用甜桂花酒燒鴨子，等等，中國歷史上還有很多詩人寫下賞月的詩句．

解答 56．D．細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)第一段A11 the celebrations show the happiness and excitement ofpeople．可知是展示幸福和人們的興奮，故選D．
57．C．細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)第二段The main celebrations during the Mid-Autumn Festiva1 are appreciating the moon，eating moon cakes together and making Chinese Mid-Autumn Festiva1 lantems．可知有三個，故選C．
58．B．細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)第三段In some places people make fires inside towers to celebrate the festiva1，because they think the fire is a symbo1 ofgood business可知是因為他們認(rèn)為火是好生意的標(biāo)志，故答案是B．

59．A，詞意理解題．根據(jù)前文The moonlight is shinningthrough the window是說月光照進(jìn)窗戶，And it makes me wonder ifit is the frost on the ground，結(jié)合常識可知月光照在地上就像霜一樣，故選A．
60．B．細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)最后Li Bai used hislines to express his homesickness at the Moon Festiva1．可知是用他的詩表達(dá)思鄉(xiāng)之情，故選B．
