2023高考英語閱讀理解特訓（1）
Nowadays, people in China are increasingly interested in celebrating foreign festivals, especially those western festivals.
A survey conducted recently by sina. com showed that among the 18,222 people surveyed 63.90% said celebrating Christmas is just another way of recreation, nothing serious, while 17.85% surveyed considered the festival as a fashion act, showing they were not out. These two parts clearly indicate the general opinion of the young. 10.45% people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthusiasm is absolutely ridiculous pursuit of foreign goodness. Only 7.80% of the people define Christmas as a kind of festival colonization(殖民)．
The arising of celebrating foreign festivals clearly has something to do with the advancement of Chinas economy. In my point of view, Christmas and other festivals celebrated in China have difference from the origin. They have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life. Shop owners pockets are filled, the publics hunger for happiness is filled, and that is enough. Foreign festivals in China are more like carnivals giving people pleasure and enjoyment.
The crisis(危機) of traditional Chinese festivals that are losing their attraction may be linked to the culture tradition and background of the festivals. Most Chinese festival culture is related more or less to real life. The country is based on its people while the people are relied on their food．
But the western culture shows much of romance. Some festivals have their religious background while others have much to do with culture and people. At this point, food seems to be too plain. Flowers and chocolates are more welcomed.
Foreign festivals in China today are celebrated for fun. They give people opportunities to relax and celebrate, to show appreciation and gratefulness. The acceptance of foreign festivals generally depends on the openness of the public, the familiarity with the western culture, and most importantly, on peoples economic status.

5．C。細節理解題。A項只有10.45%的人如此認為，most一詞錯誤；B項will disappear soon錯誤；D項只有17.85%的人這么認為，很明顯，half一詞錯誤；依據文章第二段倒數第二句可知C項正確。
6．A。細節理解題。依據文章第三段第三句中的They have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life.可知，A項正確；依據第三段中的have difference from the origin可知B項錯誤；C項文章沒有進行比較；D項文章用的是the publics hunger for happiness is filled，而非饑餓，故答案為A。
7．D。細節理解題。A項錯誤，文章第三段提及商家掙到了錢，公眾的幸福感得到了滿足，而并非外國的節日能夠讓店主的錢包迅速地鼓起來；B項too simple與原文不符；C項不是區別，兩種節日都與文化有關。依據文章第四、五兩段可知，D項正確，兩種節日的區別在于西方的節日浪漫，而中國的節日則與實際生活密切相關。
