The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the three major Chinese traditional festivals, along with Spring Festival and the Moon Festival. Of the three, it is possibly the oldest, dating back to the Warring States Period. As the term suggests, dragon-boat is a boat caved like a dragon. The origin of the dragon-boat race is related to Quyuan, a senior official of Chu in the period of the Warring States. He hated the crafty sycophants in the important positions. At last, he was squeezed out by them and exiled. He threw himself into a river on the fifth of the fifth lunar month in 278 BC. The local people organized spontaneously to rescue him by rowing boat. However, the rescue ended in vain. This common practice developed into the dragon-boat sports to memorize Quyuan.
The dragon-boat race has become a custom since Tang Dynasty. To win the race, the following must be concerned about:
1. High quality wood. Heavy wood will affect the speed, so it is usually made of light wood.
2. Players with energy, endurance and rowing skills. The method to choose excellent oarsmen is interesting. Two contestants sit in the same boat back to back. They both row to the directions they are facing, and the one whose direction the boat moves to is the winner. He will be chosen as the player.
3. Excellent dispatch. Since there are scores or even a hundred oarsmen on a boat, they can not win the game until they are in the same step. A strong man beat a drum in the center of the boat, and the oarsmen unity the rhythm accordingly, which helps them to be in step to win the game.
Last but not least, an excellent coxswain is very important. The boat moves forward like a lightning once it sets off. It is not easy to adjust if it moves off the right direction.
Nowadays, dragon-boat race has been a world competitive game. The first world dragon boat championship was held in China in 1995. Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races are held outside China in cities from Vancouver to Sydney, from Gdansk, Poland to Cape Town, South Africa. Canada alone has nearly 50 dragon boat teams and Germany has nearly 30. It is influencing the world with its special power.
As for the Dragon-Boat Festival, which statement is right?
选项
A、People from other countries feel sorry for Quyuan’s death.
B、China is the champion among the first world dragon boat race.
C、The two countries Gdafisk and Poland both like the dragon boat activity.
D、The dragon boat race has gone beyond national boundary.
答案
D
解析
最后一段提到龙舟比赛已经成为一项国际赛事,这只能说明世界关注这项具有民族特色的活动,但并不意味着其他国家的人也同样为屈原的离去感到悲伤,A项说法过于牵强;该段提到首届世界龙舟锦标赛在中国举行,并没有说明冠军由哪个国家获得,“championship”意为锦标赛,而不足“冠军”,考生不可将两者混淆,故B项错误;根据“Cape Town, South Africa”可知,开普敦属于南非这个国家,由此可以推断出,格但斯克属于波兰这个国家,故C项错误,正确答案为D项。
