I am from Beijing. Every Spring Festival, I go
to the Baiyun Temple for its Miaohui, or temple fair
(庙会). It's a fun event. My favorite activity is "da
jin qian yan". People throw coins at a large wooden
coin. At the center of this coin, there is a bell. They
say hitting it brings good luck.
This Miaohui is only one of many in China.
37
It had to do with religion(宗教). Long ago,
Buddhism and Taoism(佛教和道教) both wanted to
attract more people. They built temples(庙宇) to do
so. As more visitors came, shops opened near the
temples. 38 This is how Miaohui began.
Later, cultural activities were held at Miaohui.
These included god worship and folk performances.
The most famous was Xingxiang. People put
Buddha statues on floats and paraded them.
39 People would go to Miaohui to buy and
sell goods. This was the most popular during the
Ming and Qing Dynasties. People also went to
Miaohui to celebrate Chinese New Year and some
other holidays.
Today people have more to enjoy at Miaohui.
For example, Longfusi Miaohui shows folk crafts
(技艺) and organizes different cultural events, such
as Beijing opera. 40 These activities help people
experience traditional Chinese culture in a fun way.
The name Miaohui is still fitting today as most fairs
still happen near temples.
A. Would you like to go and visit the temple fair?
B. For this reason, temples became fewer and
fewer.
C. Some fairs even hold traditional wedding
celebrations.
D. Over time, Miaohui became less about religion
and more about business.
E. Do you know how the tradition started?
F. People could visit the temples and shop at the
same time.
37.

答案： 37. E 根据下文“It had to do with religion.”可知，庙会起源与宗教有关，所以此处应该引出关于庙会传统如何开始的问题；E项符合语境。
38. F 根据上文“As more visitors came，shops opened near the temples.”可知，庙宇附近开了商店，所以这里应进一步说明人们在庙会可以做的事情；F项“人们可以同时参观庙宇和购物”符合语境。
39. D 根据下文“People would go to Miaohui to buy and sell goods.”可知，人们去庙会买卖商品，结合上文庙会起源与宗教的关系，所以此处是指随着时间推移，庙会变得不那么与宗教相关，而更多与商业有关；D项符合语境。
40. C 上文“For example，Longfusi Miaohui shows folk crafts and organizes different cultural events，such as Beijing opera.”列举了庙会上的活动，那么这里应进一步说明庙会上丰富的活动；C项“一些庙会甚至举办传统的婚礼庆典”符合语境。
