答案：1. **答案**：B
- **解析**：根據(jù)文章第一段“The Double Ninth Festival, also known as the Chongyang Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.”可知，重陽節(jié)在農(nóng)歷九月初九慶祝，所以選B。
2. **答案**：A
- **解析**：由第一段“The number nine is considered lucky in Chinese culture, symbolizing long life.”可知，數(shù)字9象征著長壽，所以選A。
3. **答案**：B
- **解析**：根據(jù)第二段“According to ancient traditions, on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, evil (邪惡的) spirits are the most active. Climbing to a high place is thought to help people get far away from those spirits.”可知，人們在節(jié)日期間爬山是為了遠(yuǎn)離邪惡的 spirits，所以選B。
4. **答案**：C
- **解析**：“drive away”意思是“驅(qū)趕；趕走”。選項(xiàng)C“raise prices, for it will drive away the young and poor people”（提高價(jià)格，因?yàn)檫@會把年輕人和窮人趕走）中“drive away”符合“驅(qū)趕；使……離開”的意思；選項(xiàng)A“succeed”（成功）和選項(xiàng)B“used for 15 years”（使用15年）與“驅(qū)趕”無關(guān)，所以選C。
5. **答案**：C
- **解析**：文章主要介紹了重陽節(jié)的不同習(xí)俗和傳統(tǒng)，如爬山、吃重陽糕、插茱萸等，所以目的是介紹一個(gè)有不同習(xí)俗和傳統(tǒng)的節(jié)日，選C。
