语篇解读：

七夕坐看牵牛织女星是民间的习俗。

相传，每年的这个夜晚是织女与牛郎在鹊桥相会的日子，所以七月初七也被称为中国的“情人节”。

4．WhichofthefollowingstatementsisNOTtrue?

A．NiulangandZhinülivedintheJinDynasty.

B．VegaisontheeastoftheMilkyWay.

C．TheconstellationofAquilaisonthewesternsideoftheMilkyWay.

6．Whatdoestheunderlinedwordinthesixthparagraphprobablymean?

A．Stickto.　　　　　　B．Giveup.

C．OperateD．Stand.

解析：

选D　词义猜测题。

根据第六段内容可知，画线词所在句指牛郎和织女相信他们的爱情能经受得住（withstand）他们之间的分别。

stand“容忍，忍受”，与画线词意思相近。
