27、表示深深的爱。2.D细节理解题。根据Argentina:aweekofsweets部分第一段中的“ArgentinacelebratesValentinesDayinFebruary,butalsogivesawholeotherweektoloveinJuly.TheycallitSweetnessWeek.(阿根廷在二月份庆祝情人节,但是还在七月份,另外给了一个星期去表达爱。他们称之为甜蜜周)”可知,庆祝甜蜜周是在七月。3.C推理判断题。根据SouthKorea:threeisacharm部分第二段中的“ThenameWhiteDaycomesfromthecustomofgivingwh
28、ite-coloredgifts.(白色情人节这个名字来源于送白色礼物的习俗)”可以推知,在白色情人节,白色奶糖应该是好礼物。【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了圣帕特里克节的由来和传播。4.B推理判断题。根据第二段“Patrick,borninRomanBritain,wasbroughttoIrelandattheageof16.HewasthoughttobringChristianitytoitspeople.DuringthecenturiesafterPatricksdeaththatisbelievedtobeonMarch17,461,thestoryofhislifebe
29、camepopularintheIrishculture.(帕特里克出生在罗马时代的不列颠,16岁时被带到爱尔兰。人们认为他把基督教传播给人民。帕特里克被认为是在461年3月17日去世的,在他死后的几个世纪里,关于他一生的故事在爱尔兰文化中变得流行起来)”和第一段中的“TheIrishhavecelebratedSt.PatricksDayonMarch17everyyearforover1,000years.(爱尔兰人在每年的3月17日庆祝圣帕特里克节已有1000多年的历史)”可知,圣帕特里克出身于不列颠,但16岁后就到了爱尔兰,他的故事也成为爱尔兰文化的一部分,由此推知,圣帕特里克是爱尔兰
30、人。5.D主旨大意题。第三段提到,第一次圣帕特里克节游行不是在爱尔兰,而是在美国举行的。据记载,1601年3月17日,美国佛罗里达州曾举行过圣帕特里克节游行。一个多世纪后的1772年3月17日,思乡的爱尔兰士兵在英国军队中服役,在纽约游行,以纪念爱尔兰的圣人。人们对在纽约、波士顿和其他早期美国城市举行的圣帕特里克节游行的兴趣由此而来。1848年,纽约的几个爱尔兰社团决定联合他们的游行,组成一个正式的纽约市圣帕特里克日游行。由此可知,本段主要介绍了圣帕特里克节在美国的发展和传播历史。6.C词义猜测题。根据画线词后“asaresultofthepandemic”可推知,“werecanceled”
31、是流行病导致的结果,结合常识可知,流行病期间,所有聚集性活动,包括大游行,都会被取消,被阻止,所以画线词与stop同义。7.D推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章介绍了圣帕特里克节(St.PatricksDay)的由来和传播,所以文章的写作目的是介绍一个节日。.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍如何在节日期间采取措施来防止自己超支。1.D根据空后的逗号可知,所填内容中应该有连词,再根据下文“theadvertisingindustrytriestheirbesttoappealtoyouremotionsinordertomotivateyoutobuytheirproducts(广告行业会
32、尽最大努力来吸引你的情感,从而激励你购买他们的产品)”可知,D项(当你被吸引去购买某些产品时)符合语境。2.F根据上文“Everheardofthesaying,Afoolandhismoneyaresoonparted?(你听说过傻瓜花钱快这句话吗?)”可知,此处警告你不要做一个在花钱时毫不犹豫的人。F项中的parting与上文中的parted是词汇复现。3.G根据上文“Considerrenting.”及下文“Afterall,howoftenwillyoubewearingthatnormaldress?(毕竟,你多久会穿一次正规的衣服?)”可知,G项(在一个特殊的场合租一件衣服或一个包
33、实际上可以为你节省更多的钱)承上启下。G项中的renting与上文中的renting是词汇复现。4.A根据下文“Whenitcomestoclothes,youshouldoftenpickouttheunused.SellingthemoneBayorCarousellcangiveyouextracashtogoshoppingwith.(说到衣服,你应该经常挑选那些不用的。在eBay或Carousell上出售它们可以给你额外的现金去购物)”可知,本段主要讲的是卖掉你不需要的东西。5.E根据上文“Everytimeyoulookatyourclosetandorganizeit,youfindjusthowmanyitemsofclothingyouhave.(当你每次看到你的壁橱并整理它时,你会发现你有多少件衣服)”可知,这些会让你更不想去购物。E项中的this就指代前句内容。
