27、抬头【语篇解读】该文主要介绍了中国的传统节日龙抬头，包括其文化和习俗等。【高级句式】Some believe that going to the barber on this day gets rid of bad luck, while others believe getting a haircut during the first month of the lunar calendar brings bad luck.(Para.4)分析：while连接两个分句，每一个分句中又包括一个宾语从句。句式结构(Some believe that.，while others believe.)整
28、齐，用于阐述不同的观点或作对比，考生可借鉴。1B考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句“Ancient people believed that after this day, rainfall increases because the rainbringing Dragon King has awakened from his winter sleep”可知，古代人们认为，龙抬头后降雨量会增加。2A考查词义猜测。根据画线词所在句中的“ancient”“Chinese culture”并结合常识可知，中国古代以农业为主，因此龙抬头是为了庆祝中国的农业文化，故选A。3C考查细节理解。根据最后一段第三句
29、“Eating chengyao cakes, which are made with sticky rice, during the festival is a tradition in Suzhou, East Chinas Jiangsu province”可知，苏州人在龙抬头节日那天会吃“撑腰糕”来庆祝。【干扰项分析】A项是福建人的传统；B项是山东人的传统；D项并没有特别指出是哪个地方的传统，文中只是解释了饺子的命名和龙抬头节日的关系，故排除。4C考查主旨大意。 根据对文章的整体理解可知，本文主要讲述了中国传统节日龙抬头的文化及传统，故选C。【干扰项分析】文章中并没有提到龙抬头的发展历
30、程，故A项错误；剪头发只是龙抬头的一个传统，是文章的一部分内容，有以偏概全之嫌，故 B项错误；D项错在龙抬头的食物也是文章的一部分内容，不能概括全文，故排除。B体裁：夹叙夹议文题材：个人经历主题：如何庆祝新年【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。过去两年作者在国外旅游、生活，作者认为家不只是一个地方，而是一种感觉；新年是和家人、朋友团聚的时刻，作者经常通过和朋友们一起旅游来庆祝新年。【难句分析】I do not care about“New Years resolutions (新年计划)” living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what
31、kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I dont feel the need to plan for change：I live for change.分析：句中what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life 为and连接的两个宾语从句，作reconsider的宾语；so I dont feel the need to plan for change: I live for change为so引导的结果状语从句。译文：我不在意新年计划生活
32、在国外不断让我重新考虑我想成为什么样的人，我将如何生活，所以我觉得没有必要为改变做计划：我为改变而活。5C考查代词指代。根据第一段倒数第二句“Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows”可知，家不再是一幅有前门和一些窗户的房子的图画；结合画线词所在句“It is more complicated than that”可知，该句的主语It指代前一句中的“Home”，故C项正确。6B考查细节理解。根据第二段第二句“I do not care aboutNew Years resolutions(
33、新年计划) living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I dont feel the need to plan for change：I live for change”可知，作者的生活不断变化，所以他认为没有必要在意新年计划，故B项正确。7C考查细节理解。根据第三段尾句“In the middle of the countryside, away from our constantly changing liv
34、es, we were able to become like a little family again”可知，和朋友待在乡村的中心，远离不断变化的生活，作者找到了家的感觉；根据第四段尾句“It was different, but one thing stayed very much the same I felt at home again and we felt like a family again”可知，作者和朋友们在一起，感觉又回到了家，感觉又像一家人了。据此可知，文章中提及作者和朋友在爱尔兰和巴塞罗那的经历旨在说明和朋友待在一起能让人有找到家的感觉，故C项正确。8A考查主旨大意
35、。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者由于常年旅居在国外，对于庆祝新年和新年计划有着不同的思考：有朋友的地方就有家的感觉，变化着的生活不需要新年计划，故A项最适合作文章标题。.完形填空体裁：记叙文题材：人物故事主题：Markita通过努力为自己和母亲赢得了一次免费的旅游机会【高频词回顾】participate v参加desire n愿望uniform n制服courage n勇气【语篇解读】13岁的时候，Markita得知帮助女童子军杂志卖饼干最多的人会获得免费全球双人游的机会，她想赢得这个机会，后来在自己的努力下，她实现了愿望。1B根据上文中的“make enough money to send
36、 you to a famous college”可推知，此处表示：当你毕业了，你能赚足够的钱，带我去环游世界，故选B。2D根据该句中的“magazine”可知，Markita是在杂志上读到这则消息的，故选D。3A根据第14空后的“her free trip”可知，只要卖得饼干最多，就可以获得两人免费旅游的机会，故选A。4D根据下文的内容可知，她决定参加这个活动，故选D。5D根据上下文内容可知，只有一个强烈的(burning)愿望是不够的，故选D。6C根据下文中的“her aunt advised”可知，她向她的姑母寻求一些建议，故选C。7A根据第四段第二句中的“She worked in h
37、er uniform each day”可知，她的姑母建议她穿上女童子军的制服，故选A。 8B根据第9空后的“Smile to people”可知，这里讲述的是推销商品时的礼节。由此可知，她的姑母建议她在做生意的时候，穿着要像认真做生意的样子，故选B。9C参见上题解析。A项意为“自然地”；B项意为“舒适地”；C项意为“认真地”；D项意为“随意地”。10A根据前一句“Smile to people”并结合语境可知，无论他们买不买你的东西，要表现得友好，故选A。11C根据下文中的“but only Markita made it”可知，Markita的许多女同学也在努力想要赢得这次旅行，但只有她成
38、功了，故选C。12B根据上文中的“going door to door after school”可推知，Markita每天放学后挨家挨户地推销饼干，她已经将非常害羞的自己转变为一个饼干推销专家，故选B。13D根据第1空后的“only Markita made it”以及第12空后的“a cookieselling expert”可知，那年她成功地卖出了3 526盒女童子军饼干，赢得了和母亲一起免费环游世界的机会，故选D。14A参见上题解析。A项意为“赢得”。15B根据下文中的“she has found the secret of success: Courage to ask”可知，Mar
39、kita并不比其他人聪明，她与其他人唯一的差别就是她找到了成功的秘密，即要有问的勇气，故选B。16B参见上题解析。17D根据该空后的“they do not have courage to face the fear of _18_”可知，很多人在尝试之前就失败了，因为他们没有勇气去面对被拒绝的恐惧，这也导致我们中的很多人放弃(give up)了自己的梦想，故选D。18C参见上题解析。C项意为“拒绝”，符合语境。19A参见17题解析，故选A。20C根据第16空后的“she has found the secret of success：Courage to ask”可知，Markita发现了成
40、功的秘密；由此可知，此处表示：如同Markita所发现的那样，勇气并不是无所畏惧，故选C。.短文改错Last year, my friend and I went to visit the Yellow Mountain. We carried two backpacks, tha turned out to be pretty heavie for the hike.

42、y inviting.that改为which。考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处是一个定语从句，先行词是backpacks，应用which引导该非限制性定语从句，在从句中作主语。heavier改为heavy。考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，此处pretty，是副词，相当于very，并没有比较的含义，故用形容词原级即可，将heavier改为heavy。experiencing改为experienced。考查形容词。根据句意可知，此处表示“我不是一个经验丰富的远足者”，应用experienced“经验丰富的，有经验的”，experiencing没有这个意思。make改为made。考查动词的时态。与
43、上文中的“Last year”呼应可知，事情发生在过去，故用一般过去时。great改为greatly。考查副词。一般用副词修饰动词，在句子中作状语，故用greatly修饰动词encouraged。me改为myself。考查反身代词。与句子的主语I呼应可知，此处应用I的反身代词myself作动词pull的宾语，表示“使自己振作起来”。After后加a。考查冠词。hike是可数名词，被“threehour exhausting”修饰，表示“一次三个小时的令人筋疲力尽的远足”，且threehour的发音以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a修饰。sceneries改为scenery。考查名词。scenery是不可数名词，没有复数形式。For改为To。考查固定搭配。表示“令某人快乐的是”应用to ones pleasure，介词to在此表示“某事发生时某人的反应”。删除much。考查副词。very是副词，可修饰形容词，在句子中作状语，而much是副词，一般修饰形容词的比较级，此处修饰形容词inviting应用副词very，故删除much。
