22、语篇解读】本文主要介绍了傣族泼水节的庆典活动。1.observed考查非谓语动词。festival和observe有逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用动词-ed形式作定语。2.activities考查名词复数。activity是可数名词,根据上文的“Thefirsttwodays.”及后面的are可知要用复数形式。3.celebration考查名词。分析句子成分可知,所填的词作主语,所以用名词形式。4.where考查状语从句。分析句子成分可知,此处是状语从句,表示地点,所以填where。5.is held考查时态和语态。hold和Adragonboatrace有逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态。6.to ring考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,所填的词作目的状语,所以用动词不定式。7.colourfully考查副词。所填的词修饰动词lit,所以用副词形式。8.newest考查最高级。根据下文的best可知,此处用最高级与之并列。9.whether考查连词。此处意为“无论是近邻、乡亲,还是陌生人”,结合后面的or可知填whether。10.an考查冠词。expression“表达;表情”,在此是可数名词,表示泛指。由于它是以元音音素开头的单词,所以填an。
