16、t they both have the same meaning.And they both mean family and presents for me!【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了由于作者的父母一个是犹太人,一个是印度人,所以作者喜欢分别庆祝两个不同文化的节日Hanukkah和Diwali,并且对两个节日作了简单的介绍。1.Why does the author receive gifts on both Hanukkah and Diwali?A.Because she lives in a rich family.B.Because she lives in two
17、 different countries.C.Because her parents like celebrating their different cultures.D.Because her parents like spending money buying gifts for them.答案C解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“SheisreferringtothefactthatwearehalfJewishandhalfIndian,sowereceivegiftsonboththefestivalsoflights.”可知,作者的父母一个是犹太人,一个是印度人。她们会分别在这两个节
18、日里都得到礼物,是因为她们的父母喜欢庆祝各自不同的文化。故选C项。2.What does the underlined phrase “hot and cold” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.A kind of Hanukkah game.B.A kind of Hanukkah gift.C.A can of festival drink.D.A riddle written on lights.答案A解析词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Whenwewalktowardsthegift,ourparentssayhotandwhenwewalkfurtheraway,th
19、eysaycold.”可知,作者她们做“hotandcold”是为了寻找礼物。当她们离所要找的礼物近的时候,父母就说“hot”,当她们离所要找的礼物远的时候,父母就说“cold”,因此可以推断出这是一种游戏。故选A项。3.We can learn from the text that Hanukkah and Diwali .A.share the same history and cultureB.are celebrated by both Jews and IndiansC.are both related to the legend of lightsD.encourage the f
20、amilies to do their prayers答案D解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“welightamenorahandsayaprayereachnight”可知,Hanukkah节鼓励祈祷;再根据第三段中的“TocelebrateDiwali,myfamilydoesapooja,orprayers,inhonourofthegoddessLakshmi.”可知,Diwali节也鼓励祈祷。故选D项。4.What is the authors attitude towards Hanukkah and Diwali?A.She enjoys celebrating both of t
21、hem.B.She does mind spending them.C.She likes Hanukkah better.D.She likes Diwali better.答案A解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Wecelebratethemindifferentways,yettheybothhavethesamemeaning.”可知,作者喜欢庆祝两个节日。故选A项。BEvery American family has its own traditions on Thanksgiving Day,and mine is no different.Once the national ho

25、me I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks,my mind usually goes blank.I think it has something to do with my growling (咕咕叫) stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.Eventually,though,we all finish our short prayers and dig in.To be sure,the day incl

27、ksgiving DayB.tell how the family spends Thanksgiving DayC.introduce foods served on Thanksgiving DayD.introduce the American Thanksgiving Day答案B解析主旨大意题。作者开门见山地点明美国每家每户都有自己的感恩节传统,然后详细描述他们一家人这一天的活动,因此B项“讲述这一家人如何过感恩节”能概括全文大意。6.What activities doesnt the authors family do on Thanksgiving Day?A.Watch a
28、movie.B.Make visits.C.Have a big meal.D.Watch football.答案A解析细节理解题。文章前四段描述作者一家人准备感恩节大餐,最后一段首句“Eventually,though,weallfinishourshortprayersanddigin.”说明一家人终于开吃了,首先排除C项;再由第二句“Tobesure,thedayincludesotherhighlightsvisitingwithfamilyandwatchingfootball.”可知,这一天作者一家人还会走访亲友以及观看足球赛等,故排除B、D两项;文章没有提及A项活动,所以选A项。
29、7.Why does the authors mind usually go blank when saying a prayer of thanks?A.He is too thankful to say a word.B.His mind is on the food before him.C.He feels too excited to speak.D.He is too shy to speak in public.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第四段信息“Ithinkithassomethingtodowithmygrowling(咕咕叫)stomachandallofthatfood
30、sittingrightthereundermynose.”可知,作者吃大餐之前祈祷以示感恩时,心思全被眼前的美食所吸引,所以B项正确。8.The underlined phrase “dig in” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “”.A.chat with othersB.make a holeC.mix things upD.start eating答案D解析词义猜测题。根据前文对一家人准备大餐以及作者心思全被眼前的美食所吸引的描述,再由本句中的Eventually“终于”一词,不难看出digin在此表示(一家人)“开吃”了,所以D项正确。- 5 - 版权所有高考资源网
