48、arty,后边用到代词it,由此可知,空格处应该也是说的乔迁派对的好处。故选E“它也给了人们一个参观新家的机会”。2.【解析】选B。段落大意题。根据空格后的内容,人们会在当地的商店登记他们添置新家需要的物品清单。人们会把一些常见的东西写在gift registry上,比如厨具之类的。即使没有登记,一件装饰新家的东西也是一份好的乔迁之礼。整段都是在说乔迁礼物,因此B项“带礼物去参加乔迁派对是一件很传统的事情。”符合段落主旨。3.【解析】选C。细节理解题。空格后讲的是:这一点是值得赞赏的,因为在乔迁派对上不会提供很多食物。其中“this”就指代前面提到的东西,而空格后的内容是与乔迁派对上的食物有关
49、的,因此可以定位选项C“你也可以带一些食物或者饮品与其他宾客分享”。4.【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据前面“Sometimes”可知,这种情况是少见的。偶然情况下,人们迁新居不久,就会举办乔迁派对,所以新居主人可能会请参加派对的人帮忙拆行李箱。因此选项A 符合语境。5.【解析】选G。空格处为过渡句,空格前说乔迁派对的名字由来,是很久之前,人们会把柴火作为礼物送给移居新家的人。空格后说现在大多数家庭都用中央供暖系统,不用生火取暖了。由后边内容可知,之前送柴火是为了家中取暖,而选项G“这也是为了人们在冬天能保持家里暖和”符合语境。【难句剖析】Even if there isnt a registr
50、y,a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with,like a piece of art or a plant.分析:Even if引导让步状语从句,后面something为不定代词,用不定式to decorate the new house with来修饰,而a good housewarming gift 是decorate的工具,用来装饰,所以介词with 不可以省略。翻译:即使没有登记,一份好的乔迁礼物也可以是用来装饰新房的东西,比如一件艺术品或者一株植物。【微技能点拨】找准关键句,巧解七选五做
51、这类题目,首先由空格位置判断出考查的是哪种类型,然后根据类型特点,结合上下文找关键词句,最后甄别关键词句与哪个选项对应,一旦意思匹配,该选项即是答案。本篇阅读的第2题根据空格所处的位置,我们可以判断考查的是段落主题句,也就是段落大意,这类题型多根据空格后的内容进行判断,找到关键句“Even if there isnt a registry,a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with,like a piece of art or a plant”,再结合上下文,就可以看到B项与之匹配,由此得出“带礼物去
