33、s, such as making juice, baking, steaming or boiling.【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国农历二十四节气之一的惊蛰，它标志着春耕的开始，是农民最忙的时候之一。惊蛰的另一个传统是吃梨，作者对各种各样的梨的制作方法也进行了介绍。1which考查定语从句。句意：惊蛰是中国农历二十四节气之一，二十四节气在古代中国被用来记录农业周期。此处为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“24 solar terms”，且先行词在从句中作主语，指物，应用关系代词which，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。2to keep考查非谓语动词。句意同上
34、题。分析句子结构，可知，keep在句中应用非谓语动词形式。短语be used to do sth.表示“被用来做某事”，后跟不定式。故填to keep。3with考查介词。句意：三月初出现了一些不寻常的天气，气温上升，暴雨伴随雷暴而来。结合句意表示“伴随发生”的短语为come with。故填with。4appearance考查名词。句意：它们将从地球上升起，许多其他动物也将在今年首次亮相。上文their为形容词性物主代词，修饰名词，该空作句子的宾语，应填appear的名词形式appearance。故填appearance。5the考查冠词。句意：中国农民非常重视惊蛰，因为它标志着春耕的开始，是
