答案
1-20 BDABD CCABA DCBAD ABACD解析
本文介绍的是中国的过春节的风俗习惯,内容熟悉但要结合实际。1. B 前文已经说过是庆祝中国文化,把中国文化(culture)带回家,而不是传统(tradition),文明(civilization),习惯(habit)。
2. D 在中国红色在节日的时候是幸运(luck)色,远非财富(wealth),灾难(disaster),和信仰(belief)。
3. A 过春节的时候为给新年带来好运,集中精力(focus on)做事很重要,绝不是指控(accuse),适应(adapt),和在意(mind)。
4. B 如果不把门漆(paint)成红色,而不是煮(boil),洗(wash),更不是购买(purchase)。
5. D 中国的春节没用不同(different),也是吃是一大部分,前面有no,所以不可能是相同(same),相似(similar),共同(common)。
6. C 长寿面带来(bring about)长寿,而不是发生(come about),出去(get out),take和about通常不搭配。
7. C 庆祝新年就意味着你的孩子可以享受(enjoy)到许多好吃的,厌恶(bore),毁坏(destroy),吸收(absorb),显得不合乎情理。
8. A 常识是:元宵节是春节的最后(last)一天,而不是最初(first),第二(second),下一(next)天。
9. B 根据常识,这是关于元宵节来历的故事(story),绝不是戏剧(play),小说(novel),和历史(history)。
10. A 当然是和孩子们分享(sharing)这个故事了,不会是听(listening),读(reading),编造(making),read应和to/for搭配才表示把……读给……来听。
11. D 另一项传统(tradition)是发压岁钱。这是传统,不是发明(invention),故事(story),和比赛(race)。
12. C 是压岁钱(money)而不是食品(food),衣服(clothes)和珠宝(jewels),再说是在信封里。
13. B 给的压岁钱的数量应是吉祥数而不是不吉祥(unlucky)的数,不可能是不清晰(unclear),不公平(unfair),和不确定(uncertain)。
14. A 红包上装饰有吉祥图案和新年祝福(wishes),而非标志(signs),礼物(presents)和幸福(happiness)。
15. D 给小礼物也是庆祝(celebrate)新年的一种方式,渡过(spend),嫉妒(envy)和购买(buy)显得不伦不类。
16. A 中国新年的另一种庆祝方式是放鞭炮(firecrackers),不是歌曲(songs),舞蹈(dances)和货物(goods)。
17. B 放鞭炮开始的时候是为了吓跑(scare)鬼怪,绝非带走(take),逃离(get)和烧(burn)。
18. A 现如今,放鞭炮是为了娱乐(fun),根本不是为了放松(relax),休息(sleep)和旅行(travel)。
19. C 习俗是新年的第二天被认为(be considered n.)是狗的生日,固定(fixed),命名(named)和标注(marked),不符合习俗。
20.D 为什么不允许(allow)你的孩子扔给狗一份生日礼物呢,而不是命令(order),陪伴(accompany),和取笑(tease)。
考点
据考高分专家说,试题“The Chinese New Year.....”主要考查你对 [政治经济类阅读 ]考点的理解。政治经济类阅读
政治经济类文章的概念:
要做好这类阅读,平时就要注意了解国内外发生的政治经济大事,掌握一定背景知识,对这类文章的叙述特点及内容安排有一定了解,还要扩展这方面的词汇。阅读这类文章,要抓住文章的核心,即文章整体和各段主要在说什么,也要注意段落之间的逻辑关系。
如何备考政治经济类阅读理解题:
【题型说明】政治经济类阅读文章是高考常选材料之一。该类文章时代气息浓郁,语言鲜活,但熟字新义词、超纲词及专业词语多,长句、难句多。政治类文章大多数是同学们感性趣的内容,读起来倒有似曾相识的感觉,经济类文章读起来就像是雾里看花,文章看完,一头雾水。再加之这类文章的命题侧重于词义猜测、推理判断和文章主旨,同学们对这类题材是望而生畏。
【备考策略】建立心理优势。针对不同体裁的文章,我们要采取相应的阅读方法和技巧。政治类文章多采用记叙文形式,我们可采取“顺读法”,以便抓关键语句,领会文章主旨;而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式,我们则可以采取“逆读法”,先读试题,再从文章中查找有用信息。若遇到的确难读的材料。千万不用着急,因为你觉得难,其他人也一定是同感。在高考前,我们就要有这种心理准备,高考试卷肯定有一、两篇难以阅读的材料。不过,我们平时可以有意识地从报刊杂志上找一些较难的阅读材料来阅读,以培养自己迎难而上的心理素质。
【答题方法】
1、寻找主干:
根据英语中五种基本句型结构,把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来,其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解。找到了句子主干,句子的意思至少明白了一半。
2、剔除从句:
在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句,在理解时,如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解,然后把大意拼凑起来,整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分。
3、辨别分句:
一个长句如果是由几个并列、转折、递进、对比关系的分句组成,句中往往有表示这些分句关系的连接词,只要能弄清楚分句和分句之间的逻辑关系,再把各层分句的意思加以连贯,整个长句的句意基本上能跃然脑中。
4、寻找关键词:
如果一个句子看完,一点句意的感觉也没有,下下策就是抓住句中的关键词,通过关键词大体弄懂这个长句的意思。
