If the hanger hangs a May basket on someone’s door and the receiver catches him or her, it’s a great shame.”可知,挂花篮者在门上挂好花篮之后,要赶紧跑开。take flight在此处意为“跑开,逃走”。故选C。 3.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中Louisa May Alcott描述的情景“Such a twanging (砰然一声) of doorbells; such a hurry to move with quick steps in the dark; such funny crashes as boys came racing round corners, or girls ran into one another’s arms as they climbed up and down steps secretly; such laughing, whistling, flying about of flowers and the friendly feeling.”可知,人们庆祝五月花篮节的场景是非常有趣、惊险刺激的。故选B。 4.A 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Perhaps the practice may help bring this old tradition back to life. Why not show someone you are thinking of them this May Basket Day ”可知,作者希望五月花篮节能够再次流行起来。故选A。 Ⅴ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了二十四节气中的“雨水”。 1.traditional 考查形容词。空处修饰Chinese solar calendar用形容词。故填traditional。 2.determined 考查非谓语动词。此处为非谓语,动词determine“决定”与其逻辑主语the 24 solar terms之间是被动关系,应用其过去分词作后置定语。故填determined。 3.were created 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。动词create和主语之间是被动关系,根据时间状语thousands of years ago可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数,主谓一致,故填were created。 4.on 考查介词。表示“在具体某日”,应用介词on。故填on。 5.signals 考查动词时态和主谓一致。此处描述客观事实,用一般现在时。主语是单数,主谓一致,故填signals。 6.arrival 考查名词。形容词性物主代词its后应用名词arrival,故填arrival。 7.commonly 考查副词。修饰动词regarded用副词。故填commonly。 8.an 考查冠词。此处泛指“一句中国古语”,应用不定冠词,old发音以元音音素开头,故填an。 9.which 考查定语从句。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为the rainfall of this season,指代事物,关系词在从句中作主语,用关系代词which引导。故填which。 10.warmer 考查形容词比较级。根据句意和前文系动词gets可知,此处应用形容词比较级warmer作表语,表示“更温暖的”。故填warmer。 Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了麦考尔在田纳西州克利夫兰镇的旅馆过夜时,她的猫塔克失踪的故事。麦考尔在经历了一系列个人不幸后,经济拮据且身体 ... ...
