Ⅳ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在家庭聚会中设立字母表游戏,让家人分享回忆和故事,其中儿子Ryan讲述了家族根源与狂欢节的联系,引起了家人们的欢笑和回忆,让这个新年聚会变得难忘。文章强调了家族的重要性和传统文化的延续。
1.D 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I insisted on acting as the hostess and wanted to bring back the joy I’d felt at my childhood New Year that was filled with love.”以及第二段中“As family members arrived at the hall, I handed each one of them a numbered card and said, ‘Time for the alphabet (字母表) game.’”可推知,作者组织这个字母表游戏是为了感受久违的新年快乐。故选D。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第二段中“‘Something that begins with the letter A.’ My cousin smiled. ‘Apple pie!’ she said. Great-granddaughter Mindy was next. ‘B,’ she said. ‘I am impressed by Buckeye Country.’ ‘Cookies!’ Number 3 shouted.”可知,这个游戏的规则是,每个人抽写有字母的卡片,抽到哪个字母就要说出以这个字母开头的单词,由此可知,如果你得到的是第23个字母,你应该说以w字母开头的单词,所以watermelon符合游戏规则。故选C。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中“‘It’s one of the oldest traditions in Ohio,’ Ryan said. ‘Grandma and grandpa met there. That’s where they fell in love. That’s where this whole thing started. This whole family.’”可知,Ryan的故事会引起家人的笑声是因为这与他们的家族渊源有关。故选A。
4.A 主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是由最后一段可知,文章主要讲的是作者组织家人一起玩字母表游戏,来找回童年时充满爱的新年的快乐。故A选项(一个充满爱的字母)概括文章大意。故选A。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了有关世界水日的一些信息,包括设定的原因,意义等。
1.F 上文“On 22 March, World Water Day draws attention to the essential role of water in our lives.”说明世界水日提醒人们关注珍贵的水资源,即设立世界水日的意义。根据下文“We all need water to stay alive, but about two billion people around the world live without clean water in their homes.”可知,F项(它还关注许多人获得清洁水源的困难)符合语境,说明了世界水日的另一个作用,与上文是并列关系。故选F。
2.D 上文“We all need water to stay alive, but about two billion people around the world live without clean water in their homes.”用数字说明了世界上有大量的人不能获得干净的水,D项(这大约是世界人口的四分之一)承接上文,进一步解释上文提到的数字,说明不能获得干净的水的人有很多。故选D。
3.C 下文“Thousands of children worldwide die every day from diarrhoea caused by dirty water. In some countries, people walk many kilometres every day to get water, and sometimes the water isn’t clean.”说明全世界很多儿童死于饮用脏水,人们取水困难,水有时候还不干净,C项(人们可能会因饮用脏水而生病)符合语境,dirty water呼应下文的dirty water。故选C。
4.G 上文“On this day, many countries hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water.”说明在这一天,许多国家会举办活动,向人们科普有关脏水的知识,G项(他们试图找到解决方案,为世界上每个人提供清洁水源)也是国家采取的行动,符合语境,故选G。
5.E 下文“…where people walk four, eight or 12 kilometres each day in March to see how it feels when they have to walk a long way to get their drinking water.”是where引导的定语从句。上文“Some charities organise fundraising events for World Water Day. People do things like sponsored walks, cycles and swims.”说明了一些组织组织活动筹集资金,由此可推断,E项“其他团体组织活动,例如为水而行”符合语境,承接上文,下文具体说明了在这些活动中,人们在三月里步行很远去取水,体会取水的辛苦。故选E。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了2023—2024年呼和浩特冰雪节的开幕情况。
1.kicked 考查动词时态和语态。kick off(开始)是句中谓语动词,与主语the 2023—2024 Hohhot (呼和浩特) Ice and Snow Festival之间是主动关系,根据时间状语on Dec. 22可知,讲述过去的事情应使用一般过去时。故填kicked。
2.a 考查冠词。 a series of 意为“一系列”,为固定搭配,故填a。
3.including 考查非谓语动词。下文“…ice and snow architecture, ice and snow sports, artistic…”是对80 activities内容的列举,用including作后置定语,意为“包括……在内的”。故填including。
4.Located 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,“…(locate) in the ‘golden latitude belt’ of ice and snow…”作地点状语,可用located作状语,其意为“位于,坐落在”,句首单词首字母大写。故填Located。
5.for 考查介词。boast a condition for…表示“有值得自豪的有关……的先决条件”,用介词for。故填for。
6.months 考查名词复数。空前有基数词four,用复数形式months。故填months。
7.has boosted 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子可知,boost(促进)是句中谓语动词,与主语Hohhot之间是主动关系,句中有时间状语in recent years,应使用现在完成时,又因主语是专有名词,所以谓语动词应使用单数形式。综上,谓语应用现在完成时的主动语态,单数形式。故填has boosted。
8.diverse 考查形容词。提示词作定语,用形容词diverse,意为“多样的”。故填diverse。
9.and 考查连词。空格前后是两个分句,是顺承关系,用连词and连接。故填and。
10.to experience 考查非谓语动词。“…(experience) its unique ice and snow culture.”是come to Hohhot的目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填to experience。Unit 3 CELEBRATIONS

As a child I was one of the 125 people at our family get-together for New Year. These days we were a much smaller group in Belle Valley, Ohio. I insisted on acting as the hostess and wanted to bring back the joy I’d felt at my childhood New Year that was filled with love.
