Yours, Shen 【答案】66. called 67. killed 68. to save 69. threw 70. making 71. regard 72. watched 73. to reach 74. would 75. like 【解析】 【导语】本文主要向作者的外国朋友Cindy介绍了有关中国传统节日端午节的情况，包括端午节的由来，是为了纪念伟大的爱国诗人屈原，其一些风俗像赛龙舟，吃粽子等都与屈原有着密切的关系。作者期待着他的朋友明年能来中国和他一起过端午节。 【66题详解】 句意：那天是中国的传统节日端午节。根据文中“lt was a traditional Chinese Festival…Dragon Boat Festival that day”中前句是指它是个传统节日，后句是端午节。结合备选词可知，应该是这个传统节日被叫做端午节，所以应用动词call，此处用在Festival后面应该用其过去分词形式作后置定语，表被动。故填called。 【67题详解】 句意：公元前278年农历五月五日，他跳进汨罗江自杀。根据文中“He…himself by jumping into the Miluo River on May5th of the lunar calendar, 278 BC. ”及备选词可知，空处指的是屈原自杀，句子时态为一般过去时。故填killed。 【68题详解】 句意：那里的人们划船去救他。根据文中“People there rowed the boats…him.”及备选词可知，空处指的是去救屈原，不定式to do在句子中做目的状语。故填to save。 【69题详解】 句意：他们非常难过，然后把粽子扔进河里喂鱼，这样它们就可以远离他的身体。根据文中“They were very sad and then…rice dumplings into the river to feed the fish so that they would stay away from his body.”及备选词可知，人们把粽子扔进河中，句子时态为一般过去时。故填threw。 【70题详解】 句意：从那以后，每年的这一天，人们都喜欢包粽子，粽子是用米饭和肉、鸡蛋等做成的。根据文中“people enjoy…Zongzi which is made of rice with meat, eggs and so on”及备选词可知，空处应该用动名词形式构成固定短语enjoy doing sth.“喜欢做某事”。结合语境这里是指用米和肉或鸡蛋等包粽子，所以应该用动词make，动名词为making。故填making。 【71题详解】 句意：过去，我们一年只吃一次，但现在我们把它当作日常食物。根据文中“but now we…it as our daily food. ”及上文和备选词可知，固定短语regard…as…“把……视为……”，句子为一般现在时，主语是we，谓语动词应为动词原形。故填regard。 【72题详解】 句意：你在电视上看过龙舟比赛吗？根据文中“Have you ever…the dragon boat race on TV?”及备选词可知，此句为现在完成时，空处应该填入谓语动词；结合关键词“on TV”可知，应是在电视上看龙舟比赛，所以应用动词watch，现在完成时的构成：have/has+动词的过去分词，所以此处应用watch的过去分词为watched。故填watched。 【73题详解】 句意：第一个到达终点线的队伍获胜。根据文中“The first team…the finish line wins.”及备选词可知，空处指的是到达，此处应用动词不定式to do作目的状语。故填to reach。 【74题详解】 句意：如果你计划明年访问中国，你愿意和我们一起度过这个节日吗？根据文中“…you…to spend this festival with us?”及备选词可知，固定句型would you like to do sth.“你愿意做……吗”。故填would。 【75题详解】 句意：如果你计划明年访问中国，你愿意和我们一起度过这个节日吗？根据文中“…you…to spend this festival with us?”及备选词可知，固定句型would you like to do sth.“你愿意做……吗”。故填like。 （二）语法填空（共10分。） 阅读下面短文，用所给词的适当形式填空，使短文意思完整。 Small talk is a good way ___76___ (kill) time and make friends.
