[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文.文章主要讲述
了作为单亲妈妈的作者失去工作后失去了经济来
源,昔日的老师借送圣诞贺卡的机会给予作者经
济上的帮助.
1.B [细 节 理 解 题.根 据 第 一 段 中 “Ilostmy
job.Ihadntseenitcoming.”可知,作者是意料
之外地被辞退的.]
2.B [推理判断题.根据第三段中“Ihadntseen
hersince wed metforlunchthree months
ago.”和 第 五 段 “EvenafterIgraduated,Mrs
Heffernankeptintouch.Ihadgrowntolove
herlikefamily.”以及最后两段可知,作者在毕
业后和赫弗南太太一直保持联系且关系亲如家
人,赫弗南太太知其有难,主动帮助.由此可推
知,赫弗南太太在作者毕业后的生活中扮演的
角色是一个可敬的朋友.]
3.C [细 节 理 解 题.根 据 最 后 一 段 “WhenI
openedhercardIwasinshock.Hundreddolar
bilsfelontothetable...MrsHeffernanhad
givenme$1,000.”可知,赫弗南太太拜访作者
的真正目的是给她一些经济上的帮助.]
4.D [推理判断题.分析全文内容可知,赫弗南
太太主动借送圣诞贺卡的机会给予作者经济上
的帮助,且出手大方,所以可以用“善良”和“慷
慨”这两个词来形容赫弗南太太.]

[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文.世界各地举行节
日和庆祝活动的原因各不相同,文章主要介绍了
一些世界各地不同的节日和庆祝活动情况.
1.E [根 据 后 文 “Inancienttimes,mostfestivals
wouldcelebratetheendofcoldweather,planting
inspringandharvestinginautumn.Todays
festivalshave manyorigins,somereligious,
someseasonal,andsomeforspecialpeopleor
events.(在古代,大多数节日都会庆祝寒冷的结
束,春天播种,秋天收获.今天的节日有很多起
源,一些是宗教的,一些是季节性的,还有一些
是为特殊的人或事件.)”可知,后文提到了节日
庆祝以及起源的不同之处,E 选项中 Festivals
对应后文中festivals.故E选项“世界各地举行
节日和庆祝活动的原因各不相同.”符合语境.]
2.B [根据上文“Somefestivalsareheldtohonor
thedeadortosatisfytheancestors,whomight
returneithertohelportodoharm.Forthe
JapanesefestivalObon,forexample,people
shouldgotocleangraves,lightincenseand
lamps,andplaymusic.(有些节日是为了纪念
死者或满足祖先,因为他们可能回来帮助或伤
害他人.比如日本的盂兰盆节,人们要去扫墓,
点香点灯,放音乐.)”可知,本段介绍的是纪念
死者或祖先的节日,上文提到了节日的活动,本
句为本段最后一句,应总结上文,说明这些活动
的意义或目的,B选项中they指代上文的peoG
ple.故B选项“因为他们认为这将引导祖先回
到人间”符合语境.]
3.A [根 据 后 文 “TheDragonBoatFestivalin
Chinahonoursthefamousancientpoet,Qu
YuanwhileintheUSA,ColumbusDayisin
memoryofthearrivalofChristopherColumbus
intheNew World.(中国的端午节是为了纪念
古代著名诗人屈原,而在美国,哥伦布日是为了
纪念哥伦布到达新大陆.)”可知,本段主要列举
了一些纪念名人的节日,故 A 选项“举行节日也
可以用来纪念名人.”符合语境.]
4.G [根据上文“HarvestandThanksgivingfesG
tivalscan beveryhappyevents.Peopleare
gratefulbecausetheirfoodisgatheredforthe
winterandtheagriculturalworkisover.(丰收
节和感恩节是非常快乐的事情.人们很感激,
因为冬天的食物已经收集好了,农业工作也结
束了.)”可知,本段主要介绍的是丰收节和感恩
节的意义,此处承接上文,说明这些节日里人们

的一些节日活动.故 G选项“在欧洲,人们经常
装饰 教 堂 和 市 政 厅,并 聚 在 一 起 吃 饭.”符 合
语境.]

重要的节日是那些期待冬去春来的节日.在中
国有舞龙和晚会,家庭一起庆祝农历新年.一
些西方国家有非常激动人心的狂欢节,如复活
节.)”可知,上文提到了西方国家的复活节,可
推测本句承接上文继续说明复活节的作用,F
选项中It指代上文 Easter.故 F选项“它庆祝
耶稣从死里复活以及春天和新生命的到来.”符
合语境.]

4月27日的国王节.

立在贸易之上的城市,阿姆斯特丹喜欢讨价还
价,”CNN 解释道.此句已有谓语动词loves,根
据acity与build之间是被动关系,可知此处要
用过去分词.故填built.]

都有机会在大街上和公园里出售他们的二手物
品,创造了世界上最大的跳蚤市场之一.”根据
