[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了美国旧金山庆祝中国新年的方式。
1.cultures [设空处前有other修饰,指不止一种文化,culture应用复数形式。故填cultures。]
2.what [句意为:旧金山的中国新年庆祝活动就是一个很好的例子,该庆祝活动和我们在上海的庆祝活动类似。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导宾语从句,从句中缺少do的宾语,表示“……的事物”,故填what。]
3.is watched [句意为:旧金山的中国新年庆祝活动中最著名的环节便是游行,每年有超过三百万人观看。设空处为从句的谓语,which指代the parade,在从句中作主语,和watch之间是被动关系;根据时间状语every year可知,设空处的时态要用一般现在时。故填is watched。]
4.marching [句意为:一百多个参赛作品参加游行,穿过市中心和唐人街。句子谓语take part in与动词march之间无连词连接,设空处应用非谓语形式;句子主语entries与动词march之间是逻辑上的主动关系,应用现在分词作状语。故填marching。]
5.with [句意为:在游行的过程中,人群的欢呼声与音乐交织在一起,同时当地社区的人群也会挥舞横幅和旗子并手提灯笼。mix...with...意为“将……与……混合”,为固定搭配,此处为其被动形式。故填with。]
6.a [句意为:中式主题的彩车会经过,其中包括一辆很长的金龙彩车,它需要100个人来共同操纵。此处泛指“一辆很长的金龙彩车”,应用不定冠词修饰。且long的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。]
7.takes [句意见上一题解析。设空处为定语从句中的谓语,that指代的________ long Golden Dragon float为单数概念,在从句中作主语,从句的谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填takes。]
8.their [句意为:对于许多美籍华人来说,庆祝他们祖先的节日与庆祝美国节日一样重要,他们二者都庆祝。ancestral festivals为名词短语,应用形容词性物主代词their修饰,表示“他们祖先的节日”,故填their。]
9.important [句意见上一题解析。as...as...结构中应用形容词或副词的原级,且此处作is的表语,所以应用形容词。故填important。]
10.to visit [句意为:如果你有机会去美国游览,你可能有机会亲眼看到一些庆祝活动。the chance to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“做某事的机会”。故填to visit。]

When their daughter Morey started kindergarten, the Belanger family were worried because their 6yearold daughter is deaf. Rather than send her to a special school for deaf children, Morey's parents decided to give her a traditional school experience and send her to Dayton Consolidated School.
They worried if their daughter would be able to make friends. They also had concerns as how her classmates would treat her and whether her teachers would be able to help her learn effectively. But then the school had a response they never expected-teaching all students and staff sign language. That way, everyone could communicate with Morey on a personal level.
“I absolutely feel like it makes her feel welcomed,” said Morey's mom. “I think all the kids feel excited that they know another language and it's fun. It makes me happy to see her supported, loved and accepted. Morey is excited to go to school every day. She's made really good friends.”
Not only did they learn sign language, but they also put up sign language posters in the hall and equipped a special hearing system. Additionally, they provided extra training so that teachers could become more familiar with the language. “Morey, without even knowing it, has taught us so much,” says headmaster Kimberly Sampietro. “She's brought a culture to our building that we didn't have before. Morey helps the whole class to learn the alphabet. The kids look up to her. They want her around, and they want to partner with her.”
Morey's hearing loss is a result of a condition that's so rare that it's never been named. However, thanks to the hard work and goodwill of her classmates and teachers, she can communicate with them on her terms.
[语篇解读] 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了六岁失聪的女孩Morey被父母送到一所传统学校上学,为了让每个人都能和Morey进行个人层面的交流,学校向所有学生和教职员工教授手语。文章还介绍了Morey的妈妈和校长对这一做法的看法。
5.What concerned the Belangers when Morey started kindergarten?
A.That they would have to separate from her.
B.That they could hardly afford her education.
C.Whether she could lead a normal school life.
D.Whether she could receive special training.
解析:C [细节理解题。根据第二段中“They worried if their daughter would be able to make friends. They also had concerns as how her classmates would treat her and whether her teachers would be able to help her learn effectively.”可知,Morey开始上幼儿园时,Belanger夫妇担心她是否能过正常的学校生活。故选C。]
6.Why did Dayton Consolidated School teach all their students and staff sign language?
A.To equip them with one more practical skill.
B.To develop closer studentteacher relationships.
C.Out of concern for their teaching effectiveness.
D.Out of concern for a student with special needs.
解析:D [细节理解题。根据第二段中“But then the school had a response they never expected-teaching all students and staff sign language. That way, everyone could communicate with Morey on a personal level.”可知,出于对有特殊需要的学生的关心,所以Dayton联合学校才要教所有的学生和员工手语。故选D。]
7.What does Morey's mom think of the kindergarten's response?
A.Inspiring and considerate.
B.Dull but worthwhile.
C.Useful but complex.
D.Shocking and contradictory.
解析:A [推理判断题。根据第三段“‘I absolutely feel like it makes her feel welcomed,’ said Morey's mom. ‘I think all the kids feel excited that they know another language and it's fun. It makes me happy to see her supported, loved and accepted. Morey is excited to go to school every day. She's made really good friends.’”可推知,Morey的妈妈认为幼儿园的反应是鼓舞人心和善解人意的。故选A。]
8.What do Kimberly Sampietro's words in Paragraph 4 imply?
A.Morey is good at teaching others.
B.Morey isn't the only one who benefits.
C.Morey has become a symbol of the kindergarten.
D.Morey hasn't brought any changes to the kindergarten.
解析:B [推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘Morey, without even knowing it, has taught us so much,’ says headmaster Kimberly Sampietro. ‘She's brought a culture to our building that we didn't have before. Morey helps the whole class to learn the alphabet. The kids look up to her. They want her around, and they want to partner with her.’”可知,Morey在不知不觉中教会了他们很多东西。她给他们的大楼带来了一种以前没有的文化。Morey帮助全班学习字母表。孩子们很尊敬她。他们想要她在身边,想要和她合作。由此可推知,Kimberly Sampietro在第四段的话意思是Morey不是唯一一个受益的人。故选B。]
