【语篇解读】 本文主要叙述了丹麦、墨西哥、菲律宾、厄瓜多尔这四个国家庆祝新年的方式。
但不论以哪种方式庆祝新年,人们都是期盼一个更美好、更幸福的来年。
1.PeoplegenerallycelebrateNewYear'
sDayinthefollowingwaysexcept________.
A.sharingthetimewiththeirfamily
B.gettingtogetherwiththeirfriends
C.participatingintheballdrop
D.spendingthetimewiththeirlovers
【解析】 细节理解题。
根据首段“youprobablycelebrateNewYear'
sDaytogetherwithyourfamilyandfriends,enjoyingdrinksandwatchingtheballdrop.”可知,你可能会和家人、朋友喝饮料并观看ballwatch一起庆祝新年,而不是参与(participatein)theballdrop,故选C项。
根据“Ifyou'
00am”可知,与爱人一起度过时间也是庆祝新年的方式之一。
【答案】 C
2.Whichofthefollowingcan'
tdescribethe4uniqueNewYeartraditionsproperly?
A.Themorebrokenplates,glasses,cupsyouhaveatyourdoor,themoregoodfriendsyouhaveaccordingtoDanishNewYeartradition.
B.Bypaying$15inTaosInn,Mexicanscancommunicatewiththesoulsoftheirdeadlovedones.
C.WearingpolkadotscanhelppeopleinPhilippinestogainwealth.
D.PeoplefromEcuadormakeandburnscarecrowstowingoodluckandhappiness.
由第三段“TaosInn,inNewMexicoforexample,offers15minutessessionofspiritualismanddeepthoughtfor$15.”可知,在Taos旅店人们并不是真的可以与已故的至爱之人的亡灵交流,故B项叙述不恰当。
由第二段“Thefamilywiththetallesttowerofbrokenplates,glasses,cupsandothercrockeryisconsideredtobetheluckiestpersonbecauseitsymbolizestheirlargecrowdofloyalfriends.”可知,在丹麦,谁家门口摔碎的盘子、杯子等越多,谁的朋友就越多,故A项叙述准确。
由第四段内容可知,菲律宾人认为穿着圆点图案的衣服会给他们带来财富,故C项符合原文意思。
根据第五段内容可知,在厄瓜多尔,人们会制作并焚烧稻草人以求带来好运和幸福,故D项内容与原文意思吻合。
【答案】 B
