(2021湖南高三9月百校联考)

Songkran

Duration:From April 12 to 15, 2020 in Phuket (The dates vary depending on the regions).

Location:Songkran is the Thai New Year. The entire country gets a lot of days off, and most Thai people will go back home to celebrate Songkran with their families. Just expect a lot of traffic jams on the road as everyone is out on pick-up trucks, throwing water at each other.

Details:Starting early in the morning on April 13th, the water ceremony will take many forms. Initially, you are only supposed to splash your family with a tiny cup of water at home. It's good luck. Then you splash a statue of the Buddha very respectfully and do a little pray.

Later in the morning, the game starts to change. Because this is the hottest time of the year, sprinkling each other with water is a lot of fun. Add a little beer to that and Songkran turns into a country-wide water war.

It starts rather gently in Phuket Town around 10 am, turning to water dogfights (混战)in the afternoon in Patong, Kata and Karon, and ends with a full-scale wet war zone in Bangla Road until late at night.

Survival Tips:

★Don't ride a bike if you can avoid it. It's slippery and the tendency to close eyes when water is thrown at you is dangerous.

★Get a waterproof camera.

★Be aware of major traffic jams in towns, mostly in Patong Beach.

★Don't carry anything that doesn't resist water.

★Don't wear expensive clothing.

★Be aware of the sun!

★Have fun!Don't take it too seriously;it's good.

4.Why do traffic jams happen during Songkran?

A.The road is slippery.

B.The entire country gets a lot of days off.

C.The people are throwing water at each other.

D.Everyone is sprinkling his family on the road.

5.What's the first step to celebrating Songkran?

A.Doing a little pray.

B.Splashing a statue of the Buddha.

C.Splashing family with a little water.

D.Splashing each other with much beer.

6.Which of the following is recommended during Songkran?

A.Carrying an umbrella.

B.Wearing cheap clothes.

C.Bringing some cash.

D.Riding a bicycle.

答案　

[语篇解读]　文章主要介绍了泰国的宋干节。

4.C　细节理解题。根据Location部分的介绍可知,在节日期间,每个人都在外面的皮卡车上相互泼水,所以道路交通堵塞严重。

5.C　细节理解题。根据Details部分第二句可知,首先,你应该向你的家人洒一小杯水。

6.B　细节理解题。根据Survival Tips部分第五条可知,不要穿贵的衣服。故选B项。

6.　　　　7.　　　　8.　　　　9.　　　　10.　　　 

答案　

[语篇解读]　本文为说明文,主题语境为人与社会。文章介绍了北斗卫星导航系统在农业中的广泛应用。

1.farmers　考查名词的数。句意:它帮助农民更精准地使用肥料和杀虫剂。farmer是可数名词,此处用复数表泛指。故填farmers。

2.precisely　考查副词。修饰动词apply用副词。故填precisely。

3.assisted　考查非谓语动词。An intelligent fertilizer-pesticide distributor和 assist之间是逻辑上的被动关系,表示被动,因此用过去分词作状语。故填assisted。

4.distribution　考查名词。句意:通过远程网络技术服务平台,机器可以实现高精度施肥。所填词在句中作provide的宾语,应用名词形式,表抽象意义,不可数。故填distribution。

5.the　考查冠词。句意:当机器的运动偏离目标路径,该系统可以实时纠正偏差。此处特指上文提到的BeiDou Navigation Satellite System,用定冠词the表示特指。故填the。

6.who　考查定语从句。村里的农民韩宝龙说,自动喷洒器帮了他很大忙,因为1月份暴发的新冠肺炎疫情导致工人严重短缺,工人都是按传统用手工施肥和喷洒农药。分析句子结构可知,“　6　 traditionally applied fertilizers and pesticides by hand”是定语从句,关系词指代先行词workers(指人),在从句中作主语,应用who引导非限制性定语从句。故填who。 

7.smarter　考查形容词比较级。句意:北斗卫星导航系统也使农业生产更加智能化、更精准。and连接两个并列的结构;more precise是比较级,smart也应用比较级形式。故填smarter。

8.on　考查介词。句意:基于北斗卫星导航系统的自动驾驶拖拉机和无人驾驶农用车已经在新疆维吾尔自治区西北部、黑龙江省东北部和江苏省东部的一个自动化农场进行了精准农业探索。此处是短语be based on,意思为“在……的基础上”。故填on。

9.had served　考查时态。句意:截至2019年4月,北斗卫星导航系统已服务超过5万台农业机械,节省了10%的燃料。根据时间状语By April, 2019可知,谓语动词应用过去完成时。故填had served。

10.saving　考查非谓语动词。句意:截至2019年4月,北斗卫星导航系统已服务超过5万台农业机械,节省了10%的燃料。根据句意,“使用北斗卫星导航系统”的结果是“节省了10%的燃料”,此处用现在分词作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果。故填saving。
