英语参考答案及详解

My Favourite Traditional Chinese Festival

I feel it a privilege to talk about the Spring Festival, the most important festival for Chinese people.

Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts from the early days of the 12th lunar month and lasts till the mid-1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, Chinese people attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve, when all family members eat dinner together and enjoy the Spring Festival Gala. As for me, I love the Spring Festival most because it symbolizes unity, prosperity and new hopes for the future. Plus, not only can I set off fireworks during the festival, but I can also get lucky money as a New Year’s gift!

To conclude, the Spring Festival bears unique significance for every Chinese. Hope the excitement of the celebration will reach more people across the world.

My Favourite Traditional Chinese Festival

It is a great honor for me to give a speech on my favorite traditional Chinese Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival.

It falls on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, in memory of Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet of ancient China. As a memorial, people usually eat zongzi, a pyramid-shaped dumpling made of sticky rice and wrapped in reed leaves. There is also a nationwide practice of having or watching dragon boat racing, where competing teams drive their dragon boats forward to the drum beats. Actually it is the sporting spirit and the atmosphere of excitement displayed in dragon boat racing that makes this festival stand out as my favorite.

As a traditional celebration in China, the festival is in the UNESCO ICH list now. I believe more people will explore the legends and customs of the Dragon Boat Festival in the future.

67. One possible version

Paragraph l

I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. Bartlett. Before I opened my mouth, she gently placed a hand on my shoulder, saying with a knowing smile, “I know what you want, but your group needs you.” So stunned was I that I couldn’t utter a single world for a moment. She had seen something in me I hadn’t seen. Suddenly, a mixture of guilt as well as pride seized me. The power of being trusted made me stand straighter. “I’ll help them.” I replied in a firm voice. I couldn’t believe it came out of my mouth, but it did.

Paragraph 2

Halfway through the week, I felt myself enjoying the company of these three misfits. The project was going smoothly with our joint efforts. Besides, I found out Mauro was struggling with English, Juliette wore long skirts because of her religion and Rachel dreamed to be a fashion designer. They weren’t misfits, just people that no one cared enough about to try to understand — except Mrs. Bartlett. I was lucky to be given a chance to see other people in a new light. Mrs. Bartlett gave us an A on that assignment, which should be handed back, for she was the one who truly deserved it.

【前文大意】

一次世界历史课上，老师Mrs. Bartlett布置学生以小组为单位完成一个project,并让大家先自行挑选喜欢的组员。作为全面发展的尖子生的“我”选择了与优秀的同桌Missy 一组，并满以为老师会让自己如愿以偿。然而，第二天分组结果公布时，“我”却被分到了和班上三个最不受欢迎的同学一组，令人难以置信。于是“我”决定去说服老师我应该被分到“优生组”。

【续写要点】

由第一段首句“我忍着眼泪走向Mrs. Bartlett”可知，续写应围绕我跟老师见面后的语言、动作、神情等展开描写，包括倾诉“我”对分组结果的不解，如何说服老师把我分在“优生组”等，以及老师的回答、反应和举措等。为与下一段首句呼应，“我”一定是说服未遂，继续和这三个不合群的人在同一个组。

由第二段首句“这周过半的时候，我觉得自己很享受这三个不合群的人的陪伴”可知，续写应围绕“我”与组员们完成project的过程和结果，与此同时，“我”的心态发生了转变，理解了老师的良苦用心，明白了应该抛弃成见，学会接纳和包容的做人哲学。

26       .理解判断题。由第三段“But after I spoke to a Portuguese-Chinese man, I thought that this wasn‘t necessarily so. At the age of 90, he displayed a surprisingly strong sense of control over his life. His liveliness was exceptional among the elderly population in the home. ”可知，作者对晚年的态度变化源自那位对生活控制感极强、晚年依然活跃的老人，故C正确。

【主题语境】人与自我

【语篇解读】

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Otago大学针对截止日期和拖延症开展的一项研究调查及其发现。

【答案解析】

28      .理解判断题。由第二段可知Professor Stephen团队通过“测试了截止时间长度对任务完成的影响”，发现第三段所述的“不同长度的截止日期会让人产生不同的回应”，进而给出了第一段所述的建议“最好不设定最后期限或缩短期限”，由此可推断出，研究的目的是“考查最后期限对拖延的影响”，故B正确。

29       .理解判断题。根据第三段The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified 和…they received the most responses when no deadline was specified. 可知回复率最高和最多均出现在不设最后期限时，故A正确。

33      .D 词义猜测题。根据第三段第二句中划线词前后内容可知，“现代社会充满了对成功的疯狂追求，表现的压力已经渗透到教室和办公室，因此导致人们焦虑和抑郁的比例更高。”故D项“进入”与划线词意思最接近。

34       .B 细节理解题。根据最后一段第三、四句可知，作者认为合作可帮助一个人找到内部动机，而动机可以推动人去追求卓越，实现抱负。故B项符合作者观点。

七选五

【主题语境】人与自我

36       .空前提到儿童的下巴太小没有空间长智齿和空后提到因此而又有了更多空间，再结合本段第一句child development，可知空处应选择C项，随着儿童的成长，下巴也会长大。

37       .本段论述了古人与现代人饮食结构的不同对下巴和牙齿生长的影响。D项中的diet与原文构成原词复现。

38       . 本段主要介绍智齿出现晚的另一个原因。结合空后对此原因的解释可知，这个原因是直到后来（成年时，原来的磨齿脱落时）智齿才被需要。B项正确。

39       .空处应是对本段所介绍的原因进行再次重申，即智齿只在需要时才长出来，也就是作为备用一backup，F项正确。

40       .空前Or it can cause problems and tooth damage later on.表示智齿不拔会有后患，空后表示牙龈变弱后智齿会长出来，空处应将上下文衔接起来，对为什么会有后患进行解释，即虽然年轻时智齿没有冒出来，但是随着牙龈老化变弱，智齿还是会突出来，仍然会造成疼痛并需要拔掉。故G项正确。

(Text 4)

W: Oh, we’re running low on gas.

M: I’ll pull over at the next service station. Do you have any money? All I have is my credit card.

W: Come to think of it, I don’t have any on me.

M: I hope they accept credit cards. If not, I don’t know what we’re going to do.

M: This is turning out to be a great game! It’s pretty exciting, isn’t it?

W: Good! The game is back on and I don’t want to miss a thing.

M: If the rain doesn’t stop within the next two hours, we should consider postponing Maria’s retirement party.

W: I think it’s too late to postpone it. The food and flowers are set to arrive in an hour, so we’d better come up with an alternative to holding it in the garden.

W: Today we’re speaking to Peter, who is going to tell us about the Pomodoro Technique, a system to help manage your time. It was named after a tomato-shaped timer. And this tomato has helped Peter become an A-grade student. So, Peter, tell us about the Pomodoro Technique.

M: It’s about getting maximum productivity from your available time.

W: Is it difficult to follow?

M: No. It’s actually very simple. Take writing an essay as an example. You need to think about all the stages of the task and then write a clear to-do list on a piece of paper. When you are ready to start you set the timer to 25 minutes and you start working on the first item on the list. When the timer goes off you must take a short break of between 3 to 5 minutes. Then you go on with the next item …

M: Hello. My name is Sokolov. I have been trying to speak to the hotel owner for a couple of days now with no success. I have to say, this is truly disappointing for a five-star hotel, especially with the amount of money we spent during our stay with you. My family and I stayed at the Hotel Chandelier from May 25th to 27th and the whole experience was just absolutely awful. None of your waiters could speak Russian, even though I have an email from you assuring us that there would be a minimum of two Russian speaking staff on every shift. You had noisy kids’ activities and competitions by the pool non-stop. It made it really difficult to relax. When expressing our concerns to the manager, Mr. Lewis, not only was he unable to provide us with a space where we could relax and read our books, but he also told us that smoking was not allowed in the hotel, although again, we checked this before our stay and you told us that smoking outdoors was permitted. Please get back to me as soon as possible or I will take these matters to my legal team.
