I’m nw living in the suth f France with my husband Keith and three small children, and I feel like a fish ut f water everywhere but ne place—the Saturday street market. It’s been perating in ur small twn f Smmières since the 13th century, but we’ve nly lived here fr three mnths.
Frm Mnday t Friday, life is all abut the kids. I’m busy helping my children deal with life in a French schl. It’s nt easy, and their stress is the whle family’s stress, as Keith and I are ccupied with the daily schl run, piles f hmewrk and schl ntes in French.
But n Saturday, the market is fr me. I feel s peaceful as I walk alng the quiet street tward the busy twn square. The knife-sharpening man is there, perating a machine that lks like it dates frm the Industrial Revlutin. There’re street musicians with guitars and micrphnes, and the sund f beautiful sngs fills the air. And the fd, f curse, is delicius. The cheese man desn’t speak—he just pints and cuts，ffering a piece frm his knife. Lines cme ut f the dr fr fresh bread at the bakery. Organic vegetables, herbs and desserts are a feast fr the eyes, befre being put int the bag t be enjyed later fr lunch. The nises smells f the market are unfamiliar, but their rcedures are clear t me. This is part f why I lve the place s much：Unlike during the week, when I’m cnstantly faced with my wn difficulties, I knw hw this place wrks. My terrible French isn’t the barrier t cmmunicatin that it is in ther circumstances.
At schl and in the village, I can’t jke r jin a cnversatin, and althugh the ther parents at schl are kind, I’m an utsider. But at the market, I’m just anther custmer with a basket. Surrunded by day trippers, I feel like a lcal—greeting peple I knw and petting dgs.
My Saturday experiences allw me t hpe that in the near future I’ll feel equally cnfident in my everyday life. Until then, Saturdays prepare me fr the cming week f the schl run.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章以中国的对联为话题，介绍了对联的种类、特征及表达的含义，且对联现在在其他一些国家也可看到。
解析：
1．考查副词。空处修饰动词be classified，应用副词形式，故填 generally。
2．考查形容词。根据空前的entertaining和空后的cuplets可知，此处应用形容词作定语，故填humrus。
3．考查名词。根据语境可知，此处表示对联在长度上差别很大。vary in sth.“在某方面有差异/不同”，跟在介词in后面应用名词，故填length。
4．考查非谓语动词。空处所在部分作后置定语修饰前面提到的“the lngest ne”，主语 the lngest ne与find之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故填fund。
5．考查冠词。此处表达“……的数量”，表示特指，故填the。
6．考查介词。此处表示“借助于”，故用介词by构成by means f“借助……手段”短语，故填by。
7．考查让步状语从句。无论作者想传达什么，他都得有好的概括力和驾驭汉语的本领。根据句意并分析句子结构可知，空处所在的句子为让步状语从句，从句中的cnvey是及物动词，故引导词作 cnvey的宾语，此处表示“无论什么”，故填Whatever。
8．考查非谓语动词。分析句意可知，此处作目的状语，故填t prduce。
9．考查动词的时态。空处作句子谓语，根据语境以及后面的时间状语“in the 20th century”可知，谓语动词应用一般过去时，故填began。
10．考查时态、语态和主谓一致。结合语境以及时间状语“at present”可知，此处描述现在存在的情况，应用一般现在时。主语为custm，且与谓语动词之间是被动关系，故填is bserved。
