The weather is starting to warm up.The days are getting longer.Flowers are appearing on the trees.Spring is in the air!Spring starts on different dates in different places.
For most countries in the Northern Hemisphere （北半球），such as China and the US，spring begins in March and ends in May.While，September，October and November are spring months in many Southern Hemisphere countries like Australia and New Zealand.
In the world，most countries have special traditions to celebrate the arrival of this beautiful season.
Chinese people often eat spring pancakes on the day called Lichun.This tradition means bite﹣the﹣spring （咬春） in Chinese.In the past，people thought eating spring pancakes on this day would lead to a harvest （丰收） year.Today，they are common in many restaurants.
In Japan，families and friends celebrate spring by gathering in the park to enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms （樱花）.It is a traditional custom known as "hanami"，meaning "watch flowers".Hanami usually lasts from late March to early May.People hold parties and picnics under the cherry trees.Food，drink and even dancing are part of "hanami".
In the US，a groundhog （土拨鼠） helping to tell the coming of spring has become a tradition.There's even a special day，Ground Day，on Feb.2.The legend says that if a groundhog sees his shadow when he comes out of his tree stump，people can expect six more weeks of winter.If there's no shadow，spring is on the way!But the groundhog isn't always right.Its forecast are only 39 percent right，according to National Climate Date Center of the US.

（2）考查名词。句意：一些国家的传统。根据原文 In the world，most countries have special traditions to celebrate the arrival of this beautiful season（世界上大多数国家有特别的传统来庆祝这个美丽季节的到来），可知表格中介绍中国、日本和美国庆祝春天到来的传统，tradition为可数名词，此处用复数形式。故填：Traditions。

（4）考查动词。句意：聚会和野餐在樱花树下进行，包括食物、饮料和舞蹈。根据原文People hold parties and picnics under the cherry trees.（人们在樱花树下举行聚会和野餐。）可知原句中的宾语parties and picnics 在表格中的句子里变成主语，应把主动语态变成被动语态，结构为be+过去分词，主语是复数名词，时态为一般现在时，系动词用are。故填：are held。
（5）考查名词所有格。句意：在土拨鼠影子的帮助下，人们可以判断春天的到来。根据原文a groundhog （土拨鼠） helping to tell the coming of spring has become a tradition（土拨鼠帮助判断春天的到来已经成为一个传统），If there's no shadow，spring is on the way（如果没有影子，春天即将到来），可知在美国，人们通过土拨鼠的影子来判断春天的到来，故此处应填"土拨鼠的"。故填：a groundhog's。

第七节　翻译语篇 （共1题 ，总计10分）
18．（10分）阅读下面的材料，然后将画线部分的句子译成汉语或英语。
In the USA，about 450，000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school.The yellow school bus is a US symbol.Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939.Dr.Frank got the good idea.He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning and later afternoon. （1）他也说那会使孩子们更安全。
There are not many school buses in Britain，and they are not yellow.They have trackers （追踪器） on them，so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. （2）The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus.
Kindergarten （幼儿园） is a difficult time for some kids. （3）这是他们第一次离开父母。Kindergartens in Japan prepare colorful buses for the kids in order to make them like to go to school.The buses can easily make children want to take them and then，go to school.Even some parents want to take them，too!
（4） Nowadays school buses are becoming more and more popular in China. It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus. （5）It is said that there will be 3，000 yellow school buses on the road by the end of the year in our city.

【解答】（1）汉译英题。他"he"，位于句首，首字母需要大写；也"also"，位于肯定句句中，位于实义动词之前；说"say"，根据前句的said，可知时态为一般过去时，say的过去式为said；that引导宾语从句；这里用it指代the good idea；会做某事"will do sth"，这里用will的过去式would；使...怎么样"make sb+形容词"；孩子们"children"；更安全"safer"。故答案为：He also said that it would make children safer.

（3）汉译英题。It's the first time for sb to do sth"这是某人第一次做某事"，根据前句的is，可知时态为一般现在时，故这里为It's；他们"them"；离开"go away from"；他们的父母"their parents"。故答案为：It's the first time for them to go away from their parents.
（4）英译汉题。Nowadays"如今"；school buses"校车"；are becoming"正变得"；more and more popular"越来越流行"；in China"在中国"。故答案为：如今，校车在中国越来越流行。
（5）英译汉题。It is said that..."据说"；there will be"将有"；3，000 yellow school buses"3000辆黄色校车"；on the road"在路上"；by the end of the year"年底"；in our city"在我们的城市"。故答案为：据说到年底，我市将有3000辆黄色校车上路。
