Dear Tom，

I’m more than happier that you’re interested in Chinese culture. Now let me tell you something about a Dragon Boat Festival.

It’s a traditional Chinese festival falling in the 5th day of the 5th month of the Chinese lunar calendar. It’s widely believed that the festival held in memory the great poet Qu Yuan，who lived in ancient times. Disappointed with the government，he drowned him in the Miluo River.

The festival is celebrated by boat racing, with the boats building in the shape of dragons. Competing teams row their boats forward to the drumbeat, race to reach the finishing end first. We also have the custom of eating zongzi, wrapped with bamboo leaf. It’s very popularly among Chinese people.

If you will want to know about other Chinese traditional festivals, just write to me.

Yours,

Li Hua

Answer 1

【答案】1. happier—happy

2. a—the

3. in—on

4.在festival held 之间加 is

5. him—himself

6. building—built

7. race—racing

8. leaf—leaves

9. popularly—popular

10.去掉 will

【解析】第一处：happier—happy 考查形容词。More than作副词讲时，意为“非常”，相当于very，所以这里不是比较级，而用形容词原级。

第二处：a—the 考查冠词。表示中国传统的节日时需用定冠词the，表示特指。

第三处：in—on 考查介词。表示在某一个月的某一天时需用介词on。

第四处：在festival held 之间加 is 考查被动语态。Festival 与hold之间是被动关系，所以需用被动语态，故在festival和held之间加is。

第五处：him—himself 考查反身代词。这里指的是屈原自己跳河自杀，所以是drown himself。

第六处：building—built 该句为定语从句，省略了that，boat与build之间是被动的关系，所以这里build需用过去分词。

第七处：race—racing 考查动词。这里的race与前句的competing是并列关系，所以这里race也需用现在分词。

第八处：leaf—leaves 考查名词复数。这里的leaf不止一片，所以需用复数形式leaves。

第九处：popularly—popular 考查形容词。Be popular流行的，受欢迎的，be动词后用形容词做表语，所以填popular。

第十处：去掉will 考查条件状语从句。If引导的条件状语从句遵循主将从现的规则，所以这里从句需去掉will。
