句意:在此期间,人们会烧祭品和准备大餐以纪念死者。

old老的;poor穷的;dead死亡的;sick病的。根据前文“…the Ghost Festival is celebrated in many parts of China. During this time, people will burn offerings(祭品)”可知,是中元节,为了悼念死去的人的节日,会焚烧祭品。故选C

same相同的;similar相似的;different不同的;funny滑稽的。根据后文内容可知,后文在过该节日的方式不同,但是其他国家也有类似的节日。故选B

3

句意:这是生长季节的结束和冬天的开始。

plants植物;weather天气;season季节;rice米饭。分析“It was the end of the growing ___3___ and the beginning of winter”可知,该句表示“这是生长季节的结束和冬天的开始”,提到了季节winter,所以此处强调“季节”。故选C

句意:人们相信在这一天鬼魂会回到地球。

returned返回;went去;had有;agreed同意。根据后文“In order to scare the ghosts away, people built huge fires and wore costumes made of animal skins.”可知,要将鬼魂吓跑,所以此处应表示“这一天鬼魂会回到地球”。故选A

Most最;The most定冠词the+最;Best最好的;The best定冠词the+最好的,根据前文“Many of the original(最初的) Halloween traditions have developed today into funny activities for children.”可知,万圣节有很多传统,但是“不给糖就捣蛋”是最流行的一个,此处应使用“the+形容词最高级”结构,修饰其后的one。故选B

8

句意:这句话的意思是:“给我们好吃的,否则我们就捉弄你!

or或者,否则;and和;also也;a little一点。分析句子可知,此处是对“Trick or treat!”的解读,表示“给我们好吃的,否则我们就捉弄你”,强调“否则”的含义。故选A

9

few几乎没有,修饰可数名词;a few一点,修饰可数名词;little几乎没有,修饰不可数名词;a little一点,修饰不可数名词。分析句子可知,此处表示肯定含义,会给一些硬币,又因为coins是可数名词,所以用a few 修饰。故选B

【题目】 One day Madison's teacher found her sitting alone at lunch, looking sad and upset. She could hardly eat the butter sandwich that she usually couldn't wait to eat. "What's the matter, Madison?" the teacher asked. Later that afternoon, Trey was standing alone by the basketball court after school. Trey's mom asked him why he didn't go to play with Zack and Steve, who were shooting hoops. He told his mom that he just didn't feel like it, so they walked home.

But the truth was that Trey and Madison were facing the same problem: They both felt left out, and their feelings were hurt, they felt lonely.

Madison was so sad that he didn't want to eat, and Trey was so mad that when he got home he slammed his bedroom door. The kids who had been their friends before weren't their friends all that time.

What can you do if you're feeling lonely? Let's read some kids' advice on how to deal with loneliness.

"Take something to school and if someone asks to play with you, say yes. They might ask you to play with them next time." (Caleb)

"Listen to music or learn to play an instrument." (Rizwan)

"Help mom or Dad to do jobs. You'll have someone to talk to and you'll learn how to do things when you grow up" (Natalia)
