What's the (54)secret?They are following the 24Solar Terms(节气),which are an important part of Chinese culture.Last year the United Nations(55)addedit to the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人类非物质文化遗产).
The 24Solar Terms began during the ancient periods.At that time,most Chinese people made(56)theirliving on farms.So weather changes were important for them.But of course,they had (57)noweather report or Internet to help them.
But people found a way.They studied the sun's movement and also(58)paidattention to other natural changes (59)such as air temperature,water and plant growth.(60)In the end,they worked out the 24Solar Terms to mark the changes.
The terms became their guide to farming work.For example,the solar term jingzhe (惊蛰) is when insects wake up (61)froma long sleep in the cold winter.Farmers take it as a sign of warm weather and get busy working.
The 24Solar Terms is regarded as China's (62)fifth great invention,after papermaking,printing,the compass and gunpowder.Now,it is still widely used in daily life even in the age of technology-based modern farming.
分析 文章大意:
文章主要讲述的是中国人的智慧.在以前没有天气预报和网络的时代,人们通过研究太阳的轨迹和自然环境的变化,推演和总结出24节气的变化规律,用于指导他们的生产和农耕.
解答 53.and,考察连词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"Give them a Chinese lunar calendar"给他们一份日历,后文提到"hey will know what the weather will be like days or even months later"他们将会知道很久之后的天气变化,两句之间是承接关系,用and.
54.secret,考察名词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"hey will know what the weather will be like days or even months later"给老人一本日历,他们将会知道很久之后的天气变化,后文又说12节气,由此确定此处想要表达他们的诀窍在哪,填写secret.
55.added,考察动词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"to the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity"人类非物质文化遗产名录,因为是名录,所以应该是添加,由于发生在过去,所以用过去式,填写added.
56.their,考察代词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"most Chinese people"大多数的中国人,文中后文提到"farms"农场,我们知道,古代农民以种地为生,make one's living on doing sth 以做某事谋生,由于是大多数的中国人,由此确定填写their.
57.no,考察副词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"weather report or Internet"天气预报和网络,在之前是没有这些东西的,所以填写no.
58.paid,考察动词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"They studied the sun's movement"他们研究太阳的运行轨迹,"other natural changes"自然的变化,由此确定应该是关注自然的变化,pay attention to注意…由于发生在过去,所以用过去式,填写paid.
59.such as,考察连词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"other natural changes"自然的变化,后文提到"air temperature,water"温度、水源等,由此确定是在举例,填写such as.
60.In the end,考察介词短语辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"they worked out the 24 Solar Terms to mark the changes"他们总结出了24节气的规律,由此确定是在研究现象之后总结出来的,所以填写In the end表示最终.
61.from,考察介词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"when insects wake up"昆虫在惊蛰节气的时候,我们知道,惊蛰时昆虫会从冬眠中醒过来,由此确定填写from.
62.fifth,考察数词辨析及上下文理解,文中提到"after paper making,printing,the compass and gunpowder"在造纸术、印刷术、指南针和火药之后,因此确定是排在第五位,填写序数词fifth表示第五.
点评 本题题型为选词填空.在选择给定词语时,再考虑文章大意的前提下,还应该注意文章及句子所用的时态,以及所填写的词在句子中的位置.通过这些判断,适当改变词汇形式,以符合题目要求.
