【題目】 This year, the Spring Equinox(春分), the fourth of the 24 solar terms (節(jié)氣), falls on March 20. It m1 the most lively days of spring have come.

The Spring Equinox marks the point when day and n2 equally divide the whole day. After this day, daytime will last l3 than night. Therefore, it is not only important in China, but also in many other c4 around the world. Spring Equinox Day is a public holiday in Japan. In Iran(伊朗), it is called “Nowruz”, which is also known as the Iranian New Year.

Spring Equinox is the best time for going o5, admiring flowers and flying kites in China. There are also rituals (儀式) that have been kept over centuries, such as balancing e6. The idea is that on Spring Equinox, Earth’s axis () is perpendicular (垂直的) to the sun. So Earth is more balanced on this day. It’s usually very d7 to balance an egg because the yolk (蛋黃) is off-center. But on Spring Equinox, it is believed that there are some special gravitational (引力的) forces that can h8. However, this isn’t true. If you focus long enough, you can actually balance an egg on its end any day of the year. All you need is a lot of p9. But balancing eggs is still a fun tradition for people. In some places, people p10 the eggs in many colors and hold egg-balancing competitions.

【解析】

文章主要介紹了二十四節(jié)氣中的春分以及諸如立雞蛋等相關(guān)的習(xí)俗。

1

句意:這意味著春天最熱鬧的日子已經(jīng)到來。

分析句子成分可知,這里缺少一個(gè)動詞;結(jié)合常識和下文人們進(jìn)行的戶外活動可知,春分意味著春天里最熱鬧的日子來到了,結(jié)合首字母m的提示可知,這里用動詞“意味著”mean,結(jié)合時(shí)態(tài)用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),主語it是第三人稱單數(shù),所以mean要用其第三人稱單數(shù)的形式,故填means

2

句意:春分標(biāo)志著晝夜平分全天的時(shí)刻。

根據(jù)下一句可知在春分這一天,白天和夜晚的時(shí)間一樣長,結(jié)合首字母n的提示可知,這里用名詞“夜晚”night,空前day用的是單數(shù),為了形式一致,所以這里night也用單數(shù),故填night。

3

句意:從這一天以后,白天將比夜晚長。

根據(jù)下一段可知因?yàn)榇悍趾,白天比夜晚更長了,所以人們都會外出開展戶外活動;結(jié)合首字母l的提示和空后than可知,此處用形容詞“長的”long的比較級,故填longer。

4

句意:因此,它不僅在中國很重要,在世界上許多國家也很重要。

根據(jù)下文提及在日本和伊朗,春分甚至是節(jié)假日可知,春分在世界上的其他國家也很重要;結(jié)合首字母c的提示可知,這里用名詞“國家”country,空前有many修飾,所以country用其復(fù)數(shù)的形式,故填countries

5

句意:在中國,春分是外出賞花、放風(fēng)箏的最佳時(shí)間。

根據(jù)句意可知,賞花、放風(fēng)箏都屬于戶外活動,所以春分是人們外出的最佳時(shí)間;結(jié)合首字母o的提示可知,這里可以用副詞“在室外”out或者outside,故填out/outside。

6

句意:還有一些習(xí)俗延續(xù)了幾個(gè)世紀(jì),比如立雞蛋。

根據(jù)下文對立雞蛋風(fēng)俗的解釋和首字母e的提示可知,這里用名詞“雞蛋”egg,因?yàn)?/span>egg是可數(shù)名詞,所以這里用其復(fù)數(shù)的形式,故填eggs

7

句意:通常保持一個(gè)雞蛋平衡是很困難的,因?yàn)榈包S偏離中心。

分析句子成分可知,這里缺少一個(gè)形容詞。根據(jù)句意和空后“because the yolk (蛋黃) is off-center”可知因?yàn)榈包S偏離中心,所以立雞蛋很難;結(jié)合首字母d的提示可知,這里用形容詞“困難的”difficult,故填difficult。

8

句意:但在春分這一天,人們相信有一些特殊的引力可以幫助(立雞蛋)。

分析句子成分可知,這里缺少一個(gè)動詞。根據(jù)人們對春分這一天的理解,人們覺得在這一天有引力能幫助把雞蛋立起來;結(jié)合首字母h的提示可知,這里用動詞“幫助”help,空前有情態(tài)動詞can,所以help用原形,故填help。

9

句意:你所需要的就是足夠的耐心或大量的練習(xí)。

分析句子成分可知,這里缺少一個(gè)名詞。根據(jù)上一句“If you focus long enough, you can actually balance an egg on its end any day of the year.”可知如果專注時(shí)間夠長,一年中的任何一天都可以把雞蛋立起來;結(jié)合首字母p的提示可知,這里可以用名詞“耐心”或者“練習(xí)”,故填patience/practice。

10

句意:在一些地方,人們把雞蛋涂成多種顏色,并舉行立雞蛋比賽。

分析句子成分可知,這里缺少一個(gè)動詞。根據(jù)空后many colors可知,人們還會把雞蛋涂成許多顏色;結(jié)合首字母p的提示可知,這里用動詞“給……涂上”paint,結(jié)合時(shí)態(tài)一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),主語people是復(fù)數(shù),所以paint用原形,故填paint。
