Question

【題目】You see people in movies celebrating a white Christmas in England or the United States. But Christmas in Australia is different.

The holiday, celebrated on Dec 25, comes at the hottest time of the year in Australia. The temperature is usually about 30°C in most cities and can even be over 40°C. There is certainly no white Christmas in Australia.

Because it is so hot, the tradition is to have a lunch outside and to swim in the pool or beach. (A) Most people have a one-week holiday during this time, so they will travel to meet their family for Christmas lunch. Christmas lunch is usually a big meal of ham, turkey, salad and fresh seafood. Family members all cook something different to bring to a big meal . I always enjoy Christmas lunch because there are lots of good cooks in the family. One year my aunt even made a delicious gingerbread house(姜餅屋) that we ate for desert.

Children get presents from “Santa Claus” and are always excited to play with them. (B) It is a fun time to play or swim in the pool with the other members of your family.

The sport of cricket(板球) is very popular in Australia and another tradition is to play a game of cricket in your backyard. So the children were playing cricket(C) __________parents were watching it in the backyard. So I always enjoyed playing with cousins when I was growing up.

【5】 Australia’s Christmas\Christmas in Australia

【解析】

文章介紹了在澳大利亞，圣誕節(jié)的到來(lái)時(shí)間、以及與英國(guó)和美國(guó)不同的慶祝節(jié)日的方式。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)第二行“The holiday，celebrated on Dec 25，comes at the hottest time of the year in Australia．The temperature is usually about 30°C in most cities and can even be over 40°C．There is certainly no white Christmas in Australia．”可知本題的答案是：Because the holiday, celebrated on Dec 25, comes at the hottest time of the year in Australia.

【2】對(duì)原句進(jìn)行同義句轉(zhuǎn)換，通過對(duì)比原句和答題句可知，需要把原句中a one-week holiday一周的假期用同義詞組轉(zhuǎn)換，也就是一周不上班，所以本題的答案是：(1). one/a (2). week (3). off。

【3】句子翻譯題。此句句型是it is a fun time to do sth做某事是有趣的時(shí)刻，按照這個(gè)句型結(jié)構(gòu)順序翻譯，玩或者在游泳池里游泳是很有趣的時(shí)刻。然后看地點(diǎn)是in the pool在游泳池中，with the other members of your family是和其他家庭成員。按照正常的語(yǔ)序調(diào)整，故答案為和家庭其他成員一起玩或者在游泳池里游泳是很有趣的時(shí)刻。

【4】句子結(jié)構(gòu)題。So the children were playing cricket(C) __________parents were watching it in the backyard.因此當(dāng)孩子們?cè)谕姘迩驎r(shí)，父母在后院看著他們。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，前后半句都是過去進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)，表示兩個(gè)動(dòng)作同時(shí)進(jìn)行，一邊……一邊……。故本題的答案為while。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境，文章第一、二句話是開篇之句，也是本文要講述的主題句You see people in movies celebrating a white Christmas in England or the United States．But Christmas in Australian is different你們看到電影里英國(guó)和美國(guó)慶祝白色圣誕節(jié)，但是澳大利亞的圣誕節(jié)卻不一樣。可知文章主要介紹的是澳大利亞的圣誕節(jié)，故應(yīng)該以“澳大利亞的圣誕節(jié)”為題目，故答案為Christmas in Australian．

主旨大意題是近幾年初中英語(yǔ)閱讀中最常見的題型，出題方式有：找主題句及找出文章的題目。這類題型相對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單，一般只需閱讀文章首尾段即可找到正確答案。例如小題5，概括本文的標(biāo)題，通過閱讀第一段You see people in movies celebrating a white Christmas in England or the United States. But Christmas in Australia is different.很容易找到主題句是But Christmas in Australia is different.再對(duì)這句話進(jìn)行概括可知本題答案是Christmas in Australian。
