Question

【題目】 Every year, there are many people going home by long-distance buses during the Spring Festival and the Tomb-sweeping Day. There are more walkers on their way home or to work on the roads. So there are more and more traffic accidents on the roads. Thanks to the efforts of the traffic police, it is said this year the number of traffic accidents across China was 25.2 percent fewer than the year of 2018 during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day.

Tomb-sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival. It is an important occasion for Chinese to honor their ancestors(祖先). Most people go home in memory of their ancestors on that day. About 9.78 million Chinese visited cemeteries to honor their ancestors or relatives during the holiday. A few people also spent the three-day holiday on leisure trains. So transportation safety is a big problem.

On the other hand, it is said Chinese have made 112 million trips during the holiday, up 10.9 percent from last year’s holiday. For the traffic accidents, some people lost their lives. This year, traffic accidents caused 10 deaths during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day.

The fewer traffic accidents are all from the efforts of the police and our government. With the development of society and the government’s efforts, I believe everything will change better.

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，說的是在警方和政府的努力下，今年的清明節(jié)交通事故數(shù)量較2018年有大幅度下降。

【1】題意：為什么假期里交通事故多？

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文“There are more walkers on their way home or to work on the roads. So there are more and more traffic accidents on the roads”可知，出行在路上的人越來越來多了，所以交通事故的發(fā)生幾率也大大增加了。D選項(xiàng)Because there are more people on the roads“因?yàn)槁飞系娜硕嗔恕狈�合題意，故選D。

【2】題意：清明節(jié)三天假期里，交通事故數(shù)量比2018年減少了約__________。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文“it is said this year the number of traffic accidents across China was 25.2 percent fewer than the year of 2018 during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day”可知，清明節(jié)三天假期里，交通事故數(shù)量比2018年減少了約25.2%。B選項(xiàng)25.2%符合題意，故選B。

【3】題意：畫線單詞“cemeteries”的意思是？

詞句猜測題。單詞所在句為“About 9.78 million Chinese visited cemeteries to honor their ancestors or relatives during the holiday，”根據(jù)句中“honor their ancestors or relatives during the holiday，”可推斷清明節(jié)人們會(huì)去墓地為祖先和親人掃墓，故cemeteries意為“墓地”。A選項(xiàng)“墓地”符合題意，故選A。

【4】題意：根據(jù)本文內(nèi)容可知，哪一項(xiàng)是正確的？

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文“Tomb-sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival”可知，“掃墓日”又名為“清明節(jié)”，兩者是一個(gè)概念，故A選項(xiàng)“掃墓日不同于清明節(jié)”說法錯(cuò)誤，可排除。根據(jù)原文“Most people go home in memory of their ancestors on that day”可知，絕大多數(shù)中國人會(huì)在清明節(jié)祭祀祖先，B選項(xiàng)“大約一半的中國人在清明節(jié)祭祖”說法錯(cuò)誤，可排除。D選項(xiàng)文中無對(duì)應(yīng)內(nèi)容可查，可排除。根據(jù)原文“it is said Chinese have made 112 million trips during the holiday, up 10.9 percent from last year’s holiday”可知，中國人在節(jié)日期間的旅行量比去年增加了10.9%，C選項(xiàng)More and more people like traveling during their holidays“越來越多的人喜歡在假期旅行”說法正確，故選C。

【5】題意：你在哪里能讀到這篇文章？

推理判斷題。通讀全文可知，本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道，說的是今年清明節(jié)交通事故數(shù)量比2018年減少了約25.2%，而新聞報(bào)道通常會(huì)出現(xiàn)在報(bào)紙上。B選項(xiàng)In a newspaper“在報(bào)紙上”符合題意，故選B。
