【参考范文】

Dear Mr Smith,

In your last letter, you asked me about the Chinese Spring Festival.Now I’d like to tell you something about it.

The Chinese Spring Festival falls on the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, which is usually in January or February.

Before the Spring Festival, the Chinese people usually give their houses a good cleaning and on the eve of the Spring Festival, all the members of a family will get together, eating dumplings, fish and meat and parents may give children some lucky money in red envelopes.In the following days of the Spring Festival, there are dragon dances and other activities.People usually go to visit their relatives and friends, which is a good way to express their best wishes to the coming year.

Best wishes.

Yours,

Li Hua

Passage 1

(2021·浙江1月高考·A)

　　More than 25 years ago, Saroo Brierley lived in rural(农村)India.One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep.When he woke up and found himself alone, the 4-year-old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front of him—so he got on.

That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city.He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage(孤儿院).There, he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.

As he writes in his new book,A Long Way Home, Brierley couldn’t help but wonder about his hometown back in India.He remembered landmarks, but since he didn’t know his town’s name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country proved to be impossible.

Then he found a digital mapping program.He spent years searching for his hometown in the program’s satellite pictures.In 2011, he came across something familiar.He studied it and realized he was looking at a town’s central business district from a bird’s-eye view.He thought,“On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station”—and there it was.“And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain”—and there it was.Everything just started to match.

When he stood in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing in the entrance.“There’s something about me, ” he thought—and it took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.

In an interview Brierley says, “My mother looked so much shorter than I remembered.But she came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, and my feelings and tears and the chemical in my brain, you know, it was like a nuclear fusion(核聚变).I just didn’t know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true.And here I am, standing in front of her.”

【语篇概述】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了布尔利小时候意外走失,长大后通过自己的努力找回家人的故事。

1.Why was Brierley separated from his family about 25 years ago?

A.He got on a train by mistake.

B.He got lost while playing in the street.

C.He was taken away by a foreigner.

D.He was adopted by an Australian family.

【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“When he woke up and found himself alone, the 4-year-old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front of him—so he got on.(当他醒来发现自己一个人时,这个4岁的孩子判断他哥哥可能在他看到的前面的火车上,所以他上了车。)”以及第二段中“That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city.(那列火车把他带到了一个千里之外的陌生城市。)”可知,布尔利和家人分开是因为他误上了火车。故选A项。

2.How did Brierley find his hometown?

A.By analyzing old pictures.

B.By travelling all around India.

C.By studying digital maps.

D.By spreading his story via his book.

【解析】选C。细节理解题。通过文章第四段“Then he found a digital mapping program.He spent years searching for his hometown in the program’s satellite pictures.(然后他找到了一个数字地图程序。他花了数年时间在该程序的卫星图片中寻找家乡。)”以及“Everything just started to match.(一切都开始匹配了。)”可知,布尔利是通过研究数字地图找到家乡的。故选C项。

3.What does Brierley mainly talk about in the interview?

A.His love for his mother.　B.His reunion with his mother.

C.His long way back home. D.His memory of his hometown.

【解析】选B。细节理解题。通过文章最后一段内容(在一次采访中,布尔利说:“我妈妈看起来比我记忆中矮多了。但是她走了出来,朝我走来,我也向着她走去,我的感情、眼泪和大脑里的化学物质,你知道的,就像发生了核聚变。我只是不知道该说些什么,因为我从没想过见到我妈妈会成为现实。我就在这里,站在她面前。”)可知,布尔利在采访中讲述了他和母亲的团聚。故选B项。

关心孩子,首先要给孩子一个温暖的家、一个稳定的成长环境。家庭对一个人的学习、生活和工作具有重要影响。新课程标准将“个人、家庭、社区及学校生活”列为人与自我主题语境。本文讲述了布尔利经过千辛万苦重回家庭的经历,体现了家在一个人心中的分量。

1.　　　　　　2.　　　　　　3.　　　　　　4.　　　　　 

5.　　　　　　6.　　　　　　7.　　　　　　8.　　　　　 

9.　　　　　　10.　　　　　 

【语篇概述】本文介绍了中国许多地区在春节期间用橘树、竹子和梅花枝条装饰家居的传统风俗以及它们的寓意。

1.【解析】celebration。考查词性转换。根据空前面的不定冠词a可知此处需要名词,空后面的现在分词短语作定语修饰名词celebration。

2.【解析】carries。考查主谓一致和时态。此处why引导表语从句,表语从句中主语是decorating with plants, fruits and flowers,填空处作谓语。因为文章介绍的是中国现在仍然流行的一种习俗,所以用一般现在时。单个的动词-ing形式作主语,谓语动词用单数,所以填carries。

3.【解析】coming。考查非谓语动词。the earth和come之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,所以填coming。

4.【解析】than。考查固定搭配。more than在此处表示“不仅仅”。句意:橘树不仅仅是装饰;它们是好运和财富的象征。

5.【解析】decorated。考查非谓语动词。此处是“see+宾语+宾语补足语”结构。them作see的宾语,指代橘树,和decorate之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词decorated作宾语补足语。

6.【解析】Certainly。考查词性转换。此处副词位于句首修饰整个句子。

7.【解析】with。考查介词。be associated with是固定搭配,表示“和……有联系”。

8.【解析】to care。考查非谓语动词。“主语(具体的人或物)+be+形容词+动词不定式”是一个固定句型,表示主语的特征,其中动词不定式只能用主动形式。此句型可以转换成it(形式主语)+be+形容词+动词不定式。

9.【解析】beautiful。考查词性转换。此处需要形容词和long并列修饰后面的名词branches。

10.【解析】the。考查冠词。the first第一个人或事物。此处指梅树是第一个开花的。

文化知识包含中外文化知识,是学生在语言学习活动中理解文化内涵,比较文化异同,汲取文化精华,坚定文化自信的基础。掌握充分的中外多元文化知识,认同优秀文化,有助于促进英语学科核心素养的形成和发展。春节蕴含着深邃的文化内涵,在传承发展中承载了丰厚的历史文化底蕴,凝聚着中华传统文化精华。

They make great gifts and you see them many times decorated with red envelopes and messages of good fortune.

分析:本句是and连接的并列句。在第二个分句中,them指代orange trees,decorated是过去分词作宾语补足语,宾语them和宾语补足语之间是被动关系。

翻译:它们是很好的礼物,你会经常看到它们装饰着红包和祝福的话语。
