Spring Festival arrived on Feb. 19th this year. It’s Year of the Sheep. What stories do you know about the animal?

(1) One of China’s biggest cities, Guangzhou, is called the “City of Goats(山羊)”. It is said that thousands of years ago, five fairies(仙女) came down from heaven on goats. They left good grain seeds(谷物的種子)for people. They hoped people there had enough food. The fairies flew away. And the goats became stone sculptures(石雕). They still stand in the city center today.

(2)In western cultures, the sheep is not only patient but also helpful. The sign of Aries(白羊座)is also the first sign of the Zodiac(十二星座). In China, those who were born in the Year of the Sheep are said to have good qualities(品質(zhì)). They are sensitive(敏感的), creative and smart. And they are not afraid of difficulties. Chinese legend says that people born in the Year of the Sheep have a difficult life. Is that really true?(3) But today many men who were born in the Year of the Sheep lead a very good life. For example, US Microsoft founder Bill Gates, world-famous actress Zhang Ziyi and singer Gem Tang from Hong Kong.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】中國最大的城市之一，廣州，被稱為“羊城”。

【2】在西方文化中，羊不僅是有耐心的，而且還是樂于助人的／對(duì)人有幫助的（動(dòng)物）。

【3】但是今天，許多在羊年出生的人／屬羊的人都生活得很好／過得很好／有好命／過得／生活得很幸福。

【解析】

短文主要講述了羊年有關(guān)羊的故事。介紹了廣州被稱為“羊城”的來歷。在西方文化中，羊不僅是有耐心的，而且還是樂于助人的/對(duì)人有幫助的動(dòng)物。中國人認(rèn)為出生在羊年的人據(jù)具有良好的素質(zhì)：敏感，有創(chuàng)造性，聰明。

【1】該句為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)，One of China's biggest cities，中國最大的城市之一；is called被叫做；City of Goats 意為“羊城”。故正確答案為“中國最大的城市之一，廣州，被稱為“羊城”。

【2】根據(jù)句型In western cultures，the sheep is not only patient but also helpful，可知該句用了固定短語not only …but also，不但 …而且；In western cultures在西方文化中；patient有耐心的；helpful樂于助人的；故答案為“在西方文化中，羊不僅是有耐心的，而且還是樂于助人的/對(duì)人有幫助的（動(dòng)物）。”

【3】根據(jù)句型But today many men who were born in the Year of the Sheep lead a very good life；可知該句為以who引導(dǎo)的定語從句who were born in the Year of the Sheep，修飾先行詞men，意為許多在羊年出生的人；be born in 出生于；lead a very good life過著很好的生活。故正確答案為“但是今天，許多在羊年出生的人/屬羊的人都生活得很好/過得很好/有好命/過得/生活得很幸�！�。
