A lot of new roads _______ in order to develop the villages in the next five years.

A. are going to build B. is built C. will build D. are going to be built

D 【解析】句意：許多嶄新的道路將被修建，目的是在接下來的五年里發(fā)展村莊。道路只能“被修”，所以要用被動(dòng)語態(tài)，排除A/C，道路現(xiàn)在還沒建成，是將在未來五年內(nèi)建成，所以使用一般將來時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)will/be going to be done表示“將要被…”，這里是“將要被修成”will be built/ are going to be built，故選D。

閱讀填空 先通讀下面的短文，然后根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，在文章后表格的空格內(nèi)填入一個(gè)最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。所填單詞必須寫在答題卡對應(yīng)題號的橫線上。每個(gè)空格只能填一個(gè)單詞。

When I spent Christmas away from home in Europe for the first time, I was only 14 and it was certainly terrible. I am now married and live in the US. So there is little possibility for me to go home for Christmas. Now I am able to get through Christmas with some moments of joy:

First, you are advised to search your area for stores that carry items from your home country or town. Buy food, candles and some other things that mean something to you.

Hold on to the traditions from your home that you think are important even if other people think they are stupid. But keep in mind to be open for new traditions from wherever you might be, because those traditions are as important to those people around you as yours are to you. For me that includes celebrating Christmas on the 24th.

Call, write Christmas cards, buy gifts and mail them to loved ones, just as if you were there. If you try to be as if the holiday doesn't exist, you are just going to make it worse.

Introduce your traditions to your loved ones, especially your kids. It will only enrich their celebration of the holiday to have some special traditions in their home. Little by little it will become their tradition and it’s fun for them to try something new.

Food is one of the most important factors in any kind of tradition. Find the recipe (食譜) of that cake your grandmother used and make it your tradition to bake that particular cake.

Call up your parents and get them to send you some of your favorite childhood ornaments (裝飾品) for your tree.

Pay attention to new traditions, talk to your family about which ones you want to make your own and stick with them.

If you are far away from home, Christmas can never be the same as you experienced it before, but it is important to remember these traditions while enjoying the new ones.
