Question

【題目】Are two holidays not enough? Do you dream of three, or even four? (1)這不再是夢想! Last month, the State Council(國務(wù)院) encouraged primary and high schools to give students a spring or autumn break without changing the total number of student vacation days.

Students in China currently only have long holidays in two seasons —summer and winter. These holidays are usually 10 to 12 weeks in total.“If we had spring and autumn breaks, (2)I would have time to taste all four seasons instead of burying__埋) myself in my studies,” Gao Yiran , a 15-year-old boy told China Daily. Seasonal holidays during autumn and spring may be something new in China, but not in other countries.

In the US, students usually have three holidays. Summer holiday is the longest one, and runs from mid-June until early September. Summer camp is one of kids’ favorite places to go to, where they can make new friends and try some new activities. Winter holiday starts from mid-December and ends in early January. Most kids and their parents go to spend time together over the Christmas period. Spring break comes in mid- March and (3) it is usually a___-day holiday.

Schools in Japan start in April, as most people think that spring is the perfect time for new things. For school children ,summer holiday lasts from July 20 to August 31. Most kids are busy with club activities including sports and dancing. Spring break starts at the end of March and continues till early April. It is a good chance for a short family trip around the city.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】It may not be a dream any more!

(It’s not a dream any more!)

(It’s no more a dream!)

【2】我就有時(shí)間品味四季美景，而不必只是埋頭于學(xué)習(xí)。

【3】Spring break

【5】Seasonal holidays and holiday activities

【解析】本文主要介紹了不同國家在春夏秋冬四個(gè)季節(jié)，孩子過的不同假期以及他們在假期的活動(dòng)。

【1】not…..any more=no more“不再”，故此處為It may not be a dream any more!

(It’s not a dream any more!)

(It’s no more a dream!)

【2】根據(jù)have time to do sth有時(shí)間做某事，taste all four seasons品味四季；instead of而不是，bury oneself in sth埋頭做某事，故此處的意思是：我就有時(shí)間品味四季美景，而不必只是埋頭于學(xué)習(xí)。

【3】根據(jù)Spring break comes in mid- March 可知此處介紹的是春假，故為Spring break 。

【4】根據(jù)It is a good chance for a short family trip around the city. 可知日本的孩子們經(jīng)常在春假期間，在城市周圍進(jìn)行很短的家庭旅行，故此處為They often take a short family trip around the city.

【5】本文主要介紹了在春夏秋冬四個(gè)季節(jié)，孩子過的假期以及在假期的活動(dòng)，故標(biāo)題概括為：Seasonal holidays and holiday activities
