分析 本文是一篇歷史文化類閱讀,主要簡單介紹了一些中國春節(jié)的習(xí)俗和禁忌.
解答 52-55.ABCD
52題答案:A考查細節(jié)推理,根據(jù)文章第二段的On the eve of the Spring Festival,family members get together and have big meals.(在除夕夜,家人相聚一起吃大餐)可知本題答案為A選項.
53題答案:B考查細節(jié)推理,根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段的So don't say any bad words or do anything that will bring unhappiness to other people.For instance,you'd better not say any bad words like"death".(因此不要說任何不好的話、不要做任何會給別人帶來不悅的事情.例如說與"死"相關(guān)的話)可知在春節(jié)期間不能跟別人說與死有關(guān)的話,因為中國人是很忌諱在春節(jié)這么喜慶的節(jié)日里聽到"死"的;故本題答案為B選項.
54題答案:C考查詞義猜測,中國的傳統(tǒng)觀念認為過年的時候如果打碎了東西,則意味著來年財運盡失(當然也有"歲歲平安"一說);故橫線短語意為"耗盡".
55題答案:D考查細節(jié)推理,根據(jù)文章第二段的On the eve of the Spring Festival,family members get together and have big meals.(在除夕夜,家人相聚一起吃大餐)可知春節(jié)是"家人團聚的時刻",故本題答案為D選項.
