语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了傣族泼水节的相关情况, 包括时间、活动内容和意义等。
1.observed 考查非谓语动词。这是云南省西双版纳的傣族人所庆祝的最重要的节日。根据该句中的“by the Dai people”可知, 动词observe和名词festival之间是逻辑上的
动宾关系, 故用过去分词作后置定语。
2.which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知, 空处引导非限制性定语从句, 在从句中作主语, 先行词为“the festival”, 故用which引导该定语从句。
3.activities 考查名词复数。activity“(群体性的)活动”为可数名词, 根据该句中的“a variety of”可知, 此处表示“多种多样的活动”, 故用其复数形式。
4.are held 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。由上下文可知, 此处用一般现在时;该句主语为“Dragon boat racing, fireworks displays and other performances such as Peacock Dance”, 故谓语动词用复数形式;主语和动词hold之间为被动关系, 故用被动语态, 故填are held。
5.is 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。该句主语为“the most popular event”, 为单数名词, 故谓语动词用单数形式;该句陈述的是客观事实, 故用一般现在时。
6.luckier 考查形容词的比较级。根据句子结构和该句中的“The wetter”可知, 该句为“the more ...the more ...”结构, 表示“越……, 就越……”, 故填luckier。
7.to express 考查非谓语动词。最后一天的活动通常是年轻人玩游戏来表达他们对彼此的爱。根据语境可知, 空处表示目的, 故用动词不定式作目的状语。
8.vividly 考查副词。泼水节生动地展示了傣族人对水和音乐、舞蹈、食物以及服饰文化的尊重。根据空后的“exhibits”可知, 空处修饰该动词, 故用vivid的副词形式。
9.between 考查介词。泼水节也是西双版纳和东南亚国家之间的文化桥梁, 他们共享相同的泼水节日文化。此处表示两者之间, 故用between。
10.the 考查冠词。根据语境可知, 此处表示特指, 故填the。
