Ⅳ.應用文寫作假定你是校學生會負責人李華,來自新西蘭友好學校的師生代表將體驗你校下周舉辦的中國傳統(tǒng)文化周活動,請你結合圖示用英語寫一篇歡迎辭。注意:1.寫作詞數(shù)應為80左右;2.請在相應位置作答。Dearteachersandfellowstudents,_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________答案：Ⅰ.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了一群年輕人由于不了解小費文化,給了太多小費,讓在餐廳工作的Timothy十分尷尬,還好最后年輕人認識到了自己的問題,寫信解釋了原因。1.C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Althoughearningalowwageandhandlingill-manneredcustomers,healwaysputservingthosewhosatathistableswell...”可知,Timothy的工作重點是提供更好的服務。2.B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“Hearrivedatworkandexpectedittobelikeanyotherday,buttherewassomethingleftonthedeskforhim,atwohandwrittenletterfromtheteenagerswith$18attached,inwhichtheyexplainedtheywereunawareofhowtotipappropriatelyduetoitbeingtheirfirsttimeinthisbar.”可知,這些青少年留下了3美元的小費是因為不了解小費文化。3.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段以及最后一段內(nèi)容可推知,Timothy是個積極、投入的人。故選B項。4.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“Hearrivedatworkandexpectedittobelikeanyotherday...theywereunawareofhowtotipappropriatelyduetoitbeingtheirfirsttimeinthisbar.Everythingsuddenlymadesense.”可推知,年輕人告訴我們:把事情做對是件好事?！菊Z篇解讀】本文是一篇影評。文章主要介紹作者對改編自弗雷德里克·巴克曼(FredrikBackman)非常搞笑、令人心碎的小說《一個叫歐維的男人決定去死》的瑞典電影的評價。5.D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Towardtheendofthatfilm,whichwasbeautifullywrittenanddirectedbyHannesHolm”可知,這部電影是漢內(nèi)斯·霍姆(HannesHolm)寫的。6.C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Inthatmoment,Ovehasstartedtofindhisnewpurposejustbyallowingothersbackintohislifeandcaringforthem.”可知,歐維已經(jīng)讓他自己融入社會中。7.C主旨大意題。根據(jù)第四段可知,這一段主要講述歐維的許多奇怪行為的原因。8.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段和第二段可知,這篇文章是電影評論。Ⅱ.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了關于左撇子的一些有趣的事情。1.E根據(jù)上文可知,研究發(fā)現(xiàn)左撇子更獨立,瀏覽下文可知接下來文章主要講的是左撇子的一些有趣的事情,全文是總—分的結構,由此推知,空處承上啟下。E項“Hereareafewmorefascinatingleft-handedpeoplefacts!”承接上文,引出下文,符合上下文語境。2.G根據(jù)本段標題“Morelikelytohaveallergiesandsleepdisorders”可知,本段主要講的是左撇子更容易過敏和有睡眠障礙。根據(jù)空前“Astudyfoundthatleft-handedpeoplewere11timesmorelikelytosufferfromallergiesthanright-handedfolk.”可知,此處講的是左撇子更容易患過敏癥,所以可以推斷接下來應該講的是睡眠障礙問題。G項“Andleftiesweretwoandahalftimesmorelikelytosufferfromsleepdisorders.”指出了左撇子更容易患有睡眠障礙,符合上下文語境。3.C根據(jù)本段小標題“Left-handedpeopleusetherightsideofthebrainthemost”可知,本段主要講的是左撇子更多地使用右腦。根據(jù)空后“meaningthattherightsidecontrolstheleftsideofthebodyandtheotherwayaround”可知此處是在對左右腦的交叉控制這一事實進行解釋,所以空處應該指出大腦是交叉控制的這一事實。C項“Asweknow,thebrainiscross-wired,”符合上下文語境。4.D根據(jù)本段小標題“Areleft-handedpeoplesmarter?”可知,本段主要圍繞著左撇子是不是更聰明來展開。根據(jù)空后內(nèi)容可知,關于左撇子的智商問題,不同日期的研究結果是不一樣的。空處位于段首,應是對全段的概括,所以空處應該講關于左撇子是不是更聰明這個問題的答案與消息來源的日期有關。D項“Thisonevariesdependingonhowdatedyoursourceis!”既回答了小標題的提問,同時也概括了全段,而且D項中的Thisone指代小標題的問題,符合上下文語境。5.A根據(jù)本部分內(nèi)容可知,左撇子在解決問題時更傾向于整體解決問題。空處為本段小標題,所以空處應該講的是左撇子的另外一個有趣的事實——更善于把問題看作一個整體來解決。A項“Betteratmultitasking”指出左撇子善于處理多項任務,符合上下文語境。故選A項。Ⅲ.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了中國文化中的石獅。1.which考查關系代詞。句中先行詞
