7、 new year with luck and happiness.The world is large but different. People of all nations may celebrate New Years Day much differently, but a lot of general themes are to be seen.

8、 all want to be happier, find love, renew friendships, increase our wealth and also hope for a little extra luck in the coming new year.【语篇解读】本文主要叙述了丹麦、墨西哥、菲律宾、厄瓜多尔这四个国家庆祝新年的方式。但不论以哪种方式庆祝新年，人们都是期盼一个更美好、更幸福的来年。1People generally celebrate New Years Day in the following ways except Asharing the time wi

9、th their family Bgetting together with their friendsCparticipating in the ball drop Dspending the time with their loversC细节理解题。根据首段“you probably celebrate New Years Day together with your family and friends, enjoying drinks and watching the ball drop.”可知，你可能会和家人、朋友喝饮料并观看ball watch一起庆祝新年，而不是参与(partic

10、ipate in)the ball drop，故选C项。根据“If youre lucky, perhaps you share a kiss with that special one when the clock hits 00：00am”可知，与爱人一起度过时间也是庆祝新年的方式之一。2Which of the following cant describe the 4 unique New Year traditions properly?AThe more broken plates, glasses, cups you have at your door, the more goo

11、d friends you have according to Danish New Year tradition.BBy paying $15 in Taos Inn, Mexicans can communicate with the souls of their dead loved ones.CWearing polka dots can help people in Philippines to gain wealth.DPeople from Ecuador make and burn scarecrows to win good luck and happiness.B细节理解题

12、。由第三段“Taos Inn, in New Mexico for example, offers 15 minutes session of spiritualism and deep thought for $15.”可知，在Taos旅店人们并不是真的可以与已故的至爱之人的亡灵交流，故B项叙述不恰当。由第二段“The family with the tallest tower of broken plates, glasses, cups and other crockery is considered to be the luckiest person because it symbol

13、izes their large crowd of loyal friends.”可知，在丹麦，谁家门口摔碎的盘子、杯子等越多，谁的朋友就越多，故A项叙述准确。由第四段内容可知，菲律宾人认为穿着圆点图案的衣服会给他们带来财富，故C项符合原文意思。根据第五段内容可知，在厄瓜多尔，人们会制作并焚烧稻草人以求带来好运和幸福，故D项内容与原文意思吻合。3. What can you infer from the last paragraph?ANo matter how we celebrate New Year, increasing our wealth is very important.BTh

14、e traditions will be changed with the time going by.CWe seldom experience different traditions to celebrate New Year.DCelebrating New Years Day means looking forward to a happier and better coming year.D推理判断题。由最后一段“We all want to start a new, fresh year with renewed enthusiasm and hope no matter wha

15、t happened during the past year. We all want to be happier, find love, renew friendships, increase our wealth and also hope for a little extra luck in the coming new year.”可知，尽管人们庆祝新年的方式不同，但都期盼来年更幸福、更美好，故选D项。BPhilo Farnsworth is not_a name most people know. But his work changed the way we learn，the

16、way we live，and even the way we think. Philo Farnsworth is responsible for one of the 20th century：television.Philo Farnsworth was born in America in 1906.He was interested in science and technology at an early age.

17、hine. When he was fourteen, he was already giving a lot of thought to electrons(电子). As he was driving the familys horsedrawn plowing machine, he noticed the evenly spaced rows of the potato fields.

18、 the key to electronic television.By the time he was twentyone years old, Farnsworth had started his own company and had managed to build the worlds first electronic television. It was a very simple device (设备). But after years of hard work，Farnsworth was able to introduce the kind of television we

19、now use.Farnsworth was a great inventor，but lived an unhappy life. He had a legal battle with the company, Radio Corporation of America(RCA) over who the real inventor of the TV was.He won the case，but the government stopped companies from making TVs during the war, so Farnsworth didnt make much mon

20、ey from the invention.When Farnsworth was young, he imagined television as a convenient way for distant audiences to enjoy lectures by famous professors, or entertainment by the best symphonies (交响乐) and ballets.When he was older, television became much more popular, but he was very disappointed in

21、the silly programs on TV.

24、levision becameD段落大意题。根据最后一段倒数第二句中的“he was very disappointed in the silly programs on TV”可知，电视节目后来的发展与Farnsworth最初的设想背道而驰，再由他说的“Theres nothing on it worthwhile”可知，他不喜欢后来电视变成的样子。7What is the best title for the text?AHow Did Philo Farnsworth Invent Television?BWhat Caused Philo Farnsworth to Invent Te

25、levision?CPhilo Farnsworth: the Unhappy Father of TelevisionDPhilo Farnsworth：a Wellknown Scientist and InventorC标题归纳题。本文旨在介绍电视机的真正发明者Philo Farnsworth，再由倒数第二段第一句中的“but lived an unhappy life”可知，C项作标题符合文意。CAlibaba started taking the lead in China by connecting big Chinese manufacturers(制造商) with big b
