【分析】
这是一篇介绍端午节特色传统的说明文,属于七选五阅读题型,解题思路如下:1. 先通读全文,梳理出文章总分的行文结构:开头总述端午节有诸多不同习俗,后文分三个板块分别介绍赛龙舟、吃粽子、系五彩绳三个具体传统;2. 逐个分析每个空白处的上下文逻辑,判断空白处的功能:是承上启下句、段落主题句还是细节衔接句,通过前后文的关键词呼应匹配对应选项;3. 最后验证多余选项是否完全不符合语境,排除干扰项。
【解析】
1. 空1:前文提到“不同地区有很多不同的传统”,后文马上开始逐一介绍三个具体的端午传统,B选项“Here are some of them(下面就是其中一些传统)”起到承上启下的作用,完美衔接前后文逻辑。
2. 空2:本段主题是赛龙舟,后文提到“获胜的队伍来年将拥有好运和幸福生活”,D选项“Each racing team tries their best to win(每支参赛队伍都尽全力争取获胜)”和后文的“winning team”形成明确的逻辑呼应,衔接自然。
3. 空3:本空是对应段落的小标题,整段内容都围绕端午节特色食物粽子展开,A选项“Eating rice dumplings(吃粽子)”精准概括本段核心内容,作为小标题匹配度最高。
4. 空4:前文介绍了粽子用大米搭配肉类、花生等不同馅料、用竹叶包裹的制作方式,后文提到“它们非常美味”,C选项“You can eat different kinds of rice dumplings(你可以吃到不同种类的粽子)”承接前文不同馅料的设定,引出后文对味道的夸赞,逻辑通顺。
5. 空5:前文提到父母会把五彩绳系在孩子的脖子或身体其他部位,G选项“They believe it can protect their children(他们相信它可以保护自己的孩子)”解释了父母给孩子系五彩绳的原因,和后文佩戴的相关规则呼应,符合语境。
多余选项说明:F选项提及中国南北方庆祝端午的差异,和后文介绍通用端午传统的内容不匹配;E选项提到孩子喜欢佩戴彩绳,本段后文介绍的是系五彩绳的禁忌规则,没有涉及孩子对彩绳的喜好,两项均为干扰项。
