四、书面表达假设你是育才中学学生会主席李华。你校将举办一次英语演讲比赛(speechcontest),希望附近某大学的外籍教师史密斯女士(MsSmith)来做评委。请参照以下通知给她写一封信。英语演讲比赛主题:人与自然时间:6月15日下午2:00～5:00地点:501教室参赛选手:10名学生联系人:李华(电话44876655)欢迎大家光临词数:80个左右。核心要点提示①Iamwritingtoinviteyou...②Itwillstartat...③Tenstudentswilldeliver...④Wehopethatyouwill...DearMsSmith,_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Sincerelyyours,LiHua一、单词拼写1.ment(s)6.production7.reduce8.pests二、阅读理解1.C推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，法国传统美食受到冲击，人们只是偶尔在重大节日才去享用传统美食，并不是每一天。故选C项。2.A词义猜测题。由后文中的“...peoplearespendingfivehoursadaygoingto12differentmarketstogettheirfood.”可知，此处应是指部分人认为法国传统烹饪比较繁琐。故此处performance指“麻烦”。故选A项。3.D推理判断题。由本段中的“InItaly,asinFrance”，再结合第一段中的“FoodinFranceisstillprimarilyaboutpleasure”和最后一段中的“FoodinItalyislove,nutritionandpleasure”可知，作者比较这两种食物的目的是找出二者的共同点，阐明主旨，故选D项。4.B主旨大意题。由文中的“FoodinFranceisstillprimarilyaboutpleasure”，“Cookingandeatingarebothpastimes(消遣)andpleasure.”以及“FoodinItalyislove,nutritionandpleasure”可知答案。三、语法填空1.agricultural。考查形容词。分析句子可知,此处应用形容词修饰名词festival,故填agricultural。2.havebeengathered/aregathered。考查时态和语态。句意:这个重要的农业节日发生在庄稼(已经)被收割后。分析句子可知,空格是时间状语从句的谓语动词,结合语境判断应为一般现在时或者现在完成时,主语crops和gather之间是被动关系,故用一般现在时的被动语态或者现在完成时的被动语态,主语是复数,故填havebeengathered/aregathered。3.for。考查介词。此处考查固定短语,begratefulfor“对……感激”。4.tocelebrate。考查非谓语动词。句意:现在,在欧洲的国家,人们用花和水果来装饰教堂和市政厅,然后聚在一起通过吃饭来庆祝。根据句意和句子结构可知,此处应用不定式表目的。5.pollution。考查名词。分析句子可知,此处应用名词作为avoid的宾语,airpollution“空气污染”,故填pollution。6.the。考查冠词。句意:为了避开空气污染,很多大城市已经放弃了这种在中国的典型节日——春节,燃放烟花爆竹来赶走恶灵的习俗。根据句意可知,此处特指“燃放烟花爆竹来赶走恶灵的习俗”,应用定冠词表示特指。7.taking。考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此处应用非谓语动词作宾语补足语,逻辑主语business和动词短语takeadvantageof之间是主动关系,应用现在分词。8.easier。考查形容词比较级。分析句子可知,此处应用形容词作宾语补足语,由much和下文的more判断用比较级。9.While/Though/Although。考查连词。句意:尽管一些人认为节日不应该商业化,但其他人认为在开支方面的增长对经济和公众幸福感都有好处。根据句意和句子结构可知,此处用连词while/though/although“尽管”符合语境,故填While/Though/Although。10.is
