D。Holidaysshouldmeethumanneedforcommunity.【答案】32。D33.A34。B35。D【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要是关于作者对于澳大利亚公共假日的一些看法，作者认为澳大利亚以“赛马日"为例的公共假日对民众有负面影响，助长了公众的坏习惯。作者认为假日应该满足人类对社会的需求，并举出了新加坡的例子来说明这一观点。【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Sportinitselfisaneventthatissharedbypeople.Itbridgesdifferencesandunitesusonaprimitivelevel-thecheersofthecrowd，thedesireforvictoryandthecreationofthecommunity.（体育本身就是一项由人们共同参与的活动。它在原始的层面上弥合了差异，群众的欢呼声、对胜利的渴望和共同体的建立将我们团结在一起）"以及第四段中“Bigbusinessesusethesedaystodevelopourbadhabits,suchaslargebetsandalcoho1。Asthesepublicholidaysrollaround,ourscreensarefilledwithadstellingustoplacebetswithmoney—backguarantees。(大企业利用这段时间来培养我们的坏习惯,比如大赌注和爱找麻烦。随着这些公共假日的临近，我们的屏幕上充斥着广告,告诉我们可以下注，保证退款)”可知,作者认为赛马日助长了澳大利亚人赌博和爱找麻烦的坏习惯，而体育节日本来应该是人们共同参与，将人们团结在一起的活动,所以作者不知道如何回答关于赛马节日的问题,是因为作者认为这样的节日很尴尬。故选D。【33题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“Asthesepublicholidaysrollaround，ourscreensarefilledwithadstellingustoplacebetswithmoney—backguarantees.（随着这些公共假日的临近,我们的屏幕上充斥着广告，告诉我们可以下注,保证退款)”可知,这些公共假期的广告宣传出现在人们的视线中，很难忽视.画线单词意思为“忽视”.A。Ignore。忽视;B.Ban.禁止；C。Seek.寻求；D。Understand.理解。故选A。【34题详解】细节理解题.根据第四段中“Bigbusinessesusethesedaystodevelopourbadhabits，suchaslargebetsandalcoho1.Asthesepublicholidaysrollaround，ourscreensarefilledwithadstellingustoplacebetswithmoney—backguarantees。(大企业利用这段时间来培养我们的坏习惯，比如大赌注和爱找麻烦.随着这些公共假日的临近，我们的屏幕上充斥着广告,告诉我们可以下注，保证退款）”可知,在作者看来，一些公共假期存在的问题是他们对公众有负面影响。故选B.【35题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Ireallybelievethatwecanhavepublicholidaysthatconsiderourhumanneedforcommunity.(我真的相信，我们可以考虑到人类对社会的需求来安排公共假期）”以及“Andhere’smycasestudy:Singapore。Singaporehasalonglistofpublicholidays，andthelistislongforaveryspecificreason—toacknowledgetheculturalholidaysofitsdiversepopulation.(这是我的案例研究：新加坡。新加坡有一长串的公共假日，而这一长串公共假日有一个非常具体的原因——是为了承认其多样化人口而存在的文化假日）”可推知，作者想以新加坡为例说明假日应该满足人类对社会的需求。故选D.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.Inrecentyears，ridingahot-airballoonhasbecomemoreandmorepopular.Manypeoplepracticeflyingahot—airballoonasasport。___36___Somepeoplemayquestionthesafetyofridingahot-airballoon。Generallyspeaking，hot—airballoonsarequitesafe。Beforeexaminingthesafetyofhot—airballoons,itmayhelptounderstandhowtheywork.Eachballoonhasalargebagcalledanenvelope,attachedtoabagorgondola(吊篮）.Inordertogetenoughlift，theairinthebagisheatedwiththeassistanceofaflame.Astheairheatsup，theballoonrises。___37___Likekites，hot—airballoonstravelwiththewind。Typically，pilotschoosetheearlymorninghourstoflysincewindspeedsarelow.___38___Meanwhile，theflightwillbecomemoreenjoyable.___39___Highwindsandextremeweathersuchasstormandsnowareverydangerous.Anexperiencedpilotwillnotflyintheseconditions。Goodpilotsalwayschecktheirequipmentbeforebeginningaflight，andtheyoftencarrybackupforsafetyeveninsunnydays.Ridinghot-airballoonscanbegreatfun,andit’sverysafeaslongaspassengersfollowthedirectionsofthepilot.___40___Peoplewhohaveafearofheightsmaywanttoskiptheexperience，however.A。Ofcourse，somepeopleenjoyitasarelaxingactivity。B。Lowwindspeedsmakeflyinghot—airballoonsmuchsafer。C。This，ofcourse,isforthosewholovetochallengethemselves。D。Therequirementsofflyingahot—airballoonvaryindifferentnations.E。Theweatheristhemostimportantconcerninthesafetyofhot—airballoons.F.Sometimesweather，suchaslightning,isthecauseofhot—airballoonaccidents。G.Whentheflightisover，thepilotslowlyletsoutairtoallowtheballoontodrop。【答案】36。A37.G38.B39.E40.C【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何让热气球飞行变得更安全。【36题详解】根据前一句“Manypeoplepracticeflyingahot-airballoonasasport.（许多人练习飞行热气球作为一项运动。）"可知，空处谈论的是人们喜欢乘热气球的原因；结合选项可知，选项A.Ofcourse,somepeopleenjoyitasarelaxingactivity.（当然,有些人喜欢把热气球作为一种放松的活动.）符合题意，此处it指代前文的flyingahot—airballoon。故选A。【37题详解】根据前一句“Astheairheatsup，theballoonrises.（当空气加热时,气球上升。）”可知,空处讲的是热气球的工作流程；根据选项可知，选项G。Whentheflightisover，thepilotslowlyletsoutairtoallowtheballoontodrop。（当飞行结束时，飞行员慢慢地释放空气，让气球下降。)承接前一句，符合题意。故选G。【38题详解】根据空前“Typically，pilotschoosetheearlymorninghourstoflysincewindspeedsarelow.（通常情况下，由于风速较低，飞行员会选择清晨飞行。）和空后“Meanwhile，theflightwillbecomemoreenjoyable。（同时，飞行也会变得更加愉快.）可知,空处谈论的是为何选择清晨飞行热气球的原因;根据选项可知，选项B.Lowwindspeedsmakeflyinghot-airballoonsmuchsafer.（低风速使得热气球飞行更加安全。）承上启下，符合题意。此处的Lowwindspeeds与上一句中的windspeedsarelow相对应，故选B.【39题详解】根据空后“Highwindsandextremeweathersuchasstormandsnowareverydangerous。(狂风和暴风雪等极端天气是非常危险的.）”可知，空处谈论的是天气状况对飞行热气球的影响；结合选项可知，选项E.Theweatheristhemostimportantconcerninthesafetyofhot-airballoons.（天气是热气球安全最重要的考虑因素。)符合题意,选项E能概括本段内容.故选E。【40题详解】根据前文“Ridinghot—airballoonscanbegreatfun，andit’sverysafeaslongaspassengersfollowthed
