答案与解析【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了二十四节气中的第三个节气——惊蛰。56.falls考查时态和主谓一致。句意:2019年的惊蛰开始于3月6日。本句中缺少谓语动词,结合主语AwakeningofInsects可知,谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式,由于本篇文章是用一般现在时进行的客观介绍,故此处也用一般现在时。57.third考查序数词。句意:作为农历年中的第三个节气……。根据句意及句中的定冠词the可知,这里表示“第三个节气”,故用序数词。58.its考查代词。name为名词,需要形容词性物主代词修饰。59.by考查介词。beawakenedby表示“被……所惊醒”,为固定搭配形式。60.activities考查名词。句意:这是春耕的关键时间。activity为可数名词,由于前面没有冠词修饰,故这里只能用复数形式。61.Driving考查
