【分析】
做这类六选五任务型阅读时,首先要先通读全文,明确本文核心是介绍我国云南佤族的木鼓节,再逐空分析上下文的逻辑关联,匹配对应选项:
1. 第一空位于段首引入部分,前文刚点明木鼓节的基本属性,需要一个能总起引出后文对木鼓、节日活动介绍的句子;
2. 第二空后文紧接着给出木鼓的长宽尺寸,前文提到木鼓承载文化意义,中间需要补充介绍木鼓本身属性的内容;
3. 第三空后文直接描述人们围圈随鼓点跳舞的场景,需要先交代节日里人们聚集活动的前提场景;
4. 第四空前文提到跳舞时会演唱记录佤族历史生活的歌曲,后文说明活动能助力文化传承,需要一个承上启下的过渡句;
5. 第五空前文提到过去节日的庆祝时间,后文提到“这个改变”能让更多人了解佤族文化,需要补充和日期改动相关的内容。
【解析】
1. 第一空:前文引出木鼓节的基本定义,后文分别展开介绍木鼓的文化内涵、节日特色活动,C选项“这个节日展现他们的历史、传统,以及丰富的文化”起到总领下文的作用,符合语境。
2. 第二空:后文直接给出木鼓宽0.8米、长2米的尺寸参数,B选项“这些鼓通常由红木制成”是介绍木鼓的制作材质,和后文的参数介绍共同完成对木鼓基本属性的说明,衔接自然。
3. 第三空:后文描述人们围成圈跟随鼓点跳舞的画面,E选项“节日期间人们聚集到鼓屋周围”交代了节日活动的场景前提,顺理成章引出后续的跳舞活动。
4. 第四空:前文提到人们跳舞时会演唱记录佤族历史和日常生活的歌曲,后文说明该活动也能助力文化传承,A选项“所以舞蹈不只是为了玩乐”承上启下,既承接前文的跳舞行为,又引出后文的文化价值,逻辑连贯。
5. 第五空:前文提及过去佤族在佤历的“灰月”庆祝节日,后文提到这一改动让更多人了解佤族文化,F选项“但自2002年起,他们已经把日期改为4月10日至12日”完全对应前后文“旧日期”和“改动”的描述,转折逻辑通顺。
【答案】

语篇逻辑衔接,任务型阅读,民族文化常识
【点评】
本题以我国佤族特色传统节日为载体,既考察学生对英语语篇上下文逻辑关系的把握能力,也渗透了中华优秀传统文化的相关内容,解题时可以借助前后文的提示词快速定位,比如第5空后文的change直接对应F选项里的changed,整体线索清晰,难度适中。
