三、【短文大意】来自不同国家的四个人在博客上分享了他们各自过生日的习俗。
1. F 【解析】根据设空后的“My mom's going to make me a huge plate of fairy bread.”和选项 F 中的“fairy bread”可知,此处所缺的句子是 F 项。
2. D 【解析】根据下文中的描述可推断,“我们”喜欢在人们生日的时候给他们惊喜,故所缺的句子是 D 项。
3. A 【解析】根据设空后的“我打算买很多面粉”可推断,设空处表示“我打算即刻去商店”,故所缺的句子是A项。
4. C 【解析】设空前提到女王给每位百岁老人写信,这与C项“这是一个令人非常开心的传统”相对应。
5. E 【解析】设空前的“make some ‘long life noodles’”和 E 项中的“eat them”相对应。
