【语篇导读导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了汉字“家”的构成及其文化内涵。
1. B 提示:此处表示象形文字“家”的宝盖头看起来像房子的屋顶。look like意为“看起来像”。
2. C 提示:character意为“字符”;word意为“单词”;roof意为“屋顶”;picture意为“图画”。句意:屋顶下有着一只猪的“家”字可能体现了家畜对中国传统家庭的重要性。
3. D 提示:right意为“正确的”;wrong意为“错误的”;weak意为“虚弱的”;strong意为“强烈的,深厚的”。下文提到父亲通常对孩子严格要求,父母努力工作为孩子树立好榜样,孩子努力学习,兄弟姐妹友好互助,说明家庭成员之间感情深厚。
4. B 提示:seldom意为“很少”;usually意为“通常”;never意为“从不”;hardly意为“几乎不”。句意:父亲们通常对孩子们严格要求。
5. A 提示:example意为“例子;榜样”;habit意为“习惯”;way意为“方式”;advise意为“建议”,是动词。此处表示父母努力工作为孩子树立好榜样。set a good example意为“树立好榜样”。
6. A 提示:helpful意为“有帮助的”;useful意为“有用的”;strict意为“严格的”;distant意为“遥远的”。此处是and连接的并列结构,空处应与其前的friendly词性一致、词义相近。因此此处指兄弟姐妹友好互助。
7. D 提示:下文提到祖先将永远是我们生活中的一部分,是温暖的记忆,这说明祖先在我们的生活中扮演着重要角色。
8. B 提示:forget意为“忘记”;remember意为“记得”;know意为“知道”;tell意为“告诉”。句意:我们缅怀祖先,并非为了给自己谋取好处,而是为了让我们的情感更加积极。
9. C 提示:upside意为“上面”;outside意为“外面”;inside意为“在……里面”;downside意为“缺点”。句意:每当想起他们,我们的内心就会变得更加强大。
10. A 提示:because意为“因为”,一般前面为结果,后面为原因;so意为“所以”,一般前面为原因,后面为结果;so that意为“以便”;because of意为“因为”,后通常接名词、代词或名词短语,不接句子。根据语境可知,正是因为每个家庭都和睦美满,中国才变得越来越好。前后句之间是因果关系,前果后因,故用because。
