Dear Tom，

I’m more than happier that you’re interested in Chinese culture. Now let me tell you something about a Dragon Boat Festival.

It’s a traditional Chinese festival falling in the 5th day of the 5th month of the Chinese lunar calendar. It’s widely believed that the festival held in memory the great poet Qu Yuan，who lived in ancient times. Disappointed with the government，he drowned him in the Miluo River.

The festival is celebrated by boat racing, with the boats building in the shape of dragons. Competing teams row their boats forward to the drumbeat, race to reach the finishing end first. We also have the custom of eating zongzi, wrapped with bamboo leaf. It’s very popularly among Chinese people.

If you will want to know about other Chinese traditional festivals, just write to me.

Yours,

Li Hua

Answer 1

【答案】1. happier—happy

2. a—the

3. in—on

4.在festival held 之間加 is

5. him—himself

6. building—built

7. race—racing

8. leaf—leaves

9. popularly—popular

10.去掉 will

【解析】第一處：happier—happy 考查形容詞。More than作副詞講時，意為“非常”，相當(dāng)于very，所以這里不是比較級，而用形容詞原級。

第二處：a—the 考查冠詞。表示中國傳統(tǒng)的節(jié)日時需用定冠詞the，表示特指。

第三處：in—on 考查介詞。表示在某一個月的某一天時需用介詞on。

第四處：在festival held 之間加 is 考查被動語態(tài)。Festival 與hold之間是被動關(guān)系，所以需用被動語態(tài)，故在festival和held之間加is。

第五處：him—himself 考查反身代詞。這里指的是屈原自己跳河自殺，所以是drown himself。

第六處：building—built 該句為定語從句，省略了that，boat與build之間是被動的關(guān)系，所以這里build需用過去分詞。

第七處：race—racing 考查動詞。這里的race與前句的competing是并列關(guān)系，所以這里race也需用現(xiàn)在分詞。

第八處：leaf—leaves 考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。這里的leaf不止一片，所以需用復(fù)數(shù)形式leaves。

第九處：popularly—popular 考查形容詞。Be popular流行的，受歡迎的，be動詞后用形容詞做表語，所以填popular。

第十處：去掉will 考查條件狀語從句。If引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句遵循主將從現(xiàn)的規(guī)則，所以這里從句需去掉will。
