【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了农历二月二时中国的传统风俗。

1．which 考查定语从句。分析该句结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为“Dragon Heads-raising Day”，空处在从句中作主语，故用which引导该定语从句。

2．raising 考查非谓语动词。该句主语“The dragon”和动词raise为逻辑上的主谓关系，此处作伴随状语，故用其现在分词形式。

3．their 考查代词。空处修饰后面的名词“heads”，故用形容词性物主代词their，表示“他们的头”。

4．is bursting 考查动词的时态。根据常识并结合语境可知，大概就是这个时候，大地生机勃勃。此处考查固定用法be bursting with sth.，表示“充满某物”；且该句主语为“the earth”，为第三人称单数，且此处叙述的为客观情况，故谓语动词用is。故填is bursting。

5．would pray/prayed 考查动词的时态。该处可以看成在古代人们在二月二将要做的动作，故用过去将来时；根据该句的时间状语“In ancient China”可知，该处陈述的是发

生在中国古代的事情，故也可用一般过去时。

6．Traditionally 考查副词。空处修饰整个句子，故用其副词形式。

7．foods 考查名词的数。根据该句中的“include dragon's scales, popcorn and pig's heads”可知，这一天人们吃多种食物，且谓语动词“include”为复数，故空处用food 的复数形式。

8．cut 考查固定句式。分析该句结构可知，get sth. done ，表示“使某事被做”。

9．the 考查冠词。根据语境可知，该处特指“河北的乡下”，故用定冠词the 。

10．that 考查主语从句。分析该句结构可知，该句中的“It”为形式主语，真正主语是空处引导的主语从句；且该从句为陈述句，故用that 引导该主语从句。

Ⅳ.短文改错

Last term our class hold ①held a meaningful activity which required us to form the ②a

good habit in 100 days. I paired up with my deskmate. First, we discussed what habit that we should develop. All ④Both

of us agreed to read for half an hour each day. Then we

100 days. How proudly ⑨proud

we were! More importantly, due to the activity, reading books

have ⑩has

become an essential part of our life.

①hold 改为held 。考查动词的时态。根据时间状语“Last term”可知，此处叙述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。

②the 改为a 。考查冠词。此处表示“养成一个好习惯”，表泛指，且good 的发音以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a 。

③删除habit 后的that 。考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知，discussed 后的宾语从句的引导词为what ，且“what habit”在从句中作宾语，故that 多余，应删除。

④All 改为Both 。考查代词。根据上文提到的“I paired up with my deskmate”可知，此处表示我们俩，故把All 改为Both 。

⑤interested 后加in 。考查介词。be interested in 意为“对……感兴趣”，为固定搭配。

⑥reading 改为read 。考查固定用法。spare sth.to do sth.意为“抽出……做某事”，

为固定用法。

⑦Beside改为Besides。考查副词。根据语境可知，此处应用Besides此处表示“而且”。beside“在旁边”为介词。

⑧idea改为ideas。考查名词的数。idea此处意为“看法，意见”，为可数名词，且此处表示交换观点，根据常识可知，此处表示不止一种观点，故要用名词的复数形式。

⑨proudly改为proud。考查形容词。此处考查感叹句固定句型“How＋形容词/副词＋主语＋谓语！”。又谓语为be动词were，故此处用形容词形式。

⑩have改为has。考查主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，此处为动名词短语“reading books”作主语，故谓语动词要用单数形式。
