人与自我重回家庭记叙文353 8分钟
More than 25 years ago, Saroo Brierley lived in rural(农村)India.One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep.When he woke up and found himself alone, the 4-year-old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front of him—so he got on.
That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city.He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage(孤儿院).There, he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.
As he writes in his new book,A Long Way Home, Brierley couldn’t help but wonder about his hometown back in India.He remembered landmarks, but since he didn’t know his town’s name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country proved to be impossible.
Then he found a digital mapping program.He spent years searching for his hometown in the program’s satellite pictures.In 2011, he came across something familiar.He studied it and realized he was looking at a town’s central business district from a bird’s-eye view.He thought,“On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station”—and there i t was.“And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain”—and there it was.Everything just started to match. When he stood in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing in the entrance.“There’s something about me, ” he tho ught—and it took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.
In an interview Brierley says, “My mother looked so much shorter than I remembered.But she came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, and my feelings and tears and the chemical in my brain, you know, it was like a nuclear
fusion(核聚变).I just didn’t know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true.And here I am, standing in front of her.”

【语篇概述】本文介绍了中国许多地区在春节期间用橘树、竹子和梅花枝条装饰家居的传统风俗以及它们的寓意。

1.【解析】celebration。

考查词性转换。

根据空前面的不定冠词a可知此处需要名词,空后面的现在分词短语作定语修饰名词celebration。

2.【解析】carries。

考查主谓一致和时态。

此处why引导表语从句,表语从句中主语是decorating with plants, fruits and flowers,填空处作谓语。

因为文章介绍的是中国现在仍然流行的一种习俗,所以用一般现在时。

单个的动词-ing形式作主语,谓语动词用单数,所以填carries。

3.【解析】coming。

考查非谓语动词。

the earth和come之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,所以填coming。

4.【解析】than。

考查固定搭配。

more than在此处表示“不仅仅”。

句意:橘树不仅仅是
装饰;它们是好运和财富的象征。

5.【解析】decorated。

考查非谓语动词。

此处是“see+宾语+宾语补足语”结构。

them作see的宾语,指代橘树,和decorate之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词decorated作宾语补足语。

6.【解析】Certainly。

考查词性转换。

此处副词位于句首修饰整个句子。

7.【解析】with。

考查介词。

be associated with是固定搭配,表示“和……有联系”。

8.【解析】to care。

考查非谓语动词。

“主语(具体的人或物)+be+形容词+动词不定式”是一个固定句型,表示主语的特征,其中动词不定式只能用主动形式。

此句型可以转换成it(形式主语)+be+形容词+动词不定式。

9.【解析】beautiful。

考查词性转换。

此处需要形容词和long并列修饰后面的名词branches。

10.【解析】the。

考查冠词。

the first第一个人或事物。

此处指梅树是第一个开花的。

文化知识包含中外文化知识,是学生在语言学习活动中理解文化内涵,比较文化异同,汲取文化精华,坚定文化自信的基础。

掌握充分的中外多元文化知识,认同优秀文化,有助于促进英语学科核心素养的形成和发展。

春节蕴含着深邃的文化内涵,在传承发展中承载了丰厚的历史文化底蕴,凝聚着中华传统文化精华。

They make great gifts and you see them many times decorated with red envelopes and messages of good fortune.
分析:本句是and连接的并列句。

在第二个分句中,them指代orange trees,decorated是过去分词作宾语补足语,宾语them和宾语补足语之间是被动关系。

翻译:它们是很好的礼物,你会经常看到它们装饰着红包和祝福的话语。
