分析:本句是主从复合句。thatanumberofpopulartraditionsassociatedwiththefestivalalreadyexistedevenbeforeQuYuanandtheyhavegoneontosuggestmanyotheroriginsofthefestival是pointedout的宾语从句。宾语从句是and连接的并列句。前一个并列句中含有associatedwiththefestival是动词过去分词短语作traditions的后置定语。翻译:然而,学者和历史学家指出,许多与这个节日有关的流行传统早在屈原之前就已经存在了,他们进一步指出了这个节日的许多其他起源。B(2021·青岛模拟)OfficerMichaelRivers,apolicemanwhowassnappedandtheimagesharedonFacebook,ashesatsharinghislunchwithahomelesswomanatthesideoftheroadinNorthCarolina,intheUSA,ispraised.AccordingtoChrisBarnes,hiswifeCassietookthephotowhileshewasonherlunchbreak.Shesawthepairsharingapizzaandsoftdrinkwhiletheywerehavingafriendlychat.MrBarnesuploadedtheimagewiththenotes:“Cassiewasoutonherlunchbreakandobservedtheofficerenjoyinglunchwithahomelessperson.”OfficerRiversrecalledseeingthewomanearlierthatday.HetoldYahooNews:“IwasleavingtheparkinglotofWalmartandshewasstandingbythestopsign.Hershirtread,‘Homelessthefastestwayofbecominganobody.’Ihatedthatshefeltthatway.”Headded,“Ialwaystrytotalktothehomelessjusttoseehowtheygotintotheirsituation.Youknow,becauseitcanhappentoanyoneofus,atanygivenmoment.”Afterhedroveaway,hecircledbacktoaskifthewomanwashungryandifshewantedfood.Theofficersaidshewashonoredbyhisoffer.HeboughtthembothpizzaandMountainDewandwhenthepairsatdowntoeat,helearnedofherfamilystrugglesandtoldher:“Hey,youstillgotstufftolivefor,youstillgotyourlifeaheadofyou.It’snevertoolate.”OfficerRivers,whodoesrecruitingfortheGoldsboroPD,hopestosenda\nmessageofsympathyforothers.Headded:“Whentheyoungerornewerguyscomein,Iletthemknow,‘Hey,treatingthecommunitylikehumanbeingsisthemostimportantthingintheworld.’”“So,ifweaspoliceofficersshowthatloveandsympathytoeverybody,nomattertheirage,financialbackgroundorrace,theworldwouldbeabetterplace.”【文章大意】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了美国北卡罗来纳州警官MichaelRivers坐在路边与一名无家可归的妇女分享午餐的照片被拍到了脸书上,并受到了好评。文章主要为Rivers警官讲述了这件事情的经过,以及他想要向他的新同事传达警察应该有同情心和爱心的想法。4.WhydidChrisBarnessharethephotoonFacebook?A.Becauseitwastakenbyhiswife.B.Becausetheofficerwashisfriend.C.Becausetheofficerwashandsome.D.Becausehewasimpressedbytheofficer’saction.【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知据ChrisBarnes说,这张照片是他妻子Cassie在午休时拍的。她看到他们一边友好地聊天,一边分享披萨和饮料。Barnes先生上传了这张照片,并附上说明:“Cassie出去吃午饭,发现这名警官正在和一个无家可归的人共进午餐。”由此可推知,ChrisBarnes会在脸书上分享这张照片,是因为他对警官的行为印象深刻。故选D。5.Whydidtheofficercomebackforthehomelesswoman?A.Becausesheaskedhimforfood.B.Becausehersituationwasserious.C.Becausehewantedtomakeadifferencetoher.D.Becausehewantedtobecomeaninternetcelebrity.【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第三段中HetoldYahooNews的内容以及第四段中HeboughtthembothpizzaandMountainDewandwhenthepairsatdowntoeat,helearnedofherfamilystrugglesandtoldher:“Hey,youstillgotstufftolivefor,youstillgotyourlifeaheadofyou.It’snevertoolate.”可知他给他们买了披萨和山露汽水,当他们坐下来吃饭时,他知道了她的家庭的状况,并告诉她:“嘿,你仍然有生活的理由,\n在前面你仍然有你的生活。永远不会太迟。”由此可推知,警察回来找那个无家可归的女人,是因为他想对她有所影响。故选C。6.Whatdoestheofficerwanttopassontohisnewcolleagues?A.Anyonecanbecomehomelessatanygivenmoment.B.Policemenshouldbesympatheticandcaring.C.Policemenshouldbecomeheroes.D.Peopleshouldlearntodrawothers’attention.【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中OfficerRivers,whodoesrecruitingfortheGoldsboroPD,hopestosendamessageofsympathyforothers.为戈尔兹伯勒警察局招募人员的Rivers警官希望向其他人传达同情的信息。以及最后一段“So,ifweaspoliceofficersshowthatloveandsympathytoeverybody,nomattertheirage,financialbackgroundorrace,theworldwouldbeabetterplace.”可知,这位警官想向他的新同事传达警察应该有同情心和爱心的想法。故选B。7.Whatdoesthetextmainlytalkabout?A.Apolicemanseensharinglunchwithahomelesswoman.B.Howpolicemenhelpthehomeless.C.Aluckyhomelesswoman.D.Howtobecomeagoodmodelforpolicemen.【解析】选A。主旨大意题。主要讲述了美国北卡罗来纳州警官MichaelRivers坐在路边与一名无家可归的妇女分享午餐的照片被拍到了脸书上,并受到了好评。结合文章主要为Rivers警官讲述了这件事情的经过,以及他想要向他的新同事传达警察应该有同情心和爱心的想法。由此可知,文章主要讲了一名警察与一名无家可归的女士共享午餐。故选A。【知识拓展】佳词积累①snap
