Question

15．Everyone has heard of Groundhog Day （土撥鼠日）．（26）A．
         People in America think that the groundhog awakens from its winter's sleep on February 2^nd．The groundhog comes out of its hole．If the sun is shining，it will see its shadow．The shadow scares it．So it runs back into its hole．This means six more weeks of winter．If the day is cloudy，it will not see its shadow．Since it is not scared，it stays out of its hole．（27）C．These are the same things we say on Groundhog Day today．
         （28）B．They are known mainly to country people．City people just don't know how to look for them．City people think that a groundhog sitting by its hole may look like a root（根）．It could also be seen as a clod （塊） of earth．Or it may look like a broken fence-post（柵欄柱）．But a farmer sees groundhogs anywhere he looks．They'll be watching like guards．
         The groundhog is a native American．（29）F．It may also appear as far north as Alaska．It is hated by farmers．The groundhog eats a third of its weight in a day．What a big appetite（胃口）！It may eat about a half-ton of alfalfa（苜蓿） in a summer．So 10 groundhogs in a big field would eat five tons．
         Why do groundhogs eat so much？To prepare for winter．（30）E．This extra food is changed to fat．This fat is what they live on during their long winter's sleep．

A．It is an American holiday．
B．Groundhogs are strange animals．
C．This means that spring will soon come．
D．There are several ways to protect the groundhog．
E．In the fall，when there is a lot of food，they fill up．
F．It is found in most states east of the Rockies（落基山脈）．
G．While it is not one of your major holidays，it is one that children love．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要介紹了土撥鼠日，它是美國的一個節(jié)日．當土撥鼠不害怕時，它們就會呆在洞外，這就意味著春天快要到來了．而在秋天的時候，它們會吃很多食物，額外的食物會變成脂肪，而這種脂肪在它們漫長的冬眠里供給能量．

解答 ACBFE
26．A 聯(lián)系上文題．空前Everyone has heard of Groundhog Day （土撥鼠日）．譯為：每個人都聽說過土撥鼠日，這里選A（它是美國的一個節(jié)日．）與上下文一致．故選A．
27．C語境理解題．空前Since it is not scared，it stays out of its hole．的意思是：因為它不害怕，所以就會呆在洞外．所以這里選C（這就意味著春天會很快到來．）與上下文一致．故選C．
28．B銜接下文題．空后的意思是：主要是鄉(xiāng)村人熟悉它們．所以這里選B（土撥鼠是奇怪的動物．）與上下文一致．故選B．
29．F承上啟下題．空前The groundhog is a native American．句意：土撥鼠是本土美國動物．空后It may also appear as far north as Alaska．句意：它也可能出現(xiàn)在北部遠至阿拉斯加．所以這里選F（落基山脈東部大部分的州能找到土撥鼠．）與上下文一致．故選F．
30．E上下文銜接題．空前Why do groundhogs eat so much？To prepare for winter．句意：為什么土撥鼠吃這么多？準備過冬．空后This extra food is changed to fat．This fat is what they live on during their long winter's sleep．句意：額外的食物變成脂肪，這種脂肪在它們漫長的冬眠里供給能量．選項E：In the fall，when there is a lot of food，they fill up．在秋天的時候，有很多食物讓它們填補肚子．故選E．
