  1. Kwanzaa is a seven-day festival celebrating the culture and history of African Americans. (Reading)

  [考点] seven-day是“数词+单数名词”构成的复合形容词,用作前置定语,修饰名词festival.

  [考例] Many students signed up for the _______ race in the sports meeting to be held next week.(上海2003春)

  A. 800-metre-long

  B. 800-metres-long

  C. 800 metres length

  D. 800 metre length

  [点拨] 选A.这类复合形容词可以由“数词+单数名词+表示大小、长宽等的形容词”构成。其中, 数词、名词、形容词之间必须用连字符连接,而且名词要用单数。

  2. The week following Christmas Day,many African-American families get together to greet the new year and think about the past. (Reading)

  [考点] following Christmas Day是-ing形式短语在句中用作后置定语,修饰the week,相当于一个定语从句which/that follows Christmas Day.

  [考例] The flowers _______ sweet in the botanic garden attract the visitors to the beauty of nature.(上海2004)

  A. to smell B. smelling

  C. smelt D. to be smelt

  [点拨] 选B.smelling sweet为后置定语, 修饰the flowers, 相当于which/that smell sweet.flowers与smell之间为逻辑上的主谓关系。

  3. Kwanzaa was born in 1966, when people created a new festival so that African Americans would be able to celebrate their history and culture. (Reading)

  [考点] celebrate表示“庆祝(荣誉、节日或欢乐的庆典)”,可以是一天或一个事件。

  [考例] The three sisters decided to hold a family party to _____ their parents’silver wedding.(上海2004春)

  A. celebrate B. memorize

  C. congratulate D. welcome

  [点拨] 选A.句意为“三姐妹决定举办一个家庭晚会来庆祝父母的银婚”。memorize意为 “记住(某事物)”; congratulate意为“祝贺”,常用于congratulate sb. on sth.结构; welcome意为 “欢迎”,均不符合句意。

  4. We must do as much as we can to make our community better and more beautiful. (Reading)

  [考点] must在此意为“必须,应该、一定”,此时语气较强。

  [考例1] Children under 12 years of age in that country _______ be under adult supervision when in a public library. (上海2004)

  A. must B. may

  C. can D. need

  [点拨] 选A.句意为“在那个国家,12岁以下的儿童在公共图书馆一定要有成人监督”。从that country和under 12 years可以看出这是一个全国性的要求,所以应用must, 表示“必须, 一定要”。

  [考例2]

  —Who is the girl standing over there?

  —Well, if you ______ know, her name is Mabel. (天津2004)

  A. may B. can C. must D. shall

  [点拨] 选C.句意为 “——站在那儿的那个女孩是谁? ——嗯,如果你一定要知道的话,她叫梅布尔”。

  5. Creating a new festival may seem an unusual way to celebrate history and culture, but we are in fact all creating new festivals every year.(Reading)

  [考点] in fact的意思是“事实上,实际上”,是一个固定短语,同as a matter of fact.

  [考例] The winter of 1990 was extremely bad. ______ most people say it was the worst winter of their lives.(浙江2004)

  A. At last B. In fact

  C. In a word D. As a result

  [点拨] 选B.先说“1990年的冬天特别冷”,然后说“大多数人认为那个冬天是他们一生中最糟糕的天气”,语气进一步加强。at last意为“最后,终于”;in a word意为“总之”;as a result意为“结果”,均不符合句意。
