  14. Free Talk Do you know anything about the four festivals?

  15. The Water Festival is the New Year's celebrations that take place in Southeast Asian countries such as Burma, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand as well as Yunnan, China. It is called the “Water Festival” by Westerners because people splash / pour water at one another as part of the cleansing ritual (仪式) to welcome the new year. The act of pouring water is also a show of blessings and good wishes. It is believed that on this Water Festival, everything old must be thrown away, or it will bring the owner bad luck.

  16. The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by eating zong zi and racing dragon boats. The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes. This Regatta (赛舟会) is given honour to the memory of the death of Qu Yuan.

  17. The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back. The Spring Festival originated in the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600 BC-c. 1100 BC) from the people's sacrifice (献祭) to gods and ancestors at the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one.

  18. The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance. This day's important activity is watching lanterns. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. “Guessing lantern riddles” is an essential part of the Festival.

  31. I wonder ..., I don't know ... 这两个短语都可译成“不知道”。其区别是： I wonder ...作“不知道”解时, 其中含有“想知道”的意思; I don't know只是用来陈述对某事“不知道”这一事实。例如: I wonder what you call this. 不知道你们把这个叫做什么。 --- Do you know what they call this? 你知道他们把这个叫做什么吗? --- I don't know. 我不知道。

  32. 知识拓展 wonder n. 惊奇；惊愕；奇迹 There was a look of wonder in his eyes. 他眼中露出惊奇的神色。 They were filled with wonder at the new waterfall. 他们对新瀑布感到非常惊奇。 It's a wonder that the child came through without a scratch. 这孩子竟能安然无恙地脱险，真是奇迹。

  34. D I wonder _____ he will come before 9:00 p.m.. A. whatB. thatC. whenD. if 【解析】主句“I wonder”(我想知道)带有疑问色彩，因此，答案不能选不带疑问意思的关联词that。又由于后半句宾语从句对时间已有所交代，而且用的come是不及物动词，不用跟宾语。故答案选if (是否) 。

  35. C 【 2013 福建漳州 】 They wonder _____ robots will make humans lose their jobs or not. A. that B. if C. whether

  36. 2. Guess what? 意思是 “你知道吗？”、“想不到吧”、 “你猜怎么着?” 。这个句子是要告诉人家某件事之前常用的口语。说话者并无意要对方真的去猜，听者也不会真的去伤脑筋。通常对于该句型都是以What?回答。 Guess what? I got through the exam. 你猜怎么了? 我考试过关了。

  37. A: Guess what! 　　你猜猜看！ B: What? 　　什么？ A: I am going to the mountains with my family this weekend. 　　这个周末我和我家人要去山上。 B: That sounds like fun. 　　听起来很有趣。

  38. 3. I’m going to Chiang Mai in two weeks. 根据语境，in two weeks在这句话里的意思是 “两周之后” 。 He'll be back in two weeks. 他两周后回来。 “in+ 一段时间”和将来时连用，表示“在某段时间之后”。

  39. D (2010 河北省卷) This term _______ over. The summer vacation is coming in two weeks. A. is B. was C. has been D. will be 【解析】句义为“这学期即将结束，暑假在两星期之后就要到来。” ，故选择D。
