(the adult seedspitting world record, set in 1989, is 68 feet 91/8 inches.) “its fun to come out and compete every year. its just a really competitive spirit that all the families have，” said a. j， who has won the seedspitting contest about 10 times.the camachos have no plans to give up their competitive spitting anytime soon. “even if i dont live in texas，” said davis camacho, 20, a fivetime winner. “ill make the yearly journey to luling.”【文章大意】本文是一则新闻报道。美国德州的luling小镇每年举办一次西瓜节，该节日的最特别之处在于其吐西瓜籽比赛。4what does the underlined word “swelled” in paragraph 3 mean?aincreased.bdoubled.crecovered. ddropped.解析：a词义猜测题。根据划线词前后句的对比：only about 5,500 people live in luling和tens of thousands of people come可知，自1954年开始，luling小镇的人口在六月最后的那个周末不断增加。而根据该段的内容可知，小镇的常住人口仅有5500人，因为当地举办的西瓜节吸引来自世界各地的游客，因此人口在节日期间急剧上涨，increase“增加”，double“加倍”，recover“恢复”，drop“下降”，所以小镇的人口实际上并没有恢复到以前什么状态。5whats the rule for the group competition?aeveryone gets two spits.bthe best four spits are recorded.ceach team member can spit only once.dparticipants are divided into four age groups.解析：c细节理解题。根据第五段中的for the team

texas和ill make the yearly journey to luling可知，吐西瓜籽比赛一年举行一次。这里需要注意d项，尽管文章第三段提到tens of thousands of people come from all around to attend the fourday festival，但是根据第六段中的about 200 people watch可知，该比赛的观众只有几百号人，并没有数以万计那么多。cmany people in the world might think that being educated is somewhat not important. however, knowledge is just the basic thing you can get from education. of course,
