甘肃省定西市通渭县第二中学2017-2018学年度下学期期中考试高一英语答案eq\x(语篇解读：本文主要介绍了“地球日”是怎样诞生的。)解析：1C细节理解题。由第二段第一句可知GaylordNelson是一位参议员。解析：2D细节理解题。文章最后一句表明帮助地球保持清洁最好的方法就是“recycleonaregularbasis”。解析：3C正误判断题。文章中只提到在1970年庆祝时有两千万人参加，而不是每年都是这么多人。解析：4B标题归纳题。由全文可知，主要介绍“地球日”是如何诞生的。eq\x(语篇解读：本文介绍了保加利亚的两大重要节日。)解析：5D主旨大意题。第一段列举了保加利亚的节日，第二段和第三段分别介绍了两大节日风俗。解析：选C标题归纳题。根据文意，主要是介绍保加利亚的主要节日风俗。解析：选A细节理解题。根据短文可以推知，作者的主要目的是介绍保加利亚的节日风俗，即提供有关保加利亚文化的信息。解析8选B文章出处题。根据短文主题，本文应是刊载在涉及世界文化的书籍上。语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者和他的朋友策划的意大利之行。文章介绍了旅游前的准备工作，如自己如何取得签证，还有在意大利旅游时当地的住宿条件，以及自己策划意大利之旅的优点以及感受。解析：9A细节理解题。根据第二段“Thetripwasnotverylongbutitwasstillveryimpressive(印象深刻的).Welookforwardtogoingthereagain！”结合第四段的内容以及最后一段中的“TheonlythingI'llsayrightnowisthatwereallyenjoyedtravelingbyourselves.”可知，意大利之行他们玩得很尽兴，给他们留下了深刻的印象，所以想再去意大利，因此选A。解析：10细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“Themostdifficultpartwasgettingavisa(签证)withoutaninvitation.”可知，最难的事情是在没有邀请函的情况下向意大利大使馆申请签证，因此选择B。A、C、D虽然文中都涉及了，但是都不符合题干要求。解析：11细节理解题。根据第四段对旅馆周围环境、交通情况以及该旅馆的好处的介绍可知，作者在第四段主要讲对旅馆满意的原因。解析：12推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其是第一段说不想在旅游团的拥挤的人群中，也不想错过更多亲近意大利的机会，以及最后一段的“Don'tbeafraidtoarrangeyourtripbyyourself.”可以推断出应该选择C。其余选项没有依据。C篇解读：本文通过对两个家庭的叙述得知：感恩节就是家庭成员、亲戚的团聚，而不是旅游冒险，也不是不同代之间的相会。解析：13选A推理判断题。MsDahlstrom有两个感激：“总统选举”和“大家庭”，由此推断出她无论对社会还是对家庭都是充满感激和爱的。解析：14选A细节理解题。对文中这两个家庭的大致叙述，不难看出，感恩节就是家庭成员、亲戚的团聚，而不是旅游、冒险，也不是不同代人之间的相会。解析：15选B推理判断题。文中数次出现直接引语，在最后一段中出现了“We
