这是一篇说明文。雕刻南瓜是万圣节的经典活动。家人和朋友可以聚在一起用南瓜创造出令

人惊叹的场景和面孔，同时在一个家庭友好的环境中享受彼此的陪伴。文章主要说明了雕刻

南瓜的方法和注意事项。

16.

根据后文uAfterchoosingyourpumpkin,youshouldmakesureyouhavealloftherightcarving

tools.Onceyouhavetherightpumpkin,thetools,andperhapsatemplate,itistimetostart

carving.（选好南瓜后，你应该确保你有所有合适的雕刻工具。一旦你有了合适的南瓜，工具，

也许还有模板，就该开始雕刻了）”由此可知，本段主要说明的是，选好南瓜后要确认所有

雕刻南瓜的工具都可用。后文中alloftherightcarvingtools可对应到B选项中ailnecessary

itemso故B选项“确保所有必要的物品都可用”符合语境，故选B。

17.

根据上文“First,useasawtocutoutthetop,aroundthestemofthepumpkin,soyoucanreach

inside.Youcancutthetopofthepumpkinround.Ofcourse,youcancutanotchinit.（首先,绕着

南瓜的茎，用锯子切掉南瓜的顶部，这样你就可以够到里面r。你可以把南瓜的顶部切成圆

形。当然,你可以在上面切一个凹口）”以及后文uOnceyourtopisoff,reachinsidewithalarge

spoonandtakeoutalloftheseedsandstuffinsidesofthepumpkin.（打开南瓜顶后,用一个大勺

子把手伸进里面，取出所有的种子和里面的东西）”可知，本句应当是承接上文说明要先雕

刻南瓜顶部的原因，且上文中【helop可对应到G选项中thetop。故G选项“因为这样更容

易记住顶部和南瓜是如何结合在一起的"符合语境，故选G。

18.

根据上文“Youcanuseapentodrawyourpatternontothepumpkinsoit'seasier（ocarveoryou

candrawyourdesign.（你可以用笔在南瓜上画出你的图案，这样雕刻起来更容易，或者你也

可以画出你的设计）”可知，本句应是承接上文说明南瓜雕刻设计的注意事项，旦上文中

design可对应到F选项中pumpkincarvingdesign。故F选项“南瓜ME刻设计最重要的部分是

要有创意”符合语境，故选F。

19.

根据后文“ThatgivesittheflamingqualitywhichisthebestonHalloween.Youcanalsousesome

lightsthatarebatterypoweredratherthanactuallyonfire.（这给了它燃烧的感觉，这在万圣节是

最好的。你也可以使用一些电池供电的灯，而不是点火照明）”可知，本句应当是在说明让

南瓜亮起来的方式，后文提到了使用电灯，而不是点火照明，可知本句是在说明在使用点火

照明南光灯的一种方式。后文中That可对应到D选项中useanactualcandleinsideyour

pumpkino故D选项“你可以在南瓜里面使用真正的蜡烛”符合语境，故选D。

20.

根据上.文“OnHalloweennight,yourfantasticpumpkincreationswillsurelyamazeallofthe

trick-or-trcatcrs.（在万圣节的晚上，你神奇的南瓜创造一定会让所有的“不给糖就捣蛋”的
