Question

【題目】When I was a kid, the Easter (復活節(jié)) holidays in Australia were my favorite time of the year. As soon as they began in April, my family would head straight to the beach for a weekend of camping.

Unlike most of the world, Easter falls in autumn in Australia. This means that Easter is our last chance to enjoy the warm weather, swim in the ocean and sleep in the bush under the stars.

We’d pitch our tents(帳篷) on clear patches of grass and look out onto an almost empty beach. Often we were the only ones camping and the whole beach would be ours alone.

We used to spend all day outside – swimming, hiking and fishing. On Easter morning, my parents would wake up early and plan an Easter egg hunt for my three brothers and me. They would hide the eggs in the strangest places – in abandoned(廢棄的) bird nests in the trees, under our tents and in every corner of the stones that surround(環(huán)繞著) the beach.

In Australia, instead of chocolate bunnies, we had chocolate bilbies (兔耳袋貍). Bilbies are Australian animals with long ears. Chocolate bilbies were the best treat to find and there was always one for each of us.

But sometimes, other animals found them first, and all we’d find were brightly colored wrappers(包裝袋) with animal tooth marks.

After the hunt we would come back to the campsite with our bellies (肚子) full of chocolate. For us, Easter wasn’t about chocolate eggs or religious tradition. It was about being with our family in the great outdoors.

【解析】

試題分析：復活節(jié)是澳大利亞的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，它在每年的四月份，尋找復活節(jié)彩蛋成為一種習俗。在澳大利亞，人們常吃巧克力袋貍，而不是巧克力小兔子。對于作者來說，能與家人一起在戶外活動，才是最大的樂趣。

【1】A細節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)短文中的句子“As soon as they began in April, my family would head straight to the beach for a weekend of camping.”可知，每到復活節(jié)，作者全家都將去海灘野營。只有A符合題意。

【2】C推理判斷題。依據(jù)短文中的句子“Unlike most of the world, Easter falls in autumn in Australia.”可知，并不像世界上其它大多數(shù)國家，澳大利亞的復活節(jié)在秋季。只有C與原文意思相符。

【3】C 細節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)短文中的句子“In Australia, instead of chocolate bunnies, we had chocolate bilbies (兔耳袋貍)”故答案為C。

【4】B主旨大意題。依據(jù)短文大意可知，作者向我們介紹了在復活節(jié)期間，他們一家人是如何度過節(jié)日的。即如何慶祝節(jié)日的。故答案為B。
