The definition of “spring fever” slowly changed in the early 1800s, Now people come to use the term to mean a sudden increase of romantic feelings. Elvis Presley describes this feeling in the song “Spring Fever.” “Spring fever, comes to everyone. Spring fever, it’s tune for fun. There’s no doubt now, love is everywhere.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】F

【4】E

【5】G

【解析】本文介紹一些關(guān)于spring的習(xí)慣用語。

【1】上文提到“當(dāng)我們有春熱時，我們真的生病了嗎？最初,是的”。承接上文，D項 Spring fever used to refer to an Actual illness.“春熱指的是一種真正的疾病。”切題。

【2】上文提到“但是“春天”這個詞不僅僅是一個季節(jié)。”承接上文，C項 It is also a verb that means something happening or appearing quickly.“它也是一個動詞，意思是發(fā)生或迅速出現(xiàn)的東西。”切題。該項中的also與上文中的not just對應(yīng)。

【3】上文提到“你從沙發(fā)上跳起來，去追趕老鼠！但是你沒抓住,”。下文提到“但是當(dāng)你告訴你的室友你在一個陷阱里捉到一只老鼠時，眼淚就會涌向她的眼睛。”承接上下句，F項 That night you spring a trap with some cheese in it“那天晚上你在里面放了一個帶奶酪的陷阱。”切題。關(guān)鍵詞trap。

【4】下文提到“你對她說，“你不能把它給我！我需要時間去找另一個室友！””承接下文，E項Then unexpectedly, your roommate is moving out tomorrow.“然后出乎意料的是，你的室友明天就要搬走了。”切題。該項中的moving out tomorrow.與find another roommate對應(yīng)。

【5】下文提到“她總是希望你能補償她失去的那只老鼠：她想讓你請她去吃午飯，提出去買電影票，有時甚至是提出去買雜貨。”承接下文，G項Even so, she constantly annoys you.“即使這樣，她持續(xù)不斷地?zé)�擾你”切題。該項中的constantly annoys you與下文內(nèi)容吻合。

做七選五題時，“當(dāng)心文中小also”，also是“也”的意思，這就說明前文一定存在它的一個分支了，這樣的例子比比皆是：前文交代“It helps you practice what you have learnt during the day and establish study habits that will be important in college ”雖然看上去很長的一句話，從句就有兩個，但是重點就三個單詞“It helps you”，此時在空中填上“It can also help you prepare for your classes and get a sense of progress.”，（關(guān)鍵詞It can also help you）這樣一對應(yīng)就很工整了。當(dāng)然“also”只是一個代表罷了，可以表示遞進(jìn)的詞還有很多：what’ more, besides, in addition等等。本題第2小題，該項中的also與上文中的not just對應(yīng)。故答案為C。
