Question

【题目】根据短文内容按要求完成任务。

Firusa Khafizova is a pop star in the Democratic Republic of Tajikistan. Recently she got fined 5,000 somoni ($530) for celebrating her birthday (A) in the company of friends outside her home. She broke one of Tajikistan’s most special laws— “Regulation of Traditions and Customs in the Republic of Tajikistan”. According to the law, people mustn’t celebrate their birthdays in public places. They can only celebrate them at home. (B) It was reported that 648 people were fined for breaking this unusual law in 2018 alone and in total 3 million somoni ($325,000) was fined in these cases.

The law was introduced in 2007. It sets strict limits on the number of guests and dishes allowed at weddings, funerals (葬礼) and birthdays. Tajikistan is probably the only country in the world where celebrating a birthday outside the family home isn’t allowed.

It seems the special ban (禁令) is not welcome among the people who like to have a birthday party outside their homes. Many of them have used social media to express their displeasure with the ban, thinking it interferes (干涉) in their private lives. However, the government doesn’t think so. In (C) its eyes, banning public celebrations encourages people to spend their money on the needs of their families rather than on unnecessarily expensive birthday parties. Also (D) it’s a useful way to stop families from going into debt (债务) to host huge events.

【解析】

这是一则新闻。文章主要讲述流行歌手菲鲁萨·哈菲佐娃在室外和朋友庆祝生日，违反塔吉克斯坦民主共和国的法律，被罚款530美元的故事。塔吉克斯坦民主共和国不允许人民在公共场合庆祝生日，这是一条很特别的法律。有多人因为违反此条法律被罚款；有些人对此法律表示反对，觉得干涉了私人生活；而政府觉得此法鼓励人们在家庭必需品上花钱而不是浪费在不必要的生日宴会上，也是防范家庭因举行大型活动而卷入债务的有效方法。

【1】划线的句子“It was reported that 648 people were fined for breaking this unusual law in 2018 alone”中it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的that引导的主语从句。“were fined for breaking this unusual law”是一般过去时被动结构，表示因为违反此项不同寻常的法律而被罚款。alone放在数词2018后面加强语气，表示“仅仅，单，只”。故答案为据报道,仅2018年一年，就有648人因违反此项不同寻常的法律而被罚款。

【2】划线的句子“it’s a useful way to stop families from going into debt (债务) to host huge events”中it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。表语a useful way表示“一种有效的方法”。动词短语“stop ...from doing”表示防范，阻止。“stop families from going into debt (债务) to host huge events”表示防范家庭因举行大型活动而卷入债务。故答案为它也是一种防范家庭因举行大型活动而卷入债务的有效方法。

【3】根据“the government doesn’t think so”可知此处“in its eyes”中的its指的是在政府的眼中in the government's eyes。故答案为the government's。

【4】“in the company of friends”指的是在朋友的陪伴下她在她家外面庆祝生日。故答案为在……的陪伴下。

【5】文章主要内容是流行歌手菲鲁萨·哈菲佐娃在室外和朋友庆祝生日，违反塔吉克斯坦民主共和国的法律，被罚款530美元的故事。根据第一段“She broke one of Tajikistan’s most special laws”，和第二段“Tajikistan is probably the only country in the world where celebrating a birthday outside the family home isn’t allowed”可知此法是不寻常很特别的法律。由此概括得出文章的主旨句是She got a fine in Republic of Tajikistan或者She broke an unusual law in Republic of Tajikistan。故答案为She got a fine in Republic of Tajikistan./She broke an unusual law in Republic of Tajikistan.
