Question

【题目】 Every year, there are many people going home by long-distance buses during the Spring Festival and the Tomb-sweeping Day. There are more walkers on their way home or to work on the roads. So there are more and more traffic accidents on the roads. Thanks to the efforts of the traffic police, it is said this year the number of traffic accidents across China was 25.2 percent fewer than the year of 2018 during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day.

Tomb-sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival. It is an important occasion for Chinese to honor their ancestors(祖先). Most people go home in memory of their ancestors on that day. About 9.78 million Chinese visited cemeteries to honor their ancestors or relatives during the holiday. A few people also spent the three-day holiday on leisure trains. So transportation safety is a big problem.

On the other hand, it is said Chinese have made 112 million trips during the holiday, up 10.9 percent from last year’s holiday. For the traffic accidents, some people lost their lives. This year, traffic accidents caused 10 deaths during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day.

The fewer traffic accidents are all from the efforts of the police and our government. With the development of society and the government’s efforts, I believe everything will change better.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，说的是在警方和政府的努力下，今年的清明节交通事故数量较2018年有大幅度下降。

【1】题意：为什么假期里交通事故多？

细节理解题。根据原文“There are more walkers on their way home or to work on the roads. So there are more and more traffic accidents on the roads”可知，出行在路上的人越来越来多了，所以交通事故的发生几率也大大增加了。D选项Because there are more people on the roads“因为路上的人多了”符合题意，故选D。

【2】题意：清明节三天假期里，交通事故数量比2018年减少了约__________。

细节理解题。根据原文“it is said this year the number of traffic accidents across China was 25.2 percent fewer than the year of 2018 during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day”可知，清明节三天假期里，交通事故数量比2018年减少了约25.2%。B选项25.2%符合题意，故选B。

【3】题意：画线单词“cemeteries”的意思是？

词句猜测题。单词所在句为“About 9.78 million Chinese visited cemeteries to honor their ancestors or relatives during the holiday，”根据句中“honor their ancestors or relatives during the holiday，”可推断清明节人们会去墓地为祖先和亲人扫墓，故cemeteries意为“墓地”。A选项“墓地”符合题意，故选A。

【4】题意：根据本文内容可知，哪一项是正确的？

细节理解题。根据原文“Tomb-sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival”可知，“扫墓日”又名为“清明节”，两者是一个概念，故A选项“扫墓日不同于清明节”说法错误，可排除。根据原文“Most people go home in memory of their ancestors on that day”可知，绝大多数中国人会在清明节祭祀祖先，B选项“大约一半的中国人在清明节祭祖”说法错误，可排除。D选项文中无对应内容可查，可排除。根据原文“it is said Chinese have made 112 million trips during the holiday, up 10.9 percent from last year’s holiday”可知，中国人在节日期间的旅行量比去年增加了10.9%，C选项More and more people like traveling during their holidays“越来越多的人喜欢在假期旅行”说法正确，故选C。

【5】题意：你在哪里能读到这篇文章？

推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文是一篇新闻报道，说的是今年清明节交通事故数量比2018年减少了约25.2%，而新闻报道通常会出现在报纸上。B选项In a newspaper“在报纸上”符合题意，故选B。
