5.Clothing(服裝)is a language.We can look at traditional clothing to know more about culture.
Africa has a long history and a rich culture,and this is shown in traditional dress.The three colours一red,gold and green,are often used in the clothing.The first colour represents the blood of millions of people who fought for freedom; the second,rich resources of the African earth; and the third,the grassland of home.
Because clothing has strong social meanings,people are very careful in choosing what to wear.It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothes,or to dress in the wrong way.For example,in Ghana,a woman should wear her waistband (腰帶)differently according to the importance of the social event.
Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life.African designs are famous for loose(寬松的)clothing.The temperature there can be very high during the daytime but very low at night,so it requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life.
Today although more and more young people like wearing Western clothes especially in big cities in Africa,traditional African dress is still quite valuable.This is because it has deep cultural meanings.
Traditional Dress in Africa
Different colours.The three most(54)importantcolours used in clothing are red,gold and green.
.Different colours(55)standfor different things:the blood of freedom fighters,resources of the earth and the grassland of home
Social meanings.Because clothing  has strong social meanings,people have to choose what to wear(56)carefully.
.Women in Ghana even wear different waistbands according to how important the event is.
Everyday life .Because the temperature (57)changesgreatly,clothes are usually loose and comfortable.
.Though Western clothes are popular with young people in some areas,traditional clothes are still of great(58)value    

分析 服裝是一種語言.我們可以看看傳統(tǒng)服裝去了解文化.
非洲有著悠久的歷史和豐富的文化,從傳統(tǒng)服飾上可以看到.有三種顏色一紅色、金色和綠色,通常用于服裝.第一種顏色代表數(shù)以百萬計(jì)爭(zhēng)取自由的人的血;第二,豐富的非洲大地資源;和第三,家鄉(xiāng)的草地.
因?yàn)榉b具有很強(qiáng)的社會(huì)意義,人們?cè)谶x擇穿什么時(shí)都很謹(jǐn)慎,穿錯(cuò)衣服或者穿著不適當(dāng)是一個(gè)嚴(yán)重的錯(cuò)誤.例如在加納,女人應(yīng)該根據(jù)社交活動(dòng)的重要性選擇不同的腰帶.
傳統(tǒng)服飾也告訴我們關(guān)于日常生活的事.非洲的設(shè)計(jì)以寬松的服裝聞名,白天的溫度會(huì)很高,但在夜間很低,所以要求衣服在日常生活中是舒適的.
今天,盡管越來越多的年輕人喜歡穿西方服裝,特別是在非洲大城市,傳統(tǒng)的非洲服飾仍然是很有價(jià)值的,這是因?yàn)樗猩羁痰奈幕饬x.

解答 54.答案:important.推理判斷題.根據(jù)The three colours一red,gold and green,are often used in the clothing.The first colour represents the blood of millions of people who fought for freedom; the second,rich resources of the African earth; and the third,the grassland of home.可知這里提到的三個(gè)顏色是用常在服飾上的,各自有不同的寓意,故可知這三個(gè)顏色是在非洲最重要的,故填形容詞important.
55.答案:stand.詞義理解題.根據(jù)The first colour represents the blood of millions of people who fought for freedom; the second,rich resources of the African earth; and the third,the grassland of home.可知三個(gè)顏色代表不同的含義,represent是動(dòng)詞代表,結(jié)合for用stand  for表示代表,這里是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),主語是Different colours復(fù)數(shù),故答案是stand
56.答案:carefully.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)Because clothing has strong social meanings,people are very careful in choosing what to wear可知因?yàn)榉b具有很強(qiáng)的社會(huì)意義,人們?cè)谶x擇穿什么時(shí)都很謹(jǐn)慎,空格處是用來修飾動(dòng)詞choose,故用副詞carefully仔細(xì)地,故答案是carefully.
57.答案:changes.推理判斷題.根據(jù)The temperature there can be very high during the daytime but very low at night,so it requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life.可知是因?yàn)榘滋斓臏囟葧?huì)很高,但在夜間很低,所以要求衣服是在日常生活中是舒適的.故可知溫度變化很大.這里是說客觀事實(shí)用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),主語是the temperature 不可數(shù)名詞,故謂語動(dòng)詞change改變用三單changes,故答案是
58.答案:value.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)Today although more and more young people like wearing Western clothes especially in big cities in Africa,traditional African dress is still quite valuable.可知雖然西方服飾很流行,但是傳統(tǒng)服飾還是十分有價(jià)值,結(jié)合 of great,后面加上名詞value,故答案是value.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 此類任務(wù)型閱讀在充分理解文章含義和表格的結(jié)構(gòu)后,結(jié)合文意和語法得出正確答案,要檢查時(shí)態(tài),主謂一致等語法錯(cuò)誤.

As Sam slowly woke, he got a funny feeling in his stomach. He knew he would have to do something that he had been afraid to do for a long time.

The school bus came on time, and he sat with his friend, Billy. They chatted about baseball. It was a great way to get his mind off what he had to do later. As they got close to the school, he could feel his heart beating. His hands were starting to sweat. He hated this!

He entered Mrs. Owen’s class. She was smiling, and saying hello to all her students as she did every morning.

“Hi, Sam!” she said as he walked in.

“Hi,” he said and quickly sat in his seat. Then the class began to take their spelling test. He looked at the clock. The time was near. He hoped he was not first! Mrs. Owens said it was time to begin their special day.

“Sam, you’ll be first.” Mrs. Owens said to the class, “Sam has worked very hard on his report on Hawaii, and I know it is very interesting.”

Sam nervously greeted his class. Then, he thought about the fun things he had read about surfing, volcanoes, and pineapples in Hawaii, and he started to talk.
