試題詳情
When(1)approvedapproved(approve)to be volunteer for American Peace Corps(中美友好志愿者項(xiàng)目),I was excited but also anxious.
My task was to introduce traditional Chinese painting to Americans who came to China by using PowerPoint.
When I was making my PPT,I discovered that there were many differences between Chinese and Western art cultures,so the most difficult problem(2)facingfacing(face)me was to translate painting terms from Chinese to English.
For example,when I tried to translate "意境",which is a very common word in traditional Chinese painting,I found the phrase "artistic conception" on the Internet However,I asked my American friend Dino,a volunteer I met at work,and he said the translation was strange and unreasonable and couldn't(3)be understoodbe understood(understand)at all.
So how could I solve this translation problem?We-had a heated discussion that evening,but we(4)eventuallyeventually(eventual)found a phrase in the spirit of traditional Chinese painting.We decided that "意境" means the use of abstraction(出神)to arouse a viewer's imagination.Therefore,we could translate it as "poetic imagery" I understood that the secret to translation is to interpret the(5)originaloriginal(origin)meaning of the words in a certain context rather than invent a concept that does not exist in American culture.
But that wasn't the end of the challenge.When I was doing my detailed(6)presentationpresentation(present)on stage,there was a power cut,as a consequence of(7)whichwhichI could not use PPT!What could I do?I frowned and thought about it.Finally,I took a deep breath to calm myself What I said was based on my memory.
I showed brushes,ink(8)andandxuan paper to begin introducing the tools of Chinese painting.I thought I would be very nervous,but as I went on,I forgot all my(9)tension/tensionstension/tensions(tense)and became fluent.When I finished my speech,everyone clapped(10)forforme.I was so proud of myself.

1.Food festivals around the world
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations,but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans.Teams of four,dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes,roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course.On the way,they must not kick or throw their cheese,or go into their competitors' lane.Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly,but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones).All the competitors are served with beer or port wine,the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
Fiery Foods Festival-The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque,New Mexico.They come from as far away as Australia,the Caribbean and China,but they all share a common addiction-food that is not just spicy(辛辣),but hot enough to make your mouth burn,your head spin and your eyes water.Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March.You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper-officially the hottest pepper in the world-or any one of the thousands of products that are on show.But one thing's for sure-if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue,this festival isn't for you!
La Tomatina-The World's Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August,the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina-the world's largest food fight.A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events.The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes-official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts little more than half an hour,in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves,runs,or fights back.Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again-and for a much-needed wash!
