【分析】
首先通读整篇短文,明确语篇围绕四季特征展开,核心介绍了秋冬两季的典型活动与气候变化,先梳理方框内所有词汇的含义与词性:harvesting(收割,动名词)、drop(下降,动词)、increase(增长,动词)、even if(即使,连词短语)、Thanks to(多亏,介词短语)、traditional(传统的,形容词)。接下来逐空结合词性需求、上下文逻辑、固定搭配筛选答案,最后代入全文验证语义通顺度,同时排除多余的干扰词increase即可完成解题。
【解析】
1. 第一空:空格后是名词activities,需要形容词对其进行修饰,方框内仅traditional为形容词,含义是“传统的”,traditional activities指代传统活动,后文列举的秋日爬山、观赏金枫叶都属于秋季传统活动,语义匹配,因此填traditional。
2. 第二空:此处符合固定搭配be busy doing sth.(忙于做某事)的结构,需要填入动名词;后文提到农民在田间采收成熟的庄稼,对应秋季农民忙于收割的场景,因此填动名词harvesting。
3. 第三空:空格前后两个分句“农民因丰收愉快劳作”和“天气有时会转凉”是让步逻辑关系,需要引导让步状语的短语连接,even if含义为“即使”,完全符合逻辑,因此填even if。
4. 第四空:前文提到冬季临近天气日渐寒冷,可推知气温会急剧下降,start to do sth.结构后接动词原形,drop含义为“下降”,符合天冷气温降低的常识,排除语义相反的干扰项increase(上升),因此填drop。
5. 第五空:后半句“我们不用担心即将到来的降雪”的前提是有厚外套和厚围巾这类保暖物品,Thanks to含义为“多亏、由于”,放在句首首字母大写,符合因果逻辑,因此填Thanks to。
【答案】
1. traditional 2. harvesting 3. even if 4. drop 5. Thanks to
