　　語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了著名的法國巴黎時裝周。

　　1．taking　此處是介詞with的復合結構，該空前的“Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter events”與take place之間為主謂關系，故用現在分詞taking。

　　2．other　目前，巴黎時裝周在Carrousel du Louver及這個城市其他的一些地方舉行，根據句意可知此處填形容詞other。

　　3．one　巴黎時裝周是世界四大時裝周之一。此處是“one of the ...”的結構，因此填代詞one。

　　4．what　時裝周是為了向時尚界展示各品牌將要發布什么樣的時裝。此空后是show的賓語從句，由于在賓語從句中releasing缺少賓語，因此用what引導賓語從句。

　　5．(to) increase　時裝周的目的是在發表最新時裝的同時促進銷售。to show和(to) increase為并列關系。

　　6．regarded　Paris和New York, Milan, London一樣被看作是時尚之都。Paris和regard之間在邏輯上是動賓關系，因此用過去分詞regarded。

　　7．impressive　法國的時尚以其優雅美麗的風格給其愛好者留下了深刻的(impressive)印象。

　　8．are presented　這里表客觀事實，用一般現在時；又因句子的主語與present之間是動賓關系，因此此處用一般現在時的被動語態，即are presented。

　　9．designs　design意為“設計”，為可數名詞，此處表示復數的意義，因此填designs。

　　10．while/and　while在這里表對比關系，意思是“而”；此處也可以用and表并列關系，意思是“和”，故while和and均符合語境。

　　Dear Tom，

　　Thanks for your e-mail last time. I'd like to tell you that I am now focusing my attention on American culture, especially American festivals.

　　When it comes to American festivals, what attracts me most is Thanksgiving Day. Since I have never spent the festival in America in person, I know little about it. I would appreciate it greatly if you can tell me something about it. My questions are as follows: How did it come into being? When and how do people celebrate it? What's its significance?

　　I hope you can give me assistance in this problem and thank you in advance.

　　Best wishes!

　　(2024·河北普通畢業班質量檢查)The term “smog” was first used in London during the early 1900's to describe the combination of smoke and fog. What we typically call “smog” today is a mixture of pollutants but is primarily made up of ground-level ozone (臭氧)．

　　Ozone can be beneficial or harmful depending on where it stays. The ozone staying high above the Earth protects human health and the environment,

　　but ground-level ozone is responsible for the choking, coughing, and painful eyes associated with smog. The ozone in smog also prevents plants growth and can cause widespread damage to crops and forest.

　　Major smog occurrences often are linked to heavy motor vehicle traffic, high temperatures, sunshine, and calm winds. Weather and geography affect the position and severity of smog. Because temperature regulates the length of time it takes for smog to form, smog can form faster and be more severe on a hot and sunny day. When warm air stays near the ground instead of rising and winds are calm, smog may stay trapped over your city for days. As traffic and other sources add more pollutants to the air, the smog gets worse. Smog is often more severe away from the pollution sources because the chemical reactions that cause smog occur in the atmosphere while the reacting chemicals are being moved by the wind.

　　Smog is a visible example of air pollution. You can look into the distance during the day to see how much smog there is in the air. In addition, most cities measure the concentrations of pollutants in the air and report the results to the public.

　　Environmental Protection Agency sets national standards for pollutants. Areas that fail to meet the standards for at least one air pollutant are called “nonattainment (不達標) areas”. New measures are being taken by local governments across the country to reduce air pollution in nonattainment areas. These include: banning charcoal barbecues and wood burning in stoves or fireplaces when pollution levels are high; developing programs to encourage carpooling and voluntary “ozone actions”； limiting traffic in overcrowded areas; expanding or improving public transportation systems; requiring employers to contribute to employee public transportation costs; assessing “smog fees” on cars according to the number of miles driven and vehicle emissions (排放) produced; and even buying and breaking up older “super-dirty” cars.
