答案解析
正确答案:B
解析:
这是一道典型的英语完形填空或词汇辨析题。虽然题目给出了整段文本,但根据提供的选项(A. make, B. take, C. give)和答案(B),可以推断出这道题具体考查的是第 **9** 空的固定搭配。
以下是针对该题目的详细解析:
### 1. 定位考点
我们需要关注文本 B 部分中的这句话:
> "When does it ____9____ place? You can catch it every year at the end of August."
> (它什么时候______?你可以在每年八月底赶上它。)
这里的 `it` 指代前文提到的 "Notting Hill Carnival"(诺丁山狂欢节)。句子询问的是这个活动“举行”或“发生”的时间。
### 2. 固定搭配分析
在英语中,表示“举行”、“发生”或“进行”的常用固定短语是 **take place**。
* **take place**: 意为“举行”、“发生”。通常用于指计划好的事件、会议、庆典等如期进行。
* *例句*: The meeting will **take place** tomorrow. (会议将在明天举行。)
* *本题语境*: When does it **take place**? (它什么时候举行?)
### 3. 选项辨析
* **A. make**:
* `make place` 不是标准的固定搭配。
* `make room` 意为“腾出空间”,`make way` 意为“让路”,均不符合此处询问活动时间的语境。
* **B. take**:
* `take place` 是标准搭配,意为“举行”,完全符合句意。
* **C. give**:
* `give place` 意为“让位”、“被……取代”(通常后接 to),例如:Winter gives place to spring. (冬去春来。)
* 这与询问节日何时举办的语境不符。
### 4. 结论
根据固定搭配 **take place**(举行),第 9 空应填入 **take**。
因此,正确答案是 **B**。
