As in the U.S. and elsewhere this is a day devoted to love.

Many families go away for the holidays, perhaps to ski in Colorado or to swim and sunbathe in Florida. Those who stay home have fun, too. There are numerous parties to celebrate the birth of Christ and the arrival of the new year. Although no one knows exactly when Jesus was born, Christians throughout the world celebrate his birthday on December 25th. This date was selected in the fourth century so that Christmas would replace the pagan (异教徒的) celebration of the winter solstice (冬至). Ancient people believed that daylight hours began to lengthen when the sun got started his journey back to earth. They celebrated the beginning of his journey on December 25th. In the United States, the spirit of Christmas arrives about a month before the holiday itself. Late in November, street lights and store windows are decorated with the traditional Christmas colors of red and green. Snowmen, Santa Claus, shepherds, angels, and Nativity scenes appear in countless shop windows. Fir trees, holly wreaths, and mistletoe are familiar sights. Families decorate their homes, inside and out, with colored lights and evergreens. The manufacture and distribution of Christmas items is big business. Stores depend upon Christmas shoppers for about one-fourth of their annual sales. Smart shoppers buy their gifts in November or early December, before the "Christmas rush" makes shopping a chore. Christmas is expensive. To earn extra money for gifts, thousands of Americans get part-time jobs during December delivering mail or selling gifts, trees, ornaments, or greeting cards. Many people make monthly bank deposits in special Christmas accounts so that they will have enough money to provide a nice Christmas for their families. Although Americans enjoy the commercial gaiety of Christmas, the most beautiful and meaningful aspects of the holiday occur at home and in church. Many families go to church on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. After services they gather around the tree and open their gifts. Then they sit down to enjoy a traditional Christmas dinner — turkey or ham, sweet potatoes, vegetables, cranberry sauce, and nuts. For dessert, there is usually fruit cake, plum pudding, or mince pie. 1，People in America celebrate Christmas as follows EXCEPT that ____.   some people go to the shops and buy presents   some families go to ski in Colorado   some families go to swim and sunbathe in Florida   some people stay at home holding numerous parties ,2，Christmas is also a commercial festival because _____.   the goods sold in Christmas seasons are very expensive   people tend to regard Christmas as an opportunity to earn money   stores can earn about one-fourth of their annual sales during Christmas   the whole society has become more and more commercialized ,3，It is true that ______.   people held a pagan celebration of the winter solstice in winter before Christmas came into being   Christmas was originally meant to be a religious festival, but now people no longer celebrate it as religious   traditionally people believed Christmas was the time from which the day began to shorten   people make monthly bank deposits in Christmas accounts to earn extra money for gifts   ,4，According to the passage, what does the underlined word "chore" in Paragraph 4 mean?   Routine domestic matter.   Something expensive.   Something stupid.   A heavy task. ,5，Which of the following best describes the theme of the passage? -   The way Americans celebrate Christmas.   The way Americans prepare for Christmas.   How Americans began to celebrate Christmas.   What Christmas means to Americans.   Have you ever been to an Irish wedding? I have just returned from one. It is a quarter to five in the morning; the sun has already climbed above the horizon; the birds are busy celebrating the new day and have eagerly been in search of food. But some of the guests have not yet left. They are still prolonging the night: dancing, singing, gossiping, postponing the unfortunate necessity of undertaking a day's work in the fields after a sleepless night. Throughout most of her life, Susan Milner, the bride, has been living in the small whitewashed thatched cottage I have just left. Twelve children have been brought up there but only two are still living at home. The eldest son, heir to the small farm, is helping his father with the farm work, (they employ no farm laborers); the youngest daughter is still at school. Two years ago, Susan Milner went to England to take up domestic work in a hospital and it was while she was living there that she met her future husband, Alex. He himself is an Irishman who used to live in Dublin and now has a well paid job in a light engineering works in England. They got engaged and started saving. Now they are thinking of buying a small semi-detached house near Alex's factory. The wedding ceremony was performed in the church in the nearest town at half-past eight yesterday morning. Another couple were being married at the same time. Nobody worried about the cost of the celebrations: Four luxurious cars brought bride, bridegroom, family and friends home, and forty people were crowded into the tiled kitchen and the tiny living room, hung with framed school certificates and religious pictures. An enormous meal was eaten; the wedding cake was cut and toasts were drunk in whisky or sherry. And while the remains of the feast were being cleared away and the rooms swept, the four cars set out again, taking the married couple and relations for a drive round the countryside. ,1，What makes it clear that this is a country wedding?   The bride is one of a large family.   The guests' occupation.   The birds are singing.   People are up so early.   ,2，No farm laborers are employed because _________.   they are not needed   the family is too poor   the son can help   there are none available   ,3，The young couple will not live on the farm after their marriage because __________.   there is no room for them   they have a house in England   they are both employed elsewhere   it is the bride's brother who will inherit the farm   ,4，The guests were taken for a ride round the countryside ___________.   to give them an opportunity of seeing the surroundings   to get them out of the way   to enable the neighbors to see the married couple   as a way of passing the time   ,5，The wedding was celebrated ___________.   in the morning   at noon   from morning till late in the evening   in the evening  G 单选   1，He sat there silently ______ on what had gone wrong. -   thinking of   considering   regarding   reflecting   ,  ,2，Niagara Falls is a great tourist ________ drawing millions of visitors every year. -   attention   attraction   appointment   destiny    3， It is known to us that _________ creatures are remarkably different in their sizes and shapes. -   living   live   alive   lively    4， American women usually ________ their best friend as someone with whom they can talk frequently. -   realize   recognize   identify   signify    5， The truth is quite _______ what you think. -   more than   other than   rather than   less than     6，The unusually cold winter caused many plants to ____ late this year. -   grow   grow up   bud up   bud     He said that his colleagues paid him a visit two days _____1_____ to National Day. -   previous   preceding   foregoing   former To make pancakes, in a large mixing bowl, combine flour and water, stirring constantly until all water is ___4___. -   involved   finished   explored   absorbed   After years of research, scientists have ___2___ the virus that is responsible for the disease. -   assigned   identified   equated   regarded   The library is installing new technology to __4____ access to its huge store of information. -   widen   shorten   fasten   broaden   Milan are going to win the cup ____1__.
