【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。
In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th. This means it's not a working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.
One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest(神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted a safe return would drop money into the box.
One more thought is about the “Alms Box”placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers (做禮拜的人)put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas.
Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by giving away money to Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need.

A. That is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
B. It was sealed up (密封) and kept on board until the ship came home safely.
C. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday.
D. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are necessary activities on Boxing Day now.
E. The exact origin (起源) of the holiday is unclear.

【答案】C；E；B；A；D
【解析】文章大意：這篇短文主要介紹了節(jié)禮日的兩種不同的起源傳說以及人們在節(jié)禮日的活動。

A. That is why that day became known as Boxing Day. 句意：這是為什么那天被叫做“節(jié)禮日”。

B. It was sealed up (密封) and kept on board until the ship came home safely. 句意：它被封起來放在船上直到船平安歸來。

C. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. 句意：像圣誕節(jié)一樣，節(jié)禮日是一個公共節(jié)日。

D. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are necessary activities on Boxing Day now. 句意：另外，現(xiàn)在，和家人共度節(jié)日時光和購物是節(jié)禮日的必要活動。

E. The exact origin (起源) of the holiday is unclear. 句意：節(jié)日的確切起源不清楚。

（1）根據(jù)后文This means it's not a working day in the whole of Britain. 這意味著在整個英國它不是工作日，可知上文介紹節(jié)禮日是一個公共節(jié)日，故選C.
（2）根據(jù)后文One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages,及下一段另一種說法，可知節(jié)禮日的起源是不確切的，故選E.
（3）根據(jù)上文那些想平安歸來的船員就會往里面放錢，B項箱子會被封起來放在船上直到船平安歸來。句中的it指代上文出現(xiàn)的box,故選 B.
（4）根據(jù)上文那些箱子總是在圣誕節(jié)后打開，這是為什么那天被叫做“節(jié)禮日”，故選A.
（5）根據(jù)D項中的Besides,可知前面敘述了傳承節(jié)禮日的傳統(tǒng)精神的活動，結(jié)合Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by giving away money to Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need故選D.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答問題。 One pleasant New Year morning, Edward got up and dressed himself in a hurry. He wanted to be the first to wish a happy New Year.
He looked in every room, and shouted "Happy New Year" to every one of his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat it to those he met. When he came back, his father gave him two new dollars. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some nice books.
As he ran down the street with a light heart to the bookshop, he saw a poor German family—the father, mother and three children walking in the cold wind.
“I wish you a happy New Year,' said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man shook his head. “You do not belong to this country?” asked Edward. The man shook his head again, because he could not understand or speak English. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children, he seemed to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”
Edward quickly understood that these people were poor and in trouble. He took out his dollars and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife. They said something in their language, which meant, “Thank you very much, and we will remember you forever.”
（1）When did the story happen?
（2）What did Edward wish to buy?
（3）Who did he see on the way to the bookshop?
（4）Why did the man shake his head again?
（5）Did Edward give the man one dollar or two dollars?

In the Amazon Rainforest, 72, 843 wildfires happened in 2019. The world worries about the forest. But why is the Amazon Rainforest so important?

First, thousands of plants and great animals grow or live in the Amazon Rainforest. We can find them there. The rainforest helps to protect the nature. We think the rainforest is a DNA bank holding the secrets in many different areas of humans’ lives.

Second, the Amazon Rainforest works to make the world not too hot or too cold. It cools down the temperature in the whole world by 1 or 2℃ and helps to keep the humidity(濕度) and rain in several parts of the world, too.

Last but not least, rainforests are often called the “l(fā)ungs(肺) of the planet”, and the Amazon Rainforest has the largest number of carbon( 碳) (in forms of trees, leaves and roots) of the world. The Amazon Rainforest cleans dirty air through its trees and other plants. These plants take in CO2and send O2into the air while they keep the carbon and it helps them to grow.

If there are no rainforests, the temperature around the world will be higher and higher, and weather may be possible to get even worse in the future.

【題目】 It was August in Paris. Most Parisians were out of the city, enjoying their summer holiday. The streets were empty and restaurants were closed.

But on a Saturday morning at 9 a.m., I was standing in a queue(隊伍). I was waiting to see Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, the world's most famous artwork. I bought the ticket in advance (提前). However, by the time I arrived at the Louvre(盧浮官), there had been a very long line.

It took me around 30 minutes to pass the security check(安檢). As I entered the museum, I found the second airport-style queue of the day. The line moved forward slowly and silently. It's just like a trip to Ikea. You only need some glasses. However, you have to walk, eyes-down, past lots of sofas and tables before you reach what you need.

The only sign（跡象）the Mona Lisa was close was a forest of security officers. Only ten people were allowed to view the painting at a time. A poster（布告）outside the pen（圍欄）warned, “The Mona Lisa has many admirers. Please keep your visit short and sweet to give everyone a chance to meet her.”

“How short is short and sweet?” I wondered. Very short, it turned out.

My watch clocked only 22 seconds from entering the pen before two staff members told me it was time to go. "One photo and go," they said. I tried to take a selfie（自拍）, but an arm quickly came to guide me onwards. Behind me, the queue slowly moved forward, ten by ten, to take a photo and leave.

I was almost alone as I admired the other artworks in the Louvre. I couldn't help wondering: Why are we so eager to see the Mona Lisa? Are we really going to appreciate the famous artworks or are we just "checking in" at the “popular” attractions?

【1】The author(作者)went to see Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa__________.

A.on a Saturday morning in JulyB.on a Saturday afternoon in July

C.on a Saturday morning in AugustD.on a Saturday afternoon in August

【2】How did the author know he was finally close to the Mona Lisa?

A.He saw many security officers.B.He saw another airport-style queue.

C.A staff member guided him onwards.D.He saw a poster telling people to keep their visits short.

【3】How many people were allowed to see the Mona Lisa at a time?

A.No more than nine people.B.No more than ten people.

C.No more than 22 people.D.No more.than 30 people.

【4】We can learn from the article that_________.

A.the author had never seen the Mona Lisa before

B.most Parisians are not interested in the Mona Lisa

C.the author failed to take a selfie in front of the Mona Lisa

D.the author spent half an hour getting from the Louvre's entrance to the Mona Lisa pen

【5】By writing this article, the author mainly wanted to __________·
