閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A，B，C，和D）中選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car．Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所)．I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family．My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories．

“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday．”

I thought this was strange．Finally I understood what had happened．My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘holidays” is ‘vacancies’．So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‘VACANCIES’, which in English means there are free rooms．Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‘NO VACANCLES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday．But they found that these houses were all full．As a result, they stayed at hotels!

We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs．In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ means fun．In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road．When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun．Instead, the road ended in a large hole．

English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages．Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French．I meant that I would like some more．However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you．”

1.My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______．

A．learning English

B．finding places to stay in England

C．driving their car on English roads

D．going to England by car

2.I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ______．

A．they would be able to practise their English

B．it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels

C．it would be convenient for them to have dinner

D．there would be no problem about finding accommodation there

3.If you see a road sign that says ‘Diversion’, you will ______．

A．fall into a hole

B．have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself

C．find that the road is blocked by crowds of people

D．have to take a different road

4.When someone offered me more coffee and I said ‘Thank you’ in French, I ______．

A．didn’t really want any more coffee

B．wanted them to take the coffee pot away

C．really wanted some more coffee

D．wanted to express my politeness

The smiling face of Santa Claus appears all across China．Local governments are decorating trees and lamp posts with lights and ornaments．At first glance，visitors would think they were in Europe．

Despite the fact that most Chinese are not Christians，Christmas season has become increasingly popular．

"If you walked around major Chinese cities 15 years ago，you wouldn`t have seen many signs of Christmas．However，if you were to visit those same Chinese cities again today，you’d be surprised to see signs of Christmas almost everywhere，" says Cai Jiming，a professor with Tsinghua University，who has served as an expert in developing China`s holiday schedule．

Although Christmas is not a public holiday，many Chinese cities are still getting into the Christmas spirit．

Cai says his e-mail inbox and cell phone have been flooded with messages wishing him a merry Christmas．The greetings have been coming in since the end of November．

In his view，Christmas seems like a "warm-up" for the truly important coming month-long Spring Festival．

However，despite the prevalence (流行)of Christmas celebrations，for most Chinese，it neither means a religious celebration nor an occasion for family reunions．Instead，it is a time for relaxing with friends，a time to shop，a time to have a party and it is especially a time for romance．

"I expect my boyfriend to take me out on Christmas Eve and I expect a romantic night，" says Christine Zhou，28，a hotel manager in Beijing．"It seems to me that everything associated with Christmas time is romantic．"

On the streets，rose and chocolate peddlers are vying （競爭）for their business．

Christmas has become another Valentine`s Day，and at the same time，more people feel it is a time to reward themselves with good food and a good time．

However，as more Chinese join in the Christmas celebrations each year，some feel the Western-based festival is harming time-honored traditions．

But Cai considers it is unnecessary to boycott （抵制）a Western cultural festival．"All important festivals in different cultures have now developed into universal holidays，" he says．”

1.From the first paragraph，we know________．

A．Christmas has become the most important festival in China

B．Christmas is celebrated by a great number of people in China

C．Santa Claus doesn’t appear in Europe any more on Christmas

D．The smiling faces of Santa Claus are hung on the trees in local governments

2.Professor Cai Jiming’s words in the third paragraph are used to________．

A．show he is a famous expert in China’s holiday schedule

B．prove Tsinghua University is the best university in China

C．prove Christmas season has become more and more popular

D．show great changes have taken place in China

3.Christmas celebrations for Chinese people mean_____．

A．a(chǎn) religious celebration．

B．a(chǎn)n occasion for family to get together．

C．a(chǎn) lover’s celebration．

D．relaxing with friends and a time for romance．

4.What’s the best title of the text？

A．Christmas in Europe

B．Chinese celebrating Christmas holiday

C．Romantic holiday－Valentine’s Day

D．The smiling face of Santa Claus

科目：高中英語 來源：2015-2016學(xué)年河南商丘市高一下期中考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax，he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park，”he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids，and you can go visit your mom.”

Things started well，but just after eight o’clock，his three little “good kids”—Mike，Randy，and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast，daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds，Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(節(jié)拍)．Mike chanted “Where’s my toast，where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.

Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom，while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks，although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.

By ten o’clock，things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils. Randy，thankfully，appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.

At exactly 11∶17，Brad called the daycare centre(日托所)．“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes？”The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.

1.When his wife left home，Brad expected to________.

A. enjoy his first day off work

B. watch TV talk show with his children

C. go out for a walk in the park

D. read the newspaper to his children

2.Which of the following did Randy do?

A. Drawing on the wall. B. Eating apple jam.

C. Feeding the fish. D. Reading in a room.

3.Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?

A. Because he wanted to clean up his house.

B. Because he suddenly had to go to his office.

C. Because he had to take his wife back home.

D. Because he found it hard to manage his boys.

4.This text is developed________.

A. by space B. by time C. by process D. by comparison
