Some Unusual Celebrations
Some holidays are well-known all around the world.Among them are New Year's Eve celebrations.Also common are days in honor of love and friendship,like Valentine's Day.Each country has its own special holidays,too,often to mark important events in its history.Schools,banks,and government offices all close on days like these._________ (46) A few of them are really very strange.
Of course,they are not strange to the people who celebrate them.Perhaps that is because the celebrations have long traditions.Consider April Fool's Day,for example.No one knows when or why it began.Today it is celebrated in many countries—France,England,and Australia among others.On this day,people play practical jokes._________ (47) The ones who laugh are the ones playing the jokes.The people they fool often get angry.Does celebrating this day make sense to you?
Dyngus Day in Poland seems strange,too.On this day,it is traditional for boys to pour water over the heads of girls.Here is the strangest part: They do it to girls they like.
Other unusual celebrations take place in a single city or town.A holiday called La Tomatina is celebrated in Bunol,Spain.Every year,in late August,big trucks carry more than 200,000 pounds of tomatoes into this little town._________ (48) For two hours,people in the,streets throw tomatoes at each other.Everyone ends up red from head to toe.
August 10 marks the start of the Puck Fair,an Irish festival with a very unusual tradition.People from the town of Killorglin go up into the mountains and catch a wild goat._________ (49)
There are also some celebrations that are really strange.In the United States,sometimes one person gets an idea for a new holiday and tries to get others to accept it.Whose idea was Public Sleeping Day? That one is on February 28.It may seem strange,but it sounds like more fun than the one on February 9._________ (50)
Do you like the idea of inventing a new holiday? If you do,then you will want to mark March 26 on your calendar.That is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.
A.Some of the days people celebrate,however are less serious.
B.Jokes are supposed to be funny,but these jokes do not make everyone laugh.
C.Some people have fun imagining new holidays.
D.They bring him back to town put a crown on his head,and make him king for three days.
E.Then begins the world's biggest food fight.
F.That is supposed to be Toothache Day.
答案解析:
46.A 句意:然而,人們所慶祝的一些天并不那么嚴(yán)肅。
文中“學(xué)校、銀行和政府機(jī)構(gòu)在這樣的節(jié)日里會關(guān)門”和“其中有些節(jié)日確實(shí)又非常奇特!焙苊黠@應(yīng)補(bǔ)入A項。
47.B 句意:惡作劇很有趣,但是這些惡作劇并不能使每個人都發(fā)笑。
文中“這一天,人們開著戲弄人的惡作劇。”和“做惡作劇的人會笑,而被戲弄的人往往會很生氣!焙苊黠@應(yīng)補(bǔ)入B項。
48.E 句意:接著便開始了世界上最大的食物大戰(zhàn)。
Then(然后,接著),起承上啟下作用。(該詞引導(dǎo)的是一個全倒裝句,“theworld's biggest food fight”是主語,“begins”是謂語)。the world's biggest food fight中的food(食物)非常重要,說明其前一句中肯定有“食物”之類詞。文中“每年的八月末,大卡車載著二十多萬磅的西紅柿進(jìn)入這個小鎮(zhèn)!焙苊黠@應(yīng)補(bǔ)入E項。
49.D 句意:他們把他(或它)帶回城里,給他(或它)戴上了王(或花)冠,并讓他(或它)當(dāng)三天的國王。
They(他們;指人,復(fù)數(shù))him(他;指人或動物)。所補(bǔ)空白處的前一句應(yīng)該有表示“人”的復(fù)數(shù)名詞和有表示“人”或“動物”的單數(shù)名詞。文中“Killorglin城的人們上山去抓一只野山羊。”很明顯應(yīng)補(bǔ)入D項。
50.F 句意:這一天是牙痛日。
That(這一或那一),代詞,指代前一句中的某個名詞。Toothache Day(牙痛日),說明前一句一定會有“某月某日”,才能定為大寫的……日。文中“似乎很奇怪,可是聽起來比這更有趣的是2月9日。”很明顯應(yīng)該補(bǔ)入F項。
