47、析：选A。根据下文拿万圣节的庆祝方式作例子可知，许多“国家”庆祝万圣节。country“国家，国土”；state“政体，国体，政权”；town“城镇”；province“省”。故A项正确。22A.late BearlyCreligious Dclose解析：选C。由although表达的转折关系及“a religious holiday”可以推断出religious正确，答案为C。23A.made BcelebratedCcongratulated Dgreeted解析：选B。根据上下文，尤其是文章第一句可知，答案为B。celebrate意为“庆祝”。congratulate“祝贺”；gree
48、t“问候”。24A.harvesting BharvestedCto harvest Dharvest解析：选B。harvest与the orange pumpkin是动宾关系，因此用过去分词作定语，答案为B。A、C表主动；D不能作定语。25A.candle BpictureClamp Dflashlight解析：选A。根据常识，只有“蜡烛”才可以被放入南瓜中制成南瓜灯挂在窗口作装饰用。lamp“油灯”；flashlight“闪光灯，手电筒”。26A.fun BpleasureCdecoration Dexample解析：选C。由上一句as a decoration可知，南瓜灯是用来作装饰的，
49、故C项正确。27A.having on BwearingCputting on Ddressing up解析：选D。本空的“穿”应该是表示状态的动词，排除C项。A项中的have on和B项中的wear均为及物动词，其后不再加介词。dress up意为“打扮，装饰”。故选D。28A.playing BdoingCmaking Dputting解析：选A。play tricks on为固定搭配，意为“搞恶作剧；开玩笑”。故A项正确。29A.peace BtroubleCnoises Dfaces解析：选B。由other可知，该选项是对上文列举的“ringing door bells”和“throw
50、ing bits of corn on the window panes(窗格)”的概括。句意为“或以其他方式制造一些小麻烦”。故选B。30A.share Blook atChonor Dadmire解析：选D。节日里孩子们穿了衣服是要别人“赞美，羡慕”的。look at仅表示“看”这个动作，不带有欣赏的意味，故选D。31A.who BwhoeverCwhat Dwhich解析：选A。孩子们戴了奇形怪状的面具要别人猜他们是“谁”。whoever意为“无论是谁”，不符合文意。故A项正确。32A.suggests BshowsCadvises Dinsists解析：选A。选项后句的句子是对“Tri
51、ck or Treat”的解释，故用suggest“暗示”。show“展示”；advise“建议”；insist“坚持”。33A.unless BifCuntil Dwhen解析：选B。如果“不招待我们，我们就要找你麻烦”。unless“如果不；除非”，与题意矛盾。34A.local BgovernmentalCinternational Dnational解析：选C。由下文第31空后的描述可知，这种庆祝方式被世界很多地方采用。local“当地的”；governmental“政府的”；international“国际的”；national“国家的，民族的”。故C项正确。35A.gather B
52、collectCmake Dearn解析：选B。collect money(raise money)意为“筹钱；集资”。gather无“筹钱”之意；make和earn表“挣钱”。故B项正确。36A.usual BrareCspecial Dcommon解析：选C。根据上文描述可知，这是一种“特殊的”集资方式。usual“往常”；rare“稀少”；special“特殊的”；common“普通的；常见的”。故C项正确。37A.Begin BBeganCBeginning DBegun解析：选D。it指代上句中的“UNICEF Trick or Treat”，与begin之间是被动关系，故用过去分词
53、作状语。38A.results from Bresults inCbring out Dbrings up解析：选B。由于后边有“being contributed to”，故用result in(导致)。result from“由导致”；bring out“拿出”； bring up“教育，培养”。39A.red Bblue Corange Dgreen解析：选C。由第二段第一句的“orange pumpkin”可知颜色为橘黄色，故C项正确。40A.pumpkin BtrickCtreat DHalloween解析：选A。筹款盒子的橘黄色让人们想到南瓜。第卷第二部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满
