23、lddriveawayevilspiritsandpreventonefromgettingachillinlateautumn.”说的正是这一风俗的原因。2.D细节理解题。第四段最后一句提到了重阳节发展到现在人们爬山是为了锻炼身体,同时欣赏秋天的风景。3.B细节理解题。最后一段讲的是平原地区的人们过重阳节的习俗,他们远离大山,无法登高。由于在汉语中“糕”与“高”同音,他们用吃糕的方式庆祝重阳节。4.C细节理解题。重阳节在中国农历的九月初九,这一天并不是9月9日;汉朝时人们只是登上高地,并不一定是爬山;吃糕点只是寓意如同爬山,并不是说两种活动相像。在第二段中则提到了“ChongyangFest
24、ivalisusuallyperfectforoutdooractivities.havebecomethetraditionalactivitiesofthefestival.”。故选C项。五、1.B句意:母亲告诉我们由于没有足够的钱我们可能这个圣诞节无法再收到礼物了。send“发送,传送”;receive“收到”;mark“做标记,打分”;exchange“交流,交换”。2.C此处表达作者担心别的孩子问自己得到了什么礼物时将说什么。故选C项。find“找到,发现”;prepare“准备”;get“得到”;expect“期盼,料想”。3.D当作者开始不得不接受没有礼物的现实时,三位好心的女士
25、给他们送来了礼物。doubt“怀疑”;hope“希望,盼望”;suggest“建议,表明”;accept“接受”。4.C根据上一题分析可知应该选择C项。breakin“强行闯入”;settledown“定居,安下心来”;turnup“出现,露面”;showoff“炫耀,卖弄”。5.A根据下文“.IwouldnolongerhavetobeembarrassedwhenIreturnedtoschool.”可知,作者收到了一个玩具娃娃,所以感觉多少有些安慰。relief“安慰”;loss“损失;丧失”;achievement“成就”;justice“正义”。6.C文章最后一段倒数第三句“Iwas
26、ntforgotten.”给出了提示。blame“责备”;love“爱,喜欢”;forget“忘记”;affect“影响”。7.D根据上文可知,作者并没有被遗忘,还是有人能够想起自己。8.B根据上文提到的“mynewhouse”可知,这次圣诞节应该是作者迁入新居之后的第一个(first)圣诞节。故B项正确。9.B当作者在想如何让这次圣诞节过得既特别又令人难忘时,突然想起了小时候那几位好心女士的来访。hardly“几乎不”;instantly“瞬间,立刻”;regularly“有规律地,定期地”;occasionally“偶尔地,不时地”。10.C作者决定要让更多的孩子感受到被别人看重的感觉,就
27、像自己原来感受到的一样。strength“力气,力量”;independence“独立”;importance“重要性”;safety“安全”。11.C这次活动是由作者发起的,所以先要提出一个活动计划,所以C项正确。keepupwith“赶上”;catchupwith“赶上,追上”;comeupwith“提出,想出”;putupwith“忍受,容忍”。12.D送给孩子们的礼物都精心地包好,并且上面都写着每个孩子的名字。each在这里指代“eachpackage”。13.B根据上下文可知,作者要让这些孩子们感受到自己的与众不同,他们没有被人忘记。故选B项。special“特殊的,特别的”。14.
28、A根据后文可知,作者提醒孩子们暂时不要打开礼物,要等所有的孩子一起打开。remind“提醒,使想起”;guarantee“保证,担保”;convince“相信,使确信”;promise“许诺,承诺”。15.B根据上一题解析可知应该选择B项,用到的结构为“not.until.”,意为“直到才”。16.C最终,他们一直期盼的打开礼物的时刻到来了。chance“机会,时机”;gift“礼物”;moment“时刻,时候”;reward“回报,报酬”。17.A当孩子们看到礼物的那一刻,他们的脸上焕发出光彩,他们的笑容照亮了整个房间。lightup“照亮,点亮”;takeup“占据,开始,从事”;burnup“烧尽”;cheerup“高兴起来,振作起来”。18.D房间里到处充满喜悦的气氛,而且这种情绪并不仅仅是因为他们获得了礼物。根据语境可知应该选择D项。atmosphere“气氛,氛围”;sympathy“同情,怜悯”;calmness“镇定,冷静”;joy“喜悦,欢愉”。19.A分析句子可知这里it用来指代前面提到的“thejoy”。20.D根据上文可知,这种喜悦的感受作者曾经在很久以前的那个圣诞节中体验过,所以用介词from。
