【题目】The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. People thought that there was a special danger from evil (邪恶的) spirits, so friends and family came together to bring good thoughts and wishes and even presents. 【1】 But as time went by, children and then adults began to have their own birthday celebrations. There are some traditions — such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the “Happy Birthday” song, which you can find almost anywhere, any time. 【2】

In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top. 【3】 The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!

In the past in parts of Europe, men who reached the age of thirty and were still single, had to clean the stairs of the City Hall. This way every girl could see that the man didn’t have a girlfriend. 【4】

After the age of thirty, many people prefer to forget their birthdays rather than celebrate them … children often bring Mum (or Dad) breakfast in bed. 【5】 It’s also a day when your friends and family have to pay if you go out for drinks or a meal!

A. Birthday traditions are around the world.

B. At one time, only kings had birthday parties.

C. Or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key.

D. It’s traditional to give flowers and enjoy a special meal.

E. Family members put many sweets on the birthday cake.

F. They could also see how good he was at cleaning the house!

G. Others are more specific to certain ages and certain countries.

【解析】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英语国家开派对庆祝生日的来历以及发展到现在庆祝生日的活动内容。

【1】首先，由空后but可知后句为转折，同时由“astimewentby”（随着时间推移）可知，前文对应的也应有时间表示，选项中只有B选项有“Atonetime”表从前，一度的意思，刚好与后面“astimewentby”形成转折，故选B.

【2】此空的上文表现的是各种常见的生日庆祝方式，几乎能在任何地方任何时间找到，故空处应该是对这一些传统的更进一步的说明，G选项中“certainages” 和“ certaincountries.”对应着上文的“anytime”和“anywhere” 的更进一步的说明，故选G

【3】由前文“cakeoftenhasakeyontop.”可知蛋糕上面有一把钥匙，关键词为“cake”和“key”，空处应是与关键词相关的句子，只有选项C选项符合题意，故选C.

【4】由上文“hadtocleanthestairsoftheCityHall.”可知他们不得不打扫楼梯，可知关键词为“cleanthestairs”同时也说明他们是因为单身所以才不得不这么做，由此空处应与他们的打扫有关，选项F中表明女孩儿们可以通过他们打扫楼梯来观察他们，符合题意，故选F.

【5】此空后句用“also”表现的是你和其他人出去吃喝你不用付款，即与空处是并列关系，空处也应表现的是生日所享的特权，选项D也表现这一天可以享受特餐和花朵是一种传统，故选D.

【题目】Dear Editor,

I'm a middle school student name Li Ming. I'm writing to tell you something. Recently I noticed many of my classmates often go to the cyber cafe near our school. I went there too in the other day. I was surprising to see many students playing computer games, watching films or chat. Some students were even talking about love affairs online. On my opinion, cyber cafes should be a place which we can find much useful information. The Internet should be a window to the outside world rather than place for games. The Internet is good if we make good use of him. Otherwise, it will give us great harm. So the local government should take measure to make sure that students use cyber cafes positively.
