【题目】请阅读下面非连续性文本, 按要求完成所给任务, 并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。

In the past, working people in Britain only had holidays on holy（神圣的）days: Sundays, Christmas and Easter. Now most people have about four weeks holiday every year plus public holidays (also called "bank holidays"）.

British people usually have their holidays in summer, in July or August. Many working people take a two-week holiday during the summer. School children are on holiday from about the end of July to the start of September.

The holiday break in winter or in spring is also becoming more popular in the UK. In winter some people go skiing in Europe, and in spring, visits to capital cities such as Paris, Amsterdam or Barcelona are popular.

The most popular holiday locations for British people include Spain, France, Greece and the USA. Lots of people buy a package holiday. It includes flights（机票）and a hotel or an apartment. Cheap flights to warm places mean that many British people are able to spend two weeks a year relaxing in the sun abroad.

Flights and package holidays are much cheaper during school term time and the British government（政府）is worried that some young people are missing school to go on holiday. Parents who take their children on holiday during term time can now pay a fine of up to 100 pounds.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英国人民休假的一些信息，包括其全年的假期分别有哪些、在何时休、人们通常如何度假等。

【1】根据“Now most people have about four weeks holiday every year plus public holidays (also called "bank holidays"）”，可知他们每年大约有四周的假期，故答案为About four weeks.

【2】The holiday break是句子的主语，in winter or in spring介词短语为后置定语，修饰其前主语；become是系动词，more popular是表语，意为“更受欢迎”。故答案为“在英国，冬假和春假也正变得更受欢迎”。

【3】划线词所在句句意为“它包含机票、一个酒店住宿或公寓住宿”，根据前文“Lots of people buy a package holiday”，可知此处的it就是指前文中的“a package holiday”，故答案为a package holiday。

【4】根据“Parents who take their children on holiday during term time can now pay a fine of up to 100 pounds”，可知在学期中带学生去度假的家长会面临高达100英镑的罚款，故答案为They will pay a fine of up to 100 pounds.

【5】开放性作答，言之有理即可。参考答案：I usually go for a travel during summer holiday, because I want to know the world better.
