题目内容
【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th. This means it's not a working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.
One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest(神父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted a safe return would drop money into the box.
One more thought is about the “Alms Box”placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers (做礼拜的人)put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas.
Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by giving away money to Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need.
A. That is why that day became known as Boxing Day. |
【答案】C；E；B；A；D
【解析】文章大意：这篇短文主要介绍了节礼日的两种不同的起源传说以及人们在节礼日的活动。
A. That is why that day became known as Boxing Day. 句意：这是为什么那天被叫做“节礼日”。
B. It was sealed up (密封) and kept on board until the ship came home safely. 句意：它被封起来放在船上直到船平安归来。
C. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. 句意：像圣诞节一样，节礼日是一个公共节日。
D. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are necessary activities on Boxing Day now. 句意：另外，现在，和家人共度节日时光和购物是节礼日的必要活动。
E. The exact origin (起源) of the holiday is unclear. 句意：节日的确切起源不清楚。
（1）根据后文This means it's not a working day in the whole of Britain. 这意味着在整个英国它不是工作日，可知上文介绍节礼日是一个公共节日，故选C.
（2）根据后文One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages,及下一段另一种说法，可知节礼日的起源是不确切的，故选E.
（3）根据上文那些想平安归来的船员就会往里面放钱，B项箱子会被封起来放在船上直到船平安归来。句中的it指代上文出现的box,故选 B.
（4）根据上文那些箱子总是在圣诞节后打开，这是为什么那天被叫做“节礼日”，故选A.
（5）根据D项中的Besides,可知前面叙述了传承节礼日的传统精神的活动，结合Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by giving away money to Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need故选D.

In the Amazon Rainforest, 72, 843 wildfires happened in 2019. The world worries about the forest. But why is the Amazon Rainforest so important?
First, thousands of plants and great animals grow or live in the Amazon Rainforest. We can find them there. The rainforest helps to protect the nature. We think the rainforest is a DNA bank holding the secrets in many different areas of humans’ lives.
Second, the Amazon Rainforest works to make the world not too hot or too cold. It cools down the temperature in the whole world by 1 or 2℃ and helps to keep the humidity(湿度) and rain in several parts of the world, too.
Last but not least, rainforests are often called the “lungs(肺) of the planet”, and the Amazon Rainforest has the largest number of carbon( 碳) (in forms of trees, leaves and roots) of the world. The Amazon Rainforest cleans dirty air through its trees and other plants. These plants take in CO2and send O2into the air while they keep the carbon and it helps them to grow.
If there are no rainforests, the temperature around the world will be higher and higher, and weather may be possible to get even worse in the future.
