Christmas Day, the birthday of Jesus Christ(耶穌),is the most important festival in Britain and some other countries. On Christmas Eve, people usually tell their children to put their stockings at the end of their beds before they go to sleep. Children believe Santa Claus, with the other name of Father Christmas, will come during the night and fill(裝滿)their stockings with Christmas presents.
Actually(實(shí)際上), Father Christmas is children’s father. He dresses up(打扮)in a red coat and waits until children fall asleep. Then he goes into children’s bedrooms, and puts small presents in their stockings. When children are no longer(不再)young, they know who Father Christmas really is.
Not only children but also their parents enjoy Christmas stockings. They also have stockings. Early on the morning of Christmas Day, Children wake their parents up and say "Merry Christmas”. Then they help their parents open their stockings. Everybody likes presents, but it is better to give than to receive(收到).

【小題1】Christmas Day is the birthday of Jesus Christ.
【小題2】On Christmas Eve, children put the hats on the beds.
【小題3】In fact, Father Christmas is children’s father.

解析試題分析:這篇文章主要描述了圣誕節(jié)。在平安夜,孩子們都會(huì)把長(zhǎng)筒襪掛在床頭,等待圣誕老人半夜來(lái)送衣物,長(zhǎng)大了孩子們就知道圣誕老人就是爸爸。大人孩子都喜歡禮物。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句Christmas Day, the birthday of Jesus Christ(耶穌)可知圣誕節(jié)就是耶穌的生日。故本題正確。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二行On Christmas Eve, people usually tell their children to put their stockings at the end of their beds before they go to sleep.可知在平安夜,人們通常要求孩子們?cè)谒霸诖差^掛長(zhǎng)筒襪,而不是本題中的hats(帽子),故本題錯(cuò)誤。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句Actually(實(shí)際上), Father Christmas is children’s father.可知實(shí)際上圣誕老人就是孩子的爸爸,故本題正確。In fact和Actually同義:實(shí)際上。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句N(xiāo)ot only children but also their parents enjoy Christmas stockings.不但孩子們而且他們的父母也喜歡圣誕長(zhǎng)筒襪。本題只說(shuō)孩子們喜歡是不正確的。Not only ---but also---不但……而且……。
【小題5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一句but it is better to give than to receive(收到)可知給予要比接受更好,本題正好和原文相反,所以是錯(cuò)的。

Making sense of how the US shows humor
Living in a new country gives me many surprises. The first surprise was the way that the US people speak
One day I saw someone was having a public speech in a square. I thought it would be a serious speech. But I soon found it became a kind of entertainment show.
The speaker told the audience to protect the environment with humorous words. Later he said some people’s behavior didn’t go with their words. He took the example of Taylor Swift’s song We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.[
He said that since Swift doesn’t want to be with the boy any more, she doesn’t need to speak it aloud, she doesn’t need to sing unless she still keeps in touch with that guy. It sounds like she is a hypocrite.
Then he sang the song in a funny way. The audience laughed out loudly. I felt a little angry because Swift is my favourite star. I couldn’t understand why they laughed at Swift.
As time goes on, I find many US people make fun of others. But they don’t mean to hurt them. They do that to show closeness and humour. And people who are laughed at seldom get angry. Now I understand the speaker at the square. Now I’ve got used to the way the US people speak.
It’s easy to find culture shock when you’re in a new place. But everyone should learn to understand different cultures and customs.

科目:初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源: 題型:完型填空

What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
  Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
  Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
【小題1】We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.

A.learning better at school shows power in your job
B.the better you are at school subjects, the more helpful they are in your career.
C.learning each subject well is an ability in many jobs.
D.we should think about how to find our career
【小題2】From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he  will _____.
A.have no hope in his future work
B.be hopeful to find a suitable job
C.regret not having worked harder at school
D.have an opportunity of a new beginning in his future work
【小題3】All the subjects may have direct value for job hunting except _________.
A.mathematicsB.EnglishC.historyD.technical drawing
【小題4】 The passage mainly discusses ___________.
A.The relationship between school performance and career
B.how to get a job
C.How to show strengths in your work
D.working experience and knowledge at school
