【题目】阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
It takes a lot of skills and hard work to set a world record in pumpkin-carving(雕刻南瓜). Steve Clarke, a sixth-grade teacher from Pennsylvania, is a famous carver(雕刻师). Clarke has set many world records for carving pumpkins quickly. When he competes, he must cut our two eyes, two eyebrows, a nose, a mouth, and two ears as fast as possible. But Clarke knows something else about pumpkin-carving. It's easier to get a record than to keep it.
He took the title in 2000 when he carved a pumpkin face in 74.8 seconds. That time was 19 seconds faster than what Jerry had set. From then on, Clarke broke his own records five times. In 2006, he set his best time in Florida. His winning time was 24.03 seconds!
The only problem is that someone finally beat that mark. On October 7, 2010, David set the new record with 20.1 seconds. Clarke was not able to break that record this year, but he has planned to break the record. After Halloween, he will go to local pumpkin farms to practise designs and new skills.
Clarke is popular because of his super pumpkin-carving skills. In 1999, he carved more than 30 pumpkins at the Halloween party for then vice-president Al Gore.

【题目】 After a busy morning at work, lunchtime gives me a chance to do many things,such as exercising, reading or watching TV. One cultural difference I've noticed b 【1】Britain and China is what we do during lunchtime.
Here in China, workers have I【2】 lunch breaks, which gives them enough time to take a short nap （午睡）. Therefore, Chinese people usually u 【3】 lunchtime to have a break. I often see office workers r 【4】 their heads on their desks. The room turns into a q 【5】 “bedroom”. Once, I even saw workers in a restaurant taking short naps as well. This is also very common for students in China. After lunch, they will go b 【6】 to their dormitories （宿舍） or classrooms to take a nap. Chinese people b 【7】 a short nap at noon can help them feel more energetic （精力充沛的） in the afternoon.
In Britain, this a 【8】 is quite uncommon. British students usually have a one-hour lunch break. I【9】 of napping, they fill that time by playing sports or talking with friends. Most British workers don't get the chance to nap. They generally have short lunch breaks --from 30 minutes to an hour. It is common for people to work t 【10】 lunch or just finish their lunch at their desk just because of the shortness of their lunch breaks. There is not enough time to have a nap. .

【题目】阅读下面材料, 从每题所给的A, B, C, D四个选项中选出最佳选项。B
A small, white envelope(信封) stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree and it has been there for the past ten years or so.
It all began because my husband Justin hated Christmas—oh, not the true meaning of Christmas. Overspending was one thing, but compared to the difficult experience of choosing gifts—running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and a pair of gloves for Grandma…… spending money is nothing. I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.
Knowing Justin felt the same way, I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin. The inspiration came in an unusual way.
Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling(摔跤) at the junior level at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team sponsored(赞助) by an inner-city church. These youngsters, dressed in such worn out shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.
As the match began, I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without wearing helmets(头盔) to protect their ears. Well, our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.
Justin, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, "I wish just one of them could have won," he said. "They have a lot of potential(潜力), but losing like this could take the heart out of them." Justin loved kids-all kids, and he knew them, having coached little league football and baseball. That's when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to inner-city church without leaving my name.
On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas.

（4）Why did the writer send gifts to the inner-city church without leaving her name?
A.To avoid being thanked.
B.To play a joke on Justin.
C.To give Justin a surprise.
D.To protect her private information.
（5）Which of the following can be the true meaning of Christmas according to the passage?
A.The church gift.
