On Easter morning, as the first rays of the sun lighten the sky at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the plaintive (哀伤的) sounds of trombones (长号) call the townspeople to Moravian(摩拉维亚教派) Burying Ground where they welcome the rising sun with songs of praise: Christ is risen.
In similar ceremonies throughout the land millions of people gather on hilltops, parks, churches and open spaces to salute (致敬) another Easter dawn. There is a resurrection of hope and joy as the earth reawakens to another spring, New life emerges: young lambs, fresh green grass, and delicate (纤细的) blooms appear. Days are growing longer and there is more warmth in the sun. Birds sing and the world rings with gladness.
One of the holiest days of Christendom (基督教教界), Easter commemorates (纪念) Christ's resurrection (复活) from the tomb where he had lain for three days following his crucifixion (钉死于十字架上) When he arose after the three days it was to fulfill his promise to rise again as proof of eternal life.
Although Easter is based on events in the life on Christ, older traditions have influenced the customs of the festival. The name Easter itself derives from the ancient Norse (挪威人) festival of spring sun (Eastre) which celebrated the awakening of new life and the death of winter. The Christian Easter gradually replaced the pagan (异教的) festival, but some of the rites (仪式), of spring were retained since Christ’s resurrection had occurred during that season.
Celebration of Easter by early settlers in the United States mirrored their European backgrounds. In the regions settled by those of Roman Catholic (罗马天主教) heritage (传统) Easter was observed from the beginning. But the straight-laced [古板的]Puritans in New England, still influenced by the British prohibition (禁止) against what they considered profane (亵渎的) celebrations of Christmas and Easter, did not observe either holiday.
Easter is now celebrated throughout the country, although the customs, traceable to the different ethnic heritages, still vary with the regions. The German-Americans of Pennsylvania, for instance, preserve the custom of eating fried crullers(一种油煎饼) on Shrove Tuesday (大斋节的前一天); and those of Greek origin take part in a funeral procession following a flower- decked bier (棺材) bearing the figure of Christ.
1．The Easter comes most probably in ________.
[ ]
A．June
B．September
C．April
D．December
2．Which of the following statement about the Easter is tree?
[ ]
A．The Easter is only one of religion holy days.
B．The Easter just celebrates the renewing of the nature.
C．All people throughout the Christendom celebrated the Easter since the beginning.
D．Different ethic groups celebrate the Easter in a different way.
3．The Easter was not celebrated by ________ in the early days of the United States.
[ ]
A．those with Roman Catholic tradition
B．the Germans settled in Pennsylvania
C．the Puritans from the Britain
D．those with Greek origin
4．Which of the following is closest to the meaning of the word “observe” (in Line 3, para. 5)?
[ ]
A．Watch carefully.
B．Comment.
C．Obey.
D．Celebrate.
5．The Christian Easter maintains some ceremonies of Spring because ________.
[ ]
A．the Easter comes in Spring
B．the Christians like Spring in which new life emerges
C．it is an old Norse festival
D．Christ's resurrection had happened in Spring

Christmas was an exciting season for my six-year-old son. For weeks, he’d been memorizing 36 for the “Winter Ceremony” in his kindergarten class. I went to 37 their rehearsal(排演).

My son’s class rose to sing “Christmas Love”. Those in the front row on the center stage held up large 40 , one by one, to spell out the 41 of the song. When the class sang: “C is for Christmas,” a child would hold up the letter C, then another would hold up “H” for happy, and on and on, 42 each child was holding up a letter, presenting the 43 message, “Christmas Love”.
The performance was going 44 , until suddenly we noticed her, a small, quiet girl in the 45 row holding the letter “M” upside down-totally 46 that her letter “M” appeared as a “W”.

Teresa was born in Yugoslavia on August 27,1910. Her parents were Albanians(阿尔巴尼亚人) and member of the Roman Catholic Church. When she was seven years old, her father was murdered. She decided not to be filled with hate because of this tragedy(悲剧). Instead, she would seek a life of love. This ambition led her to Ireland where she became a nun(修女) at the age of eighteen.
After only one year of training, she was sent to India to teach in a school called Loretto House, where the students were mostly from rich Indian families. After 15 years there, she left her duties as a teacher to “follow Christ into the slums(贫民窟).” Her heart led her away from the rich to the needs of the poor. She was then 36 years old.
Teresa no longer was affiliated(隶属) with the Irish nuns who sent her to Loreto House but worked independently. However, her work was recognised by the Pope in Rome for she still was a nun. He allowed her to set up her own group, which was called the Missionaries of Charity(仁爱传教修女会).
She no longer dressed as a nun in the European or Irish tradition. Instead, she put on a sari, the local dress of the Indian people. At first, people were sceptical(怀疑的) about her motives. Soon, they realised she was really interested in loving poor people, even those who were dying and had no chance of survival.
Soon, other Indian people began to spare time to help Mother Teresa. She had taught everyone that the poor and dying people need love most of all.
In 1979, she won the Nobel Peace Prize.
【小题1】Why did Mother Teresa become a nun?
| A．Her father was killed. | B．The hate of her father’s death. |
| C．She was looking for a life of love. | D．The poor life of her childhood. |
| A．To be a teacher was too tired | B．The students in Loretto House were rich. |
| C．She was tired of teaching. | D．The poor in the slums needed her care. |
| A．Mother Teresa was a Catholic. |
| B．“Sari” is an Indian word that means clothing. |
| C．At first people didn’t believe her motives. |
| D．She served poor people in the slums as a teacher. |
| A．regular assistance | B．food and shelter |
| C．to care for the poor of the earth | D．protection |

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
For many people Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. One of the reasons people love it so much is that you get presents. But like presents, Christmas needs to be unwrapped so that you can understand the true meaning behind the day.
Many Chinese believe everyone in Western countries celebrate this holiday. That is not true. Christmas is an important religious holiday for Christians. December 25 represents the birthday of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the son of God.
Christianity (基督教) is a very popular religion in America and Europe. However, there are many other religions, too. People who celebrate those religions don’t celebrate Christmas. But during the winter season they usually have their own important holiday. That is why when talking to a foreigner it is safer to say, “ Happy holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas” because you never know his/her religious background.
The image of a fat, happy man in red---Santa Claus---has come to represent the idea of goodness and love instead of religious part or the “Christmas spirit”. Santa Claus is based on a man named Saint Nicholas who was a 4th century Greek Christian.
Saint Nicholas bought presents for children and gave them away anonymously(匿名地). This is where the idea of gift on Christmas began. But the Santa Claus didn’t exist until the 19th century when an American named Thomas Nast drew cartoons of him. So really, Santa has nothing to do with the religious holiday.
In fact, some people who celebrate Christmas don’t really care about Santa Claus.
Christmas is a special day for Christians but the ideas of being good and loving your neighbors are not limited to Christianity. So buy a gift for your friend, tell your mother you love her and have merry Christmas. I mean ,”Happy holidays!”
56. Christians believe December 25 represents the birthday of _________.
A. Santa Claus B. God C. Jesus Christ D. Thomas Nast
57. In the passage, the author thinks __________.
A. Santa Claus was a real person in the past
B. everyone should believe in Christianity
C. all people in Western countries celebrate Christmas
D. Santa Claus has nothing to do with Christmas holiday
58. What is “the true meaning” in the first passage?
A. For many people Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year
B. The Westerners have different religious backgrounds
C. Some like to say “Merry Christmas”, and others like to say “Happy holidays”
D. Being good and loving our neighbors are the virtues of all humans
59. What is the CORRECT explanation of Santa Claus?
A. He was a Greek Christian in the 4th century
B. He was an American who was born in the 19th century
C. His image represents the “Christmas spirit”
D. He was a cartoon figure drawn by Thomas Nast
