Ⅴ.阅读理解
For more than a century, it was a simple way of making a child's dreams come true during Christmas. Volunteers could go to the post office, sift through piles of letters that children had sent to Santa Claus and pick one—or more—that tugged at their heartstrings. Gifts were then acquired, wrapped(包装) and shipped to families whose space beneath the tree might otherwise be bare(空的)．
With the coronavirus pandemic(流行病) still wild, however, the US Postal Service announced on November 16, 2020 that it was taking its annual “Operation Santa” campaign nationwide, and that letters to Santa could be only read online by people across the country.
Some things aren't changing: Much as it had over the past 108 years, the Postal Service said that it was inviting American children to write letters and to mail them to the North Pole.
In 2020, however, the letters were uploaded(上传) to the Operation Santa website, so long as they were readable and made specific requests for items like toys, clothes or games. The programme provided kids and families with an opportunity to receive gifts during the holidays from anonymous, generous postal customers.
Those customers used to review the letters in person, but Operation Santa has moved largely online in recent years after a pilot programme(试播节目) in 2017. “By 2019, the online operation had expanded to 15 cities to enhance the ability for generous people across the nation to help those in need no matter where they live，” said Frum.
“It seems like a small thing，” Frum said. “But for anyone who is struggling,__it's a huge deal to be able to give or receive a gift and share in a bit of joy.”
(　　)22.What is the meaning of the underlined sentence
A．Every family will get a Christmas gift.
B．Gifts will be given to families with many Christmas trees.
C．Families with nothing beneath their Christmas trees may receive gifts.
D．The gifts were sent to the house with plenty of space.
(　　)23.What can we learn from the second paragraph
A．The “Operation Santa” campaign was not held in 2020.
B．The letters to Santa were read by the whole nation on the Internet.
C．The campaign was not affected by the coronavirus pandemic at all.
D．People from all over the world could read the letters.
(　　)24.The letters were uploaded to the website as long as they were ________．
A．written by the children
B．from the anonymous customers
C．difficult to read
D．easy to read and made specific requests
(　　)25.What does the underlined word “struggling” mean in Chinese
A．认真的 B．消沉的 C．困难的 D．努力的
(　　)26.Which is RIGHT according to the passage
A．The online operation had expanded to 15 cities by 2017.
B．The Postal Service mailed the letters to Santa.
C．The letters from children were not uploaded online.
D．Gifts could be from anonymous and generous customers.
Ⅵ.2020·永州任务型阅读
In China, the 12th month of the lunar calendar(阴历) is called Layue. The month is full of interesting festivals and customs.
Laba Festival, which is on the 8th day of Layue, is the first festival in this month. From this day on, people begin to get ready for the Chinese New Year.
On Laba Festival, people eat hot Laba porridge. There are usually eight things in the porridge: rice, red beans, peas, dried lotus seeds, dates, and three different kinds of fruits and nuts. The porridge is not just good for your health, but a blessing for the coming of Chinese New Year.
Laba porridge is not the only tasty food in Layue. Laba garlic(腊八蒜) is popular in the north. People begin to soak garlic in vinegar from that day on, and eat it with dumplings during the Chinese New Year. While in the south, people like making sausages.
Another major celebration before the Spring Festival is Xiaonian. It is usually on the 23rd or 24th day of the last lunar month. Traditionally it is an important day when people offer sacrifices(祭品) to the Kitchen God who looks after the family.
Don't forget to clean your home. This is also an important thing to do to prepare for the Chinese New Year. It means sweeping away the dust of the old year and welcoming a fresh start. Now, the last thing for you to do is to wait for the coming Spring Festival.
