Christmas Traditions
Since about 400 AD, Christmas Day has been celebrated on 25th December. This date was the old mid winter festival in pre Christian times, around the time of the longest night and the shortest day. Christmas in the 21st century has many traditions.
Shops can make about 60 percent of their year’s income in the three months before Christmas. So most shops get ready for it in October. The shopping centres are beautifully decorated and stay open late at night. The first time this happened was in 1867 when Macy’s, a famous shop in New York, stayed open until midnight on Christmas Eve (24th December).
By mid December, almost every house, shop and street has a Christmas tree. This tradition was started by the Germans as early as 700 AD. In the northern countries of the world, winter is cold and dark and most trees lose their leaves. The beautiful green trees decorated with lights and coloured glass balls give people hope that spring will come again.
Father Christmas is known across the world with his white hair, red coat and big bag of toys. Young children are told that he lives in the north of Finland and makes toys for them. By tradition, he brings the toys to children at midnight, on the night before Christmas.
On Christmas day a traditional meal is eaten, usually turkey and a rich, spicy cake. Some people hate Christmas. Others feel it is a magical and exciting time. They love seeing family and friends; they also love the traditions. Love it or hate it, Christmas is a time to look back over the old year and forward to the new one.

(2022·江苏省苏州外国语学校高一下学期期中考试)Preparing for exams Give yourself the best chance with these study tips, and try not to let the stress get to you! Remember: you’ve got this.
Give yourself enough time to study. 1 While some students do seem to succeed depending on last minute hard work, it’s widely accepted that this is not the best way. To help sort out your time management, set up a timetable for your study and organize it accordingly.
Use flow charts and diagrams. 2 At the start of a topic, challenge yourself to write down everything you already know about a topic—and then highlight where the gaps lie. Closer to the exam, simplify your revision notes into one page diagrams, which can help you to quickly recall everything you need during the exam.
Explain your answers to others. Take advantage of your parents and little brothers and sisters around exam time. Explain an answer to a question to them. 3
4 You may think it’s best to study for as many hours as possible. However, this can turn out to be the opposite. Studies have shown that for long term memory of knowledge, taking regular breaks really helps.
Plan your exam day. 5 Don’t leave it to the day before to suddenly realize you don’t know the way, or what you’re supposed to bring. Check all the rules and requirements, and plan your route and journey time. If possible, do a test run of the trip. If not, write down clear directions.
A．Take regular breaks.
B．Think about what works for you.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了影响英国历史的四个不同历史时期的统治者留下的文化。
1．evidence 考查词性转换。句意：在英国，无论你走到哪里，你都能看到四个不同群体的人在历史上不同时期掌权的证据。设空处应用名词作宾语，evidence “证据”，抽象概念，不可数。故填evidence。
2．achievements 考查名词。句意：他们的一些伟大成就包括建造城镇和道路。achievement “成就”是可数名词，some of后应用名词复数。故填achievements。
3．who 考查定语从句的引导词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，解释说明先行词the Anglo Saxons，指人，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who。故填who。
4．slowly 考查词性转换。句意：最后一群诺曼人是法国人，所以很多法语单词慢慢地进入了英语，他们在英国各地修建了城堡。修饰动词entered应用副词作状语。故填slowly。
5．built 考查非谓语动词。设空处作宾补，与had castles构成“have＋宾语＋宾补”结构，build和逻辑主语castles之间是被动关系，应用过去分词。故填built。
6．and 考查连词。句意：关于英国有趣的历史和文化，还有很多要学习的。interesting history和culture of the United Kingdom并列作learn about的宾语，应用and连接。故填and。
7．enjoyable 考查词性转换。句意：学习这个国家的历史会使你的旅行更愉快。根据“make＋宾语＋宾补”可知，设空处应用形容词作宾语补足语，enjoyable“令人愉快的，有趣的”。故填enjoyable。
8．an 考查冠词。此处泛指“一个古老的港口城市”，应用不定冠词修饰，且ancient的发音是元音音素开头。故填an。
9．dating 考查非谓语动词。date back to和history之间是主动关系，应用现在分词作后置定语。故填dating。
10．to find 考查非谓语动词。be surprised to do sth “惊讶地做某事”，应用不定式作状语。故填to find。
