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 per cent 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 Macys', 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 it 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.
36. Christmas has been celebrated ________.
A. for over 3,000 years B. for over 1,600 years
C. since the start of the 21st century D. for 400 years

It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.
First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that we are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when we are trying new things, we are growing. If we never try anything new, how can we improve How can we expand The simple answer is “We can’t”. Around us, everything in our physical world is the result of someone trying something new.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: When we are making mistakes, we are learning. Consider this-Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when we make a mistake, we are much closer to success. Why Because when all is said and done, we will have tried some number of things before we succeeded. Every time we make a mistake, we eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.
But all this doesn’t mean that we should go through life without considering the result of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when we try something new, we have to be willing to set some reasonable limits. We shouldn’t do anything blindly. Because we all have limited resources—in the form of time and money, so we must realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and arrange these resources appropriately so we can learn, make corrections, and try it again.

五.阅读表达.每题2分
阅读短文, 按照题目要求用英语回答问题
It was 3: 34 in the morning. Suddenly the bed moved a little. I woke up. That bed used to move a lot so I just thought it was my wife rolling (翻)over. I looked over to her and she was fast asleep. So I thought it was just another small tremor (轻微地震). We used to get many small tremors in Chile. But then everything in the room started making noise. The tremor got a bit stronger. My wife woke up.
I went to open the front door to make sure it wouldn’t get stuck while my wife went to see how the kids were. They were still fast asleep.
I got to the front door and left it open. When I turned around to go back to the bedroom, the full force of the earthquake started to hit. I couldn’t move forward. While I was trying to hold myself up against the wall, I looked out the window. It was frightening, some buildings coming in and out of view and some already falling down. Then the earthquake made a strong push and our lights went out. In the darkness, I thought, “This is it! We’re not coming out of this alive. ”
Luckily, the violent(剧烈的)shaking gradually slowed down and then stopped. I could finally walk to our children’s room. My wife had been standing over them during the strongest part of the earthquake, making sure nothing fell on them.
After such a big earthquake, we expected the “smaller” aftershocks to be still very strong. There was still a chance that the building could collapse. So we woke the kids up, got some basic things and started to walk down the emergency(紧急情况)stairs. . . all 22 floors of them.
When we finally arrived at the ground floor many other people had already arrived, some in pajamas (睡衣), some half-dressed. The good news was everyone got out of the building safe and sound.
46. What woke the author up (no more than 10 words)
_______________________________________________
47. When did the earthquake get really strong (no more than 10 words)
_______________________________________________
48. What happened when the author looked out the window (no more than 15 words)
_______________________________________________
49. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 5 probably mean (no more than 3 words)
_______________________________________________
50. When an earthquake comes, what should we do if we are in the room Please explain. (no more than 25 words)
_______________________________________________
【答案】46. The movement of his bed.
47. The author was on his way to the bedroom.
48. Some buildings were shaking and some had fell down.
49. Fall down.
50. We should hide into solid furniture, such as desk and solid bed. Be careful not to hide in the outer wall, window, or elevator room, not jump off the building. Because they are dangerous.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了作者亲身经历的一次地震。
【46题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Suddenly the bed moved a little. I woke up.(床突然动了一下。我醒了)”可知，床的晃动惊醒了作者。故填The movement of his bed.
【47题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“When I turned around to go back to the bedroom, the full force of the earthquake started to hit.(当我转身回到卧室时，地震的全部力量开始袭来)”可知，作者回卧室的路上地震真的很强烈。故填The author was on his way to the bedroom.
【48题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“While I was trying to hold myself up against the wall I looked out the window. It was frightening, some buildings coming in and out of view and some already falling down.(当我试图让自己靠在墙上时，我向窗外看去。这是可怕的，一些建筑在视野中进进出出，一些已经倒塌)”可知，当作者向窗外看时，他住的那幢楼一直在晃动。故填Some buildings were shaking and some had fell down.
【49题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据划线词前一句“we expected the ‘smaller’ aftershocks to be still very strong(我们预计‘较小’的余震仍然非常强烈)”及划线词后“So we woke the kids up, got some basic things and started to walk down the emergency stairs all 22 floors of them.(所以我们叫醒了孩子们，准备了一些基本的东西，然后开始走下紧急楼梯，总共22层楼)”可知，可能还有强烈的余震，所以楼可能会倒塌，于是作者叫醒孩子下楼，由此可推知，划线词所在句意为“大楼仍有可能倒塌”。collapse意为“倒塌”。故填Fall down.。
【50题详解】
开放性题目。根据题干“When an earthquake comes, what should we do if we are in the room Please explain.(当地震来临时，如果我们在房间里该怎么办？请解释一下。)”可知，本题为开放性试题，回答合理即可。故“我们应该躲进结实的家具里，比如桌子，结实的床。注意不要躲在外墙、窗户或电梯间，更不要跳楼。因为这些很危险。”故答案为：We should hide into solid furniture, such as desk and solid bed. Be careful not to hide in the outer wall, window, or elevator room, not jump off the building. Because they are dangerous.

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 per cent 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 Macys', 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 it 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.
36 Christmas has been celebrated ________.
A. for over 3,000 years B. for over 1,600 years
C. since the start of the 21st century D. for 400 years
37. Christmas is important for shops because ________.
A. they can stay open later B. they are beautifully decorated
C. much of the income is made D. more people go shopping
38. Christmas trees are popular because ________.
A. they make people think of Germany B. they are easy and cheap to get
C. they lose their leaves in winter D. they make people think of spring
39. Father Christmas is ________.
A. a real person who lives in Finland B. a magical story for kids
C. a character in a film D. a real person who makes toys
40. Which of the following statements is Not True

It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.
First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that we are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when we are trying new things, we are growing. If we never try anything new, how can we improve How can we expand The simple answer is “We can’t”. Around us, everything in our physical world is the result of someone trying something new.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: When we are making mistakes we are learning. Consider this-Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when we make a mistake, we are much closer to success. Why Because when all is said and done, we will have tried some number of things before we succeeded. Every time we make a mistake, we eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.
But all this doesn’t mean that we should go through life without considering the result of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when we try something new, we have to be willing to set some reasonable limits. We shouldn’t do anything blindly. Because we all have limited resources—in the form of time and money, so we must realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and arrange these resources appropriately so we can learn, make corrections, and try it again. Only by accepting and using our mistakes in this way can we make significant advances in our lives.
There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.” So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow.
41. From the second paragraph, we can conclude that ______.
A. mistakes are unnecessary for development
B. mistakes let us see our own limits
C. it’s common for people to make mistakes
D. making mistakes is better than not trying
42. According to the passage, if we try new things, we can ______.
A. move forward B. never fail C. obtain nothing D. be closer to mistakes
43. The underlined word “eliminate” means ______.
A. make up for B. get rid of C. choose D. solve
44. According to the passage, one thing we should pay attention to about making mistakes is ______.
A. avoiding making the same mistakes
B. accepting the outcome willingly
C. making proper arrangements for our next try
D. hiding the results after each mistake
45. The article is mainly about ______.
A. how to deal with mistakes
B. what benefits making mistakes brings
C. how to achieve success
D how to make use of our mistakes

It was 3: 34 in the morning. Suddenly the bed moved a little. I woke up. That bed used to move a lot so I just thought it was my wife rolling (翻)over. I looked over to her and she was fast asleep. So I thought it was just another small tremor (轻微地震). We used to get many small tremors in Chile. But then everything in the room started making noise. The tremor got a bit stronger. My wife woke up.
I went to open the front door to make sure it wouldn’t get stuck while my wife went to see how the kids were. They were still fast asleep.
I got to the front door and left it open. When I turned around to go back to the bedroom, the full force of the earthquake started to hit. I couldn’t move forward. While I was trying to hold myself up against the wall, I looked out the window. It was frightening, some buildings coming in and out of view and some already falling down. Then the earthquake made a strong push and our lights went out. In the darkness, I thought, “This is it! We’re not coming out of this alive. ”
Luckily, the violent(剧烈的)shaking gradually slowed down and then stopped. I could finally walk to our children’s room. My wife had been standing over them during the strongest part of the earthquake, making sure nothing fell on them.
After such a big earthquake, we expected the “smaller” aftershocks to be still very strong. There was still a chance that the building could collapse. So we woke the kids up, got some basic things and started to walk down the emergency(紧急情况)stairs. . . all 22 floors of them.
When we finally arrived at the ground floor many other people had already arrived, some in pajamas (睡衣), some half-dressed. The good news was everyone got out of the building safe and sound.
