Las Vegas CES Report
Each year people who are crazy about high-tech goods and tools head to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronic Show (CES). Below we have listed some of the latest and greatest things that we saw.
The AI-powered suitcase
If you’re the kind of person who comes out of the airport coffee shop and realise 10 minutes later that you’ve left your suitcase there, the AI-powered suitcase is for you.
With five cameras in its handle, it comes with a special wristband (腕带) that you wear, so if you move too far away from the suitcase’s cameras, the wristband vibrates (震动), and the suitcase follows the vibrates.
The solar-powered stove
Advertised as “fast”, “practical” and “fuel-free”, this special stove will cook your food with solar power only. The food is placed in a vacuum tube within a solar-powered device. The stoves come in different sizes; there is even a size that you can comfortably take with you if you go hiking.
The smell-based alarm clock
Created in France, where people enjoy the finer things in life, this alarm will wake people with the sweet smells they enjoy. The producers believe that they will make your mornings happier with a sweet wake-up smell: baked croissant, expresso coffee, the seaside, chocolate…
The dual-system TV
TCL knows that good software is the key to success when it comes to consumer TVs. This year’s models will come with the option for either Android or Roku OS, allowing you to choose which of the two best TV operating systems you prefer.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“With five cameras in its handle, it comes with a special wristband that you wear, so if you move too far away from the suitcase’s cameras, the wristband vibrates, and the suitcase follows the vibrates. ”(它的手柄上有5个摄像头,你还可以佩戴一个特殊的腕带,所以如果你离行李箱的摄像头太远,腕带就会震动,行李箱也会跟着震动。)可知,人工智能手提箱应该和特殊腕带一起使用。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Advertised as “fast”, “practical” and “fuel-free”, this special stove will cook your food with solar power only. The food is placed in a vacuum tube within a solar-powered device. The stoves come in different sizes; there is even a size that you can comfortably take with you if you go hiking.”(这种特殊的炉子被宣传为“快速”、“实用”和“无燃料”,只需要太阳能就能烹饪食物。食物被放置在一个太阳能装置内的真空管中。这些炉子有不同的大小,如果你去徒步旅行,甚至有一种尺寸可以让你舒适地随身携带。)可知,徒步旅行时可以携带太阳能炉子烹饪食物。故选B项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章介绍的四款工具“The AI-powered suitcase”(人工智能行李箱),“The solar-powered stove”(太阳能炉灶),“The smell-based alarm clock”(气味闹钟)和“The dual-system TV”(双系统电视)可知,他们都和我们的日常生活息息相关。故选D项。
B
Everyone tries their best in life, and sometimes a few kind words of encouragement can help people realize that their efforts are not in vain (徒劳). I remember a time when I was in fifth grade, and I was a very shy girl.
There was a drawing competition at my school that day. As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind. She came to me and encouraged me, saying, “Don’t overthink it, just put whatever comes to your mind on the canvas (画布). Do your best, and you will do well.”
Taking her words of wisdom to heart, I started my painting. Time flew by, and soon the bell rang, signaling the end of the time limit. We all turned in our canvases for inspection (检查). The next day, the winners of the competition were announced in front of the whole school. To my surprise, I heard my name being called second prize. It was a bolt from the blue for me, as I had never dared to dream of winning any prize.
Later on, I expressed my gratitude to my art teacher for her words of encouragement and for believing in me. That day, I became aware of my talent and started painting more whenever I had free time. Sometimes, I think that if it weren’t for her words of encouragement, I may have never discovered the talent I have.
Overall, this experience taught me the importance of encouraging others and how a few kind words can make a significant impact on someone’s life.
4. What was the author doing when called by the art teacher
A. Organizing a drawing competition. B. Trying to get some creative ideas.
C. Painting her work on her canvas. D. Trying to get help from others.
5. What did the author think of the competition
A. Easy. B. Interesting. C. Challenging. D. Encouraging.
6. What do the underlined words “bolt from the blue” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Addiction. B. Puzzlement. C. Disappointment. D. Surprise.
7. What message does the text intend to convey
A. The power of encouragement can be huge.
B. The importance of art competitions is easy to see.
C. Overcoming shyness through painting is worth trying.
D. Discovering your great natural ability is the key to success.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己的一次参赛经历来证明鼓励的重要性。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind.(当每个人都开始用他们的创意来画画时,我只是想一些能表达我想法和情绪的创意。我迷失在自己的世界里,当我的艺术老师从背后呼唤我的名字时,我又回到了现实)”可知,当艺术老师叫作者时,作者正在努力获得一些富有创造力的思路。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind. She came to me and encouraged me, saying, “Don’t overthink it, just put whatever comes to your mind on the canvas (画布). Do your best, and you will do well.”(当每个人都开始用他们的创意来画画时,我只是想一些能表达我想法和情绪的创意。我迷失在自己的世界里,当我的艺术老师从背后呼唤我的名字时,我又回到了现实。她走到我面前鼓励我,说:“不要想得太多,只要把你想到的都写在画布上。尽你所能,你就会做得很好。”)”可知,别的学生已经开始画画了,但是作者还在苦苦构思;且艺术老师对作者说:“不要想太多,只要把你想到的东西画在画布上就行了。”这些都说明作者觉得这次比赛对自己来说很难,很有挑战性。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“To my surprise, I heard my name being called second prize. It was a bolt from the blue for me, as I had never dared to dream of winning any prize.(令我惊讶的是,我听到二等奖里有自己的名字。这对我来说是bolt from the blue,因为我从来不敢梦想赢得任何奖项)”可知,作者做梦都不敢想能得到任何奖品,所以听到自己获奖的消息后感到非常惊讶,划线部分表示“震惊,惊讶”,与surprise同义。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Overall, this experience taught me the importance of encouraging others and how a few kind words can make a significant impact on someone’s life.(总的来说,这段经历教会了我鼓励他人的重要性,以及几句友善的话如何对某人的生活产生重大影响)”以及文章内容可知,作者通过讲述自己的一次参赛经历来证明鼓励的重要性,所以“鼓励的力量是巨大的”是本文所表达的主要意思。故选A。
C
Cristina Mittermeier is a marine biologist, activist and multi-award-winning photographer who has given her life to ocean protection. Recognised as being one of the world’s most influential conservation photographers, Cristina has travelled to 132 countries to achieve her goal — to communicate the immediate need to protect wild places.
She began her career as a marine biologist, but soon realised that she could better work for the interests of the oceans and the planet through her camera than with scientific data. In her eyes, science is basic to understanding what is happening to our planet, but it fails to convey (传递) the emotions that make us care.
According to Cristina, photography allows us to humanise (使人性化) stories and create something meaningful, and she had an urgent need to share the difficult situation of the planet. For her, it’s all about the emotional connections we can establish with the subject matter. She loves creating pictures that engages people in conversations and makes them stop and think. Establishing a successful career as a photographer has not been an easy journey. She worked hard at teaching herself the basics of photography and then she went back to school to learn more about the underpinnings of fine art.
When asked what has inspired her focus on marine life, she replied, “The ocean is barely mentioned but it is the largest ecosystem on our planet and is the ecosystem that has the most influence on Earth. It absorbs at least 25% of all emissions and most of the heat on our planet. I want people to recognise that the ocean isn’t just hurt by climate change — it is our solution. If our oceans die — and they are dying — we will die with them. Life on Earth is not possible without a living ocean.”
8. What goal did Cristina intend to achieve in her travels
A. To take more wonderful pictures.
B. To urge people to protect the wild places.
C. To work for the non-for-profit organization.
D. To become the world’s most influential photographer.
9. What makes Cristina think she can better work as a photographer
A. She was bored with her career as a marine biologist.
B. She can’t understand what is happening to our planet.
C. She can convey emotional information through her camera.
D. She wants to establish a successful career as a photographer.
10. Why does Cristina focus on the ocean
A. Because of the marine life.
B. Because of the great emissions.
C. Because of her love for the ocean.
D. Because of the ocean’s importance.
11. Which of the following can best describe Cristina
A Powerful. B. Patient. C. Responsible. D. Intelligent.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了环保摄影师Cristina Mittermeier通过自身努力致力于海洋保护的经历。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Recognised as being one of the world’s most influential conservation photographers, Cristina has travelled to 132 countries to achieve her goal — to communicate the immediate need to protect wild places. (Cristina被认为是世界上最具影响力的自然保护摄影师之一,为了实现她的目标,她走遍了132个国家——向人们传达保护野生环境的迫切需要)”可知,Cristina旅行的目的是呼吁人们保护野生环境。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“In her eyes, science is basic to understanding what is happening to our planet, but it fails to convey (传递) the emotions that make us care. (在她看来,科学是理解地球正在发生的事情的基础,但它无法传达让我们关心的情感)”和第三段中“According to Cristina, photography allows us to humanise (使人性化) stories and create something meaningful, and she had an urgent need to share the difficult situation of the planet. (根据Cristina的说法,摄影可以让我们把故事人性化,创造出有意义的东西,她迫切需要分享地球上的困境)”可知,Cristina认为与科学相比,摄影可以创造出有意义的东西,传达人的情感。由此可知,她觉得自己更适合当摄影师是因为她可以通过相机传达情感信息。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The ocean is barely mentioned but it is the largest ecosystem on our planet and is the ecosystem that has the most influence on Earth. It absorbs at least 25% of all emissions and most of the heat on our planet. I want people to recognise that the ocean isn’t just hurt by climate change — it is our solution. (海洋很少被提及,但它是我们星球上最大的生态系统,也是对地球影响最大的生态系统。它吸收了地球上至少25%的排放物和大部分的热量。我希望人们认识到,海洋不仅受到气候变化的伤害——它也是我们的解决方案)”可知,海洋生态系统深刻影响着地球,可能是我们解决气候变化问题的方法。由此可知,海洋对我们非常重要,因此Cristina关注着海洋。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“Cristina Mittermeier is a marine biologist, activist and multi-award-winning photographer who has given her life to ocean protection. (Cristina Mittermeier是一位海洋生物学家、活动家和多次获奖的摄影师,她一生都致力于海洋保护)”可知,文章主要分享了Cristina致力于海洋保护的经历,她一开始是海洋生物学家,在意识到摄影可以更好地向人们情感信息后,她转而去做摄影师,学习各种知识,通过摄影创作吸引人们参与海洋保护。由此可知,她是一个有责任心的人。故选C项。
D
Many areas of the world suffer from low rainfall, and with climate change, the water shortage (短缺) is increasingly becoming a problem in some places. So more and more people, companies and governments are now looking for ways to make houses completely self-sufficient in water-providing it and dealing with it themselves.
In some houses in rural areas of Australia, the owners are doing exactly this. Although the houses are in a suburb called Gelorup, only 10 kilometres from the city of Bunbury, they do not have water supplied to them. Instead, water is collected on the roof and from the channels (排水沟) and then run into underground pipes that lead to a large water tank (箱). From the tank the water purified (净化) in the underground system is sent back to the house to meet all household needs from drinking to cleaning toilets. Because of this, no one in the households can use strong chemicals for cleaning and washing.
We produce different kinds of water waste from our homes. Black water is the waste water that comes from our toilets, but most of our waste water is actually grey water. This is the waste water produced by people having showers or baths, washing their hands or faces in the sink, and washing their clothes or dishes. However, while grey water is not drinkable, there are many ways in which it can be reused around the home. With water recycling systems, grey water can be collected and made safe enough to use on gardens and for cleaning toilets.
The process of treating and transporting water produces large amounts of carbon emissions. So if we all began to recycle our grey water, it could radically reduce the impact on the environment. The use of water recycling systems would also help with the problems of water shortage faced in many areas of the world. Water recycling, it seems, must have an important place in our future.
12. What information does paragraph 2 mainly tell us
A. Why the water should be recycled.
B. How the water recycling system works.
C. What difficulties the house owners are facing.
D. Why strong chemicals may be used for cleaning and washing.
13. What can we do to deal with the waste water
A. We should know the different kinds of waste water.
B. We should reduce it by not having showers or baths.
C. We should find some ways to reuse the recyclable waste water.
D. We should drink the waste water purified by water recycling systems.
14. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in the last paragraph
A. greatly B. creatively C. likely D. regularly
15. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A. Water recycling: the way of the future
B. Saving water: the immediate need
C. House owners: the different choice
D. Grey water: the most important point
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了水循环利用在我们的未来占有重要地位,重点介绍了回收利用灰水,这可以从根本上减少对环境的影响。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Although the houses are in a suburb called Gelorup, only 10 kilometres from the city of Bunbury, they do not have water supplied to them. Instead, water is collected on the roof and from the channels (排水沟) and then run into underground pipes that lead to a large water tank (箱). From the tank the water purified (净化) in the underground system is sent back to the house to meet all household needs from drinking to cleaning toilets. Because of this, no one in the households can use strong chemicals for cleaning and washing.(尽管这些房屋位于距离班伯里市仅10公里的格洛鲁普郊区,但他们没有供水。相反,水从屋顶和排水沟收集,然后流入通向大水箱的地下管道。地下系统中经过净化的水从水箱被送回房屋,以满足从饮用到清洁厕所的所有家庭需求。正因为如此,家庭中任何人都不能使用烈性化学品进行清洁和洗涤。)”可知,第二段主要介绍了水循环系统是如何工作的,故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, while grey water is not drinkable, there are many ways in which it can be reused around the home. With water recycling systems, grey water can be collected and made safe enough to use on gardens and for cleaning toilets.(然而,虽然灰水不可饮用,但可以通过多种方式在家里重复使用。通过水回收系统,可以收集灰水并使其足够安全,可用于花园和清洁厕所)”可知,许多废水可以通过多种方式在家里重复利用,由此可推知,我们应该找到一些方法来重新利用可回收的废水。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“The process of treating and transporting water produces large amounts of carbon emissions.(水处理和输送过程会产生大量碳排放。)”和划线单词所在句子“So if we all began to recycle our grey water, it could radically reduce the impact on the environment.(因此,如果我们都开始回收灰水,就可以radically减少对环境的影响。)”可知,水处理和输送过程会产生大量碳排放,对环境造成影响,如果我们开始回收利用灰水,就会减少水处理和输送过程中产生的大量碳排放,即很大程度上减少对环境的影响,large amounts of(大量的)是关键词,由此可知,划线单词意为“很大程度上”,与“greatly(极大地)”意为相近,故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“So more and more people, companies and governments are now looking for ways to make houses completely self-sufficient in water-providing it and dealing with it themselves.(因此,越来越多的人、公司和政府现在正在寻找使房屋完全自给自足的方法——自己提供水并处理水。)”和第三段中“However, while grey water is not drinkable, there are many ways in which it can be reused around the home.(然而,虽然灰水不可饮用,但可以通过多种方式在家里重复使用。)”和最后一段中“So if we all began to recycle our grey water, it could radically reduce the impact on the environment.(因此,如果我们都开始回收灰水,就可以从根本上减少对环境的影响。)”可知,文章主要介绍了水循环利用在我们的未来占有重要地位,重点介绍了回收利用灰水,这可以从根本上减少对环境的影响。D项“灰水:最重要的一点”适合做文章标题,故选D。

Las Vegas CES Report
Each year people who are crazy about high-tech goods and tools head to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronic Show (CES). Below we have listed some of the latest and greatest things that we saw.
The AI-powered suitcase
If you’re the kind of person who comes out of the airport coffee shop and realise 10 minutes later that you’ve left your suitcase there, the AI-powered suitcase is for you.
With five cameras in its handle, it comes with a special wristband (腕带) that you wear, so if you move too far away from the suitcase’s cameras, the wristband vibrates (震动), and the suitcase follows the vibrates.
The solar-powered stove
Advertised as “fast”, “practical” and “fuel-free”, this special stove will cook your food with solar power only. The food is placed in a vacuum tube within a solar-powered device. The stoves come in different sizes; there is even a size that you can comfortably take with you if you go hiking.
The smell-based alarm clock
Created in France, where people enjoy the finer things in life, this alarm will wake people with the sweet smells they enjoy. The producers believe that they will make your mornings happier with a sweet wake-up smell: baked croissant, expresso coffee, the seaside, chocolate…
The dual-system TV
TCL knows that good software is the key to success when it comes to consumer TVs. This year’s models will come with the option for either Android or Roku OS, allowing you to choose which of the two best TV operating systems you prefer.
1. What can we know about an AI-powered suitcase
A. It has four cameras.
B. Its handle is easy to operate.
C. It should be used with a wristband.
D. It will tell you the distance you move.
2. Which tool might you choose if you want to cook while hiking
A. The AI-powered suitcase. B. The solar-powered stove
C The smell-based alarm clock. D. The dual-system TV.
3. What do the four tools have in common
A. They are all AI-powered. B. They are all solar-powered.
C. They are all very expensive to get. D. They are all related to our daily life.
B
Everyone tries their best in life, and sometimes a few kind words of encouragement can help people realize that their efforts are not in vain (徒劳). I remember a time when I was in fifth grade, and I was a very shy girl.
There was a drawing competition at my school that day. As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind. She came to me and encouraged me, saying, “Don’t overthink it, just put whatever comes to your mind on the canvas (画布). Do your best, and you will do well.”
Taking her words of wisdom to heart, I started my painting. Time flew by, and soon the bell rang, signaling the end of the time limit. We all turned in our canvases for inspection (检查). The next day, the winners of the competition were announced in front of the whole school. To my surprise, I heard my name being called second prize. It was a bolt from the blue for me, as I had never dared to dream of winning any prize.
Later on, I expressed my gratitude to my art teacher for her words of encouragement and for believing in me. That day, I became aware of my talent and started painting more whenever I had free time.

Cristina Mittermeier is a marine biologist, activist and multi-award-winning photographer who has given her life to ocean protection. Recognised as being one of the world’s most influential conservation photographers, Cristina has travelled to 132 countries to achieve her goal — to communicate the immediate need to protect wild places.
She began her career as a marine biologist, but soon realised that she could better work for the interests of the oceans and the planet through her camera than with scientific data. In her eyes, science is basic to understanding what is happening to our planet, but it fails to convey (传递) the emotions that make us care.
According to Cristina, photography allows us to humanise (使人性化) stories and create something meaningful, and she had an urgent need to share the difficult situation of the planet. For her, it’s all about the emotional connections we can establish with the subject matter. She loves creating pictures that engages people in conversations and makes them stop and think. Establishing a successful career as a photographer has not been an easy journey. She worked hard at teaching herself the basics of photography and then she went back to school to learn more about the underpinnings of fine art.
When asked what has inspired her focus on marine life, she replied, “The ocean is barely mentioned but it is the largest ecosystem on our planet and is the ecosystem that has the most influence on Earth. It absorbs at least 25% of all emissions and most of the heat on our planet. I want people to recognise that the ocean isn’t just hurt by climate change — it is our solution. If our oceans die — and they are dying — we will die with them. Life on Earth is not possible without a living ocean.”
8. What goal did Cristina intend to achieve in her travels
A. To take more wonderful pictures.
B. To urge people to protect the wild places.
C. To work for the non-for-profit organization.
D. To become the world’s most influential photographer.
9. What makes Cristina think she can better work as a photographer
A. She was bored with her career as a marine biologist.
B. She can’t understand what is happening to our planet.
C. She can convey emotional information through her camera.
D. She wants to establish a successful career as a photographer.
10. Why does Cristina focus on the ocean
A. Because of the marine life.
B Because of the great emissions.
C. Because of her love for the ocean.
D. Because of the ocean’s importance.
11. Which of the following can best describe Cristina
A. Powerful. B. Patient. C. Responsible. D. Intelligent.
D
Many areas of the world suffer from low rainfall, and with climate change, the water shortage (短缺) is increasingly becoming a problem in some places. So more and more people, companies and governments are now looking for ways to make houses completely self-sufficient in water-providing it and dealing with it themselves.
In some houses in rural areas of Australia, the owners are doing exactly this. Although the houses are in a suburb called Gelorup, only 10 kilometres from the city of Bunbury, they do not have water supplied to them. Instead, water is collected on the roof and from the channels (排水沟) and then run into underground pipes that lead to a large water tank (箱). From the tank the water purified (净化) in the underground system is sent back to the house to meet all household needs from drinking to cleaning toilets. Because of this, no one in the households can use strong chemicals for cleaning and washing.
We produce different kinds of water waste from our homes. Black water is the waste water that comes from our toilets, but most of our waste water is actually grey water. This is the waste water produced by people having showers or baths, washing their hands or faces in the sink, and washing their clothes or dishes. However, while grey water is not drinkable, there are many ways in which it can be reused around the home. With water recycling systems, grey water can be collected and made safe enough to use on gardens and for cleaning toilets.
The process of treating and transporting water produces large amounts of carbon emissions. So if we all began to recycle our grey water, it could radically reduce the impact on the environment. The use of water recycling systems would also help with the problems of water shortage faced in many areas of the world. Water recycling, it seems, must have an important place in our future.
12. What information does paragraph 2 mainly tell us
A. Why the water should be recycled.
B. How the water recycling system works.
C. What difficulties the house owners are facing.
D. Why strong chemicals may be used for cleaning and washing.
13. What can we do to deal with the waste water
A. We should know the different kinds of waste water.
B. We should reduce it by not having showers or baths.
C. We should find some ways to reuse the recyclable waste water.
D. We should drink the waste water purified by water recycling systems.
14. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in the last paragraph
A. greatly B. creatively C. likely D. regularly
15. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A. Water recycling: the way of the future
B. Saving water: the immediate need
C. House owners: the different choice
D. Grey water: the most important point

The Origin of Trick-or-treat
On October 31, hordes of children armed with Jack-o’-lantern-shaped buckets and pillow cases will take to the streets in ___47___ of sugar. Trick-or-treating for candy is equivalent to Halloween, but the ___48___ had to go through a centuries-long evolution (发展) to arrive at the place it is today. So how did the holiday become a chance for kids to get free sweets You can blame pagans (异教徒), Catholics, and candy companies.
Historians agree that a Celtic autumn festival called Samhain (萨温节) was the origin of modern Halloween. Samhain was a time to ___49___ the day symbolizing the last harvest of the year and the approach of the winter season. It was also a festival showing ___50___ to the dead. One way Celtics may have appeased (安抚) the spirits they believed still walked the Earth was by leaving treats on their doorsteps. When Catholics invaded Ireland in the 1st century CE, they rebranded (重塑) many pagan holidays to ___51___ their religion. November 1st became the “feasts of All Saints and All Souls,” and the day before it was dubbed “All-Hallows-Eve.” The new holidays looked a lot different from the original Celtic festival, but many traditions ___52___ around, including the practice of offering food to the dead. The food of choice for Christians became “soul cakes,” small pastries usually baked with expensive ___53___ and spices like currants and saffron.
Instead of leaving them outside for passing ghosts, soul cakes were given to beggars who went door-to-door promising to pray for souls of the deceased (已故的) in ___54___ for something to eat. Sometimes they wore costumes to honour the saints — something pagans originally did to avoid being disturbed by evil spirits. The ritual, known as “souling”, is believed to have planted the seeds for modern-day trick-or-treating.
It wasn’t until the 1950s that trick-or-treat gained popularity in the US. Following the Great Depression and World War Ⅱ, the suburbs were booming, and people were looking for more ___55___ to have fun and get to know their neighbours. The old practice of souling made a comeback and gave kids a chance to dress up in costumes and walk around their mon trick-or-treat offerings included nuts, coins, and homemade baked goods (“treats” that most kids would turn their noses up at today).
