Whether it’s hanging the stockings or baking cookies, all of our favorite Christmas traditions have an interesting history. But no matter where or how you celebrate the holiday season, you might notice a rather unusual custom: finding oranges in your stocking on Christmas morning. As it turns out, there are several arguments as to why people began to put oranges in Christmas stockings.
According to the original story of St. Nicholas (now called Santa Claus), the saint gave three bags of gold to a poor man. The money helped the man pay for his daughters’ weddings, and St. Nick has had a reputation for being generous ever since. Meanwhile, the oranges are thought to represent the gold he left the girls.
Some believe, on the other hand, that the practice began during the Great Depression. Because many families couldn’t afford to buy Christmas gifts or candy, luxury (奢侈) foods, like oranges and walnuts were placed under the tree, instead.
Another explanation is that the oranges are a reminder to share what you have with others, as December is the season of giving. And finally, some think the oranges were once a “special treat” in winter — especially for children living in the north. Therefore, there appeared oranges in the stockings.
21. Why are the oranges a reminder to share what you have with others?
A. Because December is the season of giving.
B. Because many families couldn’t afford to buy Christmas gifts or candy.
C. Because the oranges are thought to represent the gold he left the girls.
D. Because the oranges were once a “special treat” in winter.
22. How many arguments are there according to the passage?
A. 2. B. 3 C. 4. D. 5.
23. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People can only put oranges in Christmas Stockings.
B. Many families were rich during the Great Depression.
C. St. Nicholas helped the man pay for his daughters’ weddings.
D. The oranges were not a “special treat” in winter for children living in the south.
B
Smile, please. You’re on camera. This is not a joke. It seems that there are now more cameras than human beings in your community. I used to be annoyed when my children came into the toilet when I was using it. Now I worry about them coming in with camera phones. The last time it happened, I shouted, “I hope you’re not filming this for YouTube. ” They replied, “Of course not, that’s not so last month. ”
Escaping to a bar, I complained about this camera-filled world and many listeners shared their stories.单元素养评价(一)(Unit

Is
there
anything

M:
I
am
worried
about
my
15-year-old
niece,
Helen.
W:
What’s
worrying
you
?
M:
⑩I’ve
seen
a
big
change
in
her.
She
used
to
be
very
outgoing
and
sociable
but
now
she
is
having
problems
with
other
children

she
is
totally
someone
else.
W:
Really?
M:
Yes,
now
she
is
quiet
and
doesn’t
want
to
talk
to
anyone
else.
Her
teacher
said
things
were
going
backward
in
her
study.
W:
Her
parents
must
be
very
anxious
about
her.
M:
No,
not
really,
?both
of
them
are
too
busy
to
worry
about
their
daughter.
I
think
I
need
to
talk
to
them
and
ask
them
to
spend
more
time
with
Helen.
W:
Take
it
easy.
It
is
something
natural.
I
was
outgoing
when
I
was
a
little
girl,
but
became
very
shy
in
teenage
years,
so
don’t
be
nervous
about
your
niece.
M:
Maybe
you
are
right,
?but
I
will
talk
with
my
brother
anyway.

(2020·长沙高一检测)
Whether
it’s
hanging
the
stockings
or
baking
cookies,
all
of
our
favorite
Christmas
traditions
have
an
interesting
history.
But
no
matter
where
or
how
you
celebrate
the
holiday
season,
you
might
notice
a
rather
unusual
custom:
finding
oranges
in
your
stocking
on
Christmas
morning.
As
it
turns
out,
there
are
several
arguments
as
to
why
people
began
to
put
oranges
in
Christmas
stockings.
According
to
the
original
story
of
St.
Nicholas
(now
called
Santa
Claus),
the
saint
gave
three
bags
of
gold
to
a
poor
man.
The
money
helped
the
man
pay
for
his
daughters’
weddings,
and
St.
Nick
has
had
a
reputation
for
being
generous
ever
since.
Meanwhile,
the
oranges
are
thought
to
represent
the
gold
he
left
the
girls.
Some
believe,
on
the
other
hand,
that
the
practice
began
during
the
Great
Depression.
Because
many
families
couldn’t
afford
to
buy
Christmas
gifts
or
candy,
luxury
(奢侈)
foods,
like
oranges
and
walnuts
were
placed
under
the
tree,
instead.
Another
explanation
is
that
the
oranges
are
a
reminder
to
share
what
you
have
with
others,
as
December
is
the
season
of
giving.
And
finally,
some
think
the
oranges
were
once
a
“special
treat”
in
winter
—
especially
for
children
living
in
the
north.
Therefore,
there
appeared
oranges
in
the
stockings.
【文章大意】文章主要讲述了一个圣诞节的习俗:
圣诞节早上在你的长袜里发现橘子,
然而事实证明,
关于为什么人们开始在圣诞袜里放橘子有很多争论。
21.
Why
are
the
oranges
a
reminder
to
share
what
you
have
with
others?
A.
Because
December
is
the
season
of
giving.
B.
Because
many
families
couldn’t
afford
to
buy
Christmas
gifts
or
candy.
C.
Because

D.
Because
the
oranges
were

is
that
the
oranges
are
a
reminder
to
share

you
have
with
others,

is
the
season

(另一种解释是,
橘子是提醒你与他人分享你所拥有的东西的,
因为12月是给予的季节)可知,
12月被看作给予的季节,
橘子是在12月被分享给大家的。故选A。

C选项St.

(圣·尼古拉斯帮助这个人支付他女儿的婚礼费用)论述正确。故选C。
B
Smile,
please.
You’re
on
camera.
This
is
not
a
joke.
It
seems
that
there
are
now
more
cameras
than
human
beings
in
your
community.
I
used
to
be
annoyed
when
my
children
came
into
the
toilet
when
I
was
using
it.
Now
I
worry
about
them
coming
in
with
camera
phones.
The
last
time
it
happened,
I
shouted,
“I
hope
you’re
not
filming
this
for
YouTube.
”
They
replied,
“Of
course
not,
that’s
not
so
last
month.
”
Escaping
to
a
bar,
I
complained
about
this
camera-filled
world
and
many
listeners
shared
their
stories.
A
Londoner
told
me
about
a
woman
in
England
who
threw
a
cat
in
the
street.
When
the
surveillance(监视)
video
went
public,
she
received
so
many
death
threats
that
she
needed
police
protection.
It
seems
that,
if
you
cause
an
animal
some
pain,
the
population
rises
up
to
beat
you
to
death.
A
man
from
New
York
told
a
story
of
how
a
truck
had
knocked
a
tree
down.
A
23-year-old
woman
was
hurt
in
the
accident.
However,
a
surveillance
camera
revealed
that
she
had
thrown
herself
down
on
purpose
to
get
money
from
the
driver.
“You
have
to
admit,
the
camera
was
the
hero
in
that
story,
”
the
New
Yorker
said.
Of
course,
there
are
disadvantages,
too,
the
Londoner
added,
explaining
that
the
UK
now
had
about
four
million
surveillance
cameras.
“I
feel
like
cameras
are
looking
at
me
all
the
time,
”
he
said.
However,
my
attitude
really
changed
after
someone
suggested:
“If
you
had
a
large
body
of
filmed
work,
why
not
register(登记)
as
an
actor?
”
So
I
phoned
a
friend
and
got
to
know
that
all
film
or
video
actors
with
speaking
parts
could
earn
at
least
$782
per
day.
Woohoo!
Now
if
you’ll
excuse
me,
I
need
to
go
and
do
some“stupid
dad
tricks”
at
home.

1958
by
the
World
Friendship
Crusade,
an
international
civil
organization
to
foster
a
culture
of
peace
through
friendship.
31
Just
as
in
the
US
and
several
other
countries,
the
festival
has
been
greatly
commercialized(商业化).
?
Days
before
the
festival,
card
and
gift
companies
launch
a
large
campaign(活动)

attract
people

buying
cards

gifts
for
their
friends.
Streets
and
stores
are
filled
with
advertising
programs
aimed
at
young
people.
32

marketing
strategy(策略)
has
been
severely
criticized(批判)
by
many
people.

crazy
commercialization
has
damaged

the
well-known
friendship
band—the
modern

friendship
that
friends
give
to
one
another
to
form
an
everlasting
bond.
Friendship

are
the
favorite

friendship
and
express
gratitude
and
love
for
each
other.

the
seventh
grade
had
just
passed
his
first
test!

From
that
moment,
nothing
was
the

Steve.
He
discovered

he
remember

understand 50 ,
but
he
could
translate
what
he
learned
into
his
life.
He
became

After
high
school,
Steve
enlisted
in
the

military
career.
During
his
naval
years,
he
inspired
many
young
people
who
might
not
have
53
themselves
without
him.

A

within
the
heart
of
a
boy
all
because
of
one
teacher,
who
55
about
him.

Dear
Jim,
How
is
everything?
I’m
happy
to
have
received
your
letter,
in
which
you
asked
me
about
the
condition
of
our
Spring
Festival
in
modern
society.
It
is
known
that
the
Spring
Festival
plays
an
important
role
in
China.
With
the
development
of
our
society,
we
come
to
realize
that
it
is
not
only
a
festival
but
a
valuable
treasure.
Thus,
we
pay
more
attention
to
how
to
make
it
more
meaningful
and
how
to
protect
the
environment.
Therefore,
more
and
more
people
prefer
electronic
firecrackers
to
traditional
ones.
What’s
more,
an
increasing
number
of
families
try
to
do
some
volunteer
work
to
help
others
rather
than
only
sit
and
eat
together.
Look
forward
to
learning
something
about
your
Christmas
Day.
Best
wishes.

阅读下面短文,
根据所给情节进行续写,
使之构成一个完整的故事。
Boys
like
to
be
considered
to
be
brave,
but
what
kind
of
things
can
be
considered
to
be
brave?
It
is
not
a
question
that
can
be
answered
by
words,
but
by
the
actual
deeds.
A
boy
with
the
name
Henry
gave
us
a
good
example.
Ronny
and
Henry
were
two
friends
in
the
same
class.
They
always
played
together
and
went
home
together.
One
day
as
Ronny
and
Henry
were
going
home
after
school,
they
saw
some
people
fighting
in
the
street
corner.
Ronny
said
excitedly,
“Some
people
are
fighting!
Let’s
go
and
have
a
look!
”But
Henry
refused,
“It’s
none
of
our
business.
We’d
better
go
home
and
don’t
get
close
to
them.
Also
our
parents
are
expecting
to
have
dinner
with
us
together
at
home
and
I
don’t
want
them
to
worry
about
me.
”?
“You
are
a
coward,
and
afraid
to
go,
”said
Ronny,
and
off
he
ran
to
the
spot
with
some
other
boys.
Henry
had
to
go
home
alone
and
didn’t
think
about
it
anymore.
But
Ronny
thought
Henry
was
a
coward
and
told
all
the
boys
that.
They
laughed
at
him
a
great
deal.
From
then
on,
they
looked
down
upon
Henry
and
didn’t
want
to
play
with
him.
Henry
was
sad
but
he
wasn’t
angry
with
Ronny
for
his
rude
behavior,
because
he
had
learned
that
true
courage
was
shown
most
in
bearing
misunderstanding
when
it
was
not
deserved,
and
that
he
ought
to
be
afraid
of
nothing
but
doing
wrong.
Thus,
he
just
ignored
the
other
boys’
laughter
and
continued
to
stick
to
his
thought
and
go
to
school
and
study
as
well.
However,
Ronny
didn’t
invite
Henry
to
go
home
with
him
anymore.
Instead,
he
had
his
new
friends
who
also
thought
Henry
was
a
coward.
Every
day
after
school,
they
didn’t
go
home
directly
but
went
to
the
river
or
somewhere
to
play
games
and
had
lots
of
fun.

Paragraph
1:
A
few
days
later,
something
terrible
happened
to
Ronny.
That
afternoon
after
school,
Ronny
was
bathing
with
some
of
his
new
friends
in
the
river
happily.
Suddenly,
he
was
stuck
in
the
mud
and
couldn’t
get
out.
He
struggled
hard
but
he
was
still
trapped.
He
screamed
for
help,
but
all
in
vain.
The
boys
who
had
called
Henry
a
coward
got
out
of
the
water
as
fast
as
they
could.
They
were
so
scared
and
did
not
even
try
to
help
him.

Paragraph
2:
At
that
moment,
Henry
happened
to
pass
by.
He
heard
the
screams
and
ran
to
the
river
as
soon
as
possible.
Seeing
Ronny
was
almost
drowned,
Henry
took
off
his
clothes
immediately
and
jumped
into
the
water
without
any
hesitation.
He
reached
Ronny
just
as
he
was
sinking
the
last
time.
With
great
effort,
and
with
much
danger
to
himself,
he
brought
Ronny
to
the
shore
in
time.
Henry
was
happy
to
help
his
friend,
though
he
was
extremely
tired.

阅读下面短文,
根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
(2020·宁德高一检测)
Most
Americans
take
pride
in
inviting
guests
with
open
arms.
What
should
you
do
if
an
American
friend
has
invited
you
to
visit
his
family?
You’ve
never
been
to
an
American
home
before,
and
you’re
not
sure
what
to
do.
Should
you
take
a
gift?
What
time
should
you
arrive
or
leave?
How
long
should
you
stay?
Take
it
easy.
I’ll
tell
you
all
about
it.
The
question
of
whether
or
not
to
bring
a
gift
often
worries
guests.
Giving
your
host
a
gift
is
not
just
a
social
custom
in
some
cultures—it’s
expected.
But
in
American
culture,
a
guest
does
not
have
to
bring
a
gift.
Of
course,
some
people
do
bring
a
small
gift
for
their
host.
Proper
gifts
might
usually
be
flowers,
candy
or—if
the
family
has
small
children—toys.
If
you
choose
not
to
bring
a
gift,
don’t
worry.
No
one
will
even
notice.
Plan
to
arrive
on
time,
or
call
to
tell
your
host
that
you
will
be
late.
When
you’ve
finished
the
meal,
the
host
may
invite
everyone
to
move
to
the
living
room
for
dessert
with
tea
or
coffee.
After
an
hour
or
so,
it’s
about
time
to
head
for
the
door.
Americans
usually
like
to
invite
guests
ahead
of
time.
Only
very
close
friends
visit
the
host
unexpectedly
without
being
invited.
This
is
especially
true
if
the
guests
want
to
stay
for
a
few
days.
Here’s
one
golden
rule
for
house
guests:
short
stays
are
best.
Even
relatives
don’t
usually
stay
for
several
weeks
at
a
time.
Your
host
family
will
appreciate
your
consideration
(体贴),
and
they
may
even
invite
you
back!
