Some Unusual Celebrations
Some holidays are well-known all around the world. Among them are New Year’s Eve celebrations. Also common are days in honor of love and friendship, like Valentine’s Day. Each country has its own special holidays,too, often to mark important events in its history.Schools, banks, and government offices all close on days like these. {pz_填空}(46) A few of them are really very strange.
Of course, they are not strange to the people who celebrate them. Perhaps that is because the celebrations have long traditions. Consider April Fool’s Day, for example, no one knows when or why it began. Today it is celebrated in many countries—France, England, and Australia, among others. On this day, people play practical jokes.{pz_填空}(47) The ones who laugh are the ones playing the jokes. The people they fool often get angry. Does celebrating this day make sense to you?
Dyngus Day in Poland seems strange, too. On this day, it is traditional for boys to pour water over the heads of girls. Here is the strangest part:They do it to girls they like.
Other unusual celebrations take place in a single city or town. A holiday called La Tomatina is celebrated in Bunol, Spain. Every year, in late August, big trucks carry more than 200,000 pounds of tomatoes into this little town. {pz_填空}(48) For two hours,
people in the streets throw tomatoes at each other. Everyone ends up red from head to toe.
August 10 marks the start of the Puck Fair, an Irish festival with a very unusual tradition. People from the town of Killorglin go up into the mountains and catch a wild goat. {pz_填空}(49)
There are also some celebrations that are really strange. In the United States, sometimes one person gets an idea for a new holiday and tries to get others to accept it. Whose idea was Public Sleeping Day? That one is on February 28. It may seem strange,but it sounds like more fun than the one on February 9. {pz_填空}(50)
Do you like the idea of inventing a new holiday? If you do, then you will want to mark March 26 on your calendar. That is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.
A Some people have fun imagining new holidays.
B That is supposed to be Toothache Day.
C Then begins the world’s biggest food fight.
D They bring him back to town, put a crown on his head, and make him king for three days.
E Jokes are supposed to be funny, but these jokes do not make everyone laugh.
F Some of the days people celebrate, however, are less serious.
选项
答案
F|E|C|D|B|
解析
46 F文章开头先讲到一些比较正统、严肃的节日,然后话锋一转,开始讲一些不那么严肃的节日了。注意选项中的however—词,它表示了转折。而后面的一句"A few of them are really very strange. ” 也是一种提示。 47 E几个选项中和joke有关的只有E项。 48 C此空白的后面一句说人们在大街上相互投掷西红柿,是名副其实的“world’s biggest food fight"。 49 D选项中的代词him正好替代上面一句中讲到的goat (公羊)。 50 B2月9日是牙疼日(ToothacheDay),公众睡眠日(Public Sleeping Day)总比牙疼日更有趣吧!
