decorating the tree at christmas time, lighting the candles for kwanzaa, or spending the new year with the noisemakers. but holidays arent just for helping adults feel a connection with the past. they also create a structure and annual rhythm that will carry our children into the future. indeed, in a world in which children constantly are experiencing developmental, social, and academic changes, family traditions provide stepping stones that lead us from season to season, year to year. it gives children a sense of security to know how their world works, that on christmas eve, the family always goes to midnight mass (午夜弥撒). the songs, sights, and stories of the winter holidays also help children experience feelings of respect, feelings that arent often encouraged in our rather cynical (悲观的) modern culture. the time spent with loved ones also can promote a deep sense of family roots and cultural history, which in itself is key for developing a sense of belonging, well-being, and self-esteem. the winter holidays are especially good for creating family-building traditions. christmas, hanukkah, and kwanzaa all in some way celebrate light, warmth, and love, and all of them provide a sense of home and hearth (壁炉边). as new parents, we begin to have our own set of customs around these holidays, and many traditions will be drawn from our past, especially at first. but with years going on, we are sure to develop original ones that suit our own particular lifestyles, childrens personalities, and personal tastes. granted, modifying family traditions may feel like a break with the past, but they help to consider these changes as a connection with the future as well, which we transmitted to our children with all the best wishes. 1. what is the best title for the text? a. use holidays to develop family traditionsb. adults recall their childhoodc. modern culture mixed with traditionsd. spend holidays with children2. the author believed that holidays. a. are used for adults look back the old good daysb. can keep children company into grown-upsc. are made use of to have a family gatheringd. can only be spent at home with parents3. the childrens sense of security is

spending holidays with children can let children know except. a. about the history of the familyb. where their family came fromc. they are living a happy lifed. they are content with themselves5. the underlined word “transmitted” in the last paragraph means. a. hand downb. make upc. take downd. pass over【参考答案】21.abcda阅读理解。most musicians agree that the best violins were made in italy. they were made in cremona, italy, about 200 years ago. these violins sound better than any others. they even sound better than violins made today. violin makers and scientists try to make instruments like the old italian violins. but they arent the same. musicians still prefer the old ones. no one really knows why these old italian violins are so special, but many people think they have an answer.some people think it is the age of the violins. they say that todays violins will also sound wonderful someday. but there is a problem here. not all old violins sound wonderful. only those from cremona are special. so age cannot be the answer. there must be something different about cremona or those italian violins makers.other people think the secret to those violins is wood. the wood of the violin is very important. it must be from certain kinds of the trees. it must not be too young or too old. perhaps the violin makers of cremona knew something special about wood for violins.but the kind of wood may not be so important. it may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. it has to be the right size and shape. the smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. musicians sometimes think that this was the secret of the italians. maybe they understood more than we do about how to cut the wood.size and shape may not be the answer either. scientists measured these old violins very carefully. they can make new ones that are exactly the same size and shape. but the new violins still do not sound as good as the old ones. some scientists think the secret may be the varnish, which covers the wood of the violin and makes it look shiny. it also helps the sound of the instrument. no one knows what the italian violin makers used in their varnish. so no one can make the same varnish today.there may never be other violins like the violins of cremona. their secret may be lost forever. young musicians today hope this is not true. they need fine violins. but there arent very many of the old violins left. also, the old violins are very expensive. recently, a famous old italian violin was sold for about us$300,000!1. this passage is about . a. making violinsb. musical instrumentsc. scientific ideasd. the old italian voilins答案解析：答案为d。本题为主旨大意题。 第一段最后一句话 “no one really knows why these old italian violins are so special, but many people think they have an answer.” 引入话题，为什么古老的意大利小提琴如此特别，很多人认为他们知道答案，后文分别给出了不同人的答案，最
