It is a little like Christmas in the US, but there are some differences between the two festivals.Superficially speaking, both the major Chinese and the major Western holidays come during the cold season, which in both cases call for extra eating. In western countries, cookies and cupcakes begin just after Thanksgiving inNovember and show up everywhere from the boss desk to fireplace mantel. Turkey, smashed potatoes and other foods that protect a body from cold coming later. Similar things happen in China.Entering lunar December, most families will make shopping plans for the coming big day and food is certainly one of the most important things to be considered.At the end of the month, both parents in each family will be very busythe father is busy buying food while the mother is busy cooking.A deeper similarity is traditionor the distortion of it. Christmas, as the word “Christ” suggests, as a holiday to celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ. Many people pray on this day, but others have severed or minimized the religious connection. In China, people living in cities or towns, though they dont plan to sow seeds this month, still celebrate on the big day for farmers.Followers of both holidays also differ from each other. While Chinese people travel to the homes of elder relatives, Americans usually call or send cards. Westerners prefer Christmas cards to fireworks. In Christmas, family gifts come by the stack instead of one by one, since adults may have only one day free to celebrate.But the most curious difference concerns students. Chinese students heading home for Spring Festival sometimes report getting bored by the end of vacation, yet American students seldom get bored around Christmas and Western New Year.Not everyone follows or enjoys classic holidays traditions. Students in western countries may get upset, as too much homework, travel complexities or bad family relations may disrupt the relatively short holiday season. In China, more and more college students choose to travel or work during the winter holiday instead of going home to stay with their families. Its against the tradition but many people accept it.1According to the passage_.Apeople eat more each meal during the holidays than they do on usual daysBpeople have an extra meal during the holidays besides breakfast, lunch, and supperCpeople usually eat outside during the holidaysDholiday food is much richer than the food on usual days【答案与解析】D从第2段来看，当节日临近时，无论是在西方还是在中国，人们都会准备丰盛的食物。2The passage implies that Christmas _.Ais a holiday to celebrate the birthday of Jesus ChristBis a pure religious day on which people prayCis a traditional holiday which everyone enjoysDoriginated from religion, but its religious importance is not treated seriously as before【答案与解析】D从第3段可知，圣诞节虽来源于宗教，但现在它的宗教色彩已大不如从前。因此A、B两项错误。从第6段第1句说“Not everyone follows or enjoys classic holiday traditions”可知C项错误。3Whats the meaning of the underlined word “disrupt” in Paragraph 6? ABo disorder. BMake.money.CMake.short. DDelay.【答案与解析】Adisrupt 意为“扰乱；弄乱”，只有选项A符合文意。4Which of the following is NOT the factor that makes the students upset about Christmas?ABurden from homework.BHoliday travel is not easy.CThe holiday is too short.DThe unhappy relations with parents and brothers.【答案与解析】C从第6段可知，使学生假期不开心的三个因素有“太多的家庭作业、旅行的不便、不和睦的家庭关系”，假期只是一个客观情况，并非是使学生不开心的原因。5Usually, people who enjoy classic Christmas traditions may NOT_.Ahave a gettogether with close family membersBtravel to the homes of elder relationsCbe excited about ChristmasDget in touch with the distant family members 【答案与解析】B从第4段可知，“拜访长辈、亲属”是中国人过春节的习俗。.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。_1_ However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, located in India. Mumbai is used to be known as Bombay, so the film industry there is called “Bollywood”. Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollywoodmore than 800 films a year._2_ For one thing. Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action, adventure, mystery, and romance. Because Bollywood films contain so many different features, this style of film is sometimes called “masala” film.(“Masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of spices.)_3_ It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script(剧本)is even finished. The director and writer can make up the story while the film is being made._4_Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. _5_ Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies. The average Bollywood film, with a budget (预算) of only two million US dollars, seems very cheap compared to the average budget of sixty million US dollars for a Hollywood filmthirty times as much!AAnother big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way the movies are made.BBollywood produces more movies than Hollywood.CMost people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood, located in the United States.DThey may even shoot scenes for several films on the same day by using the same c
