英语五年级兴趣课堂

,Festivalsaroundtheworld,趣味英语小测试,一单项选择题1.大家都知道，如果路边的小屋上写有W.C.的字样，那大概就是一个可以方便的地方。请问W.C.的完整英语形式是怎样的？A.WashingRoomB.WashingCaseC.WaterClosetD.WaterCaster,1.答案选C。即W.C.是由WaterCloset的首字母缩略而来的。它主要用于英国英语，指有抽水设备的厕所，但在美国，人们几乎不用它。英语中表示“厕所”的其他表达还有：toilets,LadiesRoom,MensRoom,publicconvenience,restroom,washroom等等,2.许多同学都有自己的电子邮箱，如168,pgbook,hifriend998等。请问其中的表示什么意思，该怎么读？A.的意思是“电脑”，读作“a外一个圈”。B.的意思是“邮箱”，读作“圈内一个a”。C.的意思是“为”，读音与介词for相同。D.的意思是“在”，读音与介词at相同。,2.答案选D。在此相当于英语中的介词at，意为“在”，故读作“At”，如pgbook的意思就是“位于在网站上的一个名叫pgbook的邮箱”。,3.英国人和中国人都喜欢喝茶，但英国人通常将中国人说的“红茶”，说成_tea。A.redB.whiteC.blackD.green,3.答案选C。汉语说“绿茶”，说成英语是greentea，但汉语说“红茶”，英语习惯上用blacktea表示，而不能按字面意思说成redtea。,4.2008年北京奥运会的英文口号是_.A.Oneworld,OnedreamB.NewBeijing,GreatOlympicsC.GreatChinawelcomeyouD.Faster,Higher,Stronger,4.答案选A。2008年北京奥运会的英文口号是Oneworld,onedream。选项B(NewBeijing,GreatOlympics)是北京申办奥运会的口号，其意为“新北京，新奥运”；而选项C(Faster,Higher,Stronger)则是奥林匹克格言,NewYearsDay,LanternFestival,WomensDay,MayDay,ChildrensDay,DragonBoatFestival,Mid-autumnFestival,NationalDay,ArmyDay,Chinesefestivalsandholidays,Spring,Festival,SpringFestivalisthetraditionalChineseNewYearsDay.ItusuallyfallsinearlyFebruary.Andthecelebrationlastsfromthefirstdaytothefifteenthdayofthefirstlunarmonth.,国名拼写China中国(CHN)FRA-France法国Russia俄罗斯(RUS)Japan曰本(JPN)IND-India印度Italy意大利(ITA)TheUnitedStatesofAmerica美国(USA)England英格兰(ENG),SpringFestival,onthefirstdayofthelunaryear,lastfifteendays,dospringcleaning,decoratetheirhouses,OnNewYearsEve,dinner,watchtheSpringFestivalprogramme,watchfireworks,setofffirecrackers,getluckymoney,LanternFestival,TheSpringFestivalmaytakeplaceinFebruary.Itisonlunar1stofJanuary.AttheSpringFestival,peoplehaveplentyoffoodandfruit,andmaygivechildrenluckymoneyinredpaper.Peoplestudyingorworkinginothercitiesandcountrieswilllookforwardtoseeingtheirrelativesandfriends,sothattheywillcomebackandhavefunwiththem.People,especiallychildren,willdressupduringtheSpringFestival.OnNewYearsEve,peoplewillhaveadinner,watchtheSpringFestivalprogramme,watchfireworks,setofffirecrackers,农历lunarcalendar,Usefulwordsandexpressions,正月lunarJanuary;thefirstmonthbylunarcalendar,除夕NewYearsEve,初一thebeginningofNewYear,元宵节theLanternFestival,Foodnames,团圆饭familyreuniondinner年夜饭thedinneronNewYearsEve,Dumpling/Jiao-zi,年年有余：Havingmorethanneedeveryyear,吉祥如意：Everythinggoeswell.Begood!/Allthebest.,Activities,春联SpringFestivalcouplets,剪纸paper-cuts,年画NewYearpaintings,压岁钱giftmoney,守岁staying-up,祭祖宗offersacrificestoonesancestors,payNewYearscall;giveNewYearsgreetings;NewYearsvisit,TheSpringFestivalisagoodtimeforrelatives,friends,andclassmatestoexchangegreetings,giftsandchatleisurely.,烟花fireworks,爆竹firecrackers,Whatfestivalsofforeigncountriesdoyouknow?,Brainstorming,Christmas,FoolsDay,ValentinesDay,Easter,ThanksgivingDay,MothersDay,FathersDay,Halloween,MothersDay,Time:thesecondSundayinMayWegiveflowersandpresentstoourmothers.,Fathersday,Time:thethirdSundayinJune,ChristmasDay,OnDecember25thItisthebirthdayofJesusChristGotothepartiesandchurches,givecardsandpresentstoourfriendsandrelatives,圣诞夜（silentNight/ChristmasEve），又称平安夜，即圣诞前夕（12月24日），在大部份基督教社会圣诞节是重要节日之一。但现在，由于中西文化的融合，已成为世界性的一个节日。圣诞夜传统上是摆设圣诞树的日子，但随著圣诞节的庆祝活动提早开始进行，例如美国在感恩节后，不少圣诞树早在圣诞节前数星期已被摆设。届时，千千万万的欧美人风尘仆仆地赶回家中团聚。圣诞之夜必不可少的庆祝活动就是聚会。大多数欧美家庭成员团聚在家中，共进丰盛的晚餐，然后围坐在熊熊燃烧的火炉旁，弹琴唱歌，共叙天伦之乐；或者举办一个别开生面的化妆舞会，通宵达旦地庆祝圣诞夜是一个幸福、祥和、狂欢的平安夜、团圆夜。圣诞之夜，父母们会悄悄地给孩子们准备礼物放在长统袜里。,Readthefollowingdescriptionsaboutwesternfestivalsandguesswhichfestivaltheyconvey?,Thisfestivalhappensatthebeginningofthespring.,Usuallymostyoungpeoplearehappyonthisday.,Theysendflowersandchocolateorsomeothergiftstotheonetheylove.,ValentinesDay,ValentinesDay,OnFebruary14thPeoplesendchocolates,rosesandcardstothepeopletheylove.,Readthefollowingdescriptionsaboutwesternfestivalsandguesswhichfestivaltheyconvey?,Thisfestivalhappensinspring.,Onthisdaymostpeoplearehappy.,Peoplecantellliesandplaytricksonotherswithoutbeingblamed.,Somepeoplemaybefooledbuttheycannotbeangry.,AprilFoolsDay,Time:onApril1st,Mostchildrenareexcitedonthisday.,Theywouldliketodressupasfrighteninganduglyghostsorwitches.,Theywearblackcostumesormasks.,Theywouldliketoknockothersdoorsandsay,“trickortreat”.,Halloween,Time:October31st,CarvedPumpkinLantern,在每年的10月31日是西方传统的“鬼节”万圣节。10月31日是万圣节前夕.通常叫做万圣节前夜.不过这一天的气氛却
