一、完形填空 先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
It is well known that the English go out with an umbrella or a raincoat. Why? the weather in Britain often changes quickly. It is not very usual for the same kind of weather to long.
Spring can be rainy or windy, the weather is getting warmer and you can hope for more sunny days. In fact, there can be as much in spring as in summer. Summer is the time for visitors to go to the seaside and other places of interest. The weather can be sunny and nice. People often go out to have a walk or swim. Autumn is a beautiful season, trees in the woods and parks changing colour. During autumn it is still nice to be outside too. In winter, it gets colder. It might snow, especially on high land in the north. There are very strong winds in this season.
January and February are the coldest of the year, while the warmest are often July and August. The difference temperature between winter and summer is not so great in Britain. The temperature for winter is about 4.5℃, and for summer is about 15.5℃.

二、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Autumn days give us some fantastic and lively colours. Then, suddenly, the city is covered with a thick sheet of snow. It is during this special time of year that one of the most popular and enjoyable holidays in America comes: Christmas. This time is so special that schools often give students a two-week break from their schoolwork to enjoy the winter holidays.
My family takes this chance to spend two weeks together. We build a tree and decorate it with many colourful lights. On top of the tree, we put a shining star. As night sets in, the dark room is warmly lit up by a bright Christmas tree.
Then, on Christmas Eve, our family have all the traditional American foods: turkey, sweet potatoes, vegetables, nuts, pies, and other good dishes. On this very night, there is an old story, named Santa Claus. He will fly from the North Pole and give presents to the children under the Christmas tree. However, Santa only gives presents to those who have behaved well the whole year. So children across America try
to do one last good deed before the night by baking Santa some cookies, trying to ask him for presents. This is why Santa is so fat!
That night, children are often excited, hoping to find presents. The next day, they rush out of bed very early. Then, the whole family open presents and spend the whole day relaxing.

做这类阅读理解题，需先通读全文把握主旨（本文讲述美国家庭的圣诞节经历），再针对每道题的题干，回到原文定位相关细节，结合选项逐一比对、推理，选出最佳答案。具体来看，第1题需明确学校假期与圣诞的关联；第2题需分析烤饼干在段落中的作用；第3题需概括文章主旨；第4题需判断作者不同意的观点；第5题需梳理文章的写作顺序。
【解析】
1. 第1题：根据第一段最后一句“schools often give students a two-week break from their schoolwork to enjoy the winter holidays”及第二段“My family takes this chance to spend two weeks together”，可知两周假期是为了让家人一起享受圣诞节，对应选项C。A选项“假期是庆祝秋末”、B选项“准备圣诞考试”、D选项“因大雪停课”均与原文不符，排除后选C。
2. 第2题：第三段围绕平安夜的圣诞传统展开，提到给圣诞老人烤饼干是该传统的一部分，目的是解释美国圣诞的一项传统，对应选项A。B选项“孩子爱烘焙”、C选项“圣诞老人真实”、D选项“让圣诞老人开心”均偏离核心，排除后选A。
