2024年浙江成人高考高起点《英语》备考习题和答案（14）

Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage:

The winter holiday season is the most happy time of the year.Students from elementary school through college have about two weeks'vacation,beginning shortly before Christmas and ending soon after New Year's Day.Many families go away for the holidays,but those who stay home have fun,too.There are many parties to celebrate the birth of Christ and the arrival of the new year.

Christianity(基督教)is based on the teachings and life of Jesus Christ.Jesus was born in Bethlehem in ancient Judea.No one knows exactly when Jesus was born.The year 1 A.D.is supposed to be the year of his birth,but historians now know that he was actually born several years before that time.No one knows the exact date of his birth either,but Christians have celebrated it on December 25 since the fourth century.

The spirit of Christmas arrives about a month before the holiday itself.Late in November,street lights and store windows are decorated with Christmas colors of red and green.

Stores depend on Christmas shoppers for about one-fourth of their yearly sales.Smart shoppers buy their gifts far in advance,before the Christmas rush.Christmas is expensive.To earn extra money for gifts,in December many Americans get part-time jobs.

The most beautiful and meaningful parts of the holiday occur at home and in church.Many families go to church on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.After that,they gather around the tree and open their gifts.Then they sit down to enjoy a Christmas dinner--turkey(火鸡)or ham,sweet potatoes,and vegetables.
