Some Unusual Celebrations
Some holidays are well-known all around the world.Among them are New Year's Eve celebrations.Also common are days in honor of love and friendship,like Valentine's Day.Each country has its own special holidays,too,often to mark important events in its history.Schools,banks,and government offices all close on days like these._________ (46) A few of them are really very strange.
Of course,they are not strange to the people who celebrate them.Perhaps that is because the celebrations have long traditions.Consider April Fool's Day,for example.No one knows when or why it began.Today it is celebrated in many countries—France,England,and Australia among others.On this day,people play practical jokes._________ (47) The ones who laugh are the ones playing the jokes.The people they fool often get angry.Does celebrating this day make sense to you?
Dyngus Day in Poland seems strange,too.On this day,it is traditional for boys to pour water over the heads of girls.Here is the strangest part: They do it to girls they like.
Other unusual celebrations take place in a single city or town.A holiday called La Tomatina is celebrated in Bunol,Spain.Every year,in late August,big trucks carry more than 200,000 pounds of tomatoes into this little town._________ (48) For two hours,people in the,streets throw tomatoes at each other.Everyone ends up red from head to toe.
August 10 marks the start of the Puck Fair,an Irish festival with a very unusual tradition.People from the town of Killorglin go up into the mountains and catch a wild goat._________ (49)
There are also some celebrations that are really strange.In the United States,sometimes one person gets an idea for a new holiday and tries to get others to accept it.Whose idea was Public Sleeping Day? That one is on February 28.It may seem strange,but it sounds like more fun than the one on February 9._________ (50)
Do you like the idea of inventing a new holiday? If you do,then you will want to mark March 26 on your calendar.That is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.
A.Some of the days people celebrate,however are less serious.
B.Jokes are supposed to be funny,but these jokes do not make everyone laugh.
C.Some people have fun imagining new holidays.
D.They bring him back to town put a crown on his head,and make him king for three days.
E.Then begins the world's biggest food fight.
F.That is supposed to be Toothache Day.
答案解析：
46.A 句意：然而，人们所庆祝的一些天并不那么严肃。
文中“学校、银行和政府机构在这样的节日里会关门”和“其中有些节日确实又非常奇特。”很明显应补入A项。
47.B 句意：恶作剧很有趣，但是这些恶作剧并不能使每个人都发笑。
文中“这一天，人们开着戏弄人的恶作剧。”和“做恶作剧的人会笑，而被戏弄的人往往会很生气。”很明显应补入B项。
48.E 句意：接着便开始了世界上最大的食物大战。
Then(然后，接着)，起承上启下作用。(该词引导的是一个全倒装句，“theworld's biggest food fight”是主语，“begins”是谓语)。the world's biggest food fight中的food(食物)非常重要，说明其前一句中肯定有“食物”之类词。文中“每年的八月末，大卡车载着二十多万磅的西红柿进入这个小镇。”很明显应补入E项。
49.D 句意：他们把他(或它)带回城里，给他(或它)戴上了王(或花)冠，并让他(或它)当三天的国王。
They(他们;指人，复数)him(他;指人或动物)。所补空白处的前一句应该有表示“人”的复数名词和有表示“人”或“动物”的单数名词。文中“Killorglin城的人们上山去抓一只野山羊。”很明显应补入D项。
50.F 句意：这一天是牙痛日。
That(这一或那一)，代词，指代前一句中的某个名词。Toothache Day(牙痛日)，说明前一句一定会有“某月某日”，才能定为大写的……日。文中“似乎很奇怪，可是听起来比这更有趣的是2月9日。”很明显应该补入F项。
