Thousands of years ago, birthdays were considered special days. On birthdays, the bad spirits were able to harm you and change your life. It was believed that the only way to solve the problem was to have your friends and family around you, so that good wishes and presents would keep the bad spirits away. Also, noisemakers were thought to be used at parties as a way of scaring away the evil spirits.

The custom of lighting candles was created by people believing that the gods lived in the sky. By lighting candles and torches, they were sending a signal or prayer to the gods, so they could be answered. Blowing out the candles and making a wish were thought to be another way of sending a signal or a message.

This is how the way we celebrate our birthdays came about. But different cultures celebrate in different ways.

The birthday story in the Bible（圣經(jīng)） that we know best is about the birth of the Christ in Bethlehem（地名：伯利恒）. For nearly 2000 years since that day, the Christian world has been honoring this birth. The day many Englishmen celebrate is, of course, Christmas. There are other references to birthday parties. King Pharaoh celebrated his birthday by making a feast for his court followers. That was over 4000 years ago. The story of King Herod tells that on his birthday he made a supper for his lords, high captains and other special friends in Galilee (地名：加利利).

According to the passage, good wishes and presents given by one’s friends and family on his birthday can _____________________.

A. cheer him up                           B. prove that he’s a popular person

C. bring him a big fortune                   D. push bad spirits away

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The custom of lighting candles originated with the gods.

B. The gods celebrate their birthdays by lighting candles.

C. People send messages to the gods by lighting or blowing out the candles.

D. The gods will help people realize their dreams on their birthdays.

The two ancient kings’ ways of celebrating their birthdays show__________________.

A. how great the two kings were

B. how different cultures celebrate in different ways

Paul, the oracle octopus (神算章魚), was given a replica (復(fù)制品) of the World Cup as a reward for his perfect eight-for-eight record in predicting the results of matches.

The two-year-old octopus with possible supernatural powers turned into a worldwide celebrity for accurately predicting the German team’s five World Cup wins as well as their two defeats. Paul also tipped Spain to beat Netherlands in the final.

“We have had a lot of offers for Paul but he will definitely be staying with us and returning to his usual job-making children smile,” Sea Life spokeswoman Tanja Munzig in Oberhausen said after presenting Pual with the World Cup replica.

There’s no rational(合理的)reasons why Paul always got it right. Bettors around the world made small fortunes based on Paul’s guess, said Graham Sharpe, media relations director at William Hill in London. “I’ve seen a lot of things in my lifetime but this is the first time I’ve ever seen people making their picks based on what an octopus tells them. We had people coming in saying they didn’t know how to place a bet but heard about this German octopus and wanted to bet with him. It’s funny. But he kept getting it right.” said Sharpe.

Sharpe said that anyone who had placed a 10-pound accumulator bet(累計(jì)下注)on Paul’s prediction from the start of the World Cup would have won 3,000 pounds($4,500)by the end of the tournament.

Paul’s home at Sea Life aquarium(水族館)in Oberhausen has been crowded with visitors and media from across Europe. Many networks broadcast his predicting live. Many networks broadcast his picks live. Hundreds were on hand to watch the World Cup replica lowered into his tank on Monday, 12 July, 2010.

Paul was rewarded a replica of the Word Cup because he           .

A. will celebrate his birthday soon

B. predicted the results of matches accurately

C. helped beat Netherlands in the final

D. helped many fans earn much money

If a fan had placed a 200-pound accumulator bet on Paul’s prediction, he would have won

            during the tournament.

A. $30,000           B. $45,000           C. $60,000             D. $90,000

The underlined word “tipped” in the 2nd paragraph probably means           .

A. ordered           B. announced         C. predicted             D. helped

From what Sharpe said we can learn that           .

A. it’s amazing for Paul to make more exact prediction than people

B. octopus like Paul may all have the ability to predict exactly

C. it’s common for people to believe in sea life for prediction

D. we’d better not bet with animals when we have trouble making our picks

We can learn from this passage that           .

A. Paul used to be children’s favorite sea life

B. it’s useless to bet with the oracle octopus

C. Paul was born with the ability to predict World Cup results

D. Germany will never be beaten if Paul stays with them

第三部分  閱讀理解（共20小題，每小題2分，滿分40分）

For many people Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. One of the reasons people love it so much is that you get presents. But like presents, Christmas needs to be unwrapped so that you can understand the true meaning behind the day.

Many Chinese believe everyone in Western countries celebrate this holiday. That is not true. Christmas is an important religious holiday for Christians. December 25 represents the birthday of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the son of God.

Christianity (基督教) is a very popular religion in America and Europe. However, there are many other religions, too. People who celebrate those religions don’t celebrate Christmas. But during the winter season they usually have their own important holiday. That is why when talking to a foreigner it is safer to say, “ Happy holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas” because you never know his/her religious background.

The image of a fat, happy man in red---Santa Claus---has come to represent the idea of goodness and love instead of religious part or the “Christmas spirit”. Santa Claus is based on a man named Saint Nicholas who was a 4th century Greek Christian.

Saint Nicholas bought presents for children and gave them away anonymously(匿名地). This is where the idea of gift on Christmas began. But the Santa Claus didn’t exist until the 19th century when an American named Thomas Nast drew cartoons of him. So really, Santa has nothing to do with the religious holiday.

In fact, some people who celebrate Christmas don’t really care about Santa Claus.

Christmas is a special day for Christians but the ideas of being good and loving your neighbors are not limited to Christianity. So buy a gift for your friend, tell your mother you love her and have merry Christmas. I mean ,”Happy holidays!”

56. Christians believe December 25 represents the birthday of _________.

A. Santa Claus     B. God    C. Jesus Christ     D. Thomas Nast

57. In the passage, the author thinks __________.

A. Santa Claus was a real person in the past

B. everyone should believe in Christianity

C. all people in Western countries celebrate Christmas

D. Santa Claus has nothing to do with Christmas holiday

58. What is “the true meaning” in the first passage?

A. For many people Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year

B. The Westerners have different religious backgrounds

C. Some like to say “Merry Christmas”, and others like to say “Happy holidays”

D. Being good and loving our neighbors are the virtues of all humans

59. What is the CORRECT explanation of Santa Claus?

A. He was a Greek Christian in the 4th century

B. He was an American who was born in the 19th century

C. His image represents the “Christmas spirit”

D. He was a cartoon figure drawn by Thomas Nast
