Being from the UK, Christmas for me means spending time with family and friends, exchanging presents, eating and drinking, and, of course, hiding from the cold. In Colombia, however, Christmas is viewed much more as a time which devotes itself to religion. With celebrations beginning on 7 December, Columbia is recognized as having the longest Christmas celebrations period in the world. The celebrations generally begin in the evening with the lighting of candles, either in the streets, parks or outside people39。s homes. Cities are lit up by candles, as this day marks the beginning of the Christmas period. Although decorations have been up since early November, another tradition in Colombia is that during the nine days before Christmas, family members and friends meet up to pray, sing songs and share traditional foods at home. Probably the biggest surprise for me has been the music people listen to during the Christmas period. At first, you could easily mistake these songs for the classic salsa, which is played all year round. However, after asking a Colombian if it really felt like Christmas music, they explained to me that the songs are loved more for the memories they symbolize than for the way they sound, and that Colombia has been through so many dark periods in history, it was important to hold on to the good memories of years gone past. Being in a country like Colombia during this festive period has taught me that you don39。t need to be religious to take part in these Christmas traditions.（1）What39。s the authors opinion of Christmas? isn39。t a global festival. isn39。t a time for being alone. is mainly devoted to religion.39。s celebrated only in some places.（2）What can we learn about the Christmas music? is celebrated in the same way as in the UK. is celebrated mainly as a religious festival. is celebrated for nine days or so. is celebrated with lanterns and fireworks.（3）What do Colombians do during the Christmas celebration period? traditional foods. to the church together. abut home decorations. a onemonthlong holiday.（4）Colombians love the songs mainly because ______. sound extremely wonderful express best wishes for the future represent good memories of the past have been passed down for generations【答案】 （1）B（2）B（3）A（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了在哥倫比亞圣誕節(jié)的意義及人們的慶祝方式。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Being from the UK, Christmas for me means spending time with family and friends, exchanging presents, eating and drinking, and, of course, hiding from the cold.”可知在作者眼里，圣誕節(jié)意味著與家人和朋友共度時光，交換禮物，吃喝玩樂。圣誕節(jié)是團(tuán)聚的時間不是獨(dú)處的時間。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“In Colombia, however, Christmas is viewed much more as a time which devotes itself to religion.”可知在哥倫比亞，圣誕節(jié)更多的是作為宗教節(jié)日被慶祝的，故選B。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“another tradition in Colombia is that during the nine days before Christmas, family members and friends meet up to pray, sing songs and share traditional foods at home. ”可知在哥倫比亞，家人和朋友團(tuán)聚祈禱，唱歌，共享傳統(tǒng)食物。故選A。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“the songs are loved more for the memories they symbolize than for the way they sound, and that Colombia has been through so many dark periods in history,
