The celebrations generally begin in the evening with the lighting of candles, either in the streets, parks or outside people39。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. t need to be religious to take part in these Christmas traditions.（1）What39。t a global festival. isn39。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。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(shí)光，交換禮物，吃喝玩樂。故選B。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。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。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。故選C。5．閱讀理解 art culture. Jazz clubs around the city still host concerts with local jazz musicians like Rob Dixon and Joel Tucker. One of these clubs, the Chatterbox Jazz Club, still has live jazz seven nights a week. s culture, jazz music was gone from the streets for many years. Jazz prospered in the mix of American cultures around the Avenue in the 1930s and 1940s. But in the 1950s, things changed. After the war, there were projects to make the city beautiful and build a university nearby. Both of these seemed like good changes. However, the new university and buildings caused poorer families to have to leave the area. This destroyed the Indiana Avenue munity and with it, its jazz culture. Today there are several oldstyle jazz clubs where friends can meet up to remember the past or just enjoy a summer evening. It might seem at first that jazz is alive again, but there is a sad reality behind these jazz clubs: Modern Indy jazz is only a shadow (影子) of the lively culture that was once on Indiana Avenue.（1）What does the author mainly want to say in Paragraph 1? clubs can make big money. musicians often hold concerts. music is popular in Indianapolis. culture is just part of Indianapolis39。 （1）考查段落大意。 art culture.” 現(xiàn)在到了2019年，爵士樂是印第安納波利斯藝術(shù)文化的重要組成部分。故選C。根據(jù)第四段中中的“But in the 1950s, things changed….
