圣誕節(jié)是西方最大的一個節(jié)日，在節(jié)日之前的幾個月，人們就開始準(zhǔn)備圣誕禮物了，這時(shí)候街道、商店往往都會變得非常忙碌，銷售員們在這個時(shí)候也是最累的。也有一些人喜歡自己制作圣誕禮物和卡片。

【1】句意：西方人在圣誕節(jié)之前的幾個月就開始買圣誕禮物了。end結(jié)束；start開始；enjoy喜歡；finish完成。根據(jù)上句話When should you start to buy Christmas presents?可知，這里說的是什么時(shí)候開始買圣誕禮物，故應(yīng)選B。

【2】句意：當(dāng)圣誕節(jié)日益臨近的時(shí)候，孩子們就會把他們想讓父母買的禮物列一個清單。nearer更近；earlier更早；faster更快；later之后。根據(jù)上文…buying presents months before Christmas Day可知，人們在圣誕節(jié)之前幾個月就開始買禮物，因此這里應(yīng)表達(dá)的是“當(dāng)節(jié)日快要到來的時(shí)候”，come near臨近，靠近。故應(yīng)選A。

【3】句意：從11月底街道就開始繁忙。large大的；busy繁忙的；wide寬的；free空閑的，自由的。根據(jù)下文的描述可知，商店里裝飾了彩燈、圣誕樹，布滿了各種各樣的禮物，人們開始為圣誕節(jié)做準(zhǔn)備，所以街道開始忙碌起來，故應(yīng)選B。

【4】句意：在一個又一個的商店你會聽到圣誕歌曲《鈴兒響叮當(dāng)》。dance舞蹈；sing 唱歌；feel感覺；hear聽到。根據(jù)空后Christmas music songs like Jingle Bells in shop after shop.可知，這些商店播放的歌曲你可以聽到，故應(yīng)選D。

【5】句意：你可以玩一玩，看看你是否喜歡，那里有人告訴你怎么玩。play玩；work工作；study學(xué)習(xí)；help幫助。上句話Some stores have many dolls, candies and computer games.介紹的是商店里出售的一些玩意兒，因此這里應(yīng)說的是“先玩一玩，看是否喜歡”，故應(yīng)選A。

【6】句意：他們非常的友好。friendly友好的；funny滑稽的，有趣的；handsome英俊的；strong強(qiáng)壯的。根據(jù)上句話there are people to show you how things work可知，有人來告訴你那些東西怎么玩，所以人們都是很友好的，故應(yīng)選A。

【7】句意：在圣誕節(jié)前的一周，商店關(guān)門都很晚。parks公園；school學(xué)校；shops商店；hospital醫(yī)院。根據(jù)下文Sometimes, they can only go home at midnight. It’s very ____8____for sales people!可知，這里說的是賣東西的商店關(guān)門很晚，故應(yīng)選C。

【8】句意：對于這些銷售人員來說是非常累的。surprising令人吃驚的；interesting令人感興趣的；exciting令人興奮的；tiring令人疲倦的。根據(jù)上文Sometimes, they can only go home at midnight.可知，有時(shí)候銷售員們半夜才回家，他們一直在忙，所以非常疲倦，故應(yīng)選D。

【9】句意：一些人在節(jié)日之前幾個月就開始攢錢，這樣他們就有足夠的錢給朋友和家人買禮物。stop 停止；save儲蓄；積攢；think認(rèn)為，思考；rest剩余，修息。根據(jù)句中…so that they have enough money to spend on their friends and family可知，他們在節(jié)日之前開始攢錢，這樣才能有足夠的錢，故應(yīng)選B。

【10】句意：但是并不是所有人都去商店買圣誕節(jié)禮物。shopping購物；running跑步；swimming游泳；travelling旅行。根據(jù)文意可知，上文講述的就是圣誕節(jié)人們?nèi)ド痰曩I禮物的事情，這里提到的是不是每個人都購物，有的人喜歡自己做禮物和卡片。因此應(yīng)選A。

以上兩個題目都是完型填空，考查學(xué)生們在具體語境中運(yùn)用語言的能力，綜合性較強(qiáng)，有一定的難度。做題時(shí)，應(yīng)先通讀短文，了解大意。短文第一句話常不設(shè)空，有利于我們把握文章的中心和話題。然后根據(jù)上下文語境的提示做題，先易后難。做題時(shí)，注意瞻前顧后，從上下文中尋找解題的線索。有的題目考查固定搭配；有的題目則需要從句間或段間搜索到有用的信息。做完題后，應(yīng)再讀一遍短文，將答案代入其中，檢查答案是否準(zhǔn)確。第一篇短文中的題目主要考查了單詞形式的辨析，如第5小題，選項(xiàng)中四個單詞是同根詞，詞性不同，在句中的作用也就不同，這里考查的是be interested in…，對…感興趣，是固定短語，故應(yīng)選C。第二篇短文中的題目要難一些，考查了語境和詞匯的用法。例如第4小題，考查動詞辨析，根據(jù)空后Christmas music songs like Jingle Bells in shop after shop.可知，這些商店播放的歌曲你可以聽到，故應(yīng)選D。再如第8小題，考查形容詞辨析，根據(jù)上文Sometimes, they can only go home at midnight.可知，有時(shí)候銷售員們半夜才回家，他們一直在忙，所以非常疲倦，故應(yīng)選D。
