第1题
Christmas Eve(圣诞前夜) arrives at my house each year. The center of the celebration is dinner. My mother spends days preparing a rich variety of seafood. The guest list seldom changes. It is made up of my Aunt Marcy and her husband, my oldest brother, Sal, his wife, and their four children, my sister, Joann, her husband, and their two children, and my second brother, Richard, his wife, and their two children.
My aunt and uncle always come heavily loaded with enough food and wine for a whole army. My brother Sal and gang usually show up an hour early and empty-handed. Joann's family is usually late while Richard' s group generally arrives on time, bearing gifts for everyone. I am in charge of getting the Christmas tree. Plenty of food is served at the dinner table, and all the hours of preparation are wolfed down in a matter of minutes. Along with the yearly repeated menu comes the yearly repeated conversation.
Everyone talks about how good the food tastes. My mother then talks about all the supermarkets from which the fish was bought. This begins our period of comparison shopping. For at least thirty minutes, we show how better we are than each other at mentioning the bargains we have found.
Personally, I do not feel the need to be with a crowd on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve, to me, is a quiet time, a time to think deeply. The over-crowdedness and noise ruin my feelings about Christmas.
What does the underlined word "gang"(line 2, para. 2) probably mean？
A．The rest of the guests.
B．The children of the guests.
C．The writer and her mother.
D．Sal's family members.

One month ago, all six girls in my dormitory (including me) had made detailed plans for a more-exciting-than-ever Christmas holiday. But one day we received an unusual mission: we were asked to organize a party that would be a fund-raiser for mentally disabled children from the hospital. The children would perform. on stage while volunteers offered food to the spectators (观众) and collect some money for the organization.
Naturally, we were supposed to support the idea wholeheartedly, and we did. But wait—the date of the show was set right on Christmas Eve! This meant that all our original Christmas plans would have to best aside.
However, we took the plunge into preparations for the party. We spared no effort in organizing, designing, propagandizing, and so on. We went through thick and thin and finally made it, though with a bit of reluctance.
Finally, Christmas Eve arrived. As I dragged myself into the auditorium after another day of hard work, I detected the notes of a beautiful Christmas song that immediately filled me with happiness. I looked to find the source of the song—it was a group of children singing on stage. Though disabled, they appeared extraordinarily earnest and sincere in front of the audience. Everyone attending was deeply moved by the sight. People wanted to donate some money or show their support.
At that point, I found all that I had done in the one-month time was worthwhile. And all the volunteers who had been participating in this Christmas party shared the same feeling: the true meaning of Christmas was giving and receiving love from one another.
The author thought her Christmas was unusual because ______.
A．she had a cozy Christmas dinner and fabulous fireworks
B．she had a more-exciting-than-ever Christmas holiday
C．she saw performances given by disabled children
D．she devoted herself to helping the disabled children

It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, shining against the green of a pine.
"Where did it come from？" I asked.
"I asked the gate boy to cut it," my mother said, "I wouldn't have one just for myself, but when called—oh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon." Krysal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little disorderly at the side, 1 thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.
"It's not like the one you used to find," my mother went on, "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the gate boy didn't know where to look. But I couldn't be critical."
"Don't worry," I told him, "It's perfect."
It wasn't of course, but at the moment I realized for the first time: all Christmas tree are perfect.
From the passage we can infer that ______.
A．the writer spent his first Christmas during the war
B．all the soldiers did not go home for Christmas during the war
C．all the soldiers had three-day passes
D．the writer did not want to go home for Christmas at first

Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day passes posted.l was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see be- yond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments(装饰物) shining against the green of a pine. "Where did it come from？" I asked.
"I asked the Gates boy to cut it," my mother said. "I wouldn't have had one just for myself, but when called-oh, such a rush ! He just brought it in this afternoon... " The pine reached to the

"Yours were always in good shape，l suppose the Gates boy didn't know where to look. But I couldn't be fussy(挑剔的) . "
"Don't worry," I told her. "It's perfect. " It wasn't, of course, but at the moment I realized
something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.
