【題目】請閱讀下面這篇文章，根據(jù)所提供的信息，完成信息卡。

Halloween is a strange holiday. It started several centuries ago in Europe. It began as “Hallow Evening” meaning “holy night”. At that time November 1st was called “All Saints' Day” and people honoured all the saints who did not have their own special day. People believed that October 31st was the time when all the evil spirits were supposed to be active. So people would play all sorts of pranks on each other.

Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night.Pumpkins are a symbol of Halloween, so orange has become the other traditional Halloweencolor.Making lanterns out of pumpkins is a Halloween custom.

Halloween is great fun for children.They dress up as ghosts (鬼), witches (女巫), Small children go “TrickorTreating”．They wear costumes, knock on doors, and shout, “Trick or Treat！” People almost always choose to give them candy as a treat, instead of choosing to receive a trick from the children.Adults sometimes “trick or treat” their friends, too.Usually the “treat” is a glass of wine or some small gifts.

本文是說明文，講述的是萬圣節(jié)的來歷，幾百年前起源于歐洲，早期，人們認為死人的鬼神在11月31日夜里再現(xiàn)，為紀念這點，人們就做起了“trick or treat”不招待就使壞的鬼節(jié)。。

【1】句意：萬圣節(jié)是一個幾百年前在歐洲開始的節(jié)日�？疾榧毠�(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句It started several centuries ago in Europe. 得知萬圣節(jié)開始于幾個世紀前也就是幾百年前起源于歐洲。hundreds of：數(shù)百年的，hundreds of years ago數(shù)百年前，意思是several centuries ago；故答案是hundreds。

【2】句意：人們相信死者的靈魂在“圣徒節(jié)”前一天會復(fù)活。考查細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第五句People believed that all the spirits of dead people were active on the night of October 31st.（人們認為在十月一三十一日晚上，亡者的靈魂會重新復(fù)活！十月三十一日也就是萬圣節(jié)的前一天晚上。）可知答案是dead。

【3】句意：黑色和橙色都是傳統(tǒng)的萬圣節(jié)色彩�？疾榧毠�(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors和第二句Pumpkins are a symbol of Halloween, so orange has become the other traditional Halloween color，得知傳統(tǒng)的萬圣節(jié)顏色是黑色和橙色。故答案是Black

【5】句意：根據(jù)習(xí)俗，人們總是用糖果對待孩子，而不是從他們那里得到惡作劇�？疾榧毠�(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第四句people almost always choose to give them candies as a treat, instead of choosing to receive a trick from the children（人們幾乎總是選擇用他們糖果招待他們，而不是選擇讓孩子們做惡作劇。）instead of：而不是，代替，介詞短語，后面跟名詞，代詞，動名詞或短語做賓語，結(jié)合句意可知填receive的動名詞形式receiving。

【題目】I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in ____ for 17 years, I had no doubt about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.

I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “____!”

The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat ______ about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness(尷尬) was over, I quickly regained my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect--- perhaps _____ their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a sense of achievement.

Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a ____theme(主題). “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical(哲學(xué)的) framework of Western thought and laid the historical _____ for all the works we’ll study in class.” I complained. “How should they say I didn’t teach them anything?”

It was a long term, and it gradually became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students.
