The most important holiday in spring, especially for Christians, is Easter. This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year，but it’s always on a Sunday.

People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies to one another to celebrate the day.

But the holiday is more than new clothes and good things to eat. On Easter, many people go to church to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection（复活）from the dead. Most people color Easter eggs. Some people hide them. Others just eat them. But no matter what one does with Easter eggs，they are an important Easter tradition throughout the Western world. People from many different cultures celebrate Easter. In both America and Belgium, children look for Easter eggs hidden on lawns and in bushes. In America, children believe the eggs are hidden by the Easter bunny (兔子).But in Belgium, the hidden eggs are supposed to have fallen from church bells. In Bulgaria (保加利亚), red Easter eggs are lucky in churches. Bulgarian families also hit these Easter eggs together to see whose is the strongest. The winner looks forward to good fortune that year. Still dozens of other Easter traditions exist. In parts of Austria，for example，children sing from door to door and are rewarded with colorful eggs.

Going on holidays is best choice for the Europeans to relax themselves, especially in the UK. However, much has changed during the past decades(几十年).

One of the most traditional British holidays was the “seaside holiday”. Families got on a train or into a car and traveled to seaside towns nearby to sunbathe on the beach, buy ice-creams and eat fish and chips and so on.

In the late 1970s, more and more British people started traveling to other countries in Europe for their summer holidays (July-August) because the weather wasn’t very good, even in summer. The “package holiday” was particularly(特别地) popular with most families.

In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier, so many of them traveled to countries all over the world for their holidays.

These years, especially after the world financial crisis(金融危机), most British people can not afford to spend their holidays abroad. They again begin to choose to stay in their own home and go on a few day trips rather than spending money on hotels. They call this sort of vacation a “staycation”.

B

Carnival (狂欢节) is the most famous holiday in Brazil. It is not about an important time in history or about a famous person, but it is important for the people because it’s a time of friendship, freedom, and almost a whole week without work. People can have parties or have a rest, and most people choose parties, day after day, night after night. It starts forty days before Easter (复活节). It lasts four days and four nights. It starts on Saturday and finishes on Wednesday. People wear their colourful clothes and go out into the streets or to the clubs. There are also groups of people who make a parade (游行) showing their music and cars. Every year the parade tells a different story. Each city has at least one group like this.

In the south, life returns to normal by Wednesday. However, it is not accepted by the church in the northwest, where Carnival is more common. There people don’t respect its end and continue to have parties until the next Sunday.

I like Carnival, but I don’t agree that the party should keep going on for so many days. Unfortunately, some people aren’t responsible and give it a bad name, and that makes people remember the bad things about this. However, it is the only national holiday that brings together the whole country and its different people and cultures.

高一英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

DNA（Deoxyribonucleic acid）is one of the most important discoveries in science. DNA is the plan for the human being，as a blueprint is the plan for building. DNA makes a person look the way he does. A person’s DNA comes from a mixing of his parents’ DNA. That’s why a child looks like his parents. But，besides controlling things such as height and hair color，DNA can also give people diseases. Scientists are now studying DNA to cure（治疗） diseases. 　　　　　

In the seventies, scientists developed a process called recombinant (重新组合) or RDNA. Although it sounds difficult to understand，RDNA simply means taking DNA from one animal or plant and putting it into another. By doing so，scientists can create new beings. In doing so，scientists can better understand DNA, especially what parts of DNA do. After they understand DNA，scientists can begin to cure diseases. Often，the new being created itself will be the cure.

Besides curing diseases，RDNA research can also do other things. For example, scientists in Japan have already created “super-trees”. Trees help humans，because they take CO2, which poisons humans, from the air and turns it into oxygen, which lets humans breathe. “Super-trees” do this too，but do it much faster. As things such as cars and factories have already put much CO2 in the area，“super-trees” are badly needed.　　　　　　　　　　

Unfortunately，there is serious danger in RDNA research. Scientists want to create animals to cure old diseases，but these new animals may also create new diseases. It will be a serious problem if the animals escape from the science laboratory and into nature. As these animals are not natural, they may let loose many new powerful diseases.　　　　　　　　　　

As a result，RDNA research will create many solutions（解决方案），but it will also create many problems.

1.From the passage, we can know that a boy looks like his parents because　　　　　 .

A. he is son of his parents

B. his parents’ DNA decides his appearance

C. he has received DNA from his father or his mother

D. scientists have put some of his parents’ DNA into him

2.The following statements are true about RDNA research EXCEPT　　　　

A. RDNA research will benefit human beings a lot

B. super-trees might be widely planted around the world

C. scientists have not completely understood DNA

D. the research has been stopped because the created animals carry virus (病毒)

3.What does the underlined expression “let loose” in　 paragraph 4 probably mean？

A. let．．．go free　　 B. get rid of (去除)　　 C. absorb (吸收)　　 D. survive

4.What is the best title for the passage？

A. The DNA Research in Japan

B. A New Way of DNA Research in Japan

C. The Advantages and Disadvantages of RDNA

D. The Causes and Effects of DNA Research
