阅读理解。    Studying abroad is an amazing experience, especially when you come to Australia as an Overseas (外国的)
high school student. You can have a lot of fun here, especially on holidays.
    There are many festivals in Australia. The most important one is obviously Christmas. Each year, the
summer holiday of every high school lasts about two months from the beginning of December to February,
which covers the Christmas time. Since it is a long holiday, most overseas students love to fly back to their
home countries to spend the time with their families and friends, but a few students still stay in Australia during
the holiday to get part-time jobs. It is quite easy to find a part-time job at Christmas. Students often take part in
another major social activity. They go to the beach to have fun in the sunshine. The summer in Australia is
from December to February, so going to the beach in December is very popular among Australian.
     Easter in March is another important holiday in the year. It actually combines (使联合) "Good Friday" and
"Easter Monday". Almost every shop closes on Good Friday. And people usually go to see Easter Show. 
    The Chinese New year is not a public holiday in Australia, so every Chinese student still has to go to school
to study and do his or her normal duties. 1.Summer holidays in Australia often begin in ______. [     ]

根据短文内容,选择正确答案。     Sport is full of wonderful moments, but perhaps nothing is as exciting as the finish of the marathon. It is the
longest, hardest race of all. The name "marathon" comes from a village in Greece. A famous battle was fought
there in the year 490 B.C. When the Greeks had beaten the Persians, a soldier ran all the way from Marathon to
Athens-more than 40 kilometers-to tell people the good news. When the modern Olympic Games were stared in
1896, the organisers (组织者) knew this story. The marathon has been a race since then.
     In the ancient world the Olympics were held every 4 years. They were an important part of
life. In the modern Games we try to copy their ideas. The finest sportsmen in the world are collected in one
place-or at least, the finest "amateure" are. An amateur is someone who does not earn any money from sport. It
is often difficult to say who is an amateur and who is not. It is true that Olympic athletes (运动员) do not earn
large amounts of money like professional sportsmen. But Olympic athletes are often students or teachers for a
sport. They have to spend a lot of time training. Their governments pay for their training, travel and "pocket
money", because they want them to win. Some people think that this changes the Olympics. They feel that the
Games are now a political marathon. 1. The word "marathon" was first used for a _____. [     ]
A. battle
B. story
C. place

D. the longest race has always been called a "marathon". 3. Modern Olympic Games are held _______ years. [     ]

beds, and the hotel"s bar.
