Some holidays are well-known all around the world.Among them are New Year's Eve celebrations.Also common are days in honor of love and friendship,like Valentine's Day.Each country has its own special holidays,too,often to mark important events in its history.
Schools,banks,and government offices all close on days like these.______(1)A few of them are really very strange.
Of course,they are not strange to the people who celebrate them.Perhaps that is because the celebrations have long traditions.Consider April Fool's Day,for example.No one knows when or why it began.Today it is celebrated in many countries一France,England,and Australia,among others.On this day,people play practical jokes.______(2)The ones who laugh are the ones playing the jokes.The people they fool often get angry.Does celebrating this day make sense to you?
Dyngus Day in Poland seems strange,too.On this day,it is traditional for boys to pour water over the heads of girls.Here is the strangest part:They do it to girls they like.

August 10 marks the start of the Puck Fair,an Irish festival with a very unusual tradition.People from the town of Killorglin go up into the mountains and catch a wild goat. ______(4)
There are also some celebrations that are really strange.In the United States,sometimes
one person gets an idea for a new holiday and tries to get others to accept it.Whose idea was Public Sleeping Day? That one is on February 28.It may seem strange,but it sounds like more fun than the one on February 9.______(5)

选项 ______(5)
A:They bring him back to town,put a crown on his head,and make him king for three days.
B:Some of the days people celebrate,however,are less serious.
C:That is supposed to be Toothache Day.
D:Then begins the world's biggest food fight.
E:Some people have fun imagining new holidays.
F:Jokes are supposed to be funny,but these jokes do not make everyone laugh.
答案 C
解析 the days（天，节日；复数），带有定冠词说明其上一句应该有该词出现。how-ever（然而；表示转折），说明此句与其上一句是转折关系。less serious（不那么严肃），说明其上一句应该属于正常或严肃的事情。空白处所在句子为，“学校、银行和政府机构都在这样的节日中停休。”“其中有些天又非常奇怪。”很明显应补入B项。
but（可是，但是）承上启下，转折。these jokes（这些恶作剧），说明前一句肯定有jokes（玩笑）这个词。not...laugh（不……笑），说明下一句一定会是“哭”或“生气”。文中说“这一天，人们开着戏弄人的玩笑。”“发笑的人是开玩笑的人，而被戏弄的人往往会很生气。”很明显应补入F项。
Then(然后，接着），起承上启下作用。（应注意：该词引导的是一个全倒装句，“the world's biggest food fight”是主语，“begins”是谓语）。the world's biggest food fight 中的food（食物）非常重要，说明其前一句中肯定有“食物”这类词。文中说：“每年的八月末，大卡车载着二十多万磅的西红柿进入这个小镇。”很明显应补入D项。
They（他们；指人，复数）；him（他；指人或动物）。文中说，“Killorglin城的人们上山抓了一只野山羊。”很明显应补入A项。
That（这一或那一），代词，指代前一句中的某个名词。Toothache Day（牙痛日），说明其前一句一定会有“某月某日”，才能定为（大写的）……日。空白处50的前一句：“似乎很奇怪，可是听起来比这更有趣的是2月9日。”很明显应该补入C项。
