Today when we place candles on a birthday cake and hope that we succeed in blowing them out with one breath so that we can receive our wish, we 【S1】______ don’t consider that this was an 【S2】______ worship ritual for the Greek goddess Artemis. Artemis was the goddess of the moon, marriage, and childbirth, and for the 【S3】______ of her birth, special cakes were formed in the 【S4】______ of the moon and candles were placed on the temple altars, if worshippers blew out the candles with one breath, Artemis would 【S5】______ over them and bring them good fortune, as well as make their wishes 【S6】______ true.
A similar custom began in Germany in the Middle Ages, when a cake was placed on the dinner table early in the morning of someone’s birthday. It was 【S7】______ by a circle of candles that burned throughout the day to ward off the 【S8】______ spirits. The candles were also a reminder that life is 【S9】______ and represented the candles that would one day be lighted for one’s funeral. By blowing them out, the person celebrating the beginning year of life is demonstrating the ability to control destiny. Blowing all of them out at one time is considered lucky because it implies more than just control, but also 【S10】______ over one’s fate.
A) watch B) master C) surrounded D) ancient
E) tradition F) probably G) celebration H) come
I) transitory J) shape K) evil L) abnormal
M) unfortunate N) fundementally [br] 【S5】
选项
答案
A
解析
空格处需填入动词。易误选的动词为come,该词可与over构成有意义的搭配,但是表示“走到某人旁边”要用come over to sb.表示。watch可与over搭配,意为“注视,看着”。符合句意。
