问题     Halloween is a holiday, which comes at the end of October. It widely celebrated, with different names, in many countries. Although it started as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children’s day, and many american children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand.
    The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it and a candle placed inside, and put in the window as a decoration. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations.
    Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one’s neighbors and friends, such as ringing door bell, throwing bits of corn at window panes, and making small troubles in other ways.
    More recently, children have begun to go door to door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and give treats of candy, fruit or cookies. They say, "Trick or Treat" , meaning, "I will play a trick on you if you don’t give me a treast. "This practice has even recendy developed into an international activity. Instead of , or along with candy, children collect money for UNICEF(the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for poor children throughout the world is known as " UNICEF Trick or Treat".
Halloween is a holiday that______
选项 A、is celebrated as a.children day all over the world.
B、is for giving strange costumes to friends.
C、comes from a religious holiday.
D、is celebrated by UNICEF.
答案C
解析 根据文章首段第二句可知，许多国家在庆祝万圣节，而不是全世界，因此A项错误。根据文章第三段可知在万圣节，人们穿上恐怖的西服，而不是将其送给朋友，因此B项错误。文章第一段第三句话指出万圣节开始时是一个宗教节日，后来才没了其传统意义，因此C项正确。文章最后一段指出儿童用在这一天得到的钱捐给UNICEF(联全国国际儿童组织)，D项与表述不符，所以错误。故选C。
