问题     Most churches have Christmas Eve services. The services usually begin just before midnight on Christmas Eve and end early Christmas morning. It was not until the 4th century that the church in Rome began to celebrate Christmas. Midwinter festivals had always been celebrated by many peoples. The approach of the winter time, as the days grew shorter and colder and the sun seemed to threaten to disappear entirely, was time of fear. But the shortest day also meant that winter was leaving and that ahead were spring, the warmth of the sun and the return of vegetation (植被) of the fields.
    The day before the vacation begins, schools have Christmas parties and prograrms. The children sing Christmas songs and recite Christmas poems. They trim their Christmas trees with strings of colored lights.  They put glass ornaments on the trees.  They throw little pieces of white paper over the trees and put white paper or a white sheet around the feet of the trees, so that they seem to be covered with snow. ,Sometimes they hang Christmas cookies  and little candies around them. Little children hang up their stockings on Christmas Eve near their beds. and they believe that when they are asleep, Santa Claus will come to visit them and put presents into the stockings.  
Children do all the following EXCEPT ______ the day before the holiday.
选项 A、having a cleaning of their classrooms
B、having parties and programs
C、singing songs and reciting poems
D、decorating Christmas trees
答案A
解析 事实细节题。由线索词children和the day before定位到文章第二段。第二段第一句说明学校里举办圣诞聚会；第二句指出孩子们要唱圣诞歌曲，背诵圣诞节的诗歌；第三句说孩子们要用彩灯装饰圣诞树。所以文章未提到的圣诞节孩子们没有做的事情是A“打扫教室”。
