Christians have generally regarded Christmas as both a holy day and holiday. (1)______
Customs of all lands have been added up through the centuries, making (2)______
Christmas today as the greatest folk festival in the world. (3)______
Log was adopted to the English custom from the ancient Scandinavian (4)______
practice of kindling huge bonfires in the honor of the winter solstice. The (5)______
idea of using evergreens at Christmas time also came to England from
pre-Christian northern European beliefs. Celtic and Teutonic tribes hon
ored these plants at their winter solstice festivals as symbolic for eternal (6)______
lives. The custom of the Christmas tree believes to have begun by Martin (7)______
Luther in Germany. The sight of an evergreen tree on Christmas eve, with stars
blazing above, is said to have made a great impression on him, and he puts a (8)______
similar tree, decorated with lit candles, in his home. (9)______
A well-loved Christmas custom is the singing of Christmas carols. Thir
teenth century Italy is considered the birthplace of the real Christmas carol,
and St. Francis of Assisi was thought to be the father of this custom. (10)______
(4)
选项
答案
adopted — adapted
解析
动词adopt应与介词by连用,但此句中如果用adopt,则语意不通,应该是Log was adopted by the English people,而不是English custom,因此必须改adopted为adapted,意为“使适应”,如:The camel’s feet,well adapted for dry sand,are useless on mud.在英语里有很多形近意远的词需多加比较,adapt和adopt,effect和affect等等。
