Halloween is a holiday, which comes at the end of October. It is 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 out into it and a candle placed inside, and put in the window as a decoration. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations.
(74)
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 treat. "(75)
This practice has even recently developed into an international activity. Instead of, or along with candy, children collect money for UNICEF(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".
The symbol of Halloween is______.
选项
A、a pumpkin
B、a candle
C、laughter
D、money
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。根据文章第二段的描述可知,万圣节时,南瓜刚好丰收,一般都会被挖空,表面刻成有趣的面孔,里面点上蜡烛,并把它放在窗户上当成装饰。由此可推知,南瓜才是万圣节的标志。B项文中仅有一处提及,且并不是标志;C项(笑声)和D项(金钱)更不会是标志。同时根据西方国家文化常识也可以轻而易举地选出本题的正确答案。
