UNIT 2　Let’s celebrate！ Ⅰ.阅读理解 　　（2025·湖南雅礼中学一模）Boxing Day is an institution in the British calendar， but there is no common consensus as to how it got its name.According to some， it can be traced back to the Victorian era when churches often displayed a box into which their parishioners （教区居民） put donations. 　　However， according to historian Dr Neil Armstrong， the naming of Boxing Day dates back to the 17th century.This was the day， he said， when apprentices would have a box for their employers to tip them a coin or two.While the boxes may have disappeared， the custom of tipping has remained. 　　In the Victorian age， the custom evolved.On Boxing Day， most tradespeople would give their clients a gift to ensure their custom.There were concerns， said Dr Armstrong， that this was a form of bribery （行贿）.This custom declined in the 20th century as fewer people had relationships with their local businesses and shops following the rise of supermarkets and shopping centres. 　　“It may not be the reason why Boxing Day got its name， but charitable giving was closely associated with Boxing Day in the Victorian era，”said Dr Armstrong.“In the mid-19th century there began to be indiscriminate （随意的） charitable giving.This would often be begging， and children were usually sent out to do this job.” Nevertheless， the habit of generous charitable giving has continued to be associated with the festive period up to the present day. 　　Boxing Day continued， however， to be a normal working day until 1871， when it was finally classed as a public holiday.“They would often be working until very late on Christmas Eve， so they wanted a break on Boxing Day，” Dr Armstrong said.Then it became known as a day of leisure.Organised sporting events such as football matches became popular — a tradition which has carried on until today. 　　Boxing Day is observed in the United Kingdom， Canada， Australia， New Zealand， South Africa and some other Commonwealth nations.In America， 26 December is known as the Day after Christmas Day， and is observed as a holiday in only a few states. 　　 1.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “institution” in the first paragraph？（　　） A.Charity system.

passage和cover之间是被动关系。故填covered。 21.grows　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：沿着院子的边缘是成堆的岩石，其中生长着竹子。分析句子结构可知，定语从句是倒装句，主语是bamboo，故设空处缺谓语动词，描述客观事实用一般现在时，主语是第三人称单数，故谓语用单数形式。故填grows。
