The Mid-summer Day. a hundred-year-old tradition in Scandinavia, falls on June 22nd or 23rd, when the sun will reach its highest point in the sky, to create the longest day of the year. In【B1】______part of Scandinavia, one can see the【B2】______sun and the night never reaches complete darkness.
Many places celebrate Mid-summer on St. John’s day, June 24th, while in Sweden it is honored on the Friday【B3】______ to June 20. Many centuries ago this day was to pay 【B4】______ to water, fire and plants. It was also a time to cleanse one’s soul. However, over time, this holiday lost much of its【B5】______meaning. Actually, Mid-summer marks a change in the farming year, specially the break between the completion of spring【B6】______ and the hard work of summer hay-making in Scandinavia, and in such Eastern European countries as Estonia and Lithuania.
How did and do people celebrate the festival?
Family and friends get together to【B7】______ themselves with such wonderful food as herring(鲱鱼),【B8】______potatoes, sour cream, bread, and beer, followed by strawberries or fresh fruit. After the meal, people would dance.【B9】______. Now it is just for fun.【B10】______—remember, the sun does not set at all in Scandinavia at this time of year!【B11】______.
【B6】
选项
答案
sowing
解析
空前的of spring提示所填词为名词,本句要表达的意思是仲夏节是农历年的一个更替期,是春天的……农耕活动的结束和夏天的晒干草农活开始的间隙。根据常识,春天的主要农耕工作是播种,所填词可能表达播种的含义。sowing意为“播种”。
