(2024·湖南六校高三联考)Christmas falls on December 25 every year.As everyone knows，Jesus Christ is the founder or central figure of Christianity.December 25 is a Christian holiday to memorialize Jesus.Romans also regarded this day as a division point in the human time course in order to memorialize the birthday of Jesus.This way of counting the years is just the AD chronology which is still used around the world up to date：before the birth of Jesus is know as BC and after the birth of Jesus is called AD.
“Christmas，” as the name suggests，refers to the birthday of the saint “Christ”．The word “Christ” comes from Greek，meaning the “anointed”—a person God separated for special purpose.“Messiah” in Hebrew has the same meaning as “Christ”．The word “Messiah” comes from the prediction of an ancient prophet (先知)．Jews in the 1st century had been waiting for the arrival of “Messiah” God promised to grant them to bring them a new world.
The most authoritative record about the birth of Jesus is the Bible，especially in the Gospel of Luke and the Gospel of Matthew.According to the record of Luke，Augustus，King of Rome at that time，ordered a census (人口普查)，so Mary and her husband Joseph left their home in Nazareth and went to Joseph’s hometown Bethlehem to register.As hotels there were fully occupied，Mary and Joseph had to spending a horse shed.Mary gave birth to Jesus that night.Bethlehem，the birthplace of Jesus，is just the city where Joseph’s ancestor David lived.This exactly proves the prediction in the Book of Isaiah.
The genealogy (家谱) of Jesus that Matthew described lasted until Jesus was born by a virgin.Then it recorded the arrival of three wise men from the Orient (probably China)．These men，also called by some people three doctors from the Orient，came soon after Jesus was born in Bethlehem.They previously went to Jerusalem to report to Jewish King Herod that they had seen a bright star which meant the birth of a new king.They arrived at Bethlehem finally after many inquiries，found Mary and Jesus and presented three precious gifts to Jesus.
After Jesus was grown up，he claimed he was the king—Messiah of Jews.Finally he angered the authority because of his declaration that he was Christ.He was sentenced in a religious trial and crucified.Christians believe Jesus came back to life three days after death and “Easter” is the Christian festival to memorialize the resurrection of Jesus after death.Jesus says his birth is the most important “gospel” of human beings because God himself comes to the world from heaven.Because of the sacrifice of Jesus，human beings have the expectation of going to heaven after death.
6．Romans regarded December 25 as a division point in the human time course to________.
A．show they were very clever
B．commemorate the birth of Jesus
C．record the rebirth of Jesus
D．celebrate the public holiday
7．About “Messiah”，which of the following is TRUE?
A．The word comes from the prediction of an ancient prophet named Jews.
B．“Messiah of Jews” refers to Jesus，who was born in Jerusalem by a virgin.
C．In Hebrew it has the same meaning as “Christ”，a word from Greek.
D．Messiah is the Jewish King Herod，found by three wise men from the Orient.
8．In Paragraph 3 we know that the Gospel of Matthew may be________.
A．a chapter of the Bible
B．part of the Gospel of Luke
C．written by Augustus，King of Rome
D．about Mary’s journey back home
9．The underlined word “resurrection” possibly means________.
A．survival B．sacrifice
C．reaction

(2024·长沙重点中学高三月考)Before the 1850s，the United States had a number of small colleges，most of them dating from colonial(殖民的)days.They were small，church connected institutions whose primary concern was to shape the moral character of their students.
Throughout Europe，institutions of higher learning had developed，bearing the ancient name of university.In German university was concerned primarily with creating and spreading knowledge，not morals.Between mid－century and the end of the 1800s，more than nine thousand young Americans，dissatisfied with their training at home，went to Germany for advanced study.Some of them return to become presidents of admired colleges－Harvard，Yale，Columbia－and transform them into modern universities.The new presidents broke all ties with the churches and brought in a new kind of faculty.Professors were hired for their knowledge of a subject，not because they were of the proper faith and had a strong arm for disciplining students.The new principle was that a university was to create knowledge as well as pass it on，and this called for a faculty made up of teacher－scholars.Drilling and learning by memorization were replaced by the German method of lecturing，in which the professor’s own research was presented in class.Graduate training leading to the Ph.D.，an ancient German degree representing the highest level of advanced scholarly achievement，was introduced.With the establishment of the seminar system，graduate student learned to question，analyze，and conduct their own research.
