問題詳情：

Kwanzaa is a celebration of African American history and culture. It begins on December 26th and continues until New Year's Day, January 1st.

During the festival, a family member, usually the youngest child, lights candles in a special candle holder. Each night a candle is lit. Traditionally there are three green candles, three red candles and a central black candle. They represent the seven Kwanzaa principles (原則). The principles are believed to play a big role in building strong, successful families, neighborhoods, etc. In the evenings, adults share stories and explain how to follow the seven principles in daily life. On the sixth day, which falls on New Year's Eve, family and friends get together to enjoy a large meal.

Kyle, a third grader, wrote this about Kwanzaa, “When we celebrate Kwanzaa, we have many people at home, light the candles, and have a nice dinner. We learn the meaning of Kwanzaa and remember family members. We say something good about them. Last year, we remembered my grandmother.”

In 1966, Dr. Karenga created Kwanzaa. He was studying the history of Africa at that time. Dr. Karenga wanted to create a holiday to bring African Americans together and celebrate their history and culture. He called the holiday “Kwanzaa”. In fact, the name comes from an African language, and it means “first fruits of the harvest (收穫季節)”.

【文章大意】寬扎節是對非裔美國人歷史和文化的慶祝日。它從12月26日開始持續到新年1月1日。本文介紹了寬扎節的來歷以及慶祝方式。

36. D推理判斷題。根據It begins on December 26th and continues until New Year's Day, January 1st.可知它從12月26日開始持續到新年1月1日。也就是其間有7天。故選D。

37. A細節理解題。根據Traditionally there are three green candles, three red candles and a central black candle.可知蠟燭有綠*、紅*和黑*。故選A。

38. D詞義判斷題。根據Traditionally there are three green candles, three red candles and a central black candle.可知一共有7支蠟燭，根據the seven Kwanzaa principles.可知有7項原則，可推斷他們是一一對應的，因此一支蠟燭代表一種原則，因此這個單詞為“代表”的意思。故選D。

39. C細節理解題。根據Last year, we remembered my grandmother.可知去年，他們想起來他們的外婆。這句話是Kyle說的。故選C。

40. B細節理解題。根據In 1966, Dr. Karenga created Kwanzaa.可知寬扎節是1966年創立的，到現在不到100年，A選項是錯誤的；根據In fact, the name comes from an African language…可知寬扎節名字來源於非洲語言，B選項是正確的；根據…bring African Americans together and celebrate their history and culture.可知寬扎節是為了慶祝他們的文化和歷史的，C選項是錯誤的；根據On the sixth day, which falls on New Year's Eve, family and friends get together to enjoy a large meal.可知在第六天的時候他們會一起吃一頓大餐，D選項是錯誤的。故選B。
