三、阅读理解。( 每题2分，共40分)

While popular in the US，the April Fool’s Day tradition is even more popular in European countries，such as France and Great Britain．Although the roots of the traditional tricking are unclear，the French and the British both have their own stories about the origin of the celebration．
One story holds that the first April Fool‘s Day was on April 1 of the year when the king of France introduced the new calendar．This new system placed the day that had formerly been the first day of a new year on April l．Many people were not used to the new calendar and continued(继续)to celebrate New Year’s Day on what had become the first day of April．Thus，they became the first April Fools．Others began to give funny gifts on the day to laugh at the fools who continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1．
An English story about the day，however，says that it began sometime during the 1200s．At the time，King John was in the habit of making roads out of the paths he most often walked along．The people of one particular farm village were aware of this．To avoid having their green grasslands and pastures(牧场)disturbed by one of the king’s roads，they built a fence that prevented the king from walking through their countryside．
The king sent a group of messengers(使者)to inform the villagers that they must remove the fence．Upon hearing that the king was planning to do this，however，the villagers developed a plan of their own．When the king’s messengers arrived，they were met by the villagers pretending to be mad．The people just throw things and ran around wildly．The messengers were surprised by this and reported to King John that these people were so mad that there was no necessity of punishing them．So，the villagers saved their farmland by tricking the king．In Great Britain，tradition only allows April Fool’s tricks from midnight to noon on April l．Those who try to play tricks in the afternoon become the fools themselves．
21．Which country has the origin of the celebration of April Fool’s Day？
A．Japan． B．France． C．Great Britain． D．Both B and C．
22．When was the first April Fool’s Day？
A．It was on April lst． B．It was on April 2nd．
C．It was on March lst． D．It was on May lst．
23．Why did French people become the first April Fools？
A．Because they were stupid．
B．Because they were not used to the new calendar and continued to celebrate New Year’s Day on what had become the first day of April．
C．Because they were happy to become the first April Fools．
D．Because they were given funny gifts on the day．
24．The underlined word“avoid”probably means“________”in Chinese．
A．加强 B．倡议 C．避免 D．建造
25．From the passage we can know that________．
A．April Fool’s Day is very popular in Asian countries

Up to now, Wood has published more than 60 diaries, and he still updates the diaries frequently on social media websites. In his first diary, he mentioned, “News is going around about a bad cold virus in Wuhan, but I feel worlds away from me and few people wear masks in public.”
He recorded in his diaries that thousands of medical workers from different provinces and cities went to Hubei to help with the anti-epidemic（抗疫）. Restaurants and shops were closed down, while supermarkets checked people’s body temperatures. And community workers across the country took strict action, asking people to stay at home and helping the old buy daily necessities.
“People in some countries said these measures could cause panic among the public. However, my experience in China shows these efforts are useful and effective, which finally removed people’s fear,” Wood said.
Wood’s diaries soon attracted the world’s attention. Over 10,000 people left him messages on Facebook, and he was interviewed by Canadian CTV which later showed his diaries on its website.
“I also received greetings from my family and friends in Canada. They said they were inspired by the efforts the Chinese have made,” he said. “People from some countries thought the Chinese overreacted, and that the Chinese government had overdone in epidemic prevention and control. However, since more countries and regions have been infected( 感染) by the virus, more and more people came to realize how proper and important China’s control and prevention measures are.”
Wood is working with the New World Press, which plans to make his diaries a book named The Invisible War. In this book, he hopes to share China’s anti-epidemic experience with more people across the world so they can build confidence to fight against the virus.

A. Business people’s work against the virus.
B. Different people’s efforts against the virus.

C. The measures would make people worry a lot.
D. The government took too strict measures to control the virus.
29. What caused some foreigners to change their thought
A. People’s infection in more countries and regions.
B. The worldwide news report on China’s measures.

Many of us enjoy watching animals in the wild. They usually make us pleased, cheer us up and, sometimes, even make us frightened. But do you know they can teach us Wild geese, for example, teach a very good lesson about teamwork.
In fall, Canada wild geese fly south to get away from Canada’s cold winter weather. They lift off in no order. Yet very quickly they form a V shape, with one bird leading the flock. Scientists have discovered that wild geese flying in a V shape can help them to save energy. In this way, they can fly 70 percent farther without rest than those flying alone.
What can human learn from this
Be an encourager. We have found that wild geese make sound in flight to encourage those that have fallen behind to keep up with the speed. Team members should regularly communicate with each other while working towards a common goal.
Take turns. The wild goose out in front has the hardest job as it has to break up the air currents（气流）. When it gets tired, it moves behind, and another goose moves to the front. By sharing the role, the flock can travel a long distance. Teams can get advantages from the same idea. Based on their experience and skills, people can take turns sharing the leadership role.
Set a good example. When wild geese are on the ground, if something frightens the leader, it might fly off. So does the flock. But if the leader stays calm, the flock will do the same. Wild geese and people usually imitate their leaders. When leading, we must remember that our actions and feelings will be passed on to our followers.
Whether it is in our personal lives or our work, we need other people. We are encouraged by their enthusiasm（热情）and energy. If we face the difficulties alone, the risks are greater. Like wild geese, when we work together, our burdens are lighter.
31. According to the passage, animals usually make people feel ________.
A. interested and relaxed B. pleased and cheerful
C. frightened and worried D. surprised and excited
32. How do wild geese encourage each other during the flight
A. By making sound. B. By following the leader.
C. By flying in a V shape. D. By taking turns to fly in front.
33. The underlined word “imitate” in the passage means “________”．
A. control B. stop C. warn D. follow
34. What can we infer（推断）from the passage
A. Taking turns to be the leader while flying is to search for more food.
B. It seems that working together can only be needed on our jobs.
C. By helping and sharing, our problem in life can be less difficult.
D. It is always useless for leaders to set an example to group members.
35. What is the passage mainly about
A. Art of leadership. B. Life of Wild Geese. C. Lessons from Wild Geese. D. Secrets of Flight.
【答案】31. B 32. A 33. D 34. C 35. C

33.词义猜测题。根据“But if the leader stays calm, the flock will do the same. Wild geese and people usually imitate their leaders.”可知，但如果领导者保持冷静，雁群也会这样做。大雁和人们通常模仿他们的领导人。所以单词“imitate”与D选项意思接近，故选D。
34.推理判断题。根据“Be an encourager.”以及“Take turns.”以及“Set a good example.”可知，互相提醒、互相帮助、互相分担工作内容会使困难的事情变得更加容易。故选C。
35.主旨大意题。根据“But do you know they can teach us Wild geese, for example, teach a very good lesson about teamwork.”以及文章的理解可知，主要通过讲述大雁的故事，告诉我们一个道理：团队协作。故选C。
D阅读还原。
Most people hate change, which is sad since we often go through big changes in life. And for some of us, even the smallest changes can upset one day. So the question is: Why do most of us find making changes to our lives so hard
___36___
Fear of change is nothing new. Over a century ago, people of Paris were unhappy over a particular addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, people were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested（抗议）it. ___37___. They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry. But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter. Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take, whom to marry. Voluntary（自愿的） changes also make most of us uneasy because we don’t know how those changes will affect our future.
___38___
People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger of change is to be flexible（灵活的）. ___39___ Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change take place faster than ever before. Those who refuse change, especially with technology in the workplace, may find themselves out of a job.
When change comes and you have no choice but to face it, accept it. A positive attitude helps a lot. In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to. ___40___ The change is the reality（现实）, and it’s up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know – your next change may be your life’s Eiffel Tower!
A. Although it might seem strange, their anger was completely natural.
B. When they are flexible, people can accept new situations more easily.
C. Don’t only focus on how you feel about change; instead decide to accept the change.
D. How we can overcome our fear of change
E. Why we dislike change
【答案】36. E 37. A 38. D 39. B 40. C
【解析】本文讲述了如何克服改变所带来的恐惧和愤怒。
36.根据“Voluntary（自愿的） changes also make most of us uneasy because we don’t know how those changes will affect our future.”可知，此处介绍我们不喜欢改变的原因，E项“为什么我们不喜欢改变？”符合语境，故选E。
37.根据“In fact, people were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested（抗议）it.”可知，他们对建造艾菲尔铁塔感到生气，A项“虽然看起来很奇怪，但他们的愤怒是完全自然的。”符合语境，故选A。

I overslept this morning because I stayed up late last night. By the time I woke up, my sister had gone into the bathroom. After she came out, I washed my face and brushed my teeth as soon as possible. Then I left home and ran towards the bus stop. Unluckily, when I got to the stop, the bus had gone.

While popular in the US，the April Fool’s Day tradition is even more popular in European countries，such as France and Great Britain．Although the roots of the traditional tricking are unclear，the French and the British both have their own stories about the origin of the celebration．
One story holds that the first April Fool‘s Day was on April 1 of the year when the king of France introduced the new calendar．This new system placed the day that had formerly been the first day of a new year on April l．Many people were not used to the new calendar and continued(继续)to celebrate New Year’s Day on what had become the first day of April．Thus，they became the first April Fools．Others began to give funny gifts on the day to laugh at the fools who continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1．
An English story about the day，however，says that it began sometime during the 1200s．At the time，King John was in the habit of making roads out of the paths he most often walked along．The people of one particular farm village were aware of this．To avoid having their green grasslands and pastures(牧场)disturbed by one of the king’s roads，they built a fence that prevented the king from walking through their countryside．
The king sent a group of messengers(使者)to inform the villagers that they must remove the fence．Upon hearing that the king was planning to do this，however，the villagers developed a plan of their own．When the king’s messengers arrived，they were met by the villagers pretending to be mad．The people just throw things and ran around wildly．The messengers were surprised by this and reported to King John that these people were so mad that there was no necessity of punishing them．So，the villagers saved their farmland by tricking the king．In Great Britain，tradition only allows April Fool’s tricks from midnight to noon on April l．Those who try to play tricks in the afternoon become the fools themselves．

A．Japan． B．France． C．Great Britain． D．Both B and C．
22．When was the first April Fool’s Day？

Up to now, Wood has published more than 60 diaries, and he still updates the diaries frequently on social media websites. In his first diary, he mentioned, “News is going around about a bad cold virus in Wuhan, but I feel worlds away from me and few people wear masks in public.”
He recorded in his diaries that thousands of medical workers from different provinces and cities went to Hubei to help with the anti-epidemic（抗疫）. Restaurants and shops were closed down, while supermarkets checked people’s body temperatures. And community workers across the country took strict action, asking people to stay at home and helping the old buy daily necessities.
“People in some countries said these measures could cause panic among the public. However, my experience in China shows these efforts are useful and effective, which finally removed people’s fear,” Wood said.
Wood’s diaries soon attracted the world’s attention. Over 10,000 people left him messages on Facebook, and he was interviewed by Canadian CTV which later showed his diaries on its website.
“I also received greetings from my family and friends in Canada. They said they were inspired by the efforts the Chinese have made,” he said. “People from some countries thought the Chinese overreacted, and that the Chinese government had overdone in epidemic prevention and control. However, since more countries and regions have been infected( 感染) by the virus, more and more people came to realize how proper and important China’s control and prevention measures are.”
Wood is working with the New World Press, which plans to make his diaries a book named The Invisible War. In this book, he hopes to share China’s anti-epidemic experience with more people across the world so they can build confidence to fight against the virus.

Many of us enjoy watching animals in the wild. They usually make us pleased, cheer us up and, sometimes, even make us frightened. But do you know they can teach us Wild geese, for example, teach a very good lesson about teamwork.
In fall, Canada wild geese fly south to get away from Canada’s cold winter weather. They lift off in no order. Yet very quickly they form a V shape, with one bird leading the flock. Scientists have discovered that wild geese flying in a V shape can help them to save energy. In this way, they can fly 70 percent farther without rest than those flying alone.
What can human learn from this
Be an encourager. We have found that wild geese make sound in flight to encourage those that have fallen behind to keep up with the speed. Team members should regularly communicate with each other while working towards a common goal.
Take turns. The wild goose out in front has the hardest job as it has to break up the air currents（气流）. When it gets tired, it moves behind, and another goose moves to the front. By sharing the role, the flock can travel a long distance. Teams can get advantages from the same idea. Based on their experience and skills, people can take turns sharing the leadership role.
Set a good example. When wild geese are on the ground, if something frightens the leader, it might fly off. So does the flock. But if the leader stays calm, the flock will do the same. Wild geese and people usually imitate their leaders. When leading, we must remember that our actions and feelings will be passed on to our followers.
Whether it is in our personal lives or our work, we need other people. We are encouraged by their enthusiasm（热情）and energy. If we face the difficulties alone, the risks are greater. Like wild geese, when we work together, our burdens are lighter.
31. According to the passage, animals usually make people feel ________.
A. interested and relaxed B. pleased and cheerful
C. frightened and worried D. surprised and excited
32. How do wild geese encourage each other during the flight
A. By making sound. B. By following the leader.
C. By flying in a V shape. D. By taking turns to fly in front.
33. The underlined word “imitate” in the passage means “________”．
A. control B. stop C. warn D. follow
34. What can we infer（推断）from the passage
A. Taking turns to be the leader while flying is to search for more food.
B. It seems that working together can only be needed on our jobs.
C. By helping and sharing, our problem in life can be less difficult.
D. It is always useless for leaders to set an example to group members.
35. What is the passage mainly about
A. Art of leadership. B. Life of Wild Geese. C. Lessons from Wild Geese. D. Secrets of Flight.
D阅读还原。
Most people hate change, which is sad since we often go through big changes in life. And for some of us, even the smallest changes can upset one day. So the question is: Why do most of us find making changes to our lives so hard
___36___
Fear of change is nothing new. Over a century ago, people of Paris were unhappy over a particular addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, people were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested（抗议）it. ___37___. They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry. But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter. Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take, whom to marry. Voluntary（自愿的） changes also make most of us uneasy because we don’t know how those changes will affect our future.
___38___
People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger of change is to be flexible（灵活的）. ___39___ Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change take place faster than ever before. Those who refuse change, especially with technology in the workplace, may find themselves out of a job.
When change comes and you have no choice but to face it, accept it. A positive attitude helps a lot. In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to. ___40___ The change is the reality（现实）, and it’s up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know – your next change may be your life’s Eiffel Tower!
A. Although it might seem strange, their anger was completely natural.
B. When they are flexible, people can accept new situations more easily.
C. Don’t only focus on how you feel about change; instead decide to accept the change.
D. How we can overcome our fear of change
E. Why we dislike change
