四、阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)
A
Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy.It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick,the aged,and children who have lost their parents,but also friends,workmates,relatives and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.
Over 60 years ago,when a Cleveland man noticed that some people,such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed,too often felt forgotten and neglected,he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered.He did this by giving them small gifts.With the help of his friends and neighbors,he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October.During the years that followed,other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration,which came to be called “Sweetest Day”.Over time,the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor,the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone,and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift.Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA.
Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious(宗教的)beliefs or on a family relationship.It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.
Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift-giving,Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care,in a positive(积极的)way.
56What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.Sweetest Day is a day to make others happy.
B.Sweetest Day is just an occasion to care about disabled people.
C.Sweetest Day is an occasion for lovers to express love.
D.Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in October.
解析:细节理解题。由第一段第一句可知,Sweetest Day就是让他人高兴的一天。
答案:A
57Which of the following has little relationship to Sweetest Day
A.Visiting sick people in hospital.
B.Visiting children who have lost their parents.
C.Giving friends small gifts.
D.Giving flowers to sweethearts.
解析:推理判断题。由整篇文章的叙述可知,在Sweetest Day这一天,人们要记住病人、老人、孤儿、朋友、同事、家人和邻居,因此A、B、C三项的叙述符合文意,而D项(给爱人送花)并没有提及。
答案:D
58What is Cleveland
A.An island.
B.A country.
C.A village in England.
D.A city in America.
解析:推理判断题。第二段第一句提到了a Cleveland man,第二段最后一句提到了the idea spread to other cities all over the USA,由此推出克里夫兰(Cleveland)是美国的一个城市。
答案:D
59What do most people usually do to show their care to others according to the passage
A.They give money. B.They give gifts.
C.They send regards. D.They offer help.
解析:细节理解题。由第一段和第二段的叙述可知,大多数人在Sweetest Day主要通过送礼物来表达对他人的关心。
答案:B
B
The First of May is a Bank Holiday—the first public holiday of the year in England.
Most people consider it a special day,as the beginning of summer,as a day when the light lasts long into the evening,and when we can look for warm weather.We don’t always get it.We feel disappointed,but not surprised if there are cold winds and frosts at night in May.Winter should be over.Most people know that in the past,when farming occupied almost everyone,the changing seasons were of great importance.In that older time there was every reason to celebrate May Day.Customs of those celebrations remained.
Of these customs,the best known is the choosing of a May Queen and the dancing round Maypole.Even these customs are little more than memories now—but in the last century it was quite common in villages and small towns,and even in schools and colleges,for a pretty and popular girl to be chosen Queen of the May.It was a great honour to be chosen.For a day she wore a light and flowery dress,carried garlands(花环),and was ceremonially crowned with flowers.She presided over a procession,as a rule with a number of attendants,and over the Maypole dancing and all kinds of entertainment.The Maypole was a slender(苗条的)tree trunk,cut off its branches,with beautiful ribbons fastened to the top.The dancing was designed in such a way that the dancer’s movements move the ribbons into a pattern.This,as you can imagine,required skill from the dancer,and was not achieved without practice.
It’s the Celtic(凯尔特的)people who celebrated the First of May as a spring festival.Their celebration seems to have had little to do with taking pleasure in early,beautiful flowers and in warmer weather!They called it Beltane—the fire of the god Bel.They lit fires,in the expectation that their blaze would help the sun in its struggle to regain its strength.They drove their cattle between banks of flame in the expectation that the terrified beasts would be purified(净化)and protected from disease.A tree,which must have been blackened with smoke,stood in the middle of the fires,and is thought to have been the origin of the Maypole.Their priests(牧师)made sacrifices to the gods in the hope of good harvests and sufficient store of food for the winter.There was dancing certainly,but it was noisy and cheerful,since its purpose was not to weave a pattern of colored ribbons,but to drive out evil spirits from the earth and to arouse those kind spirits.
60The main purpose of the passage is to show 　　　.
A.the reason why they celebrate May Day
B.the start and customs of May Day
C.the way they celebrate May Day
D.the choosing of a May Queen during May Day
解析:主旨大意题。通过阅读全文可知本文介绍了五月节的兴起和习俗,A、C、D三项的内容只是文章的部分内容。
答案:B
61According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true
A.In the old days they celebrated May Day for the changing of the seasons.
B.In England summer begins at the first of May.
C.The custom of choosing a May Queen still exists in the present May Day celebration.
D.The Celtic people celebrated the First of May as a spring festival.
解析:细节判断题。阅读本文第三段即可得知:选拔五月王后只是记忆中的事了,它只盛行于上个世纪。其他选项均可在第一、二段及最后一段找到相符的内容。
答案:C
62The underlined word “presided” in the third paragraph means 　　　.
A.管理 B.越过
C.指挥 D.主持
解析:词义猜测题。被选为五月王后是一种荣耀,她穿着漂亮的裙子,戴着花环,还有用花做的王冠,主持着有很多人参加的各种各样的娱乐活动,根据上下文判断它的意思应该是“主持”。
答案:D
63The best title of this passage is 　　　.
A.The First of May

D.The Holiday of the Year
解析:主旨归纳题。纵观全文,The First of May可以说是文章的关键词,它反复出现了很多次,整篇文章都是在介绍这个节日。A项概括归纳了全文的内容,而其他选项只涉及了全文中的部分内容,比较片面。
答案:A
C
February has long been a month of romance.With the sweet smell of roses in the air,romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.
On the 14th day,it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner,buy her flowers and chocolates,write poems,sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals!This is what you see on Valentine’s Day,a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome.When the emperor(皇帝)decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives,he didn’t allow marriage.
But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret.When his actions were discovered,the emperor sentenced him to death.While in prison,it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard.Before his death,he wrote her a letter,which he signed “From your Valentine”,an expression that is still in use today.Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint(圣徒),as well as becoming one of history’s most romantic characters.
Nowadays,Valentine’s Day is also popular among Chinese young people.Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents,teachers and friends.Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes.The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St.Valentine.
64Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country
A.Because there were few women in his country at that time.
B.Because he thought men without wives could be better soldiers.
C.Because there wasn’t enough food for so many people.
D.Because he wanted to control the birth rate.

答案:B
65Valentine was put into prison because 　　　.
A.he killed one of the soldiers
B.he stole a lot of food
C.he didn’t obey the emperor’s order
D.he didn’t want to be a soldier
解析:细节理解题。由第二段最后一句可知,皇帝不允许结婚;由第三段第一、二句可知,瓦伦廷仍为年轻人主婚,因此皇帝判他死刑。
答案:C
66The last paragraph mainly tells us 　　　.
A.students in China send cards to their teachers
B.it is a good idea to celebrate Valentine’s Day in China
C.it is interesting to celebrate Valentine’s Day in China
D.Valentine’s Day is also popular in China now
解析:主旨大意题。最后一段第一句“Nowadays,Valentine’s Day is also popular among Chinese young people.”就是该段的主题句,即:情人节在中国也开始受欢迎起来。
答案:D
67The best title for this passage should be 　　　.
A.Valentine’s Day
B.A Brave Priest

New Year’s Day is an holiday in the United Kingdom and a legal federal holiday in the United States.On the day,schools,government offices and banks are closing.On New Year’s Eve many churches have “watch parties” as people wait the New Year,which begin at midnight,and pray for a good year.In England people also held parties and dances.In many large towns and cities there has a public gathering to “see the New Year in”.The largest and liveliest gathering is usual held in Trafalgar Square,London.In the United States,many people go to New Year’s Eve parties.Crowds gather at public places.At the midnight,bells ring,and everyone shouts,cheers to talk goodbye to the Old Year and to welcome the New Year.
答案与解析:
第一句:an→a　解析:名词holiday是以辅音因素开头,因此其前的不定冠词应用a不用an。
第二句:closing→closed
第三句:wait后加for　解析:wait是不及物动词,接宾语时wait后接介词for。
第三句:begin→begins　解析:which代替先行词the New Year,其后的谓语动词应用第三人称单数。
第四句:held→hold　解析:这篇短文的时态为一般现在时态,因此应用hold。
第五句:has→is　解析:there be结构表示存在的“有”,there后不接实义动词have的各种形式。
第六句:usual→usually　解析:修饰动词held应用副词。
第八句:at→in　解析:表示“在公共场所”应用介词in。
第九句:去掉第一个the　解析:词组“at midnight”表示“在午夜”,中间没有冠词the。
第九句:talk→say　解析:表示“与……道别”应用say goodbye to。
