28．D 细节考查题。A、B和C项均在原文中的四、五段出现，只有D项没有提到。
29．B 词义猜测题。根据文章第五段最后 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一句话“It is a great honor to be chosen.”可知，vote 应与choose意义相近，意为“选举”。
30．A 推理判断题。从“All th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e students vote a most popular student”可知道这是学生之间的评选活动，而没有涉及“客人”或者是“队员”和“选手”。

38．D 本题考查推理判断，由第四段知Pat是泰国人。Songkran是泰国新年，又根据第一段知Miang来自泰国，故选D。
39．B 本题考查全文主旨。文中几位人物各自介绍了自己喜欢的节日，关键词应是多次出现的favorite holiday。
40．B 考查细节。A的诱答性 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )很强，但根据第二段最后一句mainly because it is Jesus' birthday，应该选B。
41．C 推理判断题。第三段“Th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ese costumes were first meant to hide personal identities.Then，different social classes could mix in a sea of happiness.”可知C项正确。
42．B 细节理解题。倒数第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )四段第一句话“By the 18th century，the carnival had reached its top.”与B项相符。
43．B 细节理解题。由倒数第五段．..is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) thought to have been started by the “Stocking Companies”．These were groups of young men who organized parties and festivals...可知答案为B项。
44．D 推理判断题。第七段中最后一句“F ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or shopkeepers，carnival is the best time of year.”这是一个常识问题，经商人挣钱多的时候是最好的时候。所以答案为D项。
45．A 主旨大意题。通过阅读全文可知本文介绍威尼斯是如何庆祝狂欢节的。B、C、D三项的内容只是文章的部分内容。

(2013·江门高一检测)P ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eople in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother's Day，on the second Sunday in May，and Father's Day，on the third Sunday in June.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents.They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens.They give love and care.These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers.More mothers now work outside the home.More fathers must help with child care.【版权所有：21教育】
These two speci ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )al days are celebrated in many different ways.On Mother's Day people wear carnations.A red one symbolizes a living mother.A white one shows that the mother is dead.Many people attend religious services to honor parents.It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery (公墓)．On these days families get together at home，as well as in restaurants.They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day.These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is to give cards and gifts.Children make them in school.Many people make their own presents.These are valued more than the ones bought in stores.It is not the value of the gift that is important，but it is “the thought that counts”．Greeting card stores，florists，candy makers，bakeries，telephone companies，other stores do lots of business during these holidays.2-1-c-n-j-y

It's hard to avoi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d looking like a fool on April Fool's Day.On April 1 each year，people play tricks on each other.These tricks are usually silly rather than mean.Classmates sometimes tie each other's shoelaces to their chairs.Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realize it's only a joke.Newspapers announce fake contests(such as“Win an elephant！”)and report on fake stories(like“UFO” lands in New York City)．
Forget gifts，songs ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and special foods—those are for the other holidays of the year.On April Fool's Day，the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble)．
One April Fool's ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Day，when I was in high school，a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers.They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria.The chickens ran all round the school，in and out of classrooms and under our feet.Feathers were flying everywhere.
Teachers began run ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ning after the chickens，trying to catch them.Finally，they caught four of them.But the chickens were wearing numbered tags(商标)around their necks，and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens No.1,2,3，and 5.Where was chicken No.4 【出处：21教育名师】
The teachers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )looked and looked.They couldn't find another chicken.After a few hours，they realized that the students had played another joke on them：There were only four chickens in the first place！They've been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.21教育名师原创作品
It's been a long time ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )since I was in high school，but that April Fool's Day remains one of my favorite memories from those years.

Ⅱ.1.D A、B、C三项均是对父母敬重的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )原因，只有D项是不正确的，从第一段中“They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens.They give love and care.”得出答案。21·cn·jy·com
2．B 从第一段第一句“Mother's D ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay，on the second Sunday in May，and Father's Day，on the third Sunday in June.”可知这两个节日不在同一个月；从第一段最后一句“More mothers now work outside the home.More fathers must help with child care.”可知现在有更多的母亲在外工作，可以推出“以前有较少的妇女在外工作”，所以B项为正确答案；C和D项中的说法文中并没有提到。
3．C 词义猜测题。从文章第二段可知carnation 是康乃馨。
4．A 细节理解题。认真阅读文章的第二 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段，尤其是“On these days families get together at home，as well as in restaurants.”这句话，可知答案是A项。B项陈述不正确是因为“It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(公墓)．”，并不是所有人都去扫墓。C项文中未提到。由第三段的二至四句可知D项不准确，应该为hand?made gifts。2·1·c·n·j·y
5．A 词义猜测题。根据 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )构词法，名词后缀?ist，表示“……主义者”及专业人员，可知此处的florists为花商。因此花商要趁此节日销售鲜花。

Carnival today i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s an international，multicultural experience.But how did it become so？To understand what carnival is all about，we need to look at the history of America and the meeting of two cultures—European and African.
The arrival of E ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uropeans in America，and the opening of huge farms and plantations to grow cotton，fruit and vegetables，meant there was an immediate need for people to work on them.This marked the beginning of the slave trade.For more than two hundred years，until the beginning of the 19th century，when the trade was finally stopped，millions of people were taken by force from their homes in Africa and transported to the New World to work as slaves.Six million were taken to the Caribbean islands where there were British and French landowners.
Naturally，th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e Europeans also imported their own festivals.So the slaves were forced to watch as their masters celebrated carnival with food，drink，and masked dances.In Trinidad，the slaves began to hold their own carnival celebrations：they painted their faces white，imitating their masters and making fun of them.But at the same time they were continuing their own African traditions—such as walking round a village wearing masks and singing—a custom which they thought would bring good luck. 21*cnjy*com
When the slave ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )trade was abolished in 1838 the former slaves took over the carnival.It became more colourful and more exciting than it had been before.Magnificent costumes were made and musical bands created.Carnival became a celebration of freedom.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
With the passin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g of time，the white inhabitants of the island began to take part in the carnival，too—and they were welcomed by their former slaves.Carnival became a way to unite different communities，as people forgot their everyday problems and enjoyed themselves eating，drinking，and dancing.Today，visitors from all over the world come to this small state in the Caribbean to join in the fun.Carnival has become a celebration of life itself.21教育名师原创作品

Ⅱ.【语篇解读】 圣诞节这天，天 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )下着雨，我们一家开车去爷爷奶奶家共进圣诞晚餐，我和妹妹盼望着到家后拿到圣诞礼物。路上碰到在加油站避雨等车的一家人，他们等了许久车也没有来。爸爸不忍心，调转车头让一家人上了车。得知这家的孩子还没有圣诞礼物，爸爸把他们带到我们家，把我和妹妹的礼物给了他们。多年过去这件事我还记忆犹新，我们明白了这样的道理：给别人带来快乐就是最大的快乐。www-2-1-cnjy-com

4．C 考查推理。根据第四段可知，废除奴隶买卖后奴隶成了狂欢节的主角，节日变得更丰富多彩更刺激，成为庆祝自由的节日。
5．B 考查具体细节及宏观结构。做排序题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的方法为：先看两头作排除，后看中间定答案。根据文章第三段知欧洲殖民者最早庆祝狂欢节，确定AB之间选择；根据三四段可知奴隶先是被动参加，后有了自己的庆祝方式：取笑奴隶主，后奴隶制废除，狂欢活动演变为庆祝自由的节日。至此即可确定答案为B。再后来本地白人加入，今天世界各地人们前往。
