How's your vacation I'm visiting my uncle in Spain. He lives in the sunny and beautiful city of Valencia, in Spain.
Yesterday, I had great fun. My uncle took me to the tomato festival in Bunol, which is just 30 miles away from where my uncle lives. You have probably never heard of this festival before. Neither have I. The tomato festival is called "La Tomatina" in Spanish. It is the biggest and messiest tomato fight in the world. When we first got to the square where the festival took place, it was very crowded with people from all around the world, and many trucks were carrying tomatoes. My uncle told me the crowded people here were around 38,000 and this was more than four times the population of Bunol.
The tomato fight started as soon as the first banger was beaten. Then everyone including me started throwing tomatoes at each other. I took red tomatoes and threw them at anyone that ran, moved, bent down, or turned around. Tomatoes must be squashed(捏扁) before people threw them in order not to hurt anybody.
After a little while, the streets, people and nearby buildings were splashed(溅起) with red. In spite of no winner in this fight, we all had joy. As soon as a second banger was beaten, people stopped throwing.
I really had a great time. I wish you had been here, too. I hope to hear from you soon. Take care.
From Spain,
Linda

Over 40 years ago, a country music DJ convention (大会) was held every year in Nashville, Tennessee. Many country performers used to attend (参加) the convention to give their performances. Fans would go to Nashville hoping to see their favorite performers. In the end, so many fans began showing up in Nashville that a festival named Fan Fair was born.
The first Fan Fair was held in April 1972, in Nashville for four days. Some of country music's biggest stars attended. There were about fifty thousand fans. The first Fan Fair was so successful that planning began almost immediately for 1973. The date was changed to June, when the weather would be better. Over one hundred thousand fans attended the second Fan Fair.
Every year brought so many performers and fans to Fan Fair that, in 1982, it was moved to the Tennessee State Fairgrounds. Fan Fair stayed at the fairgrounds for another nineteen years.
There was always the unexpected during the festival. In 1974, former Beatle Paul McCartney attended. In 1992, more than six hundred reporters from Europe, Asia, and South America went to cover the appearance of a popular star, Billy Ray Cyrus, who had introduced a new country line dance. In 1996, Garth Brooks, who made a surprise appearance, signed autographs (签名) for 23 hours.
In 2001, Fan Fair returned to downtown Nashville as the world's biggest country music festival. Now, over one hundred and twenty-five thousand country music fans go to Nashville every June. As you can imagine, those who want to attend Fan Fair must plan ahead. For example, they need to buy a ticket several months ahead of time. Of course, there's much more to prepare.

A. has a history of more than 50 years

It may seem as if Mother's Day was invented by a company named Hallmark, but people have been taking time on the calendar to give a shout-out to Mom for a long time. The Greeks and Romans had mother goddess festivals — although their celebrations didn't involve the menfolk taking their underappreciated mothers out to dinner. A more recent tradition was Mothering Sunday, which developed in the British Isles during the 16th century. On the fourth Sunday in April, young men and women who were living and working apart from their families were advised to return to their mothers' houses.
Mother's Day as it is observed in the United States started in the 1850s with Ann Jarvis, a West Virginia woman who held "Mothers' Work Days" to promote health and hygiene(卫生) at home and in the workplace. During the Civil War, Jarvis organized women to improve sanitary conditions for soldiers on both sides, and after the war she became a peacemaker, furthering the cause by bringing together mothers of Union and Confederate soldiers and promoting a Mother's Day holiday.
Jarvis's work inspired another 19th-century woman, Julia Ward Howe. In 1870 Howe published her "Mother's Day Proclamation", which envisioned the day not as appreciation of mothers by their children but as an opportunity for women to exercise their collective power for peace. Howe started holding annual Mother's Day celebrations in Boston, her hometown, but after about a decade she stopped footing the bill and the tradition faded away.
It was Jarvis's daughter Anna who succeeded in getting Mother's Day recognized as a national holiday. After her mother died, in May 1905, Anna started holding yearly ceremony on the anniversary and conducting a tireless PR campaign to have the day made a holiday. In 1908 she succeeded in enlisting the support of John Wanamaker, the Philadelphia department store magnate and advertising pioneer, and by 1912 West Virginia and a few other states had adopted Mother's Day. Two years later, President Woodrow Wilson signed a resolution declaring the second Sunday in May a national holiday.
It wasn't long, though, before whatever ideals the day was supposed to celebrate were buried under an amount of greeting cards and candy. By the 1920s Anna Jarvis was campaigning against the holiday she had been instrumental in creating. "I wanted it to be a day of emotionalism, not profit," she said.
1.The first paragraph suggests that .
A. mothers didn't get enough appreciation
B. Mother's Day was invented by Hallmark
C. young people returned to their mothers' houses
D. Greeks and Romans were the first to celebrate Mother's Day
2.Who plays the most important role in creating Mother's Day
A. Ann Jarvis. B. Julia Ward Howe.
C. Woodrow Wilson. D. Anna Jarvis.
3.Why did Anna Jarvis object to Mother's Day at last
A. Because it was an emotional day.
B. Because the festival was not profitable.
C. Because the celebrations went against the original spirit.
D. Because the day was buried under greeting cards and candy.
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. The Objection to Mother's Day
B. The Argument on Celebrating Mother's Day
C. The Story Behind the Creation of Mother's Day
D. Different Form of Celebrations on Mother's Day

Benefits of Reading
The benefits of reading start with the first book a baby hears and continue into childhood and throughout the child's life. Here are some reasons why reading is important.
Reading teaches children about the world around them.① _____They are exposed to ways of life, ideas and beliefs about the world which may be different from those which surround them. This builds a store of background knowledge, which helps younger children learn to read confidently.
②______When we read, our brains translate the descriptions we read of people, places and things into pictures. When we are reading a story, we are also imagining how the characters are feeling. We use our own experiences to imagine how we would feel in the same situation
Children who read do better at school. And they don't just do better at subjects like reading, English and history. ③______
Reading is a great form of entertainment! A paperback book or an e-reader doesn't take up much space so you can take it anywhere and you'll never be lonely or bored if you have a book in your bag. ④______
Reading relaxes the body and calms the mind. ⑤______The constant movement, flashing lights and noise are quite stressful for our brains. When we read in silence, the black print on a white page is much less stressful for our eyes and brains.
A. Reading improves concentration.
B. Reading develops a child's imagination.
C. We seem to have forgotten how to relax and how to be silent.
D. Children learn new words and greatly enlarge their vocabulary.
E. They do better at all subjects and they do better all the day through school.
F. You can read while waiting for a friend or during a flight delay at an airport.
G. By reading, children learn about people, places and events outside their own experience.

Tom has an aunt who lives in a far-off village. He hadn't seen her for two years and he really missed her.
Tom spent a lot of time with his aunt when he was a little boy. At that time, his parents were too busy with their work, so they sent him to his aunt. It was his aunt who took care of him for a long time. He remembered that back then a girl sometimes played with him. But he couldn't remember her clearly. After all, it had been so many years before.
Last week, Tom decided to visit his aunt. And he called her first.
"Hello, Auntie. This is Tom. How are you " asked Tom over the phone.
"I'm fine, Tom. Thanks. I'm just a bit lonely," said Tom's aunt. Hearing that, he knew he had made a right decision.
"I'm coming this weekend. I want to spend the weekend with you," he immediately said, thinking his aunt would be surely full of joy.
"Really That's great! I miss you so much." his aunt said excitedly.
Tom set off on Friday afternoon. He thought he would arrive by bus in the evening, but there was an accident on the road and all the traffic was stopped for almost an hour. When he got off the bus, it was getting dark.
It's a ten-minute walk from the bus station to his aunt's house. The village had experienced a lot of changes. Tom looked around curiously. Just at that moment, another bus stopped and a girl got off the bus. The girl passed by Tom and began to walk into the village. Thinking that his aunt was waiting for him, Tom began to walk into the village, too.
He walked behind the girl. After about two minutes, it seemed that the girl noticed him. She looked back hurriedly, and then continued to walk. Moments later, the girl looked back again and then quickened her pace.

2.答案：D
解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段，第四段"Mother's Day as it is observed in the United States started in the 1850s with Ann Jarvis ，a West Virginia woman who held "Mothers' Work Days" to promote health and hygiene(卫生) at home and in the workplace. After her mother died, in May 1905, Anna started holding yearly ceremony on the anniversary and conducting a tireless PR campaign to have the day made a holiday. In 1908 she succeeded in enlisting the support of John Wanamaker, the Philadelphia department store magnate and advertising pioneer, and by 1912 West Virginia and a few other states had adopted Mother's Day. Two years later, President Woodrow Wilson signed a resolution declaring the second Sunday in May a national holiday"，在19世纪50年代美国的母亲工作日，并倡导推动母亲节。1905年5月，安娜的母亲去世后，她开始每年举行周年纪念仪式，并进行不懈的公关活动，让这一天成为节日。1908年，她成功地获得了费城百货公司巨头和广告先锋约翰·W·阿纳梅克的支持，到1912年，西弗吉尼亚和其他几个州都采用了母亲节。两年后，伍德罗·威尔逊总统签署了一项决议，宣布5月的第二个星期天为国家假日。由此可知，安娜·贾维斯在母亲节的创 立方面起了重要的作用。故D项符合题意。故选D。
3.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据文章中"Ann Jarvis, ... held 'Mothers' Work Days' to promote health and hygiene(卫生) at home and in the workplace"举办"母亲工作日"活动，以促进家庭和工作场所的健康和卫生 。"In 1870 Howe published her 'Mother's Day Proclamation', which envisioned the day not as appreciation of mothers by their children but as an opportunity for women to exercise their collective power for peace."豪发表了她的"母亲节宣言"，该宣言认为母亲节不是孩子对母亲的赞赏，而是妇女行使集体力量争取和平的机会。最后一段"It wasn't long, though, before whatever ideals the day was supposed to celebrate were buried under an amount of greeting cards and candy. By the 1920s Anna Jarvis was campaigning against the holiday she had been instrumental in creating. 'I wanted it to be a day of emotionalism, not profit,' she said".没过多久，这一天本该庆祝理想的东西被大量的贺卡和糖果掩埋了。到了20世纪20年代，安娜·贾维斯(Anna Jarvis)发起了反对这个节日的运动。她说:"我希望这一天充满感情的，而不是利益的。可知，现在的母亲节已与最初的母亲节的精神相悖， C正确。故选C。
4.答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句"It may seem as if Mother's Day was invented..."是文章的主题句，告诉我们母亲节是是如何创立，其中的invent与C项中的"Creation"的动词create是同义词。从第二段到最后叙述了19世纪50年代安 贾维斯(Ann Jarvis)举办"母亲工作日"活动。1870年，朱莉娅 沃德 豪受其影响，发表了 "母亲节宣言"。1905年5月，安娜在母亲去世后，开始每年举行周年纪念仪式，并让这一天成为节日。1912年，西弗吉尼亚州和其他几个州已经接纳了母亲节。两年后，伍德罗威尔逊总统签署了一项决议，宣布五月的第二个星期天为国定假日。由此可推断出：本文主要叙述母亲节创立的背景故事。分析选项可知C项符合题意。故选C。
第二节
答案：①-⑤ GBEFC

④根据上文you'll never be lonely or bored if you have a book in your bag.可知，如果你的书包里有一本书，你永远不会感到孤独或无聊。所以选项这里举例说明，在机场等待朋友或航班延误时，如果你阅读书籍，就不会感到无聊。故F选项"在机场等待朋友或航班延误时，如果你阅读书籍，就不会感到无聊"故选F。
⑤根据上文Reading relaxes the body and calms the mind.可知，阅读可以放松身体，平静心灵。选项说明人们我们似乎忘记了如何放松，如何保持沉默，而阅读可以放松身体，安抚心灵。故C选项"我们似乎忘记了如何放松，如何保持沉默"切题。故选C。

第二节
答案：①on ②official ③was shot ④highest ⑤fifteenth ⑥disagreed ⑦warning ⑧a ⑨that ⑩destruction
解析：①考查介词。句意：元宵节是在农历正月十五。动词短语fall on意为"发生，适逢(某一日期)"，具体的某一天前要用介词on。故填on。
②考查形容词。句意：这个节日也标志着长假的正式结束。设空处作定语，修饰名词end，应用office的形容词形式official，意为"正式的，官方的"。故填official。
③考查动词时态和语态。句意：根据一个传说，在古代，有一只仙界天鹅来到人间，被一个猎人击落。设空处为where引导的定语从句的谓语动词，动词shoot与其主语it之间为动宾关系，构成被动关系，因主句谓语动词用一般过去时，故此处用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was shot。
④考查形容词的最高级。句意：玉皇大帝，天界地位最高的神，对此很生气。根据句意及空前的定冠词the可知，此处用形容词的最高级形式。故填highest。
⑤考查序数词。句意：他计划在农历正月十五袭击地球，命令消灭所有的人和动物。表示"第几"要用序数词。故填fifteenth。
⑥考查动词时态。句意：但另一个神不同意他的观点，冒险警告地上的人。分析句子可知，提示词是句中谓语动词，此处讲述元宵节的来历，是过去发生的事，故用一般过去时。故填disagreed。
⑦考查非谓语动词。句意：但另一个神不同意他的观点，冒险警告地上的人。risk doing sth意为"冒险做某事"，risk后接动名词形式作宾语。故填warning。
⑧考查冠词。句意：因此，正月十五前后，家家户户都在门外挂起红灯笼，燃放鞭炮，给人一种家里已经着火的印象。as a result意为"因此，结果"，为固定搭配。故填a。
⑨考查名词性从句。句意：因此，正月十五前后，家家户户都在门外挂起红灯笼，燃放鞭炮，给人一种家里已经着火的印象。分析句子可知，设空处引导修饰impression的同位语从句，且从句中不缺少任何成分，故用连词that引导同位语从句。故填that。
⑩考查名词。句意：用这种方法成功地骗过了玉皇大帝，人类得以免于毁灭。save sth from destruction意为"使某物免于毁灭"；设空处作介词from的宾语，故用destruct的名词形式destruction。故填destruction。
第三部分 写作
第一节
答案：
Dear Tom,
How is everything going Learning that you are interested in Chinese summer vacation, I am delighted to share some information with you.
For Chinese students, the summer vacation usually lasts for more than 1 month, during which time students' activities can be various, ranging from academic improvement to hobby cultivation. Some may be occupied with after-school classes so as to enrich themselves mentally; some may take up more sports to keep physically fit; others may join their friends so that they could get entertained together.
As for me, this summer vacation is the most unforgettable. Short though it was, I spent a fulfilling and rewarding one. The highlight was my voluntary experience in the nursing home, where I had a good chat with the elderly and listened to their life stories. By practicing the voluntary spirit, not only have I gained a better knowledge of the senior citizens but I also have done my bit for the society.
Hopefully, my information can be of help. If you have any doubt, do feel free to ask me.
Yours
Li Hua
