While established by Woodrow Wilson as a holiday in the United States in 1911, the practice of recognizing mothers on a specific day or time of year has spread to more than 40 countries. Here's a look at the various traditions.
France
Mother's Day in France only started in the 1950s. After World War I, it was celebrated on the last Sunday in May, unless it conflicted with the Pentecost(五旬节). If it did, mothers were celebrated on the first Sunday of June. Regardless of the day, a traditional gif is a flower-shaped cake.
Japan
Following WWI, Mother's Day in Japan gained some popularity, and it is now celebrated on the second Sunday of May. Gifts include red or pink conations(康乃馨) as they symbolize sweetness and purity. Children will often draw pictures of their mothers and present them to mom in addition to preparing dishes that their mothers have taught them.
Sweden
Celebrated on the last Sunday in May, the day isn't all that different from the U. S. version. There's breakfast in bed and homemade cards and the like. One difference is that the Swedish Red Cross collects money by selling red plastic flowers. The money from the flowers goes to mothers and children in need.
Thailand
While all mothers are recognized during Mother's Day in Thailand, the holiday is largely centered on Sirikit, the queen mother of Thailand. Mother's Day is celebrated on her birthday, August 12, and public places and households are decorated with lights and pictures of Sirikit. Flowers like jasmine are popular gifts.
1. What do Japanese children usually do for their mothers on Mother's Day
A. Buy pictures. B. Cook meals. C. Grow flowers. D. Present cards.
2. Which country has a fixed date for Mother's Day
A. France. B. Japan. C. Thailand. D. Sweden.
3. What's the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To tell us how different countries celebrate Mother's Day.

I had heard about VR (虚拟现实) being used in the classroom but didn’t think I’d ever try it. I actually got a VR headset (耳机) as a New Year present from my friend and started searching for apps online to see whether it could be useful in my classroom. I soon found a free app through Google Cardboard and knew I had a lesson!
To use VR in the classroom, you need two things: a smartphone that can download the app or video, and a headset. To find the actual videos we’d be watching, I searched through free VR apps like Orbulus, Trench Experience VR and Cardboard. I also found hundreds of videos on YouTube. The key is to find videos made with the 360 cameras. While they don’t give the kids a 3-D experience like the apps, they are still amazingly immersive (沉浸式虚拟现实的) when viewed through the headsets.
So far we’ve had three lessons. I first used the headsets with my seventh grade U. S. History class. The Trench app allows students to “walk” through a trench (战壕) during World War Ⅰ and learn about many of the tools used during that time. My second activity was working with the sixth grade Geography class. They used the headsets strictly as viewers to watch a 360 video taking them through a rocky landscape. My final activity was the most interesting one, according to the reactions (反应) of my eighth grade Civics students. I was able to find a White House 360 tour that was made a few years ago.
For the rest of this year, I plan to continue using apps and 360 videos in my classes. Next year I’m going to write to my boss asking for a 360 video camera so that I can begin to create my own VR field trips for the students.
4. When did the author get the idea of trying VR in her classroom
A. When she was searching for apps online.
B. After she received a VR headset as a gift.
C. When she was having a conversation with her friend.
D. After she heard about VR being used in the classroom.
5. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. The kids. B. The apps.
C. The videos. D. The headsets.
6. Which statement of the three VR lessons is true
A. Reactions of students in the Civics lesson are best.
B. Walking through a trench during World War Ⅰ scared the students.
C. Students experienced a rocky landscape in the U. S. history class.
D. A White House 360 tour made a few years ago was not suitable for watch.
7. What will the author do next year
A. Buy a 360 video camera.
B. Create 360 videos by herself.
C. Take her students on more field trips.
D. Try new teaching methods in her classes.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】

【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段第三句和第四句“I also found hundreds of videos on YouTube. The key is to find videos made with the 360 cameras.(我还在YouTube上找到了数百个视频。关键是找到用360度摄像机拍摄的视频。)”可知,此处是指虽然这些视频不像应用程序那样给孩子们3D体验,所以they代指“视频”。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段倒第二句“My final activity was the most interesting one, according to the reactions (反应) of my eighth grade Civics students.(根据八年级公民学学生的反应,我的最后一个活动是最有趣的。)”可知,学生在公民课上的反应最好。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“Next year I’m going to write to my boss asking for a 360 video camera so that I can begin to create my own VR field trips for the students.(明年我打算写信给我的老板,向他要一台360度摄像机,这样我就可以开始为学生们制作我自己的VR实地考察了。)”可知,下年作者会自己制作360度视频。故选B。
C
Sometimes it takes a crisis (危机) to bring friends together. When Hurricane (飓风) Maria went through the island of Cayo Santiago in 2017, the monkeys living there became kinder toward each other, according to a study published in the journal Current Biology.
The findings show the monkeys made more friends and became more patient to one another. Although the hurricane destroyed two-thirds of the plants on the “Monkey Island”, the increased competition for resources caused the monkeys to become more amicable, which helped them widen their friendship circles.
“We expected the monkeys would use their closest partners to deal with the destruction of the hurricane and so would strengthen their existing relationships,” said lead author Testard.
But that was not what happened. Instead, the monkeys built new relationships, rather than strengthening their old ones, which surprised the researchers. Monkeys that were the most lonely before the storm increased social connections the most afterward. The study showed that monkeys often befriended the friends of their friends. This “easy” way to making friends is often mirrored in human society.
The findings could also indicate how people might deal with the increasing threat of climate change. The monkeys are close evolutionary relatives to humans and share many features of their biology and behavior with human beings. The climate crisis has increased the likelihood of extreme weather events and natural disasters. Humans can learn a thing or two from studying how the monkeys cope with the unpleasant effects of climate change.
The main takeaway the study offers humans: go beyond your close-knit circle of friends and form a broader social network to survive tough times. “Our best friends can give us many things. But sometimes, what we need is a social network where everyone is just friendly enough,” Testard says.
8. What does the underlined word “amicable” probably mean
A. Attacking. B. Frightening. C. Friendly. D. Energetic.
9. What shocked researchers about the monkeys in crisis
A. They shared the limited resources. B. They took advantage of old bonds.
C. They established new relationships. D. Isolated monkeys were most popular.
10. What does the last paragraph focus on about the study
A. Its process. B. Its result. C. Its purpose. D. Its significance.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Ups and Downs of the Monkey Island
B. Connection between Humans and Monkeys
C. A Crisis Leads to New Monkey Friendships
D. Learn from Monkeys for Broader Social Network
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了当飓风过境时,圣地亚哥岛上猴子建立了新的友谊。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“The findings show the monkeys made more friends and became more patient to one another.”(研究结果显示,猴子们结交了更多的朋友,对彼此也变得更有耐心。)以及“which helped them widen their friendship circles.”(这有助于它们扩大友谊圈。)可知,猴子们在飓风之后变得更加友好,这有助于它们扩大友谊圈,推测划线单词表示“友好的”,与friendly同义。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Instead, the monkeys built new relationships, rather than strengthening their old ones, which surprised the researchers.”(相反,猴子们建立了新的关系,而不是巩固他们的旧关系,这让研究人员感到惊讶。)可知,使研究人员感到惊讶的是猴子们建立了新的关系,而不是巩固旧关系。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The main takeaway the study offers humans: go beyond your close-knit circle of friends and form a broader social network to survive tough times.”(这项研究为人类提供的主要好处是:超越紧密的朋友圈,建立更广泛的社交网络,度过艰难时期。)可知,本段主要介绍了这项研究为人类提供的好处,即这项研究的意义。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“When Hurricane (飓风) Maria went through the island of Cayo Santiago in 2017, the monkeys living there became kinder toward each other, according to a study published in the journal Current Biology.”(根据发表在《当代生物学》杂志上的一项研究,2017年飓风玛丽亚袭击圣地亚哥卡约岛时,生活在那里的猴子对彼此变得更友好了。)文章主要介绍了当飓风过境时,圣地亚哥岛上的猴子建立了新的友谊,所以“危机带来猴子之间新的友谊”可以作为文章标题。故选C项。

Schools in US are huge consumers (消费者) of energy. According to ENERGY STAR, K-12 schools spend more than $ 6 billion every year on energy, far more than the amount spent on other resources, and at least 30 percent of this energy is used inefficiently or needlessly.
Realizing that, some schools are looking for measures to save energy in several ways, from low-cost adjustments, such as turning off lights in unused rooms, to large-scale projects, such as turning to green equipment.
As solar energy (太阳能) is becoming a more financial choice for powering buildings, more schools are making the move toward the renewable energy and using solar panels (电池板) on their rooftops. According to an online solar marketplace Energy Sage, schools have their strong points to use solar energy. They often have the kind of enough space, suitable locations that are perfect for setting up solar panels.
In September 2020, a nonprofit Generation 180 released its third edition of a study on solar use in US schools. The findings showed that more than 7,300, or 55 percent, of K-12 public and private schools used solar energy, the number has increased by 81 percent since 2014.
They also described how solar schools were saving millions in energy bills, and provided several cases to show the increased savings achieved by solar-powered school districts. For example, an Arkansas school used its every year’s energy savings of nearly $ 100,000 to increase its teachers’ salaries.
The Interstate Renewable Energy Council, which tracks the number of K-12 schools with solar equipment and helps schools go solar, says on its website that schools with solar setups have an opportunity to educate students about clean energy, and show them that they are doing something for students’ and the planet’s health and future.
Third-party ownership also makes funding for 79 percent of schools to use solar energy possible, meaning a majority of schools don’t have to spend large amounts of money but can get the rewards of solar energy.
12. How does the author lead in the topic of the text in the first paragraph
A. By giving an example. B. By raising a problem.
C. By offering an evidence. D. By making a comparison.
13. What is the advantage of using solar energy for the schools in the US
A. Enough space to fix solar equipment.
B. Fund support from solar marketplace.
C. Free access to using solar energy.
D. Being the largest consumers of the energy.
14. What effect does using solar energy have on the schools
A. Increasing their operating expense.
B. Threatening their teachers’ income.
C. Raising the students’ environmental awareness.
D. Reducing their total amount of energy consuming.
15. Which word can best describe the schools’ using solar energy
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Cautious. D. Worrying.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。美国的基础教育学校的能源消耗量越来越大,这导致学校的运营成本越来越高。学校正寻求使用太阳能来解决这个问题。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Schools in US are huge consumers (消费者) of energy. According to ENERGY STAR, K-12 schools spend more than $6 billion every year on energy, far more than the amount spent on other resources, and at least 30 percent of this energy is used inefficiently or needlessly.(美国的学校是能源的巨大消费者。根据能源之星数据显示,美国的基础教育学校每年在能源上的指出超过60亿美元,远远超过其他资源的指出,其中至少30%的能源使用不当或者不必要。)”可知,美国的基础教育学校每年在能源上的花费巨大,浪费也很严重。文章接下来就谈到了使用太阳能来解决这个问题。故文章是以提出能源消耗巨大这一问题的方式引出文章主题的。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“According to an online solar marketplace Energy Sage, schools have their strong points to use solar energy. They often have the kind of enough space, suitable locations that are perfect for setting up solar panels.(根据在线太阳能市场的Energy Sage,学校使用太阳能有着很大的优势。他们通常有足够的空间,合适的位置,非常适合安装太阳能电池板。)”可知,学校往往有足够的空间和合适的位置来安装太阳能电池板,故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第六段“schools with solar setups have an opportunity to educate students about clean energy, and show them that they are doing something for students’ and the planet’s health and future.(拥有太阳能装置的学校有机会教育学生清洁能源,并向他们展示他们正在为学生、地球的健康和未来做一些事情。)”可知,配备了太阳能的学校可以利用这个机会来让学生了解清洁能源的知识,这有利于提高学生的环保意识。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Third-party ownership also makes funding for 79 percent of schools to use solar energy possible, meaning a majority of schools don’t have to spend large amounts of money but can get the rewards of solar energy.(第三方所有权也为79%的学校提供了使用太阳能的资金,这意味着大多数学校不必花费大量资金,就可以从太阳能中获益)”可知,第三方所有权也为79%的学校提供了使用太阳能的资金,这意味着大多数学校不必花费大量资金,就可以从太阳能中获益。因此推知,它对学校使用太阳能的态度是支持的。故选A。

A
While established by Woodrow Wilson as a holiday in the United States in 1911, the practice of recognizing mothers on a specific day or time of year has spread to more than 40 countries. Here's a look at the various traditions.
France
Mother's Day in France only started in the 1950s. After World War I, it was celebrated on the last Sunday in May, unless it conflicted with the Pentecost(五旬节). If it did, mothers were celebrated on the first Sunday of June. Regardless of the day, a traditional gif is a flower-shaped cake.
Japan
Following WWI, Mother's Day in Japan gained some popularity, and it is now celebrated on the second Sunday of May. Gifts include red or pink conations(康乃馨) as they symbolize sweetness and purity. Children will often draw pictures of their mothers and present them to mom in addition to preparing dishes that their mothers have taught them.
Sweden
Celebrated on the last Sunday in May, the day isn't all that different from the U. S. version. There's breakfast in bed and homemade cards and the like. One difference is that the Swedish Red Cross collects money by selling red plastic flowers. The money from the flowers goes to mothers and children in need.
Thailand
While all mothers are recognized during Mother's Day in Thailand, the holiday is largely centered on Sirikit, the queen mother of Thailand. Mother's Day is celebrated on her birthday, August 12, and public places and households are decorated with lights and pictures of Sirikit. Flowers like jasmine are popular gifts.
1. What do Japanese children usually do for their mothers on Mother's Day
A. Buy pictures. B. Cook meals. C. Grow flowers. D. Present cards.
2. Which country has a fixed date for Mother's Day
A. France. B. Japan. C. Thailand. D. Sweden.
3. What's the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To tell us how different countries celebrate Mother's Day.
B. To protect traditions of Mother's Day in different places.
C. To introduce the origin and development of Mother's Day.
D. To call on us to show respect for our mother on Mother's Day.
B
I had heard about VR (虚拟现实) being used in the classroom but didn’t think I’d ever try it. I actually got a VR headset (耳机) as a New Year present from my friend and started searching for apps online to see whether it could be useful in my classroom. I soon found a free app through Google Cardboard and knew I had a lesson!
To use VR in the classroom, you need two things: a smartphone that can download the app or video, and a headset. To find the actual videos we’d be watching, I searched through free VR apps like Orbulus, Trench Experience VR and Cardboard. I also found hundreds of videos on YouTube. The key is to find videos made with the 360 cameras. While they don’t give the kids a 3-D experience like the apps, they are still amazingly immersive (沉浸式虚拟现实的) when viewed through the headsets.
So far we’ve had three lessons. I first used the headsets with my seventh grade U. S. History class. The Trench app allows students to “walk” through a trench (战壕) during World War Ⅰ and learn about many of the tools used during that time. My second activity was working with the sixth grade Geography class. They used the headsets strictly as viewers to watch a 360 video taking them through a rocky landscape. My final activity was the most interesting one, according to the reactions (反应) of my eighth grade Civics students. I was able to find a White House 360 tour that was made a few years ago.
For the rest of this year, I plan to continue using apps and 360 videos in my classes. Next year I’m going to write to my boss asking for a 360 video camera so that I can begin to create my own VR field trips for the students.
4. When did the author get the idea of trying VR in her classroom
A. When she was searching for apps online.
B. After she received a VR headset as a gift.
C. When she was having a conversation with her friend.
D. After she heard about VR being used in the classroom.
5. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. The kids. B. The apps.
C. The videos. D. The headsets.
6. Which statement of the three VR lessons is true
A. Reactions of students in the Civics lesson are best.
B. Walking through a trench during World War Ⅰ scared the students.
C. Students experienced a rocky landscape in the U. S. history class.
D. A White House 360 tour made a few years ago was not suitable for watch.
7. What will the author do next year
A. Buy a 360 video camera.
B. Create 360 videos by herself.
C. Take her students on more field trips.
D. Try new teaching methods in her classes.
C
Sometimes it takes a crisis (危机) to bring friends together. When Hurricane (飓风) Maria went through the island of Cayo Santiago in 2017, the monkeys living there became kinder toward each other, according to a study published in the journal Current Biology.
The findings show the monkeys made more friends and became more patient to one another. Although the hurricane destroyed two-thirds of the plants on the “Monkey Island”, the increased competition for resources caused the monkeys to become more amicable, which helped them widen their friendship circles.
“We expected the monkeys would use their closest partners to deal with the destruction of the hurricane and so would strengthen their existing relationships,” said lead author Testard.
But that was not what happened. Instead, the monkeys built new relationships, rather than strengthening their old ones, which surprised the researchers. Monkeys that were the most lonely before the storm increased social connections the most afterward. The study showed that monkeys often befriended the friends of their friends. This “easy” way to making friends is often mirrored in human society.
The findings could also indicate how people might deal with the increasing threat of climate change. The monkeys are close evolutionary relatives to humans and share many features of their biology and behavior with human beings. The climate crisis has increased the likelihood of extreme weather events and natural disasters. Humans can learn a thing or two from studying how the monkeys cope with the unpleasant effects of climate change.
The main takeaway the study offers humans: go beyond your close-knit circle of friends and form a broader social network to survive tough times. “Our best friends can give us many things. But sometimes, what we need is a social network where everyone is just friendly enough,” Testard says.
8. What does the underlined word “amicable” probably mean
A. Attacking. B. Frightening. C. Friendly. D. Energetic.
9. What shocked researchers about the monkeys in crisis
A. They shared the limited resources. B. They took advantage of old bonds.
C. They established new relationships. D. Isolated monkeys were most popular.
10. What does the last paragraph focus on about the study
A. Its process. B. Its result. C. Its purpose. D. Its significance.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Ups and Downs of the Monkey Island
B. Connection between Humans and Monkeys
C. A Crisis Leads to New Monkey Friendships
D. Learn from Monkeys for Broader Social Network
D
Schools in US are huge consumers (消费者) of energy. According to ENERGY STAR, K-12 schools spend more than $ 6 billion every year on energy, far more than the amount spent on other resources, and at least 30 percent of this energy is used inefficiently or needlessly.
Realizing that, some schools are looking for measures to save energy in several ways, from low-cost adjustments, such as turning off lights in unused rooms, to large-scale projects, such as turning to green equipment.
As solar energy (太阳能) is becoming a more financial choice for powering buildings, more schools are making the move toward the renewable energy and using solar panels (电池板) on their rooftops. According to an online solar marketplace Energy Sage, schools have their strong points to use solar energy. They often have the kind of enough space, suitable locations that are perfect for setting up solar panels.
In September 2020, a nonprofit Generation 180 released its third edition of a study on solar use in US schools. The findings showed that more than 7,300, or 55 percent, of K-12 public and private schools used solar energy, the number has increased by 81 percent since 2014.
They also described how solar schools were saving millions in energy bills, and provided several cases to show the increased savings achieved by solar-powered school districts. For example, an Arkansas school used its every year’s energy savings of nearly $ 100,000 to increase its teachers’ salaries.
The Interstate Renewable Energy Council, which tracks the number of K-12 schools with solar equipment and helps schools go solar, says on its website that schools with solar setups have an opportunity to educate students about clean energy, and show them that they are doing something for students’ and the planet’s health and future.
Third-party ownership also makes funding for 79 percent of schools to use solar energy possible, meaning a majority of schools don’t have to spend large amounts of money but can get the rewards of solar energy.
12. How does the author lead in the topic of the text in the first paragraph
A. By giving an example. B. By raising a problem.
C. By offering an evidence. D. By making a comparison.
13. What is the advantage of using solar energy for the schools in the US
A. Enough space to fix solar equipment.
B. Fund support from solar marketplace.
C. Free access to using solar energy.
D. Being the largest consumers of the energy.
14. What effect does using solar energy have on the schools
A. Increasing their operating expense.
B. Threatening their teachers’ income.
C. Raising the students’ environmental awareness.
D. Reducing their total amount of energy consuming.
