Ⅱ.阅读理解
For the eager prankster(爱开玩笑的人)，nothing beats April Fools' Day，a light hearted tradition that's several hundred years old.A lot of people think April Fools' Day is just obnoxious，and just wish it would stop.But people who love pranks really love the day and refuse to give up the tradition.
The origins of April Fools' Day are still unclear.The most popular one is that France changed its calendar in the 1500s so that the New Year would begin in January to match the Roman calendar instead of the start of spring in late March or early April.However word of the change traveled slowly，and many people in country areas continued to celebrate the New Year in the spring.These country people became known as“April fools.”
But according to Alex Boese，the French story is completely wrong，because the day that the French celebrated the beginning of the year legally was Easter day，so it never really was connected with April first.Boese believes instead that April Fools' Day simply grew out of age old European spring festivals of renewal(更新)，in which pranks are common.
Joseph Boskin，professor of American humor at Boston University，has offered his own interpretation(解释)of the holiday's roots.In 1983，Boskin told a reporter that the idea came from Roman pranksters during the time of Constantine Ⅰ in the third and fourth centuries A．D.As the story goes，pranksters successfully asked the ruler to allow one of their objected members to be king for a day.So，on April first，Constantine handed over the reins(统治)of the Roman Empire for one day to King Kugel，his prankster.Kugel decided that the day forever would be a day of absurdity(荒唐)．
Kugel，accidently，is an Eastern European dish that one of Boskin's friends had been expecting.
本文是篇说明文。主要是介绍了几个关于愚人节由来的传说。
1.The underlined word“obnoxious”in Paragraph 1 means________.
A.exciting B．disappointing
C．boring D．instructive
答案：C 解析：词义猜测题。下半句提到just wish it would stop，既然希望它被取消，那么这些人应该是不喜欢它了。故答案选C。
2.According to the French story，April Fools' Day________.
A.is the result of the change of the calendar
B．was widely accepted all over the world
C．has a history of about half a century
D．has been celebrated in Roman since the 1500s
答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段，来源于法国的这个关于愚人节的传说，尽管是广为人们所接受，但是故事本身是无从看到的，所以选项B不对；当时发生的时间是在16世纪，因此，到现在最起码有四个多世纪了，即400多年，所以选项C不对；当时是在法国发生的，是由于日历变更通知不及时而造成的，因此，选项D不对，而正确选项为A。
3.According to Joseph Boskin，April Fools' Day________.
A．can date back to 1,900 years ago
B．came from a reporter
C．had roots in the Romans
D．was decided by Constantine Ⅰ
答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第四段，按照Joseph Boskin的看法，愚人节发生在公元3到4世纪，是他告诉一记者说是来自于一罗马爱开玩笑的人，而最后是由King Kugel所决定的。故答案选C。
4.It can be inferred according to the text that________.
A．King Kugel was a real historical character
B．Joseph Boskin's story about April Fools' Day was a humor
C．the text referred to two origins of April Fools' Day
D．where April Fools' Day is from has been clear to us all
答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后两段，Joseph Boskin对愚人节的解释应该是一个幽默而已，一方面它没有历史证据，另一方面，里面的那个当了一天的国王与他和朋友们正等待的一道菜同名。另外，关于愚人节的由来始终还是个谜。故答案选B。
Ⅲ.语法填空
The Hawaiian islands include eight major islands，several circular reefs and numerous smaller islands.Of the eight major islands，Niihau and Kahoolawe are the 1.________(small)．These islands are quite unlike the 2.________—they do not have hotels or resorts for tourists.Both islands，for different reasons，3.________(have)no tourists at all for many years.Niihau is located just 17 miles 4.________the west coast of island Kauai.It is owned by one family，the Robinsons，5.________bought the island from King Kamehameha of Hawaii.The Robinsons do not allow any 6.________(invite)visitors on the island and so it is often called“the Forbidden Island”．Kahoolawe，the other“mystery island”does not have anyone 7.________(live)on it today.In the past 8.________(century)，Hawaiians lived here and used the place for religious ceremonies.Then，the United States Navy took over the place as 9.________practice ground for bombing and explosives.So regularly did the Navy bomb the place 10.________Hawaiians were not happy with the situation.They wanted to return to Kahoolawe.After many efforts，their wish came true，and the island won't be bombed any more.
答案：1.smallest 2.others 3.have had 4.off 5.who 6.uninvited 7.living 8.centuries 9.a 10.that
Ⅳ.书面表达

Dear Jack，
How is everything going？
In your last letter，you asked me what major I'd like to choose at university.I have two majors in mind.
First，I intend to choose agricultural science.Why？Because food is fundamental to our existence.However，food shortage is severe in many countries where many people are still going hungry and every second there are people starved to death.It is my hope that I can feed the world well through my research on organic farming.
Secondly，medicine is also one of my considerations，which，I think，is another worthy way to save lives.Can you give me some advice？I'm looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes. Yours，
Li Ming
