The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children.On the third Sunday in June，fathers all across the United States are given presents，treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.
However，the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane，Washington.A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909.Having been raised by her father，Henry Jackson Smart，after her mother died，Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her.
It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was，in the eyes of his daughter，a selfless and loving man.Sonora’s father was born in June，so she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spokane，Washington on the 19th of June,1910.
In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day.Roses are the Father’s Day flowers：red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.
When children can’t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner，they send a greeting card.Traditionally，fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental.Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they open them.Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needs Dad.
1．The United States is special in Father’s Day because________.
A．many people celebrate the day
B．only America celebrates the day
C．America makes it an official day

A．Sonora honored her father on her father’s birthday
B．Sonora’s birthday was June 19th

D．her mother died on June 19th
3．How many years has passed before Father’s Day became an official day since the Father’s Day was celebrated?

(2010年广东惠州一调)
In a moment of personal crisis，how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver？I began studying this question and answers are interesting.
One morning，I got into three different taxis and announced，“Well，it’s my first day back in New York in seven years.I’ve been in prison.” Not a single driver replied，so I tried again.“Yeah，I shot a man in Reno.” I explained，hoping the driver would ask me why，but nobody asked.The only response came from a Ghanaian driver，“Reno？That is in Nevada？”
Taxi drivers were uniform sympathetic when I said I’d just been fired.“This is America，” a Haitian driver said.“One door is closed.Another is open.” He argued against my plan to burn down my boss’s house.A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope；he refused to take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge — a$20 trip.“Why you want to go there？Go home and relax.Don’t worry.Take a new job.”
One very hot weekday in July，while wearing a red ski mask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the word “BANK” on it，I tried calling a taxi five times outside different banks.The driver picked me up every time.My ride with a Haitian driver was typical of the superb assistance I received.
“Let’s go across the park.” I said.“I just robbed the bank there.I got$25,000.”
“$25,000？” he asked.
“Yeah，you think it was wrong to take it？”
“No，man.I work 8 hours and I don’t make almost$70.If I can do that，I do it too.”
As we approached 86th and Lexington，I pointed to the Chemical Bank.
“Hey，there is another bank，” I said，“Could you wait here a minute while I go inside？”
“No，I can’t wait.Pay me now.” His unwillingness may have had something to do with money—taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low—but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support.
6. From the Ghanaian driver’s response，we can infer that________.
A．he was afraid of the author
B．he thought the author was crazy
C．he looked down upon the author
D．he was indifferent to the killing
7. Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to take the author to the middle of the George Washington Bridge?
A．Because he was able to help the author to find a new job.
B．Because he wanted to go home and relax.
C．Because he thought that the author would commit suicide.
D．Because it was far away from his home.
8. In the author’s opinion，the driver’s unwillingness to wait outside the Chemical Bank indicates________.
A．the driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally
B．the driver was frightened and wanted to leave him as soon as possible
C．the driver did not want to help a suspect to escape from a bank robbery
D．the driver thought that the rate for waiting time was too low
9. Which of the following statements is TRUE about New York taxi drivers?
A．They are ready to help you do whatever you want to.
B．They are sympathetic with those who are out of work.
C．They refuse to pick up those who would kill themselves.
D．They work only for money.
10. The passage mainly discusses________.
A．the way to please taxi riders
B．the way to deal with taxi riders
C．taxi drivers’attitude to riders in personal trouble
D．taxi drivers’attitude to troublesome taxi riders
答案：
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．D　句意为：他很担心，因为他丢了装有护照、身份证和许多钱的包。contain表示“装有”与bag构成逻辑上的主动关系，因此用containing，作后置定语修饰bag。
2．C　根据句意应填入“想出”这一意思的短语。put up举起，支起，think后加of/out表示“想出，想到”，come up with想到，turn up出现，故选C项。
3．D　根据句意和句子结构可知you为主语，与compare之间是主动关系，因此用现在分词作状语，compare作“比较”之意时为及物动词，可排除A、B两项。
4．D　句意为：探险家们被告知他们自己要准备好探险所需要的所有设备。equip...with用……装备……，associate...with...与……有联系，connect...with...将……与……连在一起，relate要与to搭配。
5．A　consist of意为“由……组成”，不用于被动语态，意思相当于be made up of。句意为“我们都知道成功由三个重要因素组成：天分、勤奋加上运气”。
6．B　首先根据句意the new curriculum与design之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用被动，可排除C、D两项，再根据时间状语by the end of last week，要用过去完成时。
7．D　第一空为“自然的美”泛指自然，应使用零冠词；第二空后impression为可数名词应使用冠词，构成固定搭配make an impression on sb.，指“给……(某人)留下印象”。
8．B　句意为：男孩脸上惊讶的表情表明他没料到这件事情。形容词来修饰look，说明的是这个男孩的一种情感态度，要用-ed形式的形容词，排除A、C项。“表明，暗示”这一动作和expect相比较，应是expect这一动作发生在前，所以要用过去完成时。
9．B　weather与permit构成独立主格结构在句中作状语。weather与permit之间具有逻辑上的主谓关系，用现在分词表主动。
10．C　句意为：昨天晚上克鲁克先生没有像往常一样按时回来，相反，他见了几个朋友，并在外面一直待到深夜。meanwhile同时；however然而；instead—in place of something or someone代替，而不是，相反；yet仍然。根据句意，只有instead符合句意。
11．C　increase/rise/fall等表示增减的程度用介词by，表示增减到最终的数用介词to。另外the number of...作主语，谓语动词用单数形式。
12．D　have no choice but to do sth.除了做……别无选择；live by doing sth.靠……谋生。
13．B　根据谓语动词is fond of可知，as...as many of her classmates短语为插入成分。
14．C　由句意知是“和……交流”。
15．A　由说话者双方的语气和谈话内容可知，问话者是想早点离开，have one’s permission to do sth.意为“得到某人的允许做某事”。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】　文章介绍了父亲节成为美国法定节日的过程。
1．C　文章第一段告诉我们，美国是世界上少有的几个将父亲节定为法定节日的国家。
2．A　由第三段内容可知为了表达对父亲的爱Sonora把父亲的生日作为第一个父亲节的日期。
3．C　第三段告诉我们，Sonora在1910年第一次庆祝父亲节；第四段告诉我们，1924年Calvin Coolidge总统宣布父亲节为法定节日，历时14年。
4．D　由最后一段可知，父亲节的庆祝方式多种多样。
5．B　由文章第二、三段可知答案。
【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了作者对纽约的出租车司机对乘客的个人麻烦所持的态度的调查——作者谎称自己有各种麻烦，然后观察出租车司机的反应。
6．D　推理判断题。由第二段内容可知，当作者说自己杀了人时，没有人表示出惊讶或其他类似惊讶的反应，只有一个司机答话了，而他也只是问具体地点，因此D项正确，即他对此很冷漠。
7. C　推理推断题。由第三段可知，当作者告诉司机自己失业，因此感到对生活失去了希望时，他们极力地劝说他不要失去信心。而当作者提出要到华盛顿大桥中央的时候，一位司机拒绝载他，当然是害怕他会自杀。
8．A　细节理解题。由文章最后一句话中的“but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support”可知答案。
9. B　由第三段第一句话以及该段提到的两位司机说的话可知，纽约的司机对失业的人是有同情心的。
10. C　通读全文，尤其是根据第一段可知，本文主要介绍出租车司机对乘客的个人麻烦所持的态度。
