Paragraph 2 Examples of funny stories that happened on
April Fool's Day
Paragraph 3 An introduction to April Fool's Day
Paragraph 4 A sad story that happened on April Fool's DayApril Fool's Day is a celebration that takes place? in different countries around the world.It happens on April 1st every year and is a day when many people play all kinds of tricks and jokes on each other.USING BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE
Carefully reading the first sentence in each paragraph can activate your own knowledge of the topic and help you guess what the whole text is about.One April Fool's Day，a reporter in England announced that there would be no more spaghetti because the spaghetti farmers in Italy had stopped growing spaghetti.Many people ran to their local supermarkets to buy as much spaghetti as they could.By the time people realized that the story was a hoax，all of the spaghetti across the country had been sold out?.In another famous trick a TV show in England reported the discovery of special water.They said this water would help people lose weight and that one customer had already lost a lot of weight in just four months.By the end of the day，more than 10，000 people had phoned the TV station to find out how to get this water.
Many April Fool's jokes may end up being not very funny.A famous TV star once invited his girlfriend onto his show on April Fool's Day.He asked her to marry? him.The lady was so happy because she really wanted to get married.
However，when she said yes，he replied，“April Fool！” That little joke didn't have a very happy ending.The TV star lost his girlfriend and his show was canceled?.One of the world's most famous tricks，however，happened in October rather than in April.In that month in 1938，actor Orson Welles announced on his radio program that aliens from Mars had landed on the earth.He described where they had landed and told how they were
moving across the United States.
Welles made it sound so real that
hundreds of people believed the
story，and fear spread across the
whole country.By the time police officers announced that the story was a hoax，thousands of people had left their homes. take place 发生，进行知识点3eg： The meeting will take place next Friday.
会议将在下周五举行。考向take place与happen 的辨析典例The Olympic Games of 2016 will ________ in Brazil. (山东临沂)
A．take after B．take off
C．take place D．take away【解析】本题用辨析法解题。take after像；take off 脱下，起飞；take place发生；take away带走。根据句意“2016年奥运会将在巴西举行。”可知C项符合语境。 C sell out 卖光sell的过去式为sold，过去分词为sold。
eg：When she went to the shop to buy some
apples，they had been sold out.
当她到商店去买一些苹果时，它们已经被卖光了。知识点4考向 marry/'m?ri/ v. 结婚考向marry既可用作及物动词，也可用作不及物动词，意为“结婚；嫁；娶；与……结婚”等。常见用法如下：
①marry sb.与某人结婚
eg：John married Mary last week.
上星期约翰和玛丽结婚了。知识点5②get married “结婚”，get married to sb.意为“与某人结婚”。表示动作，后面不能与表示一段时间的状语连用。在表示“和某人结婚”这一状态时，常用be married to sb.结构，可以和表示一段时间的状语连用。
eg：Jane got married to a doctor last month.
上个月简和一位医生结婚了。
They have been married for 10 years.
他们已经结婚10年了。典例She ________ for ten years and now she has a lovely daughter. (白银)
A．married B．has been married
C．got married D．has got married【解析】本题用时间状语判别法解题。由for ten years可知答案为B。B marry表示“结婚”时，一般不与介词
with连用。
eg：She married with an Englishman.(误)
She married an Englishman.(正)
她嫁给了一个英国人。
She was/got married to an Englishman.(正)
她和一位英国人结婚了易错提示 ...his show was canceled.
……他的节目被取消了。知识点6考向一cancel/'k?nsl/v.取消；终止
其过去式为cancel(l)ed；过去分词为cancel(l)ed。
eg：The match was canceled because of the bad
weather.
因为天气不好，比赛被取消了。典例Too many people were absent. The chairperson warned that he ________the meeting if necessary. (无锡)
A．would cancel B．cancelled
C．would start D．started【解析】由关键词absent可知应排除C和D，再由if及warned可知应用过去将来时，故选A。A考向二本句是一般过去时的被动语态。其构成为“was/were＋动词的过去分词”。
eg：The school was built last year.
这所学校是去年建造的。典例These model cars ________ in China in 2013.(北京)
A．are made B．were made
C．make D．made【解析】由in 2013可知应排除A和C，再由主语These model cars可知应用被动语态，所以排除D，故选B。B2cRead the passage again and answer the questions.1．Why did the supermarkets run out of spaghetti one April
Fool's Day?
2．What did the TV show say the special water could do?
3．Why did the TV star's joke have a bad ending?

五、阅读理解(词数：约240；建议用时：5分钟)
April Fool's Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others in hopes of getting a good laugh and making one feel like a fool. However, the April Fool's Day of 2016 was quite different for my mom and me.
That day my friend Jimmy and I were playing a game. I had dropped down from a bar(横木)many times in the past without ever having a problem, but that day the simple act of dropping to the ground became a nightmare (噩梦). I broke my arm.
Jimmy's dad heard my crying and rushed out to see what was going on. When he saw the problem, he quickly put me into his truck and went inside to telephone my mom and let her know he would take me to the hospital. As that day was April Fool's Day, Mom was not buying it and really thought all this was a big joke. Mom was finally convinced by Jimmy's mom. When she saw me, she broke down in tears because she felt so bad—she simply believed this was just a big trick.
I guess one could compare this to the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Since I had played bad tricks before, it was no wonder that my mom didn't believe it. I as well as my mom was made to look like a fool that day. We both learned a valuable lesson.
26．What happened to the writer on the April Fool's Day of 2016?
A．He dreamed a terrible dream.
B．He was hurt by Jimmy.
C．He had an accident.
D．He fooled his mom with his friend.
27．Why did Jimmy's dad phone the writer's mom?
A．Because he wanted to play a joke on her.
B．Because he wanted her to go to the hospital to
pay the money.
C．Because he wanted to see how deeply she loved her son.
D．Because he wanted to inform her of the accident.
28．What does the underlined sentence “Mom was not buying it”
mean?
A．She didn't believe what Jimmy's dad said.
B．She would not like to pay the money.
C．She had no preparation for the bad news.
D．She thought her son deserved(应受) it.
29．Why did the writer mention the story of “The Boy Who
Cried Wolf”？
A．Because he thought it was his mom's fault.
B．Because he had a lesson like that.
C．Because he was proud of his story.
D．Because he felt he was luckier than that boy.
30．From the passage we can infer that ________.
A．the writer's mom didn't care much about him
B．the writer was a dishonest person
C．the writer won't pull pranks as before
D．the writer will lose interest in games
答案
一、1.C
2．C 解析：固定搭配法。hundred 的用法：①数字＋hundred; ②hundreds of。
3．D 解析：play jokes on sb.意为“开某人的玩笑”。
4．A 解析：固定短语法。take place是固定短语，意为“(有计划地)发生”；next month提示用一般将来时。
5．D
6．B 解析：invite sb. to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“邀请某人做某事”。
7．C 解析：固定结构法。one of＋the＋形容词最高级＋名词复数是固定结构，意为“最……的……之一”；第二个空表达“它比任何别的城市都大”， 用any other“任何其他的”。
8．C 9.B 10.C
二、11. disappears 12. possible
13. embarrassing 14. officer 15. run
三、16. married 17. believable
18. ladies 19. discoveries 20. sold
四、21. was canceled 22. hoaxes
23. announced 24. married 25. could
五、 26.C 解析：信息关联法。由第二段最后一句I broke my arm可知。
27．D 解析：由第三段…let her know he would take me to the hospital…可知。
28．A 解析：由第三段Mom was not buying it and really thought all this was a big joke.可知。
29．B 解析：由文章最后一句We both learned a valuable lesson.可知。
30．C 解析：总结推理法。从Since I had played bad tricks before, it was no wonder that my mom didn't believe it.及全文来看，作者以后不会再像从前那样搞恶作剧了。
