二、阅读理解
Consider yourself warned. Sunday is April Fools' Day, a day when you are encouraged to play tricks on loved ones and even the people you meet at the bus
stop. It's a strange tradition, but how did it get started? Nobody is completely sure about the origin of this, the silliest of holidays. However, the urban legend experts at Snopes. com say that most experts owe it to Pope Gregory X Ⅲ , who, in the 1500s, gave the world the Gregorian calendar. In 1562, the Gregorian calendar moved the first day of the year from April l
to January l. Word did eventually get around, but some people were a bit slow
to hear the news. These folks continued celebrating the new year on April that they were now three months behind the times. These "April fools"
l ,
were
unaware
tricked
by those who knew it. The tradition eventually made its way to the US.
And it's still going strong. Over the past week, Web searches on " April Fools' Day
jokes" and " April Fools' Day tricks" have more than doubled, and related
lookups for "easy April Fools' Day tricks" and "April Fools' Day jokes for work"
have also increased greatly. Bottom line: Keep your guard up, especially if
somebody offers you a word search puzzle. Lookups for "impossible April Fools'
Day word searches" are up by 200%.
But really, there is no way to be certain you'll escape trickery because even
companies are out to trick you on April l. In 1957, the BBC reported Swiss farmers were harvesting spaghetti(意大利面) from trees. And in 1996, Taco Bell took

Bell and renamed it the Taco Liberty Bell.

C. those tricks used on April 1 are much the same
D. people like to celebrate April Fools' Day online

While the other kids seemed excited about celebrating the end-of-term party
by playing games and sharing treats, Jeremy hated the very idea of the gathering.
Afraid to raise the pressure too high, I decided to contribute something
was easy to purchase on the walk to school.
Off we went the day of the party, approaching his school as if nothing was
planned. I reminded him of our need to make a purchase, entered his favorite and asked him to select the ripest bunch of grapes. He shot me an anxious look
and insisted none of his classmates ever be able to notice he had something to
bring to the party. My vision of a successful parenting method, resulting in
that shop,
delivering a sociable child to his school, diverted（转移）sharply from reality.
Back on route, I did my best to hide the sinking feeling of fear. How could
I possibly drop him off and then walk into my own classroom to teach a successful
class?
My next move was born in the heat of the moment. I said a quick goodbye at
the front gate and rushed to his classroom through the emergency exit. I managed
to inform his teacher about the grapes in the backpack and be out of the classroom
before I could be spied by my son.
So, what happened on that June day? His teacher, a caring educator, worked
wonders. My son and I still laugh about the way Mr. B started the day with an unusual
question, “ Does anyone have any grapes? ” While Jeremy admits feeling a bit uncomfortable, the words encouraged him to takeout the fruit. Because of the support he received, he remembers that day with pride for his courage.
25． Which of the following can best replace the underlined word

There are a lot public holidays for Chinese people, such as National Day, May
Day, and Children’ s Day. But I think we should have other holiday——Farmers’Day. Firstly,China is a agricultural country.Farmers really play a very importantly role in China. They provide food for us, without which we cannot to
live. Secondly, farmers offered a lot to the development of industry. Lastly of
all, most farmers work hard, with little time to enjoy themselves. Some people
look down upon farmers so they think farmers do not have many knowledge. I suggest
that there should be a Farmers ’Day to show respect for these 900 millions farmers
in China.

Dear editor, Recently some scholars think that“ the rush of English learning” has influenced
the learning of Chinese. As far as this topic is concerned, different people have
different opinions. I’ d like to share mine with you.
It’ s known to all that English is the most widely-used language in the world.
Learning English can help us to communicate with people from foreign countries.
We can also get a lot of information through English , helping us to know more
about the outside world.
But Chinese is our mother tongue . In China, we can’ t go without it.We need
to use it to communicate and do a lot of things. So we must, first of all, learn
Chinese well.
Yours sincerely
Li Hua。
