The first day of the month of May is known as May Day. It is the time of year when warmer weather begins. People celebrate the coming of summer with customs that are expressions of joy and hope after a long winter. Today, May Day activities have been moved to the May Day holiday on the first Monday of the month. It is a public holiday when
families take advantage of the time off to visit some of the UK’s many attractions, including parks, zoos, historic buildings, ancient towns and villages and beautiful countryside.
May Day celebrations have their origins in the Roman festival of Flora, the goddess of fruit and flowers, which marked the beginning of summer. People would decorate their houses and villages with leaves and flowers they picked at daybreak in the belief that the vegetation spirits would bring good luck. In the very early morning, young girls went into the fields and washed their faces with dew (露水). They believed this made them very beautiful for the following year.
May Day was an important day in the Middle Ages and was a favorite holiday of many English villages. People of the time used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer. This is the origin of the maypole (五月柱). People danced around them in celebration of the end of winter. Maypoles were once common all over England and were kept from one year to the next. The tallest maypole is said to have been put up in London on the Strand in 1661. It stood more than 143 feet high and was cut down in 1717, when it was used by Newton to support a new reflecting telescope (反射式望远镜) invented by Dutch scientist Huygens.
24.How do British people celebrate May Day?
A. They visit friends and family members
B. They celebrate it on the first Monday of May
C. They spend a lot of time shopping around
D. They show great love for the long winter
25.The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.
A. washing the face with dew
B. going into the fields
C. picking flowers at daybreak
D. getting up early in the morning
26.What can we learn about the maypole?
A. People climb it on May Day
B. It was usually found in the cities
C. It dates from the Middle Ages
D. People used old, tall trees to make it. 27.The purpose of the text is to _____.
A. describe Roman customs
B. suggest spring family activities
C. explain the origins of maypoles
D. introduce a festival--May Day
C
Modern science proves that a healthy lifestyle matters much to how long you can live and how well you live. Here are some tips for you to form a healthy lifestyle.
Keep a scientific diet. Keep in mind that sugar can be removed(去除) from our diet completely. Over intake(摄入量) of sugar is one of the main reasons for getting fat. Over intake of protein(蛋白质) or fat and low intake of fiber can also lead to getting fat. We only need a few grams of protein to keep our body in order.
Be always in a good mood. There is a relationship between the mood and health. A good mood keeps you in high spirits. Thanks to the Internet, we can enjoy and learn much without going out. Take a look at some online shops and pick up some bargains, enjoy music and movies and chat with good friends. Just keep happy.
Enough sleep. Two studies show the reasons why teens and adults don't have enough sleep. With teens, a major reason is mobile phone use; with adults, it's work. Meanwhile, a third study of young children shows that lack of sleep in early life may lead to serious problems in future. Everyone needs at least 8-hour sleep to recover(恢复) from tiredness and the hurt caused by hard work in the daytime.
Proper exercise. Do exercise to keep away from fatness. Because of the quick pace of the modem life, you don't have time to do exercise every day, but at least three times a week and 45 minutes each time.
28. What is the writer's purpose in writing the passage?

Researchers from France and Italy discovered that Canadian parents are less strict with their children than mothers and fathers in France and Italy.
“Our most important finding was the difference between Canadians and the others,” said Professor Michel Claes, the lead author of the study. “Canadians focus on independence and negotiation(协商）. On the other hand, Italians, for example, exercise more control. We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict（冲突）.”
Claes said Canada, France and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors. “We chose French­Canadians because they share the same language as France, and originally came from France and share certain values. Italy was included because it was considered to have similar, strong and important family values,” he explained.
The researchers examined the emotional（情感的) ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 to 19 years old.
Canadian students reported less control and more free actions, according to the study. Italian parents were stricter and French parents were somewhere in the middle.
Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada, France and Italy.
“North America has its own educational values, which promote individualization. Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged. Italy, on the other hand, promotes respect of authority, control, and the need for permission.” he said.
Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative. Italian and Canadian children had similar feelings about their fathers, and reported high levels of emotional ties. But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold.
“We were surprised by this,” Claes admitted.“It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and their children were becoming closer over time, while fathers keep a form of distance and coldness, which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries.”
32.Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada, France and Italy ________.
A.have the same family spirit
B.have some similar cultural traditions
C.have experienced some similar social changes
D.have experienced similar cultural developments
33.How did the researchers carry out the study?
A.By collecting answers of parents from Canada, France and Italy
B.By collecting answers of children from Canada, France and Italy
C.By questioning parents and their children from Italian Canadian families
D.By questioning children from French-Canadian families
34.According to Michel Claes, what mainly leads to the differences in parent-children relationships among Canada, France and Italy?
cational values
B.Traditional ideas
C.Cultural values
D.Historical events
35.Which of the following is NOT a finding of the study?
A.French children have troubled relationships with their fathers.
B.Canadian children have close relationships with their parents
C.Italian children have good relationships with their fathers.
D.Kids from Canada, France and Italy have closer ties with their moms
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
36 . Many people lack sleep all the time, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone 37 .
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness 38 . Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately 39 . Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
40 . Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A. To fight family laziness, set an example.
B. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
C. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
E. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.
F. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
G. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.

Dear Jenny,
I am really sorry to hear that you feel bad after entering the high school. I’d like to talk about it with you.
In fact, in your senior high school, your classmates are also new and facing the same problem, so you don’t have to worry too much about it. There is also something that you can do to change this situation. First, try to invite some of your classmates to take part in some activities together after school. This will help you understand each other better than communicating with others. Then, help your classmates when they are in trouble and ask them to help you when you have difficulty.
I believe you will make many new friends and you will have a happy school life there. Best wishes

古希腊哲学大师亚里士多德说：人有两种，一种即“吃饭是为了活着”,一种是“活着是为了吃饭”.一个人之所以伟大，首先是因为他有超于常人的心。

“志当存高远”,“风物长宜放眼量”,这些古语皆鼓舞人们要树立雄心壮志，要有远大的理想。

有一位心理学家到一个建筑工地，分别问三个正在砌砖的工人：“你在干什么？”
第一个工人懒洋洋地说：“我在砌砖。

” 第二个工人缺乏热情地说：“我在砌一堵墙。

” 第三个工人满怀憧憬地说：“我在建一座高楼！”
听完回答，心理学家判定：第一个人心中只有砖，他一辈子能把砖砌好就不错了；第二个人眼中只有墙，好好干或许能当一位技术员；而第三个人心中已经立起了一座殿堂，因为他心态乐观，胸怀远大的志向！
井底之蛙，只能看到巴掌大的天空；摸到大象腿的盲人，只能认为大象长得像柱子；登上五岳的人，才能感觉“一览众山小”;看到大海的人，就会顿感心胸开阔舒畅；
心中没有希望的人，是世界上最贫穷的人；心中没有梦想的人，是普天下最平庸的人；目光短浅的人，是最没有希望的人。

清代“红顶商人”胡雪岩说：“做生意顶要紧的是眼光，看得到一省，就能做一省的生意；看得到天下，就能做天下的生意；看得到外国，就能做外国的生意。

”可见，一个人的心胸和眼光，决定了他志向的短浅或高远；一个人的希望和梦想，决定了他的人生暗淡或辉煌。
