These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care to their children. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside their homes. More fathers must help with childcare. These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day people send carnations (康乃馨). A red one symbolises (象征) a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honour their parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues (烤肉) for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories. Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is "the thought that counts". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays. ( )1. Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for their parents? A. Their parents bring them up. B. Their parents give love and care to them. C. Their parents educate them to be good persons. D. Their parents passed away before they grew up. ( )2. What do you learn from the passage? A. Mother's Day and Father's Day are both in May. B. Fewer women worked outside their homes in the past. C. Not all the children respect their parents. D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home. ( )3. Which do you think is RIGHT about "carnation"? A. It only has two kinds of colour. B. It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother's Day or Father's Day. C. It's a kind of flower showing love and best wishes. D. People can send carnations only on the second Sunday in May. B Full of beauty, happiness and a healthy love of life, the Bulgarian(保加利亚的)festivals and customs date back to the old time when man tried to live in peace with nature. The merriest and richest festivals are Christmas and the New Year, when the so-called "sourvakari" makes the round of house with wishes for health and wealth. Other main festivals include "ladouvane' a holiday for young girls on New Year's Day or Mid-summer Day (June 24), Shrovetide and Mummers' Games which mark the start of spring, and "lazrouvane" - a traditional festival for love and family, health and richness. And among them, the widely popular and typical Bulgarian customs and festivals are "martenitsas" and rose-picking. Every year on March 1, the Bulgarians give each other "martenitsas"- a small doll made of white and red strings, a symbol of the beginning of spring, health and happiness. In late May and early June every year, the rose-picking season starts in the Valley of Roses which is between the Balkan range and the Sredna Gora mountains. Rose-picking starts at dawn, before sunrise and before the pleasant smell of the rose has disappeared. The Bulgarian rose produces 70 percent of the world's rose oil which is used by the very well-known perfume(香水)company as a basic element of its products. This is the time of the Festival of Roses, celebrated with carnivals, happy activities, folk songs and dances in Karlovo and Kazanlak on the first Sunday in June. ( )4. The passage is mainly about .

This passage is most likely to appear in a . A. magazine of travel B. book on world culture C. history book D. daily newspaper C Music fills the air. Colourful lights shine brightly through windows. Children and adults open gifts from loved ones and friends. These are all Christmas traditions. Another tradition is snow. In many places, a blanket of clean white snow covers the ground on Christmas Day. This is what is meant by a "White Christmas" Of course, many places do not get snow at Christmas. In fact, it may be very warm at this time of year. People who like snow but live in a warm place can only dream of having a white Christmas. American songwriter Irving Berlin captured these feelings inhis song White Christmas. It is one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time. The opening words explain why the singer is dreaming of a white Christmas. Most people never hear these words so they never really understand the true meaning of the song. Here's how it starts: The sun is shining, the grass is green. The orange and palm trees sway. I've never seen such a day in Beverly Hills, L.A. But it's December the twenty-fourth. And I'm longing to be up north. Up north, where it is cold and snowy. Not south, where it is warm and sunny. Over the years, hundreds of singers and musicians have recorded White Christmas. But the version most people still know best was sung by Bing Crosby. Songwriter Irving Berlin was born in Russia in 1888. He did not celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday. He was Jewish. But his song celebrates an idea of peace and happiness that anywhere--snowy or not--can enjoy. ( )7. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the tradition of Christmas? A.

Christmas is full of warmth and sunshine B. the weather on Christmas Day is very cold C. the people on Christmas Day are dressed in white D. the ground on Christmas Day is covered with white snow ( )9. Which words can be used to describe the idea of the song written by Irving Berlin? A. Snowy and cold. B. Warm and sunny. C. Peaceful and happy. D. White and green. ( )10. Why didn't Irving Berlin celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday? A. Because he was Jewish. B. Because he was American. C. Because he was a songwriter. D. Because he was born in Russia. 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。 The "Chong Yang Festival" is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, which is also known as the Double Ninth Festival. 11. . • Climbing Mountains.

There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do. The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely. Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared.
