Through the years, friends come and go, but my mom is a constant, my true best friend and biggest fan. She's by my side not only for the good moments cheering me on with pride. but holding my hand and letting me use her shoulder to cry on through the bad. She refnses to give up on me even when I want to. She is always there to encourage me in the midst of life's challenges and eager to celebrate life's joys. So as much as the salt dough ornament (装饰品) pleased her, which is in a noticeable place on her tree every year, Ive increased its amount now to surprise her at Christmas. I ask myself..

Mom -A Strong Supporter and the Best Friend C Who first proposed the holiday for workers? It's not entirely clear, but two workers can make a solid claim to the Founder ofLabor Day title Some records show that in 1882, Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, suggested setting aside a day for a"general holiday for the laboring classes". But many believe that machinist Matthew Maguire, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday. The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883. By 1894, 23 more states had adopted the holiday, and on June 28, 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed a law making the first Monday in September of each year a national holiday. Many Americans celebrate Labor Day with parades (游行), picnics and partes 一 festivities very similar to those outlined by the first proposal for a holiday, which suggested that the day should be observed with a street parade to exbibit "the strength and spirits of the trade and labor organizations" of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families. This became the pattern for the celebrations of Labor Day. Speeches by important oficial men and women were introduced later, as more emphasis was placed upon the economic and civil significance of the holiday. Still later, by a resolution of the American Federation of Labor convention of 1909, the Sunday before Labor Day was adopted as Labor Sunday and dedicated to (致力于) the spiritual and educational aspects of the labor movement. American labor has raised the nation's standard of living and contributed to the greatest production the world has ever known and the labor movement has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. 28. What can we know from paragraph 2? A. People's views about the founder of Labor Day vary. B. The author considered Matthew Maguire the founder C. Peter J. McGuire wanted to set a few days for a holiday. D. Labor Day was originally set up for American machinists 29. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A. The real meaning of Labor Day B. The development of Labor Day 高一年级英语试卷第5页,共10页 5/10 C. The reason for setting Labor Day. D. People's einphasis on Labor Day 30. What does the underlined word "festivities"in paragraph 4 mean? A.

The original meaning of Labor Day changes C. It is worthwhile to set a day for the laborer. D. The labor movement makes life unsteady. D The wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping- where you hand over notes and count out change in return - now hapuens only in the most minor of our retail (零售的) encounters, like buying a bar of chocolate or a bottle of milk, from a corner shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true. the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge retail store - Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for nstance - you don't go and stand at any kind of cash register When you dccide to pay, the staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa, which is nothing more or less than excellent service. if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe f'm just old-fashioned. But earning money isn't auick or easy for most of us. Isn't it a bit strange that spending it should happen in half a blink of an eye? Doesn't a wallet - that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness - represent something that matters? But P'll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet - the way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets -is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smart phone or an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as a pebble (卵石). Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into comers, we move our fingers left and right No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer. 32. What does the author intend to show with the example of buying chocolate and milk? A. Goods like chocolate and milk should be sold only in corner shops B. Now people seldom use cash unless making small purchases C. People won't bother to buy daily groceries with cash D. The new generation no longer needs wallet 33. What makes the author feel uncomfortable nowadays? A. Spending money is so fast and easy. B. Saving money is no longer necessary. C. The pleasing Friday-nighr feeling is fading . D. Earning money is getting more difficult 高一年级英语试卷第6页,共10页 _ vuuug nore and more popular 6/10 34. What can we infer from the passage about the author? A. He is opposcd to social changes. B. He is against technological progrcss. C. He feels unwilling to part with the traditional wallet D. He fcels unsafe in the ever changing modern world 35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Wallet: A Thing of the Past B. Changes in Payment Trends C. Cash: No Longer Useful D.

All his friends wcre working boring summer jobs-waiting tables and babysitting. And here he was, about to start as an actual baker's assistant, doing what he loved.

Let's start with the cash register," Mrs Rossi said, "because that's what you'll be doing." She showed him how to use the cash register. It wasn't hard. The pastry trays were all marked by price, and there weren't that many choices anyway. "That's it?" Aram said, his heart sinking. "But when do we bake?" “Bake? I order wholesale now. No more baking. I'm too old." Then Mrs Rossi silently 'held up her hands. Aram took in her knotted, swollen fingers, and he understood. A wave of disappointment struck him. Sadness overwhelmed him so suddenly that he couldn't think of a word tosay. He sighed, and Mrs Rossi sighed, too. "I used to bake it all. Bread and cakes. And no one did it better than me. But that was when these things worked," said Mrs Rossi holding up her hands once more and glancing across the shelves filled with empty bottles labelled with names of the various ingredients (配料) she once used.

Everyone wanted my baked bread." 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。 Then a thought occurred to Aram that he could ask Mrs Rossi to teach him. Mrs Rossi finally said.
