B Every holiday season, I get nostalgic (怀旧的) and take a trip down Christmas tree lane. I think about how hard my mom worked to make the holidays special. I remember how she said and proudly displayed all of the gifts she received from us. She acted as if her plastic beaded bracelet(手镯) was made of priceless stones. Year after year, whatever we gave her, she would treasure the gifts as though she was the luckiest woman on earth. 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 refuses 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, I've increased its amount now to surprise her at Christmas. I ask myself... What hasn't she done before? What is something that she would like, but would never, in a million years, buy herself? Gifts mom will treasure. So for the one who knows you best and still loves you, find a great gift that will show how much you really care and value her support. Select a thoughtful gift based on what brings her the greatest enjoyment. However, the best gifts, I suppose, cannot be wrapped. Set aside time to spend alone with mom. It can simply be a day together doing what she enjoys most or plan a weekend getaway to a place she has always wanted to see. It will mean more to her than you may ever know. Together you will create lasting memories she will treasure for the rest of her life. What are your most memorable moments with your mom? For your mom, what would you value most in the holiday season? 24. Why does the author regard her mother as her best friend? A. Because they share the same interest in Christmas decorations. B. Because she always receives encouragement from her mother. C. Because her mother gives her a big surprise at every Christmas. D. Because they are pleased with whatever gifts they give each other. 25. What can we infer from the underlined sentences in paragraph 3? A. The author's mother never gets something for nothing. B. The author's mother has always been giving rather than taking. C. The author feels ashamed of having kept her mother working too hard. D. The author bitterly regrets having cared little for her mother in the past. 26. In the author's opinion, what's the best gift for moms? A. Lasting memories. B. Long holiday seasons. C. Time with their children. D. Things moms never buy in person. 27. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Gifts Your Mom Will Treasure B. How to Make Holidays Special C. Memorable Moments with Your Mom D. 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 of. Labor 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 parties — 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 exhibit “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 official 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. C. The reason for setting Labor Day. D. People's emphasis on Labor Day 30. What does the underlined word “festivities” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Manners. B. Approaches. C. Rewards. D. Celebrations. 31. What idea does the author want to convey in the last two paragraphs? A. It is known that America develops very fast. B. 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 happens 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 instance — you don't go and stand at any kind of cash register. When you decide 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 I'm just old-fashioned. But earning money isn't quick 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-honored Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness - - - represent something that matters? But I'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 (鹅卵石). 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-night feeling is fading. D. Earning money is getting more difficult. 34. What can we infer from the passage about the author? A. He is opposed to social changes. B. He is against technological progress. C. He feels unwilling to part with the traditional wallet. D. He feels 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. Age of Wallet Coming to an End 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5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。选项中的两项为多余选项。 Tips for Cutting the Cost of Travel Whether for pleasure or business reasons, it is normal for us to sometimes want to pack our bags, hit the road, and head to a new destination. 36 , it is not without its expenses and those expenses are capable of drilling a hole in one's pocket if not properly planned out beforehand.

The air smelled of lemons and baked bread and coffee, coming from Rossi's Italian Bakery. He was almost there. Aram still couldn't believe his luck. All his friends were 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. It was all thanks to his Aunt Rita. She knew Mrs Rossi and had arranged everything. It was the perfect experience for his future career. Rossi's Bakcry, he was sure, would one day be known as the place where he got his start. Ah, here he was— the bakery. A faded wooden sign over the door read “Rossi’ s Bakery”. Aram straightened his shoulders and entered. Mrs Rossi was sitting at the counter, looking old and wise. Aram greeted her and stuck out his hand. Mrs Rossi looked at it for a second before turning around and waving him inside. “I'm ready to learn everything,” Aram said. “Great. 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 to say. 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. Suddenly she came alive, waving her arthritic(关节炎的) hands. “People used to line up around the corner. 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, “Let’ s buy the ingredients first.” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
