(周一至周五14:00-15:00)”可知，如果你星期一下午去博物馆，可以参加自然历史博物馆历史之旅。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文可知，文章主要介绍了南金斯敦国家博物馆的四个不同的专题之旅。所以推断可以在博物馆网站的“在展览什么”栏目找到这篇文章。故选C。 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? 4. 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. 5. What can we infer from the underlined sentences in the third paragraph? 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. 6. 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. 7. 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 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章作者通过给妈妈送礼物这件事讨论了妈妈会珍惜的礼物是什么。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“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.(她在我身边，不仅是在美好的时刻为我骄傲地加油，而且在困难的时候握着我的手，让我靠着她的肩膀哭泣。即使我想放弃，她也不肯放弃我。在生活的挑战中，她总是在那里鼓励我，渴望庆祝生活的快乐。)”可知，作者认为她的母亲是她最好的朋友，因为她总是从母亲那里得到鼓励。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据划线部分句子“What hasn’t she done before? What is something that she would like, but would never, in a million years, buy herself?(她以前没做过什么？什么东西是她想要的，但永远也不会给自己买的？)”可推知，作者的母亲总是给予而不是索取。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“However, the best gifts, I suppose, cannot be wrapped. Set aside time to spend alone with mom.(然而，我想最好的礼物是无法包装的。留出时间和妈妈独处。)”可知，作者认为对于妈妈来说最好的礼物是和孩子在一起的时间。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Year after year, whatever we gave her, she would treasure the gifts as though she was the luckiest woman on earth.(年复一年，无论我们送她什么，她都会珍惜这些礼物，仿佛她是世界上最幸运的女人。)”、文章第四段“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.(妈妈会珍惜的礼物。所以，对于那个最了解你，仍然爱你的人，找一份能显示你有多关心和珍惜她支持的礼物吧。选择一份能给她带来最大快乐的礼物。)”和文章第五段“However, the best gifts, I suppose, cannot be wrapped. Set aside time to spend alone with mom.(然而，我想最好的礼物是无法包装的。留出时间和妈妈独处。)”可知，文章主要讨论了妈妈会珍惜的礼物是什么。所以用A项“Gifts Your Mom Will Treasure”作为文章的题目与文章主题项符合。故选A。 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. 8. 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. 9 What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A. The real meaning of Labor Day. B. The development of Labor Day. C. The reason of setting Labor Day. D. People’s emphasis on Labor Day. 10. What does the underlined word “festivities” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Manners. B. Approaches. C. Rewards. D. Celebrations. 11. 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 the life unsteady. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。全文介绍了美国劳动节的由来，以及劳动节的巨大意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“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.(一些记录显示，1882年，木匠和木匠兄弟会的秘书长、美国劳工联合会的联合创始人Peter J. McGuire建议为“劳动阶级的公共假日”留出一天。但许多人认为机械师马修·马奎尔，而不是彼得·麦奎尔，创立了这个节日)”可知，人们对于谁建立了劳动节说法不一。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“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.(根据中央工会的计划，第一个劳动节假期于1882年9月5日星期二在纽约市庆祝。中央工会在一年后的1883年9月5日举行了第二次劳动节假期。到1894年，又有23个州采纳了这一节日。1894年6月28日，格罗弗·克利夫兰总统签署了一项法律，将每年9月的第一个星期一定为全国性节日)”可知，第三段从第一次建立劳动节开始，一直讲述到1894年官方确立劳动节，因此全段讲述了劳动节的发展历程。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Many Americans celebrate Labor Day with parades (游行), picnics and parties (许多美国人以游行、野餐和聚会的方式来庆祝劳动节)”可知，破折号后的festivities是对此的进一步解释，故其在这里是“庆祝活动”的意思。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“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.(再后来，根据1909年美国劳工联合会会议的一项决议，劳动节之前的星期天被定为劳动星期日，并致力于劳工运动的精神和教育方面”以及根据第六段“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.(美国劳工提高了国家的生活水平，为世界上最伟大的生产做出了贡献，工人运动使我们更接近实现我们传统的经济和政治民主理想)”可知，最后两段讲述人们对劳动节的重视程度日益加深，劳动者在提高人们生活水平方面起到了重要作用。由此推知，作者在最后两段强调为劳动者建立节日是非常值得的。故选C。 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 comer 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 weird 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 maters? 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 (鹏卵石). 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. 12. What does the author intended to show with the example of buying chocolate and milk? A. Goods like chocolate and milk should be sold only in comer 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. 13. 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. 14. What can we infer from the passage about the author? A. He is resistant to social changes. B. He is against technological progress. C. He feels unwilling to part with the traditional wallet. D. He feels insecure in the ever changing modern world. 15. Which of the following is the best tide 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 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述随着社会发展，现金交易正在减少，钱包正在走向消亡。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“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 comer shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted.(钱包正在走向消亡。作为日常生活的必需品，它将随着阅读纸质报纸的一代人而消亡。现在，这种购物方式只发生在我们最次要的零售遭遇中，比如从一家小商店买一块巧克力或一瓶牛奶，你只需要递上钞票，数出零钱就可以了。在你花钱的商店里，钱越来越抽象化。)”可知，作者举例巧克力或牛奶是在说明现代人很少用现金买东西，除非一些小的需要用零钱购买。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段由文章第二段“But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. (但纵观整个社会，现金概念的抽象化让我感到不安。也许我只是过时了。)”和“Isn’t it a bit weird 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 maters?(在半眨眼之间就花掉了，这不是有点奇怪吗？一个钱包——一种久负盛名的周五晚上令人愉悦、充满希望的肥胖感——难道不是很重要吗？)”可知，钱很快并且容易就花出去这件事让作者感到奇怪和不舒服。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. (但纵观整个社会，现金概念的抽象化让我感到不安。也许我只是过时了。)”和“Doesn’t a wallet — that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness — represent something that maters?(一个钱包——一种久负盛名的周五晚上令人愉悦、充满希望的肥胖感——难道不是很重要吗？)”可知，作者对没有现金的消费还是不适应，对使用钱包有一定的执念。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第一段“The wallet is heading for extinction. (钱包正在走向消亡。)”以及后文可知，文章主要在讲述由于时代的发展，现在很多交易都是非现金交易了，纸币的钞票即将消亡。D项“钱包时代即将结束”可以概括文章内容，故选D项。 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. ____16____, 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. Below are several tips to ensure you don’t end up too much out of pocket by the end of your travels. • ____17____. More often than not, people go directly to the airline websites to book their tickets. But did you know that there are so many websites, like Traveligo, which specialize in finding cheap flights for travelers? This is a great go-to website whenever you want to book your flight. • Choose a cheaper means of transportation. While everyone likes to fly to their travel destination for ease and speed, flying isn’t the only transport option available. Depending on where you’re living and where you’re headed, you can always select public transport. ____18____. • Don’t use hotels. ____19____. By using Airbnb or any of its popular competitors, travelers have the opportunity to not only live like locals but also spend far less. • Use a travel credit card. When you apply for these cards, you can control opportunities like signing-up bonuses (红利), most of which are offered by airline credit cards. ____20____. You can save yourself a lot of money by means of extra miles whenever you’re ready to hit the road. A. Surf the website for tickets B. Save on airfare C. If you’re a traveler looking to reduce the travel costs D. While traveling is an exciting experience E. These bonus points can help you increase a lot of miles F. Staying at someone’s house can be cheaper than booking a hotel G. So research what’s available and choose the best option for your budget 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. G 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了减少旅行费用的一些小贴士。 【16题详解】 根据后文“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.(它不是没有费用, 如果没有事先妥善计划, 这些费用能让一个花费很多)”可知，后文陈述的花费问题。由此推知，空处与下文形成转折关系，且内容与旅行有关，选项D中连词While表示转折, 因此D选项“虽然旅行是一种令人兴奋的经历”符合题意。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据下文“But did you know that there are so many websites, like Traveligo, which specialize in finding cheap flights for travelers? (但是你知道有很多像Traveligo这样专门为旅行者寻找便宜机票的网站吗?)”可知，后文提到了寻找便宜机票，且此处是本段的小标题，内容与节省机票钱有关。故B选项“节省机票”符合题意。故选B。 【18题详解】 空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“While everyone likes to fly to their travel destination for ease and speed, flying isn’t the only transport option available. Depending on where you’re living and where you’re headed, you can always select public transport.(虽然每个人都喜欢乘坐飞机轻松快捷地到达目的地，但飞机并不是唯一可用的交通工具。根据你住的地方和要去的地方，你可以选择公共交通工具)”可知，本句内容与选择合适的交通工具有关。G 选项“所以，研究一下什么是可用的，然后根据你的预算做出最好的选择”符合题意，与上文构成因果关系。故选 G。 【19题详解】 根据本段小标题“Don’t use hotels.(不要住酒店)”和下文“travelers have the opportunity to not only live like locals but also spend far less(旅行者不仅有机会像当地人一样生活，而且花费也少得多)”可知，本段不建议住酒店，且后文提到了有机会像当地人一样生活，可推测此处内容与住当地人的家里可能比住酒店花费少有关。F选项“住在别人家里可能比预订酒店便宜”符合题意。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“When you apply for these cards, you can control opportunities like signing-up bonuses(红利), most of which are offered by airline credit cards. (当你申请这些卡时, 你可以有机会得到如注册红利。其中大部分是由航空公司信用卡提供的)”可知，上文提到了注册红利，可推测本句内容与红利积分的用处有关。E选项“这些额外的红利积分可以帮助你增加很多里程”符合题意。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15 小题; 每小题1分, 满分 15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 There are places that call your name.

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 Bakery, 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.” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then a thought occurred to Aram that he could ask Mrs Rossi to teach him. But he was not sure whether Mrs Rossi liked the idea or not. Thinking that if he didn't put it forward, he would be dealing with the boring cash register for the whole summer, Aram hesitated no more. “Mrs Rossi, I'm wondering if I could have the privilege to be your apprentice.” Mrs Rossi looked at him and then his hands. Aram continued. “I was fascinated by the pure magic with which you mixed those ingredients and turned them into pieces of art. Would you teach me to be your magical hands?” Aram’s eyes glittered with passion. Mrs Rossi finally said, “Let’s buy the ingredients first.” On hearing this, Aram felt over the moon. Delightedly, they shut the door and headed for the supermarket. Two hours later those empty bottles were full again. With the long options ingredients inside, Mrs Rossi seemed as overjoyed and hopeful as Aram. At the end of the summer, neighbors were seen lining up round the corner outside the Rossi’s. Two years later, a new wooden sign was hung over the door, reading “Aram and Rossi’s Bakery”. 【解析】 【分析】本文是记叙文。文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Mrs Rossi因年岁已高，无法打理自己的面包店，但打暑期工的Aram诚心拜师学艺，并与Rossi一起成功拯救面包店的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Aram突然想到，他可以请罗西太太来教他。”可知，第一段可描写Aram如何说出他的想法并成功打动Mrs Rossi的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“Mrs Rossi最后说:“我们先去买食材吧。”可知，第二段可描写Mrs Rossi同意Aram的请求后他们做的事情。 2.续写线索：Aram有了主意——Aram决定拜师——陈述原因——得到认可——一起购买佐料——取得成功 3.词汇激 行为类 ①.继续：continue /go on ②.发光：glitter /shine/flash 情绪类 ①.着迷：fascinated /amazed ②.喜悦：delightedly / joyfully /happily 【点睛】[高分句型1].

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? 4. 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. 5. What can we infer from the underlined sentences in the third paragraph? 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. 6. 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. 7. 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. 8. 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. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A. The real meaning of Labor Day. B. The development of Labor Day. C. The reason of setting Labor Day. D. People’s emphasis on Labor Day. 10. What does the underlined word “festivities” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Manners. B. Approaches. C. Rewards. D. Celebrations. 11. 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 the 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 comer 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 weird 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 maters? 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 (鹏卵石). 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. 12. What does the author intended to show with the example of buying chocolate and milk? A. Goods like chocolate and milk should be sold only in comer 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. 13.

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 Bakery, 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.” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
