In many countries around the world, May 1st is a holiday which is called Labor Day or Workers’ Day. It is an interesting holiday that honors working people and their jobs. But do you know how it started?
During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories, but made very little money. Later, in the United States and Canada, working people got together to set up unions(工会). The union leaders asked factory bosses for shorter working time and higher salaries(工资), but many of the bosses ________.
On May 1st, 1886, men and women in the United States and Canada stopped working and went onto the streets. They walked through cities and towns to force bosses to let them work eight hours a day. In the city of Chicago, several people died in fighting with the police. Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working on May 1st to honor workers everywhere. By the early twentieth century, the first of May became a national holiday in many countries.
However, in the United States and Canada, May 1st is not a holiday. North Americans celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday in September.

The Silk Road is a historically important international trade route between China and the Mediterranean(地中海). It began during the Western Han Dynasty and has been a bridge between East and West for over 2,000 years.
The ancient road started from Chang’an(now Xi’an) and ended in Eastern Europe, near today’s Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea. It was about 6,500 kilometers long and went across one-fourth of the earth.
The Silk Road got its name in the 19th century because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road. Silk, jade, ceramics and iron went west to Rome. And from the west came glass, gems and food like carrots.

Besides trade, knowledge about art science and literature, as well as crafts and technologies was shared across the Silk Road.

C. It went across one-third of the earth.
D. It went across one-fourth of the earth.
24. Why was it named the Silk Road?

D篇
The Huaping Senior High School for Girls in Lijiang, Yunnan is famous not only because lots of students there enter universities, but also because it is the first girls’ public high school that doesn’t charge students any money in our country—it’s free to everyone in it.
Nothing would have happened without Zhang Guimei, head teacher of the Huaping Senior High School for Girls. The 64-year-old woman has been fighting against the unfair things girls face in the mountain for a long time.
In 2001, Zhang noticed that many girls from poor families had little chance of getting education. Then the idea of starting a free school for girls came into her mind. To raise money, between 2002 and 2007, Zhang spent the summer and winter vacations on the streets asking people to give away money to her school. However, she only collected about 10,000 yuan.
Later, a reporter reported her story. At last, she got one million yuan from the government, and the Huaping Senior School for Girls was opened in September, 2008.
There were many difficulties at first, but Zhang didn’t give up. “I want my students to go to good universities,” she said. So far, over 1,600 girls have left school and received higher education at universities. These came at the cost of Zhang’s health.
When asked why she tried to help girls in the mountain, Zhang said, “Education for women can influence three generations (代).”
26. What does the underlined word “charge” mean in Chinese?
A. 收费 B. 赞助 C. 支付 D. 拨款
27. Why did Zhang want to start a free girls’ school?
A. To create more chances for girls. B. To raise money for the poor families.
C. To fight against the unfair things for girls. D. To help girls from poor families get education.

Imagine this: your parents go away on business, but ①你不得不独自待在家里。Would life be as easy as when your parents are around? Would it be a perfect holiday for you?
“I can fill an empty stomach with tomato and egg soup, but that’s all. I think many of my classmates are the same. We wouldn’t know what to do, or how to look after ourselves,” said Zheng Chenyu. “And I’d forget something important. I’d probably watch television and burn the soup.”
“As soon as I leave home, I’ll learn to cook. But now parents do almost everything for us. We’re very lazy,” she said.
Most teenagers only have their time for their homework. ②They don’t learn any life skills until they go to college.
However, Sima Yige doesn’t think so.
“I think I’d be all right. I wouldn’t just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know how to cook some simple dishes because my mum showed me,” the 13-year-old boy said.

In many countries around the world, May 1st is a holiday which is called Labor Day or Workers’ Day. It is an interesting holiday that honors working people and their jobs. But do you know how it started?
During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories, but made very little money. Later, in the United States and Canada, working people got together to set up unions(工会). The union leaders asked factory bosses for shorter working time and higher salaries(工资), but many of the bosses ________.
On May 1st, 1886, men and women in the United States and Canada stopped working and went onto the streets. They walked through cities and towns to force bosses to let them work eight hours a day. In the city of Chicago, several people died in fighting with the police. Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working on May 1st to honor workers everywhere. By the early twentieth century, the first of May became a national holiday in many countries.
However, in the United States and Canada, May 1st is not a holiday. North Americans celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday in September. Today in the United States, Labor Day is mostly about having fun. People enjoy a long weekend and often celebrate it by having picnics with friends or family. In many parts of the United States, Labor Day is also the last day of summer vacation, and students return to school the next day.
16. How long did people work a day in factories in the late 1880s?

【答案】16. D 17. A 18. B 19. D 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了劳动节的由来。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据“During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories, but made very little money.”可知,在19世纪80年代末,人们在工厂一天工作14到16个小时。故选D。

Nothing would have happened without Zhang Guimei, head teacher of the Huaping Senior High School for Girls. The 64-year-old woman has been fighting against the unfair things girls face in the mountain for a long time.
In 2001, Zhang noticed that many girls from poor families had little chance of getting education. Then the idea of starting a free school for girls came into her mind.

Later, a reporter reported her story. At last, she got one million yuan from the government, and the Huaping Senior School for Girls was opened in September, 2008.
There were many difficulties at first but Zhang didn’t give up. “I want my students to go to good universities,” she said. So far, over 1,600 girls have left school and received higher education at universities. These came at the cost of Zhang’s health.
