Like Independence Day,Labor Day is time for outdoor picnics,and it marks the end of the summer season.Cele- brations of other nations'historic days are quite common in America.An example of one holiday is Cinco de Mayo.It celebrates Mexican Independence from the French in 1862. People hold parades and outdoor fairs in cities to show rich Mexican culture. 第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 21~25 DABAD 26~30 CCCBD 31~35 ADCBC 2l.D【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“The dra- gon is important in Chinese culture.We Chinese people call ourselves the‘descendants(f传人)of the dragon'.” 可知，龙深深扎根于中国文化是因为中国人认为自己是 龙的传人。故选D。 22.A【解析】词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Today, many customs have faded away.But one that has remained is the cutting of hair..”可知，前后句有转折关系，其中 画线短语faded away和后文中remained(留下，保持不 变)意思相反，指“消失”，与disappear gradually意义 相近。故选A。 23.B【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“On the day in ancient times,people put ashes in the kitchen.This was to lead the dragon into the house'.People believed that with the help of the dragon,they could have a good harvest in autumn.”可知，在古代，人们把灰放在厨房 里，是因为他们相信灰会把龙引到家里。故选B。 24.A【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中“.but people have been taking time on the calendar to give a shout-out to Mom for a long time.The Greeks and Romans had mother goddess festivals-although their celebrations didn't involve the menfolk taking their underappreciated mothers out to dinner.”可知，虽然有母亲节，但母亲们 没有得到足够的感激和重视。故选A。 108 25.D【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中的 "Mother's Day as it is observed in the United States started in the 1850 s with Ann Jarvis...in the workplace.”和第四 段中的“After her mother died,in May 1905,Anna started holding yearly ceremonies...in May a national holiday." 知，在19世纪50年代美国开始庆祝母亲工作日，并倡 导推动母亲节。1905年5月，安娜的母亲去世后，她开 始举行周年纪念仪式，并进行不懈的公关活动，让这一 天成为节日。1908年，她成功地获得了费城百货公司巨 头和广告先锋约翰·沃纳梅克的支持，到1912年，西弗 吉尼亚州和其他几个州都采用了母亲节。两年后，伍德 罗·威尔逊总统签署了一项决议，宣布5月的第二个星 期天为国定假日。由此可知，安娜·贾维斯在母亲节的 创立方面起了重要的作用。故选D。 26.C【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段中 "...Ann Jarvis,a West Virginia woman who held 'Mo- thers'Work Days'to promote health and hygiene ( at home and in the workplace.”可知，Ann Jarvis举办 “母亲工作日”活动是为了促进家庭和工作场所的健康 和卫生；根据第三段中“Inl870 Howe published her Mother's Day Proclamation'.power for peace.”可知， Howe发表了她的“母亲节宣言”，该宣言认为母亲节不 是孩子对母亲的感恩，而是妇女行使集体力量争取和平 的机会；根据最后一段中“By the192 Os Anna Jarvis was campaigning against the holiday she had been instrumental in creating.'I wanted it to be a day of emotionalism,not profit,.’she said.”可知，到了20世纪20年代，安娜贾 维斯发起了反对这个节日的运动。她说：“我希望这一 天充满感情，而不是利益。”综合上面提到的内容可知， 现在的母亲节已与最初的母亲节的精神相悖。故选C。 27.C【解析】主旨大意题。本文主要按时间顺序叙 述了母亲节创立的背景故事。故选择C项“母亲节创立 背后的故事”。A.反对母亲节；B.关于庆祝母亲节的争 论；D.关于母亲节的不同形式的庆祝活动。故选C。 28.C【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段关键句 “Outdoor Classroom Day..可知，在“户外课堂日”，孩 子们把学习转移到教室外面，他们可以在这一天玩耍， 或使用石头等自然物体来学习，由此可知，在“户外课 堂日”，孩子们利用户外的自然事物学习和玩要。故 选C。 29.B【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段内容“This is helping to change the trend that sees many schools sell- igup.”可知，孩子们在户外的时间更少了，是因为成 年人忽视了游戏时间的重要性。故选B。 30.D【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句 "93%of teachers surveyed saw improvements in children's creativity after playing outside.”可知，多数教师认为在 户外玩耍可以提高孩子的创造力，有助于充分发挥他们 的潜能，由此可推断出，学校老师对这项运动的态度是 支持的。故选D。 31.A【解析】主旨大意题。通读文章，结合第二段 关键句“Outdoor Classroom Day,.taking place on 17 th May and Ist November this year,will see schools around the world swap the inside for the outside.”可知，本文主要 介绍了一项名为“Outdoor Classroom Day”的活动，这 项活动旨在通过增加孩子的玩耍时间，来提高孩子的创 造力，充分发挥他们的潜力。故选A。 32.D【解析】根据第一段中的“Yet when we grow up,it gets a little harder.Life and careers don't have tests with an A if we get the‘right'answer..”可知，作者想 告诉我们生活中的规则和学校里的不一样。故选D。 33.C【解析】根据第二段中的“She is struggling with what she wants for her career..”和“Yet she wasn't sure of the right answer for using her degree.She said that deep down she was hoping that someone might give her the answer..”可知，这个大学生对于她的职业选择很迷 茫。故选C。 34.B【解析】根据第三段中的“My encouragement is to get valued advice and input,of course,but finally to look within yourself for the answers.”可知，当在生活中 寻找答案时，你需要倾听你自己的心声。故选B。 35.C【解析】根据最后一段的内容可知，C项是能 得出标准答案(right answer)而非适合自己的答案的问 题，而A、B、D选项都是发自内心的问题。故选C。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 36~40 DFEBG 36.D【解析】根据空前“Halloween is one of the most celebrated holidays in the United States..”;再根据空 "Many schools also celebrate the holiday by having kids dress up in costumes,take part in costume shows,and join in a variety of activities relating to Halloween..”可知 D."Each year there're millions of Americans celebrations the holiday.”切题。下文中的they指代该项中的Many teachers,.parents,and students。故选D。 37.F【解析】根据空后“They also say that dressing up in costumes allows kids to express themselves and show off their creativity..”承接下文，F.“Many teachers,par- ents,and students see these celebrations as a fun break from the school day.”故选F。 38.E【解析】根据空后“Officials at many of those schools say the celebrations are too time-consuming 的)and take away class time.”承接下文，E.“But more and more schools have canceled (Halloween cele- brations in recent years.”切题。该项中的but将上下文 参考答案。 连在一起。故选E。 39.B【解析】根据空后“Bree Picower,.a Professor of Early and Elementary Education at Montclair State,said, ..Schools are places where students should feel included." 承接下文，B.“Experts say Maplewood is not alone.”切 题。故选B。 40.G【解析】根据空前“Some said that the new no- Halloween policy was a welcome change.”承接上文，G.
