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 CABAD 26~30 CCCBD 31~35 ADCBC 21.C【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段第三句中的 "...showcase the creativity of the Harvard arts community through performances,art exhibitions and art-making activi- ties.”可知，ARTS FIRST艺术节通过表演、艺术展览 和艺术创作活动的形式展示哈佛艺术社区的创造力，表 演、艺术展览和艺术创作皆是娱乐性质的，因此，它是 一个展示娱乐活动的艺术节。故选C。

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

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 the1920 s 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

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
