People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one stands for a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services(宗教儀式) to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves. On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. They often have outdoor BBQs for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A
Food
British people like good food, and more than half of them go to a restaurant every month. Fast food is also very popular---30% of all adults have a hamburger every three months, but 46% have fish and chips!
Sports
British people don’t do a lot of sports. Only 17% of people go swimming every week, about 9% go cycling and 8% play golf--- and only 6% of people play football (but 32% go to watch it).
Cinema and TV
Films are very popular in Britain, and about 60% of the young people go to the cinema every month. At home, men watch TV for about three hours every day ---30 minutes more than women.
Holidays
British people love going on holiday, and have 56 holidays every year. Most of these holidays aren’t spent in the UK---27% are in Spain. 10% are in the USA, and 9% are in France. Maybe this is because the weather in Britain isn’t very good!

For shopoholics, the post-Christmas period means only one thing ---- sales! Across the country, prices are reducing sharply on clothing, electronics and home furniture, but London is the place for serious shopping, and you can certainly pick up some amazing bargains.
The sales start on Boxing Day — 26th December, and continue for the month of January, but the keenest bargain hunters get there early to be first through the doors. In Oxford Street queues formed outside shops ahead of before-dawn openings for the start of their sales. At Brent Cross, in north London, more than 1,000 people were queuing at 3.30 am for the ‘Next’ clothing store’s sale which began at 4 am. Some eager individuals even camped outside the shops to be first in the line.
Consumers who hit the shops were rewarded with discounts of as much as 80% as department stores joined the bargain sales. The shops are very crowded as the sales reached the boiling-point, with more than half a million people gathering on London’s West End.
Famous sales include the biggest, most popular shops such as Harrods, Selfridges, Liberty and John Lewis. Department stores are always a good bet — you’re likely to find everything you need under one roof, including much-needed food and drinks!
It’s a good time to stock up on cheap small tools, and there’s no better time to invest in some designer clothes.
Some people are taking their partners shopping with them, and buying their Christmas presents in the sale----a practical but unromantic way of making sure you get the gift you really want. For a less exciting but less stressful shopping experience, online sellers are also getting in on the act with January sales of their own.
The most organized of all are those who are already doing their present shopping for next Christmas, in the January sales!

  1. 1.

    In the sales, people can buy, at a very low price, all of the following except ______.

    1. A.
      fashionable clothing
    2. B.
      bestseller
    3. C.
      TV sets
    4. D.
      bookcases
  2. 2.

    We can learn from the passage that the sales ______.

    1. A.
      actually start before the end of December
    2. B.
      generally last for two months
    3. C.
      basically benefit none of the people
    4. D.
      are a time to buy Christmas gifts in a romantic way
  3. 3.

    “Hit the shops” in the third paragraph means to ______.

    1. A.
      attack the shops
    2. B.
      arrive at the shops
    3. C.
      affect the shops
    4. D.
      find the shops
  4. 4.

         What is the best title for this passage?

    1. A.
      January Sales
    2. B.
      Sales in London at Christmas
    3. C.
      Practical but Unromantic Shopping

One of the political issues that is heard a lot about in the States lately is campaign(競選)finance reform(改革). The people who are1for reform usually want the2to pay for campaigns and/or limit the amount of money that candidates(候選人)and their3can spend.
One reason that reform is called for is that it costs so much to4for political office. Candidates have to spend a great deal of time and effort5money. The incumbents (those already in office) have less time to do chief jobs since they must6so many money raising events.
Another7is the fear that candidates will be owned or8by the “special interest groups” that give money to their campaigns. Sometimes this certainly seems to be the9.
On the10side are those who say that it doesn’t mean it’s really11just because you call something “reform”. They argue that the right to freedom of speech is12if the government can limit anyone’s ability to get his or her message out to the people.
If one person or a group of people want to tell the13what they think about an issue or candidate, they have to buy14on TV, radio, and in newspapers and magazines. They might want to put up advertisements along highways and on websites. All this costs a lot of15.
Those against laws that control or limit spending say that you don’t really have freedom of16or freedom of the press if you can’t get your message out. They say the government should never be able to control17discussions. They believe that this is most important when the voters are about to make18.

One day, a young man with a week – old beard climbed out of a6automobile. He had no money and no food. He asked if I could give him some7, offer him gasoline and a meal. I told him that if he wanted to work for me, he could cut the grass, but8the work wasn’t necessary.

Throughout the history of the arts,the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists.No matter what objects they select,artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change—to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
Landscape(風景) is another unchanging element of art.It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists.In the 1970s Alfred Leslie,one of the new American realists,continued this practice.Leslie sought out the same place where Toomas Cole,a romanticist,had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before.Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature,Lealie paints what he actually sees.In his paintings,there is no particular change in emotion,and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background.He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(攝影術(shù)) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides,all art begs the age-old question:What is real?Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another.The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects,the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes,and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient Forests.To sum up,understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant.Past or present,Eastern or Western,the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience.Many and different are the faces of art,and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.

  1. 1.

    The underlined word “poetry” most probably means______.

    1. A.
      an object for artistic creation
    2. B.
      a collection of poems
    3. C.

      they are close in style to works in ancient times
    2. B.
      they look like works by 19th-century painters
    3. C.
      they draw attention to common things in life
    4. D.
      they depend heavily on color photography
  3. 3.

    What is the author’s opinion of artistic reality?

    1. A.
      It will not be found in future works of art.
    2. B.
      It does not have a long-lasting standard.
    3. C.
      It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.
    4. D.

Each season, the little animal would work very hard to search out the rare beans, and “cache” them away in its nest (窩). The Indians learned of this and found out the hiding place. They collected most of the beans for themselves. When the mouse returned to its home and found only a few of the tasty beans left, it set to work, harder than ever before, gathering more beans.
