It is the time of year when warmer weather begins. People celebrate the coming of summer with customs that are expressions of joy and hope after a long winter. Today, May Day activities have been moved to the May Day holiday on the first Monday of the month. It is a public holiday when families take advantage of the time off to visit some of the UKs many attractions, including parks, zoos, historic buildings, ancient towns and villages and beautiful countryside. May Day celebrations have their origins in the Roman festival of Flora, the goddess of fruit and flowers, which marked the beginning of summer. People would decorate their houses and villages with leaves and flowers they picked at daybreak in the belief that the vegetation spirits would bring good luck. In the very early morning, young girls went into the fields and washed their faces with dew (露水). They believed this made them very beautiful for the following year. May Day was an important day in the Middle Ages and was a favorite holiday of many English villages. People of the time used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer. This is the origin of the maypole (五月柱). People danced around them in celebration of the end of winter. Maypoles were once common all over England and were kept from one year to the next. The tallest maypole is said to have been put up in London on the Strand in 1661. It stood more than 143 feet high and was cut down in 1717, when it was used by Newton to support a new reflecting telescope (反射式望远镜) invented by Dutch scientist Huygens.36. How do British people celebrate May Day?A. They visit friends and family members.B. They spend a lot of time shopping around.C. They show great love for the long winter.D. They visit some attractions in Britain.37. What can we learn about the maypole?A. People climb it on May Day.B. It dates from the Middle Ages.C. It was usually found in the cities.D. People used old, tall trees to make it.38. The purpose of the text is to _.A. describe Roman customsB. introduce a British festivalC. suggest spring family activitiesD. explain the origins of maypoles B One day, a patient came to see me. He worked as a waiter in a restaurant and his problem was acid reflux (胃酸倒流), a disease that influences as many as 40 percent of Americans, a marked increase in recent years. Reflux can lead to esophageal (食道的) cancer, which has increased by about 500 percent since the 1970s. The drugs we use to treat reflux dont always work and may even increase the risk of developing cancer when used long term. What is responsible for these worrying developments? For one, our poor diet, with its huge increases in the intake of sugar, fat, soft drinks, and unhealthy foods. But another important fact has been overlooked: dinnertime. Over the past twenty years, the time of my patients evening meals has become later and later. Dinner - already pushed back by longer work hours - is often further delayed (推迟) by activities such as shopping and exercise. In my experience, the single most important treatment for reflux is to avoid late eating. A patient with reflux came to see me because her father and uncle died of esophageal cancer, and she was afraid of getting it too. Her nightly routine (常规) included a 9 p.m. dinner with at least two bottles of red wine. The reflux was serious, and changes were needed. She listened, then did not come back to see me for a year. “For the first two months, I just hated you,” she told me, “and for the next two months, I was having some trouble eating. I guessed I was going to die of esophageal cancer.” Then she added, “You know, were the reason that its not so easy to get 6 p.m. reservations (预约) at the good restaurants anymore.” To stop the increase in reflux disease, we have to stop eating at least three hours before bed. As for my waiter patient? I told him to eat dinner before 7 p.m. Within six weeks, his reflux was gone.39. The disease the waiter caught is _.A. on the rise B. easy to controlC. unusual in America D. the most dangerous cancer40. What does the underlined word “overlooked” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Talked about a lot. B. Paid no attention to. C. Carefully looked into. D. Taken into consideration.41. Why did the woman patient hate the author?A. He spoke of her dead father and uncle.B. He asked her to change her eating habits. C. He couldnt find a way to deal with her problem.D. He couldnt make her healthy again within a year.42. The author writes the text to tell us _.A. not to work late at night B. to avoid eating at restaurants C. unhealthy foods cause cancer D. the danger of eating late at night C One day, when I was working as a psychologist(心理学家) in England，a boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and Im very worried about him. Can you help?” I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesnt have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically. The first two times we met, David didnt say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the childrens drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon - in complete silence and without looking at me. Its not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice. Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me? Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with, I thought. Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly. Its your turn, he said. After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life. Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one - without any words - can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.43. When he first met the author, David _ .A. felt a little excitedB. walked energeticallyC. looked a little nervousD. showed up with his teacher44. Which statement about the passage is NOT TRUE?.A. David enjoyed being with the author.B. What David really needs is to play chess with someone.C. David didnt say a word the first two times they met. D. The author knows how to treat Davids problem.45.What can be inferred about David?A. He recovered after months of treatment.B. He liked biking before he lost his family.C. He went into university soon after starting to talk.D. He got friends in school before he met the author. 46. What made David change?A. His teachers help. B. The authors friendship.C. His exchange of letters with the author. D. The authors silent communication and company with him.D Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes. An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys (调查) on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat”overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This usually interpreted as a sign that todays parents are trying to manage their childrens lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate. However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children. In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasnt present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parentstodays grandparentswould have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier. Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past. Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of better communication. This has many implications(影响，含意) well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.47. The surveys inform us of_.A. the development of technologyB. the changes of adult childrens behaviorC. the parents over-protection of their college childrenD. the means and expenses of students communication48. The writer believes that_.A. parents today are more protective than those in the pastB. the disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantagesC. technology explains parents greater involvement with their childrenD. parentschanged attitudes lead to college childrens delayed independence49. What is the best title for the passage?A. Technology or AttitudeB. Dependence or IndependenceC. Frequent Communication or Little ConcernD. College Management or Communication Advancement50. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?第四部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A little girl lived in a simple and poor house on a hill.
