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.24.How do British people celebrate May Day?A.

We only need a few grams of protein to keep our body in order.Be always in a good mood. There is a relationship between the mood and health. A good mood keeps you in high spirits. Thanks to the Internet, we can enjoy and learn much without going out. Take a look at some online shops and pick up some bargains, enjoy music and movies and chat with good friends. Just keep happy.Enough sleep. Two studies show the reasons why teens and adults dont have enough sleep. With teens, a major reason is mobile phone use; with adults, its work. Meanwhile, a third study of young children shows that lack of sleep in early life may lead to serious problems in future. Everyone needs at least 8-hour sleep to recover(恢复) from tiredness and the hurt caused by hard work in the daytime.Proper exercise. Do exercise to keep away from fatness. Because of the quick pace of the modem life, you dont have time to do exercise every day, but at least three times a week and 45 minutes each time.28.

On the other hand, Italians, for example, exercise more control. We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict（冲突）.”Claes said Canada, France and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors. “We chose FrenchCanadians because they share the same language as France, and originally came from France and share certain values. Italy was included because it was considered to have similar, strong and important family values,” he explained.The researchers examined the emotional（情感的) ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 to 19 years old.Canadian students reported less control and more free actions, according to the study. Italian parents were stricter and French parents were somewhere in the middle.Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada, France and Italy.“North America has its own educational values, which promote individualization. Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged. Italy, on the other hand, promotes respect of authority, control, and the need for permission.” he said.Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative. Italian and Canadian children had similar feelings about their fathers, and reported high levels of emotional ties. But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold.“We were surprised by this,” Claes admitted.“It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and their children were becoming closer over time, while fathers keep a form of distance and coldness, which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries.”32.Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada, France and Italy _.A.have the same family spiritB.have some similar cultural traditionsC.have experienced some similar social changesD.have experienced similar cultural developments33.How did the researchers carry out the study?A.By collecting answers of parents from Canada, France and ItalyB.By collecting answers of children from Canada, France and ItalyC.By questioning parents and their children from Italian Canadian familiesD.By questioning children from FrenchCanadian families34.According to Michel Claes, what mainly leads to the differences in parentchildren relationships among Canada, France and Italy?A.Educational values B.Traditional ideasC.Cultural values D.Historical events35.Which of the following is NOT a finding of the study?A.French children have troubled relationships with their fathers.B.Canadian children have close relationships with their parentsC.Italian children have good relationships with their fathers.D.Kids from Canada, France and Italy have closer ties with their moms 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind. 36 . Many people lack sleep all the time, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day. Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone 37 . Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness 38 . Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately 39 . Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people. 40 . Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits. A. To fight family laziness, set an example. B. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep. C. Knowing how to fight laziness is important. D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness. E. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child. F. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal. G. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从4160题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。This is the story of two lovers, who finally got married.
