Labour Day, or Workers Day, is an international holiday that honours working men and women, and the jobs they do.During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories, and earned very little money. In the United States and Canada, working people got together to try to make their workplaces better. These groups of people formed unions (团体). The union leaders asked company directors for shorter work days and higher salaries (工资), but many of them refused to accept their ideas.On May 1, 1886, men and women in the United States and Canada stopped work and marched through cities and towns to try and force bosses to let them work an eight-hour day. In the city of Chicago, several people died in fights with the police. Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working every May 1 to honour workers everywhere. By the early twentieth century, the first of May was a national holiday in many countries.In the United States and Canada, May 1 is not a holiday. North Americans celebrate Labour Day on the first Monday in September. Today in the Unites States, Labour Day is mostly about having fun. People enjoy a long weekend, and often celebrate by having barbecues or picnics with friends or family. In many parts of the Unites States, Labour Day is also the last day of summer vacation, and the students return to school the next day.36. People celebrate Labour Day to honour .

After school, though, Cathy takes the two boys from football to basketball. Then she has to take her daughter to piano lessons. The tired children dont get home until 7 pm. They have a quick supper, and its time for homework.The Taylors are like many American and British parents. They take their children from activity to activity, and try to fit as much as possible into their kids lives. Doctors say many children are under too much pressure. Teachers complain about teaching tired kids in the classroom.Most children take part in after-school clubs. Activities include sports, language learning, music and math classes. Pushy parents are nothing new, but now parents seem to push their children a lot more. Parents see other children doing a lot of things, and they feel their own children should do the same.Linda Miller, a mother of three in London, knows all about such pressure. “In some families, competition starts from a very young age,” she says. “Mothers send their kids to all kinds of classes when they are very young. And they are always comparing them with other children. Its crazy. People shouldnt push their kids so hard.Dr Alice Green agrees. She also says that these children may find it hard to think for themselves when they are older. “Parents are trying to plan their kids lives for them. When these kids are adults, they might find it difficult to plan things for themselves.” Parents should learn to give their kids a bit more time to themselves. On the one hand, children need organized activities. On the other hand, they also need time and freedom to relax, and they need time to do things by themselves.41. Cathy Taylor sends her daughter to . A. math classes B. language school B. sport club D. piano lessons42. Why do teachers complain about teaching those children in the classroom? A. Because they are very tired. B. Because they know a lot of things. C. Because they are under too much pressure. D. Because they cant plan things for themselves.43. From the passage, we know children take part in after-school activities because . A. they have interest in them B. their teachers tell them to do so C. their parents push them to do so D. they see other children doing these things44. Doctors say many children are under too much pressure. Here “pressure” means . A. 学业 B. 压力 C. 负担 D. 竞争45. The writer probably thinks that parents should . A. compare their children with others B. plan their childrens lives for them C. take their children to different classesD. give children time and let them do things by themselves第二卷 （共65分）、词汇填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分）A) 根据句子意思从方框中选择恰当的词或短语填空。are used quick the heaviest visitors busy are strict withtelling me weekly magazine has a bad effect 1.

Usually, these stories do not have much truth to them. One of the biggest fish stories in history was about a whale.In 1891, a ship hunting for whales in the South Atlantic Ocean found a very large whale. While the hunters were trying to kill the whale, it sank two small boats. One man drowned, and another man, James Bartley, was lost in the ocean. However, after the hunters finally killed the whale, they cut open the whales stomach and found Mr Bartley inside. He was not dead!Several weeks later, Mr Bartley seemed to have gotten over his terrible experience. The only thing he could remember was that while he was inside the whale, it was very hot. The liquid (液体) from the whales stomach had turned all of his skin snow white. Mr Bartley had to live with the effect from the whale for the rest of his life.Today, many people have heard about the strange experience of Mr Bartley and do not buy it. Not one real fact has been found to prove that the events ever took place described by the sailors. No scientist or newspaper reporter was ever able to talk to Mr Bartley, and all of the stories told in magazines about Mr Bartleys experience were explained by other sailors on the boat. Mr Bartley was probably not even a real person at all.In 1928, after the captain (船长) of the whaling ship had died, one man asked the captains wife about Mr Bartleys story. The wife said that no man who had sailed on her husbands ship was ever swallowed by a whale.However, this has not stopped James Bartleys story from being repeated, and many people today still believe that it is true.21.

A group of young people got together to discuss this question. Heres part of their discussion.PETER: Id like to stay healthy, but to be honest, I only eat food that tastes good. And if food tastes good, its usually bad for you, isnt it? Cola tastes better than water, for example.TONY: Well, food that is bad for you can taste good! But I prefer not to eat much food that is fried, like, er, French fries. Do you eat fast food, Laura?LAURA: Do I eat fast food? Never! I love to eat food that is healthy. I want to take care of my health, so I eat mainly fruit and vegetables. Oh! And I stay away from sugar, you do too, dont you?TONY: Hm, yes. And I think most people are in agreement that fruit and vegetables are good for health. But, um, I would say that fast food itself isnt always bad for you, but too much of it is not good.LAURA: Actually, did you know that its been found in laboratory testing that some types of oil are really bad for us? So I dont eat anything thats been cooked in oil. Also, did you know that some foods might cause cancer? Like burnt barbecued meat. Ive heard eating burnt food like this can increase (增加) the risk of cancer.PETER: Really! But I love to eat meat thats well cooked, even if it is a littl
