It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents，but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected, he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by giving them small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”.Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA.Sweetest Day is not based on any single group's religious beliefs or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way.21Which of the following has little relationship to Sweetest Day?AVisiting sick people of the hospital.BVisiting children who have lost their parents.CGiving friends small gifts.DGiving flowers to sweethearts.22What do most people usually do to show their care to others according to the passage?AThey give money. BThey give gifts. CThey send regards. DThey offer help.23The underlined word “neglected” in the second paragraph means “_”Aremembered Bhated Cpaid little or no attention to DdisappointedBGood health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel (燃料)”. Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein, like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruit are very important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight.Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don't get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality (性格，个性). Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles, and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your lifespan (寿命). Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shape: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.If everybody were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.24According to the passage, _Awe should always keep fitBif we were healthy, we could spend our days in doing things with less sleepCone can eat a lot to stay in good shapeDone needn't take any exercise if he is healthy25In order to keep good health, _Awe should eat a lot of sweetsBone needs a large amount of fatCpeople should eat according to the foods' nutritionDwe must try to sleep now and then26Eating more and sleeping less _Acan make you keep healthy Bis no good for youCgets you more energy Dwill keep your personality27According to the passage, the benefits of proper exercise are as follows EXCEPT that _Aexercise can help build up the body Bexercise may make you live longerCexercise may help cure heart diseases Dexercise can bring happiness to peopleCBooks That Shaped AmericaHuckleberry FinnNovelist Ernest Hemingway famously said, “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn .All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good ever since.” During their trip down the Mississippi on a raft, Twain describes in a satirical (嘲讽的) and humorous way Huck and Jim's encounters with hypocrisy, racism, violence and other evils of American society. His use in serious literature of a lively and simple American language full of dialect and informal spoken expressions paved the way for many later writers, including Hemingway and William Faulkner.Gone with the WindThe most popular romance novel of all time was the basis for the most popular movie of all time (in today's dollars). Margaret Mitchell's book, Gone with the Wind, set in the South during the Civil War, won both the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award, and it remains popular, despite charges that its author had a blind eye regarding the horrors of slavery.Leaves of GrassThe publication of the first slim edition of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass in 1855 was the first appearance of a masterpiece that shifted the course of American literary history. Refreshing and bold in both theme and style, the book experienced many revisions during Whitman's lifetime. Over almost 40 years Whitman produced multiple editions of Leaves of Grass, shaping the book into an evertransforming kaleidoscope (千变万化) of poems. By his death in 1892, Leaves of Grass was a thick summary that represented Whitman's view of America over nearly the entire last half of the 19th century. Among the collection's bestknown poems are I Sing the Body Electric, Song of Myself, and O Captain! My Captain! in praise of Abraham Lincoln.The American Woman's HomeThis classic domestic guide, The American Woman's Home, by sisters Catharine E. Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe, is dedicated to “the women of America, in whose hands rest the real fates of the Republic.” It includes chapters on healthful cookery, home decoration, exercise, cleanliness, good air ventilation (通风设备) and heat, etiquette, sewing, gardening and care of children, the sick, the aged and domestic animals. Intended to elevate the “woman's sphere” of household management to a respectable profession based on scientific principles, it became the standard domestic handbook.28Which of the following best describes Ernest Hemingway's feelings for Mark Twain's book?AWonderful. BDisappointing. CPainful. DConfusing.29What can we learn from Walt Whitman's poems?AHe used many informal oral English in Leaves of Grass.BMany poems were added to Leaves of Grass after 1855.CHe showed little respect for Abraham Lincoln in his poems.DThe poems reflected Walt Whitman's bad opinions of America.30In which book can one learn how to live a healthy life?AHuckleberry Finn. BGone with the Wind. CLeaves of Grass.DThe American Woman's Home.31What does the underlined word “dedicated” probably mean?ADevoted. BAddicted. COpposed. DSentenced.DAudrey Hepburn (奥黛丽·赫本) won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey's father was British and her mother was Dutch. Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War ， she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college. But when she returned to London after the war she realized she wasn't going to be a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员). So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.But it was Audrey Hepburn's move to America in the 1950s that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name and received great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her roles, the most popular one was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.She was married twice and had one child with each husband. In 1989, the UN Children's Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF (联合国儿童基金会) projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World War. She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.32The reason why Audrey lived and studied in the Netherlands was that _.Ashe wanted to be a ballerina Bher parents were from BritainCit was safe there Dthe education there was excellent33We can know from the passage that _.AAudrey's parents lived in Germany during World War BAudrey went to America in the 1950sCAudrey was made to give up dancingDthe character “Gigi” in the Broadway play was her most popular role34Which is NOT mentioned in the passage about Audrey Hepburn?AMarriage.
