第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
May Day, the first day of May, is celebrated as a spring festival in many countries. It marks the
approach of summer.
The English developed their May Day festivals from the Roman festival called Floralia. In the festival
of Floralia, the Romans gathered flowers to honor the goddess of spring. Flora. In the Middle Ages, May
Day became the favorite holiday of many English villages. People gathered flowers to decorate their homes and churches, sang spring songs and chose a king and a queen of May. Villagers danced around a tall pole fixed upright in the ground, called a maypole, each holding the end of a ribbon attached to the top of the pole. They tied the ribbons around the pole until it was covered with bright colors. They collected dew (露水) on May Day morning and washed their faces with it because they believed that the dew on the day had the magic power to regain youth.
Nowadays in Britain people no longer attach great importance to the day, but in some towns and
villages people still celebrate it by choosing the May Queen and dancing around the maypole. May Queen is a girl selected as being the most beautiful on May Day. She is usually crowned with flowers and often driven in procession through the street. In the United States, the day has never been celebrated with the same enthusiasm as in Britain.
But in many American towns and cities, children celebrate the day with dancing and singing. They
often gather flowers in handmade paper baskets and hang them on the doorknobs of homes of friends' and neighbors' on May Day morning. At May Day parties, children select May Queens, dance around the maypole, and sing May Day songs.
21. What do we know about the May Day in Britain in the Middle Ages? A. People wore bright colours.
B. People celebrated it with enthusiasm.
C. People presented flowers to the goddess of spring. D. People stayed at home instead of going to churches. 22. Why did people wash their faces with dew on May Day? A. To bring good luck. C. To get magic power.
B. To become prettier. D. To get young again.
23. Paragraph 3 is mainly developed______. A. by comparison
B. by space
C. by process B
Halloween is a holiday full of tricks and treats and all things frightening and fun. But what happens when you trade your sweets for a scare? The result is always healthier than candy.
D. by classification
Being frightened can be good for you. Think about your favorite scary books or movies. You are scared but you just can’t resist reading or watching them. Being frightened makes your brain flood with healthy chemical substances that excite your mood and release feelings of great excitement.
When you’re frightened, your body also produces a chemical called oxytocin, which helps people bond with one another. So, if you’re at a haunted(闹鬼的) house with some pals, that experience can help solidify your friendship. “Watch people walking out of a haunted house, and you’ll see lots of smiles and high fives,” says Dr. Margee Kerr, a sociologist who studies fear.
There is also some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations. Things like giving a presentation in front of your class or performing in a school play can make us fearful and anxious. But these experiences help build a sort of endurance to fear that makes us more confident. “You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you’re better able to work through it during tense situations,” Kerr explains.
Though some haunting may be healthy, it’s important to remember that people experience fear in different ways. What may be fun for one person could be too scary for another. And Kerr notes that kids younger than six and or seven can’t separate real and make-believe, so seeing something frightening could have lasting, negative effects.
24. Why does the author mention “Halloween” in Paragraph 1? A. To make a suggestion. C. To offer an instruction.
B. To introduce a topic. D. To present a report.
25. What does the underlined words “high fives” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Putting hands up to give in.
B. Waving hands to say goodbye.
D. Folding palms together to express thanks.
C. Hitting palms together to show happiness. 26. How is the text developed? A. By analyzing reasons.
B. By providing statistics. D. By giving examples.
C. By making comparisons. 27. What can we learn from the text?
A. We’ll feel worried if we’re scared. C. Fearfulness controls our confidence.
B. Being frightened helps people stay closer. D. Being scared can be good for everyone.
