APeople in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother .A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents .It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery（公墓）. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These a re days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is im portant, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries and telephone companies do a lot of business during these holidays.16. Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A. Parents bring up children.B. Parents give love and care to children.C. Parents educate children to be good persons.D. Parents pass away before children grow up.17. What do you know from the passage?A. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.C. Not all the children respect their parents.D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.18. Which do you think is right about “carnation”?A. It only has two kinds of color.B. It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.C. It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.BThe purpose of keeping fit is to avoid illness, avoid the mental and physical fatigue（疲劳）, and above all to feel more pleasure in being alive. Research has shown the value of a balanced diet, fresh air, sunshine, enough rest and some forms of regular exercise for everyone. If everyone followed this plan, the number of people visiting the doctor and going to hospital would be reduced.Unfortunately, although most people acknowledge the importance of physical fitness, not enough of us put this into practice. We spend too much time watching others from the comfort of an armchair or a seat in the stand at a sports stadium.One reason why people who are physically fit to live longer is that they do not put the heart under excessive strain（过度劳累）and so they reduce the risk of heart and blood vessel（血管）diseases. They also avoid suffering weakened muscles, which are the cause of a great deal of trouble.All in all, sensible exercise, suited to each person and properly undertaken on the advice of a doctor, is the best insurance of meeting these requirements.19. Why do people want to keep fit?A. Because they want to avoid health.B. Because they want to add mental and physical fatigue.C. Because they want to feel happier and live longer.D. Because they want to obtain much more money.20. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Everyone knows the importance of this plan.B. Not all people do what the plan tells them to do.C. Most people put the plan into practice.D. No one wants to do with this plan.21. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Balanced diet is the most important.B. People who are physically fit live longer.C. Most people can live longer.D. People always do not put the heart under excessive strain.CThroughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they’ll change America. Rightly so. But selfishly, I’m more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world’s attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African woman they so rarely see.Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The widespread theory seems to be that we’re all hot-tempered single mothers who can’t keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can’t escape the stereotype (模式化的形象) of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic mothers.These images have helped define the way all black women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simply to be herself.It won’t be easy. Because few mainstream publications (出版物) have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all.Just as she will have her critics, she will have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what they’d like to see Michelle bring to the White House — mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone —an impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise (沉着), confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that’s been around far too long.22. Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author?A. She serves as a role model for African-American women.B. She possesses many admirable qualities becoming a First Lady.C. She will present to the world a new image of African-American women.D. She will pay close attention to the interests of African-American women.23. What is the common stereotype of African-American women according to the author?A. They are victims of family violence.B. They are of an inferior social group.C. They use quite a lot of body language.D. They live on charity and social welfare.24. What do many African-Americans write about in their blogs?A. Whether Michelle can live up to the high expectations of her fans.B. How Michelle should behave as public figure.C. How proud they are to have a black woman in the White House.D. What Michelle should do as wife and mother in the White House.25. What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady?A. However many fans she has, she should remain modest.B. She shouldn’t disappoint the African-American community.C. However hard she tries, she can’t expect to please everybody.D. She will concern herself with African-American women’s welfare.第二节下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句（第26～30 题）。
