Ⅲ阅读（共两节，满分50分）

第一节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

People in the United States honor their parents with 2 special days: Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May and Father’s Day on the 3rd Sunday in June. These days are 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 and more fathers must help with childcare.

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’s also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery (grave). On these days families get together at home as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecue for Father’s Day. These are 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 more valued than those bought in stores. It’s not the value of the gift that is important, but “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakers, phone companies and other stores do lots of business during these holidays.

41. 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.

42. What do you know from the passage?

A. Both festivals are 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.

43. Which do you know about “carnation”?

A. It only has two kinds of color.

B. It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother’s Day.

C. It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.

D. People can wear them only on the second Sunday in May.

44. On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day ___________.

A. people sometimes have family parties

B. everyone goes to the cemetery

C. children always go to parents’ home

D. hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts.

45. What do you think “florists” do?

A. They sell flowers.

B. They make bread or pastry.

C. They offer enough room for having family parties.

D. They sell special clothes for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

B

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.

Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.

There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives. There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports. The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

46. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?

Those who often take exercise. B. Those who often watch television

C. Those who often have meals at home. D. Those who often walk to school.

47. The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because _______.

their parents often cook meals for them.

they are too busy to go out and play.

C. they can't choose what to eat.

D. there are too many fast food shops around.

48. The underlined word "steering" in the last sentence most probably means ____..

forcing B. guiding C. driving D. moving

49. According to the author, which of the following is WRONG?

A. We should encourage children to be more active.

B. Children ought to keep away from fast food shops.

C. Parents needn't cook meals for their children.

D. Parents should help their children form a good eating habit.

50. The main purpose of the text is to _______.

A. tell a story B. provide facts C. give advice D. compare opinions

C

Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one canno
