25、. abolish N. parade O. practically Many countries have a holiday to celebrate workers rights on or around May 1, but Labour Day in Canada is celebrated on the first Monday of September. Canadas Labour Day was 【 C1】 _ celebrated in the spring but it was moved to the fall after 1894. The origins of La

26、bour Day can be traced back to April 15, 1872, when the Toronto Trades Assembly organized Canadas first significant 【 C2】 _ for workers rights. The aim was to release the 24 leaders of the Toronto Typographical Union who were imprisoned for 【 C3】 _ to campaign for a nine-hour working day. At this ti

27、me, trade unions were still illegal and what they did was seen as a criminal conspiracy to disrupt trade. 【 C4】 _ this, the Toronto Trades Assembly was already a significant organization and encouraged workers to form trade unions, 【 C5】_ in disputes between employers and employees and signaled the

28、【 C6】 _ of workers. There was 【 C7】 _ public support for the demonstration and the authorities could no longer deny the important 【 C8】 _ that the trade unions had to play in the 【 C9】 _ Canadian democratic society. A few months later, a similar demonstration was organized in Ottawa and passed the h

29、ouse of Canadas first prime minister, Sir John Macdonald. Later in the day, he appeared before the gathering and promised to 【 C10】 _ all Canadian laws against trade unions. This happened in the same year and eventually led to the founding of the Canadian Labour Congress in 1883. A similar holiday,

30、Labor Day is held on the same day in the United States of America. Canadian trade unions are proud that this holiday was inspired by their efforts to improve workers rights. 42 【 C1】 43 【 C2】 44 【 C3】 45 【 C4】 46 【 C5】 47 【 C6】 48 【 C7】 49 【 C8】 50 【 C9】 51 【 C10】 SECTION A In this section there are

31、 several passages followed by ten multiple-choice questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. 51 (1)Life moves on even in Tucson. The flowers and candles are being dismantled. The fresh golf courses are filled

32、 with winter visitors. The funerals that marked life here for two weeks are over. (2)But it will be a long time before this desert community puts behind it, if it ever does, what happened in an instant on a sunny Saturday morning in front of a supermarket. (3)On that day, at La Toscana Village strip

33、 mall, I peered past the police tape at the blood-smeared sidewalk and the covered bodies of the victims. I knew I had to focus and ask questions. I had to file a story. But I also had to stop for a minute to process my breaking heart. (4)Nineteen people, including a 9-year-old girl, a federal judge

34、 and a member of Congress, had just been gunned down in my home town. (5)In the past more than 25 years, I have seen the unspeakable many times. I wrote about the slaughter of 32 students inside their Virginia Tech classrooms. I reported on the random shootings of 13 people in the Washington area by

35、 two snipers (狙击手 ). I have covered countless murders of youths on the streets of the District. (6)But I never expected to see this kind of tragedy here in my safe haven. Tucson was where I hiked with my husband on the trails of Sabino Canyon, the desert oasis in Coronado National Forest, and where

36、I rode horses with my daughter near Saguaro National Monument, amid the cholla and ocotillo cactus. Here I breathed the clean desert air, especially intoxicating after a rain, filled with the fragrance of creosote and sage. Here I drove 15 minutes out of town to Gates Pass to watch the spectacular s

37、unsets and then marvel at the big, starry Arizona sky. This was my city, a blend of Native American and Mexican culture, where the sun shines more days a year than anywhere else in the country. (7)The world is filled with cities that are touched with senseless violence. And after the streets are swe

38、pt clean, life goes on. People go back to work and to play. On the surface, it appears as if nothing really changed. (8)But something has. Extreme acts of violence affect the psychological and social fabric of a community in subtle but important ways. The place where residents have felt safe doesnt

39、feel quite so safe anymore. Insecurity creeps in. Anxieties rise. (9)I was here on the morning of the shootings visiting my mother, who moved to Tucson with my father in the 1950s. A childhood friend called to tell us shed heard that Giffords had just been shot. I called The Post and then, on instin

40、ct, as if I were still on the D.C. crime beat, raced to the scene just two miles away. (10)In the days that followed, my home town was transformed into a national media spectacle, complete with a camera-ready headline: “Tragedy in Tucson.“ Famous television anchors flew in and set up with my beloved

41、 Santa Catalina Mountains as their backdrop. Reporting the story was strange. It felt uncomfortable calling old friends for help and reaching out to Giffordss rabbi, whom Id known since she was a teenager, to urge her to share her experience at the lawmakers bedside. (11)Growth and development had l

42、ong ago changed Tucson. At the end of roads where there was once only desert, there are expensive sprawling homes, luxury resorts and strip malls, like the one where Jared Loughner pulled out his Glock 19. Making my way around Tucson, a flood of childhood memories came back, but now superimposed on

43、them were images from the bloodbath. (12)So, too, it is with those who live here. Their lives go on, but in ways big and small the city they call home is not quite the same as it was before. 52 What did the author least expect? （ A） The large number of people killed. （ B） The death of the nine-year-

44、old girl. （ C） The fact that such shooting tragedies keep happening. （ D） The fact that the tragedy happened in his hometown. 53 By saying that “something has“ (Para, 8), the author means that _. （ A） his hometown has become dangerous （ B） peoples sense of security has declined subtly （ C） some chan

45、ges are apparent enough to observe （ D） the changes are too subtle to specify 54 What do we know about the Glock 19? （ A） It was the gun with which the killer shot 19 people. （ B） It was the strip mall where the killing took place. （ C） It was a park that the author often visited as a child. （ D） It

46、 was a brand-name product sold at strip malls. 54 (1)If youre like most people, youre way too smart for advertising. You flip right past newspaper ads, never click on ads online and leave the room during TV commercials. (2)That, at least, is what we tell ourselves. But what we tell ourselves is nons

47、ense. Advertising works, which is why, even in hard economic times, Madison Avenue is a $34 billion-a-year business. And if Martin Lindstrom author of the best seller Buyology and a marketing consultant for Fortune 500 companies, including PepsiCo and Disney is correct, trying to tune this stuff out

48、 is about to get a whole lot harder. (3)Lindstrom is a practitioner of neuromarketing research, in which consumers are exposed to ads while hooked up to machines that monitor brain activity, sweat responses and movement in facial muscles, all of which are markers of emotion. According to his studies

49、, 83% of all forms of advertising principally engage only one of our senses: sight Hearing, however, can be just as powerful, though advertisers have taken only limited advantage of it. Historically, ads have relied on jingles and slogans to catch our ear, largely ignoring everyday sounds a steak sizzling (咝咝声 ), a baby laughing and
