You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.15 While popular in the U. S. , the April Fools Day tradition is even more prevalent in European countries, su

10、ch as France and Great Britain. Although the roots of the traditional tricking are unclear, the French and the British both have claims on the origin of the celebration.One theory holds that the first April Fools Day was on April 1 of the year when King of France instituted the new calendar. This ne

11、w system placed the day that had formerly been the first day of a new year on April 1. Many people were reluctant to adjust to the new calendar and continued to celebrate New Years Day on what had become the first day of April. Thus, they became the first April Fools.An English story about the day,

12、however, holds that it began sometime during the 1200s. At the time, King John of England was in the habit of making a road out of nearly every path he walked regularly. The citizens of one particular farm village were aware of this. To avoid having their green meadows and pastures disturbed with on

13、e of the kings roads, they built a fence that prevented the king from walking through their countryside. The king sent a group of messengers to inform that they must remove the barrier. Upon hearing that the King was planning to do this, however, the villagers developed a plan of their own. When the

14、 messengers arrived, they found what appeared to be a community of lunatics, with people behaving in a bizarre manner, throwing things and running around wildly. The messengers, alarmed at what they had found, reported to King John that these people were so mad as to be beyond punishment. So, the vi

15、llagers saved their farmland by tricking the King. In Great Britain, tradition only allows April Fools tricks from midnight to noon on April 1. Those who try to play tricks in the afternoon become the fools themselves.16 The word “prevalent“ in the first sentence is nearest in meaning to “_“.（A）unus

16、ual（B） traditional（C） prevailing（D）prosperous17 As indicated in the passage, the first French April Fools were_.（A）people who supported the new calendar（B） people who opposed the new calendar（C） King of France（D）all the people in France18 In the French story, some people were regarded as the first A

19、ten walked on their farmland（D）to prevent their king from turning their farmland into roads20 On the first day of school one of my classmates began a talk with me that changed my life. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. Im eighty-seven years old. “Why are you in college at such an age?“ I ask

20、ed.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now Im getting one!“ she told me.After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet and Ill never forget wha

21、t she taught us. She cleared her throat and began:“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success.You have to laugh and find humor each and every day.Youve got to have a dream. When you l

22、ose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and they dont even know it!There is a giant difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and dont do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. I

23、f I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesnt take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.Have no regrets. The elderly usually dont have regrets for what

24、we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets. “She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Rose. “ She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.At the years end, Rose finished the college degree she

29、moving story about Rose（B） discuss what to do to grow up（C） instruct the readers how to live meaningful lives（D）teach the readers how to realize their dreams25 People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten. If you lived in the Mediterranean, for ins

30、tance, you would consider octopus a great delicacy. You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive. On the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fatthe normally accepted practice in many northern countries. The sad truth is that most of u

31、s have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail. Cooked in wine, snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world. There are countless people who, ever since their early years, have lear

32、ned to associate snails with food. My friend, Robert, lives in a country where snails are despised. As his flat is in a large town, he has no garden of his own. For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him. The idea never appealed to me very much, but one day

33、, after a heavy shower, I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails taking a stroll on some of my prize plants. Acting on a sudden impulse, I collected several dozen, put them in a paper bag, and took them to Robert. Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased

34、 with my little gift. I left the bag in the hall and Robert and I went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hours. I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay for dinner. Snails would, of course, be the main dish. I did not fancy the idea and I rel

35、uctantly followed Robert out of the room. To my surprise, we saw that there were snails everywhere: they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall! I have never been able to look at a snail since then.26 The word “repulsive“ in Para. 1 most probably means “_“.（A）di

36、sgusting（B） pleasant（C） acceptable（D）delicious27 We can infer from the second paragraph that when collecting the snails, the author _.（A）was glad that he could share them with his friend（B） was angry because they might damage his beloved plants（C） was excited about being able to give his friend a su

37、rprise（D）was depressed because it was hard to extinguish them all28 The author finds that snails_.（A）are as delicious as octopus（B） are disliked in his hometown（C） are the most controversial food（D）are as popular as fried potatoes29 The best title of this passage might be_.（A）One Mans Meat is Anothe

39、s of delicacy（D）they are too illogical30 The quality of patience goes a long way toward your goal of creating a more peaceful and loving self. The more patient you are, the more accepting you will be of what life is, rather than insisting that life be exactly as you would like it to be. Without pati

40、ence, life is extremely frustrating. You are easily annoyed, bothered, and irritated. Patience adds a dimension of ease and acceptance to your life. Its essential for inner peace. Becoming more patient involves opening your heart to the present moment, even if you dont like it. If you are stuck in a

41、 traffic jam, late for an appointment, being patient would mean keeping yourself from building a mental snowball before your thinking get out of control and gently reminding yourself to relax. It might also be a good time to breathe as well as an opportunity to remind yourself that, in the bigger sc

42、heme, being late is “small stuff“.Patience is a quality of heart that can be greatly enhanced with deliberate practice. An effective way that I have found to deepen my own patience is to create actual practice periodsperiods of time that I set up in my mind to practice the art of patience. Life itse

43、lf becomesa classroom, and the curriculum is patience. You can start with as little as five minutes and build up your capacity for patience over time. What youll discover is truly amazing.

44、apacity for patience. Patience is one of those special qualities where success feeds on itself.

45、me a patient person.Being patient will help you to keep your perspective.
