A few years ag, we celebrated Frankenstein’s 200th birthday. This famus bk, written by British nvelist Mary Shelley(1797-1851), is rightly knwn as the first wrk f science fictin. Frankenstein is the name f a dctr wh creates a creature frm human bdy parts. The dctr’s ambitins fr his wrk are nble, but his experiment has disastrus results.
Shelley was writing in an age when science was beginning t have a great impact n the wrld. Peple had different attitudes tward science then. Sme fund it inspiring—they thught f the prgress medicine was making in curing cmmn illnesses. But thers fund it a little frightening—it was changing life, making it a lt less familiar.
Science plays a bigger part in ur lives than it did tw centuries ag. Tday, science has brught us great things like the Internet, but als nuclear weapns, which, if used in large numbers, culd kill ff ur species. Science still therefre creates the mixed feelings it did in Shelley’s day. It’s because Shelley saw bth the prmise and the danger f science that she’s still an influence tday.
In fact, her subtitle f the bk, The Mdern Prmetheus (普罗米修斯), shws hw imprtant myth (神话) was t the writer. Prmetheus, a figure frm classical Creek mythlgy, written by ancient Creek playwright Sphcles, steals fire frm the gds and gives it t peple, an act fr which he is terribly punished.
Shelley’s husband, the famus pet Percy Shelley, wrte abut him in Prmetheus Unbund. In the pem, he is a revlutinary her, wh triumphs ver the gds. In Mary Shelley’s bk, hwever, her mdern Prmetheus, Dr Frankenstein, is a highly cntrversial figure, wh sacrifices his hme and life fr his crazy addictin t his creatin.
In shrt, Mary Shelley’s bk is nt just a scary and mving stry, but a philsphical tale that, even after 200 years, still speaks t mdern readers.
4. What can we knw abut Dr Frankenstein and the creature he made?
A. He created it with animal parts.B. He managed t kill it in the end.
C. He created it with gd intentins.D. He was aware f its dangers befre its creatin.
5. Cmpared with Prmetheus in Greek mythlgy, Dr Frankenstein .

C. suffers little fr what he desD. leads t a lt f cntrversy
6. Why d tday’s readers still relate t Mary Shelley?
A. Her wrk discusses what it means t be human.
B. Her wrk warns peple f the tw sides f science.
C. Her wrk explains that any life deserves ur respect.
D. Her wrk prves the imprtant rle f science in life.

Wh first prpsed the hliday fr wrkers? It’s nt entirely clear, but tw wrkers can make a slid claim t the Funder f Labr Day title.
Sme recrds shw that in 1882, Peter J. McGuire, general secretary f the Brtherhd f Carpenters and Jiners and a c-funder f the American Federatin f Labr, suggested setting aside a day fr a “general hliday fr the labring classes”. But many believe that machinist Matthew Maguire, nt Peter McGuire, funded the hliday.
The first Labr Day hliday was celebrated n Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New Yrk City, in accrdance with the plans f the Central Labr Unin. The Central Labr Unin held its secnd Labr Day hliday just a year later, n September 5, 1883. By 1894, 23 mre states had adpted the hliday, and n June 28, 1894, President Grver Cleveland signed a law making the first Mnday in September f each year a natinal hliday.
Many Americans celebrate Labr Day with parades (游行), picnics and parties — festivities very similar t thse utlined by the first prpsal fr a hliday, which suggested that the day shuld be bserved with a street parade t exhibit “the strength and spirits f the trade and labr rganizatins” f the cmmunity, fllwed by a festival fr the recreatin and amusement f the wrkers and their families. This became the pattern fr the celebratins f Labr Day.
Speeches by imprtant fficial men and wmen were intrduced later, as mre emphasis was placed upn the ecnmic and civil significance f the hliday. Still later, by a reslutin f the American Federatin f Labr cnventin f 1909,the Sunday befre Labr Day was adpted as Labr Sunday and dedicated t (致力于) the spiritual and educatinal aspects f the labr mvement.
American labr has raised the natin’s standard f living and cntributed t the greatest prductin the wrld has ever knwn and the labr mvement has brught us clser t the realizatin f ur traditinal ideals f ecnmic and plitical demcracy.
8. What can we knw frm paragraph 2?
A. Peple’s views abut the funder f Labr Day vary.
B The authr cnsidered Matthew Maguire the funder.
C. Peter J. McGuire wanted t set a few days fr a hliday.
D. Labr Day was riginally set up fr American machinists.
9. What des paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A. The real meaning f Labr DayB. The develpment f Labr Day
C. The reasn f setting Labr DayD. Peple’s emphasis n Labr Day
10. What des the underlined wrd “festivities” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. MannersB. ApprachesC. RewardsD. Celebratins
11. Which f the fllwing des the authr agree with?
A. It is knwn that America develps very fast.
B. The riginal meaning f Labr Day changes
C. It is wrthwhile t set a day fr the labrer
D. The labr mvement makes the life unsteady

I sat at the breakfast table with my fur-year-ld sn, Matthew, trying t ignre the ache in my stmach. “Mama, want t play?” “Nt tday, baby.” I shk my head. These days I culd barely get ut f bed. I was still recvering frm an peratin. I hped fr strength and happiness, but the future seemed s hpeless.
Suddenly, Matthew jumped up frm his spt n the kitchen flr. “Bird!” he shuted, rushing t ur curtyard. Sure enugh, there was a white dve seated in a rubber tree (橡胶树). It sat there fr a few mments, and then flew away. Strange, I’d never seen ne in ur neighbrhd befre.
When I dragged myself t the kitchen the next mrning, the dve was back. This time it was with a mate carrying sticks. “Lk Matthew,” I said, pinting t the tree. “They’re ging t make a nest.” The dves flew in and ut f the curtyard all week, building n tp f the rubber tree.
Matthew culd hardly cntain his excitement. Every mrning, he’d run int the kitchen and take his spt by the sliding glass dr (滑动玻璃门), talking t the birds while they wrked. His happiness was influential. As much as I was sad, I culdn’t help but lk frward t the dves’ visits t.
Then it all went wrng. The curtyard was a safe enugh spt fr a nest, but the rubber tree’s brad, thin leaves were far frm stable. One night, a strng wind blew, thrwing the dves’ nest t the grund. I heard the twigs (细枝) break apart.
I surveyed the damage. Nthing gd ever lasted. I wuldn’t blame the dves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid n attentin t the pile f sticks that had nce been their nest. They started again frm the beginning. Again, thugh, the wind destryed all their hard wrk. The next day, and the next, they started again, as if nthing had happened.

A few years ag, we celebrated Frankenstein’s 200th birthday. This famus bk, written by British nvelist Mary Shelley(1797-1851), is rightly knwn as the first wrk f science fictin. Frankenstein is the name f a dctr wh creates a creature frm human bdy parts. The dctr’s ambitins fr his wrk are nble, but his experiment has disastrus results.
Shelley was writing in an age when science was beginning t have a great impact n the wrld. Peple had different attitudes tward science then. Sme fund it inspiring—they thught f the prgress medicine was making in curing cmmn illnesses. But thers fund it a little frightening—it was changing life, making it a lt less familiar.
Science plays a bigger part in ur lives than it did tw centuries ag. Tday, science has brught us great things like the Internet, but als nuclear weapns, which, if used in large numbers, culd kill ff ur species. Science still therefre creates the mixed feelings it did in Shelley’s day. It’s because Shelley saw bth the prmise and the danger f science that she’s still an influence tday.
In fact, her subtitle f the bk, The Mdern Prmetheus (普罗米修斯), shws hw imprtant myth (神话) was t the writer. Prmetheus, a figure frm classical Creek mythlgy, written by ancient Creek playwright Sphcles, steals fire frm the gds and gives it t peple, an act fr which he is terribly punished.

In Mary Shelley’s bk, hwever, her mdern Prmetheus, Dr Frankenstein, is a highly cntrversial figure, wh sacrifices his hme and life fr his crazy addictin t his creatin.
In shrt, Mary Shelley’s bk is nt just a scary and mving stry, but a philsphical tale that, even after 200 years, still speaks t mdern readers.

Wh first prpsed the hliday fr wrkers? It’s nt entirely clear, but tw wrkers can make a slid claim t the Funder f Labr Day title.
Sme recrds shw that in 1882, Peter J. McGuire, general secretary f the Brtherhd f Carpenters and Jiners and a c-funder f the American Federatin f Labr, suggested setting aside a day fr a “general hliday fr the labring classes”. But many believe that machinist Matthew Maguire, nt Peter McGuire, funded the hliday.
The first Labr Day hliday was celebrated n Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New Yrk City, in accrdance with the plans f the Central Labr Unin. The Central Labr Unin held its secnd Labr Day hliday just a year later, n September 5, 1883. By 1894, 23 mre states had adpted the hliday, and n June 28, 1894, President Grver Cleveland signed a law making the first Mnday in September f each year a natinal hliday.
Many Americans celebrate Labr Day with parades (游行), picnics and parties — festivities very similar t thse utlined by the first prpsal fr a hliday, which suggested that the day shuld be bserved with a street parade t exhibit “the strength and spirits f the trade and labr rganizatins” f the cmmunity, fllwed by a festival fr the recreatin and amusement f the wrkers and their families. This became the pattern fr the celebratins f Labr Day.
Speeches by imprtant fficial men and wmen were intrduced later, as mre emphasis was placed upn the ecnmic and civil significance f the hliday. Still later, by a reslutin f the American Federatin f Labr cnventin f 1909,the Sunday befre Labr Day was adpted as Labr Sunday and dedicated t (致力于) the spiritual and educatinal aspects f the labr mvement.
American labr has raised the natin’s standard f living and cntributed t the greatest prductin the wrld has ever knwn and the labr mvement has brught us clser t the realizatin f ur traditinal ideals f ecnmic and plitical demcracy.
8. What can we knw frm paragraph 2?
A. Peple’s views abut the funder f Labr Day vary.
B. The authr cnsidered Matthew Maguire the funder.
C. Peter J. McGuire wanted t set a few days fr a hliday.
D. Labr Day was riginally set up fr American machinists.
9. What des paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A. The real meaning f Labr DayB. The develpment f Labr Day
C. The reasn f setting Labr DayD. Peple’s emphasis n Labr Day
10. What des the underlined wrd “festivities” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. MannersB. ApprachesC. RewardsD. Celebratins
11. Which f the fllwing des the authr agree with?
A. It is knwn that America develps very fast.
B. The riginal meaning f Labr Day changes
C. It is wrthwhile t set a day fr the labrer
D. The labr mvement makes the life unsteady
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。全文介绍了美国劳动节的由来，以及劳动节的巨大意义。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“Sme recrds shw that in 1882, Peter J. McGuire, general secretary f the Brtherhd f Carpenters and Jiners and a c-funder f the American Federatin f Labr, suggested setting aside a day fr a “general hliday fr the labring classes”. But many believe that machinist Matthew Maguire, nt Peter McGuire, funded the hliday.(一些记录显示，1882年，木匠和木匠兄弟会的秘书长、美国劳工联合会的联合创始人Peter J. McGuire建议为“劳动阶级的公共假日”留出一天。但许多人认为机械师马修·马奎尔，而不是彼得·麦奎尔，创立了这个节日。)”可知，人们对于谁建立了劳动节说法不一。故选A。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第三段“The first Labr Day hliday was celebrated n Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New Yrk City, in accrdance with the plans f the Central Labr Unin. The Central Labr Unin held its secnd Labr Day hliday just a year later, n September 5, 1883. By 1894, 23 mre states had adpted the hliday, and n June 28, 1894, President Grver Cleveland signed a law making the first Mnday in September f each year a natinal hliday.(根据中央工会的计划，第一个劳动节假期于1882年9月5日星期二在纽约市庆祝。中央工会在一年后的1883年9月5日举行了第二次劳动节假期。到1894年，又有23个州采纳了这一节日。1894年6月28日，格罗弗·克利夫兰总统签署了一项法律，将每年9月的第一个星期一定为全国性节日。)”可知，第三段从第一次建立劳动节开始，一直讲述到1894年官方确立劳动节，因此全段讲述了劳动节的发展历程。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第四段中“Many Americans celebrate Labr Day with parades (游行), picnics and parties (许多美国人以游行、野餐和聚会的方式来庆祝劳动节)”可知，破折号后的festivities是对此的进一步解释，故其在这里是“庆祝活动”的意思。A. Manners方式；B. Appraches方法；C. Rewards奖励；D. Celebratins庆典。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后两段“Speeches by imprtant fficial men and wmen were intrduced later, as mre emphasis was placed upn the ecnmic and civil significance f the hliday. Still later, by a reslutin f the American Federatin f Labr cnventin f 1909,the Sunday befre Labr Day was adpted as Labr Sunday and dedicated t (致力于) the spiritual and educatinal aspects f the labr mvement. American labr has raised the natin’s standard f living and cntributed t the greatest prductin the wrld has ever knwn and the labr mvement has brught us clser t the realizatin f ur traditinal ideals f ecnmic and plitical demcracy.(由于人们更加强调这个节日的经济和民间意义，后来又有重要的官员男女发表讲话。再后来，根据1909年美国劳工联合会会议的一项决议，劳动节之前的星期天被定为劳动星期日，并致力于劳工运动的精神和教育方面。美国劳工提高了国家的生活水平，为世界上最伟大的生产做出了贡献，工人运动使我们更接近实现我们传统的经济和政治民主理想。)”可知，最后两段讲述人们对劳动节的重视程度日益加深，劳动者在提高人们生活水平方面起到了重要作用，因此可以推断，作者在最后两段强调为劳动者建立节日是非常值得的。故C选项正确，其余选项并未提及。故选C。

上文“Sleep is very imprtant fr prtecting and maintaining peple's nrmal activities. It can supplement the energy f yur bdy, enhance yur resistance, prmte the nrmal grwth and develpment f yur bdy.(睡眠对于保护和维持人们的正常活动非常重要。它可以补充你身体的能量，增强你的抵抗力，促进你身体的正常生长和发育。)讲述了睡眠对身体健康的重要性，由下文的“The first step is t switch yur pillw.( 第一步是换个枕头)”“Chsing the right pillw is anther chice.( 选择合适的枕头是另一个选择。)”等可知，下文讲述如何获得一个好的睡眠，空格处承上启下，因此推断F项“但是你怎样才能得到你身体需要的和值得的睡眠呢？”符合语境。故选F。
【17题详解】
上文“The pr pillw deserves a rest if yu're cnstantly beating it, turning it ver and upside dwn.( 如果你不停地捶打枕头，把它翻个底朝天，可怜的枕头就该休息一下了。)”讲述换掉枕头，A项“你应该去衣柜里找个新枕头”符合语境。“a new pillw”呼应上文的“he pr pillw deserves a rest”。故选A。
【18题详解】
下文“And it shuld prvide neck supprt. A pillw with tw supprting cres received the best rating frm the 55 peple wh participated in the study.(它应该提供颈部支撑。在参与这项研究的55名参与者中，带有两个支撑芯的枕头得到了最好的评价。)”讲述理想的枕头应该有很好的支撑，C项“理想的颈枕应该是柔软的，不能太高”符合语境和下文“它应该提供颈部支撑”是并列关系。讲述理想的枕头的标准。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Even the barely nticeable light frm streetlights, a full mn r yur neighbr's huse can interfere with the circadian rhythm changes yu need t fall asleep. S it is necessary t blck ut sme light with prper fabrics.(即使是街灯、满月或邻居家几乎不明显的光线，也会干扰你入睡时需要的昼夜节律变化。所以有必要用适当的织物来阻挡一些光线。)”可知，下文谈论的是阻挡一些光线有助于睡眠，故G项“你最好换一套更厚的窗帘来挂在窗户上”为该段的主旨句。引出下文的解释。故选G。
【20题详解】
上文“Besides, cleaning yur bedrm and painting it cmfrting green are helpful. The mre mess, the mre distractins in the way f a gd night's sleep. Instead, the smth and clean surfaces act as a cmfrt t yur brain, helping t smth ut yur wn wrries and mental t-d lists.(此外，打扫你的卧室，把它涂成舒适的绿色也很有帮助。越混乱，越容易分心不好入睡。相反，光滑干净的表面对你的大脑是一种安慰，帮助你消除你的担忧和心理上的待办事项清单。)”说明舒适的绿色，光滑干净的表面有利于入睡，下文“It can relax yu as yu lie in bed reading r preparing fr sleep.(当你躺在床上阅读或准备睡觉时，它可以让你放松下来。)”说明空格处提到的事物可以让你放松，故D项“舒适的颜色提供了睡眠的视觉暗示”承上启下，符合本段对颜色的讲述，下文的it指代上文提到的“The cmfrting clr”。故选D。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I sat at the breakfast table with my fur-year-ld sn, Matthew, trying t ignre the ache in my stmach. “Mama, want t play?” “Nt tday, baby.” I shk my head. These days I culd barely get ut f bed. I was still recvering frm an peratin. I hped fr strength and happiness, but the future seemed s hpeless.
Suddenly, Matthew jumped up frm his spt n the kitchen flr. “Bird!” he shuted, rushing t ur curtyard. Sure enugh, there was a white dve seated in a rubber tree (橡胶树). It sat there fr a few mments, and then flew away. Strange, I’d never seen ne in ur neighbrhd befre.
When I dragged myself t the kitchen the next mrning, the dve was back. This time it was with a mate carrying sticks. “Lk Matthew,” I said, pinting t the tree. “They’re ging t make a nest.” The dves flew in and ut f the curtyard all week, building n tp f the rubber tree.
Matthew culd hardly cntain his excitement. Every mrning, he’d run int the kitchen and take his spt by the sliding glass dr (滑动玻璃门), talking t the birds while they wrked. His happiness was influential. As much as I was sad, I culdn’t help but lk frward t the dves’ visits t.
Then it all went wrng. The curtyard was a safe enugh spt fr a nest, but the rubber tree’s brad, thin leaves were far frm stable. One night, a strng wind blew, thrwing the dves’ nest t the grund. I heard the twigs (细枝) break apart.
I surveyed the damage. Nthing gd ever lasted. I wuldn’t blame the dves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid n attentin t the pile f sticks that had nce been their nest. They started again frm the beginning. Again, thugh, the wind destryed all their hard wrk. The next day, and the next, they started again, as if nthing had happened.

Paragraph 2:
“It wrks! The birds are back!” Matthew annunced. Hearing my sn’s excited vice, which was as clear as a bell, I lked up. There they were-swping and circling near the nest, trying t add sme twigs t their new hme. A few weeks later, three babies brke free frm their shells. “Chirp, chirp,” Matthew sang. I held him in my arms and kissed him, enjying the happiness f the mment. Lking at their flittering shadws and hearing them chirp, I felt the dim grayness within my heart disappeared, replaced by the strength f life.
