　　Ⅱ.单项填空

　　1．Michael put up a picture of Yao Ming beside the bed to keep himself ________ of his own dreams.

　　A．reminding

　　B．to remind

　　C．reminded

　　D．remind

　　答案　C　[考查非谓语动词。句意：Michael把姚明的图片张贴在床边是为了提醒自己要实现自己的梦想。remind sb of sth表示“提醒某人某事”，himself与remind之间是动宾关系， 故用动词的过去分词形式。 ]

　　2．Armed with the information you have gathered, you can ________ preparing your business plan.

　　A．set out

　　B．set about

　　C．set off

　　D．set up

　　答案　B　[考查动词短语辨析。句意：收集到的信息已备好，你可以开始准备你的商业计划了。根据句意可知，此处应用set about表示“着手做……”，其后用动名词形式。set out后接to do sth; set off表示“出发”；set up表示“建立”，均与句意不符，所以选B项。]

　　答案　C　[考查介词短语。句意：他是最后来的人，换句话说，他是最后一个。根据前后句意可知后面的句子是对前面句子的解释，故有“也就是说，换句话说”的意思。]

　　答案　D　[考查短语意义辨析。句意：——从奶奶那儿得知，当感冒的时候喝鸡汤是个好主意。——信不信由你，科学家也这样认为。 sooner or later “迟早”；once in a while “偶尔”；to be exact“确切地说”；believe it or not“信不信由你”。]

　　6．They were surprised that a child should work out the problem ________ they themselves couldn't.

　　A．once

　　B．then

　　C．while

　　D．if

　　答案　C　[考查连词。他们感到吃惊的是在他们不能解决这个问题时，然而孩子们却能解决。根据句子前后意思有“对比，转折”意思，故答案C合适。]

　　Ⅴ.阅读理解

　　You may know your mother，but how well do you really know Mother's Day？Cards，flowers，sales，TV specials，and a day off for someone who really deserves it－those are what probably come to mind for many people when they think of Mother's Day.But there's more to the story.

　　The earliest Mother's Day celebrations were held during spring in ancient Greece.The celebrations honored Rhea，the Mother of the gods.During the 1600's，England celebrated a day called Mothering Sunday.On this day even servants(仆人)were given the day off to spend with their families.A mothering cake was even served with the family meal.

　　In the US，Mother's Day began in 1872 when Julia Ward Howe，who wrote the words to the famous song The Battle Hymn of the Republic，suggested it as a day devoted to peace.But it didn't really become popular until 1907 when Anna Jarvis started a campaign to honor mothers.She believed that mothers could help people get over the pain they experienced during the Civil War.The US isn't alone in devoting a day to mothers.Many other countries including Denmark，Finland，Italy，Turkey，Australia，Japan，and Belgium also honor their mothers in May.Other countries honor their mothers at different times of the year.

　　Learning more about Mother's Day and celebrating Mother's Day are important，but probably not as important as understanding what your own mother，or grandmother，or aunt has really done for you.And that will certainly be appreciated more than one day in a year.
