四、阅读理解

As a little girl,one of my favourite family traditions was held on the first day of May.Along with my sister,my mother and I would make simple flower baskets by making paper into cones(圆锥形).Then,we filled the bottom of the cone with small candies before putting some flowers into it.

With our May Day baskets in hand,my sister and I became anonymous gift-givers.After hanging a basket on the front door of a neighbour or a friend,we rang the doorbell and ran away.The goal was to remain secret givers. 

Historically,the first day of May,often referred to as “May Day”,has been recognised as a celebration of spring,of life and growth.Parades(游行) and dances are ways that the day has been—and continues to be—celebrated in many parts of the world.Although formal May Day celebrations may be less common now,it is always worth celebrating.Here are some simple and lovely ways to celebrate May Day in our homes with those we love:

Making a May Day basket is always a great choice.Although the May Day basket we made as children was simple,the making of the basket was a joy in itself.Consider making or buying some flowers for friends.Fill the basket with a few sweets and write a note thanking your friend or neighbour for their kindness,their presence,and their love.

On May Day,we also take flowers to a local hospital or nursing home.Flowers are always welcome in places that are too often full of sadness.Stopping to have a conversation with a patient and thanking a nurse would be an additional gift—to the receiver and to us!

Besides,we always give friends small gifts to celebrate May Day.A small book or magazine with a note,a print celebrating spring—the choices are endless.When your friends are far away,an unexpected gift can reawaken friendship across the miles.

1.What does the underlined part “anonymous gift-givers” refer to?

A.People who are serious about gift-giving.

B.People who don’t know the value of gifts.

C.People who are careful about every small detail.

D.People who send gifts and don’t want their names to be known.

答案:D

解析:根据画线部分后的“Afterhangingabasket...werangthedoorbellandranaway.”和“secretgivers”可知,anonymousgift-givers的意思应该是“匿名的赠送礼物者”。

2.What do we know about May Day from the text?

A.It is celebrated all over the world.

B.The date of its celebration has changed.

C.It traditionally celebrates the arrival of spring.

D.There is an increase in formal May Day celebrations.

答案:C

解析:根据第三段首句“Historically,thefirstdayofMay,oftenreferredtoas ‘MayDay’,hasbeenrecognisedasacelebrationofspring,oflifeandgrowth.”可知,五朔节传统上是庆祝春天到来的节日。

3.In the author’s eyes,May Day is a great chance to 　　　. 

A.express thanks

B.visit faraway friends

C.read a book or magazine

D.stay with family members

答案:A

解析:根据第四段中的“...writeanotethankingyourfriendorneighbourfortheirkindness,theirpresence,andtheirlove.”和第五段中的“thankinganurse”可知,在作者看来,五朔节是一个很好的表达感谢的机会。

4.What is the text mainly about?

A.The history of May Day.

B.Great family traditions.

C.Celebrating May Day.

D.Flowers for festivals.

答案:C

解析:通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了庆祝五朔节的一些方式。
