　　Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday?

　　The history of Valentine's Day—and its patron saint(守護(hù)神)—is covered in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains signs of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.

　　So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become connected with this ancient tradition? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were dead . One legend describes that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius Ⅱ decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed (使……不受法律保護(hù)) marriage for young men—his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice(不公正)of the rule, fought against Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape cruel Roman prisons where they were often beaten, even killed.

　　According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first “Valentine” greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl—who may have been his jailor's daughter—who visited him during his imprisonment. Before his death, it is said that he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is gloomy, the stories certainly emphasize his appearance as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.

1．Why candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones every February?

[　　]

A．Mainly to show their love to their lovers.

B．Mainly to remember a person named Valentine.

C．Because they can't spend that day without these things.

D．Because February is a romantic month.

2．From this passage, why have people called that day Saint Valentine's Day?

[　　]

A．A priest called Valentine performed marriages for young lovers in secret.

B．A person called Valentine helped to save many Christians.

C．A person called Valentine wrote her lover a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine” .

D．It doesn't tell us exactly.

3．In the fourth paragraph, what's the meaning of the second “Valentine”?

[　　]

A．The person “Valentine”.

B．A thing as a gift in that day.

C．A signature in the lovers' day for the first time .

D．No real meaning.

4．What does the passage mainly talk about?

[　　]

A．How to spend Saint Valentine's Day.

B．The history of Saint Valentine's Day.

C．Why we should spend Saint Valentine's Day.

D．Why we should remember the person named Valentine.

Dear David,
My daughter will be five years old. She is happy, well-mannered, loving and pretty. She has attended a Montessori school since she was 16 months old and has made two friends. The three girls are always together, or talking with each other.
But recently the girls told my daughter that they would not play with her if she kept playing with the boy who was disliked by most of the class. My daughter always finds good things in others and insisted they play with him, too. Then one of the friends told my daughter she didn’t have straight hair and shouldn’t play with them. Then she started ignoring my daughter. My mother-in-law decided to iron my girl’s beautiful curly hair(卷發(fā)).
With her birthday coming, my child decided to invite her friends to her party. When I asked her why, she said because they were always together, but I know one of the girls will not attend her party. 
I’m concerned about her. I feel lost, not knowing how to help my child.
Jenny
Dear Jenny,
It’s always painful to a mother when someone hurts her child. Your daughter’s friends weren’t nice to her, but little kids are still learning how to get along with others. As a result, young friendships are often fleeting, even changing from day to day. Your daughter seems to be remarkably loving, outgoing and mature(成熟的) beyond her years. Perhaps you need to be proud of the way she treats people.
Ironing your daughter’s hair won’t send your daughter or the other girls a good message. It implies that there is something wrong with the way she is. You have no choice but to let your daughter know that one of the girls won’t be attending her birthday party. If she seems upset, remind her that other friends will be there. My guess is that she will rise to the occasion.
Hope this helps.
David
【小題1】What’s the mother’s problem?

A．Her daughter doesn’t respect other kids
B．Her daughter seems to be losing her friends
C．Her daughter cares too much about her friends
D．Her daughter doesn’t know how to deal with others
【小題2】When the daughter was asked not to play with that boy, she probably ____.
A．thought her friends were right.
B．felt lucky to have such good friends.
C．thought her friends shouldn’t have said that.
D．realized her friends were not popular with others.
【小題3】David used the underlined word“fleeting”to show that  _____.
A．kids value friendshipB．young friendships don’t last longC．young friendships are very importantD．kids are good at dealing with others
【小題4】In David’s opinion, ironing the daughter’s hair _____.
A．is the right thing to doB．will make her more popular.
C．will make her doubt the way she is.D．will help her win back her friends.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2014屆江西師大附中高三10月月考英語(yǔ)卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Holidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.

But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.

For working parents, the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.

The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, much of this is missed.

While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.

In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council (委員會(huì))is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “down time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.

We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.

1.The passage is probably written by      .

A. an experienced teacher        B. a working parent

C. an inspired student                 D. a city council member

2.The underlined word "they" in the second paragraph refers to "       ’.

A. environments                 B. holidays                  C. wages                      D. benefits

3.It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to       .

A. 2 weeks                            B. 4.5 weeks               C. 5 weeks                  D. 6 weeks

4.The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students_____    .

A. obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs

B. get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in school

C. benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment

D. have more school days to receive free school meals

5.It can be inferred from the passage that          _______.

A. working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children

B. the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried out

C. the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real "down time"

D. some school staff will say “No” to the plans for a shorter summer holiday

In 1971, readers around the world were astonished by some photographs which appeared in newspapers. Hidden deep in the rainforests of an island in the Philippines, was an ethnic (種族的)  ___16___ called the Tasaday. Not until that moment did anyone have any ___17___ of these people. They didn’t have an agricultural economy; they hunted animals and  __18___ fruit from the plants in the rainforest. They carried tools made of stone, lived in  ___19__ and wore clothes made of leaves. Unknown until 1971, they    20     became world famous. After that, there were TV    21    and books about them; people said their simple lives showed that human beings could be good and kind if they were not   22    by modern life. Then after 1974 the region was closed by the government and the world    23     about them.

In 1986, a Swiss journalist, Oswald Iten, decided to visit the Tasaday. The journey   __24____ thick rainforests and across rivers was hard and dangerous. Mr. Iten was    25     killed by the soldiers, villagers and businessmen who wanted to take the wood from the rainforest. Finally, Mr. Iten    26     and found the caves of the Tasaday    27   . The people were living in nearby huts and they were all    28     jeans and T-shirts, not leaves. He thought that perhaps they were not an ethnic minority    29    .

When he    30     to Switzerland, Mr. Iten wrote about the Tasaday people in the newspapers. He said he thought that they were just ordinary farmers, poor, but not    31     from anyone else. He believed that in 1971, the government told “the Tasaday” to    32     they were native people from thousands of years ago, so that tourists---and money---would start   ___33     into the region.

One group of experts said that they really were people who had no    34     with modern life before 1971; another group said they were just    35     the part. So who are these people, really? Perhaps we’ll never really be sure.
