The Origins of April Fools Day
What is April Fools Day and where does it come from? It is commonly believed that in medieval（中世纪） France, New Year was celebrated on 1 April. Then in 1562, a new calendar was introduced, changing New Year to 1 January. With no modern 46 , news travelled slowly and new ideas were often questioned. Many people did not 47 the change, while some just forgot. These people were called fools. People send invitations to ‘New Year’ parties that were not existed and other jokes were played. Then a 48 of playing jokes on April 1st started. The custom finally 49 to England and Scotland, and it was later transported across the Atlantic to the American and the French. April Fools Day has now developed into an international festival of fun, with different nationalities celebrating the day in special ways.
April Fools Day around the World
In France and Italy, if someone plays a trick on you, you are the ‘fish of April’. By the month of April fish have only just hatched(孵化) and are easy to 50 . Children stick paper fish to their friends’ backs and chocolate fish are found in the shops.
In Scotland, April Fools Day lasts for two days! The second day is called ‘Taily Day’. Often a sign saying ‘kick me’ is stuck onto someone’s back without 51 .
Today, Americans and the British play small tricks on friends and 52 on April 1st. A common trick is to point to a friend's shoe and say “Your shoe is not tied.” When they look down, they are laughed at. Schoolchildren might tell a friend that school has been cancelled. A bag of flour might be 53 on the top of a door so that when the ‘victim’ opens the door, the flour empties over their head.
Most April Fool jokes are in good fun and not meant to harm anyone. The best trick is the one where everyone laughs, especially the person upon whom the joke has been played.

B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文):（12分）
When I entered Berkley, I hoped to win a scholarship(奖学金). As a Straight-A student all the way through, I believed I could take tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was very interested in the ideas he taught in class.
When I took the first exam, I was shocked to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, for English was always my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my 75 but he refused to do anything about it.
I decided to try harder, 76 I didn’t know what that meant because school always seemed easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I reasoned with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t 77 .
One more test before the final exam. So I worked even harder and, for the first time, learned the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my effort did no good and 78 stayed as before.
The last chance was the final. No matter what grade I got, it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the scholarship goodbye.
I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even relaxed to a 79 . The next day I decided for once I’d have fun with a test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne’s office. He seemed to be expecting me. “If I gave you the grade as you 80 , you wouldn’t continue to work hard.”
I stared at him, realizing what he said was correct. I had worked my head off, as I had never done before. I was surprised when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.
75. A) speeches B) replies C) arguments D) conclusions
76. A) although B) unless C) if D) when
77. A) communicate with me B) look after me
C) get rid of it D) change his mind
78. A) anything B) something C) everything D) nothing
79. A) test B) movie C) trick D) survey
80. A) expected B) volunteered C) realized D) selected
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):（14分）
It is never easy when a friend doesn’t tell the truth. This is something that hurts the person who has been lied to and f 81 it ends up hurting the person who did the lying as well. Lying is never something that is easy to forget or even to forgive. But it is something that you should try to understand so that you can be a better friend.
Usually, friends lie because of the way that they are feeling. If a friend feels inferior to(比……差) another person, he might make up stories so that he can get more a 82 . If your friend is lying to you for this reason, it might be a good idea to talk to your friend and make him understand that he doesn’t need to feel that way.
There are times when a friend might lie to try not getting into trouble. For example, if a friend knows he has been doing something you d 83 , or if he now regrets what he has said or done, he might want to lie about it so that you won’t be angry with him. The best way to deal with this situation is to get to the bottom of what might have happened, and make sure that you are being h 84 with your friend about everything that you do and the fact that lying hurts.
S 85 , a friend lies for other reasons. One of these reasons might be to protect your feelings. For example, he might lie about h 86 silly you look or what stupid words you have said. You must decide if truthfulness(真实) is more important than your feelings in this type of situation.
Many times, friends don’t lie to hurt each other. Perhaps they know that the truth might make you mad at them, and they just don’t want to lose your f 87 . The best way to deal with lying is to talk to your friends calmly, and get the truth.
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)
Researchers from two universities in Britain recently carried out a very interesting project. They aimed to find out what modern family needs from their home. The lucky family chosen to take part in the project was the Joneses: parents Paul and Eve and their two sons, Jimmy (16) and Harry (13). They have just spent two months living in a specially designed hi-tech future house, where cameras recorded everything they did.
TV while you bathe
So what’s in this modern house? It boasts (夸耀) five bedrooms and five bathrooms. The sitting area has a huge TV and a digital picture frame---you can decide which photos you want to appear and change the picture as often as you like. The baths all have waterproof TV screens and DVD players. There is a remote control（遥控器） in every room which controls everything in the house from the lights to the cooker. The floors are all made of glass and all have underfloor heating. The windows clean themselves and there is even a robot called “Iron Man ” to do the ironing. Dirty washing goes into a lift which takes the clothes automatically to the washing machine. The “Iron Man” then does all the ironing.
So how did it go?
The Jones family were over the moon to be chosen to spend some time in the house. Here’s what they said:
Paul: It was great. The house was so comfortable. One day our friends called round with their dog. The dog felt so warm and comfortable; he even slept on the floor! Oh, but there was one problem. One night we were all in bed and all the lights switched themselves on for no reason. It was a bit frightening!
Jimmy: I loved it, but I wish there had been a robot to help me with my homework.
Harry: Staying in was as much fun as going out!
Eve: I loved the TV in the bath but I never watched it before going to work in the morning. If I did, I don’t think I’d ever get out!
The Jones family are now back in their very ordinary home, but planning some hi-tech additions as soon as they can afford them!
The experts hope that results from their project will help developers meet the needs of a 21st-century family. One of the experts wrote a few sentences about his findings on this project:

Dear Daisy,
I’m so glad that the day is over. I was so worried that my first day at my new school would be terrible, but it went well.
I was very nervous because my primary school only had 300 pupils but in the secondary school there are about 1,300. What a difference! I didn’t know anyone here. So now I have to try to make some new friends. My class teacher is called Mrs. Black. She is quite young and friendly. I met a boy who also didn’t know anyone. He moved here from Hong Kong over the summer. He seemed really nice so we sat together when we got to the classroom.
Everyone in the school has a different timetable. Half of the school learns Spanish as a second language and the other half learns French. I’m in the Spanish group, which sounds like fun.
After lunch we started lessons. I had maths, which was difficult and then history. We learn about ancient Greece this year. I have to do some homework tonight to find out how the ancient Greek people lived, so I’m going to do an Internet search and look it up in the library.
So far so good. I’m quite looking forward to tomorrow. I’ll write to you soon.
Yours
Jason
D. Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences (听短文，完成下列内容。每空格限填一词): (共10分)
Ronald Dahl was a British short-story writer and poet. He was born on September 13th, 1916 in South Wales. When Dahl was young, one of his hobbies was reading.
Young Dahl first attended school in England, but he didn’t enjoy school because many teachers were very strict. When Dahl was thirteen, his family moved house and he was sent to Repton Public School. Sadly, the teachers there were even worse than those at his old school. However, there was one good thing about the school. Every few months, a chocolate company, Cadburys, sent boxes of chocolate to Repton for the students to test. This happy memory gave Dahl the idea for his most famous novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
In 1939, when the Second World War started, Dahl joined the Royal Air Force and learned to fly warplanes. Unluckily, on his first flight, the warplane ran out of fuel (燃料) and crashed in a desert. He almost died in the burning plane.
Dahl started writing in the 1940s. In 1945 he moved to America. He lived happily during the last years of his life and he wrote his best books during the period.
