One look at her and I was crazyI had never seen such a beautiful girl!I asked Mr. Gardner who she was，and he answered，“Thats Marilyn Riley，Cut Rileys daughter.”I was shocked to say the least. They lived just around the corner from me. I walked across the gym floor to introduce myself，“Hi，Im Jack Joseph.”“I know who you are，”was her nottoofriendly response.“Would you like to dance？” I asked. “No！Im working，” she shot back.“Can I call you next week for a movie date？” I asked. “No” was her response.For the next month I phoned，trying to set up a date. She always had the same answer：No. Then one rainy afternoon in March as I was driving home after basketball practice，I saw Marilyn, walking with no umbrella，no raincoat and no hat. I pulled alongside her and asked if she needed a ride，half expecting her to say no. Instead，she stepped over the roadside and sat down on the seat next to me.

It was magic from then on.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者海军退伍之后受母校校长邀请参加情人节舞会，遇到一位女孩并与其交往的故事。4Why did Jack decide to attend the party?AThe party was held to wele him back home.BMarilyn would be introduced to him at the party.CHe could meet some of his former teachers there.DThey gathered there to celebrate Valentines Day.C解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的最后两句可以看出，由于在情人节舞会上可以见到原来的老师，所以作者决定参加舞会。所以选C项。5What was the authors attitude towards the party?ACasual.BFormal.CPassive.

It marks the approach of summer.The English developed their May Day festival from the Roman festival called Floralia. In the festival of Floralia, the Romans gathered flowers to honor the goddess of spring, Flora. In the Middle Ages, May Day became the favorite holiday of many English villages. People gathered flowers to decorate their homes and churches, sang spring songs and chose a king and a queen of May. Villagers danced around a tall pole fixed upright in the ground, called a maypole, each holding the end of a ribbon attached to the top of the pole. They tied the ribbons around the pole until it was covered with bright colors. They collected dew(露水)on May Day morning and washed their faces with it because they believed that the dew on the day had the magic power to regain youth.Nowadays in Britain people no longer attach great importance to the day, but in some towns and villages people still celebrate it by choosing the May Queen and dancing around the maypole. May Queen is a girl selected as the most beautiful girl on May Day. She is usually crowned with flowers and often driven in procession through the street. In the United States, the day has never been celebrated with the same enthusiasm as in Britain. But in many American towns and cities, children celebrate the day with dancing and singing. They often gather flowers in handmade paper baskets and hang them on the doorknobs of the homes of their friends and neighbors on May Day morning. At May Day parties, children select May Queen, dance around the maypole, and sing May Day songs.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了欧洲国家的传统节日“五朔节”。8What do we know about the May Day in Britain in the Middle Ages?APeople dressed in bright colors.BPeople celebrated it with enthusiasm.CPeople presented flowers to the goddess of spring.DPeople stayed at home instead of going to churches.B解析：细节理解题。根据第二段内容特别是第三、四句可知，在中世纪，英国人通过举行各种活动，热情地庆祝五朔节，故B项正确。9Why did people wash their faces with dew on May Day?ATo bring good luck.

Since the 1980s, some have spoken out against coffee as its harmful to health, while others have weled coffee for its supposed benefits to health.According to a scientific report, mild coffee consumption, three to five cups per day, can be taken as a healthy dietary pattern, along with other healthful behavior. The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinsons disease.According to Dr. Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic, high consumption of coffee has health risks. Dr. Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the risk of heart disease in these people.According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr. Gregory Marcus, a doctor from the University of California, San Francisco, daily moderate consumption of caffeine, less than 4 cups, is not associated with these issues.Until the scientific munity reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption on human health, it will be up to the individual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks.When informed of these possible health benefits and harm of drinking coffee, Harwood, a high school student stated, “Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee, for the most part, coffee drinking sounds good for health. Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake.”【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人们对咖啡是否有益于身体健康的几种不同观点。12What is the peoples attitude towards the effects of coffee on health according to Paragraph 1?ADisapproving.BTolerant.CDoubtful.
