special days of the year that are celebrated in different countries.The origins of most of the days are unknown.They were certainly not created by individual people.Other days,however,especially those celebrated in western countries often owe their origins to a particular person.One of the most popular of these,even though it is fairly recent,is Mother’s Day.Mothers have always been highly regarded in all cultures.The ancient Romans had a festival known as Hilaria,during which children took presents to the temple of the “Mother of the Gods”.The Christian Church adopted this idea and called it Mothering Sunday.However,over the years this custom was gradually forgotten,and almost disappeared by the end of the 19th century.Born in 1864 in Virginia,US,Anna Jarvis was a school teacher and believed children should show gratitude(感激) to their mothers for all their love and care.Encouraged by a friend,she wrote to thousands of important people—politicians,churchmen,doctors,city officials and asked them to support her idea:a special day of the year for thanking mothers.In 1910 the Governor of Western Virginia introduced Mother’s Day in the state.The date chosen was May 10—the second Sunday in May,which is still observed in America today.This date was chosen because May 10 was the date on which in 1908 Anna Jarvis’s mother died.In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made May 10 the official date for Mother’s Day throughout the United States.Soon there was a Mother’s Day International Association and the custom began to be adopted in many countries of the world.Anna Jarvis,a sad and disillusioned(幻想破灭的) woman died in 1948.The custom she had worked so hard to establish and which had become almost universal had lost its original purpose.It had been taken over by business.As with Christmas,the giving of presents and the sending of cards had become a multi-million dollar industry.1.The passage mainly tells us________.A.how Mother’s Day came into beingB.how people celebrate Mother’s DayC.a woman named Anna JarvisD.President Wilson and Anna Jarvis2.Hilaria was a festival in________.A.Asia B.AmericaC.Ancient Rome D.the Christian Church3.Anna Jarvis intended to establish a festival for mothers because________.A.her students had nothing to doB.she wanted to know important people in this wayC.she wanted to do something for mothersD.she wanted people to thank their mothers4.May 10 became the date for Mother’s Day because____.A.May 10 was the date on which Anna Jarvis’s mother diedB.it was the second Sunday in May in 1910C.May 10 is a lucky dayD.President Wilson like the date5.The underlined word “observed” in Paragraph 3 most probably means________.A.watched B.followedC.ruled D.set现在分词作状语时表示分词所指的动作与主句谓语动词所指的动作同时进行,且它与句子主语之间的关系为主谓关系,可以表示原因、时间、伴随、结果等。

on Thursday and moved toward Nebraska and Kansas,causing terrible conditions on the eastern plains.Hundreds of flights were cancelled (取消) because of the snowstorm.The snow dropped more than 3 feet in areas of the foothills west of Denver and closed schools and businesses.Roads across the region remained full of snow and icy.“Big storms like these seem to come to America around every 10 to 12 years,〞said Kyle Fredin,a National Weather Service meteorologist (气象学家).The storm also spread a blanket of white from northern Utah’s Wasatch Front to western Nebraska’s northern border with South Dakota.Denverbased Frontier Airlines said it cancelled 19 flights in and out of Denver,and some flights were delayed by up to four hours at Denver International Airport.United Airlines,a carrier at the Denver airport with about 400 flights per day,cancelled about half of its flights.The area around the airport received between 11 and 16 inches of snow,the weather service said.Airport spokesman Chuck Cannon said crews were using 174 pieces of snowremoval equipment to keep runways and taxiways clear as they dealt with severe (猛烈的) wind gusts.“Our biggest problem area now is the eastern plains of Colorado,〞said CDOT spokes man Bob Wilson.“One of the biggest conditions we are dealing with is the wind because it makes us unable to see.〞He said snowplows (扫雪机) had been removing snow.“But the wind is blowing so badly that it will basically just blow more snow onto the roadway,〞 he added.Wilson said no serious accidents had been reported,likely because shuttered businesses meant fewer cars on the road.Whiteout conditions were forecast on Thursday for the plains of Wyoming and western Nebraska,where 12 inches of snow were reported in Rushville and 11 inches nearby Clinton.Threefoot drifts were reported elsewhere in western Nebraska.1.We learn from Paragraph 1 that the autumn snowstorm________.A.is still happening in Colorado nowB.is leaving Nebraska and Kansas nowC.hasn’t cau sed much damage to ColoradoD.has caused terrible conditions on the eastern plains2.What is implied in the passage?A.Denver has never experienced such a big snowstorm before.B.Wasatch Front and Nebraska have been affected by this snowstorm the most.C.Many students are unable to leave their schools because of the snowstorm.D.It’s not the first time that America has experienced such a big snowstorm.3.What do we learn from Paragraph 4?A.No planes can land at DenverInternationalAirport now.B.The area around the airport has the thickest snow in Denver.C.Airlines in Denver are greatly affected by this snowstorm.D.Crews have no idea how to deal with the snow around the airport.4.What does the underlined word in the last but one paragraph mean?A.Developed. B.Closed.C.Balanced. D.Protected.5.From what Bob Wilson said,we learn that________.A.people are not trying to remove snow in ColoradoB.it has been forecast that snow was coming to WyomingC.strong winds are big problem in the eastern plains of Colorado nowD.roadways in Colorado are free of snow nowno matter+wh引导的从句,只能在句中作状语。
