He spends all his spare time on the football pitch.His best friend Lucas Santos spoke about his abilities on a video for The Sun, “He is skillful, he goes after it, he is fearless and he knows how to organize plays. He also makes good passes.” Mum Sandra was thrilled that her son would achieve his dreams. She said, “He started walking before he was one. We would go after him, expecting him to keep falling, but he never fell.” Muniz's gym teacher added, “He is challenging the social norms (标准). When he arrived there, no one believed in him.” But he showed to everyone that he could play as well as any other boy.

It marks the approach of summer.The English developed their May Day festivals from the Roman festival called Floralia. In the festivalof 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 anddancing around the maypole. May Queen is a girl selected as being the most beautiful 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 homes of friends' and neighbors' on May Day morning. At May Day parties, children select May Queens, dance around the maypole, and sing May Day songs.58. What do we know about the May Day in Britain in the Middle Ages?A. People wore bright colours.B.

It’s often a gathering of people who are there for many different reasons. Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, orperhaps themselves. Their intentions are completely unrelated to the festive time of the year.It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a chil d’s bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew. It was like throwing a bucket of small fish into a tank of sharks. I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.As the pile of bikes began to gradually decrease in size, I saw my polite opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it up and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his presence. He wore lots of belts of metal studded leather around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos(文身) were an obvious passion of his.I started to give up the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, "Merry Christmas." My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best gift I had ever received for Christmas. The kindness of a stranger broke all preconceived notions(预想) I may have had of stereotypes and prejudices.62．How did the author feel when going into the store?A.The crowd was like small fish.B.They might not get the bike.C.He was excited to do the shopping.D.The whistle was blown too late.63．What happened when the author was buying the bike?A.He was scared by a man’s look at fi rst.B.A gentleman bought the bike for him.C.A stranger helped him lift the box.D.He gave up the bike he first touched.64．What did the author learn from the experience?A.Look before you leap.B.Custom is a second nature.C.Doing is better than saying.D.Don’t judge a book by its cover.65.What may be the best title for the passage?A. Black Friday SalesB. My son’s best bikeC. The best Christmas giftD. A strange gentleman第二节 7选5(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。
