Ⅱ.阅读理解
People in the United States honor their parents in two special days: Mother's Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father's Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens (公民). They give children love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with childcare.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor their parents. They are also the days when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(公墓). On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues on Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought” that counts. Greeting card stores, candy makers, bakeries and telephone companies do a lot of business during these holidays.
1．Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?
A．Parents bring up children.
B．Parents give love and care to children.
C．Parents educate children to be good people.
D．Parents pass away before children grow up.
2．What do you know from the passage?

4．On Mother's Day and Father's Day, ________.

答案：
本文是一篇说明文，讲的是美国人通过不同的方式庆祝父亲节和母亲节，以此表达对父母的爱和尊敬。
1．解析：根据第一段中的“They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens (公民). They give children love and care”可知，D选项不是孩子爱父母、尊重父母的理由，故选D项。
答案：D
2．解析：根据第一段倒数第二句话“More mothers now work outside the home”中的More可以推断出，以前很少有女性外出工作，故选B项。C项内容文章未提及。
答案：B
3．解析：根据第二段的内容，尤其是“A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead”可以推断出carnation指一种代表对妈妈的爱和最好的祝福的花，故选B项。文中提及了康乃馨的两种颜色，但并未说它只有这两种颜色，故A项错；根据第二段内容可知，C项错；D项错在太绝对，母亲节那一天会佩戴康乃馨，但文章并未提及只能在那一天。
答案：B
4．解析：根据第二段倒数第三句话“On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants”可知，在父亲节和母亲节这天，人们通常举行家庭聚会，故选A项。
