2012汕头一模高三教学质量测评英语试题答案(4)

以下是这些报道的简要内容介绍，请配对它们的标题。

46. Where did this most popular day for couples come from? And how does it come into beings, year after year? Noel Lenski, professor of the University of Colorado, said the lovers’ holiday traces its roots to raucous annual Roman festivals held every year on February 15 and remained wildly popular well into the fifth century A.D.
47. The first Earth Day in 1970 was a raucous, radical teach-in that helped spur clean-air, clean-water, and endangered species legislation in the United States. Now, 40 years later, Earth Day is every day, as the saying goes. The thing is, it’s also everyday - environmentalism has become a routine with greenness as much a marketing tactic as a moral pursuit.
48. Some 242 million turkeys were raised in the U.S. in 2010 for slaughter, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Last year’s birds were worth about U.S. $3.6 billion. Before the big dinner, debunk the myths, we need to know that the first “real” U.S. Thanksgiving wasn’t until the 1800s and get to the roots of Thanksgiving 2010. 高考网Www.gaoKw.CoM

49. Father’s Day traditionally takes a backseat to Mother’s Day, and, for the most part, dads are cool with that, experts say. Nevertheless, as traditional roles around the house gradually change, fathers are gaining more attention on their special day, at least as measured in the monetary value of gifts estimated to be given on June 19, 2011, when the holiday will be celebrated in dozens of countries.
50. Cookouts, fireworks, and, of course, a chance to wish Uncle Sam a big “happy birthday” —the day means summer in full swing across the United States and beyond. Besides the founders of the US, Fireworks, first authorized by Congress in 1777, are another legacy. More than 14,000 fireworks displays light up U.S. skies each year.

第二节 读写任务 (共1小题，满分25分)
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Recently I entered one office of our company, seeing a co-worker(同事) head on his arms. She was really upset. We began talking about work issues and the topic quickly turned into her daughter, her mother, her husband and her personal life. I just sat and gave her my full attention. This went on for about 20 minutes. Finally, a smile came to her face and she said, “Why is it that I can always talk to you?” What I know is that I gave her my full attention and listened.
Listening is an important part of helping someone. It is different from hearing. Most people can hear but listening is a learned skill. You have to stop thinking about yourself and put your attention on the person talking. I believe if you really listen to one another, many situations could be changed. It means you give another person the chance to have him heard. To me, this is an important way to help others and it does make a difference. 高考网wWw.GaoKw.cOm

Dear Editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the road construction which is going to take place in our city. Recently the local government has decided to broaden some narrow roads to build BRT, which has caused a heated discussion among the local people.
Some agree that we should carry out the construction project because it can solve some traffic problems and make our life convenient and comfortable. Besides, it helps promote the economy and improve people’s living environment as well as the image of Shantou as a modern tourist city in the southeast of Guangdong province.
