The first day of the month of May is known as May Day. It is the time of year when warmer weather begins. People celebrate the coming of summer with customs that are expressions of joy and hope after a long winter. Today, May Day activities have been moved to the May Day holiday on the first Monday of the month. It is a public holiday when families take advantage of the time off to visit some of the UK’s many attractions, including parks, zoos, historic buildings, ancient towns and villages and beautiful countryside.

May Day celebrations have their origins in the Roman festival of Flora, the goddess of fruit and flowers, which marked the beginning of summer. People would decorate their houses and villages with leaves and flowers they picked at daybreak in the belief that the vegetation spirits would bring good luck. In the very early morning, young girls went into the fields and washed their faces with dew (露水). They believed this made them very beautiful for the following year.

May Day was an important day in the Middle Ages and was a favorite holiday of many English villages. People of the time used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer. This is the origin of the maypole (五月柱). People danced around them in celebration of the end of winter. Maypoles were once common all over England and were kept from one year to the next. The tallest maypole is said to have been put up in London on the Strand in 1661. It stood more than 143 feet high and was cut down in 1717, when it was used by Newton to support a new reflecting telescope (反射式望远镜) invented by Dutch scientist Huygens.

1.How do British people celebrate May Day?

A. They visit friends and family members.

B. They celebrate it on the first Monday of May.

C. They spend a lot of time shopping around.

D. They show great love for the long winter.

2.The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.

A. washing the face with dew

B. going into the fields

C. picking flowers at daybreak

D. getting up early in the morning

3.What can we learn about the maypole?

A. People climb it on May Day.

B. It was usually found in the cities.

C. It dates from the Middle Ages.

D. People used old, tall trees to make it.

4.The purpose of the text is to _____.

A. describe Roman customs

B. suggest spring family activities

C. explain the origins of maypoles

D. introduce a British festival

It is that time of the year again. Up and down the country, thousands of students stay in the library, attempting to cram(死记硬背)the information necessary to get through finals. I am one of them — a Cambridge finalist, attempting to deal with the Oxbridge stress in the only way I know: caffeine hits and reclusion(遁生活) Whether you love or hate Oxbridge, the fact that these two universities provide unique learning environments is something of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, students have access to some of the best education in the world; on the other hand, the pressure that comes with this can prove damaging to them and can't be swept under the carpet for they have to face it eventually.

Many Cambridge students find themselves trapped in a pressure of expectation, whether this comes from their supervisors or tutors, their director of studies or even from themselves. The drive towards achievement is either the key to success or to possible serious personal issues, as Mark Phippen, head of the University of Cambridge's Counseling Service said, ''There are plenty of perfectionists in Cambridge, but it can work two ways: it can push them to accomplish and to achieve, or it can get out of hand, disabling them. ''

Many students say that they can’t handle it any more while working in certain libraries which are filled with other students hard at work. The competition and paranoia(疑)are more common than what we realize or question: you can feel as if you are being judged for how much time you spend on Facebook or YouTube, or how little time you spend reading.

Too many students feel almost frustrated by the pressure to achieve but feel unable to speak about it. As everyone seems to be coping, they must also pretend to cope too. The only thing students have: tutors and supervisors regularly encourage students to avoid extracurricular activities, urging them to focus on their studies to such an extent that many find it hard to handle it. One current Cambridge tutor has been known for checking up on the activities of students involved in extracurricular theatre by searching for them on the camdram.net website, which details who is involved in certain plays each term — just in case it affects the student’s work output.

Problems arise when the pressure produces mental health issues. Problems have been brought to attention in articles primarily from Oxford's Cherwell and Cambridge's The Tab. The attention has made the Cambridge University Student Union set up Students Deserve Better — a campaign to handle complaints about supervisors and tutors lacking the ability to provide proper spiritual support. ''When I told my supervisor about my problems with anxiety and therefore about my worries surrounding the workload she was suggesting, she said that I would probably feel less anxious once the work was done, '' a finalist student called Jane said. ''It shouldn't be an accepted response in one of the world's best universities. Their responses only worsened any feelings I had concerning my final year. ''

Phippen said, ''At this point the exams seem like the most important thing in the world. However, two years down the line you’ll realize that the exams you did at university aren't very important at all, as what then becomes more important is what you have done within those two years afterwards. Finalist exams can become depressing for students studying at any university. All you must remember is that you are not alone and you are good enough, and that a few years down the line, your ability to recount the plots of Euripides' nineteen plays will no longer matter. So why worry? ''

1.The underlined part ''be swept under the carpet'' in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ''______''.

A.be covered up B.be dealt with

C.be given up D.be figured out

2.What's Mark Phippen's attitude towards the pressure put on the students at Oxbridge?

A.Critical. B.Doubtful.

C.Objective. D.Ambiguous.

3.What can we know from Paragraph 4?

A.Extracurricular activities fail to appeal to most students.

B.Some tutors and supervisors push their students too hard.

C.There is a lack of communication between students and their supervisors.

D.Some students don't speak about the pressure because they think they can handle it.

4.What Jane said in Paragraph 5 suggests that she ______ .

A.didn't get her problems across to her supervisor

B.had expected better spiritual guidance from her tutors

C.was dissatisfied with her supervisor's delayed responses

D.was glad that Students Deserve Better was set up to help students like her

5.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A.Oxbridge pressure: the key to students' achievements

B.Oxbridge finals: the toughest exams in the country

C.Oxbridge graduates: the strongest competitors in the job market

D.Oxbridge success: the result of teacher-student interaction
