一、多任务混合阅读（2022·山东·枣庄市第十五中学一模）
读下面的一篇文章，在答题卡的1~5每个题目下做简单的笔记。
April Fool’s Day is a celebration that takes place in different countries around the world. It
happens on April 1st every year and is a day when many people play all kinds of tricks and jokes
on each other.
One April Fool’s Day, a reporter in England announced that there would be no more spaghetti
because the spaghetti farmers in Italy had stopped growing spaghetti. Many people ran to their
local supermarkets to buy as much spaghetti as they could. By the time people realized that the
story was a hoax, all of the spaghetti across the county had been sold out. In another famous trick
a TV show In England reported the discovery of special water. They said this water would help
people lose weight and that one customer had already lost a lot of weight in just four months. By
the end of the day, more than 10,000 people had phoned the TV station to find out how to get this
water.
Many April Fool’s jokes may end up being not very funny. A famous TV star once invited his
girlfriend onto his show on April Fool’s Day. He asked her to marry him. The lady was so happy
because she really wanted to get married. However, when she said yes, he replied. “April Fool!”
That little joke didn’t have a very happy ending. The TV star lost his girlfriend and his show was
canceled.
One of the world’s most famous tricks, however, happened in October rather than in April. In
that month in 1938, actor Orson Welles announced on his radio program that aliens from Mars had
landed on the earth. He described where they had landed and told how they were moving across
the United States. Welles made it sound so real that hundreds of people believed the story, and fearspread across the whole country. By the time police officers announced that the story was a hoax,
thousands of people had left their homes.
