In this day and age, there seems to be a move towards secondary school subjects. For that reason, some parents and some students feel that the compulsory study of English literature is misguided and disadvantageous to students, particularly if they are second language learners of English. However, there are still good reasons for the study of English literature.
Students of English language sometimes fail to see the point of studying English literature,especially if they have no plans to study English or translation at university. But English literature can introduce students to a range of aspects, not only of the English language but also the culture of English-speaking countries.
There are aspects of English culture that are summarised by English literature. Of course, this is quite obvious when studying the works of Shakespeare or of writers, poets and playwrights of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is, however, also true when studying other works of English literature. Students can learn about good stories and references to different aspects of English culture. They can also learn the context and meanings of famous quotes and phrases.
Studying literature does not confine the students to the traditions ofEnglandbut includes the possibility of introducing them to traditions which inform English literature, such as the study of Ancient Greek drama, and to literature in other contexts, such as American literature.
An enjoyment and appreciation of literature will give students the ability to develop this into an interest in books and reading as they move away from their studies and into the adult lives. They will have the confidence to approach and cope with new forms of books and writing, since they were exposed to a range of literature during their school days.
When studying literature, students can learn not only language aspects such as vocabulary items but also the language aspects which can be used for specific purposes. For example, if the students are familiar with the
concepts of beat and rhythm of English poems, they can improve their own writing as they are able to appreciate and apply these ideas.
Finally, the study of literature can provide students with a fresh and creative angle, from which the students can approach their studies in particular and their lives in general.
So the next time you are reading a newspaper article complaining of the lack of creativity and initiative in the local workforce, remember that in a small way the study of English literature can help to add a refreshing and further dimension to a person’s life.
4. The author may agree that the study of English literature________.
A. has a long-lasting influence on students
B. is misguided and has more disadvantages
C. is not necessary for second language learners
D. only allows the students to learn the traditions ofEngland
5. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.schools fail to care about students’ needs
B. learning English literature makes students smarter
C. English culture is closely related to English literature
D. the more you read literary works, the more you complain
6. What’s the author’s attitude towards the study of English literature?
A. Critical.
B. Cautious.
C. Supportive.
D. Anxious.
7. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Parents and Students’ Demands

Too much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn andeven reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.
One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms
scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.
A second study ,looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood.But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don't ride out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人）may watch lots of TV.
Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages5 and 15. These with college degrees had watch an averageof less than two hours of TV per week night during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2.5 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.
In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.
While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to increasing findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms.
12. According to the California study, the low-scoring group might _________.
A. have had computers in their bedrooms
B. not be interested in math
C. be unable to go to college
D. have watched a lot of TV
13. What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?

D. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.

B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.
C. More time should be spent on computers.
D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done
15. What would be the best title for this text?

B. Effects of Television on Children
C. Studies on TV and College Education
D. Television and Children's Learning Habits

The first day I went to high school, I see some of my classmates playing table tennis. Amazed at what skillful they were, I was determining to be just as good. Late on, I often watched them carefully learn their techniques. Then I kept practicing until we became confident enough to challenge them. At the end of the term, I became one of the best player in our class.
I am real proud of this experience, because of it helps me realize that we all can fulfill our potential and achieve our goals through hard work. It also helps me better understand a proverb “Practice makes perfect.”

52.阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Old Jimwas without doubt the besthairstylist I’d ever known. He designed every haircut so artistically that it would be an understatement to say the magics created by him were “beautiful”. But there was one strange thing about his shop: there was nomirrorin it, so customers were kept in suspense until they reached home.
I entered Old Jim’s hairdresser’s, sad and disappointed, having just been rejected a role in the school play. I was ordinary-looking and boring, and that’s why they didn’t want me — I was convinced. “I want to bebeautiful,” I said to Old Jim, tears almost dropping. After having a haircut, I thanked him again andwalkedout through the door, his words remaining in my head: “There’smagicin your new hair. Now start your journey to beauty.”
Sunlight dropped down through the overlapping leaves above my head as I walked on the street. I shook my head but didn’t feel a difference. I could only slightly feel that something was different, like a little voice that had long been suppressed that desired to beheard.
Suddenly, I heard someone calling out to me. “Susan! Susan” I turned around. It was Jennifer, the most popular girl in the whole school. “It really is you, Susan. You look great today!” ‘Thanks.” Jennifer was everything I wanted to be. What a sweet victory to get such admiration from a girl like her! We had aconversationon school and parted at a crossing, where she turned left and I right.
As I walked, I could see aboywalking toward me. We went to the same school but hadn't talked to each other much. If it weren't for the new hair, I would have looked down and pretended not to see him. I had always beenshy.
Paragraph 1:
But at that point, I intended to test out Old Jim’s magic.
