I appreciate the opportunity to spend quality time with my mom but it is painful for me to see her house littered with stuff. Clothesbought but never worn, and new items in their original packaging carelessly purchased and never used. It's evident that seeing the stuff on a daily basis reminds my mom of a time when shopping was her way of spending money.I didn‟t fully understand the extent to which my mom was su ffering until this week, when I saw piles of clothes on her bed. “How do you manage to sleep every night with all that stuff, Mom?”I asked. To my horror, she replied, “I do it because I know I have to get rid of all this stuff eventually; I am punishing myself by sleeping with them until I do—that. ”Shocked and upset, I gently explained to her that punishing herself was only to make things worse, and that everybody deserves a place to sleep in peace, no matter what mistakes they‟ve made.I suggested she move all the stuff upstairs, leaving her room comfortable to sleep in.With patience and her slow but steady guidance, I helped her go through some of the piles and move them upstairs. For the rest of the week I stayed there, she was in a better mood and was excited about going through the rest of the house to finally get rid of her stuff—past mistakes and painful times. The items brought back painful memories as we inspected and moved them, but I kept reminding her that removing them would allow her to move on and heal. We finally sold so many things and took bag after bag to charity.The stuff is just a sign of the destructive patterns of self-hatred on past mistakes. Only through the act of self-forgiveness can we bring about a chain reaction of reorganizing—both of the house and heart.24. What made the author feel bitter?A. She couldn‟t understand her mom‟s sorrows.B. Her mom was stuck in the painful memories.C. Her mom was always left alone at home.D. Her mom wasted money on useless things.25.

What‟s the best title of the passage?A. How to do shopping wisely?B. The importance of self-forgivenessC. Keep an eye on the elderly‟s behaviorD. Clearance helps remove sufferingCIn a career that lasted more than half a century, Tom Wolfe wrote fiction and nonfiction best-sellers including The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and The Bonfire of the Vanities. Along the way, he created a new type of journalism and coined phrases that became part of the American vocabulary.Wolfe began working as a newspaper reporter, first for The Washington Post, then the New York Herald Tribune. He developed a literary style in nonfiction that became known as the “New Journalism.” “I‟ve always agreed on a theoretical level that the techniques for fiction and nonfiction are interchangeable,” he said. “The t hings that work in nonfiction would work in fiction, and vice versa.”“When Tom Wolfe‟s voice broke into the world of nonfiction, it was a time when a lot of writers, and a lot of artists in general, were turning inwards,” says Lev Grossman, book critic for Time magazine. “Wolfe didn‟t do that. Wolfe turned outwards. He was a guy who was interested in other people.” Wolfe was interested in how they thought, how they did things and how the things they did affected the world around them.In 1979, Wolfe published The Right Stuff, an account of the military test pilots who became America‟s first astronauts. Four years later, the book was adapted as a feature film. “The Right Stuff was the book for me,” says Grossman. “It reminded me, in case I‟d forgotten, that the world is an incredible place.”In The Right Stuff, Wolfe populariz ed the phrase “pushing the envelope.” In a New York magazine article, Wolfe described the 1970s as “The …Me‟ Decade.” Grossman says these phrases became part of the American idiom because they were accurate.“He was an enormously forceful observer, and he was not afraid of making strong claims about what was happening in reality,” Grossman says. “He did it well and people heard him. And they repeated what he said because he was right.” All those words started a revolution in nonfiction that is still going on.28. The “New Journalism” is a style of journalism that .A. changes its news writing techniques frequentlyB. popularizes new American idioms in a literary wayC. combines novelistic techniques with traditional reportingD. reports various news events from a theoretical perspective29. It can be learned from the passage that The Right Stuff.A. is a film directed by Lev GrossmanB. is an influential book by Tom WolfeC. accounts for popular American phrasesD. deals with incredible places in the world30. According to the passage, Tom Wolfe .A. was good at reporting news from a realistic perspectiveB. preferred making claims about events to writing booksC. was fond of commenting on other people‟s thoughtsD. liked analyzing social problems from the outside31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Tom Wolfe: A Professional Phrase CoinerB. Tom Wolfe: A Forceful Observer and NovelistC. Tom Wolfe: A Theoretical Creator in LiteratureD. Tom Wolfe: An Innovative Journalist and WriterDIf you‟re a book lover, you have a pile of books on your bedside, or a bookshelf in your library with a “to read” sign on it. Yet you can‟t stop yourself from adding to the pile. This can lead to feelings of guilt over your new purchases. But I‟m here to tell you to stop worrying.What you have is an antilibrary, and it‟s a very good thing. The term comes from writer Umberto Eco. He is the owner of a large personal library. He separates visitors into two groups: those who rea ct with “Wow! What a library you have! How many of these books have you read?”and the others who get the point that a private library is not something to show off but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection an antilibrary.If you think you already know everything about a subject, you‟re cutting yourself off from a stream of information at an artificial point. So a growing library of book s you haven‟t read means you‟re consistently curious about the unknown. And that attitude is a great foundation for a lifelong love of learning.So don‟t feel guilt y over your unread books. Those books will be there for you when you do want them, and as you build your library of read and unread books, you can start using it as you would use a bigger library. Certain books may become references more than read-throughs. Or you may find that a book you bought five years ago has special relevance today. Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curiosity. That‟s good for you and good for the world around you.32. What does the underlined word “antilibrary” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Feelings of guilt over new books.B. A pile of books on the bookshelf.C. The collection of unread books.D. A large personal library.33. According to the author, more unread books mean________.A. your wrong lifelong learning attitudeB. you limit yourself from the unknownC. your have no interest in the new worldD. your strong desire about new information34. What‟s the author‟s attitude towards having an antilibrary?A. Favorable.B. Doubtful.C. Ambiguous.D. Contradictory.35. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Curiosity is a sign of high IQ.B. Books are the ladder in our life.C. Unread books are surely relevant to the present.D. We should read through every book.第二节（共 5 小题, 每小题 2 分, 满分10 分）根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。
