最新教学资料·外研版英语模块综合测评(二)Modules 3~4Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AThe opera house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one of the most beautiful opera houses in the United States.It is small and open, with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience.This opera house in the mountain is one of the best opera houses in the country, which may seem surprising because performances are only given during seven weeks in the summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city.One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers.They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday, and they work hard to become wellknown during the summer.The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras (管弦乐队) and operas in the country during their vacations.They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe, which is near both the mountains and the desert.It is very beautiful there in summer.The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country, and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera.Still, most of the audience do come from Santa Fe and other nearby cities,and all the seats in the theater are sold for every show.There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, and that is the cold weather.Because the theater is open, performances cannot start before it gets dark at nine o'clock in the evening, and then the mountain air becomes very cool.Sometimes people complain about the cold air, but because the operas are good, these people come back again wearing warm coats.1.This passage mainly introduces .A.a mountain city B.young musiciansC.an opera house D.the tourists in Santa Fe【解析】主旨大意题。

D.They are human-focused.22.Contestants of“ Lyrics make the song.”23.What type of writing is this text?A. A writing guide.B. A poetry review.C.An official report. D.An announcement.BI once saw a TV programme at college about a scientist who used“ driftbottles (漂流瓶 ) ”to mark ocean currents. It was a rather boring programme. Iwas more interested to read an article about someone who found a bottle on abeach with a message inside. Like the drift bottles, it had been thrown into thesea— but 21 years before. I decided to find out more about such bottles, and Istarted work on this intriguing ( 非常有趣的 ) research.An early message in a bottle was thrown into the sea by Christopher Columbusduring a terrible storm. He wrote about his discovery of America and expected thathis message would be sent to the Queen of Spain. He wanted the news to reach her,but he thought he might be drowned 淹(死 ) in the storm. In fact, he survived but thebottle was never found.I would be excited to find a message in a bottle, but in the 16th century, it couldbe dangerous. In those days, the British Navy海(军 ) used messages in bottles tosend information about the enemy. When Queen ElizabethⅠ found out that aboatman had opened a bottle containing one of these secret messages, she createda new job, Uncorker of Ocean Bottles. I was amazed to learn that anyone else who opened a bottle could be sentenced to death. It seems very strange to us now.A long time ago, before dating websites existed to help people find partners, asailor in Sweden put this message in a bottle—“ To someone beautiful and far away. ” It was found by a young woman in Sicily. She answered the message—“ I am notbeautiful, but it seems a miracle 奇(迹 ) I found your message. They”began to write letters to each other, and eventually got married.Nowadays it's easy to communicate with anyone anywhere in the world, but I think people will still go on throwing bottles with messages into the ocean and guessing where the winds and the waves will carry them. And how romantic it would be to find a bottle with a message inside!24.Why did the author do some research on bottles thrown into the sea?A. He had found a message in one.B. He had read an article about one.C. He had to do a project on them at college.D. He had watched a TV programme about them.25.Christopher Columbus put a message into a bottle to .26.How did the author feel about the 16th century punishment for opening ocean bottles?A. Frightening.B. Amusing.C.Astonishing. D.Satisfying.27.Why did the young woman in Sicily reply to the Swedish sailor's message?A. She wanted to have a pen friend.B. She felt she fitted his description.C. She failed to access a dating website.D. She was impressed by the bottle's journey.CGene Wolfe is one of the most admired and respected American science fiction and fantasy writers. He is also a productive writer of outstanding short fiction, whichis collected in many volumes over the last forty years, most recently inThe Best ofGene Wolfe.Although Wolfe is not as well-known to readers as he once was, he has been thereceiver of great praise, including three World Fantasy Awards, two Nebulas, andeight Hugo Award nominations (提名 ). Sci-fi author Harlan Ellison has calledhim, “ no less than one of the finest, most original writers in the world today”the Encyclopedia of Science Fictionnames him “ quite possibly the most important”writer in the field of science fiction.Born in 1931, New York, Gene Wolfe moved frequently as a child, but spentmost of his growing-up years in Texas. Wolfe began writing fiction in 1956, sellinghis first story,The Dead Man, to Sir magazine in 1965. He produced a vast amount ofshort fiction during the 1960s and 1970s, many of which were published in DamonKnight's Orbit anthologies. In 1972 Wolfe's groundbreakingThe Fifth Head ofCerberus appeared. The story of human conquest(征服 ) upon two distant planets,the book examines issues of identity, individuality, and the results of colonialismupon both the colonized and the colonizer. The novel was later listed in DavidPringle's 1985 list of The 100 Best Novels in science fiction for the period1949― 1984.Many of his novels, The Shadow of the Torturerincluded, rely on a diary orletter to tell his story. In addition, Wolfe's early interest in mystery novels shinesthrough in his ability to drop cleverly hidden clues (线索 ) that allow the reader tograsp at the possible narrative behind the narrative.By 1984 Wolfe was able to retire and devote himself full-time to his writing. Yetdespite (尽管 ) all this, and despite the continuing respect of his colleagues, his workhas become somewhat unfamiliar. Wolfe's admirers hope this fact will be at leastsomewhat improved by his most recent offering,The Wizard Knight, which fallswithin the fantasy type that is currently popular.28. What is Harlan Ellison's attitude toward Gene Wolfe?A. Concerned.B. Sympathetic.C.Admiring.D.Regretful.29.What do we know aboutThe Fifth Head of Cerberus?A. It was well received.B. It was Gene Wolfe's first novel.30.Which has great influence on Gene Wolfe's writing style?A. His understanding of life.B. His childhood experiences.C. His colleagues' suggestions.D. His love for mystery fiction.31.What can we infer about Gene Wolfe from the last paragraph?A. His work has become less popular.B. He became famous forThe Wizard Knight.C.His fans were disappointed to some degree. D.He stopped fantasy writing after his retirement.The word or phrase that you use to open your email account may provide akey to your personality as well as to your correspondence信(件 ), according to aBritish psychologist. Helen Petrie, professor of human / computer interaction交(互作用) at City, University in London, analysed the responses of 1,200 Britons whoparticipated in a survey funded 提(供资金 ) by CentralNic, an Internet domainname company. The results were recently published on CentralNic's website.Petrie identifies three main password“ types” .“ Family oriented” respondenumbered nearly half of those surveyed. These people use their own name ornickname, the name of a child, partner, or pet or a birth date as their password. Theytend to be occasional computer users and have strong family ties.“ They choose passwords that symbolize people or events with emotional value,” says Petrie. Onethird of respondents were“ fans” , using the names of athletes, singers, movie stars,fictional characters, or sports teams. Petrie says fans are young and want to attachthemselves to the lifestyle represented by a celebrity. Two of the most popularnames were Madonna and Homer Simpson. The third main group of participants are“ cryptics ” because they pick confusing passwords or a random随机的 () string ofletters, numbers, and symbols such as“ Jxa+157 ” . Petrie says cryptics are the mostsecurity-conscious group. They tend to make the safest but least interesting choices.Passwords are revealing for two reasons. First, because they are invented on thespot. “ Since you are focused on getting into a system, for example your email account,you're likely to write down something that comes quickly to mind,” says Petrie.this sense passwords take advantage of things that are just below the surface of consciousness. Also, to remember your password, you pick something that willstick in your mind. You may unconsciously choose something of particularemotional importance. ”32.How did Petrie draw her conclusions?A. By observing participants' reactions.B.By interviewing 1,200 people.C. By studying survey results.D. By doing an experiment.33. What do we know about people whose passwords are“ family oriented”?A. They probably have large families.B. They are likely to be animal lovers.C. They tend to be social and emotional.D. They are probably infrequent computer users.34. What does Petrie say about the“ cryptic” group?A. They have strong safety awareness.B. They lack imagination and creativity.35.Why can passwords reveal our personalities?A. We choose words we will easily remember.B. We are willing to invent something personal.C. We are likely to value important experiences.D. We pick up a password after careful consideration.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。

She talked back to teachers, and she was bored with school. In high school Lee was lucky enough to have a gifted English teacher, Gladys Watson Burkett, who made her fall in love with literature and taught her h ow to write well. There Lee loved nineteenthcentury British authors best, and once said that her dream was to become “the Jane Austen of South Alabama”.After leaving high school, she went to the University of Alabama. There she found a second home on the campus newspaper. Eventually she became editorinchief of the Rammer Jammer, a quarterly humor magazine on campus. She entered the law school, but she loathed it. Despite her father's hope that she would become a local attorney (律师) like her sister Alice, Lee went to New York for her writing.She spent eight years working small jobs before she finally showed a manuscript (手稿) to Tay Hohoff, an editor at J.B. Lippincott. At this point, it was more like a string of stories than the novel that Lee wanted to write. Under Hohoff's guidance, two and a half years of rewriting followed. Finally the novel was ready for publication.To Kill a Mockingbird was published in 1960 to highly favorable reviews and quickly climbed the bestseller lists, where it remained for eightyeight weeks. In 1961, the novel won the Pulitzer Prize. To Kill a Mockingbird has sold more than thirty million copies in eighteen languages. In 2011, President Obama awarded Nelle Harper Lee the National Medal of Arts.4.When Nelle Harper Lee was a little girl, she ________.A.loved reading very muchB.was loved by all her teachersC.read some of Jane Austen's novelsD.was naughty and liked breaking rules5.What kind of role did Gladys Watson Burkett play in Nelle Harper Lee's life?A.She recommended her to some living authors.B.She made her become a popular girl.C.She inspired her to write her novel.D.She introduced her to literature.6.What does the underlined wo rd “loathed” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Reduced. B.Disliked.C.Developed. D.Considered.7.How did Tay Hohoff react after reading Nelle Harper Lee's manuscript?A.She made fun of it.B.She guided her to improve it.C.She refused to help publish it.D.She was extremely excited about it.CWhat is poetry? We usually don't think much about this question. If we do, we're probably tempted to think that poetry is simply a series of rhyming lines which describe a thing or an experience. But if it was as simple as that, why would we need poetry at all?One explanation of poetry I like is that poetry communicates the essence (本质) or the soul of something, instead of just describing it. For example, imagine describing a playground swing to someone: what it looks like and how it feels to swing backwards and forwards. The person you're talking to would probably understand, but would he or she really get a sense of the excitement and freedom a child feels on a swing?Now, take a moment to read Robert Louis Stevenson's short poem The Swing.How do you like to go up in a swing.Up in the air so blue?Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thingEver a child can do!Up in the air and over the wall,Till I can see so wide,River and trees and cattle and allOver the countrysideTill I look down on the garden green,Down on the roof so brown,Up in the air I go flying again,Up in the air and down!The poem communicates so much more than any mere description could: the joy, the wonder, and the fun a child feels when he or she swings high up into the air.Another way to explain it is to say that a poet uses language techniques to create visual images that come alive in the mind of readers or listeners. As the images come alive, the readers or listeners become part of the experience being described: they are there, at least in their imagination. And because they are there, even for a very short time, their emotions are also engaged. They feel frightened or excited, filled with awe or sadness. Pretty amazing, really.8.In Paragraph 1, the author shows that poetry ________.A.is attractive to everyone who loves readingB.isn't very different from other forms of writingC.mainly tells about an experience of a poetD.is about more than just describing something9.What is the explanation of poetry that the author likes?A.It truly helps the reader feel excited and free.B.It shows the essence or the soul of something.C.It describes something to people in a better way.D.It makes something simple sound more beautiful.10.What does the poem written by Robert Louis Stevenson mainly show?A.Things people can see on a swing.B.The simple excitement of children.C.The excitement of living in the countryside.D.The joyful experience of a child on a swing.11.The purpose of the text is to ________.A.tell readers how to write poemsB.recommend a beautiful poemC.help readers better understand poetryD.explain why poetry is worth readingDIf you're like me, you know that multitasking does not always save time. You slow down or make mistakes that require fixing. But_maybe_I'm_just_doing_the_wrong_things. Because a new study shows that people on a stationary bike pedaled faster when they took part in some sort of mental test at the same time.Even the researchers were surprised by that result. They originally set out to prove what other studies showed: when people try to do two things at one time, they do both more poorly. Their finding is in the journal PLOS ONE.In the experiment, subjects were asked to complete various cognitive (认知的) jobs that ranged in difficulty —everything from saying “go” when they saw a blue star on a projection screen to remembering a long list of numbers and then repeating them in reverse order. They did these tasks once while sitting in a quiet room and again while on the bike.It turns out that cyclists rode 25 percent faster when they were distracted by some mental gymnastics. But only when the tasks were relatively easy. When confronted with tough brainteasers, their cycling speeds were about the same as when they had nothing in particular to think about.

选项中有两项为多余选项。
I live in Japan, where electronic items are a way of life, so it is no surprise that many students carry these little electronic dictionaries. E-dictionaries may be light and compact(简洁的) than any paper dictionary. __1__ It depends on which one you buy. To me, these are pretty much the limits to their advantages.I think e-dictionaries should be limited in their use in classrooms. __2__E-dictionaries are much more expensive. In Japan, they cost as little as 10,000 yen (US$100)much as 40,000 yen, depending on how many functions you want (or think you want) and depending on how fashionable you are. My trusty Random House paper dictionary is copyrighted at 1995, costing me a mere US$12.95 plus tax.E-dictionaries are more fragile(易碎的). Drop your paper dictionary. Go ahead. Hold it above your head and drop it. __3__E-dictionaries need batteries. Batteries are temperature sensitive. Batteries cost money, too.E-dictionaries have keypads. Typing in the spelling of a word is harder and more time consuming than looking through pages and using the index at the top of each page.__4__ Such little devices beep(嘟嘟声) when you press the buttons, but it is very disturbing to some people in a classroom situation or library.Finally, let's consider making corrections or additions. No dictionary is perfect, paper version or electronic. However, when you find something you'd like to change in the e-dictionary, you can't do anything about it. You can pencil in some notes with the paper type. Similarly, if you learn a word that isn't in the dictionary, a few notes of a pencil make it easy to increase its memory capacity.__5__ And, for those students whose habit is to mark certain words with a highlight pen for ease of future reference, again, the paper dictionary wins out.A.But it is impossible to do so with a keypad model.B.They may even contain more words and expressions.C.Sometimes e-dictionaries trouble you and you really don't know how to get rid of them.D.Now, try this with any lightweight plastic e-dictionary, and you'll be picking up the pieces.E.That huge, heavy paper dictionary that you see in your library looks like a building block in size and weight.F.E-dictionaries have advantages as well as disadvantages.G.Let's take a look at the following reasons.答案:1.B 2.G 3.D 4.C 5.AⅡ.阅读表达阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

Module 1 课下能力提升(一)阅读理解AInformal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about your family and be sure to show pictures of your children. You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be interesting — and they can cover pretty much or any topic — as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent manner.In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious business relationship they're trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.As a general rule, it's best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing one's salary is ususlly considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticise a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host's team.1.The underlined word “harmonious” most probably m eans “________”.A.competitive B.friendly and peacefulC.original D.sensitive2.The writer thinks politics and religion are ________ for business.A.cheerful topics B.taboosC.rude topics D.wise topics3.Which is typically a friendly topic in most places according to the author?A.Sports. B.Children.C.Personal feelings. D.Families.BSmall talk is a very short conversation used by individual to kill time and make the other person feel comfortable in his presence. However, sometimes you should be careful of your topics.There are certain “safe” topics that people usually discuss.The weather is probably the number one thing that people who do not know each other well discuss. Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or start a conversation.Another topic that is generally safe is current events. As long as you are not discussing a controversial_issue,_such as a recent law concerning equal rights, it is usually safe to discuss that. Entertainment and sports news is another good topic. If there is something that you and the other person have in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. For example, if the bus is extremely full and there are no seats available, you might talk about the reasons why. Similarly, people in an office might casually discuss the new paint or furniture.There are also some subjects that are not considered acceptable when making small talk.Discussing personal information such as salaries or a recent divorce is unacceptable between people who do not know each other well. Compliments on clothing or hair are acceptable; however, you should never say something (good or bad) about a person's body.Negative comments about another person not involved in the conversation are also not acceptable. When you do not know a person well you cannot be sure who their friends are. You do not talk about private issues either, because you do not know if you can trust the other person with your secrets or personal information. Lastly, it is not wise to continue talking about an issue that the other person does not seem comfortable withor interested in.4.What does the passage mainly tell us?A.Why do people make small talk?B.What topics do people choose when making small talk?C.What is small talk?D.In which situations do people make small talk?5.Which of the following is NOT the best topic when you make small talk?A.Beautiful day, isn't it?B.Did you watch the news today?C.Have you got a boyfriend?D.What do you think of the new computers?6.The underlined part “controversial issue” in the fourth paragraph most probably me ans “________”.A.debatable questionB.acceptable questionC.private questionD.interesting question7.How is the text organized?A.①②③④/⑤⑥⑦ B.①②③④/⑤/⑥⑦C.①/②/③④/⑤⑥⑦ D.①/②③④/⑤⑥⑦CAre you sick of feeling your tongue turn to a lump of (一块) coal whenever you meet a small talk situation? Follow these smart tips, and you'll become a great conversationalist making lasting impressions wherever you go.Debra Fine, author of The Fine Art of Small Talk, says that connecting with people through conversation doesn't always come instinctively(出于本能地). That means you need much training to improve your speaking abilities. First, have around three things to talk about before you head for an interview. Second, think of four questions you can ask that will make the other person chat. Finally, if you've met the person before, mention something of the previous conversation or introduction to show your interest.The awkward moment when the other person didn't recognize you may make you feel hurt. Before you put too much pressure on a new relationship, be the first to say “hello”. You can release (释放) some pressure by saying, for example,“Stephanie Pratt? Hi, good to see you again.” Another way to put strangers at ease is to smile and shake their hands when you greet them.Small talk is always challenging at conferences or large events, especially when you don't know anyone. There's a reason why millions of people read the New York Times every day: to stay knowledgeable about the world they live in. If you find reading a daily newspaper too tedious,_find special topics that interest you. Learn the general news from News, CNN, or Google News. Build a conversation by asking, “Have you heard about ...?”Last, listening is an important part of small talk, especially when you're entering a conversation that's already in progress. If you want to leave a lasting impression, one of the best ways is to be a great listener. As you listen to others' experiences and opinions, you'll enlarge your knowledge about other cultures and nations, and finally become a more fascinating conversationalist.8.According to Debra Fine, ________.A.many people don't like small talkB.people with a good memory are good at talkingC.showing interest is the key to a good conversationD.conversation is a skill that needs training9.The purpose of small talk is to ________.A.reduce the pressure during a conversationB.build a connection and make a good impressionC.make a conversation more interestingD.enlarge the knowledge about other cultures10.The underlined word “tedious” in Para. 4 means “________”.A.short B.limitedC.boring D.formal11.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Purpose of small talkB.Topics of small talkC.Smart tips on small talkD.Art of listening in small talk课下能力提升(一)语篇解读:本文主要介绍了在商业交往中一些国家和地区倾向的闲聊的话题。

Module 3 课下能力提升(十二)Ⅰ.阅读理解True friends double your happiness and half your burdens. Basically how you would like a true friend to be is what you should be like to your true friends. Trust, forgiveness, responsibility are some elements of a true friendship.True friendships are hard to achieve. And what's more, life is short. So treasure these friends if you already have them. If you don't continue to search, because once you have them, life will become so much easier to live, no matter what happens. I have been through very difficult times and I dare say, without my friends, I would not have made it. Friendships need lots of energy and patience to maintain them, not to mention time. When your friends need you, and when things are not going too well on your side, it is often so easy to turn_a_deaf_ear_to their requests. It is especially during these times that you must find the strength to help your friends.And it is during these times that your friendship will be made stronger. And you must always be happy for their successes, even when things are not going too well for you. It might be hard to do this, but it is something that you need to learn.Think about all the sacrifices your friend has made for you and all the times when he was happy for you despite his own troubles. Think about all the happy times you enjoyed and the sad, difficult times you went through together. That should give you plenty of patience to actually be a true friend. Remember:true friends are the next best thing to family. They will always be your supporters.1.What is the best title for this passage?A.A precious friendshipB.A true friendC.A happy timeD.Friend, a treasure2.True friendships are hard to achieve because ________.A.friendships can help you through difficult timesB.friendships need lots of energy and patienceC.your friends need you to give more help to themD.you should be always on your friends' side3.The underlined phrase “turn a deaf ear to” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.A.pretend not to knowB.take no measures toC.have no means toD.turn to a deaf forⅡ.任务型阅读Five Things to Do in a Traffic JamTired of traffic jams?

模块综合测评(二)Modules 3~4Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AThe opera house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one of the most beautiful opera houses in the United States.It is small and open, with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience.This opera house in the mountain is one of the best opera houses in the country, which may seem surprising because performances are only given during seven weeks in the summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city.One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers.They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday, and they work hard to become wellknown during the summer.The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras (管弦乐队) and operas in the country during their vacations.They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe, which is near both the mountains and the desert.It is very beautiful there in summer.The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country, and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera.Still, most of the audience do come from Santa Fe and other nearby cities,and all the seats in the theater are sold for every show.There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, and that is the cold weather.Because the theater is open, performances cannot start before it gets dark at nine o'clock in the evening, and then the mountain air becomes very cool.Sometimes people complain about the cold air, but because the operas are good, these people come back again wearing warm coats.1.This passage mainly introduces .A.a mountain city B.young musiciansC.an opera house D.the tourists in Santa Fe【解析】主旨大意题。

the world the clock strikes midnight on June 20th,his followers will flock to get their paws on one of more than 10m copies of “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”.Bookshops will open in the middle of the night and delivery firms are drafting in extra staff and bigger trucks.Related toys,games,DVDs and other merchandise will be everywhere.There will be no escaping Pottermania.Yet Mr.Potter's world is a curious one,in which things are often not what they appear.While an excitable media(hereby including The Economist,happy to support such a fine example of globalization)is helping to hype the launch of J.K.Rowling's fifth novel,about the most adventurous thing that the publishers(Scholastic in America and Britain's Bloomsbury in English elsewhere)have organized is a reading by Ms Rowling in London's Royal Albert Hall,to be broadcast as a live webcast.Hollywood,which owns everything else to do with Harry Potter,says it is doing even less.Incredible as it may seem,the guardians of the brand say that,to protect the Potter franchise,they are trying to maintain a low profile.Well,relatively low.Ms Rowling signed a contract in 1998 with Warner Brothers,part of AOL Time Warner,giving the studio exclusive film,licensing and merchandising rights in return for what now appears to have been a steal:some $500 000.Warner licenses other firms to produce goods using Harry Potter characters or images,from which Ms Rowling gets a big enough cut that she is now wealthier than the queen—if you believe Britain's Sunday Times rich list.The process is self-generating:each book sets the stage for a film,which boosts book sales,which lifts sales of Potter products.Globally,the first four Harry Potter books have sold some 200m copies in 55 languages;the two movies have grossed over $1.8 billion at the box office.This is a stunning success by any measure,especially as Ms Rowling has long demanded that Harry Potter should not be over commercialized.In line with her wishes,Warner says it is being extraordinarily careful,at least by Hollywood standards,about what it licenses and to whom.It imposed tough conditions on Coca Cola,insisting that no Harry Potter images should appear on cans,and is now in the process of making its licensing programme even more restrictive.Coke may soon be considered too mass market to carry the brand at all.56When the author says “there will be no escaping Pottermania”,he implies that______.A.Harry Potter's appeal for the readers is simply irresistibleB.it is somewhat irrational to be so crazy about the magic boyC.craze about Harry Potter will not be over in the near futureD.Hogwarts school of magic will be the biggest attraction world over57Ms Rowling's reading in London's Royal Albert Hall is mentioned to show______.A.publishers are really adventurous in managing the Potter's businessB.businesses are actually more credible than media in Potter's worldC.the media are promoting Pottermania more actively than HollywoodD.businesses involved with Potter are moving along in an unusual way58The author believes that______.A.Britain's Sunday Times rich list is not very convincing as it soundsB.Time Warner's management of licenses is a bit over commercializedC.other firms may produce goods using Harry Potter images at willD.what Ms Rowling got in return for her offering to Warner is a real bargain59Paragraph 4 intends mainly to show Warner's______.A.determination to promote PotterB.consistence in conducting businessC.high regard for Ms Rowling's requestD.careful restrictions on licensing to Coco-ColaBWhat do literary greats Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Robert Burns have in common?They both lived and wrote in Edinburgh,along with many other big names in the field of literature.This fact helped UNESCO(联合国教科文组织)award the city the title of world's first City of Literature.Edinburgh left a lasting impression on Arthur Conan Doyle(1859-1930).Although he was born there he went to school in England but returned home for medical school.After graduating he moved to London and began writing his Sherlock(私家侦探)Holmes stories.His inspiration for the character came from one of his professors at university.Holmes' methods were so clever that they actually furthered the advance of the study of criminology(犯罪学).Robert Burns(1759-1796)is still regarded as Scotland's national poet,more than 200 years after his death.He is celebrated all over the world through translations of his work and the annual Burns Night supper on his birthday.One of his songs,My Love is Like a Red Red Rose ranks among the finest love songs ever written and Auld Lang Syne(友谊地久天长)is sung all around the world.As one of the first literate societies in Europe,the Scottish Parliament passed the world's first compulsory education law in 1496.By the 1790s,almost all Scots could read.Visitors to Scotland often observed that even the lowest members of society had copies of Burns' poems and other books.60Edinburgh was awarded the title of world's first City of Literature because ______.A.the first award ceremony of literature was held thereB.many literary greats like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Robert Burns were born thereC.it left a deep impression on many literary greats like Sir Arthur Conan DoyleD.many literary greats like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Robert Burns often wrote about it 61Arthur Conan Doyle was remembered mainly for his ______.A.detective storiesB.love poems and songsC.contribution to the study of criminologyD.clever writing skill62In honor of Robert Burns,______.A.My Love is Like a Red Red Rose and Auld Lang Syne are sung all around the worldB.his works are translated into many languages every yearC.a celebration is held more than 200 years after his deathD.a celebration is held every year on his birthday63In the last paragraph,the writer mainly discussed ______.A.the impression of visitors to ScotlandB.how Burns' poems are popular in ScotlandC.the possible history reasons for many literary greats in ScotlandD.how the world's first compulsory education law was madeCNow,it's time for some brief news items.Teens Go OnlineSome 13 million European children under 18 use the Internet for schoolwork,games and music according to research done by Nielsen's “Net-rating”.The study covered Britain,Germany,France,Italy and Spain.Experts advised parents to limit the time their kids spend on line and keep them away from chat room.Chat To the Magic MumBritish author J.K.Rowling,mother of magic boy Harry Potter,will do an internet interview about her new book “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” on June 26.Before the event,children are invited to send their questions about Harry to the website.The book will hit stores in the US and UK on June 21 and will arrive in China in August.School SoldiersRussian school students will have to do basic military training in their final year of school,the government has decided.The reason will include learning to fire guns,marching drills and how to deal with a chemical,nuclear or biological attack.The activity is seen as part of a drive toward the education of love for their country.Is it hard for you to get up ready for classes?Some students at Winter Park High School just roll out of bed in their pajamas and go to class in their own bedrooms.Of course,their teachers and classmates do not see them because all their class work is on the computer.The Florida High School,the state's only online school,has 250 students who are taking classes at home by computer.Students in this first online program take classes in algebra(代数),American government,chemistry,computer,economics,and web-page design.They also have to go to

B.France.C.Sweden. D.Spain.65Why will Russian school students have basic military training?A.To get ready for a military parade.B.To learn to protect themselves.C.To gain some military knowledge.D.To develop their love

an Internet interview.B.Children will meet Harry Potter's mother.C.The Harry Potter book will be available on the Internet.D.The Harry Potter book will arrive in China in early June.DAleksandr Pushkin(普希金)could have led a very comfortable life,just like any other child who was born into a rich,aristocratic(贵族的)family.But if he had led an easy life,perhaps he would not be known as the greatest Russian poet.The great man is celebrated at the Pushkin Festival,which falls on the first Sunday of June.Pushkin published his first poem when he was only 14 years old.By the time he left a school for aristocratic youngsters in 1817,his talent was widely recognized.The promising young man accepted a post at the foreign office in St.Petersburg.The poet could have become a big name in Russian politics.But over time he began to speak for other writers that thought the same way.He wrote political poems such as “ODE TO LIBERTY(《自由颂》)”.Pushkin also met members of a political group that later organized an uprising.Several members were arrested and killed and hundreds of people were sent to Siberia.Although Pushkin was in danger,he never denied his friendship with them.Even when the Tsar(沙皇)asked him which side he was on,Pushkin said he supported the group.His behavior made the government angry and he was sent away.Pushkin continued to write poems about the simple joys of everyday people.His masterpiece is the novel in verse “EUGENE ONEGIN(《叶甫盖尼奥涅金》)”.The poetry can only be compared to Mozart's music.“Pushkin pours out our Russian soul—happy,suffering,generous,confused,glorious and unsure,” said one Russian critic.Pushkin died young,at the age of 37 after being forced into a duel(决斗).It is said that his wife had many admirers and that she had an affair with an officer.He challenged the man to a duel that left both men injured.Pushkin died two days later.68Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Pushkin was a great man who led a comfortable life.B.Pushkin was a member of the group,which later organized an uprising.C.There is still a festival to memorize Pushkin in Russia.D.Pushkin was born into a political family.69From the passage,we can infer that ______.A.Pushkin's talent was widely recognized when he published his first poemB.Pushkin wasn't an intellect because he supported the group that later organized an uprising C.Pushkin used to be a popular poet loved by every Russian at his timeD.Pushkin treasured love and friendship very much70What is the passage mainly about?A.The progress Pushkin made in writing.B.Pushkin's poems.C.Important events in Pushkin's life.D.Pushkin's love and death.71Which of the following words best describe Pushkin's life?A.Illegal and challenging.B.Perfect and attractive.C.Difficult but meaningful.D.Ridiculous and meaningless.ECARDIFF,Wales—Poets,singers and musicians from across the globe gathered Wales to celebrate the tradition of storytelling.“It might seem strange that people still want to listen in age of watching television,but this is an unusual art form whose time has come again,” said David Ambrose,director of Beyond the Border,an international storytelling festivals in Wales.“Some of the tales,like those of the Inuit from Canada,are thousands of years old.So our storytellers have come from distant lands to connect us with the distance of time,” he said early this month.Two Inuit women,both in their mid 60s,are among the few remaining who can do throat singing,which has few words and much sound.Their art is governed by the cold of their surroundings,forcing them to say little but listen attentively.Ambrose started the festival in 1993,after several years of working with those reviving(coming back into use or existence)storytelling in Wales.“It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions,and as all the Welsh are storytellers,it was in_good_hands here,” Ambrose said.72Ambrose believes that the art of storytelling ______.A.will be more popular than TVB.will be popular againC.started in WalesD.are in the hands of some old people73From the tales told by the

in Wales.D.Storytelling did not come back until 1993 in Wales.75The underlined words “in good hands” mean ______.A.controlled by rich peopleB.grasped by good storytellersC.taken good care

Nelle Harper Lee was born on April 28, 1926, in Monroeville, Alabama. As a child, Harper Lee was a tomboy (假小子). She fought on the playground. She talked back to teachers, and she was bored with school. In high school Lee was lucky enough to have a gifted English teacher, Gladys Watson Burkett, who made her fall in love with literature and taught her h ow to write well. There Lee loved nineteenthcentury British authors best, and once said that her dream was to become “the Jane Austen of South Alabama”.After leaving high school, she went to the University of Alabama. There she found a second home on the campus newspaper. Eventually she became editorinchief of the Rammer Jammer, a quarterly humor magazine on campus. She entered the law school, but she loathed it. Despite her father's hope that she would become a local attorney (律师) like her sister Alice, Lee went to New York for her writing.
She spent eight years working small jobs before she finally showed a manuscript (手稿) to Tay Hohoff, an editor at J.B. Lippincott. At this point, it was more like a string of stories than the novel that Lee wanted to write. Under Hohoff's guidance, two and a half years of rewriting followed. Finally the novel was ready for publication.
To Kill a Mockingbird was published in 1960 to highly favorable reviews and quickly climbed the bestseller lists, where it remained for eightyeight weeks. In 1961, the novel won the Pulitzer Prize. To Kill a Mockingbird has sold more than thirty million copies in eighteen languages. In 2011, President Obama awarded Nelle Harper Lee the National Medal of Arts.
