21．（6分）Following Mo Yan' s Nobel Prize last October, the usually silent Chinese literary circle got warmed up again. A Shanghai writer named Jin Yucheng surprised nearly everyone by making his new novel full of Shanghai dialect(方言).
Published last month, the350,000-word Blossoms (Fan Hua) is a novel about the changes in Shanghai over 30 years, drawing clear images of the city through the stories of many common people. There is no main story like most novels, but every story in it could run independently. While Putonghua is the standard choice for Chinese literature today, Jin’s use of the Shanghai dialect appears both different and bold.
"I have seen too many novels that look similar to each other. Chinese literature is getting monotonous both in language and form. I want to be special with my own language, "Jin told the Global Times.
In the novel, Jin makes a breakthrough by mainly using dialogues to unfold various plots and represent typical characters on a daily basis.He also abandons the use of some punctuation like quotation marks (引号), showing a return to the traditional Chinese huaben genre(话本体).
Since its publication, the book has been widely recommended on Sina Weibo with many netizens (网民) rating the novel high for its unique use of dialect and vivid description of life using plain speech.
Jin said that he got the idea of, writing the novel while chatting in an online
forum(论坛) where people use the Shanghai dialect. The praise he received from the netizens encouraged him to continue writing the random stories.
"I'd like to see more writers to follow my lead. It will enrich our literature and make it diverse," he said.
1、What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A．The Chinese literary circle is always silent.
B．Mo Yan was suprised at Jin Yucheng' s new novel.

23．（8分）It may surprise bookworms, but apparently masterpieces such as Jane Eyre are lacking in something — sound effects. An electronic-book firm is adding background noises and music to the works of Charlotte Bronte, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and William Shakespeare in the hope of attracting younger readers. In one example, a description of rain lashing against a window in a Sherlock Holmes story will be “enhanced” with matching noises.
The first multimedia e-books — with sounds to accompany novels — will be available this Friday in the UK. The Booktrack releases are available to iPad users, with other tablet computer versions to follow. The concept is already in use in the U.S., where the classics come with added sound effects. Readers for example can hear the china cups chinking in Mr. Darcy’s garden as they read Pride And Prejudice.
A story by Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie will be released later in the year with a specially crafted orchestral score. Rushdie’s story In The South will be released with a soundtrack provided by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
The Power Of Six by Pittacus Lore, a novel for young adults, is one of the first to be tested with a soundtrack which builds in suspense in keeping with the plot. It works by timing the speed of each reader and the software measures the “turning” of a page and moves the music or sounds along accordingly. It has been created by Booktrack which synchronizes (使同步) music to each novel. It is funded by Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal.
Mr. Thiel said, “It’s always exciting to witness the creation of a new form of media. The technology promises to captivate readers in a different way.”
However, they have been greeted with horror by traditionalists, who say the technology takes away the pleasure of having one’s imagination stimulated by a story. They also raise the prospect (预期) of having to ask an overly eager reader to turn their book down. David Nicholls, whose bestseller One Day was recently turned into a film starring Anne Hathaway, said, “This sounds like the opposite of reading. It would be a distraction.”
1、What’s the purpose of the electronic-book firm adding sound effects to masterpieces? A．To add some creative factors to the e-books. B．To arouse interest of the readers. C．To satisfy the readers’ great need. D．To promote the technology progress.
2、Where was the idea that sounds are added to accompany novels first put forward? A．Britain. B．Australia. C．New Zealand. D．America.
3、The following should be done to make a soundtrack work, EXCEPT ________. A．measuring how long each reader spends in reading
B．increasing the volume of the music or sounds
C．making out the reading speed
D．changing the music or sounds with pages turned
4、What’s Mr. Thiel’ attitude to the future of the new form of media?
A．Doubtful. B．Indifferent. C．Hopeful. D．Negative.
24．（8分）Solar energy systems & power plants do not produce air pollution, water pollution, or greenhouse gases. Using solar energy can have a positive, indirect effect on the environment, when solar energy replaces or reduces the use of other energy sources that have larger effects on the environment.
However, some poisonous materials and chemicals are used to make the photovoltaic ( 光电池的) cells that convert sunlight into electricity. Some solar thermal (保热的) systems use potentially hazardous liquids to transfer heat. Leaks of these materials could be harmful to the environment. U. S. environmental laws regulate the use and settlement of these types of materials.
As with any type of power plant, large solar power plants can affect the environment near their locations. The placement of the power plant may have long-term effects on the habitats of native plants and animals. Some solar power plants may require water for cleaning solar collectors and concentrators or for cooling turbine generators. Using large volumes of ground water or surface water in some dry locations may affect the ecosystems that depend on these water resources. In addition, the beam of concentrated sunlight a solar power tower creates can kill birds and insects that fly into the beam.
The amount of solar energy that the earth receives each day is many times greater than the total amount of all energy that people consume each day. However, on the surface of the earth, solar energy is a variable and irregular energy source. The amount of sunlight and the intensity of sunlight varies by time of day and location. Weather and climate conditions affect the availability of sunlight daily and on a seasonal basis. The type and size of a solar energy collection and conversion system determines how much of the available solar energy we can convert into useful energy.
1、Which of the following best explains "hazardous" underlined in paragraph 2? A．inexpensive B．dangerous
C．ineffective D．abnormal
2、What influence can large solar power plants have on the locations?
A．Polluting the ground water.
B．Protecting the habitats of plants and animals.
C．Damaging the local natural balance.
D．Attracting birds and insects to the area.
3、What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A．Different areas receive different amount of solar energy.
B．How to convert solar energy into useful energy.
C．The relationship between solar energy collection and the sunlight.
D．Some factors that influence the amount of solar energy collection.
25．（10分）A woman lost the sight in one eye after going swimming in a pool at a hotel wearing contact lenses（隐形眼镜）. Jennie Hurst, from Southampton, suffered from a rare and painful infection caused by amoeba（变形虫）in water. The infection causes people to be sensitive to light and the 24-year-old said she had to stay in a dark room for three months. She is now warning of the dangers of swimming or showering wearing contacts.
Ms Hurst experienced four operations and a treatment in which she had eye drops every half hour. "During that time I stayed in my bedroom with black curtains at the window. The only thing I could do was to listen to the radio. One evening, I was so eager to look out of window to get a look of the outside world that I opened my curtains in the middle of the night. As soon as I did this the moon shone in my eyes and it really hurt. I didn't do that again. I have been left with no sight in my left eye and the damage to my right eye could be lasting," she said.
Ms Hurst had been wearing contact lenses for five years. "I don't even like swimming,"she said. "My friends were quite surprised that I had gone swimming and probably thought that I had been a bit lazy. I wasn't aware of the problem at all — it didn't even enter my brain to take them out. I felt responsible that I had let it happen when actually I could have just taken my contacts out."
1、What's the text mainly about?
A．The woman losing sight while swimming.
B．A rare infection caused by contact lenses.
C．An accident happening in a hospital.
D．The trouble of staying in a dark room.
2、Amer the operations, Jennie Hurst felt
A．frightened B．calm
C．regretful D．anxious
3、What does Jennie Hurst mean in the last paragraph?
A．She used to go swimming very often.
B．She has also been hurt in her brain.
C．She will be busy with her work in future.
D．She might be more careful when swimming next time.
4、What's the purpose of the text?
A．To analyze. B．To explain.
C．To warn. D．To encourage.

Dear Betty,
How time flies! I’ve been in Britain for nearly three months. And I’ve met with some trouble either in life and study recently. I’m writing to you for help.
First of all, I’m feeling exhausting and lonely. I am a totally stranger here. Beside, the western diet doesn’t agree for me at all! To make matters worse, I still found it hard to follow the native speakers though I have exposed to English for nine years. Meanwhile, I am afraid to answer questions in class for the lack of confidence. I wonder how to deal with the problems. I’d appreciate it that you could be so kind to give me some useful advices.
Looking forward to your reply.
Y ours,
Li Hua
