AArthur Miller (1915—2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream”. However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.Miller's most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment: if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success.He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway. 21．Why did Arthur Miller's father move to the USA?A. He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.B. He hoped to make his son a dramatistC.. He was attracted by the “Great American Dream.”D. His family business failed22．The play Death of a Salesman________.A. discusses the ways to get promoted in a companyB. exposes the cruelty of the American business worldC. talks about the business career of Arthur MillerD. focuses on the skills in doing business23．After it was first staged, Death of a Salesman________.A. won the first Tony AwardB. achieved huge successC. was warmly welcomed by salesmenD. was severely attacked by dramatistsBHome to me means a sense of familiarity（熟悉）and nostalgia(怀旧). It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain, lives, and some other experiences; We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween----when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime - waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, because I want to hear her say my name,which reminds me I'm home.24.

Teenagers are just the sort of people an online seller is interested in, and the things they want to buy — games, CDs and clothing — are easily sold on the Web.But paying online is a tricky business for consumers who are too young to own credit cards. Most have to use a paren t’s card. They want a service that allows them to spend money.That may come sooner than they think: new ways to take pocket money into cyber (网络的) space are coming out rapidly on both sides of the Atlantic. If successful, these products can stimulate (刺激)online sales.In general, teenagers spend huge amounts: $153bn (billion) in the US last year and ￡20bn annually in the UK．Most teenagers have access to the Internet at home or at school — 88 percent in the US, 69 percent in the UK. According to the Jupiter Research, one in eight of those with Internet access has bought something online — mainly CDs and books.In most cases, parents pay for these purchases with credit cards, an arrangement that is often unsatisfactory for them and their children. Pressing parents to spend online is less productive than pressing on the high street. They are more likely to ask “Why?” if you ask to spend some money online.One way to help teenagers change notes and coins into cyber cash is through prepaid cards such as Internet Cash in the US and Smart cards in the UK. Similar to（类似）those forpay-as-you-go mobile telephones, they are sold in amounts such as￡20 or $50 with a concealed (隐藏的) 14-digit number that can be used to load the cash into an online account.32. What does th e word “They” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Teenagers.B. Buyers.C. Sellers.D. Parents.33. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Most teenagers in the US and the UK have bought something online.B. Teenagers pay for goods online with their own credit cards.C. More than half of the teenagers in the US and the UK have Internet access．D. Teenagers found it easier to persuade parents to buy online than in a shop.34. A new way to help teenagers shop online is to use ________.A. a new machineB. special coins and notesC. pay-as-you-go mobile phonesD. prepaid cards35. What is the passage mainly about?A. Online shopping traps.B. Internet users in the US and the UK.C. The arrival of cyber pocket money.D. New credit cards for parents.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。
