he begins feeling homesick.Max sails back home and his supper is still hot when he arrives in his bedroom.
Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity and imagination. Melina Davis,an education professor,said she likes how the book contains a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “This allows children to shape the story themselves,” she said.
The book contains a few of larger words that some parents worry may confuse children,but experts say those words help improve children's reading skills and challenge them.
Davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story. “The book talks about what all children go through,like ‘I was naughty but my mommy still loves me'” Davis said.
The book also encourages children to face their fears.“I think it's really good to show that Max is friends with the monsters,” Davis said.“Kids can find out monsters aren't always the thing under the bed that's going to scare them.I think this is good because it shows that the children can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”
Since the book has been successful throughout the years,a movie was recently made and many people are excited to see it.Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little scary for younger children.“You don't want bad dreams over a book that's extremely wonderful'” Davis said. 36.Teachers and professors like the book Where the Wild Things Are because it helps children ________.

B
Susan Sontag (1933-2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature.For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything—to read every book worth reading,to see every movie worth seeing.When she was still in her early 30s,publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review,she appeared as the symbol of American cultural life,trying hard to follow every new development in literature,film and art.With great effort and serious judgment,Sontag_walked_at_the_latest_edges_of_world_culture.
Seriousness was one of Sontag's lifelong watchwords(格言),but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious,she argued for a true openness to the pleasures of pop culture.In“Notes on Camp”,the 1964 essay that first made her name,she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings,through which she could not have been more famous.“Notes on Camp”,she wrote,represents“a victory of ‘form' over‘content'‘beauty' over‘morals'”.
By conviction(信念)she was a sensualist(感觉论者),but by nature she was a moralist(伦理学者),and
in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s,it was the latter side of her that came forward.In Illness as Metaphor—published in 1978,after she suffered cancer—she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities(被压抑的个性) ,a concept that effectively blamed the victims for the disease.In fact,re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit.
In America,her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California,won the National Book Award in 2000.But it was as a tireless,all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame.“Sometimes,” she once said,“I feel that,in the end,all I am really defending ...is the idea of seriousness,of true seriousness.”And in the end,she made us take it seriously too. 41.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means Sontag________.
A.was a symbol of American cultural life
B.developed world literature,film and art
C.published many essays about world culture
D.kept pace with the newest development of world culture
答案D[推理判断题。
从时间上来讲,“最晚发生的”意思是“最新发生的”;而且前面也讲到Sontag努力跟文学、电影和艺术的新发展。
本句含义是“Sontag跟上世界文学最新发展的步伐”。
] 42.She first won her name through ________.
A.her story of a Polish, actress
B.her book Illness as Metaphor
C.publishing essays in magazines like Partisan Review
D.her explanation of a set of difficult understandings
答案D[推理判断题。
第二段讲到,Notes on Camp使她首次成名,而选项中没有这本文章的名字。
再看这句话,讲到在Notes on Camp这篇文章里,她解释了“a little-known set of difficult understandings”。
]
43.According to the passage,Susan Sontag ________.
A.was a sensualist as well as a moralist
B.looked down upon the pop culture
C.thought content was more important than form
D.blamed the victims of cancer for being repressed
答案A[推理判断题。
由第三段第一句“By conviction she was a sensualist,but by nature she was a moralist”,可知她既是感觉论者,又是伦理学者,因此选A项。
]
44.As for Susan Sontag's lifelong habit,she ________.
A.misunderstood the idea of seriousness
B.re-examined old positions
C.argued for an openness to pop culture
D.preferred morals to beauty
答案B[推理判断题。

] 45.Susan Sontag's lasting fame was made upon________.
A.a tireless,all-purpose cultural view
B.her lifelong watchword: seriousness
C.publishing books on morals
D.enjoying books worth reading and movies worth seeing
答案A[推理判断题。

C
Since we are social beings,the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships.One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful conditions.Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties.Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles(困难).People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties.Studies over types of illnesses,from depression to heart disease,show that the presence of social support helps people fend off(挡开) illness,and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways.First,friends,relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us.Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties.Second,other people often provide us with informational support.They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them.Third,we typically find social panionship supportive.Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting(转移注意力) us from our worries and troubles.Finally,other people may give us instrumental support—money aid,material resources,and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.
46.Interpersonal relationships are important because________.
A.they are indispensable (不可缺少的) to people's social well-being
B.they awaken people's desire to exchange resources
C.they help people to cope with life in the information era
D.they can cure a range of illnesses such as heart disease,etc.

A.relies on the social medical care systems which support them
B.has much to do with the amount of support they get from others
C.depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles
D.is closely related to their strength for coping with major changes in their lives
答案B[细节理解题。
由第一段第六句Studies over types of illnesses...可知,研究疾病所覆盖的范围,从抑郁症到心脏病,显示了社交帮助人们抵御疾病,而缺少社交则可能使身体变差;第二段第一句也指出,社交可以减缓压力,故选B。
]

] 49.Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of________.
A.instrumental support
B.informational support
C.social panionship
D.the strengthening of self-respect
答案A[推理判断题。
由第二段中Finally,other people may give us instrumental support-money aid,material resources,and needed services可知,人们可以给你提供工具性帮助,如资金帮助、物质原料以及所需服务等。
因比,帮助一位生病的邻居做修理工作,是instrumental support工具性帮助。
故选A。
]

A.it helps strengthen our ties with relatives
B.it enables us to eliminate our faults and mistakes
C.it makes our leisure-time activities more enjoyable
D.it draws our attention away from our worries and troubles

D
Imagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotion-a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness,no terror or hate.Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation. People might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure,anxiety nor fear,they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial.They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishments.Society would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support.Human relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies,there could be no marriage,affection among panions,or bonds (关系) among members of groups.Society's economic underpinnings (支柱) would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10,there would be no incentive to work. In fact,there would be no incentives of any kind,for as we will see,incentives imply a capacity to enjoy them.
In such a world,the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero,because emotions are the basic instruments of our survival and adaptation.Emotions structure the world for us in important ways.As individuals,we categorize objects on the basis of our emotions.True,we consider the length,shape,size,or texture,but an object's physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us-hurt us,surprise us,anger us or make us joyful.We also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families,munities,and overall society.Out of our emotional experiences with objects and events es a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are “good” and others are “bad”,and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life—from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will accept.In fact,society uses our emotional reactions and attitudes,such as loyalty morality,pride shame,guilt,fear and greed,in order to maintain itself.It gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as
flying fighter planes in a war,and uses the legal penal (刑法的) system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts.
51.Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?
A.People would not be able to tell the texture of objects.
B.People would not know what was beneficial and what was harmful to them.
C.$10 million is equal to $10 in a world without emotions.
D.There would be full of lies,arguments and violence.
答案B[ 细节理解题。
A项第一段未提及。
第一段中“...since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10,”并没表达$10 million等于$10的意思,C项是对该句话的曲解。
通过“a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate”可知D项是错误答案。
]
52.It can be inferred from the passage that the economic foundation of society is dependent on ________.
A.the ability to make money
B.the capacity to work
C.the stimulus to work
D.the categorizations of our emotional experiences
答案C[推理判断题。
从第一段“since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no incentive to work. In fact, there would be no incentives of any kind,for as we will see, incentives imply a capacity to enjoy them.”可知人们工作的积极性是需要“incentives =stimulus”来调动的。
]
53.Emotions are significant for man's survival and adaptation because________.
A.they provide the means by which people view the size or shape of objects
B.they are the basis for the social feeling of agreement by which society is maintained
C.they encourage people to perform dangerous achievements
D.they produce more love than hate among people
答案B[细节理解题。
人类对事物的形状大小的认知并不来源于情感,所以A项存在错误。
根据第二段末句“It gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war,”可知是社会利用情感让人们去从事危险事情,而非情感鼓励人类这么去做,C实属偷梁换柱。
D项文中并未表达该意。
]
54.Why are the emotional aspects of an object more important than its physical aspects?
A.They help society use its members for profit.
B.They encourage us to perform important tasks.
C.They help to perfect the legal and penal system.
D.They help us adapt our behaviors to the world surrounding us.
答案D[细节理解题。
通过第二段“In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instruments of our survival and adaptation. ”可知情感可以帮助我们适应环境。
]
55.What is the text mainly about?
A.People could only live in a world with emotions.
B.People would always do bad things in the emotionless world.
C.Emotions are very important in the world.
D.Emotions structure the world for us in important ways.
答案C[主旨大意题。
第一段的描述向人们展示没有感情的世界有多么的可怕,第二段进一步说明事物的情感方面比其自然方面要重要得多。
由此可知本文主要讲情感的重要性。

Dear_Nigel,
I'm_writing_to_tell_you what I think about the movie you remended called “Pride&Prejudice”.The story is based on Jane Austen's novel about five sisters in England.Their lives are turned upside down when a wealthy young man,Mr.Bingley,and his best friend Mr.Darcy arrive in their neighborhood.MacFadyen,who plays the part of Darcy in the movie,is an outstanding actor! Another great addition is Keira Knightly.She is a jewel.Her beauty and her excellent acting add a great deal to the movie.
In addition,the scenery,the backgrounds,and the other actors seemed much realer than those in previous versions.The costumes and hairstyles also seemed to keep up with the times.Personally,I only wish the movie was 6 hours long.
