AGrading Policies for Introduction to LiteratureGrading Scale90—100, A; 80 —90, B; 70 —79, C; 60 —69, D; Below 60, E.Essays (60%)Students will work in groups to complete four assignments (作业) during the course. All the assignments will be submitted by the assigned date through Blackboard, our online learning and course management system.Daily Work / InClass Writings and Tests / Group Work / Homework (10%)Class activities will vary from day to day, but students must be ready to complete short inclass writings or tests drawn directly from assigned readings or notes from the previous class’ lecture/discussion, so it is important to take carefulnotes during class. Additionally, from time to time I will assign group work to be completed in class or short assignments to be completed at home, both of which will be graded.Late WorkAn essay not submitted in class on the due date will losea letter grade for each class period it is late. If it is not turned in the the 4th day after the due date, it will earn a zero. Daily assignments not completed during class will get a zero. Short writings missed as a result of an excused absence will be accepted.21. Where is this text probably taken from?A. A textbook.B. An exam paper.C. A course plan.D. An academic article.22.

You will lose a letter grade.C. You will be given a test.D. You will have to rewrite it.BLike most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goesto waste. The arugula (芝麻菜) was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, “food waste goes against the moral grain,” as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month’s cover story. It’s jawdropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away —from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vege tables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.Producing food that no one eats waste the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, R oyte writes, “if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”If that’s hard to understand, let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time —but for him, it’s more like 12 boxes of donated strawberries nearing their last days.Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington D.C., which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished (有瑕疵的) produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.Such methods seem obvious, y et so often we just don’t think. “Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won’t eat,” Curtin says.24. What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story?A. We pay little attention to food waste.B. We waste food unintentionally at times.C. We waste more vegetables than meat.D. We have good reasons for wasting food.25. What is a consequence of food waste according to the text?A. Moral decline.B. Environmental harm.C. Energy shortage.D. Worldwide starvation.26. What does Curtin’s company do?A. It produces kitchen equipment.B. It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.C. It helps local farmers grow fruits.D. It makes meals out of unwanted food.27. What does Curtin suggest people do?A. Buy only what is needed.B. Reduce food consumption.C. Go shopping once a week.D. Eat in restaurants less often.CThe elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely. The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduc e loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.Among those taking part in the project is 80yearold Ruth Xavier. She said, “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.” There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said, “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said, “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”28. What is the purpose of the project?A. To ensure harmony in care homes.B. To provide parttime jobs for he aged.C. To raise money for medical research.D. To promote the elderly people’s welfare.29. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier?A. She has learned new life skills.B. She has gained a sense of achievement.C. She has recovered her memory.D. She has developed a strong personality.30. What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7?A. Improve.B. Oppose.C. Begin.D. Evaluate.31. What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs?A. It is well received.B. It needs to be more creative.C. It is highly profitable.D. It takes ages to see the results.DHuman speech contains more than 2,000 different sounds, from the common “m” and “a” to the rare clicks of some southern African languages. But why are certain sounds more common than others? A groundbreaking, fiveyear study shows that dietrelated changes in human bite led to new speech sounds that are now found in half the world’s languages.More than 30 years ago, the scholar Charles Hockett noted that speech sounds called labiodentals, such as “f” and “v”, were more common in the languages in society that ate softer foods. Now a team of researchers led by Damian Blasi at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, has found how and why this trend arose.They discovered the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human adults were aligned(对齐), making it hard to produce labiodentals, which are formed by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth. Later, our jaws changed to an overbite structure (结构), making it easier to produce such sounds. The team showed that this change in bite was connected with the development of agriculture in the Neolithic period. Food became easier to chew at this point. The jawbone didn’t have to do as much work and so didn’t grow to be so large. Analyses of a language database also confirmed that there was a global change in the sound of world languages after the Neolithic age, with the use of “f” and “v” increasing remarkably during the last few thousand years. These sounds are still not found in the languages of many huntergatherer people today.This research overturns the popular view that all humanspeech sounds were present when human beings evolved around 300,000 years ago. “The set of speech sounds we use has not necessarily remained stable since the appearance of human beings, but rather the huge variety of speech sounds that we find today is the product of a complex interplay of things like biological change and cultural evolution,” said Steven Moran,a member of the research team.32. Which aspect of the human speech sound does Damian Blasi’s research focus on?A. Its variety.B. Its distribution.C. Its quantity.D. Its development.33. Why was it difficult for ancient human adults to produce labiodentals?A. They had fewer upper teeth than lower teeth.B. They could not open and lose their lips easily.C. Their jaws were not conveniently structured.D. Their lower front teeth were not large enough.34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A. Supporting evidence for the research results.B. Potential application of the research findings.C. A further explanation of the research methods.D. A reasonable doubt about the research process.35. What does Steven Moran say about the set of human speech sounds?A. It is key to effective communication.B. It contributes much to cultural diversity.C. It is a complex and dynamic system.D. It drives the evolution of human beings.其次节(共5小题;每题2.5分,总分 12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最正确选项。

I am writing to invite you to an interview in this program.As you know, “talk and talk”, designed to expose students to authentic English environment, has been gaining tremendous currency, where knowledge concerning English and culture is displayed through interviews with foreign teachers, lectures, and so on. In response to students’ request, this Friday afternoon, specifically at 3:00 p.m., you are invited to be interviewed during the show to talk about the development of English idioms.I am confident that your involvement will add much spice to the show. Looking forward to your earliest reply.Yours sincerelyLi hua读后续写范文We sat down together on some steps, but David wouldn’t look at me. I quietly said, “If you’re not running just because you’re afraid you will be laughed at, that’s not a good reason. The real question is whether you are going to let those few people stop you from doing something you really want to do. Are you going to let them get in your way?” I held my breath as David took this in. Then he looked at the field and said with a determination, “I’m going to run.”I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. He looked back at me and I signaled to him with a thumbs up, feeling proud of him. He smiled, took a deep breath and got ready for the race. When the running began, he ran with all his strength, in spite of his abnormal steps. Eventually, he finished the running. Nearly out of breath, he walked to me and then gave me a hug. “Thank you!” he uttered, “Without you, I would never taste such sense of achievement of challenging myself.”Text 1M: Jenny, you can just drop me here.W: But we're two streets away from the office.M: It's fine. I had a big breakfast and feel like a bit of walk.Text 2W: Hello, George. you looked tired? Didn't sleep last night?M: No, not at all. I had to work flat out to meet the project deadline. I'm really feeling a bit rundown.Text 3W: John, can't we go to some place and talk? It's so noisy in here.M: Well. There's a small park across the street. It's usually not crowded at this time of day.Text 4W: We've got to do something about the neighbor’s dog.M: Why has he been into your flower garden again?W: The flower garden, the garbage can. And yesterday he started digging holes in the yard.Text 5M: Hello. We have a reservation in the name of Mr. Jones. Is there any table by the window?W: Sorry. We've got this corner table for you. It's quiet here, not close to the door.Text 6W: Dave, don't forget we are invited out to dinner tonight.M: Oh? Yea. I almost forgot. What time?W: 7:30. We should leave the house by 6:30. How bad the traffic is that time of night?M: It's informal, isn't it?W: Yes. You can wear your new sports jacket. The one I got you as an anniversary gift.M: Ok. Well. I've got to go. I'll try to get home a little earlier today.W: Good.Text 7M: We need to decide exactly when we're going to move. Any suggestions?W: I think July would be the best time. Our sales are always down that month. We could move all the office equipment at a weekend, do everything at once.M: I think a weekends too short. Maybe we should do it department by department.W: What do you mean?M: Well. Each week a different department would move. That way, there would always be people here to handle customer inquiries, phone calls, and so on.W: It's a good idea.Text 8W: So, Mr. Peter Cell, I'd be curious to know what were the early connections in your life that led you into the art field?M: My grandfather was an art dealer in Munich. They had a great museum in Munich. He took me to the museum and I responded very strongly to what I saw on the walls there. I learned about art from him, I learned aboutlooking at art from him. I think that's what really got me started. Then many years later, after I got out of the army, I went to study art history at the University of Chicago.W: Tell us more about your experiences of looking at art with your grandfather.M: Well, we looked at the famous paintings by the great artists like Rembrandt's, Botticelli's and Albrook Durer’s. Rubens paintings were my favorites. I remember these things. This was when I was between 10 and 15, when I was 14, I was so anxious to see more art that a friend of mine and I bicycle across the Alps to see Venice. That was a big adventure.Text 9W: Hi, John. Haven't seen you for ages.M: Hi. Susan. Fancy meeting you here on the train.W: How is your college life?M: What can I say? I've survived.W: What happened?M: Well, early last March, I started doing a part time job in a law firm. A few weeks before I had started writing my term paper, I thought I could finish it by August.W: That was a pretty good idea trying to have some work experience.M: For the first 3 weeks, you know, I tried. I got up early and worked for an hour on my paper before going to work, but work was so fun. I met tons of new people and soon I couldn't find even a minute for my paper. So I had to quit my part time job and finally finished my paper in October.W: It's never too late to mend. It's kind of hard to find a balance between what you have to do and what you want to do yeah.M: It's really important for me to balance study and work. And I think I should learn to exercise some self-control.Text 10M: Being an athlete is very fun, painful and exciting. Every time I come to the track, I feel like I'm out of this place. This is Botswana national stadium. This is where I train. When I saw Usain Bolt running in 2012 London Olympics, I was amazed, just watching him run, got me motivated. I quit being a chess player and started to run. I went to the 2016 Olympics and went to the finals at the age of 18. And, wow. I finished fifth. It was a dream come true to me, but I still wanted more. The training is super hard. But the hardest part for me is that I got an injury. And The injury may take me out for years. For a period of time, as a young athlete, I didn't know what to do. I lost focus. But now I'm back on the track. I really want to be there at the Olympics and do what I did before. Do much, much greater. I don't care about the gold, I don't care about the silver. I want to do my best. You know, take everything and show it to the world.。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Then I woke up and thanked my lucky stars enthusiastically that it had been only a dream. I lay quietly in bed the following morning and wondered (25) ____ I had come to have such a terrible dream.Never would I consider the idea of jumping off a bridge with or without a springy wire. Then I remembered I (26) ____ (see) a film on the television the night before showing some students bungee jumping. The funny thing about this strange sport is (27) ____ you often see people jumping off but you never see them come back.(28) ____ I said, in no circumstances could I be persuaded to do it for the simple reason (29) ____ I am afraid of heights. I remember once sitting (30) ____ (shock) at my desk at work listening to a colleague describing how he had jumped out of a plane by parachute on one occasion in order to raise some money for charity. I can recall how I almost fell off my chair in fear. No sooner had he finished telling his story (31) ____ I had to get up and go and lie down quietly in a darkened room. I can still remember one incident (32) ____ illustrates my fear of heights – I haven’t got over it yet and it’s still very vivid in my mind.(B)Every regulation has secondary effects and these effects areoften contrary to the regulators’ objectives. Th erefore, it is impossible to regulate just one aspect of human behavior.Economic theory (33) ____ be a powerful tool in predicting the occurrence of these unwanted side effects and in suggesting ways in which they can be avoided through a careful structuring of the law. Our study of the Ohio experience shows that (34) ____ (increase) the conviction rate for drunken driving can reduce the happening of alcohol-related accidents but at the cost of more alcohol-related hit-and-runs. (35) ____ (reduce) the significance of this secondary effect, the authority can at the meantime consider more severe punishment for drivers who flee the scene of (36) ____ accident. Indeed, the Ohio state authority is currently considering a bill that would raise the hit-and-run punishment to (37) ____ for drunken driving. This, however, might also make bribery relatively (38) ____ (attractive), which in turn might result in other changes in the law. These measures (39) ____ (take) only to illustrate what we mean (40) ____ the “structure” of a regulation, and its importance for individual behavior. There is still much to be learned about various regulatory structures and the effects they have on human behavior.Section B (10分)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. arguedB. contentC. determineD. diverseE. particularF. identifiedG. awarenessH. pursuingI. persuasionJ. circumstanceK. makingSCIENTISTS study it. An increasing number of self-help books tell us the way to find it. In fact, ___41___ happiness has been called the ultimate goal in life by countless talks, TV shows andnewspaper and magazine columns. However, happiness, as it was before, is still hard to find.US psychologist Ed Diener, author of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth, may have the answer:“a combination of life satisfaction and having more positive than negative emotions”. This may sound straightforward (易懂的) enough, but it still doesn’t explain what can ___42___ people’s happiness. And as The Washington Post ___43___ in an article last month, creating a definition of happiness that is true for people around the world can seem as difficult as being happy.For example, who is happier: someone who has enough money to buy a new mobile phone or someone who has a family dinner after years away from home?Nevertheless, as many surveys suggest, one of the most important parts of happiness is wealth. The UN’s World Happiness Report 2015 shows that countries with the highest levels of happiness are developed ones, with Switzerland, Iceland and Denmark ___44___ up the top three. But on the other hand, Bhutan, one of the poorest countries in the world, was ___45___ as the happiest country in Asia and the eighth happiest in the world in research by Business Week in 2012.Perhaps the biggest problem is how the idea of “happiness” varies in ___46___ cultures and languages.As The Washington Post noted, the word “happy” can re fer to different things in English. It might mean a brief mood you feel when someone surprises you with a gift or you think of friends and family. Or it could refer to ___47___ with your life. But not all languages refer to happiness the same way. In Danish, for example, happiness is often translated as “lykke”, a term that can describe everyday well-being that might come from a nicecup of coffee or a slice of bread with cheese.In Chinese, the word for happiness is xingfu, which is used to describe a good life or a ___48___ that makes people feel free from worry. For a good mood, however, kuaile is used more often.Another difference in the ___49___ of happiness, as The Washington Post put it, is that Western countries tend to have quite an “individualistic view of human life”. In China and many other Asian countries, social relationships, with family in ___50___, are one of the most important factors in a person’s well-being.So, are you happy? And what makes you happy?III. Reading ComprehensionSection A (15分)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.To advertise effectively today, you must abandon the old-school idea of “reaching the masses”. All advertising is local and personal. The key to effective advertising today is to focus on the 51 .Some are the 52 ways every advertiser could work out. You can print a specific offer of your goods or service on door-hangers and place them on doorknobs in your area. Door-hangers on doorknobs will produce results in direct 53 about the strength of your offer. If you need to reach the drivers, flyer (宣传单) under windshield (挡风玻璃) wipers may have better effect than door-hangers. Imagine, how 54 if you hire someone to be a walking ad or launch a T-shirt advertising, 55 , you can print your products on T-shirts of your 56 . In the early 1970s “Hamp Baker says Drive with Care” was spray-painted on cars, which was a public service ad. Ever since, spray-painted sign has becomemore and more 57 .More grand ways are as follows: virtual showroom. Build a website to 58 a virtual showroom. Use it when people call to ask 59 about your company, your products or your services. Also you can even use an old slide projector to put on a nighttime show. They’re 60 effective, and in the long run, cheap. Nothing is quite as powerful as a public 61 that seizes the public’s attention. You can invite a band to give a performance. 62 , you can hire famous models to show it vividly.Nothing screams “expert” quite as loudly as a book written about a subject. You simply can’t 63 the power of your name on the cover of a book. You might only sell a few copies online, but the copies you give away in your town will make you a fortune. You won’t make money on the book. You’ll make it because of the book.Of course, word-of-mouth is the best way to promote your 64 . Friends and past customers recommend your products to their family, friends and colleagues. Word-of-mouth works because the 65 is based on previous positive experiences.51. A. content B. product C. individual D. style52. A. strange B. common C. amusing D. perfect53. A. description B. decision C. discussion D. permission54.

But books don’t change,people do.And that’s whatmakes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on ourpresent mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But withreading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now,because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their ownweight.There are three books I reread annually The first, which I take to reading every spring isEmest Hemningway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris.The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的),an aging writer looking back on an ambitiousyet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔)about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight: SelectedPoems, because poetry. And because Cortazar.While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifs, whichmightadd to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful andnecessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The bestbooks are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to growand read and reread in order to better understand your friends.24. Why does the author like rereading?A.It evaluates the writer-reader relationship.B.It’s a window to a whole new world.C.It’s a substitute for drinking with a friend.D. It extends the understanding of oneself.【分值】2分【答案】D25. What do we know about the book A Moveable Feas!?A. It’s a brief account of a trip.B. It’s about Hemingway’s life as a young man.C.

He teaches reading.【分值】2分【答案】ACRace walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.28. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?A. They must run long distances.B. They are qualified for the marathon.C. They have to follow special rules.D. They are good at swinging their legs.【分值】2分【答案】C29. What advantage does race walking have over running?A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.B. It’s less challenging physically.C. It’s more effective in body building.D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.【分值】2分【答案】D30 What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?A. Getting experts’ opinions.B. Having a medical checkup.C. Hiring an experienced coach.D. Doing regular exercises.【分值】2分【答案】A31.Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?A. Skeptical.B. Objective.C. TolerantD. Conservative.【分值】2分【答案】BDThe connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research.Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown,Ohio,for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime.In another,employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse,even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. "We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,"explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.One of his latest projects has been to make plants grow(发光)in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light,about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by,is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn tree into self-powered street lamps.in the future,the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off"switch"where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)—such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.32.

Issaya Siamese ClubIssaya Siamese Club is internationally known Thai chef Ian Kittichai’s first flagship Bangkok restaurant.

Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself.She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd. From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. She says: “I’m sure I wasn’t much of a help to start with, painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and is was backbreaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills.”Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit when a tenancy (租期) comes to an end. She adds: “I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalise my room and put up pictures, so, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out.”With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over that coming weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The average spend per project will be around £823. Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home. Two fifth wish to increase the value of their house. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge.4.Which is closest in meaning to “a dab hand” in paragraph 1?A.An artist.B.A winner.C.A specialist.D.A pioneer.5.Why did Terri’s grandfather give her £5 a day?A.For a birthday gift.B.As a treat for her work.C.To support her DIY projects.D.To encourage her to take up a hobby.6.How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented?A.By making it look like before.B.By furnishing it herself.C.By splitting the rent with a roommate.D.By cancelling the rental agreement.7.What trend in DIY does the research show?A.It is becoming more costly.B.It is getting more time-consuming.C.It is turning into a seasonal industry.D.It is gaining popularity among females.I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World. It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy (哲学).That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who thinkthey understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you — and then try to explain them.Eric Weiner’s The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy.Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher’s work in the context (背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about undestanding philosophy, is a book abour learning to use philosophy to improve a life.He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding (解读) their messages and adding his own interpretation.The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It’s worth your time, even if time is something we don’t have a lot of.8.Who opened the door to philosophy for the author?A.Foucault.B.Eric Weiner.C.Jostein Gaarder.D.A college teacher.9.Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4?A.To compare Weiner with them.B.To give examples of great works.C.To praise their writing skills.D.To help readers understand Weiner’s book.10.What does the author like about The Socrates Express?A.Its views on history are well-presented.B.Its ideas can be applied to daily life.C.It includes comments from readers.D.It leaves an open ending.11.What does the author think of Weiner’s book?A.Objective and plain.B.Daring and ambitious.C.Serious and hard to follow.D.Humorous and straightforward.Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5 m long and weigh over 400 kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche — we revere (敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the tourists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see, and their answer is often the same: a grizzly bear.“Grizzly bears are re-occupying large areas of their former range,” says bear biologist Chris Servheen. As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven’t been seen in a century or more, they’re increasingly being sighted by humans.The western half of the U.S. was full of grizzlies when Europeans came, with a rough number of 50,000 or more living alongside Native Americans. By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S. Their recovery has been so successful that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to delist grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed.Obviously, if precautions (预防) aren’t taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away. “Our hope is to have a clean, attractant-free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits,” says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.12.How do Americans look at grizzlies?A.They cause mixed feelings in people.B.They should be kept in national parks.C.They are of high scientific value.D.They are a symbol of American culture.13.What has helped the increase of the grizzly population?A.The European settlers’ behavior.B.The expansion of bears’ range.C.The protection by law since 1975.D.The support of Native Americans.14.What has stopped the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service from delisting grizzlies?A.The opposition of conservation groups.B.The successful comeback of grizzlies.C.The voice of the biologists.D.The local farmers’ advocates.15.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Food should be provided for grizzlies.B.People can live in harmony with grizzlies.C.A special path should be built for grizzlies.D.Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.五、七选五Tricks To Becoming A Patient PersonHere’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common? There is one answer. 16 .In the Digital Age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and right ai our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.●Practice gratitude (感激)Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic.17 . “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.● Make yourself waitInstant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. 18 . Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You’ll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations.● 19 .So many of us have the belief that being comfortabel is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself, “ 20 .” You’ll then gradually become more patient.A.Find your causesB.Start with small tasksC.Accept the uncomfortableD.All this adds up to a state of hurryE.It can also help us practice more patienceF.This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerableG.They’re all situations where we could use a little extra patience 六、完形填空33.A.size B.shape C.color D.taste34.A.smell B.look C.become D.work35.A.happy B.vivid C.short D.vague36.A.clean B.check C.count D.pack37.A.perfect B.useful C.convenient D.familiar38.A.on view B.on sale C.in season D.in need39.A.finished B.stored C.found D.grown40.A.cooked B.given C.bought D.told七、用单词的适当形式完成短文八、短文改错51.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修以你同桌写的以下作文。

Yeah, I got it.”If you thought you’d walked into a library with a greeting like that, you wouldn’t be too far off. In fact,you’ve entered the workplace of Courtney Holmes, aka the Storybook Barber.Two years ago, Dubuque, Iowa, held its first annual Back to School Bash, offering needy families anopportunity to learn about free resources in the community. Holmes agreed to participate. He was holdingdown two jobs at the time—one with the city’s public works department. the other as a barber. Saturdaywas his busiest haircutting day, but he chose to donate his time and give free haircuts to underprivilegedkids, so they’d look sharp on that first day of classes. But then he had a lightbulb moment: “The kidsshould earn their free haircut by having to read a book to me,” Holmes said.The idea was so popular that he continued it the first Tuesday of every month for the next two years.Five- to ten-year-old boys would grab a favorite book, settle into the barber chair, and read aloud whileHolmes snipped away. If they stumbled over a word, Holmes was there to help. After the haircut, they’dreview the book, from the characters and vocabulary to the themes—just like in school, only more fun.Holmes, who is married and has two sons, ages three and four, recognizes that not every parent hasthe time to read with their kids. “I get it. You have four kids, and you’re working two jobs. Sitting downand listening to them read is the last thing you have time to do. You have to clean the house or cook dinner.So I say bring your kids in and let them read to me.”Holmes admits he, too, benefits from the free snip-and-reads. “There was this seven-year-old whostruggled through his book, stuttering over words even though he didn’t have a stutter,” said Holmes. Hehad the boy take the book home and practice. When the child came back a few days later, “He read it withno problems. That inspires me.”Holmes and his family have recently moved from Dubuque to a Chicago suburb. When they getsettled, he plans to resume his role as the Storybook Barber. “The way the world is today with guns andviolence,” he says, “it’s a safe haven for the kids, to come to the barbershop and read books.”24. What do we know about Holmes?A. He enjoys giving free haircuts to homeless children.B. He volunteers to do something for his community.C. He hates seeing children drop out of schools.D. He must do two jobs to support his poor family.25. How does Holmes help the disadvantaged children?A. He donates books of his children to them.B. He arranges for them to read books for each other.C. He asks them to read him books to get free haircuts.D. He offers to clean house and cook dinners for them.26. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?A. Summarize the previous paragraphs.B. Illustrate how effective Holmes’ idea is.C. Explain how Holmes carries out his idea.D. Introduce an unforgettable experience.27. What is the main idea of the text?A. A good conscience is a continual feast.B. A good deed deserves another in return.C. A good beginning makes a good ending.D. A good trim goes with something extra.CI’ve recently found myself wondering if I could do without Google Maps. It is, I think, the only appon my phone I’d really miss were I to swap my smartphone for a “dumb” one that handles only calls andtext messages.Why am I thinking about this? It’s because every time I try to read a book, I end up picking up myphone instead. I keep interrupting my own train of thought in order to do something that I don’tconsciously want to do.This is not accidental. Developers have become even more unashamed in their attempts to keep ushooked on our smartphones. Some of them speak in the language of addiction and behavioural psychology,though most prefer the term “persuasive tech”. In itself, persuasive tech is not a new idea — an academicnamed BJ Fogg has been running classes from a “persuasive tech lab” at Stanford since the late 1990s. Butas smartphone ownership has rocketed and social-media sites have been born, persuasive tech has vastlyexpanded its reach.One company, Dopamine Labs — named for the chemical released in the reward center of the brain— offers a service to tech businesses wanting to “keep users engaged”. Founder Ramsay Brown tells me hewants people to understand that “their thoughts and feelings are on the table as things that can be controlledand designed”. He thinks there should be more conversation around the persuasive power of thetechnologies being used. “We believe everyone has a right to cognitive liberty, and to build the kind ofmind they want to live in,” he says.The poster child of the resistance movement against addictive apps is former Google “design ethicist”Tristan Harris. He thinks the power to change the system lies not with app developers but with thehardware providers. In 2014, Harris founded “Time Well Spent”, a group that campaigns for more moraldesign practices among developers.Any tech business that relies on advertising profits is motivated to hold its users online for as long aspossible, Harris says. This means apps are specifically designed to keep us in them. Apple, on the otherhand, wants to sell phones but doesn’t have a profit stream so tightly connected to the amount of time itscustomers spend online. Harris hopes that companies like Apple could use their influence to encouragemore morally designed apps.While I wait for Apple to sort this out, I find myself longing for something called a “Light Phone”, acredit-card-sized handset that does absolutely nothing but make and receive calls. Price tag? $150. Seemsexpensive. But the company’s website is very persuasive.28. According to the author, what makes us so glued to our smartphones?A. People's inborn behaviours.B. App developers’ intentionC. User-friendly appsD. Hardware providers29. Dopamine Labs's founder believes that ____.A. Tech businesses have gone too far in controlling users’ mindsB. Persuasive technologies are dangerous to users’ cognitive liberty.C. The persuasive power of the technologies deserves more attentionD. Everyone can live the life they desire by using persuasive technologies.30. Which of the following best explains the underlined words “The poster child” in paragraph 5?A. The advertiserB. The advocateC. The opponentD. The founder31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Do we have a right to cognitive liberty?B. What have persuasive tech done to us?C. Why a dumb phone is a smart move?D. How smartphones shape our minds?DMaths is hot in British schools. It is extremely popular with 16 to 18-year-olds, who are increasinglytaking the subject at A-level. As a component of the so-called Stem subjects, namely science, technology,engineering and maths, it provides a ticket into the world of scientific possibilities and, importantly, to jobs.Or does it?The maths that today’s students learn will not equip them with the real-world Stem skills that industry,science, government and commerce demand. Employers do not require the same maths that was around inthe 1600s, or even 50 years ago. Yet that still forms the core of education policy.The machinery that powers mathematics is fundamental. And today’s computing machinery is beyondthe imagination of anyone who lived before the late 20th century.Before modern computers, calculations were very expensive because they had to be done by hand.Therefore, in real life you would try very hard to minimize the amount of computation, at the expense ofmore upfront consideration in defining and abstracting precise questions to wrestle. It was a painstakingprocess.Nowadays, a much more experimental approach can be combined with a looser primary questionbecause computation is so cheap and effective that one can try a variety of approaches.These processes, starting with defining questions, translating them into maths, computing the answersand interpreting results, are the cornerstones of computational thinking. Many people, though, do not thinkof this as maths, which traditionally people assume to be equal to pure calculation: narrow and devoid ofreal-world application.To significantly increase acceptance and engagement of maths in schools we need to focus oncomputational thinking, the process that drives real-world application of mathematics. The magic is inoptimizing how process, computer and human can be put together to solve problems.This approach needs knowledge of what is possible, experience of how to apply it and know-how oftoday’s machinery for performing it. These are the core Stem skills that a 21st-century student deserves,harnessing the power of automation. Maths is continually evolving. It has come of age and it is vitallyimportant that education stands on these advancements.32. What does the author think of the maths today’s students learn?A. It creates more scientific possibilities.B. It has evolved into STEM education.C. It is more important than calculation.D. It fails to meet today’s requirements.33. Why were calculations very expensive at past?A. It was an attentive process.B. It demanded too much labor.C. There were fewer calculating tools.D. People were poor at abstracting numbers.34. Which of the following statement is wrong according to the text?A. Maths is an improving process.B. Maths takes calculation as its core.C. Maths benefits from computation.D. Maths includes defining questions.35. What does the text suggest about maths teaching?A. It should center on computational thinking.B. It should stress training calculating skills.C. It should be about real-world application.D. It should bring in automation assistance.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。
