Buck was given the Nobel Prize for Literature （文学）in l938.The writer spent almost half of her long life in China. She learned to speak Chinese before she could speak English. Her mother had travelled widely and liked literature very much. After being educated by her mother and by a Chinese teacher, Pearl S. Buck went to school in Shanghai at the age of fifteen. She continued her education in the United States at a Woman's College to study psychology （心理学）. After graduating in 1914, she returned to China as a teacher. In the l920s her family moved to Nanjing. There she taught English and American literature at a university.As a writer, Buck's book, “The Good Earth”, appeared in l931 and sold quite well in its first year. It has been translated into over thirty languages. In l938 she became the third American to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. By the time of herdeath, Pearl had published more than seventy books.1.

Buck studied all by herself.4. Pearl began to study psychology in a Women's College in 1914.5.

Read and choose （选择正确的答案）5%These days it is very common for young men to give flowers to young women when they are in love, but this hasn’t always been the custom.In the 1700s in Turkey, it was quite popular for people in love to secretly send each other baskets full of strange things. Usually, an old woman who sold flowers or fruits in the street left the basket beside the door of the person receiving it.These gift baskets included many kinds of objects, such as flowers, stones, feathers, wax, and even charcoal (木炭). Each thing in the basket had a special meaning and the person who received the basket could determine (测定) the true feelings of the giver.A bunch of flowers told young ladies about the feelings in the hearts of young men. Each different flower had a different meaning. For example, the flowers from an orange tree meant, “You are beautiful and pure.”Pink carnations (康乃馨) meant, “My love for y ou is strong and great.” Yellow roses, on the other hand, meant, “I saw you with someone else.”Many flower dictionaries were made to help young people in love understand the meaning of the flowers they received. Not all of the dictionaries agreed, however, on the meaning of each flower, so a person had to watch out what flowers they chose to send. For example, depending on(依据) which dictionary you used, and which colour you gave, a young man’s roses could mean, “I love you,”“love is dangerous,”or even, “my love has decreased(减少).”By the 1880s, using flowers to send messages had fallen out of fashion(流行), and the more direct way of sending love letters began. Today, flowers are still considered a lovely gift, but the meaning for each kind of flower has been lost.1. What custom is talked about in the second and third paragraphs?A. Sending gift baskets.B. Sending flowers.C. Selling gift baskets.D. Selling flowers.2. What did the items in a gift basket explain to the receiver?A. The receiver’s looks.B. The receiver’s personality.C. The sender’s feelings.D. The sender’s name.3. Where was the idea of sending gifts of love popular in 1700s?A. Asia.B. Turkey.C. Europe.D. North America.4. How did people know the meaning of each kind of flower?A. They found out from books.B. The sender told them.C. Old women explained it.D. They read secret letters.5. The word “decreased”in the passage means “______”.A. goes upB. goes downC. stays the sameD. variesVII. Read and answer the questions. （阅读短文，回答问题）7% If you ask people of different countries “Could you tell me the way to the post of fice?”, you will get different answers.In Japan, people use landmarks(标志性建筑) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travellers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So people will tell you directions and distance. They will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, “Follow me.” Then he or she will take you through the streets of the city to the post office.Sometimes if a person doesn't know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, “Sorry,I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no oneanswers “I don't know.” People there think “I don't know.” is not polite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan! But one thing will help you everywhere. You might not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the correct direction. Go on in that direction and you may find the post office!1. What do Japanese people use to show the way?_____________________2.
