21．（6分）Nelle Harper Lee» better known by her pen name Harper Lee, was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird, published in 1960. Immediately successful, it won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modem American literature. In 1991 an organization conducted a survey that made readers identify books that had “made a difference” in their lives. The result? Lee's book trailed only The Bible. Alongside the works of Shakespeare and Twain, this novel remains one of the most widely taught books nationwide, reaching about 70% of American public schools. What makes it such a typical read for young people?English class is a place where young Americans come to know themselves. In the folds of dusty books, students can make contact with humanity beyond the shallow small talk of the school hallways. Disturbed by hormones (荷尔蒙）andanxiety, teenagers get through school with confusion and frustration. Literature is a safety valve (安全阀）一it promises relief, a place to figure out one's problems and get to know oneself better.The novel particularly distinguishes itself in this aspect. It speaks in a child's voice without treating its readership as children. Some critics have called it an “impossible” achievement, a children's book penned by a well-educated adult — it's unlikely that a child like Scout could exist in the real world. But that's exactly what makes it such a charming, attractive read for young people. It indicates the consciousness of a well-educated adult facing difficult realities, but describes it through the light and playful voice of a curious little girl.Gaby Hick, a third- year student focused on English literature at Brown University, calls it ^one of the first books that kids and young adults read that deals with serious issues 一rape, race, mental issues”. She adds, “The story makes these adult themes accessible because of Scout.” The book’s setting, a small town in Alabama affected by the Great Depression of the 1930s, may appear very different from the experience of most kids reading it today. But Lee's words make her story feel alive and present.In 2006, however, critic Thomas Mallon expressed his regret about the book's avoiding complexity in The New Yorker. But her novel makes a great teaching tool for teenagers precisely because its moral view is as clear as that of one of Aesop's Fables. That absence of ambiguity (含糊其辞）in this novel doesn't mean the novel is free of challenging ideas, either. Will Serratelli, another literature student at Brown says, “There aren’t many hard moral questions beingasked …but it opens up all these other questions that 1 hadn't thought about before. My English teachers always asked, Do you sympathize (同情）with this character? Would you want to hang out with them?’ When you give a kid a book where those questions don't even need to be asked, it forces them to dig deeper.”Mallon's criticism is accurate in that this novel may present too limited a view of racism in America. That's especially problematic because it is one of the only books consistently assigned to American students that acknowledges (承认）racial discrimination (歧视）at all. However, To Kill a Mockingbird may owe some of its popularity as a teaching text to the fact that the narrative voice is a white one. Naomi Vamis, an African Studies student at Brown says, “It's another practice of telling stories about black people through whi te central characters,” she says.While the novel is undoubtedly worth its place in the classroom, English teachers may do well to consider that it is a white author's perspective — and ought to be the only beginning of a dialogue about race and never the final word. But as a gateway to more mature ideas, and as a YA(young adult) distillation (提炼）of complex concepts young people may not have grasped before, Lee's novel is invaluable.1、According to the passage, the novel To Kill a Mockingbird can help us .A．reduce much anxiety for fear of losing ourselvesB．understand what the real personality of human isC．know more about the past U.S. economic situationD．find and deal with some other complicated questions2、What does the underlined word “trailed” most probably mean in Paragraph 1 ?A．Was as good as. B．Tried hard to defeat.C．Went along the same route as. D．Had a lower score than.3、What can we conclude from Will Serratelli's statement underlined in Paragraph 5?A．The kids are unwilling to answer challenging questions.B．The kids have to face more moral questions.C．The kids tend to sympathize with the characters.D．The kids are motivated to think further.4、Why is the novel well received by teenagers in the U.S.?A．Because it reveals racial discrimination in America.B．Because a white author tells the stories about black people.C．Because it makes some serious adult issues accessible.D．Because it is widely used as a tool for moral judgments in society.5、What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A．To tell us about the content of the novel.B．To explain the reasons for its popularity.C．To introduce some different comments.D．To approve of the creative writing style.22．（8分）We are obsessed (迷恋)with ourselves. We study our history, our psychology, our philosophy. Much of our knowledge revolves (使旋转)around humankind itself, as if we were the most important thing in the universe.But in the course of the centuries we have come to realize just how many wrong ideas we’ve had. We have l earned of the existence of black holes, waves of space, and of the extraordinary molecular structures in every cell of our bodies.The more we discover, the more we understand that what we don’t yet know is greater than what we know. The more powerful our telescopes, the stranger and more unexpected are the heavens we see. The closer we look at the minute detail of matter, the more we discover of its profound structure.In a famous story told by Plato in the seventh book of The Republic, some men are chained at the bottom of a dark cave and see only shadows cast upon a wall by a fire behind them. They think that this is reality. One of them frees himself, leaves the cave and discovers the light of the sun and the wider world. At first the light, to which his eyes are unaccustomed, stuns and confuses him. But eventually he can see and returns excitedly to his companions to tell themwhat he has seen. They find it hard to believe.We are all in the depths of a cave, chained by our ignorance, our prejudices, and our weak senses reveal only shadows. If we try to see further, we are confused: we are unaccustomed. But we try. This is science. Scientific thinking explores and redraws the world, gradually offering us better and better images of it, teaching us to think in ever more effective ways. Its strength is its capacity to demolish (推翻)old ideas, to reveal new regions of reality, and to construct new, more effective images of the world. This adventure rests upon the entirety of past knowledge, but at its heart is change.The incompleteness and the uncertainty of our knowledge, hung over the abyss (深渊) of what we don’t know, does not make life meaningless: it makes it interesting and precious.1、What does the author want to tell us in the first three paragraphs?A．The new discoveries of the universe prove to be wrong.B．Man has created splendid cultures in the course of centuries.C．Our knowledge of the universe is incomplete and uncertain.D．The existing technologies are enough for further exploration.2、The story told by Plato is meant to .A．make us aware of the cruelty of realityB．encourage us to explore the unknown worldC．applaud the heroic deeds of chasing freedomD．justify our ignorance and prejudice about the world3、What does the author want to stress in the passage?A．Exploring the universe makes our life meaningful.B．Leaving things as they are makes our life perfect.C．New discoveries of the universe will cause confusion.D．Past knowledge prevents us constructing a new world.23．（8分）Travelers to a new city are often encouraged to take a bus tour. The thinking is that they can later return to the places that attracted them, but that’s nonsense! What you see from the inside of a fast-moving bus is sanitized (清洁的) and unreal , entirely removed from the real sights, sounds, and smells outside.The best way to experience any destination is by foot, without an itinerary, wandering where your spirit leads you. Even in the largest cities, the savvy(资深的) traveler plunges into the very center of town and walks down the nearest street, experiencing the actual life of the people while looking into the grocery stores and courtyard. You eventually get to many of the same sites that are on the bus route--the museums, the monuments, the city hall--but you will havewitness ed so much more because you will have felt the contemporary life of the city you’re visiting.“But what if I get lost?” people ask. No one ever gets permanently lost in a major city. Eventually, a trolley or bus passes with the words “Central Station” on i ts front and you can easily return to the center of town. Besides, the most wonderful things can happen if you do get lost, such as stopping at a sidewalk cafe to sit and relax and then asking directions from the locals at the next table. Hopefully , your trip may be attractive by this encounter. Here are a few ways to make the most of your travels:Know before you go. Before you depart, spend time in a library or bookstore, learning about the history and culture of your destination so you will better under stand the place you’re visiting .Move around like a local. Use the local subways, trams and buses. You’ll not only save money, you’ll learn how people live there , and you’ll gain a realistic perspective of the city.Check the bulletin board. Bulletin boards list free lectures, concerts, workshops and social gatherings, giving you a chance to join or meet the area’s most dynamic residents.Take a walking tour. If you must book a guided tour, select the nonstandard , inexpensive kinds conducted on foot.So, the next time you feel lured by a sightseeing bus tour, save your money and instead, wander around on your own. I promise you a time you’ll remember fondly.1、What does the author think of a bus tour?A．It is reasonable. B．It is fast.C．Y ou can’t be ex posed to the outside world. D．It is noisy.2、What does the underlined word in Para 2 mean?A．a guided book for travelers. B．a car.C．a bag. D．something to eat.3、Why is traveling by foot one of the best choices to experience the city?A．Because you can buy anything you like.B．Because you can get to the same destination as the bus tour.C．Because you can experience the real life in person.D．Because you can go to museums and city halls where the bus doesn’t get.4、How do you make the most of your travel? Which statement is not true?A．Read some introduction of the place where you want to go.B．Join the local workshop and social gatherings.C．Join a tour without a guide.D．Use the public transportation as well as visit on foot.5、What’s the main idea of this passage?A．How to avoid getting lost.B．How to make the most of your travel.C．Bus tour is not as good as we think.D．How to travel with a budge24．（8分）Do you ever wonder why trees begin to bud (发芽) earlier in some cities? Scientists finally found the answer but it’s not very pleasant. New science suggests a relationship between light pollution and the timing when trees produce buds, which signals the arrival of the spring season.Light pollution is defined by the Lighting Research Center as the unwanted consequence of outdoor lighting such as street lights. Excessive (过多的) man-made light at night results in disturbed natural cycles, and also prevents the observation of stars and planets at night. But its effect on the environment goes beyond that.By studying some trees, researchers found out that trees that are more exposed to artificial lighting at night bud up to 7.5 days earlier than those at the natural nighttime setting. And they found out that light had a more significant effect than temperature when the buds came out. The early budding may cause problems for insects, which feed on leaves, and the birds which then feed on them in turn. Professor Richard, who helped lead the research, explained that more than the budding of trees, the study implies the danger to the balance of the ecosystem. “At the moment, caterpillars (毛毛虫) are timed to hatch to make the most of the opportunities to feed on freshly budded leaves, and birds hatch in time to feed on the young caterpillar,” he said.Migratory (迁徙的) birds are also negatively affected by light pollution. The glare might confuse them and make them lose their flying sense. The phenomenon might explain why some birds accidentally knock into buildings.Such results stress the need to pursue studies that aim to measure the effect of light pollution. If the issue were left to continue, it is estimated that by 2100, spring would begin almost a full month earlier than it does today.1、What will happen if there is too much man-made light?A．People’s eyesight will be damaged.B．The ecosystem will likely lose its balance.C．No stars or planets may be observed at night.D．Animals’ living habits may change suddenly.2、How does the early budding affect insects or plants?A．It will cause the rising number of insects.B．It could lead to trees growing fewer leaves.C．It may result in some insects going hungry.D．It might push insects to hatch more slowly.3、What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?A．The effect of light pollution is destructive.B．The spring of 2100 will become much longer.C．Light pollution should be taken seriously.D．A further study on light pollution is scheduled.4、What is the suitable title for the passage?A．Why spring comes earlier in some citiesB．Why light pollution needs to be studiedC．How trees’ early budding takes placeD．How much light is “too much”25．（10分）Finding a mountain goat resting high on a cliff(悬崖) might thrill many of the millions of tourists who visit Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park every year, but park officials say it might be time for the bearded animals to go.The problem, according to the park, is that Grand Teton’s 100 or so mountain goats threaten about 80 bighorn sheep. The bighorn sheep numbered as many as 125 just a few years ago. The strong goats spread disease and compete with bighorn sheep for food. Unlike small-sized bighorn sheep, Grand Teton’s mountain goats aren’t native to the park. They were introduced to the park in the 1960s.Grand Teton spokeswoman Denise Germann said, “We’ve got a management responsibility to protect the native species. After hearing from the public on the proposal (建议) in January, park officials expect to decide as soon asmid-February on what to d o about the mountain goats.”The goats are reproducing rapidly. Now might be the best time to reduce the animals before they’re too many to bring under control, according to the Park Service.One wildlife biologist who studies bighorn sheep praised the pro posal. Mountain goats’ original habitat is nowhere close to where they’ve been introduced in the U.S. to provide hunting opportunities, said Rob Roy Ramey II, with Nederland, Colorado-based Wildlife Science International, Inc.Wildlife managers should get rid of mountain goats not only in Grand Teton but elsewhere to help struggling bighorn sheep, Ramey said. “Unfortunately, state wildlife agencies sell nonnative wildlife viewing opportunities to the public,” Ramey said. “This is not a zoo in the wilderness. It should really be for native wildlife.”1、What can be learnt about the bighorn sheep in the park?A．Their size is huge. B．Their number is decreasing.C．They arrived in the 1960s. D．They threaten local species.2、How did the public help park officials protect the bighorn sheep?A．By providing suggestions. B．By driving away mountain goats.C．By volunteering in the park. D．By taking over Grand Teton National Park.3、What is Germann’s attitude towards the bighorn sheep?A．Curious. B．Proud.C．Surprised. D．Concerned.4、What was the purpose of bringing in mountain goats in the beginning?A．To offer hunting chances.B．To sell nonnative wildlife.C．To satisfy wildlife managers.D．To increase diversities of sheep.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
