A“Her grades are fine; I’m not worried about that, but she just doesn’t seem to love learning any more.” Alice’s mum said.She’s absolutely right. I’d noticed the same thing about her daughter over the previous two or three years when I’d been Alice’s middle school English, Latin, and writing teacher, and I have an answer, right there on the tip of my tongue, for what has gone wrong. Yet I’m torn between my responsibility to help Alice, and the knowledge that what I have to say is a truth I’m not sure this mother is ready to hear.The truth- for this parent and so many others—is this: Her child has sacrificed her natural curiosity and love of learning at the altar(圣坛) of achievement, and it’s our fault. Alice’sparents, her teachers, society at large—we are all supposed to be blamed in this crime against learning. Form her first day of school, we pointed her toward that altar and trained her to measure her progress by means of points, scores, and awards. We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her intellect(智力) ,and that her intellect is more important than her character. We taught her to come home proudly bearing grades As, championship prizes, and college acceptances, and not on purpose, we taught her that we don’t really care how she obtains them. We taught her to protect her academic and extracurricular perfection at all costs and that it’s better to quit when things get challenging rather than risk losing that perfect record. Above all else, we taught her fear failure. That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning.21. Both the mother and the teacher have noticed that .A. Alice hates to tell them truthB.

Go Set a Watchman would be published in July. Lee became a recluse (隐士)after the publication of her first book, To Kill a Mockingbird, in 1960. Although the author has been out of the public eye for more than 50 years, the wave that followed the announcement showed her novel’s beloved place in the American literary works.In 1991, The Book of the Month Club and the library of Congress conducted a survey that made readers identify books that had made a difference in their lives. Lee’s book followedonly The Bible. Alongside the works of Shakespeare and Twain, To Kill a Mockingbird remains one of the most widely taught books nationwide, reaching an estimated 70% of American public schools. What makes it such a perfect 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 superficial(肤浅的) conversations of the school hallways. Literature promises relief, a place to figure out one’s problems and get to know oneself better.To Kill a Mockingbird particularly distinguishes itself in this regard. It speaks in child’s voice without treating its readership as children. People have called it an ‘impossible’achievement, a children’s book penned in the prose(散文) of 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 read for young people. It alludes to (转弯抹角地说到)the consciousness of a well-educated adult going through difficult realities, but shows it through the light and playful voice of a curious little girl.28. In which year might Go Set a Watchman come out?A. 2015B. 1960C. 1910D. 199129. Which book leaves the deepest impression on American readers?A. Go Set a WatchmanB. To Kill a MockingbirdC. The BibleD. Shakespeare’s works30. Which of the following statements is right about To Killa Mockingbird?A. Its author may be a playful child.B. It’s a story about a well-educated adult.C. Young people can see themselves from it.D. It’s impossible for children like Scout to exist.31. What is the best title for the text?A. The Great Writer: Harper LeeB. The Great Young People NovelC. V oices from ChildrenD. Differences Harper Lee madeDLast week, Education Secretary Arne Duncan declared a war on paper textbooks. “Over the next few years,” he said in a speech at the National Press Club, “textbooks should be abandoned.” In their place would come a variety of digital-learning technologies, like e-readers and multi-media websites.Such technologies certainly have their place. But Secretary Duncan is threatening to light a fire to a tried-and-true technology—good old paper—that has been the foundation for one of the great educational systems on the planet. And while e-readers and multi-media may seem appealing, the idea of replacing an effective leaning platform with a widely hyped (炒作)but still unproven one is extremely dangerous.An expert on reading, Maryanne Wolf, has recently begun studying the effects of digital reading on learning, and so far the results are mixed. She worries that Internet reading, in particular, could be such a source of distractions(分散注意力) for the student that they may cancel out most other potential benefits of a web-linked, e-learning environment. and while it’s true that the high-tech industry has sponsored substantial amounts of research on the potential benefits of Web-based learning, not enough time has passed for longitudinal（纵向的）studies to demonstrate the full effects.In addition, digital-reading advocates claim that lightweight e-books benefit students’backs and save schools money. but the rolling backpack seems to have solved the weight problem, and the astounding costs to outfit every student with an e-reader, provide technical support and pay for regularsoftware updates promise to make the e-textbook a very pricey choice.As both a teacher who uses paper textbooks and a student of urban history, i can’t help but wonder what parallels exist between my own field and this sudden, wholesale abandonment of the technology of paper.32. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. A tried and true technology is paper, long used in educational system.B. Digital learning technologies will replace the paper textbooks sooner or later.C. E-readers and multimedia websites are learning methods that are proved effective.D. Multi-media websites and a good old paper are kinds of digital-learning technologies.33. What are drawbacks of textbooks according to the passage?A. Its price.B. Its weight.C. Its content.D. Its appearance.34. What worries Maryanne Wolf is that .A. paper learning can provide more potential benefitsB. the results of digital reading effects are understandableC. students may not focus on learning by digital readingD. digital reading can’t provide potential benefits for users35. What is the author’s attitude towards digital-learning?A. disapprovingB. supportiveC. positiveD. objective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。
