He made little pieces of sculpture—men, women and castle, quaint earthen things dotted over with sea-shells. He painted. Thus he wasted his time on all that was useless, needless. People laughed at him. At times he vowed to shake off his whims, but they lingered in his mind.(3) Some boys seldom ply their books and yet pass their tests. A similar thing happened to this man. He spent his earth life in useless work and yet after his death the gates of Heaven opened wide for him.(4) But mistakes are unavoidable even in Heaven. So it came to pass that the aerial messenger who took charge of the man made a mistake and found him a place in Workers’ Paradise.(5) In this Paradise you find everything except leisure.(6) H ere men say: “God! We haven’t a moment to spare.” Women whisper: “Let’s move on, time’s a-flying.” All exclaim: “Time is precious.” “We have our hands full, we make use of every single minute,” they sigh complainingly, and yet those words make them happy and exalted.(7) But this newcomer, who had passed all his life on Earth without doing a scrap of useful work, did not fit in with the scheme of things in Workers’ Paradise. He lounged in the streets absently and jostled the hurrying men. He lay down in green meadows, or close to the fast flowing streams, and was taken to task by busy farmers. He was always in the way of others. (8) A hustling girl went every day to a silent torrent (silent, since in the Workers’ Paradise even a torrent would not waste its energy singing) to fill her pitcher.(9) The girl’s movement on the road was like the rapid movement of a skilled hand on the strings of a guitar. Her hair was carelessly done; inquisitive wisps stooped often over her forehead to peer at the dark wonder of her eye.(10) The idler was standing by the stream. As a princess sees a lonely beggar and is filled with pity, so the busy girl of Heaven saw this one and was filled with pity.(11 ) “A—ha !” she cried with concern. “You have no work in hand, have you?”(12) The man sighed, “Work! I have not a moment to spare for work.”(13) The girl did not understand his words, and said: “I shall spare some work for you to do, if you like.”(14) The man replied: “Girl of the silent torrent, all this time I have been wait ing to take some work from your hands.”(15) “What kind of work would you like?”(16) “Will you give me one of your pitchers, one that you can spare?”(17) She asked: “A pitcher? You want to draw water from the torrent?”(18) “No, I shall draw pictures on your pitcher.”(19) The girl was annoyed.(20) “Pictures, indeed! I have no time to waste on such as you. I am going.” And she walked away.(21) But how could a busy person get the better of one who had nothing to do? Every day they met, and every day he said to her: “Girl of the silent torrent, give me one of your clay pitchers. I shall draw pictures on it.”(22) She yielded at last. She gave him one of her pitchers. The man started painting. He drew line after line; he put color after color.(23) When he had completed his work, the girl held up the pitcher and stared at its sides, her eyes puzzled. Brows drawn, she asked: “What do they mean, all those lines and colors? What is their purpose?”(24) The man laughed.(25) “Nothing. A picture may have no meaning and may serve no purpose.”(26) The girl went away with her pitcher. At home, away from prying eyes, she held it in the light, turned it round and round and scanned the painting from all angles. At night she moved out of bed, lighted a lamp and scanned it again in silence. For the first time in her life she had seen something that had no meaning and no purpose at all.(27) When she set out for the torrent the next day, her hurrying feet were a little less hurried than before. For a new sense seemed to have wakened in her, a sense that seemed to have no meaning and no purpose at all.(28) She saw the painter standing by the torrent and asked in confusion: “What do you want of me?”(29) “Only some more work from your hands.”(30) “What kind of work would you like?”(31) “Let me make a colored ribbon for your hair,” he answered.(32) “And what for?”(33) “Nothing.”(34) Ribbons were made, bright with colors. The busy girl of Workers’ Paradise had now to spend a lot of time every day tying the colored ribbon around her hair. The minutes slipped by, unutilized. Much work was left unfinished.(35) In Workers’ Paradise work had of late begun to suffer. Many persons who had been active before were now idle, wasting their precious time on useless things such as painting and sculpture. The elders became anxious. A meeting was called. All agreed that such a state of affairs had so far been unknown in the history of Workers’ Paradise.(36) The aerial messenger hurried in, bowing before the elders and made a confession.(37) “I brought a wrong man into this Paradise,” he said. “It is all due to him.”(38) The man was summoned. As he came the elders saw his fantastic dress, his quaint brushes, his paints, and they knew at once that he was not the right sort for Workers’ Pa radise.(39) Stiffly the President said: “This is no place for the like of you. You must leave.”(40) The man sighed in relief and gathered up his brush and paint. But as he was about to go, the girl of the silent torrent came up tripping and cried: “Wait a moment. I shall go with you.”(41) The elders gasped in surprise. Never before had a thing like this happened in Workers’ Paradise—a thing that had no meaning and no purpose at all.III.

Their life is described with a mixture(混合) of quiet humor and a delicate(微妙的)sentiment(多愁善感) and with, indeed, deeper feelings openly displayed as well(也). The story is told by a girl named Mary Smith and it centers upon(将…当做中心) Miss Matty —Miss Matilda Jenkyns —an elderly, single lady whose character is one of simple goodness. Other characters are her ladies who form “society”in the village. Cranford has been called “a grown-up fairy tale”and, gentle though it may be, it‟s one of the notable(著名的) books about early Victorian England.习题解析1.

Well-nourished children tend to do all the following but _________.【细节题】7. Which of the following statement is NOT true?【判断题】8. Malnutrition may be caused by __________. 【细节题】9. It is implied in the passage that ________. 【推理题】10. What‟s the main idea of the passage?【主旨题】篇章解析Nutritional (营养的) status affects children‟s behavior. Well-nourished(营养良好的)children are more alert(警惕的，警觉的)and attentive(专心的)and are better able to benefit from physical(身体的)and learning experience. Poorly nourished(营养不良) children may be quiet and withdrawn(沉默寡言的), or too active during class activities. Fat children also face many problems. They are often slow and less able to participate in(参与) physical activity. They may suffer from(遭受)being laughed at(嘲笑)and emotional stress by being excluded from(排斥) playmates.Children‟s resistance(抵抗) to infection(感染) and illness is also definitely influenced by their nutritional status. Children who are well nourished are less likely to(不太可能做某事)become ill; they also recover(恢复)more quickly when they are sick. Poorly nourished children are more sensitive to(对…敏感) infections and illness. Illness also increases the need for some nutrients (营养物质). Thus poor nutrition creates a cycle of illness, poorer nutritional status, and lowered resistance to illness.Malnutrition(营养不良)is a serious problem for many young children but it is not always associated with(把…和联系起来) poverty or a poor environment. Children of middle and upper income families may also be malnourished(营养不良的)because of(由于) unwise food selections. Malnutrition occurs when there is prolonged (拖延的) imbalance(不平衡) of the nutrients that are required and the nutrients that are actually eaten. Malnutrition may be the result of under-nutrition or over-nutrition.It is important that both of these conditions be avoided in young child. An adequate(充足的)intake(摄入) of all required nutrients is most vital during early periods of growth and development. Also, the effects of nutritional deficiency(缺乏)on physical development during early childhood are less likely to be changed by improved dietary(饮食的) intake later.习题解析6. Well-nourished children tend to do all the following but _________.A. be attentive while learningB. be too active in classD. behave very properlychildren may be quiet and withdrawn(沉默寡言的), or too active during class activities.【答案】B7.

The well-nourished tend to recover quickly when they are ill.C. The poorly-nourished are most likely to(更有可能做某事) be the victims of any infections disease.D. The …cycle‟ indicates that illness can turn the poor nutritional condition for the worse.【解析】Children‟s resistance(抵抗) to infection(感染) and illness is also definitely influenced by their nutritional status.【答案】A8.

This passage was most probably written in _________. 【推理题】篇章解析In the year 1906 Woodrow Wilson, who was then president of Princeton University said, “Nothing has spread socialistic(社会主义的) feeling in this century more than the automobile(汽车),” and added that it offered “a picture of the arrogance(自大，傲慢)of wealth”. Less than twenty years later, two women of Muncie, Indiana, both of whom were managing on small incomes, spoke their minds to investigators(调查者)gathering facts for that admirable(令人钦佩的，值得赞扬的) study of an American community, Middletown. Said one, who was the mother of nine children. “We‟d rather(宁愿) do without clothes than give up(放弃) the car.” Said the other, “I‟ll go without food before I‟ll see us give up the car.” And elsewhere another housewife, in answer to(响应) a comment on the fact that her family owned a car but no bathtub, uttered(发出)a fitting theme song(主题歌)for the automobile revolution. “Why,” said she, “you can‟t go to town in a bathtub!”This change in the status of the automobile from luxury(奢侈) for the many —a change which, as we shall see, transformed(转变) American communities and daily habits and ideas throughout the half century —did not come about(发生)suddenly. It could not. For it depended upon(依靠)three things. First, a reliable(可靠的), manageable(易操纵的), and not expensive car. Second, good roads. And third, garages and filling stations(加油站) in great number. And all these three requirements had to come slowly, by degrees(逐渐地), each strengthening(加强) the others; a man who had tried to operate(经营) a filling station beside a dusty(落满灰尘的) road in 1906 would have speedily(迅速地)gone bankrupt(破产).习题解析11.

The best title for this passage would be ________. 【主旨题】篇章解析From the beginning of painting in Iceland, it has been the country‟s landscapes(风景) that has been the main subject(主题) for artists.And it should surprise nobody, as closeness to a magnificent(壮丽的) and imposing(壮观的) native land has been the great fountain(喷泉)which has nourished the country‟s children. Not only painters and artists have fed off(以…为食物来源) this source —all Icelanders have to some extent(在一定程度上) received spiritual(精神的) strength and inspiration(灵感) from the country‟s nature.It is because of this that the landscape, the appearance of the country and the moods of nature mean so such to Icelanders. They are moved by pictures from foreign lands. Many places hold a special place in people‟s hearts.Belief in the land is a common expression of those feelings an d views —that the destiny(命运) of land and nation are interrelated(相关的) and that nothing can change this. It is thus maintained(主张), both seriously andjokingly, that Icelanders‟religion lies in(在于)this “belief in the land.”No surprise that pictorial(图像的) representations(代表) of landscape are crucial to Icelanders.The modern age with its variation(变化) and experimentation(实验) in the arts and other fields has created many new outlooks which fly directly in the face of traditional attitudes. These new perspectives(观点) are often fresh winds which prompt(促进) us to reconsider and reform our viewpoints, even if they don‟t overturn(推翻) the old ones. And of course young, creative artists have other things in mind that simply recycling what others have done before them. Those who pioneer(开辟), who present(提出)original(新颖的，独特的)solutions, seldom achieve their breakthroughs(突破) quickly. Their struggle(奋斗) is always exciting —and often the one which bears the most fruit.习题解析16. What is not said about the landscape in Iceland?A. It has always been the main subject for paintings.B.

As far back as childhood, whenever anger had disheveled him, or confusion, or the tick, tick, tick of emptiness like he felt today, he had sought the log road that went to the top of the mountain. As he moved along this road, somewhere the twist of anger would loosen; a shaft of clarity would strike through the scud of confusion; blood would creep back into the pulse and pallor of the emptiness. He would take happiness there, to be alone with it, as another child might keep hidden for a day a toy that wasn’t his.9. The passage suggests that for David Canaan, the logroad is best characterized as which of the following?(A) An antidote(B) A mystery(C) A stimulant(D) An illusion(E) A contradiction10.

Every serious studentin America embarked on a four-year quest, to be taught by a master teacher at a college far away from home,I explained. It was the equivalent of a martial artist’s leaving her village to study kung fu at the Shaolin Temple, I would say. And although she did not do it with grace, she believed me.11. The mother’s statement in line 2-3 (You will... America”) is best characterized as a(A) warning(B) lament(C) concession(D) compliment(E) convictionLine510Question 12-24 are based on the following passages.These passages discuss Pleistocene rewilding: replacingThe large mammals of North America that became extinctduring the Pleistocene epoch with African or Asianrelatives of those animals.Passage 1Humans probably were responsible to some degree for late Pleistocene extinctions of large mammals in North American and elsewhere. Our subsequent activities havecurtailed survival prospects and evolutionary potential for most large vertebrates. For these reasons, as well as for the sake of future human generations and Earth’s plants and animals, citizens and scientists bear an ethical responsibility to vigorously redress these problems through Pleistocene rewilding of North America.Pleistocene rewilding is not a substitute for ongoingconservation projects in Africa or North America. Instead, it centers on restoring ecological function to North America, where the evolutionary potential of many largeanimals were stopped 13,000 years ago and whereecosystems have struggled in the absence of their former members. (The extinction of predators like the American cheetah,, for instance, means that a crucial link in the food chain is broken.) It is also a bold attempt t preserve theevolutionary potential of endangered African and Asiananimals. In doing so, we hope to transform conservationbiology, which is currently too easily characterized as adoom-and-gloom discipline because we merely exposeand try to slow the rate of biodiversity loss. Thischaracterization may discourage people from taking aninterest in conservation. Pleistocene rewilding represents anexciting move away from managing extinction and toward restoring ecological and evolutionary processes by using the past as a guide.In the coming century, we will decide, by default ordesign, how much humanity will tolerate other species and thus decide the future of biodiversity. The default scenario will surely include ever more landscape dominated by pests and weeds, the global extinction of more large vertebrates, and a continuing struggle to slow the loss of biodiversity. While sound science can help mitigate therisks of Pleistocene rewilding, the potential for unexpected consequences will worry many conservationists. Y et given the apparent dysfunction of North American ecosystemsand Earth’s overall state, there are likely significant risks of inaction as well.We ask those who object to Peistocene rewilding.Are you content with the defeatist attitude of our currentconservation philosophy? Are you content that yourdescendants might well live in a world devoid of largeanimals? Are you willing to settle for an Americanwilderness that is severely impoverished relative to just100 centuries ago? Although the obstacles to Pleistocene rewilding are substantial and the risks are not trivial, wecan no longer accept a hands-off approach to wildernessreinvigorate them.. preservation as realistic, defensible, or cost free. It is tie not only to save wild places but also to rewild and reinvigorate them.Passage 2W e all remember Jurassic Park, the fictional accountof rewilding an isolated island with extinct dinosaursre-created from ancient DNA. Pleistocene rewiding of North America is a proposal only slightly less sensational. It is a little like proposing that two wrongs somehow will make a right. The modern-day proxy species —African elephants in a place of American mammoths, etc.,—are “wrong”(that is, different genetically from the species that occurred in North America during the Pleistocene epoch), and the ecosystems into which they are to be reintroduced are “wrong”(that is, different in composition from Pleistocene ecosystems as well as from those in which the modern-day proxy species evolved). Pleistocene rewilding will not restore evolutionary potential to North America’s extinct animals, because the species in question are evolutionarily distinct, nor will it restore the ecological potential of North America’s modern ecosystem, because they have continued to evolve over the past 13,000 years.. In addition, there is a third and potentially greater “wrong”proposed: adding these exotic species could potentially devastate populations of indigenous animals and plants.Although it is argued that Pleistocene rewilding of North America is justified for ecological, evolutionary, economic, aesthetic, and ethical reasons, there are clearly numerous ecological and evolutionary concerns. Y es, the plan might help conserve and maintain the evolutionary potential of some endangered African and Asian animals. But it cannot restore the evolutionary potential of extinct species, and it may irreparably disrupt current ecosystems. Moreover, there are many potential practical limitations to This plan. Reintroduced camels did not survive for long in the deserts of the American W est. Could African mammals, especially large carnivores, really populate the same areas? W ould elephants survive the harsh prairie winters, lacking The thick coats of their American mammoth ancestors?Answering these questions and accomplishing Pleistocene rewilding of North America would require a massive effort and infusion of funds could take moretime to test experimentally than some of these critically endangered species have left to survive in their existing native habitats. If financial and physical resources were available on this scale, they would be better spent on developing new ways to manage and conserve existing populations of African, Asian, and North American wildlife in their native habitats; on conducting ecological, behavioral, and demographic studies of these organisms in the environments in which they evolved; and on educating each continent’s inhabitants about the wonders of their own dwindling flora and fauna.Line51015202530354045 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 5012.

The author of Passage 1 characterizes the “defaultscenario” in lines 31-35 as(A) creative(B) inevitable(C) tolerable(D) unlikely(E) undesirable-7- 17.
