A★★☆☆☆Joanna Cole is the author of a wealth of children’s books on various subjects. Cole’s fertile imagination has provided beginning readers with jokes and puzzles, humorous tales of the Clown-Around family, and books about science. The winner of countless awards, Cole follows her own widespread interests to write. She is credited with introducing the interesting world of science to young readers through her book series such as the hugely popular “Magic School Bus” books, which inspired its own television program. A careful researcher, Cole is praised for her scientific accuracy, but her books gain most of their effectiveness from her humor and easily understood explanations of difficult technical subjects.Cole first discovered the pleasure of writing when she was in grade school. “I discovered in the fifth grade what I liked to do: write reports and stories, make them interesting and draw pictures to go along with the words. Science was my favorite.Our teacher, Miss Bair, would ask us to read a science book every week. And each week, she would choose one student to do an experiment and report on it to the class.I would have done an experiment every week if she had let me. Grade school was much more influential than my later education. Maybe that’s why as an adult I ended up writing books for children.”After graduating from the City College of New York, Cole pursued (追求) her interest in books. After some graduate education courses, she spent a year as a librarian in a Brooklyn elementary school. Cole then became an editor at Scholastic. It was during her first job at the elementary school that she was inspired by an article about cockroaches (蟑螂) in The Wall Street Journal. Realizing that this was a subject she had never read about in school, Cole decided to write about it herself. The first publisher rejected the idea, but Cole had more luck when she sent her book to the publishing house of William Morrow, where Editor Connie C. Epstein helped her improve her skills in science writing. Beginning with that book, Cole has continued to pen both nonfiction and fiction for younger readers. In 1980, after ten years’ editing children’s books, she became a full-time writer.21. We can learn from the text that Joanna Cole _____.A. writes various books for adultsB. is good at getting science across to readersC. is teaching science at an elementary schoolD. received many awards for her scientific achievement22. Joanna Cole’s attitude towards scientific experiments can be described as _____.A. uncaringB. cautiousC. unfavorableD. enthusiastic23. Which is the correct order of the following events related to Joanna Cole?a. She worked as a librarian.b. She became a full-time writer.c. She discovered the pleasure of writing.d. She studied in the City College of New York.e. She sent her book to the publishing house of William Morrow.A. c-d-a-b-eB. c-d-a-e-bC. d-c-a-b-eD. d-a-c-e-b24. Which of the following best describes Joanna Cole?A. Talented and creative.B. Popular but unhappy.C. Serious and honest.D. Friendly but strict.B★★★☆☆Dear Allen,I am delighted to learn that this year’s assessment of my performance is very positive. I enjoy working for Sunflower Corporation and will continue to serve the firm to the best of my ability.In the light of this positive assessment, I would like to request a promotion (提拔) from my present position as Acting Director to that of full Director to be considered. I think there should also be a pay increase involved in this promotion.As you know, I came to the Training and Development Department five years ago. Over the past five years, I have taken on the responsibilities of the department as the Acting Director. I have tried to improve the existing training courses to ensure (确保) a systematic training program. I have also taken steps to enrich our training courses even though this was not part of the job requirements. For example, I led a team in designing several training courses using detailed training material. Two of the programs, such as, “The Mystery of Leadership” and “Striving for Excellence”, enable us to offer 12 additional training courses. These programs help meet the needs of staff from all levels and practices within the firm.As you also know, I founded and lead our campus recruitment (招聘) program —“Sunflower Management Trainee Program”, which is widely recognized in many universities.Needless to say, I very much enjoy my present job. However, the above projects are beyond the original job description. They require me to spend extra hours and take additional responsibilities in order to ensure their proper implementation (实施).Given my positive performance and the additional effort I have made, I would very much appreciate your consideration in reviewing my official position with the company, along with a pay increase.Thank you for your attention and I look forward to your favorable reply.Your sincerely,Thomas25. We know from the text that the author _____.A. has done a good job this yearB. is satisfied with the present payC. wants to work in other departmentsD. dislikes his position in the company26. What do we know about the training courses designed by the author?A. They are satisfying and successful.B. They are within the author’s duties.C. They fail to meet the needs of staff.D. They are not well received in the company.27. The letter was written to _____.A. report on the workB. ask for promotion and a pay riseC. complain about working overtimeD. provide some suggestions on workC★★★★☆In a Station of the MetroThe apparition of these faces in the crowd;Petals on a wet, black bough.This is the only Ezra Pound poem that many people will read in their lives. Why? One obvious reason is that it’s just two lines long. The poem, which can be understood as “A man sees a bunch of faces in the subway and thinks they look like flowers on a tre e branch,” is an exercise in shortness. Pound wrote it after having a spiritual experience in a Paris metro (subway) station.In 1916, the US poet originally thought he could best describe his vision in a painting. Unfortunately, he wasn’t a painte r. So he wrote a thirty-line poem, which he didn’t like. He dropped the long version in the waste bin. Six months later, he wrote a shorter poem, but didn’t like that one either. Finally, a full year after the experience, he had been reading short Japanese poems called haikus, and he figured he would try this style. The result, which was published in 1913, is one of the most famous and influential works in modern poetry.This poem is one of the monuments (纪念物) of the 20th-century artistic movement known as “Imagism”. Basically, Pound and his friends thought that images (意象) weren’t just decoration: they were the highest form of speech. By finding the right image, the poet can express the true, spiritual reality of a thing, which is more important than using a bunch of adjectives to describe its physical appearance. Thus, “In a Station of the Metro” is a poem that consists of one image expressed with absolute (绝对的) exactness and nothing else.To the imagists, the best way to describe an experience is not to use more and more words; the best way is to find exactly the right words. Have you ever told a beloved one that “words can’t express” how much you love them? Well, Pound would say that you’re just being lazy. In his view, words can express a nything, even if it takes an entire year to find the right ones.28. In the short poem, Ezra Pound _____.A. tells us one of his painful experiencesB. compares the passengers’ faces to flowersC. describes a man walking among the crowdD. shows a wet, black tree branch in a metro station29. According to the text, “In a Station of the Metro” was _____.A. based on one of Pound’s paintingsB. first discovered in a waste binC. influenced by haikusD. completed in 191630. Pound and his friends _____.A. stressed the importance of using adjectivesB. were good at describing abstract imagesC. decorated their poems with picturesD. used images to express their ideas31. Pound would probably think one’s hard efforts to find a s ingle right word was_____.A. a bit ridiculousB. very worryingC. rather surprisingD. really worthwhileD★★★★☆“A serious attack on the fairy tale as children’s literature (文学) comes from those who don’t wish children to be frightened,” writes C.S. Lewis in an essay.Those who say that children must not be frightened mean two things. First, they mean that we mustn’t do anything likely to make children frightened. Secondly, they want to keep out of their minds the fact that they are born into a world of death, violence, pain, and adventure. C.S. Lewis says he agrees with the first reason, but not the second.He comments that “since it is so likely that they will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. By limiting your child to blameless stories of child life in which nothing at all alarming ever happens, you would fail to drive away the terrors, but would succeed in driving away all that can make them brave.”I love the story about St. George. It may be hard to find, but make an effort to make your children familiar with St. George and the Dragon by Margaret Hodges to see the best of this tale. It is a successful adaptation (改写本) from Spenser’s Faierie Queen. It begins with “In the days when monsters and giants and fairy folk lived in England, a noble knight was riding across the plain ...” It’s a keeper, if you can find one to buy.Bruno Bettelheim, a well-known child psychologist, also comments that fairy tales provide children with an invaluable education. He believes that all children have a rich supply of personal fantasies filled with fears and anxieties and that fairy tales comfort them and offer solutions. Happy endings tell them that solutions and hope are real and model the kind of happy life children want to find.A good fantasy suggests rather than tells possible answers to life. I believe that reading fantasy literature quickens the ability to transfer (转移) ideas from tales to reality. It’s what good literature does — it makes life larger.32. C.S. Lewis may probably agree that _____.A. children shouldn’t be exposed to death or v iolenceB. children should be brave and have rich imaginationC. children shouldn’t be allowed to read frightening storiesD. children should read fairy tales to learn about the real world33. What do we know about St. George and the Dragon?A. It is worth keeping.B. It was written by Spenser.C. It tells a beautiful love story.D. It is difficult for children to read.34. In the text, Bruno Bettelheim believes that fairy tales _____.A. show what happy life isB. are filled with fears and painC. cause children too much anxietyD. teach children how to solve problems35. What would be the best title for the text?A. What books children should readB. Whether people should read fairy talesC. How parents should choose books for kidsD.

After the wedding and reception, rather serendipitously(意外收获地) four of us gathered in a hotel room and began to explore the deeper meaningof life and death. What does it mean to live truly? If we are all getting closer todeath, is all the material accumulation worth it? It is not exactly the type ofconversations one has at a wedding.While the answers varied from person to person, I was left with more questionsthan answers and a feeling of gratefulness to be surrounded by friends who were askingthe “right” questions. As the clock kept ticking past 3 am, one of the roommatessuggested we watch a short film titled, “Last Days of Zach Sobiech.” The premiseof the film is about a teenager’s journey through the last days of his terminal illness.The film brought up a lot of mixed emotions but one quote that stood out for me wasZach’s simple explanation of happiness, “what makes one happy is seeing someoneelse smile because you put it there.” By 4 am, there was this energy in the roomthat had to be shared! With a few packages of post it notes and sharpies, we hit thehalls of the hotel. We decided to leave short inspirational words on guests’ doors,so when they open their doors few hours later a smile would turn up.We ended up tagging all the doors until we ran out of post­it notes. The doorof the newlyweds properly said，“ where there is love, there is life.”1．About “exploring the deeper meaning of life and death” at a wedding the authorthinks ________.A．it is interestingB．it is instructiveC．it is not properD．it is rather proper2．The film left the author the deepest impression that ________.A．Zach’s complex explanation of happiness-1-B．Zach’s simple explanation of happinessC．Zach’s terminal illnessD．Zach’s mixed emotions3．What did the author and his friends do after they saw the film?A．They made a smile card with different words for all the doors of the hotelwhere they stayed.B．They helped the people who were in the hotel where they stayed.C．They helped the workers in the hotel where they stayed.D．They knocked at all the doors in the hotel where they stayed.BHome flowers and any garden and office plants certainly decorate( 装 饰 ) ourlife.After a hard day, or just in a bad mood, what can help you？Of course they are— the flowers.Even if you just look at them and see how a favorite flower blossoms,it definitely lifts your spirits.Home flowers, of course, will make your homecomfortable and beautiful.Being in the office at work, you are exposed to harmful substances(物质) whichare released(释放) from computers and other office equipment.As is known to all,office plants rid the air of harmful components (成分), while giving off substanceswhich are useful for a person.Therefore，if your office has at least a few plants,you not only can admire them, but also can keep healthy.Decorate your garden with garden flowers, and you’ll notice how positive yourlife will become.Each morning when going out，you’ll see how your garden flowershave grown for the night.When people care for garden flowers and home flowers, theyrelax and even receive the energy of them.Flowers are one of the most beautiful creations of nature.On our website we givedetails on the types of home flowers, garden and office plants, and also give adviceabout care of flowers and creative placement and color combination(组合) — the homefloristry(花业)．In the categories of our site you can find a detailed descriptionof the home and garden flowers, palms and other plants, as well as original ideasabout home floristry with photos.In order to find the information, you can use oureasy navigation (向导) of the site.4．When you see a favorite flower blossoms, you’ll ________.A．feel very sadB．feel quite surprisedC．go out of mindD．be in high spirits-2-5．We can infer from the second paragraph that ________.

A．how many kinds of home flowers, garden and office plants are offered B．how to care for different kinds of flowers C．how to lay out flowers in your home D．how the home floristry has been developing in recent yearsC Long ago, poems were recited out loud instead of being written down. When the Greeks first started the Olympics, they held poetry contests as well as athletic competitions. Now, poetry competitions have been revived. This year 120,000 high school students competed in the first Poetry Out Loud national recitation contest, performing poems from memory for $100,000 in prizes. The first competitions were held in classrooms. The winners went on to school­wide contests, and then they competed in city and state competitions. Finally, the 50 state champions, along with the District of Columbia champion, descended upon Washington, D．C., last week for the ultimate showdown. After the 51 champions competed against one another, 12 went on to the finals. Then the field was narrowed to five. The final five had one last chance to “perform” a poem. The overall champ, Jackson Hille, a high school senior from Ohio, won a $ 20,000 scholarship. The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation started Poetry Out Loud because they realized that hearing a poem performed is a different experience-3-from reading it on a page.It’s not just a matter of saying the words in the right order. It’s the toneof voice, the pauses, the gestures, and the attitude of the person performing thatbring the words to life. “Each time we hear somebody recite a poem, we understandagain what we found fresh and interesting about it，” says National Public Radiobroadcaster Scott Simon, master of ceremonies for the finals. Hearing it in a newvoice offers something new for the listener.Not only do the people hearing poems have a new experience, memorizing andpresenting poems helps the participants understand those poems in a new way. Anotherbenefit of a competition such as Poetry Out Loud is that the participants learnpublic­speaking skills that can help them for life.8．From the first paragraph, we can know ________.A．the Greeks were the first to write pomesB．the Olympics used to start with poem recitingC．poems were spread orally in the pastD．athletes were asked to recite poems before competing9．How many rounds of competitions did the champions take before they went toWashington, D. C．？A．Three.B．Four.C．Five.D．Six.10．According to the passage, hearing a poem recited by different people can________.A．bring a new life to listenersB．help listeners find their interestC．make listeners learn the words D．offer something new to listeners11．One benefit the participants get from poem recitation competitions is thatthey can ________.A．become skilled in speaking in public B．write good poems themselvesC．change their attitudes towards lifeD．make friends with many greatpoetsDPeople_seldom_feel_neutral_about_poetry.Those who love it sometimes give theimpression that it is an adequate substitute for food, shelter, and love. It isn’t. Words, no matter how satisfying, are never an equivalent for life itself and itshuman experiences. Those who dislike poetry on principle sometimes claim, on the other-4-hand, that poetry is only words and good for nothing. That’s not true either. It is easy to become frustrated by words in poetry or in life — but when words represent and recreate genuine human feelings, as they often do in poetry, they can be very important. Poetry is an experience of words, and those who know how to read poetry can easily extend their experience of life, their sense of what other people are like, their awareness of themselves, and their range of human feelings.One reason poetry can be so important is that it is so closely concerned with feelings. Poetry is often full of ideas, too, and sometimes poems can be powerful experiences of the mind, but most poems are primarily about how people feel rather than how people think. Poems provide, in fact, a language for feeling, and one of poetry’s most outstanding values involves its attempt to express the inexpressible. How can anyone, for example, put into words what it means to be in love or what it feels like to lose someone one cares about? Poetry tries, and it often captures exactly the shade of emotion that feels just right to a reader. No single poem can be said to express all the things that love or death feels like, or means, but one of the joys of experiencing poetry occurs when we read a poem and want to say, “Yes, that is just what it is like; I know exactly what that line means but I’ve never been able to express it so well.” Poetry can be the voice of our feelings even when our minds are speechless with grief or joy.12．“People seldom feel neutral about poetry” in Para.1 in this context means that ________.A．many people think that poetry is neutral B．people always differ in their views about poetry C．people rarely take a biased opinion about poetry D．people generally think of poetry as extremely important or totally useless 13．The author suggests that ________. A．poetry often captures real human feelings B．poetry makes its readers sentimental (感性的) C．poetry is more important than words D．poetry tends to make the reader disappointed 14．Poetry tries, persistently, to express ________. A．what love and death mean B．what people think about themselves C．what people feel but find it hard to describe-5-D．how people go through life15．This passage is mainly about ________.A．the structure of poetryB．the nature and importance of poetryC．the components of poetryD．the appreciation of poetryⅡ.任务型阅读Travel LightGetting away for a short time always seems like a great idea — until you haveto pack. __16__ The rule is: pack light.

B．Kept. C．Introduced. D．Deserted.18．Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?A．Because English and French share similar pronunciations.B．Because English grammar and French grammar are similar.C．Because a large number of English words have French origins.D．Because English has great influences on the French language.19．French grammar is distinct from English grammar in that________.A．no words have the same pronunciationsB．all words have the same pronunciationsC．English nouns have a male or female genderD．French nouns have different adjective forms20．What conclusion can we draw from the text?A．Language is closely related to history and culture.B．French and English words have nothing in common.C．Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.D．English combines French and the native Anglo-Saxon.BOne bitterly cold day,a snowstorm blew into ourarea.Needing firewood,I quickly set out with my bestfriend,Bruce,to look for a tree to cut down.I was glad to haveBruce along with.Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can bedangerous.So it was important to have a friend who could warnme of danger.When I chose a big tree about 23 meters tall and preparedto cut it down,my best friend suddenly warned me,“Don’t cutdown that tree！It’s too close to the power line！”I wasn’t sure about it.So I decided to disregard his warning.I wanted to finish the job quickly and go home.So I began cutting down thetree.When the tree fell,there was no longer any doubt that my friend was right.The tree caught the power line,bringing it to the ground.I considered cutting the tree off the line.After all,electricity can’t travel through wood,so I could safely remove the tree.As I reached out my finger to touch the tree,pain ran up my arm and through my head.I was shocked!After I returned home and told my mother what had happened,she quickly called the power company.The workers from the power company soon arrived on the scene.One of them asked if I had touched the tree,and when I told him I had,his face turned pale.“You should have been killed,” he said.So why am I still alive？It was my boots that saved my life.Within two hours,the workers removed the tree.Soon the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother.Even though she was glad I wasn’t hurt,my mother was still serious.After all,I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.Through this experience,I learn it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective.Taking time to listen might actually save a lot of time and trouble.It certainly would have kept me from getting the “shock” of my life.21．The underlined word “disregard” in the second paragraph means “________”．A．pay no attention to B．take notice ofC．consider D．follow22．In spite of Bruce’s warning,the author still cut down the tree because________.A．he was sure there would be nothing to happenB．he wasn’t sure if Bruce was right and was anxious to go homeC．he didn’t hear his friend’s warning at all because of the blowing windD．he knew electricity can’t travel through wood23．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．But for his boots,the author would have died.B．The author regretted having brushed off his friend’s warning.C．The author knew nothing about electricity.D．When the tree was cut down,the author realized his friend was right.24．The underlined part “the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother”means “________”．A．my mother was still angry with me for not listening to my friend’s warningB．my mother was still in fear of the terrible accidentC．my mother was still comforting meD．my mother was still worried about my safety25．The author wrote the passage mainly to________.A．give an account of one of his terrible experiencesB．make us know it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective through his experienceC．tell us not to cut trees down any moreD．remind us to be careful while we are working1.D2.D3.C4.A5.A6.B7.C8.D9.C 10.B 11.C 12.A 13.B 14.C15.D 16.C 17.B 18.C 19.D 20.A 21.A 22.B 23.C 24.B 25.B。

AA trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. To get the most out of your visit, read our tips below：Visit at NightRiding up the Eiffel Tower at night and looking out over the streets of Paris, you’ll see why Paris is known as the “City of Light”. At street level, the spotlights on the top of the Tower zoom across the Paris skyline, and the reflections of the Tower in the Seine are sights not to be missed.Purchase Y our Ticket in Advance OnlineBypass the long ticket lines at the Eiffel Tower by purchasing your ticket online from the Eiffel Tower website. You’ll pick a time to visit, and then select whether to print out the ticket or display it on your phone or iPad a convenient option if you buy your ticket in Paris without easy access to a printer.Don’t Bring Valuable Objects with YouBefore entering the Eiffel Tower, your bags will be examined by a security officer. If an item you are carrying sets off the metal detector, the officer will take you away from the line for further inspection. We’ve stood in line for hours behind people who missed their chance to go up the Eiffel Tower.Have Drinks and Snacks at the Eiffel TowerIf you’re like us, after an exciting trip to the Eiffel Tower, you’ll be ready to rest your legs and have a relaxing snack and a drink in a Parisian cafe. Across the Seine in the Trocadero area, there are many elegant cafes. The atmosphere is great, but the prices are in the stratosphere. Actually, the perfect place for common visitors to eat and drink is on the Eiffel Tower itself.1. For what reason does the author suggest visiting the Tower at night?A.

Wounded soldiers have a better chance of survival if they get help soon after being hurt and are quickly taken to a hospital or clinic. But soldiers who do not have medical training may not know how to help their injured friends.Doctors and engineers have developed what they call an “intelligent backpack”. It has a computer and electronic measuring devices. The backpack also has robotic instruments and medicines ready to give to injured troops.About 16 doctors and engineers from the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University and several other places are working on the project. The U. S. Department of Defense has given money to the project.Ron Poropatich leads the project. He is a retired army surgeon. He says the backpack will help soldiers care for those who are injured. The devices included in the backpack can monitor a person’s h eart rate and blood pressure. The robotic instruments can even tell whether the soldier has a collapsed lung.The intelligent backpack’s computer can compare information gathered about the injured soldier with thousands of similar cases, and quickly tell the best methods to use to save the soldier’s life.Sometimes, it is not always possible to quickly remove the injured soldier from the battlefield. So, Dr. Poropatich says, the researchers hope to create a backpack that will have devices that can keep a soldier alive for a long time. Dr. Poropatich hopes the backpack and its instruments will be ready for testing animals in about three years.5. We can learn from paragraph 1that _________.A. m ost of the soldiers can’t use the backpack correctlyB. soldiers should have taken medical trainingC. war or battle has brought harm to the worldD. the backpack can play a big part in the battlefield6.

It also has an outstanding collection of American and modern art and proudly houses extensive holdings of African, Asian, Oceanic, Indian and Islamic art. Visitors can also find large collections of musical instruments and costumes, as well as antique weapons from around the globe.The Metropolitan Museum of Art was found in 1870.

Many friends, including me, helped with money, meals, lamprey and their dog while they were getting back on their feet.Last week, they sent thank-you notes. My roommate received one addressed to her and I did not. The note was a printed one-size-fits-all message. My roommate realized I didn’t receive a thank-you note, so she sent a private message to the couple just letting them know I had been left out. I didn’t know she had done this until later.The next day, I got a text message apologizing and saying that I had been left out because their friend who addressed the notes must have missed me！(Miss Manners, they didn’t even address the notes themselves！) It was accompanied by a picture of the thank-you note, which was texted to me with the message, “Here is a thank you just for you. ”I was a little annoyed. I helped them in their need and didn’t get a second thought. I have not responded to her text message. Is it fair of me to consider this friendship over?
