27、19th century.It was written by an Indian author who now lives Denmark,but neither in the language of Hindi nor Danish.Although the paperback（平装本）edition Im holding was published in New Delhi,India,four years ago,I (an American) purchased it recently from a second-hand bookshop in Tokyo,Japan.Thats q
28、uit a history already.But theres more.The novel is a tale of various mysteries,all expertly put into a well-structured story by a very skillful author.Yet my particular copy presents even more mysteries than the tale.One summer morning on the year of my paperbacks publicationon July 15,2012someone e
29、lse was reading it while eating breakfast in a restaurant in Mumbai,India.I know this because I found a receipt of coffee and bread inside.I also know that this person was not the owner of the paperback immediately before me.In fact,the owner before me was not Indian at all,but Japanese.I know this
30、because in the book there are handwritten notes in Japanese- translations of English words with which the reader was unfamiliar.Japanese being a language of characters,not letters,I is not easy to determine if the note writer was a man or a woman.But the care taken to write the translations neatly i
31、n the limited spaces available on each page bespeaks（证明a womans hand.So let us agree that it is a woman.What can we say of her? Well educated,clearly,and probably a university student,who would keep a dictionary at hand while reading a novel.But why did she suddenly stop reading? The last translatio
32、n in my paperback appears on Page 83,less than a third of the way through the novel.Did she give up because the book was proving too difficult? Or was there some other reason?Many a novel presents mysteries,all of which are solved by the end of the tale.The mysteries presented by my little paperback
33、,however,remain mysteries,all expertly put into a well-structured story,not by a skillful writer,but this time by the numberless vagaries（变幻莫测）of life itself.50.What can we learn about the novel?A.It is well written. B.It is about a world trip.C.It was written in an American restaurant. D.It was fir
34、st published in the 19th century.51.In which language is the novel written?A.Hindi. B.Danish. C.English.

35、 in writing the notes53.Whats the best title for the text?A.The Tale of a PaperbackB.Different Life ExperienceC.Unsolved Mysteries of LifeD.A Books Exciting AdventureCArthur Miller(1915-2005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century.Millers father had moved to t
36、he U.S.A.from Austria-Hungary,drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream”. However,he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.Milleys most famous play,Death of a Salesman is a powerful attack on the American sys
37、tem,with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth.In Willy Loman,the hero of the play,we see a man who has got into double with his worth.Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment（情绪）: if he
38、 cant do the work,then he is no good to Ms employer,the Wagner Company,and he must go.Willy is painfully aware of his,and at loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.When it was first staged in 1949,the play was greet
39、ed with enthusiastic reviews,and it won the Tony Award for Best Play,the New York Drama Crities Circle Award,and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury.Connecticut,on the evening of February 10.200
40、5,the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.54.Why did Arthur Millers father move to the U.S.A?A.He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.B.He was attracted by the “Great American Dream”.C.He hoped to make his son a dramatist.D.His family business fai

43、think everything was moving forward but then it appeared to be a false picture.Sometimes,our progress forward takes a turn for the worse and many times it may not be something we necessarily did or did not do. Lots of changes are happening around us and many of them are not under our control.So,what
44、 should we do if this happens?Many people fall into despair.We start to worry and wonder what happened or what to do.For some,this despair is like your car being stuck in the mud and you just sitting there shaking your head but doing nothing only waiting for a magical or someone else to come along a
45、nd save you.But this may not always happen,so we have to accept our own situation,and cant give it to anyone else to help solve the issue.I once had a business issue.At first,I was totally puzzled why issue arose.I felt defeated after working so hard and long to develop a successful business.But I k
46、new I just couldnt accept what had happened,I didnt accept defeat.What next? Give in,quit or try to conquer again?For many of us,the best thing to do now is talk our issues over with close friends.For others,they may not have this opportunity to discuss with their acquaintance in a similar business.
47、For me,I was fortunate enough to discuss these critical business issues with my best friends.I believe it is very important to get back into action,not to think of past successes,or to blame everything and everyone else for problems.After considerable analysis,form a step-by-step action plan and mov
48、e forward steadily.It is easy to give in,quit or become struck in the past.But remember this,it takes just as much energy to move forward as it does to engage in self-destructive blaming and being miserable（悲惨的）.58.What does Paragraph 2 mainly show us?A.The harm of peoples despair.B.The result of fe
49、eling despaired.C.The popularity of peoples despair.D.The way of solving peoples despair.59.What is the intention of the author writing the text?A.To show the need to move forward.B.To show the importance of success.C.To show the possibility to comfort ourselves.D.To show the way to avoid changes ar
50、ound us.60.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.It is not difficult to keep forward.B.It is a shame to blame and be miserable.C.It is up to you to decide to move forward or quit.D.Many people prefer to give in to their problems.笫卷 非选择题（共25分）第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）It is now possib

52、rowth in televised sport?For on thing,with digital broadcasting,there are now many more TV channels than there were even ten years ago.Moreover,sport has become an important form of entertainment,appealing to both men and women.When are the benefits of this state of affairs? One obvious advantage to
53、 the profession is the addition of money provided by television companies.Large football clubs benefit financially from TV income and the top players can command very large salaries.Less popular sports also receive money that can be used in training and awareness-raising.Whats more,there is a health
54、 benefit to some of the population,because through televised sport,more people have become interested in actually playing sport.However,there are some disadvantages if so much sport is on television.Considering football again many small clubs have suffered financial losses recently,as they cannot co
55、mpete with the large ones.There has been a general falling in ticket sales,especially among smaller clubs.Fewer people attend live matches nowadays,preferring to watch from the comfort of their living room.And ticket prices have risen greatly.To sum up,while televised sport has created many opportun
