35、1. B. William Faulkner: Novels 1926- 1929. C. Henry James: Novels 1901- 1902. D. American Movie Critics.BIt all began with a stop at a red light.Kevin Salwen was driving his 14-year-old daughter, Hannah, back from a sleepover in 2006. While waiting at a traffic light, they saw a black Mercedes Coupe
36、 on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other.“Dad, if that man had a less nice car, that man there could have a meal.” Hannah protested. The light changed and they drove on, but Hannah was too young to be reasonable. She pestered (纠缠) her parents about inequity, insisting that she w
37、anted to do something.“What do you want to do?” her mom responded. “Sell our house?”Warning! Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager. Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the proceeds (收入) to charity, while using the other half to buy a m
38、ore modest replacement home.Eventually, thats what the family did. The project crazy, impetuous (鲁莽的) and absolutely inspiring is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month: The Power of Half. Its a book that, frankly, Id be nervous about leaving aro
39、und where my own teenage kids might find it. An impressionable child reads this, and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street.At a time of enormous needs in Haiti and elsewhere, when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes
40、, the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help. In a column a week ago, it described neurological evidence from brain scans that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more
41、primary satisfaction. The Salwens experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness.Mr. Salwen and his wife, Joan, had always assumed that their kids would be better off in a bigger house. But after they downsized, there was much less space to retreat to, so the family members spent more tim
42、e around each other. A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house.56. What does the underlined word “inequity” most probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Unfairness. B. Satisfaction. C. Personal attitude. D. Reasonable statement.57. What is suggested in the underlined senten
43、ce “Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager.” in Paragraph 5? A. Never give a quick answer to an idealistic teenager. B. Unless a child is realistic, never give an answer immediately. C. Give an answer if the child is reasonable. D. Dont respond to a childs demands firmly without con
44、sideration.58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Mercedes Coupe is only an ordinary car which is quite cheap. B. Unselfishness has nothing to do with peoples primary satisfaction. C. Hannah asked her parents to do charity and they sold their house. D. The writers
45、 children asked him to sell their house.59. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The Salwens regretted selling their house. B. The family members get much closer. C. Small houses can bring happiness. D. The Salwens intend to buy another big house.60. The best title for the passage should be
46、 “_”. A. The Less, the Better B. An Expected Satisfaction C. Something We Can Live Without D. Somewhat Crazy but InspiringCThe ancient Greek philosopher Plato said, “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and joy to life and to ev
47、erything.”This is one of Don Spencers favorite mottos that he firmly believes. For the former Play School presenter and founder of the Australian Childrens Music Foundation, this motto forms the basis of the message he is trying to put across that music should be a necessary part of a childs educati
48、on. “We know that music brings joy and comfort, and makes us feel happy,” Spencer says. “But research has also discovered music plays a powerful role in the mental development of children. Music inspires creativity, imagination and self-expression. It also builds self-respect and is good for memory
49、skills.”The power of musicMuch research supports both Spencer and Plato. A Stanford University study found that musical training improves the way the brain processes the spoken word. It showed that musical experience can help the brain improve its ability to distinguish between rapidly changing soun
50、ds, a key skill in understanding and using language. Research from Canada found that children aged four to six years old who had music lessons had better memories, as well as higher ability to read and write and maths levels. Another study, from the US, showed that children aged five to seven years
51、who had been falling behind in their school performance caught up with those who are of the same age in reading, and were ahead of them in maths, after just seven months of music lessons. Not in the curriculumResearch shows its not that smart kids play music; its that music makes kids smarter. It su
52、pports Spencers call for music to be a standard part of the school curriculum, like English and maths. “Music is everywhere, but not at 75 per cent of public schools around Australia who dont have a devoted music teacher,” Spencer says. “Its sad that many children dont have access to formal musical
53、education, particularly when it has such an effect on a childs development.” Its up to parents!Involving our children in music doesnt have to be expensive. And many parents give their kids musical exposure subliminally (下意识地), be it through singing, the radio or stereo. But parents can take it to th
54、e next level by talking about music and exposing kids to different styles. For many older children, music is part of their culture and while parents dont have to like it, they can still engage their kids in conversation about it. Ideally, Spencer would like every child to learn an instrument. “Kids
55、can access cheap instruments like a ukulele, recorder or harmonica,” Spencer says. He says the Internet has a lot of free videos which teach you how to play instruments. “I cant stress enough how important music is,” he says. “It builds relationships, unites people and, most importantly, it is fun.”
56、61. Platos words are mentioned at the beginning of the text to show that _. A. music has magic power B. everything is related to music C. Don Spencer admires Plato D. music was important in ancient time62. Which of the following is the main point Don Spencer states in the passage? A. Music is import
57、ant to a childs mental health. B. Music is important to a childs education. C. Music can improve ones skills in communication. D. Music can help people to distinguish different sounds. 63. From the different researches mentioned in the passage, we can learn _. A. music can make children smarter B. c
58、hildren aged four to six have better memories C. there are no professional music teachers in Australia D. music is a standard part of the school curriculum in most schools64. It can be inferred from the last four paragraphs that _. A. parents always expose their children to different music B. parent
59、s cannot talk about music with their older children C. musical instruments are often expensive and not available D. people can have easy access to a certain kind of musical instrument65. What might be the best title for the passage? A. When Music Is Taught B. Why Music Matters C. What We Learn from
60、MusicD. How Children Learn MusicDThe latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not I.Q., a generally bad predictor of success. Instead, its PURPOSEFUL PRACTICE. Top performers spend more hours practising their craft. It you wanted to picture how
61、 a typical genius might develop, youd take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldnt have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar qualit
62、ies. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or shared the same birthday.This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would give her some idea of a fascinating circle who might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she w
63、as 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fueling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field. Shed be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understan
64、d its inner workings.Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused. By practising in this way, she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious, automatically performed skills. By practising slow
65、ly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of feedback, viewing her performance from the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to tak
66、e on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problemshow do I get characters into a roomdozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or solve future problems.The primary quality our young writer possesses is not some mysterious genius.
67、Its the ability to develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine; the latest research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by genetics and what were “hard-wired” to do. And its true that genes
68、play a role in our capabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves through behaviour.66. The passage mainly deals with _. A. the function of I.Q. in cultivating a writer B. the relationship between genius and success C. the decisive factor in making a genius D. the way of ga
69、ining some sense of distinction 67. By reading novels and writers stories, the girl could _. A. come to understand the inner structure of writing B. join a fascinating circle of writers someday C. share with a novelist her likes and dislikes D. learn from the living examples to establish a sense of
70、security 68. In the girls long painstaking training process, _. A. her adviser forms a primary challenging force to her success B. her writing turns into an automatic pattern of performance C. she acquires the magic of some great achievement D. she comes to realize she is “hard-wired” to write 69. W
71、hich of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “internalize” ? A. to put something into something else or between two things B. to examine something carefully to check that it is correct C. to deal with an emotion or conflict by thinking about it D. to take in a particular idea,
72、attitude, or belief of others70. What can be concluded from the passage? A. As to the growth of a genius, I.Q. doesnt matter, but just his/her effort. B. A responsible adviser is more important than the knowledge of writing. C. What really matters in success is what you do rather than who you are. D

74、it. Cigarette? Cup of coffee? No, its the third most addictive thing in modem life: the cell phone.

The costs are becoming more and more evident, a

A possible version: Dear friends,As we all know, a beautiful environment attracts everyone. To create a more beautiful camp
86、us, every one of us should make it a duty to protect our environment. Here are my suggestions for you. To begin with, it is better for us to keep our classrooms clean and tidy. This is of great benefit to our health and we can learn and play happily in a pleasant environment. Moreover, we are suppos
87、ed to take good care of green plants in our schoolyard and get rid of the habit littering casually. Equally importantly, it is good to pick up litter wherever you see it and throw it in the garbage can. Another good habit is to remember to turn off/out the lights and the water taps when we dont use
88、them. Last but not the least, it is of great significance to recycle as much as possible to make good use of resources. In a word, do keep in mind that our everyday little deeds can indeed contribute to our beautiful campus. So never hesitate to do such small kind acts and, gradually we can have a more beautiful campus to study in. Your action counts! Thank you!
