2.Harper Lee,whose 1961 novel To Kill a Mockingbird on the racial troubles of the American deep south,has died at the age of 89.
Until last year,Lee had been something of a one-book literary legend.To Kill a Mockingbird sold more than 40 million copies around the world and earned her a Pulitzer prize,remaining a towering presence in American literature.Another novel,Go Set a Watchman,was controversially published in July 2015 as a"sequel"to Mockingbird,though it was later confirmed to be Mockingbird's first draft.
But from the moment Mockingbird was published to almost instant success,the author consistently avoided public attention.Lee had lived for several years in a nursing home near the house in which she had grown up in Monroeville,Alabama-the setting for Maycomb of her famous book.Her neighbor for 40 years,Sue Sellers,said,"She was such a private person.All she wanted was privacy,but she didn't get much.There was always somebody following her around."
James Naughtie,BBC Books Editor,commented on the novels of Harper Lee:"I think she stands,particularly among American readers,as someone who shone a light into a very dark place.She was writing at a time when people were beginning to lift the lid on everything in the South which they'd chosen not to understand.That all changed in the 1960s.So I think her status for writing that book in its extraordinarily direct way will remain."
24.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?C
A.Lee became successful with stories on American south.
B.People owe Lee's success to luck to some degree.
C.Mockingbird makes Lee a wonder in American literature.
D.Mockingbird was a bestseller by selling 40m copies.
25.What does"Maycomb"in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?C
A.A nursing home.
B.Lee's hometown.
C.A fictional place.
D.A main character.
26.Which best describes Americans'attitude towards racial troubles before the 1960s?B
A.Tolerant.
B.Unconcerned.
C.Sympathetic.
D.Dissatisfied.
27.What can we learn from the text?C
A.Lee based all her stories on her life.
B.Lee had to avoid being followed by her fans.
C.Lee wrote Go Set A Watchman before Mockingbird.
D.Lee lived in the house where she grew up for the whole life.

解答 24.C.詞義猜測題.根據(jù)第二段Until last year,Lee had been something of a one-book literary legend.To Kill a Mockingbird sold more than 40 million copies around the world and earned her a Pulitzer prize可知Mockingbird讓李在美國文學史上一個奇跡;故選C.
25.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章Lee had lived for several years in a nursing home near the house in which she had grown up in Monroeville,Alabama-the setting for Maycomb of her famous book可知Maycomb是一個一個虛構(gòu)的地方用于代表她待著的地方;故選C.
26.B.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章She was writing at a time when people were beginning to lift the lid on everything in the South which they'd chosen not to understand可知1960年代之前美國人對種族問題是不在意的;故選B.
27.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段Another novel,Go Set a Watchman,was controversially published in July 2015 as a"sequel"to Mockingbird,though it was later confirmed to be Mockingbird's first draft可知Go Set a Watchman小說寫于 Mockingbird之前;故選C.

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

16.For three and a half months,I lived,studied and worked in London,England.During my time in the United Kingdom,I traveled to ten countries,I made new friends,took thousands of pictures and broke two pairs of shoes while observing the breathtaking natural wonders.
So,when people ask me,"What was the most amazing part of your study abroad?"I have a hard time giving them an answer.But I know the most important aspect of my study was that I learned more about the world than ever before by observing it through first-hand experience.
As an education student,I believe that one way to create a strong valuable learning experience is by observing something first hand.Whether it is looking at bacteria under a microscope in a lab,analyzing a painting at a museum,or working on communications and team work skills on a group project,learn it in person.
My teachers often encourage us students to gain understanding and knowledge of something from experience.This allows students to take ownership of their learning and develop a personal connection to materials.
Dreaming of being a social study teacher,I believe that learning by doing has extreme value for students to learn about a period in history,region of the world,and economic systems,or culture.
If students are provided the opportunity to go on field trips,examine primary sources,and be immersed in an environment they are studying,they can truly analyze the world around them.
In my future classroom,I want to expose students to the idea of exploration.In every unit,I hope to create an environment where my students actually feel like they are a part of the world they are studying and for them to become world travelers by being active scholars in the classroom.

21.For the author,the most important part of studying abroad is toB.
A.see the international city-London
B.travel to ten countries
C.observe the beauty of natural wonders
D.learn about the world in person
22.What will the author want to do in the future?A
A.Become a teacher.
B.Travel to more countries.
C.Do researches in the lab.
D.Learn to paint.
23.The underlined part"be immersed in"in Paragraph 6refer to"C".
A.be filled with
B.be keen on
C.be involved in
D.be used to
24.What's the main idea of the text?D
A.How to adapt to the study abroad.
B.The advantages of studying abroad.
C.Travel abroad as much as possible.
D.Studying Abroad-Learning From Experience.

7.Zheng Pengyu:Interest is the best teacher.Classrooms that weren't fixed could give students the chance to explore their interests.At the same time,they would be able to learn on their own because they would have to make their own decisions.All in all,the new system would be a good chance to inspire students'love for studying.
Sun Yao:Despite its benefits,I'm worried about whether the new system would work.Going to different classrooms would take up a big part of our break time and we would have less time to relax after class.Also,not all schools could offer so many different classes.
Shi Zhenghan:I support students learning in different classes.It would solve the problem of some students thinking the classes are too easy while some think they are too difficult.Teachers could also teach more effectively.What's more,friendships built while in different classes might be a pleasant surprise.
Zhou Qingqing:In my opinion,studying in different classrooms might affect students'psychological development.They might find it difficult to develop deep and strong friendships with other students if they had to change classrooms constantly.They would also lose their sense of belonging to a certain class.
Hu Qile:I applaud the idea.It would help teachers set up special teaching plans for different classes.For students,making choices by themselves could encourage them to be responsible.Changing classrooms could also help remove the boredom of doing the same dull routine every day.
Wang Xiaoqian:The new system might help with students'individual development,but I still prefer the current system.Studying in one fixed classroom,students with different academic levels can help each other.Spending your senior middle school years with the same classmates is an unforgettable experience.

25.According to Sun Yao,which of the following sentences is TRUE?B
A.The new system will work if great measures are taken.
B.Not every school can afford so many different classes.
C.Students will have more time to relax.
D.He supports the system because of its benefits.
26.Among the following people,who prefers the new system?C
A.Sun Yao
B.Zhou Qingqing 
C.Hu Qile
D.Wang Xiaoqian
27.What is the passage about?C
A.Different opinions about changing classrooms.
B.Students find it difficult to develop friendship.
C.Schools should offer different classes to students.
D.Changing classrooms can help with students'individual development.

14.Driving to a friend's house on a recent evening,I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend's roof-tops.I stopped to watch it for a few moments,thinking about what a pity it was that most citizens,myself included,usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.
My friend had also seen it.He grew up living in a forest in Europe,and the moon meant a lot to him then.It had touched much of his life.
I know the feeling.Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends.We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water.Our group had campfires outside every night,and indoors when it was too cold outside.The moon grew to its fullest during our trip.Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys.Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard.It was one of the quietest places I have ever known,a bottomless well of silence.And above me was the full moon,which struck me deeply.
Today our lives are filled with glass,metal,plastic and fiber-glass.We have televisions,cell phones,papers,electricity,heaters and ovens and air-conditioners,cars,computers.
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day,most of which was spent in doors,I thought that before long I would like to live in a small cottage.There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains,and perhaps write,but not in anger.I may become an old man there,and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons.But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.
25.The writer felt sorry for himself becauseA.
A.he usually failed to see the fullest moon      
B.there was too much pollution
C.he didn't get used to modern inventions 
D.there were too many accidents on the road
26.What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?B
A.No modern equipment.
B.The nice moon.
C.The high mountains.
D.Complete silence.
27.Modern things (in Paragraph 4)are mentioned mainly toC.
A.show that the writer likes city life very much
B.tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life
C.explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature
D.show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them
28.The author wrote the passage toB.
A.show the love for the moonlight
B.express the feeling of returning to nature
C.a(chǎn)dvise modern people to learn to live
D.want to show his longing (渴望) for modern life.

11.When men get together,they seldom talk about their feelings or inner thoughts.However,they talk about a lot,like their newest computer,how to repair their car,or even business.
Talk might move to the best place to find fish or women,jump to computer games,then continue to the sport of the season.They also like to tell jokes each other and spend a fair amount of time playing one-up and boasting(吹牛).Men seldom call each other to chat.
When man meets woman,he usually wants to make a good impression.Many single men try hard to carry on amusing,fun,and pleasant conversations.They use conversation to discover her interests and feelings in order to learn how to be attractive to her.
Some men,either out of nervousness or ignorance,spend most of the time talking about themselves,often appearing to brag about their achievements or talk endlessly about their problems or work.Even the quietest man talks to his woman when love is new.
When women get together,they talk about feelings and relationships,their work and their family.They enjoy talking but also want the give and take of talk,then listen.Women often call each other to chat.Conversation is an important part of most women's 1ives.
As relationships progress,however,many a man turns on the television and forgets how to talk.This raises anger and cry from his woman partner who says,"You never talk to me  anymore."Some men start talking.Many,however,mainly discuss their own achievements and problems.
When the woman starts talking about her favorite subjects:feelings,family,relationships,friends and her work,many men lose interest or bring the conversation back to themselves.Pretty soon,the man is back to staring at the television each night,wondering where his relationship has gone.The woman is talking to her friends,mom,sister,or neighbor,often about that very relationship and how she is hurting.
28.What can we know about men from the first two paragraphs?A
A.They like to talk about practical matters.
B.They are willing to expose their inner thoughts.
C.They prefer to take adventurous travels.
D.They often call each other to chat about work.
