BFrom a traveling brochure.CFrom a novel book. DFrom one famous magazine.BThe Great Gatsby, Lord of the Flies, and The Catcher in the Rye . these books are usually among the reading lists given to students in the US. They all have something in common the writers are all white men. As the literary ideas taught in todays schools are often the groundwork for further education, critics believe that reading mostly white male views could have negative effects on students. Scott Campbell, an English teacher at New Trier High School, said he believes this fact comes from social oppression (压迫). “Women a hundred or so years ago were not encouraged or expected that they might write, so were left with literature that seems unbalanced,” Campbell explained. “This is just one of the after-effects of male domination (统治).” Some schools have started to change that. Hancock High School in Michigan has included books that teachers believe to be more culturally relevant to their students. Themes have included power and justice (正义), family and womens rights, which are taught through The Kite Runner and The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts respectively (分别地). Hancock junior Sandra Rodriguez said she welcomes her schools efforts to replace some of the traditional high school reads. “These books just talk about men and men and men. And they never actually show women actually doing something,” she said. “You have to read something you feel good about.” Still, some students warn that theres a fine line between a curriculum (课程) that reflects their culture and one thats trying too hard. “We come from a Hispanic (拉美的) culture, but even when they give us Hispanic books, its like the same book over and over: Hispanic kid wants to go into the white community and not get looked down upon,” said Hancock senior Lisseth Perez.24.Why do the reading lists for American students need improving? A. the literary ideas stated in the books of the lists are out of date B. the lists overemphasize the topic of social oppression C. the lists are dominated by the works of white male authors D. the lists dont contain any works by modern writers25. According to the passage, what kind of novel is the The Kite Runner?A.Valuable family valuesB. the theme of the power and justiceC. Equal rights for men and womenD. Huge changes in the Hispanic community26.What did Lisseth Perez think of the Hispanic bookson her reading list?A. excitingB. boringC. inspiringD. Confusing27. What do the books in the reading lists for American students have in common?A. They are about power and justiceB. They are about families and womens rightsC. They are about social oppressionD. The authors are white menCHu Lis heart sank due to the color of the air. Driving 140 kilometers from Tianjin City to Beijing last week，she held her breath as the air became a charcoal grey haze(炭灰色的阴霾)The 39yearold businesswoman has lived in Beijing for a decade，and this past month，she said，brought the worst air pollution she has ever seen. It gave her husband a cough and left her sevenyearold daughter housebound(足不出户)“My husband as well as I is working here，so we have no choice，” she said.“But if we had a choice，wed like to escape from Beijing.”The extended heavy pollution over the last month，which caused punishment in return for a day last weekcalled the “airpocalypse” by internet users has largely changed the way that Chinese think about the countrys air. On one day，pollution levels were 30 times higher than levels considered safe by the World Health Organization (WHO)Flights were cancelled. Roads were closed. One hospital in east Beijing reported they had treated more than 900 children for breathing issues. Bloomberg found that for most of January，Beijings air was worse than that of an airport smoking area.The smogs(烟雾) most threatening aspect is its high concentration(浓度) of PM 2.5 particulate matter that is small enough to breathe deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream，causing breathing infections，lung cancer and possibly damaging childrens development. The WHO has estimated that outdoor air pollution accounts for two million deaths per year，65% of them in Asia.28Which conclusion can we draw from the first paragraph?AHu Li is living in Beijing.BHu Li traveled to Tianjin for business.CThe haze is harmful to people.DThe pollution is the worst in Beijings history.29The haze affected people mainly in_Athe way they traveledBthe opinion about national airCthe way they lived their lifeDthe life style of internet30From the passage we know high concentration of PM 2.5_Acan lead to chokeBcan cause heart cancer Cwill damage childrens developmentDwill damage peoples organ31Whats the best title for the passage?AHu Lis attitudes to Beijings hazeBThe damages of Beijings hazeCWHO suggests improving Beijings airDWhat caused air pollution in Beijing D Do you believe that things are connected for no scientific reason at all? For example, do you avoid saying the word “four” to avoid bad luck? If so, you have a superstition (迷信). And youre not alone all kinds of people have them. For example, Portugals soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo always steps onto the pitch (球场) with his right foot first, according to The Telegraph. And sports players are not alone in having superstitions. A visitor once asked the Nobel Prize winning scientist Niels Bohr whether he really believed that the horseshoe hed hung at his country home was lucky. “Of course not,” the Danish physicist said. “But I understand its lucky whether you believe in it or not.” One recent study found that even scientists at MIT and other top US schools tended to look for a meaning in natural events, similar to the connection between stepping on the pitch and playing soccer well, according to The Atlantic. When the researchers gave the scientists little time to answer questions, they were twice as likely to agree with statements such as “Trees produce oxygen so that animals can breathe” than they were when they had more time to think about their reply. It seems that fear can make people think differently in this way, too. In a British study, students imagined meeting a “witch” who said she would cast (施魔法) an evil spell on them. About half said a scientist should not be worried about the spell. Yet each of them said that, personally, they wouldnt let the “witch” do it to them. So why are so many of us superstitious? Well, it seems to be our way of dealing with the unknown. “Many people quite simply just want to believe,” Brian Cronk, a professor of psychology at Missouri Western State University, said in a 2008 interview. “The human brain is always trying to work out why things happen, and when the reason is not clear, we tend to make up some pretty bizarre (古怪的) explanations.” And these explanations arent completely unhelpful. In fact, superstitions can sometimes work and bring real luck, according to psychologists at the University of Cologne in Germany in the May 2010 issue of the journal Psychological Science. They found that believing in something can improve performance on a task like an exam. So, what about you? What superstitions do you follow to keep you safe and successful?32. Why does the author mention word four in the first paragraph?A. to prove that it is reasonable to be superstitiousB. to introduce the readers to the topic of superstitionsC. to show how foolish it is to believe in superstitionsD. to discuss the scientific reasons behind superstitions33.How many examples of superstitions are mentioned in the passage? A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D.534.Whats the authors attitude to superstitions?A. Neutral B. Positive C. Negative D. Unknown35. What is the best title of the article?A. How to get rid of superstitionsB. How superstitions affect our daily livesC. How some common superstitions came into beingD. Why superstitions are common第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能 填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” Lao Tzu If you are in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you dont have to be like everyone else. You can be different. You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic. You can be on your iPhone or Blackberry less, and disconnected sometimes. Your environment doesnt control your life you do. Im not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower. _36_1. Do less.Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. Focus not on quantity but on quality. _37_ Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus.2. Have fewer meetings._38_ And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush.3. _39_ When you do the important things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that dont get done. And you need to ask yourself: how necessary are these things? What would happen if I stopped doing them?4. Practice mindfulness. Simply learn to live in the present, rather than things so much about future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with them fully. When you are walking, appreciate your surroundings, no matter where you are.Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed. _40_A. Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary.B. Meetings are usually a “big waste of time”.C. The world likely wont end if you dont pass one of the examinations.D. But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life.E. Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you.F. Pick 2-3 important things or even just one important thing and work on those first.G. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there.第二卷 (共80分)第三部分 英语知识运用（共二节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. Im left _41_.Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other _42_？I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s，_43_ children from different races and religions played and studied _44_ in harmony. At that time my family lived a stones _45_ from Ismails. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hinduwe just _46_ our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well 47 or otherwise.We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, wed _48_ the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to _49_ the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his _50_.When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismails family later returned to their village, and I _51_ touch with him.One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I _52_ my destination. The driver acknowledged my _53_ but did not move off. Instead, he looked _54_ at me. “Raddar？”he said, using my childhood nickname(绰号)I was astonished at being so _55_ addressed (称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two _56_ we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something _57_ to describe.If we can allow our children to be _58_ without prejudice, theyll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be _59_ their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and _60_ we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote，“we are happy since we are brothers”.41A. interested BpleasedCpuzzled Dexcited42A. parties BcitiesCvillages Draces43A. why BwhichChow Dwhen44A. together BaroundCalone Dapart45A. drop BthrowCmove Droll46A. refused BmadeCsought Daccepted47A.plannedBmeant Cthought Ddecided48A. explore BsearchCdiscover Ddesert49A. get through B
