My husband made a little two-story house that mirrored our own in color and design for our Little Free Library, while I carefully selected books from our shelves. The idea struck us immediately-instead of loading boxes into the car for yet another used book sale, we could simply walk them to the roadside.
Fifteen or so years later, it’s safe to say that thousands of books, as well as the occasional DVDs, CDs and jigsaw puzzles have been shared through our little library. Located on a busy street just a few blocks from a subway station, our little library sees dozens, perhaps hundreds, of passers-by each day.
Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource. One gentleman regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home. At other times, we have received cards and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized sketch (素描) from a local artist.
Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city. Arabic, French and Russian books are the large part among the dominant English-language books. I have even collected favorite books of mine in languages I don’t understand, simply for the joy of adding another edition to my collection. Surprisingly, our library hasn’t solved our book storage problem-if anything, we now have more books than ever before.
I have heard some complaints that Little Free Libraries do not always serve the purpose of building community and may compete with our public libraries and independent bookstores. This has not been our experience. We continue to buy more books than we need and we are fiercely loyal users of the public system. Our Little Free Library has enhanced our love of reading and has connected us to a community of book lovers in the heart of our busy neighborhood.
24. Why did the author and her husband build the Little Free Library?
A. To prepare for used book sales. B. To make friends with book lovers.
C. To deal with their unwanted books. D. To make use of community resources.
25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. People’s care for the elderly. B. The friendship between library users.
C. People’s love for the Little Free Library. D. The exploration of the community resources.
26. What does the Little Free Library reflect about the neighborhood?
A. Its cultural diversity. B. Its storage problems.
C. Readers’ preferences. D. People’s reading habits.
27. How has the Little Free Library impacted the community?
A. It has strengthened neighborhood connections.
B. It has become a meeting place for local artists.
C It has weakened public libraries to some degree.
D. It has promoted the rise of independent bookstores.
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. A 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文的为一篇记叙文。文章通过叙述作者和她丈夫建立小型免费图书馆的经历,以及这个图书馆如何成为社区中人们分享图书、增强邻里联系的平台,展现了社区文化生活和人际互动的一个温馨场景。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“My husband made a little two-story house that mirrored our own in color and design for our Little Free Library, while I carefully selected books from our shelves. The idea struck us immediately-instead of loading boxes into the car for yet another used book sale, we could simply walk them to the roadside. (我丈夫为我们的免费小图书馆做了一座两层的小房子,颜色和设计都和我们的一样,而我则仔细地从书架上挑选书籍。我们立刻想到了一个主意——与其把箱子装进车里去卖旧书,不如直接把它们送到路边。)”可知,作者和她的丈夫建立这个小型免费图书馆是为了处理他们不再需要的书籍。故选C。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第三段“Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource. One gentleman regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home. At other times, we have received cards and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized sketch (素描) from a local artist. (许多使用我们图书馆的人毫不犹豫地分享他们对这个社区资源的热爱。一位绅士经常路过,为附近的养老院取书。在其他时候,我们收到卡片和礼物,包括巧克力,甚至是当地艺术家的个性化素描。)”可知,第三段主要描述了人们对于这个小型免费图书馆的喜爱之情。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中的“Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city. (就像使用我们图书馆的人一样,来来往往的书反映了我们城市的广泛多样性。)”可知,这个小型免费图书馆反映了社区的文化多样性。故选A。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Our Little Free Library has enhanced our love of reading and has connected us to a community of book lovers in the heart of our busy neighborhood. (我们的免费小图书馆增强了我们对阅读的热爱,并将我们与繁忙社区中心的图书爱好者社区联系起来。)”可知,这个小型免费图书馆增强了社区的联系,让邻里之间的书友联系在了一起。故选A。

BEIJING—Wang Yaping, a taikonaut onboard China’s space station core module (舱), offered people on Earth a zero- gravity musical performance on Tuesday evening to celebrate the Lantern Festival. The space show was shared via a video released at an annual TV gala for the festival celebration. In the video, Wang was seen floating in the space module while playing a guzheng, or Chinese zither. She played a segment of the popular Chinese folk song “Jasmine Flower”.
The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar. People usually hang colorful lanterns, play riddle games and express their wishes and hopes for the future.
The crew members, who traveled to the space station core module on the Shenzhou-13 mission, kept some festive traditions alive as they continued to rotate around the Earth. Commander Zhai Zhigang wrote riddles on red paper scrolls with a brush pen. He displayed the calligraphy together with taikonaut Ye Guangfu and extended festival greetings to the audience. They also sent blessings to athletes at the ongoing Beijing Winter Olympics: “We hope that you all achieve success, gain friendship and harvest your best Olympic experience.”
The video of the space performance was received with much enthusiasm after it was shared on social media platforms. It drew nearly 2 million clicks in one hour after several national media outlets posted it on the Chinese micro-blogging site Sina Weibo.

Stories of immigrants attract me a lot, especially the life stories of Italians who have come to America since the 1700s. In each of these stories I see elements of my own story, that of leaving my birthplace and family and creating a new life in a different culture and in a different language.
The child of Italian immigrants and an award-winning scholar of Italian literature, in the book My Two Italies, Joseph Luzzi struggled to create or find his own identity from an early age. Even more problematic for him was “which” Italy to “choose,” the one he inherited from his family, poor and linked to old traditions and customs he finds rude and somewhat cruel, or the one he finds in literature and art books that show him a country with a modern literary culture.
The choice becomes even sadder as in his professional life he becomes a scholar of Italian literature and culture. He describes episodes of his youth that show the clash between the first and the second generation immigrants that are both funny and tragicomic (悲喜剧式的). These episodes highlight the daily customs his parents brought from their hometown that are in conflict with Joseph’s desire to “fit in” the American culture. Joseph’s visits to Italy as a student and then as a scholar deepen the divide between his two Italies and highlight his quest for identity.
The author’s personal changes are full of quotes and comments on the cultural and political landscape of Italy. I find that his insights on contemporary Italian cultural and political phenomena are particularly interesting. In this book, Joseph touches or comments in depth about several issues concerning Italian life, such as the relationship between dialects and the official “Italian” language, and the Southern “question” or the uneasy interaction between Northern and Southern Italians.
I enjoyed reading this book. It is personal, moving, educational and entertainment. I hope you will enjoy it too!
32. Why is the author interested in stories of immigrants?
A. He left his birthplace to go to America. B. He was a child of Italian immigrants.
C. He lived in America as an immigrant. D. He likes to learn the Italian language.
33. Which of the following is more difficult for Joseph to deal with?
A. Seeking out the the true Italian within himself.
B. Inheriting traditions and customs from his family.
C. Bridging the gap between the rude and modern culture.
D. Finding the country with a modern literacy culture.
34. What does the underlined word “clash” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Interaction. B. Divide. C. Difference. D. Conflict.
35. What can we learn from Joseph’s life?
A. He developed the desire of fitting in American culture after his first visit to Italy.
B. Deep understanding of Italian culture and politics helped him settle inner changes.
C. Joseph’s parents hardly required him to inherit traditional Italian culture and customs.
D. Issues concerning Italian life had a positive impact on the relation within his family.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇书评。文章主要推荐了作家Joseph Luzzi的书《我的两个意大利》,谈论了这本书的写作背景、内容以及作者对这本书的看法。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Stories of immigrants attract me a lot, especially the life stories of Italians who have come to America since the 1700s. In each of these stories I see elements of my own story, that of leaving my birthplace and family and creating a new life in a different culture and in a different language.(移民的故事很吸引我,尤其是18世纪以来来到美国的意大利人的生活故事。在每一个故事中,我都看到了我自己故事的元素,那就是离开我的出生地和家庭,在不同的文化和语言中开始新的生活。)”可知,作者对移民的故事感兴趣是因为他自己作为移民住在美国。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Even more problematic for him was “which” Italy to “choose,” the one he inherited from his family, poor and linked to old traditions and customs he finds rude and somewhat cruel, or the one he finds in literature and art books that show him a country with a modern literary culture.(对他来说,更大的问题是“选择”哪个意大利,是他从贫穷的家庭继承来的,与他认为粗鲁甚至有些残忍的古老传统和习俗有关的意大利,还是他从文学和艺术书籍中找到的,向他展示了一个拥有现代文学文化的国家。)”可知,对Joseph来说更难处理的是寻找自己内心真正的意大利人。故选A。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词下一句“These episodes highlight the daily customs his parents brought from their hometown that are in conflict with Joseph’s desire to “fit in” the American culture. Joseph’s visits to Italy as a student and then as a scholar deepen the divide between his two Italies and highlight his quest for identity.(这些情节突出了他父母从家乡带来的日常习俗,这与Joseph“融入”美国文化的愿望相冲突。Joseph作为学生和学者访问意大利加深了他的两个意大利之间的分歧,并突出了他对身份的追求。)”可知,划线词所在句子表示他描述了自己年轻时第一代和第二代移民之间的冲突,划线词的意思是“冲突、分歧”,和conflict意思相近。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The author’s personal changes are full of quotes and comments on the cultural and political landscape of Italy. I find that his insights on contemporary Italian cultural and political phenomena are particularly interesting.(作者的个人变化充满了对意大利文化和政治景观的引用和评论。我发现他对当代意大利文化和政治现象的见解特别有趣。)”可知,对意大利文化和政治的深刻理解帮助Joseph解决了内心的变化。故选B。

【36题详解】
空处为段落的小标题。根据下文“When telling campfire stories to children, include a bunch of fun and strange names for the characters.”(给孩子们讲篝火故事的时候,给角色起一些有趣而奇怪的名字。)可知,本段论述的内容应该和篝火故事及故事中的人物取名有关。选项B.“使用有趣又陌生的名字”,与下文内容“a bunch of fun and strange names for the characters”相对应,切题,故选B。
【37题详解】
本段的标题“Include animal characters”(包括动物的性格),说明段落描述的内容和动物的性格有关。结合前文“You try to make the bears gentle and the squirrels or deer the more aggressive (好斗的) ones.”(你试图让熊变得温柔,让松鼠或鹿变得更具攻击性。)可知,熊是属于有攻击性的动物,松鼠或鹿一般比较温顺,这里讲的是让这些动物有了其相反的性格,这样的性格赋予是有趣和具有创造性的。所以空处承接前文,讲述这样做的目的就是为了获得开心。选项D.“只要开心并发挥创意就行了”,肯定了前文赋予熊、松鼠及鹿新的性格,可以实现故事的趣味性并让故事变得有创造性,符合题意,故选D。
【38题详解】
根据前文“Take turns”(轮流)及下文“This will often result in unforeseen twists and induce tons of laughter.”(这往往会导致意想不到的转折,并诱发大量的笑声。)表明了轮流的意义,因而空处应具体讲述轮流的方式。选项F.“一个人先讲故事的一部分,另一个人再接下去讲。”描述了轮流的一种方式。切题,故选F。
【39题详解】
根据前文“Do not use a single voice when telling campfire stories to children. ”(给孩子们讲篝火故事时不要只用一个声音。)说明讲篝火故事是的要注意声音不要单调。因而空处应承接前文讲述,单调的声音会产生什么不好的结果。选项G.“这样做甚至会最好的故事也变得枯燥乏味。”承接了前文,引出下文正确的做法“Talk in different tones and use a different infliction for each character. Alternate(交替)between whispering and talking louder.(用不同的语调并针对每个角色采用不同的表达方式。时而轻声细语,时而大声说话。)”,故选G。
【40题详解】
根据前文“Using these tips will make telling campfire stories fun and exciting. ”(使用这些技巧将使讲述篝火故事变得有趣和令人兴奋。)说明使用技巧讲故事会让故事有趣,同时让听众兴奋。后文“Once you get going, the kids may beg for more stories, until your voice is sore(疼的). It will be well worth it.”(一旦你开始了,孩子们可能会乞求更多的故事,直到你的声音酸痛。这一切都是值得的。)说明一旦你用了这些技巧,那么孩子们就会有听故事的渴望。可推知,空处应该讲述要有做好讲故事的准备。选项A.“但是要做好准备”符合题意,故选A。

【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在18岁时,她没有像大多数女孩那样遵循传统的婚姻道路,而是选择了学医。分析句子结构, majority被介词短语修饰,表示特指,且因the majority of为固定句型,含义为“大多数的”,符合句意,故填the。
【57题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意:同上。根据At age 18可知,应填入动词的过去式,表示动作发生在过去,故填chose。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“为什么女孩要学这么多?找到一个好丈夫应该是她们的最终目标!”她的哥哥抱怨道,想到高昂的学费。分析句子结构,可知应填入动名词作主语,表示一般的动作,首字母应大写,故填Finding。

考查非谓语动词。句意:她立即成为PUMC医院妇产科第一位被聘为住院医师的女性。分析句子结构,根据空白处前面名词被序数词the first修饰可知,此处应使用动词不定式作定语,因与其逻辑主语woman之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,应填入不定式的被动形式,表示动作的承受者,故填to be hired。
【62题详解】
考查动词的时态和语态。句意:在六个月内,她被任命为首席住院医师,这个职位通常需要四年才能达到。she和name之间是被动关系,且句子描述的是过去的事实,应使用一般过去时的被动语态,又因为主语she是单数,故填was named。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:同上。分析句子结构,可知应填入关系代词引导定语从句,先行词是a position,在从句中作主语,故填that/which。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:想到所有仍然需要帮助的人,林医生开了一家私人诊所。in need of为固定短语,表示“需要……”含义,故填of。
【65题详解】
考查名词的单复数。句意:她收取非常低的费用治疗病人,经常为贫困病人减少费用。分析句子结构,空白处在句子中作宾语,可知应填入名词的复数,表示多个费用,故填costs。

Peter, a 5-year-old boy, showed such great interest in sea shells that he would rush to pick them up with his 3-year-old sister, Shirley. They screamed out their joy as Peter collected his treasure into his pockets. For Peter, sea shells lay shinning on the peaceful beach, waiting for him, just like stars twinkling(闪烁)in the sky. As waves touched them, they seemed to be flowers blooming(绽放)in gentle wind.
One day, Peter was wandering through market with Shirley, with some shells in his pocket. Suddenly Peter found his younger sister was lagging(落后)behind. He stopped and looked back, finding Shirley was standing in front of a toy shop and was staring at something with great interest.
The boy went back to her and asked, "What do you want?" Shirley pointed at the doll, wearing a smile on her innocent face. Peter held his younger sister's tiny hand, walking into the shop. He tiptoed(踮起脚尖)to reach for the doll, and like a responsible elder brother, gave the precious doll to Shirley. Holding tightly the doll, the sister was very very happy.
The shopkeeper was watching everything and getting amused to see the matured(成熟的)behaviour of the boy. Now the boy came to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, "How much does this doll cost, Sir?”
The shopkeeper was a cool man, who had suffered from something in his life. So he asked the boy with love and affection, "Well, what can you pay?" Peter reached into his clothes for money that was intended for these two little guys' breakfast. Having counted the money, Peter put it carefully on the counter, asking again, 6'Sir, is it enough for my little sister's doll?"
The amusing scene just in front of the shopkeeper eventually brought a smile on his face. Shaking his head slightly, he replied, "My boy, I am afraid it seems not to be enough."

【答案】Version 1
With his eyes fixed on Peter’s pocket, he wondered what Peter would do. Watching Shirley’s smile fading away, Peter frowned. After a while, he seemed to make up his mind. He took out all the shells from his pocket, giving them to the shopkeeper, who took them and started to count as if he had been counting the money. Then he looked at Peter. Peter asked him, “Is it enough now?” The shopkeeper replied, “These are more than the cost.” Saying so, he kept only two shells and returned the remaining and the money. Peter put those shells back into his pocket very happily, leaving with Shirley holding the doll tightly.
Seeing Peter leaving happily with his sister holding the doll tightly, an assistant in that shop got surprised. He asked the shopkeeper, “Sir! You only charge them for 2 shells?!” The shopkeeper said with a smile, “For us these are shells, but for the boy they are treasures. His love for his sister is the most precious.” Watching the lovely kids until they were out of sight, he continued, “When he grows up, he will remember he purchased a doll for his sister with the shells from a shopkeeper. He will cherish love and warmth in life--cherish every little shining sea shell in his heart.”(196词)
Version 2
With his eyes fixed on Peter’s pocket, he wondered what Peter would do. Hesitantly taking out the treasured sea shells in his pockets, Peter asked in a low voice, “Sir, can these help cover the cost?” Watching the 5-year- old carefully lay down all his shining shells on the counter, the man was somewhat touched, but he just pretended to be counting the shells seriously, “Let me see, one, two…Ok. The shells are just enough. You can take the doll and save the money”. Hearing this, Peter felt truly amazed and thanked the shopkeeper, who actually wanted to thank the two little kids, especially when he saw a big smile quickly spread over the little girl’s innocent face. They said goodbye and left happily with the doll.
Seeing Peter leaving happily with his sister holding the doll tightly, an assistant in that shop got surprised. Since his boss had been in such a low mood recently that he seldom wore any smile and talked much. When the shopkeeper turned around and noticed the assistant’s surprised look, he said smilingly, “lovely kids, aren’t they? When I see the little boy is willing to take all he has to buy a doll for his lovely sister, it really warms my heart.” The assistant replied thoughtfully, “When he grows up, he will remember he purchased a doll for his sister with the shells from a shopkeeper, which will surely warm his heart, too.”(209词)

My husband made a little two-story house that mirrored our own in color and design for our Little Free Library, while I carefully selected books from our shelves. The idea struck us immediately-instead of loading boxes into the car for yet another used book sale, we could simply walk them to the roadside.
Fifteen or so years later, it’s safe to say that thousands of books, as well as the occasional DVDs, CDs and jigsaw puzzles have been shared through our little library. Located on a busy street just a few blocks from a subway station, our little library sees dozens, perhaps hundreds, of passers-by each day.
Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource. One gentleman regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home. At other times, we have received cards and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized sketch (素描) from a local artist.
Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city. Arabic, French and Russian books are the large part among the dominant English-language books. I have even collected favorite books of mine in languages I don’t understand, simply for the joy of adding another edition to my collection. Surprisingly, our library hasn’t solved our book storage problem-if anything, we now have more books than ever before.
I have heard some complaints that Little Free Libraries do not always serve the purpose of building community and may compete with our public libraries and independent bookstores. This has not been our experience. We continue to buy more books than we need and we are fiercely loyal users of the public system. Our Little Free Library has enhanced our love of reading and has connected us to a community of book lovers in the heart of our busy neighborhood.
24. Why did the author and her husband build the Little Free Library?
A. To prepare for used book sales. B. To make friends with book lovers.
C. To deal with their unwanted books. D. To make use of community resources.
25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. People’s care for the elderly. B. The friendship between library users.
C. People’s love for the Little Free Library. D. The exploration of the community resources.
26. What does the Little Free Library reflect about the neighborhood?
A. Its cultural diversity. B. Its storage problems.
C. Readers’ preferences. D. People’s reading habits.
27. How has the Little Free Library impacted the community?
A. It has strengthened neighborhood connections.
B. It has become a meeting place for local artists.
C. It has weakened public libraries to some degree.
D. It has promoted the rise of independent bookstores.

BEIJING—Wang Yaping, a taikonaut onboard China’s space station core module (舱), offered people on Earth a zero- gravity musical performance on Tuesday evening to celebrate the Lantern Festival. The space show was shared via a video released at an annual TV gala for the festival celebration. In the video, Wang was seen floating in the space module while playing a guzheng, or Chinese zither. She played a segment of the popular Chinese folk song “Jasmine Flower”.
The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar. People usually hang colorful lanterns, play riddle games and express their wishes and hopes for the future.
The crew members, who traveled to the space station core module on the Shenzhou-13 mission, kept some festive traditions alive as they continued to rotate around the Earth. Commander Zhai Zhigang wrote riddles on red paper scrolls with a brush pen. He displayed the calligraphy together with taikonaut Ye Guangfu and extended festival greetings to the audience. They also sent blessings to athletes at the ongoing Beijing Winter Olympics: “We hope that you all achieve success, gain friendship and harvest your best Olympic experience.”
The video of the space performance was received with much enthusiasm after it was shared on social media platforms. It drew nearly 2 million clicks in one hour after several national media outlets posted it on the Chinese micro-blogging site Sina Weibo. The Weibo account of Zhurong, China’s first rover on Mars, reposted the video, commenting, “The music was so beautiful, and it made me homesick, too.”
The Lantern Festival also marks the last day of the lunar New Year celebration. Though far from home, the festive sentiments in space are the same. The China Manned Space Agency released a video on social media platforms on Tuesday, showing that the taikonauts had decorated the orbiting core module with red lanterns, Chinese knots and paper-cutting decorations. Wearing new clothes, the trio (三人小组) enjoyed the traditions of eating dumplings and posting spring couplets on walls. During the Chinese New Year holiday, they were also spotted watching the Winter Olympics and doing workouts in orbit.
28. How did the mass enjoy the musical performance according to the text?
A. By watching a video coming from a TV gala.
B. By logging on the Internet through computers.
C. By watching the Lantern Festival gala at the scene.
D. By watching a video posted online by Wang Yaping herself.
29. What does the underlined word “rotate” mean according to the context?
A. Access. B. Circle. C. Replace. D. Launch.
30. What can we learn from the text?
A. Wang Yaping shared puzzles on red paper scrolls.
B. Zhai Zhigang showed the calligraphy on his own.
C. The video of the space performance became a great hit.
D. The Beijing Winter Olympics had come to an end when the astronauts sent their regards.
31. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Chinese folk song “Jasmine Flower” is played on space station.
B. China makes major breakthroughs in the outer space exploration.
C. Taikonauts send blessings to the Beijing Winter Olympics athletes
D. Taikonauts keep Lantern Festival traditions alive on space station.
D
Stories of immigrants attract me a lot, especially the life stories of Italians who have come to America since the 1700s. In each of these stories I see elements of my own story, that of leaving my birthplace and family and creating a new life in a different culture and in a different language.
The child of Italian immigrants and an award-winning scholar of Italian literature, in the book My Two Italies, Joseph Luzzi struggled to create or find his own identity from an early age. Even more problematic for him was “which” Italy to “choose,” the one he inherited from his family, poor and linked to old traditions and customs he finds rude and somewhat cruel, or the one he finds in literature and art books that show him a country with a modern literary culture.
The choice becomes even sadder as in his professional life he becomes a scholar of Italian literature and culture. He describes episodes of his youth that show the clash between the first and the second generation immigrants that are both funny and tragicomic (悲喜剧式的). These episodes highlight the daily customs his parents brought from their hometown that are in conflict with Joseph’s desire to “fit in” the American culture. Joseph’s visits to Italy as a student and then as a scholar deepen the divide between his two Italies and highlight his quest for identity.
The author’s personal changes are full of quotes and comments on the cultural and political landscape of Italy. I find that his insights on contemporary Italian cultural and political phenomena are particularly interesting. In this book, Joseph touches or comments in depth about several issues concerning Italian life, such as the relationship between dialects and the official “Italian” language, and the Southern “question” or the uneasy interaction between Northern and Southern Italians.
I enjoyed reading this book. It is personal, moving, educational and entertainment. I hope you will enjoy it too!
32. Why is the author interested in stories of immigrants?
A. He left his birthplace to go to America. B. He was a child of Italian immigrants.
C. He lived in America as an immigrant. D. He likes to learn the Italian language.
33. Which of the following is more difficult for Joseph to deal with?
A. Seeking out the the true Italian within himself.
B. Inheriting traditions and customs from his family.
C. Bridging the gap between the rude and modern culture.
D. Finding the country with a modern literacy culture.
34. What does the underlined word “clash” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Interaction. B. Divide. C. Difference. D. Conflict.
35. What can we learn from Joseph’s life?
A. He developed the desire of fitting in American culture after his first visit to Italy.
B. Deep understanding of Italian culture and politics helped him settle inner changes.
C. Joseph’s parents hardly required him to inherit traditional Italian culture and customs.
D. Issues concerning Italian life had a positive impact on the relation within his family.

They screamed out their joy as Peter collected his treasure into his pockets. For Peter, sea shells lay shinning on the peaceful beach, waiting for him, just like stars twinkling(闪烁)in the sky. As waves touched them, they seemed to be flowers blooming(绽放)in gentle wind.
One day, Peter was wandering through market with Shirley, with some shells in his pocket. Suddenly Peter found his younger sister was lagging(落后)behind. He stopped and looked back, finding Shirley was standing in front of a toy shop and was staring at something with great interest.
The boy went back to her and asked, "What do you want?" Shirley pointed at the doll, wearing a smile on her innocent face. Peter held his younger sister's tiny hand, walking into the shop. He tiptoed(踮起脚尖)to reach for the doll, and like a responsible elder brother, gave the precious doll to Shirley. Holding tightly the doll, the sister was very very happy.
The shopkeeper was watching everything and getting amused to see the matured(成熟的)behaviour of the boy. Now the boy came to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, "How much does this doll cost, Sir?”
