There is a lot to learn about the creations of Beatrix Potter-not only is she the author
and illustrator of one of the world's most famous children's books,The Tale of Peter
Rabbit,but also a pioneering conservationist with the spirit of a scientist.
郑知
"Potter grew up as the daughter of a wealthy Victorian family,but along with her
brother who filled an entire floor of their large house in London with all sorts of animals,"
said Anne Lundin,a retired professor for the UW-Madison School of Library and
制
Information Studies.
"As an adult,she was a frustrated botanical illustrator and scientist.That field was not
open to her because she was female,"Lundin said.Potter was urged to turn the charming
illustrations and stories she wrote in letters to children into books.She wrote 23 books in
all-a body of work that has inspired plays,ballets,films and an astonishing amount of
merchandise.
"The Tale of Peter Rabbit is probably the most famous children's book in the world,
的
which was published in 1902 and has really stood the test of time.It's been translated into
36 languages.The parents and grandparents will share it with the next generation,"said
都
Lundin.
Potter also made a mark on the world through her land conservation."In many ways,
she was like Peter Rabbit,venturing into a world of adventure and risk.She withdrew from
有
London as soon as she started making some money on her books to the Lake District and
became an extremely important farmer and conservationist.She preserved and passed on 15
好
farms and over 4,000 acres,which were given back to the country as gifts in the 20th
century,"said Lundin.
"Even though she was born 150 years ago,she was amazingly modern-her embracing
of the natural world,"commented Jennifer Blatchley Smith,an artistic director of the show
Peter Rabbit Tales to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Potter's birth.
1.What helped Beatrix Potter to write The Tale of Peter Rabbit successfully?
A.Her life and work experiences.
B.Her specialty in animated(动画)pictures.
C.Her success in becoming a botanical scientist.
D.Her interest in animals in childhood alone.
9-1
2.What is Beatrix Potter?
A.A botanist and artist.
B.An extremely important farmer and successful scientist.
C.A writer,conservationist and farmer.
D.An artistic director.
3.Why does the author write the article?
A.In celebration of Potter's 150th birthday.B.In honour of Potter's new contributions.
C.In praise of Potter's spirit of selflessness.D.In support of Potter's book promotions.
B
Scientists think they have answered a mystery:How some ocean creatures got so huge
so quickly.
A few million years ago,the largest whales,averaged about 15 feet long.Then
seemingly overnight,one type of whale,the toothless baleen whale (became
huge.Modern blue whales get as big as 100 feet.Nicholas Pyenson of the Smithsonian
Natural History Museum said,"Why is that?""It happened in the glance of an evolutionary
eye,which makes it harder to figure out what happened,"said Graham Slater.lead author
of the study.Their study has suggested an answer:Ice ages in the last 3 to 5 million years
started it,changing the oceans and food supply for whales.
The researchers used fossil records of the smaller whales to create a family tree for
baleen whales which include blue whales,humpbacks and right whales.Using computer
simulations (and knowledge about how evolution works,they concluded that when
the size changes started,the poles got colder,ice expanded and the water circulation in the
oceans changed and winds shifted.Slater and Pyenson said cold water went deep and moved
closer to the equator(and then eventually moved back up with small fish and other
small animals that whales eat.
Baleen whales,which have no teeth,feed by eating huge amounts of fish they
capture.Toothed whales,.like sperm whales(抹香鯨),hunt individual fish,so the ocean
changes that made food less evenly spread out didn't affect them as much.But baleen
whales hunt schools of fish.
Olivier Lambert at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences calls it "a really
convincing situation".But he said the lack of fossils in certain time periods is an issue.As
oceans warm from man-made climate change,the seas will be more like it was when the
whales were smaller and they will have a more difficult time surviving.
4.What does the author mean by "It happened in the glance of an evolutionary eye"in the
second paragraph?
A.The change of baleen whales happened too quickly.
B.The change of baleen whales was too difficult to explore.
C.Researchers paid little attention to the change of baleen whales.
D.Researchers thought the change of baleen whales was unimportant.
9-2
5.What played the key role in baleen whales'becoming huge?
A.Man-made climate change.
B.Its eating a huge amount of fish.
C.The water circulation in the oceans.
D.The increase of food supply for whales.
6.What do we know about sperm whales and blue whales according to the text?
A.Sperm whales eat more food.
B.Blue whales live much longer.
C.Sperm whales prefer to hunt schools of fish.
D.Blue whales usually swallow schools of fish.
7.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.There are no whale fossils now.
B.The whales may become even bigger.
C.Global warming has threatened the whales.
D.Olivier Lamber thinks the study is perfect.
C
Mark Twain left school when he was twelve.He had little school education.In spite of
this,he became the most famous writer of his time.He made millions of dollars by writing.
His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens,but he is better known all over the world
as Mark Twain,his pen name.
Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby.In fact,he was not
expected to live through the first winter.But with his mother's tender care,he managed to
survive.As a boy,he caused much trouble for his parents.He used to play jokes on all of
his friends and neighbours.He didn't like to go to school,and he constantly ran away from
home.He always went in the direction of the nearby Mississippi River.He was nearly
drowned nine times.
After his father's death in 1847,Mark Twain began to work for a printer,who only
provided him with food and clothing.Then,he worked as a printer,a river-boat pilot and
later joined the army.But shortly after that he became a miner.During this period,he
started to write short stories.Afterwards he became a full-time writer.
In 1870,Mark Twain got married.In the years that followed he wrote many books
including Tom Sawyer in 1876,and Huckleberry Finn in 1884,which made him famous,
and brought him a great fortune.
Unfortunately,Mark Twain got into debts in bad investments()and he had to
write large numbers of stories to pay these debts.In 1904,his wife died,and then three of
their children passed away.
At the age of 70,his hair was completely white.He bought many white suits and
neckties.He wore nothing but white from head to foot until his death on April 21,1910.

The term“liberal bubble”(自由泡沫)suggests that people usually surround
themselves with those who hold similar opinions to them.Think about your own social
media platforms(社交媒体平台)一who your Facebook friends are,and who you follow on
Instagram and Twitter.You probably share a lot of opinions with most,if not all,of them.
However,if you're used to everyone agreeing with you all the time,it becomes difficult to
have a good conversation with someone who disagrees.
The world is full of experiences,realities,and history.It would be naive()to
believe that only your views are correct.We should always make space for the possibility
that someone who looks different might have something valuable to offer the world.
Carefully listening and being curious about different perspectives,in most cases,can help
build bridges instead of walls.We all benefit when we listen carefully-even if we finally
conclude that we disagree.
The world we live in is increasingly divided,especially on social media,which means
that for most,the only opinions we hear are ones that agree with our own thoughts.So how
can we have productive discussions with people who think differently than us?First,follow
people who don't look like you on social media.Follow people with different skills.Follow
people of many different nationalities.Just reading their day-to-day thoughts,in addition to
seeing their bigger moments,will help you learn about worlds you didn't even know.It'll
help you understand where people are coming from when they do or say something you
might push back on at the beginning.As far as having productive discussions,don't try to
win others over to your side.Just listen to each other.Respect your differences.Another
way is to join a club or organization where many people have different views and are willing
to debate with love.
9-4
12.What are people very likely to do when communicating on the Internet?
A.Ignore views that disagree with theirs.
B.Fall into the trap of poor conflicting opinions.
C.Follow various friends on different platforms.
D.Share their opinions with people who disagree.
13.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?
A.How to make sure your views are correct.
B.The reasons why people have different views.
C.The importance of being exposed to different views.
D.How to communicate with people who disagree.
14.What does a productive discussion mean according to the text?
A.The two sides always reach an agreement.
B.The other finally agrees with your thoughts.
C.You discuss with people who are wiser than you.
D.You get valuable information during the discussion.
15.What does the text suggest people do about having productive discussions?
A.Keep away from social media.
B.Get involved in others'daily lives.
C.Avoid expressing your own opinions.
D.Realize why people behave in a certain way.

The beginnings of the Globe Theatre
The Globe Theatre is one of the most well-known theatres in the world.In 1996,it was
voted for the "best attraction in Europe".However,this version of the Globe,completed in
the mid-1990s with funds from the Shakespeare Globe Playhouse Trust,is not the original
Globe built in the 1500s.
During the 16th century,plays were popular entertainment among all kinds of people
from wealthy nobles to the working class.16 Actors performed in small hotels
throughout the countryside and in London.James Burbage,an actor and painter,built the
first public playhouse in England called The Theatre because it was the first ever built in
London.Now the audience could come to the actors rather than the other way around.17
When Burbage died,his sons Cuthbert and Richard took over The Theatre.The land,
however,on which the playhouse was built was not owned by Burbage.18 The actors
decided they would build their own theatre.They rented land near another theatre,The
Rose,and used wood from The Theatre to build the first Globe Theatre.It was here that
Shakespeare's famous plays were performed.19 The actors'love for the Globe was so
9-5
strong that when it burned down in 1613,they pooled their own money to rebuild it,
making it even better than before with beautiful decorations and details adorning (
the stage.20
A.The Theatre was a huge success.
B.This theatre could hold several thousand people!
C.Queen Elizabeth I of England had a great love for plays.
D.When one enters the Globe Theatre,one is in the greatest theater.
E.A man named Giles Allen owned the land and didn't want to rent the land to them.
F.Success was immediate and the Globe Theatre was a favorite of audiences and actors.
G.Even though this version of the Globe Theatre didn't survive through the century,its
influence lives on.

续写的词数应为150左右。
From the first day he entered my classroom,Willard P.Frank existed in his own
world,shutting out his classmates and me.My attempts at building a friendly relationship
with him were met with complete indifference.I could see that his classmates fared no
better.Willard was strictly a loner who seemed to have no desire or need to break his
silence.
Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday,we received word of the annual Christmas
collection of money for the less fortunate people in our school district.
"Christmas is a season of giving,"I told my students."There are a few students in the
school who might not have a happy holiday season.By contributing to our Christmas
collection,you will help buy food,clothing and toys for these needy people.We will start
the collection tomorrow.
When I called for the contributions the next day,I discovered that almost everyone
had forgotten except for Willard P.Frank.The boy dug deep into his pants pockets as he
walked slowly to my desk.Carefully,he dropped two quarters into the small container.
"I don't need milk for lunch,"he mumbled.For a moment,just a moment,he smiled.
Then he turned and walked back to his desk.
That night,after school,I took our few contributions to the school principal.I
couldn't help sharing the incident that had taken place.
"I may be wrong,but I believe Willard might be getting ready to become a part of the
world around him,"I told the principal.
"Yes,he nodded."And we might do well to have him share a bit of his world with
us.I just received a list of the poor families in our school who most need help through the
Christmas collection.Here,take a look at it."
As I gazed down to read,I discovered Willard P.Frank and his family were the top
names on the list.Seeing this,I decided to do something for him.
Paragraph 1:
On that Sunday,I paid a visit to Willard's family.
Paragraph 2:
The next day,I had a special class for Willard.
