B When 26 (decide)on spring outing destinations,you can get the joy of transforming 2/8 The professor answered his own question."Both are boys in search of a father"And I knew my friend across the corridor,through literature,suddenly understood bis own confusion.He knew in an instinctive way something of vital importance.What was true of those fictive boys was also true of him:he needed to become a guiding father to himself. The class was over.As my friend Dwight and I walked out the door together into the hall,he said without looking at me,"And how can you doubt,Sena,that literature can do good in the world?"Without looking at him,but sure both his eyes and my eyes were shined with tears,I replied,"I know.I know."I knew that literature could and does make ideas and feelings real,dramatic,and accessible in a way that enhances the quality of our lives. And so I gave myself permission to embrace a literary life,both as reader and as writer.If something I might come to write offered one wonderful person anew and needed perspective,then I could justify choosing a life for myself in literature. That was all a very long time ago,about half a century ago.My friend would die in an auto accidemt before he was twenty-one.And I would live to be extraordinarily happy in my choice of professions. This I believe:hat the arts must be a part of education at all levels,that the arts can and do offer us not only pleasure but also invaluable insights into ourselves and our world. 35.What was the embarrassing situation Sena the author of the passage faced? A.She was antracted by Laura's writing but felt extremely cold. B.She did not know how to answer the question but it was important. C.She loved literature but wanted to do something good for humanity. D.She admired her brilliant friend Dwight but he died in an accident. 36.The author of the passage mentioned her friend Dwight to demonstrate A.only he could answer the professor's question B.he was the very person she loved and admired C.literature becomes a guiding father to himself D.literature offers us priceless insights into ourselves 37.It can be concluded that the author decided to A.Tollow her passion for being a doctor B.devote herself to literature in her life C.be a reader to enhance the quality of her life D.be a doctor and engaged in literature sometimes 38.What might be the best title for the passage? A.Life in literature B.A medical career C.An unforgettable lesson D.An unexpected accident B Alan Poe was and is an abnormal figure among the major American writers of his period.It seems to have been true of Poe that no one could look at him without seeing more than they would wish. Poe published The Narrative ofArthur Gordon Pym ofNantucket in 1838,his only novel.Its importance 4/8 is suggested by the fact that his major work comes after It.The Narrative's shortcomings are sometimes nsidered to be the fact that it was written for money as it surely was,and as almost overything olso Poo wrote was also.This is not oxceptional among writers anywhere,though in the ense of Poe it is often treatad as it his having done so were disgracefhl.Bo that as it may,The Norrlive makas its way to n penk ns stronge and powerful as anything to ho found in his greatest tales. The word that reooeurs most importantly in Poe's fietions is horror.His stories are ofton shaped to bring the narrator and the reader to a place where the use of the word is reasonable,where the word and the experienee it arouses are explored or by implieation defined.Perhnps it is because Poc's tnles test the limits of mental heaith and good manners thnt he is both popular and criticized. The Norrorie efArthur Gordon Pm has the grand scale of the ninctcenth-century voynge of discovery, and a different and larger scale in the suggestions that appear as the voyuge goes.on.The Narrative is frequently compared with Moby-Dick,published thirteen years later,after Poc's death.Poe uses whiteness as a highly ambiguous symbol,by no means to be interpreted as purity or holiness or by association with any other positive value.There is blackness,too.in The Narrative,speeifically associated with the populations that live in the regions nearest the South Pole.The native people in Tasmania,the island south of Australia, were said by cxplorers and settlers to be black,and were in any case,with the word "black,"swept into the large category of those related to displacement,exploitation,and worse. Something very like the oecupation of Kentucky by white settlers lics bchind the events that bring Pym to the far-sighted conclusion of his narrative.In the carly yeurs of the nineteenth century the British began what made the native people of Tasmania die out,who had tried to resist white invasion of their island.Such occupations were,of course,a major business of Europeans,or whites,almost everywhere in the world at the time Poc wrote.They,were boasted of as progress.It would have required unusual sensibility in Poe to have taken a difterent.very dark view of the phenomenon.But he was an unusual man.And the horror that fascinated him and gave such dreadful unity to his tales is often the unavoidable,conflict of the self by a perfect justice,the exposure of a guilty aet in a form that makes its reveal a falling back of the mind against itself. Young Pym is simply telling a story of a kind popular at the time,a voyuge adventuro lived out beyond the farthest reaches of exploration.The story is disturbed by its own deeper tendencies,the rising through this surfuce of the kind of recognition.thnt must find expression in another form of literature.As his ship approaches the region of the South Pole,Pym notes the mildness of the climate,coolly listing the resources of the islands,which were assumed by such voyagers to be there for the taking. If The Narrative were a conventional story,the immense roar and the towering flames might attract the notice of a passing sail-and there would be no need for a note explaining its lacking an ending.But the force of the narrative carries it beyond the fate of individunls.toward an engagement with a reality beyond any temporary human drama. 39.What docs the underlined part in Paragraph I mean? A.Allan P'oc was a famous Amerion writer of his period. 8/8 B.People expect too much of the American writer-Alan Poe. C.Unlike other writers,Allan Poe is a unique and unusual writer. D.People think Poe is a popular novelist like other famous writers. 40.Which of the following can describe the characteristic of The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym? A.Poverty is the main theme of the novel B.The novel is full ofjustice elements. C.Blackness can possibly be felt in the novel. D.Whiteness is the obvious symbol of the novel. 41.Which of the following statements is True according to the passage? A.The Narralive is an adventurous story written in a conventional way. B.The Narrative is considered one of Alan Poe's famous novels. C.Allan Poe was misunderstood to write The Narrative for money. D.Readers might not understand why The Narrative ended so abruptly. c Not too many decades ago it seemed"obvious"both to the general public and to sociologists that moder society has changed people's natural relations,loosened their responsibilities to relatives and neighbors,and substituted in their place loose relationships with passing acquaintances.However,in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the "obvious"is not true.It seems that if you are a city resident,you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighbors than you do if you are a resident of a smaller community. But,for the most part,this fact has few significant consequences.It does not necessarily follow that if you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else. Even in very large cities,people maintain close social ties within small,private social worlds.Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationships do not differ between more and less urban people.Small- town residents are more involved with kin(family)than are big-city residents.Yet city dwellers compensate (by developing friendships with people who share similar interests and activities.Urbanism may produce a different style of life,but the quality of life does not differ between town and city.Nor are residents of large communities any likelier to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation,a feeling of not belonging,than are residents of smaller communities.However,city dwellers do worry more about crime,and this leads them to a distrust of strangers. These findings do not imply that urbanism makes little or no difference.If neighbors are strangers to one another,they are less likely to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple living next door or keep an eye out for young trouble makers.Morcover,as Wirth suggested,there may be a link between a community's population size and its social heterogeneity )For instance,sociologists have found much evidence that the size of a community is associated with bad behavior including gambling,drugs,etc.Large-city urbanites are also more likely than their small-town counterparts to have a cosmopolitan(见多识广的)outlook,.to display less responsibility to traditional kinship roles,to vote for leftist political candidates,and to be tolerant of nontraditional religious groups,unpopular political groups,and so-called undesirables.Everything considered, 618 C.A role is a part you play. D.It can be completed at a work site,at home,or somewhere else. E.As a matter of fact,a job is diffcrent from a role in some way. F.For example,computer programmer is an occupation. G.The following is about your work,your family,and your life story. 第三部分书面表达（共4小题；51、52题各2分，53题3分，54题5分：共12分） 阅读与表达：阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区战作各。 When 16-year-old Violet Brill looks out her window,she doesn't see only grass and trees-she sees a great meal.Her father,famous plant expert Steve "Wildman"Brill,carried her along on his foraging()tours from the time she was a little girl. In the past decade or so,a renewed interest in foraging for edible(plants has begun to appear- an interest that has truly blossomed recently. "I think we've had a lot of time to get outdoors,and look around,"says Adele Nozedar,author of Foraging for Kids."There is rapid growth in foraging in the past year." Kids are natural-bom foragers.Take them out into the woods and they'll happily gather fallen leaves,or root around in the undergrowth for hidden treasures.Foraging is definitely a gateway to nature.Kids learn quickly that it's not just a bunch of green stuff outside.All those plants have a purpose. And by encouraging a love of nature,foraging also encourages a love of the environment."Having a seng connection to the land means you're more likely to protect it,"sa*s Dave Hamilton,author of Family Foraging. "And you can't get much more connected to the land than eating from it." Plus,foragingbring good news tor parents of picky eaters:When kids search for and pick their own food, they're more likely to be invested in it.Foraging for wild edibles encourages kids to try new,nutritious foods- especially kids who tend to turn their noses up at the vegetables on their plates. For instance,Hamilton remembers taking a group of boys camping and asking them to gather enough lambsquarters for dinner.They came back with three days'worth of the greens,which he turned into a pesto( 茜) "They absolutely loved it,"he says."There's something empowering about finding your own food. especially for kids.” 51.What interest has begun to appear recently? 52.According to Dave,what is the benefit of foraging? 53.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.
