When the bell rang for recess,children quickly poured out.However,ragged Vincent

高三英语试题第4页共12页
whispering in a far corner,nor the larger group chasing in circles.Initially,he pretended to be
busy with his shoelaces,bending to undo and retie them.After repeating this for five minutes,he
began casting stones at an invisible target-another five minutes gone,with five still left.Then
he just stood there,hands in pockets,then on hips.
Miss Price stood watching,wondering whether to intervene.Knowing the new boy was
adopted from an orphanage filled her with a sense of mission.She managed to control the urge
that day and every day that week.Her anxiety showed in class,though.His schoolwork errors
were excused publicly,while his achievements got special mention.Her campaign to build him
up was painfully obvious.For instance,she would say,"Suppose Vincent Sabella went to the
store with fifteen cents.Candy bars cost five cents each.How many would he have?"He was
well on the way to becoming a teacher's pet.
On Friday,Miss Price decided to speak to him privately.But lunchtime was trying for
Vincent.Unlike others who went home,he had lunch in the classroom from a wrinkled paper
bag,which made for awkwardness.And her visit didn't help.The room still half full,she sat
beside him,obviously sacrificing her lunch break.Mumbling ()he shifted his eyes to the
departing children.With the door closed behind the last child,he finally gave her his full
attention.The more she talked,the more he seemed to relax.She went right on,feeling it was as
simple and satisfying as stroking a cat.

Recently,I was listening to Paul Simon's 1983 album Hearts and Bones again and was
struck by a question:what did it-a weary,bittersweet reflection on a broken relationship-
mean to my younger self?As a teenager with little romantic experience,I believe I was drawn to
the maturity sadness seemed to represent,which hints at a complex joy found within sadness.
But why value sadness when happiness is so universally pursued?Nations measure
well-being through happiness indexes ()and philosophies prioritize increasing joy.Yet,in
reality,we don't seek constant happiness.Sometimes sadness has a cause;sometimes we want to
be.Perhaps emotional variety is preferable to monotony.But there's more to ittsadness holds a
depth that happiness lacks.
Sadness inspires great art in a way that grinningly eating ice cream cannot.Essayist Hartley
Coleridge praised it as a more elegant state of mind than happiness."Melancholy (can
scarce exist in an undegraded spirit-it cannot exist in a mere animal"is how he put it,
suggesting it is more dignified than happiness.I suspect most people feel joy is,at root,a kind of
idiot pleasure.Meloncholy is somehow more grown-up,more sincere,and more authentic.
Just as what evolutionary scientists call"the handicap principle",luxurious traits are useful,
because they are so showily expensive,apparently inconveniencing the owner.They are a way of
saying:I'm so strong.The peacock's tail,for example,despite being a disadvantage attached,
signals desirable genes.Sadness,according to this model,is a kind of obvious consumption.It
takes more muscles to frown than smile,and maybe that's the point.Darwin observed that
sadness appears the same way across all cultures,implying a deep-rooted human capacity.
Happiness can be lovely,but the profound,elegant sadness unlocks aesthetic (world
that happiness can never reach
28.Why did the author like Paul Simon's 1983 album as a teenager?
A.He thought sadness inspired art.
B.He viewed sadness as happiness
C.He experienced broken relationships.
D.He associated sadness with being mature.

29.What's Hartley Coleridge's view on melancholy?
asw buA.Unrelated to art:
B.Rich in variety.
C.Unique to humans.
D.Deep-rooted ini history.
30.Why does the author refer to the peacock's tail?
A.To stress frowning takes more muscles.
B.To show luxurious traits are unnecessary.
C.To prove sadness is apparently convenient.
D.To explain sadness has evolutionary value.
31.What's the best title of this passage?
A.Why the long face?
B.Which is deeper?
C:What's happiness?
D.Where's sadness?

In July,the.University of Chicago's principal announced plans to"restructure"its Division
of the Arts.and Humanities,potentially reducing language instruction,establishing minimum
class sizes and so on.As for why an institution with a huge fund of over $10 billion,renowned
worldwide for its humanities programs,would make such dramatic changes,administrators.
offered a vague reason centered on"historic funding pressures".But what,specifically,are these
pressures?As Clifford Ando;a rdistinguished professorof classics at Chicago,details the
university's leadership has for years spent vast amounts of money,largely on STEM projects,
and then attempted to weaken its Division of the Arts and the Humanities as a means to pay for
these investments.
In fact,as Ando writes,they are the "only staff in the arts and sciences who systematically
pay for themselves:they do not need expensive buildings;the provision of instruction in their
fields is cheap".Thus,it seems to many professors of the humanities that"financial crisis"has
become an excuse for far-reaching changes that are not necessary so much as desired by
university leaders.
Why might university leaders deliberately choose to undereut humanistic education and
research?Many reasons suggest themselves.Surely:the endless reports of artificial intelligence

spelling the end of reading and writing aren't helping matters.STEM fields secure far more
financial aid and thus serve as potentially important sources of income for universities:But we
should not overlook a deeper root traced back to the 19th century.Prior to that time,higher
education in the United States was greatly influenced by the spirit of Renaissance humanism.
The institutions devoted outsized attention to the study of ancient Greek and Roman literature,
key to shaping students'characters.In the late 19th century,reformers shifted their focus to the
scientific method,on which they aimed to recenter higher education.
Amid these changes,American colleges have abandoned their core original mission.They
ought to offer students space for reflection on human life,balance character development with
career training,and preserve human cultural heritage as diligently as.they advance new
knowledge.
32..What accounts for Chicago University's restructuring plan.according to Professor
Ando?
A.Fund shortage.
B.AI's popularity.
C.Humanities'costly instruction.
D.STEM's huge investments.
33.How many reasons are given in Paragraph 3 for undercutting humanities?
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Four.
D.Five.
34.What is the author's attitude towards the changes?
A.Approving.
B.Objective.
C.Critical.
D.Skeptical.
35.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The influence of AI on higher education
B.The development of STEM fields in the US.
C.The financial problem of American universities.
D.The neglect of humanities in American universities.

多余选项。
To be "literate"implies the ability to decode language on its most basic terms,but literacy
also expands to one's ability to "read and write"the world.36Soccer players,for
example,learn the game language.Doctors talk medical terms.Literacy in these specific
languages allows us to navigate,participate in and contribute to such a world.
Famous writers have penned literacy narratives to reveal the journey of language learning.
But you don't have to be famous to tell your own-everyone has their own story to tell about
their relationships with reading and writing.37
Recall a story linked to your personal history of reading and writing.Perhaps you want to
write about your favorite book and its impact.on you.38 Whatever it is,make sure to
consider why this particular story is the most important to tell.Once you've settled on your story,
picture the first scene that comes to mind.Take the story of your favorite book:it may start with
describing where you were when you first got it.39 Where did this lead you in your
writing and reading journey?
Writing literacy narratives can be joyful,but it can also trigger hidden feelings about the
complexities of literacy.40 Writing them down can help us explore these feelings in
order to strengthen our relationship with reading and writing.This,in tumn,deepens our
understanding of ourselves and others
A.Ready to go but stuck for a start?
B.Continue from there to explore further.
C.At any given moment,we all orbit language worlds.
D.Usually,there are powerful lessons and truths found in it.
E.What are your strongest memories of reading and writing?
F.Maybe you remember your first brush with poetry's great power.
G.Many of us carry scars and wounds from early literacy experiences.
