I used to hate old books.When I say “old books”,I don’t mean classics,though.I mean books with yellow pages,broken spines and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort.One can assume that I didn’t own many old books.I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me,but nothing too special.
In the fourth grade,I was ready to explore a new world of reading,one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics.Just then,I found my parents’ old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series.Visually,my parents’ books were my worst nightmare.I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books.However,I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series,I would have to read my parents’ copies.And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books.
When it was time for me to read the final copy,I was kind of a changed woman.I still strongly disliked old books,but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much that I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like.By the end,I had filled the entire Harry Potter bookshelf in my room.
Now,I love old books.While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book,you can understand what it’s about anyway.After all,an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good.Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now.
1.What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?
A.She had a bad relationship with her parents.
B.She felt uneasy about possessing worn-out books.
C.She developed a taste for reading classic literature.
D.Her parents frequently handed her old books as gifts.
2.How did the author react upon seeing her parents’ Harry Potter set in fourth grade?
A.Puzzled. B.Frightened.
C.Surprised. D.Discouraged.
3.What does the author mean by saying “I was kind of a changed woman” in paragraph 3?
A.She agreed to shelve worn-out books.
B.She discovered her true reading preferences.
C.She began to take pleasure in fictional stories.
D.She started to ignore the books’ outward condition.
4.What is the best title of the text?
A.My Journey with Old Books
B.My Passion for Reading
C.My Meeting with the Harry Potter Series
D.My Connection with Parents via Old Books

(2026河北沧州高二期中)
Getting rid of dirt,in the opinion of most people,is a good thing.However,there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century,people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease,as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in.A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths.By 1538,the French King had closed the bath houses in his kingdom.So did the King of England in 1546.Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way.Henry Ⅳ,King of France,was famously dirty.Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath,the King ordered that,to avoid the attack of disease,the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the asset of dirt was long-lived,dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbour ever since the 18th century.Scientifically speaking,cleaning away dirt is good to health.Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease.Yet,it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ.Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea:clothes need to be whiter than white,cloths ever softer,surfaces to shine.Has the hate for dirt,however,gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays.Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt,which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary,Mary Ruebush,an American immunologist(免疫学家) encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system.And the latter position is gaining some ground.
5.Why did the King of France close the bath houses in the 16th century?
A.He lived healthily in a dirty environment.
B.He thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in.
C.He believed disease could be spread in public baths.
D.He considered bathing as the cause of skin disease.
6.What does the underlined word “asset” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Advantage. B.Lack.
C.Development. D.Shortcoming.
7.How does the text mainly develop?
A.By providing examples.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By following the order of time.
D.By following the order of importance.
8.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To stress the role of dirt.
B.To introduce the history of dirt.
C.To call attention to the danger of dirt.
D.To present the change of views on dirt.

Activity 2
A few days ago,I dropped in at the community theater which had been an essential part of our neighborhood for decades.It used to be a stage where amateur drama groups competed heartily.But later,a professional troupe took over,which brought about a significant transformation.I do feel sympathy for the past,because it held so many precious memories.However,it’s good to see the more professional shows now.It makes me think that though things change,there’s always something new and nice coming along,just like how life always moves forward while still carrying a bit of the past within it.
Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述作者个人对旧书态度的转变过程,展现了作者从厌恶旧书到爱上旧书的心理变化,以及这一变化背后的原因和感受。
1.B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I mean books with yellow pages,broken spines and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort.”以及第二段中的“Visually,my parents’ books were my worst nightmare.I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books.”可知,作者对于阅读旧书这件事心里是很不舒服、很不情愿的。故选B项。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知,作者看到父母的《哈利·波特》系列旧书时,是很消极、很气馁的,觉得自己没办法去读它们。故选D项。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I still strongly disliked old books,but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much that I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like.”可知,作者虽然内心还是不喜欢旧书的外在样子,但已经开始更关注书的内容,也就是说作者此时已经开始忽略书籍的外在状况。故选D项。
4.A 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章开篇讲述自己曾经讨厌旧书,接着描述四年级时因想读《哈利·波特》系列不得不去读父母的旧版书这一经历,过程中自己对旧书的态度逐渐发生变化,最后表示现在已经爱上旧书了,整体是围绕自己与旧书之间态度变化的这一历程展开叙述的。选项A能够很好地概括文章从讨厌旧书到因读《哈利·波特》系列旧书而慢慢改变态度,最后爱上旧书的整个过程,符合文章主旨。故选A项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们对污垢的态度并非固定不变,从16世纪认为污垢能抵御疾病,到18世纪后认为清洁有益健康,再到如今观点仍有分歧的演变过程。
5.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the early 16th century,people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease,as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in.A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths.By 1538,the French King had closed the bath houses in his kingdom.”可知,法国国王关闭浴室是因为他认为公共浴室可能会传播疾病。故选C项。
6.A 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“In the early 16th century,people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease,as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in.”以及第三段中的“Though the belief in the asset of dirt was long-lived,dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbour ever since the 18th century.”可知,16世纪人们认为污垢有抵御疾病的好处,这种信念持续了很久,因此“asset”意为“好处、优势”,与“Advantage”含义一致。故选A项。
7.C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In the early 16th century”“By 1538”以及“in 1546”,第三段中的“since the 18th century”和“since World War Ⅱ”,以及第四段中的“nowadays”可知,文章按照时间顺序展开,介绍了不同时期人们对污垢的态度变化。故选C项。
8.D 推理判断题。通读全文,尤其第一段“Getting rid of dirt,in the opinion of most people,is a good thing.However,there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.”以及尾段中的“Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays.”可知,文章核心是呈现人们对污垢的观点演变,因此作者的写作目的是介绍人们对污垢看法的变化。故选D项。
