For those thinking we are going to be discussing the Harry Potter novels, I have some bad news for you. When we say “Modern”, we’re referring to a specific period of American literature. There are some arguments over the dates of this period, but the general understanding is that it’s from 1910 to 1945. This period was marked by a big break from the past, and modernist fiction was characterized by themes of disappointment and loss. It is an important period, not just in literature, but in history too, so you have to consider what was happening in the world when reading the books. And there is a lot of reading! Those who have taken my previous classes in Old English Literature and the Romantic Period will know I expect you to complete the main reading list, plus a good amount of the suggested reading list too. Now, it may not surprise you that because of that period, many of the authors were white males, such as T.S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway, but we’ll also look at African American writers whose works are equally important, like novelist Zora Neale Hurston and poet Langston Hughes. Right, let’s begin in 1910. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Four amazing books for childrenTrooFriend Sarah’s parents are always busy, so they invest in the latest artificial intelligence —a TrooFriend560 Mark IV—to keep their daughter company.

She uses used cooking oil to make handmade soap. Her company, JooSoap Studio, now sells soap to famous places, including a Michelin green star restaurant called Nolla. Before moving to Finland to study at Aalto University, Lin learned how to make soap at Taichung Maple Eco-School in Taiwan. This school has taught environmental education since 1996. Twenty years ago, this kind of soap was not very common in Europe. One day, Lin casually mentioned this technique during a university discussion. The enthusiastic response from her classmates encouraged her to turn the idea into a business. After graduation, a difficult job market and visa troubles stood in her way. So she used her special skills to create an unusual career path. JooSoap Studio started with classroom demonstration (演示) in 2011 and was officially registered (注册) in late 2014. Lin said that starting her own business gave her the freedom that regular jobs could not offer at that difficult time. Adapting to Finnish culture has been key to her success. In Taiwan, big workshops can make thousands of soap bars a day. But Finnish people prefer a slower, more careful way of living — they like to make only what they need. So Lin changed her business to work seasonally, and this actually helped make her brand (品牌) stronger. Recently, Lin visited Japan to connect with Sekken no Machi, the nonprofit organization that started this soap-making practice in Asia over forty years ago. This visit helped strengthen the international network of people who care about sustainable (可持续的) living. 24．(2.5分)Where did Lin first learn the skills of making soap? A．At Aalto University. B．At Sekken no Machi. C．At Taichung Maple Eco-School. D．At a Michelin green star restaurant. 25．(2.5分)Why did Lin start her business instead of finding a regular job? A．She wanted to make more money. B．Regular jobs had many limitations. C．Her classmates asked her to do business. D．Handmade soaps were not popular then. 26．(2.5分)What did Lin do recently to strengthen her international network? A．She wrote a book about her career. B．She visited Sekken no Machi in Japan. C．She opened new workshops in Taiwan. D．She produced thousands of soap bars daily. 27．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text? A．From Waste Oil to Handmade Soap B．History of Soap Making in Asia C．Ways to Start a Business in Finland D．Turning Waste into Business Success 【答案】24．C 25．B 26．B 27．A 【导语】主要讲述台湾女商人林映如在芬兰利用废食用油制作手工皂创业，因地制宜经营品牌并助力可持续生活交流的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Before moving to Finland to study at Aalto University, Lin learned how to make soap at Taichung Maple Eco-School in Taiwan.(在搬到芬兰就读阿尔托大学之前，林在台湾台中枫树生态学校学习了制皂方法。)”可知，林映如最早在台湾台中枫树生态学校习得制皂技艺。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“After graduation, a difficult job market and visa troubles stood in her way. So she used her special skills to create an unusual career path. JooSoap Studio started with classroom demonstration (演示) in 2011 and was officially registered (注册) in late 2014. Lin said that starting her own business gave her the freedom that regular jobs could not offer at that difficult time.(毕业后，就业市场严峻且签证问题阻碍了她的发展。于是她利用自身特殊技能开辟了独特的职业道路。珠皂工作室2011年始于课堂手工演示项目，并于2014年末正式注册成立。林女士表示，在那段艰难的日子里，自主创业带给了她普通工作无法给予的自由。)”可知，常规工作存在诸多限制与阻碍，因此她选择自主创业。 26．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Recently, Lin visited Japan to connect with Sekken no Machi, the nonprofit organization that started this soap-making practice in Asia over forty years ago.(最近，林前往日本拜访了四十多年前在亚洲开创这种制皂工艺的非营利组织 Sekken no Machi。)”可知，她拜访了日本的Sekken no Machi。 27．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是首段中的“She uses used cooking oil to make handmade soap. Her company, JooSoap Studio, now sells soap to famous places, including a Michelin green star restaurant called Nolla.(她用用过的食用油制作手工香皂。她的公司JooSoap工作室如今向多处知名场所售卖香皂，其中包括一家名叫Nolla的米其林绿星餐厅。)”可知，文章围绕主人公利用废弃食用油制作手工皂、创业发展的核心故事展开，因此“From Waste Oil to Handmade Soap(从废油到手工皂)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 （本题10分）Read Across America (RAA) is a day held annually on March 2nd that encourages children in every community to read and also encourages parents and teachers to celebrate the joy of reading. It’s a holiday that has been celebrated since 1998 and falls on the same day as children’s book author Dr. Seuss’ birthday. This holiday dates back to May of 1997. This is when a small group of people at the National Education Association (NEA) came up with the idea to create a day of the year that celebrates reading among children. They reasoned that since many school football programs could get children engaged in the sport through pep rallies (鼓舞士气的集会), then why couldn’t the same thing be done for reading? So they decided to turn to a Read Across America program that was officially launched on March 2, 1998, and ever since it has continued to grow in size. Today, more than 50 national nonprofit and association sponsors and more than 3.3 million NEA members support the effort every year. This holiday is celebrated in many ways. All over the country, libraries, schools and community centers hold special Read Across America events that promote reading in their communities. Teachers also develop special events on this day to encourage their students to read. The NEA also sponsors reading round tables and has an online store that allows people to buy everything they need for their RAA celebrations. This includes Dr. Seuss hats, RAA bookmarks, special RAA flash drives and even RAA mugs. While recommended student reading lists vary from community to community, there are some books that always seem to pop up. Below is a partial list of some of the books read by elementary, middle school and high school students. 28．(2.5分)What inspired NEA to come up with RAA? A．Millions of NEA members’ support. B．School football programs’ practice. C．The NEA members’ love for reading. D．American local official’s encouragement. 29．(2.5分)The underlined word “sponsors” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ______. A．supporters. B．participants. C．volunteers. D．visitors. 30．(2.5分)How do people celebrate Read Across America according to the text? A．The NEA only holds reading round tables for local community members. B．Schools organize football matches to get students interested in reading. C．Teachers mainly sell various RAA products to their students at school. D．Different public places hold activities and people can buy themed goods online. 31．(2.5分)What may be talked about following the last paragraph? A．The promising future of RAA． B．The awards given to the children. C．Student reading list recommended. D．Parents and teachers’ praise for the program. 【答案】28．B 29．A 30．D 31．C 【导语】文章介绍了美国的全民阅读日Read Across America (RAA)，讲述了它的起源、创办灵感、举办方式，还提到了学生推荐阅读书单。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第二段“They reasoned that since many school football programs could get children engaged in the sport through pep rallies (鼓舞士气的集会), then why couldn’t the same thing be done for reading? (他们的理由是，既然许多学校的足球项目可以通过动员集会让孩子们参与到这项运动中来，那么为什么不能对阅读做同样的事情呢?)”可知，NEA是受到学校足球项目活动形式的启发，想出创办RAA这个活动。 29．词句猜测题。根据第二段“Today, more than 50 national nonprofit and association sponsors and more than 3.3 million NEA members support the effort every year. (如今，每年有50多个全国性非营利组织及协会sponsors ，还有330多万NEA成员为此项活动提供支持。)”可知，and连接并列对象，“support (支持)”提示sponsors是提供支持的组织，与A选项supporters (支持者)意义相近。 30．细节理解题。根据第三段“All over the country, libraries, schools and community centers hold special Read Across America events (全国各地的图书馆、学校以及社区中心都会举办特别的全美阅读日活动)”及“The NEA also sponsors reading round tables and has an online store that allows people to buy everything they need for their RAA celebrations. (NEA还主办阅读圆桌会，并且设有网上商店，人们可以在上面购买举办RAA庆祝活动所需的全部物品。)”可知，各地不同公共场所举办活动，人们还可以在线购买主题商品。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Below is a partial list of some of the books read by elementary, middle school and high school students. (以下是小学、初中和高中学生阅读的部分书籍清单。)”可知，本段引出学生推荐阅读书单，下文很可能介绍推荐给学生的阅读书目。 （本题10分）Jane Goodall’s final book, Hope for the Planet: Lessons from a Lifetime of Protecting Nature, integrates stories from her time in Gombe with practical advice for individuals, communities, and governments to address climate change and biodiversity loss — offering readers a deeply personal look at her decades of work and a clear call to action for saving the planet. In the book, Goodall reflects on her most key moments: the day she watched David Greybeard use a tool, a discovery that redefined “humanity”, the heartbreak of witnessing chimpanzee (黑猩猩) habitats destroyed by deforestation, and the joy of seeing Roots & Shoots grow into a global movement. “I’ve seen the worst of what humans can do,” she writes. “But I’ve also seen the best — the kindness of a farmer who stops cutting down trees to save chimpanzees, the passion of a 10-year-old who organises a park cleanup, the courage of scientists fighting for truth. That’s where hope lives.” Goodall also addresses common myths about conservation, arguing that “saving the planet isn’t just for ‘experts’ — it’s for everyone.” She offers simple steps: reducing meat consumption, supporting sustainable brands, planting native plants, and talking to others about climate change. “You don’t need to be a scientist or a politician to make a difference,” she writes. “You just need to care-and to act.” “Jane writes like a friend sharing wisdom,” says environmental journalist Bill McKibben in his review for The New York Times. “She doesn’t scare readers with doomsday scenarios (末日场景) — she inspires them with stories of success. This book isn’t just a memoir (回忆录); it’s a handbook for hope.” The Jane Goodall Institute has announced that all proceeds from the book will go to supporting Roots & Shoots and chimpanzee conservation in Gombe. “Jane wanted this book to be a gift to future generations,” says Bill. “It’s her way of saying.' I’m no longer here, but you have everything you need to keep fighting.'” 32．(2.5分)What is Goodall’s Hope for the Planet aimed at? A．Reflecting on her past experiences. B．Providing guidance for wild survival. C．Demonstrating her insight into Earth saving. D．Recording her observations on chimpanzees. 33．(2.5分)What does Goodall want to convey by mentioning different people? A．Individual action matters to nature. B．Humanity needs to be redefined. C．Roots & Shoots is growing globally. D．Chimpanzees live well in nature. 34．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “myths” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Behaviors. B．Legends. C．Theories. D．Misunderstandings. 35．(2.5分)What do critics think of the book? A．It is urgent and alarming. B．It is vivid and humorous. C．It is instructive and encouraging. D．It is logical and impersonal. 【答案】32．C 33．A 34．D 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了简·古道尔的新书《给地球带来希望：保护自然一生的经验教训》的内容、意义及评价。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段“Jane Goodall’s final book, Hope for the Planet: Lessons from a Lifetime of Protecting Nature, integrates stories from her time in Gombe with practical advice for individuals, communities, and governments to address climate change and biodiversity loss — offering readers a deeply personal look at her decades of work and a clear call to action for saving the planet.(简·古道尔的收官之作《给地球带来希望：毕生守护自然的启示》，将她在贡贝时期的经历与个人、社区和政府应对气候变化及生物多样性丧失的实用建议融为一体 —— 既向读者展现了她数十年工作中极具个人色彩的深刻回顾，也清晰发出了拯救地球的行动号召。)”可知，古道尔的书旨在展示她对拯救地球的见解。故选C。 33．推理判断题。根据第二段中“But I’ve also seen the best — the kindness of a farmer who stops cutting down trees to save chimpanzees, the passion of a 10-year-old who organises a park cleanup, the courage of scientists fighting for truth. That’s where hope lives.(但我也看到了最好的一面——一位农民为了拯救黑猩猩而停止砍伐树木的善良，一个10岁孩子组织公园清理活动的热情，科学家们为真理而战的勇气。希望就在那里。)”可知，古道尔提到不同的人是想传达个人的行动对自然很重要。故选A。 34．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Goodall also addresses common myths about conservation, arguing that “saving the planet isn’t just for ‘experts’ — it’s for everyone.” She offers simple steps: reducing meat consumption, supporting sustainable brands, planting native plants, and talking to others about climate change.(古道尔还谈到了关于保护自然的常见myths，认为“拯救地球不仅仅是‘专家’的事——而是每个人的事。”她提出了一些简单的步骤：减少肉类消费，支持可持续品牌，种植本地植物，与他人谈论气候变化。)”可知，古道尔认为拯救地球是每个人的事，并给出了具体的做法，由此可推知，她是在纠正人们对于保护自然的常见误解，所以myths意思是“误解”，与Misunderstandings意义相近。故选D。 35．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““Jane writes like a friend sharing wisdom,” says environmental journalist Bill McKibben in his review for The New York Times. “She doesn’t scare readers with doomsday scenarios (末日场景) — she inspires them with stories of success. This book isn’t just a memoir (回忆录); it’s a handbook for hope.”(“简写起来就像一个分享智慧的朋友，”环境记者比尔·麦基本在为《纽约时报》撰写的评论中说。“她不会用末日场景吓唬读者——而是用成功的故事激励他们。这本书不仅仅是一本回忆录；它是一本希望手册。”)”可知，评论家认为这本书有启发性和鼓励性。故选C。 （本题12.5分）Reading is one of the most important abilities for high school students.

They may easily distract your attention and interrupt your train of thought.(在当下，电子设备和线上娱乐充斥着各类诱惑，它们很容易分散你的注意力，打断你的思路。)”及下文“In this way, you can concentrate fully on the content.(这样你就能全身心专注文本内容。)”可知，上文说明电子产品会分散注意力，下文讲专注阅读的结果，空格处给出应对电子产品干扰的办法。G选项“因此阅读时你最好远离电子设备”衔接上下文，符合语境。 40．由下文“It requires continuous effort and self-discipline.(这需要持续的付出与自律。)”可知，后文讲述养成阅读习惯需要长期坚持，空格处总起该观点。D选项“一般来说，没有好习惯能在短时间内养成”引出下文内容，符合语境。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Paul Farmer was born in 1959, in North Adams, Mass.

For years, I would excuse my mess as a sign of creative genius. Yet, when I arrived at senior high, I hadn’t come up with any impressive reasons for my big mess. And my roommate, Kim, did not seem to appreciate its contribution to my bright future. From the very first day, it was clear that we were opposites. Kim was extremely organized. She labeled everything, and every item she owned had a place — and more impressively, it always stayed there. However, my table was a mess. My pencil holder was always filled with junk — paper, broken rubber and random things. There was maybe one pen, but I certainly didn’t put it there. Neither of us was innocent. Neither of us was willing to give in. She got neater, and I got messier. She would complain about my dirty clothes, and I would complain about the smell of her cleaning spray. She would push my clothes to one side; I would leave one of my books on her tidy desk. It finally exploded one evening. Kim came into the room and froze. One of my muddy shoes — how it got there, I still didn’t know — had somehow found its way beneath her bed. To me, it was just a shoe. To Kim, it was a disaster. Her face tightened. Without a word, she bent down, grabbed the shoe, and threw it toward my side. The shoe missed me and instead hit my books, sending them crashing to the floor. I immediately yelled about her rudeness. She fired back similar frustrations and soon we both ended up rushing to the door, trying to be the first to leave. I’m sure we wouldn’t have stayed another day in that room — if it hadn’t been for the phone call she received. Later that evening, after we had both returned to the room separately, I sat on my bed, angry and she sat on hers, also upset. Then the phone rang. Kim picked it up. Her voice softened, then cracked, and I could tell from her end of the conversation that her grandma had got a serious illness. Losing someone you loved was not something anyone should face alone. I knew that kind of pain. When Kim hung up, she wouldn’t look at me. She crawled under her covers without a word. I could hear her quiet sobbing. What to do? I didn’t want to just walk over to comfort her (I was still upset), but I didn’t want to leave her either. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When I looked at the mess, an idea came to me. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After that evening, we lived peacefully through nice little actions. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 When I looked at the mess, an idea came to me. Deliberately, I began to clean. I remembered how Kim always took care of everything she owned and decided to do the same. I started by tidying up my desk and sorting through the scraps of paper. I took back the book I had carelessly placed on her desk. I picked up the socks and shirts scattered around and I made my bed. I even put some pencils into my pencil holder. Then, I swept the floor, including her side. I got so absorbed into the cleaning that I didn’t even notice that Kim had come out from under the covers. She was watching my every move in surprise, her tears dried and her expression full of disbelief. When I looked up and met Kim’s eyes, she smiled at me and said in a grateful voice “Thanks.” After that evening, we lived peacefully through nice little actions. I woke up one morning to find my desk already tidied — Kim had done it silently. In return, I began taking the time to organize my things quietly, just to show her I was willing to meet her halfway. These small gestures became our new way of communicating. There was a silent understanding between us. The room still wasn’t perfect, and we still had our minor disagreements, but we had learned to live with each other’s differences. She taught me discipline; I taught her patience. She laughed at my “chaotic genius,” and I teased her about her “robot-like” habits. We came to realize that living together wasn’t about who was neat or messy, right or wrong. It was about understanding, helping, and holding on to each other, even when things got messy. And sometimes, that’s enough. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文讲述了不爱整洁的作者与十分爱干净的室友Kim多次发生矛盾，最终因一只脏鞋爆发激烈争吵。后来Kim得知奶奶病重，伤心地哭泣。曾有过相似痛苦经历的作者虽仍在生气，却十分关心她，两人紧张的关系迎来转机。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看着眼前的混乱，我忽然有了个主意。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者看到杂乱后主动打扫房间，效仿室友整理自己的物品，甚至清扫了室友那边，这让室友Kim十分惊讶并向她道谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天晚上之后，我们用温馨的小举动和平相处。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：那晚之后，两人用小举动互相包容，学会接纳差异，懂得了相处在于理解与扶持。 2.续写线索：作者主动打扫房间——清扫了Kim那边卫生——Kim十分惊讶并向作者道谢——两人学会互相包容和接纳差异——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打扫：clean/sweep ②拥有：own/possess ③决定做：decide to do /be determined to do 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] She was watching my every move in surprise, her tears dried and her expression full of disbelief. （运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] We came to realize that living together wasn’t about who was neat or messy, right or wrong. （运用了that和who引导的宾语从句） 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。What kind of literature do you like best?

Welcome to introduction to modern american literature. For those thinking, we are going to be discussing the Harry potter novels. I have so bad news for you. When we say modern, we're referring to a specific period of american literature. There are some arguments over the dates of this period, but the general understanding is that it's from nineteen hundred ten to nine and forty five. This period was marked by a big break from the past, and modernist fiction was characterized by themes of disappointment and loss. IT is an important period not just in literature, but in history too. So you have to consider what was happening in the world when reading the books, and there is a lot of reading. Those who have taken my previous classes in old english literature and the romantic period will know, I expect you to complete the main reading list, plus a good amount of the suggested reading list, too. Now, IT may not surprise you that because of that period, many of the authors were White males, such as T. S. Elliott and earnest hemingway. But we'll also look at african american writers whose works are equally important, like novellas, sora, neil hurst and poet length and hues. right? Let's begin in one nine, nine, ten.

Her company, JooSoap Studio, now sells soap to famous places, including a Michelin green star restaurant called Nolla. Before moving to Finland to study at Aalto University, Lin learned how to make soap at Taichung Maple Eco-School in Taiwan. This school has taught environmental education since 1996. Twenty years ago, this kind of soap was not very common in Europe. One day, Lin casually mentioned this technique during a university discussion. The enthusiastic response from her classmates encouraged her to turn the idea into a business. After graduation, a difficult job market and visa troubles stood in her way. So she used her special skills to create an unusual career path. JooSoap Studio started with classroom demonstration (演示) in 2011 and was officially registered (注册) in late 2014. Lin said that starting her own business gave her the freedom that regular jobs could not offer at that difficult time. Adapting to Finnish culture has been key to her success. In Taiwan, big workshops can make thousands of soap bars a day. But Finnish people prefer a slower, more careful way of living — they like to make only what they need. So Lin changed her business to work seasonally, and this actually helped make her brand (品牌) stronger. Recently, Lin visited Japan to connect with Sekken no Machi, the nonprofit organization that started this soap-making practice in Asia over forty years ago. This visit helped strengthen the international network of people who care about sustainable (可持续的) living. 24．(2.5分)Where did Lin first learn the skills of making soap? A．At Aalto University. B．At Sekken no Machi. C．At Taichung Maple Eco-School. D．At a Michelin green star restaurant. 25．(2.5分)Why did Lin start her business instead of finding a regular job? A．She wanted to make more money.

A．She wrote a book about her career. B．She visited Sekken no Machi in Japan. C．She opened new workshops in Taiwan. D．She produced thousands of soap bars daily. 27．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text?

It’s a holiday that has been celebrated since 1998 and falls on the same day as children’s book author Dr. Seuss’ birthday. This holiday dates back to May of 1997. This is when a small group of people at the National Education Association (NEA) came up with the idea to create a day of the year that celebrates reading among children. They reasoned that since many school football programs could get children engaged in the sport through pep rallies (鼓舞士气的集会), then why couldn’t the same thing be done for reading? So they decided to turn to a Read Across America program that was officially launched on March 2, 1998, and ever since it has continued to grow in size. Today, more than 50 national nonprofit and association sponsors and more than 3.3 million NEA members support the effort every year. This holiday is celebrated in many ways. All over the country, libraries, schools and community centers hold special Read Across America events that promote reading in their communities. Teachers also develop special events on this day to encourage their students to read. The NEA also sponsors reading round tables and has an online store that allows people to buy everything they need for their RAA celebrations. This includes Dr. Seuss hats, RAA bookmarks, special RAA flash drives and even RAA mugs. While recommended student reading lists vary from community to community, there are some books that always seem to pop up. Below is a partial list of some of the books read by elementary, middle school and high school students. 28．(2.5分)What inspired NEA to come up with RAA? A．Millions of NEA members’ support. B．School football programs’ practice. C．The NEA members’ love for reading. D．American local official’s encouragement. 29．(2.5分)The underlined word “sponsors” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ______. A．supporters. B．participants. C．volunteers.

B．Schools organize football matches to get students interested in reading. C．Teachers mainly sell various RAA products to their students at school.

In the book, Goodall reflects on her most key moments: the day she watched David Greybeard use a tool, a discovery that redefined “humanity”, the heartbreak of witnessing chimpanzee (黑猩猩) habitats destroyed by deforestation, and the joy of seeing Roots & Shoots grow into a global movement. “I’ve seen the worst of what humans can do,” she writes. “But I’ve also seen the best — the kindness of a farmer who stops cutting down trees to save chimpanzees, the passion of a 10-year-old who organises a park cleanup, the courage of scientists fighting for truth. That’s where hope lives.” Goodall also addresses common myths about conservation, arguing that “saving the planet isn’t just for ‘experts’ — it’s for everyone.” She offers simple steps: reducing meat consumption, supporting sustainable brands, planting native plants, and talking to others about climate change. “You don’t need to be a scientist or a politician to make a difference,” she writes. “You just need to care-and to act.” “Jane writes like a friend sharing wisdom,” says environmental journalist Bill McKibben in his review for The New York Times. “She doesn’t scare readers with doomsday scenarios (末日场景) — she inspires them with stories of success. This book isn’t just a memoir (回忆录); it’s a handbook for hope.” The Jane Goodall Institute has announced that all proceeds from the book will go to supporting Roots & Shoots and chimpanzee conservation in Gombe. “Jane wanted this book to be a gift to future generations,” says Bill. “It’s her way of saying.' I’m no longer here, but you have everything you need to keep fighting.'” 32．(2.5分)What is Goodall’s Hope for the Planet aimed at? A．Reflecting on her past experiences. B．Providing guidance for wild survival. C．Demonstrating her insight into Earth saving. D．Recording her observations on chimpanzees. 33．(2.5分)What does Goodall want to convey by mentioning different people? A．Individual action matters to nature. B．Humanity needs to be redefined. C．Roots & Shoots is growing globally. D．Chimpanzees live well in nature. 34．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “myths” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Behaviors. B．Legends. C．Theories. D．Misunderstandings. 35．(2.5分)What do critics think of the book? A．It is urgent and alarming. B．It is vivid and humorous. C．It is instructive and encouraging. D．It is logical and impersonal. （本题12.5分）Reading is one of the most important abilities for high school students.

For years, I would excuse my mess as a sign of creative genius. Yet, when I arrived at senior high, I hadn’t come up with any impressive reasons for my big mess. And my roommate, Kim, did not seem to appreciate its contribution to my bright future. From the very first day, it was clear that we were opposites. Kim was extremely organized. She labeled everything, and every item she owned had a place — and more impressively, it always stayed there. However, my table was a mess. My pencil holder was always filled with junk — paper, broken rubber and random things. There was maybe one pen, but I certainly didn’t put it there. Neither of us was innocent. Neither of us was willing to give in. She got neater, and I got messier. She would complain about my dirty clothes, and I would complain about the smell of her cleaning spray. She would push my clothes to one side; I would leave one of my books on her tidy desk. It finally exploded one evening. Kim came into the room and froze. One of my muddy shoes — how it got there, I still didn’t know — had somehow found its way beneath her bed. To me, it was just a shoe. To Kim, it was a disaster. Her face tightened. Without a word, she bent down, grabbed the shoe, and threw it toward my side. The shoe missed me and instead hit my books, sending them crashing to the floor. I immediately yelled about her rudeness. She fired back similar frustrations and soon we both ended up rushing to the door, trying to be the first to leave. I’m sure we wouldn’t have stayed another day in that room — if it hadn’t been for the phone call she received. Later that evening, after we had both returned to the room separately, I sat on my bed, angry and she sat on hers, also upset. Then the phone rang. Kim picked it up. Her voice softened, then cracked, and I could tell from her end of the conversation that her grandma had got a serious illness. Losing someone you loved was not something anyone should face alone. I knew that kind of pain. When Kim hung up, she wouldn’t look at me. She crawled under her covers without a word. I could hear her quiet sobbing. What to do? I didn’t want to just walk over to comfort her (I was still upset), but I didn’t want to leave her either. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When I looked at the mess, an idea came to me. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After that evening, we lived peacefully through nice little actions. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
