B From the minute I met him I didn’t l ike Edward Dahlberg, or, maybe, I was nervous about meeting a man of letters, my introduction to the social world of American literature. The evening Alberta and I came over, he sat in a deep armchair facing a semicircle of admirers. They asked his opinion about various writers. He waved his hand and, except for himself, dismissed everyone in the twentieth century: Hemingway wrote “baby talk,” Faulkner “sludge.” Joyce’s Ulysses was “a tiring walk through the waste of Dublin.” R’lene introduced me. This is F rank McCourt from Ireland. He teaches high school English. I put out my hand but he let it hang. “Oh, still a high school boy, are you?” I didn’t know what to say. He laughed and said to R’lene, “Does our friend teach English to deaf mutes (聋哑人)?” In the D ahlberg world, teaching was for women only. I backed away to my chair, confused. He wasn’t finished. He turned to me. “Does our high school boy read? And what does he read? ” I searched my head for something I’d read recently, something distinguished (出众的) that might please him. “I’m reading the autobiography of Sean O’Casey.” “ Quote me a line.” My heart jumped and pounded. My mouth was dry. I could think of nothing from

O’Casey that would match the grand passages Dahlberg quoted from the ancient masters. I mumbled (含糊地说), “Well, I admire O’Casey for the natural way he writes about his life growing up in Dublin.” He nodded toward me. If you admire so-called natural writing you can always look at the walls of a public toilet. The admirers laughed. My face was hot and I said without thinking, “O’Casey fought his way out of the slums (贫民窟) of Dublin. He was half blind. He’s a ... a ... champion of the worker ... He’s as good as you anytime. The

whole world knows Sean O’Casey. Who ever heard of you?” He shook his head for the benefit of his admirers and they shook their heads in agreement. He called to R’lene, “Tell your high school boy to leave my presence. He’s not welcome here though his charming wife is welcome to stay.” 24. What was Edward’s attitude towards the mentioned writers? A. He looked down on them. B. He considered them out of date. C. He showed deep admiration for them. D. He owed his literary achievement to them.

25. What was Edward’s reaction to being introduced to the author? A. He simply ignored the author. B. He greeted the author politely. C. He gave the author a cold welcome. D. He questioned the author’s sincerity. 26. How did the author feel at the suggestion of quoting a line? A. Confused. B. Uneasy.

C. Impatient.

D. Dissatisfied.

27. How d id the author face others’ laughter? A. He fell completely silent. B. He laughed back at them. C. He escaped from the room. D. He voiced his inner anger.

C This year, the Paris museum that looks like a jumble (杂乱的一堆) of giant, colored pipes turns 40. The m useum ― the Pompidou Center ― has a secure place in the heart of Paris and in Parisians’ hearts. But it wasn’t always the case. “When it was first built, the reaction was one of disbelief,” said Serge Lasvignes, president of the Pompidou Center. “Le Monde newspaper wrote the museum’s construction brought shame on Paris, and city politicians thought their money had been totally wasted,” said Lasvignes. Critics said it looked like an oil refinery (炼油厂). France’s first museum entirely devoted to contemporary art saw the light of day thanks to the determination of one man ― Georges Pompidou, an art lover who served as France’s president from 1969 to 1974. In 1971, he started an international competition to build the museum,

originally known as the Centre Beaubourg. The winning team, which included three young architects from Britain and Italy, was completely unknown at the time. Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, the two architects who saw the project through, made the plan a reality. “They didn’t think they had a c hance to win. So they thought they might as well do exactly what they wanted,” Lasvignes said. “The design took everyone by surprise and it was completely different from any other museum. Someone said to Piano, ‘Your thing is terrible ― with the escalator (自动扶梯) on the outside, it looks like a supermarket!’’ Lasvignes added. Forty years later, the museum still tries to make culture available to everyone, Lasvignes said. He calls the Pompidou Center a museum like no other. “We are not only a museum,” he said. “We have concerts, debates, performances, a library ... and everything flows together.” Pompidou felt putting up walls between different forms of art was harmful. “So we are a house of culture where people return again and again,” Lasvignes said. The Pom pidou Center is Europe’s biggest modern art museum; New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is the biggest in the world. “But the two museums have totally different strategies (策略),” Lasvignes said. “The MoMA’s strategy is to collect masterpieces, and we try to represent an entire epoch (时代).”

28. What was people’s attitude to the Pompidou Center at first?

A. They disliked it.

B. They respected it.

C. They were curious about it.

D. They paid little attention to it. 29. Who completed the construction of the Paris museum? A. President of the Centre Beaubourg. B. Three unknown French architects. C. Georges Pompidou. D. Piano and Rogers. 30. What was the Pompidou Center like in Lasvignes’ eyes? A. Very solid. B. Quite traditional.

C. Entirely original.

D. Extremely simple. 31. Which is a

notable feature of the Pompidou Center? A. It collects great masterpieces. B. It holds various cultural events. C. It is the world’s biggest art museum. D. It is particularly attractive to foreigners. D Anyone who passes regularly through busy public spaces knows that one victim of our obsession (痴迷) with digital devices such as smartphones has been small talk. With our eyes focused on our smartphones, fewer of us make conversation with strangers. But are we missing something in this loss of relaxing small talk? A growing body of research suggests that small talk has surprising benefits. In a study published in 2014 in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that daily interactions with casual acquaintances (熟人) can contribute to day-to-day well-being. Participants (参与者) were asked to record their daily interactions with people connected to them by “strong ties” (family and friends) and “weak ties” (acquaintances). On days when participants had more “weak tie” interactions than usual, they reported a greater sense of belonging and happiness. In a study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in 2014, another group of researchers looked at interactions among strangers. They invited 118 commuters (通勤者) at a Chicago-area railway station and gave them one of three roles: to start a conversation on the train, to avoid any conversation and enjoy the solitude (loneliness) or to do whatever they normally do on their commute. In surveys completed afterward, those who were instructed to make conversation with strangers reported “notably more positive” commutes than those who rode in solitude. “Talking with a stranger may not offer the same benefits as talking with a close friend, but we underestimate (低估) its importance to us,” says the study’s co-author, Nicholas Epley, a professor of

behavioral science at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Dr. Epley traded in his own smartphone for an old featureless phone, which has made him, he says, more open to “wonderful, short conversations with strangers”. People overestimate the social risks involved in small talk, adds Dr. Epley, “Most people not only want to talk to you; they’ll tell you secret things they may not even tell a family member”. 32. The first study got the findings from the participants by comparing their _____. A. strong and weak tie interactions B. casual and close acquaintances C. private and public interactions D. family members and friends 33. What did the study done on the train find out? A. People are likely to ride in solitude on the train. B. Few commuters like to chat with strangers. C. There are three kinds of train commuters. D. Chats with strangers bring joy to people. 34. Which of the following would Dr. Epley probably agree with? A. It is nicer to talk with strangers than friends. B. Smartphones may kill small talk with strangers. C. People fail to realize the importance of friendship. D. Most strangers prefer to spend time on their phones. 35. What does the text mainly discuss? A. The interactions with strangers. B. The loss of relaxing small talk.

C. The influence of smartphones.

D. The important role of small talk. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（注意：E涂AB, F涂AC, G涂AD ） Four simple steps to be truly thankful Thanksgiving is more than pie and turkey.
