AWinnie-the-PoohBy neWinnie-the-Pooh has been introduced and reintroduced to generation after generation as a model of a child’s best friend. However, not everyone has found Pooh is lovely. This classic has been bannedin a variety of countries at one point.So why would anyone ever like to keep children from, the joy of Milne’s classic? In the case of Russia, Minnie-the-Pooh was banned in 2009 because of allege(所谓的)Nazi（纳粹党的）ties.The Wonderful wizard of OzBy L. Frank BaumOriginally published in the year 1900, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is one of the foundations of the fairytale genre. Who, then, would seek to ban a book that has become so important to the American experience?America is that who.The Detroit Library banned The wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1957 for allegedly having no value for children. Charlotte’s WebBy E.B. WhiteWhite’s tale of the relationship between two unexpected creatures, a spider and a pig, has been drawing children in for over half a century. Published in 1952, the classic has been readily displayed on most library shelves for children to read. However, some people would like to make this book never see thelight of the day.In one extreme case, a school in England banned Charlotte’s Web for fear that the pig Wilbur might be offensive(冒犯的) to Muslim students. Fortunately, the Muslin Council of Britain saw the foolishness of this ban, so the book was quickly put back to their rightful place on the shelves.Where the Wild Things AreBy Maurice SendakThough it’s been published for fifty years, this book hasn’t always been really found in libraries and in stores. After its release, Where the Wild Things Are was banned in libraries all across the U. S. for its dark tone and unruly lead character. Some parents felt obviously uncomfortable about Max, the story’s main character. Nowadays, you’ll find far fewer libraries that still hold this ban.1.The books which were once banned in the same country are .A.Charlotte’s Web and The Wonderful Wizard of OzB.Where the Wild Things Are and Winnie-the-PoohC.Where the Wild Things Are and The Wonderful Wizard of OzD.Winnie-the-Pooh and Charlotte’s Web2.Wilbur is the character of the book .A. Charlotte’s Web.B. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.C. Winnie-the-Pooh.D. Where the Wild Things Are.3.Who are the intended readers of the four books mentioned in the passage?A. Parents.B. Children.C. Teachers.D. Critics.BFrom my earlier memory of Mother it somehow seemed quite natural to think of her as different, nor of everyday things as Father was. In those days he was a young-looking man. He did not hesitate to make friends with children as soon as they were able to talk to him and laugh at his stories. Mother was older than he was. She must have been a woman of nearly forty, but she seemed even older. She changed little for a long time, showing no indication of growing old at all until, towards the end of her life, she suddenly became an old lady.I was always inquisitive about Mother’s age. She never had birthdays like other people, nor did anyone else in our family. No candles were ever lit or cakes made or presents given in our house. To my friends in the street who talked delightfully about their birthday parties, I would repeat my mother’s words that such celebrations were only foolish.‚Nothing but deception,‛ she would say. ‚As though life can be marked by birthdays. It’s deeds, not years, that matter.‛Although I often repeated her words and even prided myself on not having birthdays, I once could not help asking Mother when she was born.‚I was born. I’m alive as you can see, so what more do you want to know？‛ she replied, so sharply that I never asked her about her age again.In so many other ways Mother was different. Whereas all the rest of the women I knew in the neighboring hoses took pride in their housewifely abilities, their new furniture, the neat appearance of their homes, Mother regarded all those things as of little importance. Our house always looked as if we had just moved in or were about to move out.4.How did Father impress the author？A. He liked writing stories.B. He loved making friends.C. He was a very young man.D. He was popular with children.5.Before the end of her life, Mother .A. looked quite youngB. looked like an old ladyC. looked younger than she wasD. looked like a forty-year-old woman6.What does the word ‚inquisitive‛ in Paragraph2 probably mean？A. CertainB. Curious.C. Cautious.D. Confident.7.What do we learn about Mother？A. She was lazy.B. She was strict.C. She was proud.D. She was specialCIt is only praise or punishment that determines a child’s level of confidence. There are some other important ways we shape our kids-particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example, we can say to a child ‚Don’t run into traffic!‛ pr ‚Stay on the footpath close to me.‛ In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and aren’t scaring themselves about what not to do.Why does such a small thing make a difference？It is all in the way the human mind works. What we think, we automatically rehearse (预演). For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldn’t be able to do it. When a child is told ‚Don’t fall off the tree,‛ he will think of two things: ‚don’t‛ and ‚fall off the tree‛. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind. A child who is vividlyimagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off. So it is far better to use ‚Hold on to the tree carefully.‛Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things. Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words. So parents should make their commands positive. ‚Sam, hold on firm to the side of the boat‛ is much more useful than ‚Don’t you dare to fall out of the boat‛ or worse still ‚How do you think I’ll feel if you drown‛ The changes are small but the difference is obvious.Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.8.Positive choice of words helps kids to .A. do things carefullyB. build up their confidenceC. improve their imaginationD. learn in different situations9.What can we infer from Paragraph 2？A. A child will act on what is instructedB. One can’t help imagining what is heard.C. A child will fall off the tree when told not to.D. One won’t think of a blue monkey when given money.10.Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe？A. Fasten your seat belt.B. Don’t play by the lake.C. How do you think I’ll feel if you get hurtD. Don’t you dare to walk through the red light11.The main idea of the passage is that .A. praise makes kids confidentB. right instructions keep kids safeC. clear commands make kids differentD. choice of words can make a differenceDIn today’s consumer world, we’ve never had so much, yet it seems we’ve never been so unsatisfied. The cost of housing has been rising for decades, and the cost to the planet has been huge, too. But there is a way to live a simpler, greener, and more affordable life: buy a TinyDwelling home!TinyDwelling homes are very small, yet comfortable houses at affordable prices. Each TinyDwelling home has a contemporary design and included a living room, kitchen, bathroom, upstairs sleeping area, and convenient storage space. TinyDwelling homes are cheap to run and ecologically-friendly, too. All you need is a small heater to keep your house warm in cold weather, and solar panels (太阳能电池板) in order to provide light and electricity.TinyDwelling is part of the small-living movement that began in the late 1990s. Back then, a growing number of people began to live in very small homes. They wanted to reduce their possessions, living space, and energy costs, so as to lead more ecologically-friendly lives. But the small-living movement really took off after the economic crisis of 2008, when many people realized that they couldn’t afford to keep large homes. Lizzy Morriaon, a small-living enthusiast, started TinyDwelling homes in 2008 to meet the needs of these people. Since then, Lizzy has been designing and building homes nonstop, and TinyDwelling homes have become so popular that thousands of people have bought one. And Lizzy hasn’t only designing and building houses. She has also been teaching people how to build them. Simply buy the plans and materials so that you can build your own home, and save even more money!12.It is implied in Paragraph 1 that .A. rich people are very unsatisfiedB. people are damaging the environmentC. there are more poor people than beforeD. people spend much money in saving the planet13.What do we know about the small-living movement？A. It aimed to handle the economic crisis.B. It was started by people without houses.C. It was well received by house designers.D. It did not become quite popular until 2008.14.What is the main attraction of TinyDwelling homes？A. They are affordable.B. They provide storage space.C. They have upstairs sleeping area.D. They are equipped with solar panels.15.Besides designing TinyDwelling homes, Lizzy also .A. urged people to buy them.B. helped people to build them.C. taught people to save money.D. offered courses to train designers.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。

However, he died a poor man after a life that was once described as “a series of suicide attempts”. So, what went wrong?As a young boy, Jack went to Westminster School, but after only one year he was expelled for fighting with a teacher. He was then sent to Harrow School but only lasted three days before he was also thrown out. He was eventually educated by private tutors.After school, Jack went to Cambridge University. He arrived with 2,000 bottles of port, but left without graduating — he found university life boring. Later, he joined the army, enlisting with the 7th Hussars. As a young officer, he spent a year with the regiment in France as part of the occupation force after Napoleon’s defeat in 1815. Jack passed the time gambling and drinking before resigning his commission. At the age of 21, he returned to his country house just in time to receive his inheritance.With an annual income of over ￡800,000 in today’s money, Jack was extremely rich… but it didn’t take him long to spend it all. In 1819, he became an MP. In order to secure his seat, he offered voters ￡10 notes to vote for him, spending more than ￡10,000 in total. However, he found politics dull and went to parliament only once. Back at home, he would often drop bank notes in the gardens of his estate, and gave his servants vast amounts of spending money. Once he lost his racetrack winnings (several thousand pounds) when the wind blew all the money away.One of Jack’s favorite pastimes was hunting. He would go in any kind of weather, occasionally with no clothes on. Sometimes, he would get up in the middle of the night, take off with a gun to look for something to shoot.Jack also kept a large number of pets. These included about 2,000 dogs. Some were fed on steak and Champagne and even wore livery. A favorite horse had free range inside Halston Hall and would often lie with Jack in front of the fire.Jack was a bit of a practical joker, too. He once left a horse in the bedroom of a guest. Another visitor fell asleep and woke up to find a live bear and two bulldogs in his bed. In 1826, as a result of a bet, Jack rode his horse into the Bedford Hotel, up the grand staircase and onto the balcony. Then, still sitting on the horse, he jumped off the balcony, landing among the diners in the restaurant below.Another time, he invited a local doctor to dine at Halston Hall. As soon as the doctor had left, Jack put on a highwayman’s costume and raced ahead to rob the unsuspecting man. On another occasion, a passenger in Jack’s carriage admitted that he’d never been in an accident, so Jack drove the carriage up a hill and turned it over. He would also slip red-hot coals into people’s pockets as ajoke.Eventually, Jack ran out of money and fell into debt. In 1830, he fled to France to avoid his creditors (债主), but returned a couple of years later, ending up in prison in Southwark, London. Jack died there in 1834, a poor, lonely man.55. By writing “a series of suicide attempts” in the first paragraph, the author probably meansthat ________.A. Jack lost his life in fighting with poverty.B. Jack pretended to suicide to avoid his creditors.C. Jack attempted to kill himself because he was too poor.D. All that Jack had did in his life contributed to his own failure and poverty.56. It can be inferred in the passage that ________.A. Jack bribed the voters in order to gain a position of MP in a safe way.B. Jack joined the army and succeeded in defeating Napoleon’s army in 1815.C. Jack fed his favorite horse with meat and wine and often lay with it in front of the fire.D. Jack was first educated by private tutors and eventually graduated from CambridgeUniversity.57. The examples in paragraph 7 tell us that _____________.A. Jack always played tricks on people to have fun.B. Jack always punished people by all means to let out his hatred.C.
