A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist.At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the officer says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place—under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. "I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred—that's five minutes —and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "…two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors."There is your proof!" the host says. "A man has just shown us real control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess, "How did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she replies. "Because it was lying across my foot."（1）What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?A.Whether women are afraid of mice.B.Whether men are calmer than women.C.Whether men are cleverer than women.D.Whether women would make suitable soldiers.（2）Why is the servant asked to put out some milk?A.To play a trick.B.To serve the guests.C.To attract the snake.D.To feed the hostess's pet.（3）Why does the scientist suggest the guests play a game?A.He doesn't want anyone to panic.B.He intends to test the officer's theory.C.He sees there was a snake in the room.D.He wants to entertain the other guests.（4）What does the author imply through the hostess's final statement?A.The army officer's opinion is wrong.B.The hostess understood the American's intention.C.The American was surprised by the snake's presence.D.The hostess has had previous experience dealing with snakes.6.Have you ever heard of a pawpaw（木瓜）? If not, do not feel bad. Most Americans do not know of the fruit, though it is native to the United States.Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods. A pawpaw is a tropical-like fruit that grows on trees found all over the eastern United States. It's also the largest fruit native to the US.It is similar to a typical mango in size. It has a dull green-colored skin, and a soft, almost-creamy orange inside. The pawpaw was not sold commercially in the past. The fruit requires a very special environment-low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it came from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers haveorganized "pawpaw festivals" to reintroduce people to the food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws. There were pawpaw jams, pies, gelato（冰淇淋）and beer. Michael Judd helped organize the Maryland pawpaw festival.Farmers are trying to grow kinds of pawpaws that will be easier to ship and sell commercially. Donna and Jim Davis are pawpaw farmers in Westminster, Maryland. They said that they purchased their pawpaw trees in the 1990s and now sell the fruit at farmer's markets and online.（1）What can we know about the pawpaw according to the text?A.Its harvest season lasts long.B.It grows in Europe originally.C.It has already returned to its former position.D.It used to be well-received in North America.（2）What limited the pawpaw to being sold commercially in the past?A.It was unknown to the world.B.It's hard to grow, store and transport.C.It has similar taste with typical mangoes.D.The planters were unwilling to grow them for low profits.（3）Why do farmers hold "pawpaw festivals"?A.To show lots of delicious food to people.B.To make the pawpaw known to people again.C.To introduce people to a completely new fruit.D.To tell people the forgotten history about the fruit.（5）What is the best title for the text?A.The History of Pawpaws.B.How to Grow Pawpaws.C.The Comeback of Pawpaws.D.The Origin of Pawpaw Festival.四、七选五（本题共计 1 小题，共计5分）7. （5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。

The details were vivid. The setting: a rare-plant shop in New York City. The criminal: a man with yellow eyes from a scary, faraway island. Story Pirates gave Phoebe's idea to a best-selling author, who turned it into anovel. Digging Up Danger, by Jacqueline West, hit bookshelves on January 15.The Story Pirates are on the lookout for hidden treasure. But they don't sail the seas hunting for gold, jewels, or sunken ships. They seek out stories and ideas from kids. "We are silly and funny adults who believe kids' stories are the best stories in the world," Story Pirates producer and director Austin Sanders told TIME for Kids. "Our task is to blow kids' minds with their stories so they can see how amazing their ideas are."Lee Overtree and Benjamin Salka founded Story Pirates in 2004. The group started out with creative-writing workshops in classrooms. They performed students' stories as live musical comedies at the kids' schools. Many of the Story Pirates actors have a background in improvisational（即兴创作的）theater. That's a form of theater in which the plot, characters, and dialogue are made up on the spot. "Improvisation is a huge tool that we have in our toolbox," Overtree told TFK.Today, the Story Pirates do much more than live performances. There are novels, like the one Phoebe inspired. There is also the popular Story Pirates podcast, by Gimlet Media. It tells stories with original songs and lots of funny voices. It also features interviews with kid authors and special guest appearances.（1）What can we infer about Phoebe?A.She managed a rare-plant shop.B.Her idea inspired a novel.C.Her dream was to be a detective.D.She was stuck in a scary island.（2）What are Story Pirates most interested in?A.Children's thoughts.B.Sunken ships.C.Children's novels.D.Hidden jewels.（3）How did the Story Pirates start their programs?A.By telling original stories.B.By inviting special guests.C.By interviewing kid authors.D.By presenting live performances.（4）What's the best title of the text?A.Digging Up Danger—a best sellerB.Phoebe Wolinetz—a creative girlC.Story Pirates—a workshop for kids' ideasD.Austin Sanders—a producer and director（3）How did the author develop the main body of the text?A.By showing some data.B.By giving some examples.C.By analyzing some reasons.D.By concluding some results.（4）What does the underlined word "odds" in the last paragraph mean?A.Price.B.Probability.C.Cost.D.Income.5.In times of economic crisis（危机）, Americans turn to their families for support. If the Great Depression（经济大萧条）is any guide, we may see a drop in our sky-high divorce rate. But this won't necessarily represent an increase in happy marriages, nor is the trend likely to last. In the long run. the Depression weakened American families. and the current crisis will probably do the same.We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses. The divorce rate, which had been rising slowly since the Civil War, suddenly dropped in 1930, the year after the Depression began. By 1932, when nearly one quarter of the workforce was unemployed, it had dropped by around 25% from 1929. But this does not mean that people were suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs, unhappy couples often couldn't afford to divorce.Today, considering the job losses of the past year. fewer unhappy couples will risk starting separate households. What's more, the housing market will make it more difficult for them to finance their separations by selling their homes.After financial disasters, family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each other and their communities. In a 1940 book, Mirra Komarovsky described a family in which the husband initially reacted to losing bis job" with tireless search for work. "He was always active, looking for part-time jobs or washing windows for neighbors. Another unemployed man initially enjoyed spending more time with his young children.The problem is that such enthusiasm is hard to keep up. The men Komarovsky studied eventually grew discouraged and their relationships with their wives and teenage children worsened. Across the country, many similar families finally failed to keep their families together. Then the divorce rate began to rise again.Millions of American families may now be in the early stage of their responses to the current crisis. During the Depression this stage seemed to last a year at most. Today, it might last longer.

Below, she recommends other novels shaped by place.The MeadowJames Galvin (1992).Galvin narrows his novel’s focus to a river in south-eastern Wyoming, the site of three generations’ struggle and achievements. “I often find myself reading each sentence twice, just to enjoy the unexpected twists of Galvin’s prose (散文). ”What Is Not Yours Is Not Y oursHelen Oyeyemi (2016).Everything about this story collection delights and puzzles the soul, in a way of experiencing the terrifying fairy tale for the first time. Each story feels like working around you in a kind of harmony you can’t even begin to comprehend until the final line.Orange WorldKaren Russell (2019).“Every new book of Russell’s instantly takes its previous book’s place as my favorite.” Place, in each of these time-jumping, world-warping stories — which unfold a map of place both real and imagined — provides physical, social, and emotional pressures on both character and reader.The Bluest EyeToni Morrison (1970).“Morrison’s novel remains my favorite, possibly owing to the particular feelings produced by its place and personhood, and its suggestion that how you experience the world is governed by age, race, and whether or not one grows up loved.”36．What do the four novels have in common?A．They have similar plots.B．They are shaped by place.C．They have the same background.D．They are written by Téa Obreht.37．Which of the statements is true about What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours?A．It fills the reader’s heart with terror.B．It’s a story collection without harmony in each story.C．It’s a prose authored by Helen Oyeyemi.D．The harmony in it can not be understood until the end.38．How does Téa Obreht evaluate Karen Russell and her Orange World ?A．It takes on a dynamic and mysterious atmosphere.B．The reader feels their pressures taken off when they read it.C．Téa always likes Karen’s new book better than her previous one.D．It presents social conflicts in different times and worlds.39．What do you know about The Bluest Eye from the last paragraph?A．Its place and personhood impress Téa Obreht a lot.B．It advocates ecological balance in nature.C．It suggests a connection between love and success.D．Age and gender impact how you experience the world.I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer since I graduated from high school. But making the transition between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class beforenever seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear.When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale now ring true.These lessons I’m learning, however precious, are always tinged (带有) with a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. “This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading,” she added.My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.40．How did the author look back on his summer days while at college?A．They brought him nothing but torture.B．They were no holiday for him at all.C．They were a relief from his hard work at school.D．They offered him a chance to know more people.41．Which of the following is closest to the underlined word “torture” in the first paragraph?A．Misery.B．Fortune.C．Anxiety.D．Availability. 42．What does the author say about college students?A．They expect too much from the real world.B．They have little interest in blue-collar life.C．They think too highly of themselves.D．They are confident about their future.43．What, according to the author, is most frustrating for blue-collar workers?A．They do not get decent pay.B．They do not have job security.C．They have to work 12-hour shifts.D．They have to move from place to place.44．Why does the author feel somewhat guilty?A．He realizes there is a great divide between his life and that of blue-collar workers.B．He looks down upon the mechanical work at the assembly line.C．He has not done much to help his co-workers at the factory.D．He has stayed at school just for the purpose of escaping from the real world.45．In what important way has the author’s work experience changed him?A．He learned to be more practical.B．He acquired a sense of urgency.C．He came to respect blue-collar workers.D．He came to appreciate his college education.Dreams, according to Carl Jung, reveal a certain amount of reality hidden during waking consciousness. In Jungian philosophy, the conflict and chaos experienced in dreams finally bring order to our lives. While Jung’s mystical theories are debatable, he was not mistaken about the importance of dreaming. A growing number of reports show that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways.This trend is causing damage to our immune and metabolic systems, let alone the electronic products that keep us up late at night are ruining our sleep patterns, which has long-term consequences on our memory system. One study showed that not allowing mice to have adequate amounts of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the stage in which we dream, the mice couldn’t strengthen memories.You might think this is just a sleep problem, but dreaming is inseparable from our nighttime rest. We sleep in cycles, each lasting about 90 minutes; in a sleep cycle, we go through non-REM sleep before hitting REM. As the night progresses, REM sleep periods increase in length while deep sleep (one of the stages of non-REM sleep) decreases. The longer we sleep, the more time we spend in REM, which is why we are often dreaming when waking up in the morning. If we sleep less than seven hours, however, it becomes harder to achieve this level of REM.The combination of sleeping and dreaming acts as an emotional stabilizer. We recover from emotional hurt faster when we sleep and dream properly. However, we’re not getting enough sleep to cycle through the stages to take advantage of this natural circadian anti-depressant (抗抑郁剂) — dreams. Instead, we get depressed and turn to alcohol or medicines to get to sleep, which only makes things worse because even one drink leads to late REM while anti-depressants promote deep sleep at the expense of REM.We’re paying for this lack of dreaming in many ways. For example, a 2021 study stated that compared with quiet rest and non-REM sleep, REM promoted the formation of associative networks and the integration of unassociated information. V olunteers thatexperienced more REM sleep were better equipped for solving problems requiring innovative solutions.Rowan Hooper, the managing editor at New Scientist, writes that dreams that include an “emotional core” appear to be a main function of REM sleep and that we should look at sleep patterns as seriously as we do diet and exercise habits.46．What’s Carl Jung’s view about dreams?A．They cause chaos.B．They damage immunity.C．They reveal secrets.D．They mirror reality.47．Why is the sleep process explained in Paragraph 3?A．To show a dream mainly occurs during REM sleep.B．To prove the minimum sleep time should be seven hours.C．To prove dream problems and sleep problems are attached.D．To show people often dream when waking up in the morning.48．Which of the following statements is true according to the author?A．Deep sleep is one of the stages of REM sleep.B．Adequate REM sleep contributes to a better memory.C．A sound sleep without dreams brings about stable emotions.D．The longer we sleep, the less time we spend in REM.49．What conclusion can be inferred from Paragraph 5?A．Dreaming promotes creativity.B．Dreaming helps fight depression.C．The brain still receives new information during REM sleep.D．The brain is paying the price for having more non-REM sleep.50．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．The importance of sleep lies in dreams.B．The absence of dreams is terrible for us.C．Dreaming patterns are more important than we realize.D．Dreaming has mystical power of strengthening memories.Many years ago, I bumped into an old friend of mine. He had devoted his life to acting but had never been quite successful. In his middle age, he seemed defeated and sad.I thought of his dogged perseverance. Was it smart or foolish? What could he haveachieved? Had he quit his dream of acting and moved on? Our culture does not look kindly upon quitting. Failure is perfectly acceptable as long as it eventually results in success.We chant “Winners never quit” and “If at first you don’t succeed, try again.” We lap up stories of persistence, of the author who submitted stories for years before her novels were published or of the athlete who trained since childhood to win gold at the Olympics.Persistence pays off when it is rewarded with success, but it does not reward every person. For every JK Rowling, there are thousands of aspiring writers who will never get published. For every Olympic athlete, there are innumerable others who trained every day of their lives and never made the cut.We all agree that doing the same things and expecting a different result is unwise. So why do we believe that persevering through failure after failure is a good idea? We consider quitting in the face of failure to be weak. We believe that perseverance is the key to success. Perseverance is only one part of success. You need talent or skill, as well as passion and drive. Luck and timing are also key to any great success.Our society believes that anything is possible, as long as you “believe”. But not everyone can make it. Quitting when you’ re not ahead is sometimes the smartest thing to do. Obviously, if you enjoy a pursuit, regardless of its outcome, you should continue. If you knew your novel would never be published, would you want to write? If you could never be a champion swimmer, would you still train? Sometimes, it is wise to put your energy into something else.Failure is not always the path to success. Sometimes, failure is the door to something new.51．What do we know about the author’s old friend?A．He was dissatisfied with his acting performance.B．He switched his dream of acting to something else.C．He failed in acting because of a lack of persistence.D．He failed in all attempts to become a successful actor.52．The author mentioned JK Rowling mainly to ______.A．explain how she achieved success in writingB．show that success doesn’t happen to everyoneC．prove that success favors those who are perseverantD．encourage readers to pursue their dream until they succeed53．What is the meaning of the underlined phrase in paragraph 4?A．Held on to their dreams.B．Met the required standard.C．Improved their performances.D．Promised to be good players.54．What does the author advise us to do if we’ve failed many times?A．Make an effort to try new things.B．Stick to your goal until we succeed.C．Wait for the right time and good luck.D．Ask friends or family members for help.55．Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?A．Stick to your dream--anything is possibleB．Perseverance: the secret to successC．Flexibility vs. PerseveranceD．Perseverance-the only access to success?四、阅读表达阅读表达Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs? There are two primary reasons. First, some people are convinced that earning a living is wasting time that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their true talents.If this is the case with you, recall your last long vacation. Was it two weeks of complete enjoyment? More likely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun, with another half a week of “Boy, I can’t wait to get back to work.” If you didn’t feel such vacation blues, then imagine taking a leave of absence. You could use it to work on a novel, attend classes or just sit around watching TV. At the end of three months, in all likelihood, your self-respect would be at an all-time low. While all work and no play are not good, all play and no work are disastrous. We need to feel we are accomplishing something. We also need some form of order in our lives.The second and perhaps more common reason for people not to like their work is that they feel trapped. Once you’ve been at a company for five years and get married, have amortgage and a child, you often feel you have very little choice about jumping ship if things aren’t turning out as you’d planned. A steady paycheck can be the biggest restrict of all. People hate having to do something because they have no other choice.If you find yourself hating your job, your option takes the form of an up-to-date resume. You might also take a weekly glance through the help-wanted section, and make some visits to industry functions where low-key networking can take place. You’re not giving up on your current job. Rather, you are providing yourself with an option. If things get unbearable at work, you could jump ship.At the core of adopting a positive attitude to your workplace is, above all, assuming responsibility for your own situation. Most people feel controlled by their environment, but they really aren’t. They have to learn to manage that environment so they can get from it what they need.56．What are people likely to do after a long vacation according to the author? (No more than 10 words)57．What can people get from work according to the second paragraph? (No more than 10 words)58．How do you interpret the underlined word in the last paragraph? (One word)59．What do you think is the main idea of the passage? (No more than 15 words)60．What will you do if you hate your job one day in the future? (No more than 20 words)五、其他应用文61．假设你是李津，10月26日中午12:30你校在校园举办了“凉山义卖”活动，为四川凉山的贫困孩子们筹款。
