Often __1__ to as TCKs (Third Culture Kids) or Global Nomads, these students have a(n) __2__ impact on the global community.So who are these Third Culture Kids? They are not a new phenomenon. As one looks back on history, there is a realization that certain groups of people have led highly mobile lives, a key factor in describing TCKs. They often __3__ their parents into another country and spend a significant part of his or her development years outside the parents' culture. They are __4__ to new cultures and to other people in thecommunity who also move constantly. Their numbers __5_ into the hundreds of thousands an increasing. Easeof travel and constant relocation of people through multinational companies and global business links contribute to this __6__.The question “Who am I?” is frequently asked by TCKs. They have had a good number of cultural identities, and have built relationships to all the cultures, __7__ not having full ownership of any. Although elements from each culture are absorbed into TCK's life experience, the sense of __8__ is in relationship to others ofa similar background.As you enter into the world of TCKs, one might suspect they are no different. But it is clear, after spending only a short time with them, that they bring a deep knowledge from inside and a special ability to compare international and local issues. They represent many countries and cultures. They are the future cross-culturalists and hopefully future politicians, diplomats, government employees and educators.They certainly experience a different lifestyle compared to their mono-cultural peers but we can benefit from their global and __9__ lives. So, whatever one chooses to label the international students as ---TCKs, Global Nomads, or Global Souls ---we will gain unbelievable __10__.1. A. referring B. regarded C. described D. referred2.

I just sat still and didn't say anything.2.When Kristi was old enough, we sent her to a kindergarten. It would have been comforting to cry the day I left her in that room full ofkids. Kristi had spent hour upon hour playing by herself, but this moment, when she was the “different” child among them, she was probably the loneliest.3.However, positive things began to happen to Kristi in her school, and to her schoolmates, too. Kristi's classmates always took pains to praise her: “Kristi got all her spelling words right today.” No one bothered to add that her spelling list was easier than anyone else's.ter, she faced a very special challenge. The final event of the term was a program based on a final outcome of the year's music and physical education activities. Kristi was behind in both. My husband and I dreaded the day as well.5.On the day of the program, Kristi pretended to be sick. Desperately I wanted to keep her home. Surely missing one program couldn't matter. But my conscience wouldn't let me off that easily. So I practically got a pale, reluctant Kristi onto the school bus.6.Just as I had forced my daughter to go to school, now I forced myself to go to the program. At the kindergarten,I felt worried because ofher slow and clumsy reactions, she would surely hold up her team.7.The performance went well until it was time for the sack race. Surely Kristi would find it tough. Now each child had to climb into a sack, hop to a goal line, return and climb out of the sack. I noticed Kristi standing near the end of her line of players.8.But as her turn to join, a change took place in her team. The tallest boy behind Kristi placed his 1 on her waist. Two other boys stood ahead of her The moment the player in front of Kristi stepped from thesack, those two boys grabbed the sack and held it open while the tall boy lifted Kristi and dropped her into it. A girl ahead took her hand and supported her. Kristi gained her balance. Then off she hopped, smiling and proud.9.At the cheers of teachers, schoolmates and parents, I silently thanked the warm, understanding people in life who make it possible for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings. Then I finally cried.1.When sending her daughter to the kindergarten, the writer must have felt .A.lonelyB. cheerfulC. worriedD. scared2.What does the underlined sentence imply?A.It didn't matter to miss one program because it was not important.B.It gave the author a good excuse not to send Kristi to the program.C.Kristi's illness prevented her from taking part in the program.D.The teachers wouldn't blame Kristi for she was ill.3.What does Paragraph 6 & 7 mainly tell us?A.The writer was worried about her daughter's performance.B.The sack race is very difficult for the kids at the kindergarten.C.The writer was unwilling to go to watch the program.D.All the kids performed well in the games except the sack race.4.The author expressed her gratitude mainly because .A.her daughter Kristi won the competition with the help ofher teammatesB.her daughter's teammates helped her experience the happy feeling of her ageC.the teachers at the kindergarten arranged some teammates to help her daughterD.the other kids' parents cheered for her daughter's good performance5.What's the best title of the passage?A. The day I criedB. An unforgettable experienceC.My disabled daughterD. A warm-hearted teamwork(B)Books, Films and PlaysThe novelist's medium is the written word, on might almost say the printed word. Typically the novel is consumed by a silent, individual reader, who may be anywhere at the time. The paperback novel is still the cheapest, most portable and adaptable form of narrative entertainment. It is limited to a single channel of information—writing. The narrative can go, effortlessly, anywhere: into space, people's head, palaces, prisons and pyramids, without any consideration of cost or practical possibility. In determining the shape and content of his narrative, the writer is restricted by nothing except purely artistic criteria. The novelist keeps absolute control over his text until it is published and received by the audience. He may be advised by his editor to revise his text, but if the writer refused to meet this condition no one would be surprised. It is not unknown for a well-established novelist to deliver his or her manuscript and expect the publisher to print it exactly as written.However, not even the most well-established playwright or screenplay writer would submit a script and expect it to be performed without any rewriting. This is because plays and motion pictures are cooperative forms of narrative, using more than one channel of communication.The production of a stage play involves, as well as the words of the author, the physical presence of the actors, their voices and gestures, the “set” and possibly music. Although the script is the essential basis of both stage play and film, it is a basis for subsequent revision negotiated between the writer another creative people involved. They are given “approval” of the choice of director and actors and have the right to attend rehearsals(排演),during which period they may undertake more rewriting work. In the case of the screenplay, the writer may have little or no control over the final form of his work. Contracts for the production of plays protect the rights of authors in this respect.In film or television work, on the other hand, the screenplay writer has no contractual right to this degree ofconsultation. While the script is going through its various drafts, the writer is in the driver's seat, although sometimes receiving criticism from the producer and the director. But once the production is under way, artistic control over the project tends to pass to the director This is a fact overlooked by most journalistic critics of television drama, who tend (unlike film critics) to give all the credit or blame for success or failure of a production to the writer and actors, ignoring the contribution, for good or ill, of the director6.Where might you find the passage?A. In a textbook.B. In a movie magazine.C. In a travelling brochure.D. In a shopping guide.7.Which ofthese subtitles would be most appropriate?A.Why does the future look good for writers of books, plays and films?B.What do audiences want from these three forms of entertainment?C.How do these forms of media compare for their producers?D.What benefit can we get from these forms ofmedia?8.Why can the novelist expect the publisher to print the manuscript exactly as written?A.Because the novelist keeps absolute control over his text.B.Because the paperback novel is most portable and adaptable.C.Because the novel is limited to a single channel of information一writing.D.Because the novelist is seldom advised by editors to revise the text.9.Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A.Playwrights envy the simplicity of the novelist's work.B.Experience in the theatre improves the work of screenplay writers.C.Screenplay writers have the final say in how a TV drama will turn out.D.Playwrights are frequently involved in revising their work.10.What can be implied from the last sentence ofthe passage? critics often blame the wrong people for the failure of a program.B.The director is a determining factor in the future of a television drama.C.Few people know the screenplay writer is often criticized by the director.D.It is urgent for the film critics to realize their mistakes.(C)Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future. However, on person wants to change this. Stephen Francisobserved then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann at a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her time were not exactly impressive, but even so, he seemed there was something trying to get out, something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few years later at Jamaica's Olympic games in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world, beat Jamaica's unchallenged queen of the sprint.“Where did she come from?” asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear again without signs.But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again at the World Championship in Britain, becoming the world champion with a time of 10.73 - the fourth record ever.Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica's toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers. Waterhouse, one ofthe poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent and overpopulated place. Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings; one of her cousins was shot dead, only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her family didn't have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn't afford shoes. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby. Maxime's early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything.It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse. On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who, just a few years previously, had been living in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports.But Shelly-Ann's victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped. The dark cloud above one of the world's toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days. “I have so much fire burning for mycountry,”Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it a woman's as well as a man's world.As Muhammad Ali puts it, “Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them. A desire, a dream, a vision.” One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth.11.Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly-Ann?A.He had a strong desire to free her family from trouble.B.He sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses.C.She had big problems maintaining her performance.D.She suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets.12.What did the sprinting world think of Shelly-Ann before the 2008 Olympic Games?A.She would become a promising star.B.She badly needed to set higher goals.C.Her sprinting career would not last long.D.Her talent for sprinting was known to all.13.What can we infer from Shelly-Ann's statement underlined in Paragraph 5?A.She was highly rewarded forher efforts.B.She was eager to do more for her country.C.She became an athletic star in her country.D.She was the envy of the whole community.14.By mentioning Muhammad Ali's words, the author intends to tell us that .A. players should be highly inspired by coachesB.great athletes need to concentrate on patienceC.hard work is necessary in one's achievementsD.motivation allows great athletes to be on the top15.What is the best title for the passage?A.The Making of a Great AthleteB.The Dream for ChampionshipC.The Key to High PerformanceD.The Power of Full ResponsibilityPart 2I.Fill in the blanks with proper words. The first letter is given.Since 1960, considerable scientific researches have been done on chimps in their natural habitats.

But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct to help one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their child ren. Who are able from a young age to gather their own food?In the laboratory, chimps don't naturally share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage w__3 __ he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no greater effort, a plate that also provi des food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull at random---he just doesn't care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.Human children, on the other hand, are extremely c__4__. From the earliest ages, they decide to help others, to share information and to participate in a__5__ common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperation in a series of experiments with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see a worried adult with hands full t__6__ to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help.There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but n__7__ processed in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train their children to behave socially. Another is that the helping behavior s are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that social intelligence develops in children before their general cognitive(认知的) skills, at least when c__8__ with chimps. In tests led by Tomasello, the human children did no better than the chimps on the physical world tests but were considerably better at understanding the s__9__ world.The core of what children's minds have and chimps' don't is what Tomasello calls shared intentionality. Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking. But beyond that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to be part of a “we”, a group that i__10__ to work toward a shared goal.II. Fill in the blanks with the given words in their proper forms.What do you do when you feel sad?Jack Ma went to see a film, one he claimed he had watched about 10 times. “My hero is Forrest Gump. Everytime I feel a sense of __1__. I watch the movie,” he said on CNBC on Sept 19. “I watched the movie before I came here to New York.”There Ma witnessed the Alibaba Group opening on the New York stock exchange with the largest initial public offering (IPO 新股发行) in American history.Alibaba, “the world's largest Internet commerce company”, according to The New York Times, “put China on an equal level with the US in the rapidly increasing global competition for technological innovation and __2__ transformation,” commented the South China Morning Post.It has also made Ma China's richest man with a fortune of around $25 billion (153 billion yuan), reported Reuter.Ma's rags-to-riches journey is just as __3__ as his Internet empire. Ma failed the national college entrance exams twice before he finally enrolled in Hangzhou Normal University on his third attempt. He studied English. After graduation, Ma became an English teacher for years after he failed to land jobs at a local KFC, a hotel, and the city police, reported USA Today.“Mr. Ma is a big believer in __4__,” commented The Wall Street Journal, also talking about Ma's English studying experience. Starting at the age of 12, Ma said he woke up at 5 am to walk or cycle to Hangzhou's main hotel so he could practice his English with foreign tourists. He did this for nine years and acted as a free tour guide to many.However, it was his vision and goals that launched his career. During a short trip to the US as an interpreter in 1995, Ma first experienced the Internet. He believed in the Internet's business potential when few other Chinese people did. He started Alibaba in his Hangzhou apartment, with 17 friends and $60,000 of funds. At the time, when e-commerce was unheard of in China, “I called myself a blind man riding on the back of blind tigers,” he once said. His unusual ideas earned him the nickname “Crazy Jack Ma”and Chinese media used words like “__5__”and “paranoid(妄想狂的)”to describe him.Indeed, Ma is different. Although he is very thin and about 160cm tall, “Ma is yet animated and forceful, with a bulging forehead and __6__, restless hands,” said The Guardian. “He is funny, creative, and a__7__ speaker. I often thought he has another career in stand-up comedy,” Duncan Clark, a Brit who is a Beijing-based technology __8__, told USA Today.While Ma joked to The Wall Street Journal that he had “a unique and ugly face so people always recognize me”, it is “his readiness to make fun of himself, and speak his mind that is a contrast to China's often __9__ corporate leaders”, commented USA Today.Ma told Time magazine that he was “old for the Internet”. He started to slow down and looked around.According to The Wall Street Journal, Ma plans to open a tai chi club with the actor Jet Li, build an entrepreneurship university in Hangzhou and continue to work on several __10__ projects.III.Fill in the blanks with the given verbs in their proper forms.“Have you gotten married?” “Have you received a salary raise??” “Have you bought a house???” Are you familiar with these questions starting with “have you” and ending in at least one question mark?If your answer is yes and you are getting sick of answering these questions, you probably __1__ (become) a member of the “home-fear group”.The “home-fear group” refers to those feeling anxious about returning home during the Spring Festival. They have deep concerns about __2__ (go) back home for such factors as heavy economic pressure, high costs of the festival, the troubles of buying tickets, the long distance of the journey exposure of private matters __3_ (involve) family or love life.Now, a special song has been tailor-made for this group.The seven-minute song utilizes a choir style and rap. The beginning of the song __4__ (sing) by the choir, which involves a family scene where a recently returned young adult is asked a series of questions by family members. After the “question attack” from relatives, the young man decides __5__ (reflect) on his past and also defend himself through rap.According to the official microblog account of Shanghai Rainbow Indoor Chorus, this is more than just a funny song, but a useful guide for young people. A careful listen to some ofthe lyrics __6__ (inspire) you on how to wisely answer many 'Spring Festival-specific' questions.“It is a very interesting yet brainwashing song, truly __7__ (describe) the less satisfactory situation quite a few young Chinese people have been trapped in,” Sina Microblog user Santilin Clouds said.According to a survey recently __8__ (conduct) among 1,918 young people by the research center at China Youth Daily, an overwhelming 86.4 percent of interviewees think it is necessary that they __9__ (return) to their homeland during the Spring Festival, even if they are afraid of losing face for an average life or career.“We might not work hard in the future if we __10__ (be) that good. That's enough! After all, the essence of spending the Spring Festival is reunion not pressure,” the song echoes the theme at the ending.IV.Sentence transformation.1.Scientists assumed that Stonehenge was more likely a prehistoric health center than a site for observing stars.Stonehenge ___________ a prehistoric health center ___________a site for observing stars.2.Our parents will certainly point our bad behavior out when we make a mistake or do something inappropriate.。

今天以吴赐越，越其可逆天乎？且夫君王蚤朝晏罢，非为吴邪？谋之二十二年，一旦而弃之，可乎？且夫天与弗取，反受其咎。
君忘会稽之厄乎？”勾践曰：“吾欲听子言，吾不忍其使者。
”范蠡乃鼓进兵，曰：“王已属政于执事，使者去，不者且得罪。
”吴使者泣而去。

Cloze (15%)Mt. Qomolangma was first conquered(征服) in 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing, his guide became the first climbers to reach the top. More than 750 times have people tried to conquer the mountain, but not ____41____ successful, yet every climber knows the ____42____. This doesn't stop teams of climbers arriving at the base camp every year with the courage of reaching the top.Two such climbers, and two ____43____ ones, are Scott Fischer and Rob Hall. Fischer, an American guide with much experience, was lost in a terrible storm which swept across the ____44____. A rescue team found him and his friend, but didn't ____45____ to bring Fischer to safety in the terrible conditions because he was dying. New Zealander Rob Hall, ____46____ experienced climber and guide, was lost near the top. These two men had something in common: they were both guides who took ‘tours’ of less experienced climbers up the mountain.There is a lot that can go wrong in an action to reach the top of Mt. Qomolangma: a ____47____ change in weather conditions or a wrong turning. Planes will only be sent to rescue if they ____48____ in advance. In spite of all these, there is a business in leading guided tours to the top. ____49____ mountain climbers can now pay $64,000 or more to achieve their aim.Many people wonder how guides can hope to ____50____their inexperienced climberswhen they fail to keep themselves alive.

Poverty, hard work, and even the fact that Father March was away with the Union armies could not down the spirits of Meg, Jo, Amy, and Marmee, as the March girls called their mother.[来源:/doc/f6b1c174fc0a79563c1ec5da50e25 24de418d010.html]The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults. Pretty Meg was often displeased with the schoolchildren she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to show up; but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always.The happy days passed and dar kness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs. March. “Your husband is very ill,” it said, “come at once.” The girl tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited and prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever when she was taking care of the sick neighbor. She became very ill but began to recover by the time Marmee was back. When Father came home from the front and at that joyful Christmas dinner they were once more all together.Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after a few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy had grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never fully regained her health, and her family watched her with love and anxiety.Amy was asked to go and stay in Europe with a relative ofthe Marches. Jo went to New York and became successful in her writing and had the satisfaction of seeing her work published there. But at home the bitterest blow was yet to fall. Beth had known for some time that she couldn’t live much longer to be with the family and in the spring time she died.News came from Europe that Amy and Laurie, the grandson of a wealthy neighbor, had planned to be married soon. Now Jo became ever more successful in her writing and got married to Professor Bhaer and soon afterwards founded a school for boys.And so the little women had grown up and lived happily with their children, enjoying the harvest of love and goodness that they had devoted all their lives to.56.The members of the March family were Father March, Mrs. March and their _____.A. four daughtersB. five daughtersC. son and four daughtersD. son and five daughters57.What does the sentence “Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after a few family troubles got usedto her new state happily.” mean?A.

Natural substances such as animal droppings and straw have been used as fertilizers for thousands of years, and lime has been used since the Romans introduced it during the Empire. It was not until the nineteenth century, in fact, that chemical fertilizers became popular. T oday, both natural and synthetic fertilizers are available in a variety of forms.A complete fertilizer is usually marked with a formula consisting of three numbers, such as 4-8-2 or 3-6-4, whichdesignate the percentage content of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash in the order stated.Synthetic fertilizers are available in either solid or liquid form. Solids, in the shape of chemical granules are popular because they are easy to store and apply. Recently, liquids have shown an increase in popularity, accounting for about 20 percent of the nitrogen fertilizer used throughout the world. Formerly, powders were also used, but these were found to be less convenient than either solids or liquids.Fertilizers have no harmful effects on the soil, the crop, or the consumer as long as they are used according to recommendations based on the results of local research. Occasionally, however, farmers may use more fertilizer than necessary, damaging not only the crop but also the animals or humans that eat it. Accumulations of fertilizer in the water supply ac celerate the growth of algae and, consequently, may disturb the natural cycle of life, contributing to the death of fish. Too much fertilizer on grass can cause digestive disorders in cattle and in infants who drink cow's milk.61. The word “essential” in line 2 could best be replaced by which of the following?A. limitedB. preferredC. anticipatedD. required62. Which of the following has the smallest percentage content in the formula 4-8-2?A. NitrogenB. PhosphorusC. AcidD. Potash63. The word "designate' in line 8 could be replaced by ________.A. modifyB. specifyC. limitD. increase64. The word "these" in line 14 refers to ________.A. powdersB. solidsC. liquidsD. fertilizers65. What happens when too much fertilizer is used?A. Local research teams provide recommendations.B. Algae in the water supplies begin to die.C. Animals and humans may become ill.D. Crops have no harmful effects.DDBACPaper TwoI.Fill in the blanks with proper words. The first letter is given.

(5%) Marijuana(大麻) is a part of my high school. The school is divided into two groups: those who smoke and those who don’t. Those who do, eat outside, even in 35-degree weather. The temptation to smoke is strong but it was not always so. As a first-year student, I was totally naive(天真的) about drugs. No one in my grade took them; I imagined that those whodid were poor, unloved and stupid. Cigarette smoke made me sick. Never, in my wildest dreams, did I imagine myself smoking a roll of pot(大麻叶) until the experience was a reality. I was curious. Having heard how great it was to float down the stream of consciousness, I tried it.The first time was exciting. I trembled, as the fear of getting caught appeared before me. I felt that I was taking a risk and that a policeman would suddenly take the evil thing from my hand, and replace it with handcuff(手铐). But no one ever gets arrested.Sometimes I wish they were. I know it’s terrible to wish evil upon another, because he or she would lose all opportunity to become perhaps a doctor or a lawyer. But then his parents would be aware that their child exists and that he is trying to express himself. He needs to be listened to.Marijuana never really attracted me because I could express myself through poetry and experience music without it. I like to know that all of me is here and that I control my entire body.Some scientists tell us that marijuana is not addictive(上瘾的), but when someone smokes a roll of pot with that peculiar look on his or her face, I can see how strong the attraction is. What I fear is that some kids don’t know when to stop. Mari juana is hurting us all.Answer the following questions in COMPLETE sentences.1.According to the article, smoking marijuana is not a major problem of some high schoolstudents, isn’t it?2.What made the author try marijuana?3.Was the author arrested because of trying a roll of pot for the first time?4.What does the third paragraph suggest?5.Why didn’t the author find pot attractive?1、Yes,it is.2、Curiosity.3、No,h e wasn’t.4、Those who smoke is trying to express himself.5、Because the author could express himself through poetry and experience music without it.VI.Translation (10%)1.据报道上海迪斯尼乐园的面积将是香港迪斯尼的四倍。

One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn,they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out .A while later they indeed saw mice running out,one after another.They everyone thought that all the mice had escaped.But just as they be gan to clean up,they saw two mice squeezing at the mouse of the hole. With some efforts,the mice finally go out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did no run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that was trying to bite the tail of the other.Everyone was puzzled,so they stepped nearer to take a look.They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape. After seeing what happened, everyone was speechle ss and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the mice. One serious Amer ican official said, "l think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.”The others thought for a while and said, "That was why!”A smart French said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense. A Japanese said,"I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son. " Once again the others thought for a while and fe lt it was more reasonable.So they expressed agreement another time. At that moment one Chinese asked, "Why did those two mice have to have a certain rel ationship?”Suddenly the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless.

The father of the modern cartoon was the English artist William Hogarth(1697-1764）.There were others before him who made drawings that ma de fun of silly customs and behaviour.But Hogarth really started the art of cartooning .He was interested in human nature ,in the character and attitudes of pe ople. His drawings made fun of universal（追的，影响全体的） situations and problems such as drunkenness, spoiled youngsters, crimes of all sorts,and e ven crooked elections. The work of Hogarth was continued by another Englishman. Thomas Rowlandson. His cartoons were printed in large quantities and s ent all over England.He exaggerated human features to make people look ridiculous, which is known as caricature （漫画，讽刺画）. Early in the 19th Ce ntury， European journals, which were similar to many modern magazines, began to print cartoons that expressed opinions on events of the day, and this wa s the beginning of political cartoons which appear in our daily newspapers today. One of the greatest political cartoonists was the Frenchman Honore Daumi er (1808-1879). He made bitter attacks on people in power and corruption in government.

Palmistry(手相术), or the art of reading the lines on a person’s hand, is thousands of years old. It probably began in ancient India.Most people expect a palmist to tell them about their future. They ask questions like: Shall I be rich and successful? Shall I be famous? Shall I have a lo ng and happy life?They do not ask:Am I a nice person? Am I brave or shy? Am I clever? Am I careful and reliable at work?But this is really what palmistry is aboutOf course. there are people who do not believe in palmistry. They call it pseudoscience(迷信). But there are other people who believe that palmistry ca n tell us a lot about a person's talents and personality. Using the lines and other marks on the hand, a palmist is often able to foretell something of a Person's future, but only in general terms.The first thing a professional palmist does is to study the whole hand, its size, shape and texture (Is it smooth or rough?)Next he looks at the fingers, th eir length and shape and their condition of the fingernails. Finally he will study the lines of the hand. It is these lines that most people want to look at and try to “read”.Clear, strong linesHand lines which are clear and strong indicate a person who is calm,good-tempered and generally contented with life. This sort of person will not get a ngry quickly and will be cautious about getting involved in anything out of the ordinary. At work, such a person will be careful and reliable.Small lineA lot of small lines on the hand indicate a person who is sensitive and excitable.These people are nervous, get angry quickly and get excited easily.

I've been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my wr iting processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result. T hey cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade Engl ish teacher correct sour grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting（稍纵即逝的)thought, the thought will die.If you capture the fleeting thought an d simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the t ool for thinking that It is.The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls"free writing". In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most lik ely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no mater how bad.Halfway through your available time, stop and rework your raw writing into so mething closer to finished product.Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices 【小题1】When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind” cannot work in parallel"(Para.1)in the writing process, he means____________. A．no one can be both creative and criticalB．they cannot be regarded as equally importantC．they are in constant conflict with each otherD．one cannot use them at the same time【小题2】What prevents people from writing on is________.A．putting their ideas in raw formB．attempting to edit as they writeC．ignoring grammatical soundnessD．trying to capture fleeting thoughts【小题3】What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?A．To organize ones thoughts logicallyB．To choose an appropriate topicC．To get one's ideas downD．To collect raw materials【小题4】One common concern of writers about "free writing" is that________.A．it overstresses the role of the creative mindB．it takes too much time to edit afterwardsC．it may bring about too much criticismD．it does not help them to think clearly六、完型填空24.
