21．（6分）Nelle Harper Lee» better known by her pen name Harper Lee, was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird, published in 1960. Immediately successful, it won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modem American literature. In 1991 an organization conducted a survey that made readers identify books that had “made a difference” in their lives. The result? Lee's book trailed only The Bible. Alongside the works of Shakespeare and Twain, this novel remains one of the most widely taught books nationwide, reaching about 70% of American public schools. What makes it such a typical read for young people?English class is a place where young Americans come to know themselves. In the folds of dusty books, students can make contact with humanity beyond the shallow small talk of the school hallways. Disturbed by hormones (荷尔蒙）and anxiety, teenagers get through school with confusion and frustration. Literature is a safety valve (安全阀）一it promises relief, a place to figure out one's problems and get to know oneself better.The novel particularly distinguishes itself in this aspect. It speaks in a child's voice without treating its readership as children. Some critics have called it an “impossible” achievement, a children's book penned by a well-educated adult — it's unlikely that a child like Scout could exist in the real world. But that's exactly what makes it such a charming, attractive read for young people. It indicates the consciousness of a well-educated adult facing difficult realities, but describes it through the light and playful voice of a curious little girl.Gaby Hick, a third- year student focused on English literature at Brown University, calls it ^one of the first books that kids and young adults read that deals with serious issues 一rape, race, mental issues”. She adds, “The story makes these adult themes accessible because of Scout.” The book’s setting, a small town in Alabama affected by the Great Depression of the 1930s, may appear very different from the experience of most kids reading it today. But Lee's words make her story feel alive and present.In 2006, however, critic Thomas Mallon expressed his regret about the book's avoiding complexity in The New Yorker. But her novel makes a great teaching tool for teenagers precisely because its moral view is as clear as that of one of Aesop's Fables. That absence of ambiguity (含糊其辞）in this novel doesn't mean the novel is free of challenging ideas, either. Will Serratelli, another literat ure student at Brown says, “There aren’t many hard moral questions beingasked …but it opens up all these other questions that 1 hadn't thought about before. My English teachers always asked, Do you sympathize (同情）with this character? Would you want to han g out with them?’ When you give a kid a book where those questions don't even need to be asked, it forces them to dig deeper.”Mallon's criticism is accurate in that this novel may present too limited a view of racism in America. That's especially problematic because it is one of the only books consistently assigned to American students that acknowledges(承认）racial discrimination (歧视）at all. However, To Kill a Mockingbird may owe some of its popularity as a teaching text to the fact that the narrative voice is a white one. Naomi Vamis, an African Studies student at Brown says, “It's another practice of telling stories about black people through white central characters,” she says.While the novel is undoubtedly worth its place in the classroom, English teachers may do well to consider that it is a white author's perspective — and ought to be the only beginning of a dialogue about race and never the final word. But as a gateway to more mature ideas, and as a YA(young adult) distillation (提炼）of complex concepts young people may not have grasped before, Lee's novel is invaluable.1、According to the passage, the novel To Kill a Mockingbird can help us .A．reduce much anxiety for fear of losing ourselvesB．understand what the real personality of human isC．know more about the past U.S. economic situationD．find and deal with some other complicated questions2、What does the underlined word “trailed” most probably mean in Paragraph 1 ?A．Was as good as. B．Tried hard to defeat.C．Went along the same route as. D．Had a lower score than.3、What can we conclude from Will Serratelli's statement underlined in Paragraph 5?A．The kids are unwilling to answer challenging questions.B．The kids have to face more moral questions.C．The kids tend to sympathize with the characters.D．The kids are motivated to think further.4、Why is the novel well received by teenagers in the U.S.?A．Because it reveals racial discrimination in America.B．Because a white author tells the stories about black people.C．Because it makes some serious adult issues accessible.D．Because it is widely used as a tool for moral judgments in society.5、What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A．To tell us about the content of the novel.B．To explain the reasons for its popularity.C．To introduce some different comments.D．To approve of the creative writing style.22．（8分）Cakan is a successful businessman from Montenegro, who has earned himself nicknames(昵称)like “thebest boss” and “Brother” by being surprisingly generous to his employees.Cakan, who owns "Cakan Sports", the largest sporting goods store chain in Montenegro, has been making news headlines for years, but not for his professional success. He is best known for the generosity he shows to his faithful and hard-working employees. The businessman firmly believes that his company can boom only if he keeps his employees happy, and to that end, he has offered the best of them some pretty unbelievable presents.Cakan first surprised his workers back in 2012, when he offered four of them brand new cars — 2 VW Golf 6 and 2 VW polo — complete with paid insurance. They were some of the oldest and most hard-working employees of Cakan Sports, and since the company had recently moved its operations outside the city, Cakan thought his best people shouldn't have to struggle to get to work. "When we saw them, we were speechless," Danijela, one of the receivers, remembers. "While the boss was saying ‘his is a gift for you’, all I could think of was ‘this is not real, this can't be happening to us’.” B ut this was just one of the generous ways Cakan has rewarded his employees over the years. In 2014, after hearing that one of his workers had been saving up his paychecks so he could buy a ticket to the world Cup soccer final, in Brazil, he took him there himself, at his own expense.Asked why he doesn't use cheaper means of motivating his employees, like a small raise or a cash bonus, Cakan had this to say, "Money comes and goes, but memories are forever." Asked why many of his employees call him "Brother", Cakan told a reporter that it was because "brothers always help each other".1、What is Cakan best noted for?A．His frequent headline news for years.B．His great success in his business.C．His extreme generosity to his employees.D．His largest sporting goods store chain.2、Why did Cakan offer his four best workers new cars?A．To make them travel to work easily.B．To reward their creative ideas in work.C．To encourage them to get to work earlier.D．To help them reduce traffic expenses.3、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A Smart Businessman.B．A Considerate Employer.C．Hardworking Employees.D．Unbelievable Presents.23．（8分）A Guide to the UniversityFoodThe TWU Cafeteria is open 7 am to 8 pm.

Tasks that once required a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on your screen, and you’re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violating certain new rules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it’s OK to call. But that’s just thebeginning.“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 29-year-old office manager from White Plains, New Y ork. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terrible one-word message —“K.” “At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few words here. You’re not that busy.”There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to express their distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communicat ion.“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James Ivory, professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friends have their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings that have their own unique set of routine.But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguous clues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easily understand.“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness of the body language,” Ivory said, “People immediately fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up a feeling in seconds.“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”1、What can you infer about Mark from Paragraph 2?A．He is a businessman with a bad temper.B．He complains about social manners.C．He can’t bear one- word messages.D．He dislike a busy business life.2、According to the text, which of the following breaks the rules for communicating?A．John says “I got it.” to his boss face to face.B．Jim calls Bill without confirming in advance.C．Mary texts Lily to make sure if she can call her.D．Jack sends “Thanks a lot” to his business friends.3、Why may people misunderstand each other during digital communication?A．Emoji cannot sum up feelings.B．People use their own slang and customs.C．There are large quantities of written rules.D．People gets wrong messages without clear clues.4、What are people expected to do after reading tie passage?A．To obey their own digital communication rules.B．To be aware of rules during digital communication.C．To use advancing technology even with disadvantages.D．To keep pace with digital communication development.25．（10分）Lack of inexpensive, reliable energy delivery is one of the chief barriers to growth and development in sub-Saharan Africa. Nearly seventy percent of people living in the region lack access to electricity, forcing them to spend significant amounts of their income on costly and unhealthy forms of energy such as diesel (柴油) fuel to run generators and kerosene (煤油) for lanterns.But if there is one thing Africa is not lacking, it is sunshine. And that means a lot; indeed, for some of the world’s poorest people, it makes all the difference in the world.A little more than a year ago, Power Africa — a U.S. Government initiative (倡议) coordinated by the U. S. Agency for International Development, or USAID —and Power Africa’s partners, the United Kingdom Department for International Development, Shell Foundation, and the African Development Bank, started the Scaling Off-Grid Energy Grand Challenge for Development, with a focus on pay-as-you-go solar home systems. The Challenge’s goal is to provide 20 million off-grid (离网) households in sub-Saharan Africa with clean, affordable electricity by 2030. So far, the Challenge has made 40-plus investments in early-stage, off-grid energy companies, which are expected to result in some 4.8 million new electrical connections.One reason for the success of the start-up companies that have won grants (资助) from the Challenge is the fact that the cost of solar technology is falling fast, so it is within the means of those who live away from traditional power grids. And thanks to the new system of mobile money and pay-as-you-go financing, they can purchase the solarpower-generating equipment they need and pay for it in daily installments (分期付款) from their telephones, for as little as 15 cents a day.Thanks to these technological and financial innovations (创新), many people are getting electricity for the first time every day. In these newly-electrified communities, businesses can boom, clinics can safely store vaccines and students may study long after dark. Indeed, access to clean and reliable electricity can enable entire communities to escape the cycle of extreme poverty.1、What is the main problem people in sub-Saharan Africa are faced with, according to Paragraph 1?A．They are lack of electricity.B．They are lack of diesel fuel and kerosene.C．They are lack of money.D．They are lack of sunshine.2、What’s the aim of Power Africa?A．To make people richer.B．To make people healthier.C．To provide people with clean food and water.D．To provide people with inexpensive electricity.3、Which is NOT the reason for the success of the start-up companies?A．The cost of solar technology is dropping.B．They live away from traditional power grids.C．They can use the new system of mobile money and pay-as-you-go financing.D．They can pay for the equipment in daily low installments.4、The text is especially helpful for those who care about ________.A．agriculture B．environmentC．technology D．education第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）The most important lesson I learned in high school had nothing to do with maths or American history．It came at graduation, several minutes before I left Miramonte High School．I was rather shy back then, content to 1 around with my few friends and to concentrate on my 2 I was doing so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect scores and enough 3 to go to college．But my good record soon became a 4 to my well-being．In early June of senior year, the headmaster called me into his office．He asked me to give a leave-taking speech at graduation．I looked at him, my heart 5 fast．This was the6 for my hard work?
