The images have been created by coin designer Emma Noble,who said it was “amazing to be given the opportunity to work with such famous and treasuredliterary characters”.Potter’s The Tale of Peter Rabbit,featuring Peter and his better-behaved siblings(兄弟姐妹)Flopsy,Mopsy and Cottontail,was the first of her stories to be published,released in1902by Frederick Warne&Co.Potter would go on to follow it with a series of much-loved stories which remain popular today,from The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin to The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck.28.Which character from children’s literature can be found on the UK coin?A.Jemima Puddle-DuckB.Squirrel NutkinC.Flopsy,Mopsy and CottontailD.Peter Rabbit29.According to the passage,the coins will be released by the Royal Mint to_____.A.celebrate the150th anniversary of the birth of Beatrix PotterB.celebrate the150th anniversary of the birth of Peter RabbitC.celebrate the first publication of The Tale of Peter RabbitD.promote the sales of Beatrix Potter’s works30.Which of the following statement is true?A.Peter Rabbit is one of the most recognized literary characters in UK.B.The Tale of Peter Rabbit mainly features his better-behaved siblings.C.It was Emma Noble who created Peter Rabbit,the famous literary character.D.Uncoloured versions of the Peter Rabbit coin are available now.31.Where is this passage probably taken from?A.An autobiographyB.A children’s bookC.A travel guideD.A news reportDUnderstanding one's own history is important for young people's learning and development.Students are often asked to write a story about their own family's history or about a special person in their family.But too rarely do students focus on the history of their own community or their own people,in a way that helps them to understand why they find themselves in a particular situation.When people understand their own history,they are able to grapple with the influence of the social structures that sometimes limit the possibilities in their lives. Taking this approach opens the door for young people to be managers of their own learning and development as they understand why they find themselves where they are.,Many people I have been talking to about this issue agree that not only schools but also public bodies and families have failed to educate young people about their own history.And I know from my own experience how difficult it was for my father to talk about his family's experience in1944.This may be a reflection of the sadness that people feel about that history and not wanting to make it a burden on theiryoung people.But in today's situation,those I spoke with now clearly see that as a mistake.If our society is ever to find a way to properly deal with the influence of our own history,including what has happened to our Native American,African-American and Latino friends,our schools must step up to help young people understand their own stories.Families and related social bodies must do the same.32.According to Paragraph1,a good knowledge of our own history can helpus_____.A.become good at writing storiesB.make our influence on the society strongerC.gain a good understanding of our present situationD.understand the importance of learning and development33.What does the underlined phrase"grapple with"in Paragraph2mean?A.Manage.B.Recover.C.Exercise.D. Determine.34.It can be inferred from Paragraph3that the author's family's experience in1944 was_____.A.interestingB.surprisingC.harmfulD. painful35.The passage mainly encourages us to_____.A.write our own storiesB.learn our own historyC.understand the importance of historyD.have a proper attitude towards history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。
