Indeed, this nation’s best-loved author was every bit as adventurous as anyone had ever imagined.12. that gave California a name for getting up astounding enterprises13. “Well, that is California all over.”14. He insisted that man drop his religious illusions15. Has the dictionary abdicated its responsibility?II. Paraphrase1.a man who became obsessed with the frailties of the human race2.Bitterness fed on the man who had made the world laugh.3.He is here because ignorance and bigotry are rampant.4.All languages are dynamic rather than static.5.But neither his vanity nor his purse is any concern of the dictionary’s6.They make it easier to weather the bad times7.The Russians will hold. But it’ll be a near thing.8. Mark Twain digested the new American experience before sharing it with the world as writer and lecturer.9. The case had erupted round my head.10. spectators paid to gaze at it and ponder whether they might be related.11.Mark Twain began digging his way to regional fame as a newspaper reporter and humorist.12.“Let’s take the thing to court and test the legality of it.”13.a flagrant example of lexicographic irresponsibility.14.lexicography, like God, is no respecter of persons15.They made it harder to make a big killing in good times16.But it softens the ground for the second demand17.I want my fill of beauty before I go.18.who are bent on taking over the lion’s share of the trade19.And when they go, so does a huge slice of the new traditional industries worth keeping.20.Pug saw no point of equivocating.21.there is a touch of rough poetry about himIII. Translate the following into Chinese1.From them all Mark Twain gained a keen perception of the human race, of the difference between what people claim to be and what they really are.2.What underlies a ll this sound and fury? Is the claim of the G&C Merriam Company, probably the world’s greatest dictionary maker, that it required the efforts of three hundreds scholars over a period of twenty-seven years, working on the largest collection of citations ever assembled in any language ---is all this a fraud, a hoax?3. Mark Twain suggested that an ingredient was missing in the American ambition when he said: “ What a robust people, what a nation of thinkers we might be, if we would only lay ourselves on the shelf occasionally and renew our edges.”4. But, today, this vital British industry is more in peril than ever before. On almost all the major sea routes of the world, the British fleet risks being elbowed out by stiff foreign competition.5.“……they vanish from a world where they were of no consequence; where they achieved nothing; where they werea mistake and a failure and foolishness; where they have left no sign that they had existed--- a world which will lament them a day and forget them forever.”6.Smaller shipping lines do not have the resources to diversify. They face extinction. And when they go, so does a huge slice of the few traditional industries worth keeping.7.Darrow walked slowly round the baking court. “Today it is the teachers,” he continued, “and tomorrow the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until we are marching backwards to the glorious age of the sixteenth century when bigots lighted faggots to burn the man who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind.”8.What I like best are the stern cliffs, with ranges of mountains soaring behind them, full of possibilities, peaks to be scaled only by the most daring. What plants of the high altitudes grow unravished among their crags and valleys? So do I let my imagination play over the recesses of Laura’s character, so austere in the foreground but nurturing what treasures of tenderness, like delicate flowers, for the discovery of the venturesome.IV.

Being "Cool" in Middle SchoolA new study shows that gentle and quiet kids in middle school will grow up to rule. Or, at least, they'll live healthier and more productive lives than the "cool" kids will.The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having "cool" behavior, such as early romantic relationships. They were seen as "cool" and popular kids. But as they grew up, things changed. The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugs and relationships by their early behavior was no longer linked with popularity. Instead, they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers. Besides, the average "cool" kids, by age 22, did more poorly than the average kids in the study. They had a 45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol. They also had a 22 percent greater rate of criminal behavior. The study also found that these kids failed to develop important life skills. They spent so much time trying to seem cool. They didn't develop the skills needed for meaningful friendships. The study followed 86 male and 98 female middle school students for a 10-year period. It has some surprising findings. In particular, the study notes that the so-called "cool" behavior is a predictor （预示） of future problems with drugs and alcohol. In fact, it is a better predictor than drug and alcohol use in middle school. However, one conclusion of the study is welcome. Researcherssaid that parents shouldn't worry too much if their kids don't seem that popular. If a kid prefers to spend Saturday nights at home watching a movie or reading instead of going out with friends, that is not a cause for concern. Many "uncool" kids, they said, do much better later on than the popular kids do.1．Gentle kids are less healthy when they grow up.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given2．"Cool" kids try to imitate adult behavior.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given3．Romantic relationships seem cool to some teenagers.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given4．"Uncool" kids are more likely to commit crimes.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given5．"Cool" kids have better life skills than "uncool" kids.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given6．"Uncool" kids spend most of their time studying.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given7．The study followed the students for a decade.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given8．"Cool" kids marry earlier than "uncool" kids.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given9．Parents needn't worry if their kids are "uncool".A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given10．"Cool" kids remain popular all their lives.A．TrueB．FalseC．Not Given第二部分：阅读选择（第11～ 15 题，每题 2 分，共 10 分）阅读下面短文，请从短文所给各题的 4 个选项（ A、 B、 C、 D）中选出 1 个最佳选项，并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。
