In summary, literature is the expression of life in forms of truth and beauty, the written record of man’s thoughts and feelings, and the history of the human soul.(Adapted from William J. Long’s English Literature: Its History and Its Significance for the Life of the English-Speaking World)
The second quality of literature is its appeal to our feelings and imagination. Its attraction lies more in what it awakens in us than what it says. When Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus asks in the presence of Helen, “Was this the face that launched a thousand ships?” he opens a door through which our imagination enters a new world, a world of love, beauty and heroism.

B级能力素养提升练Ⅳ.阅读理解AFour Novels Listed for ReadersBee Season by Myla GoldbergEliza Naumann, a nine-year-old, expects never to fit into her gifted family: her wise father, Saul, absorbed in his study of science; her brother, Aaron, the hope of his father; and her mom, Miriam, a bright lawyer. But when Eliza takes the lead in school and district spelling bee competitions, Saul takes it as a sign that she is sure to be of greatness.The Worlds We Think We Know by Dalia RosenfeldExtremely funny, this collection of stories takes readers from the United States to Israel and back again to examine the mystifying （令人迷惑的） reaches of our own minds and hearts. The characters of The Worlds We Think We Know are inspired by the power of passion and confusion. After being attacked in the streets of New York, a professor must repeat the terrible experience to recover his memory—and his lost love.Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan SafranWith only a yellowing photo in hand, a young man named Jonathan Safran Foer sets out to find the woman who might or might not have saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Teamed up with an old man with memories of the war, a dog named Sammy and the unforgettable Alex, a young translator who speaks poor English, Jonathan is led on a wild journey over a deserted landscape and into an unexpected past.At the End of the World, Turn Left by Zhanna SlorThis is an attractive novel from an unforgettable new voice that is literary, an interesting story about identity and how you define “home”.Masha remembers her childhood in the former USSR, but finds her life and heart in Israel. She was just a baby when her family moved, but eager to find her roots.1. Why does Saul start thinking Eliza will be great?A. She becomes his only hope in the future.B.

At the End of the World, Turn Left.D. The Worlds We Think We Know.BThe mental health of children is connected to their parents' mental health. A recent study asked parents to report on their children's mental and physical health as well as their own mental health. One in 14 children aged 0-17 years had a parent who reported poor mental health, and those children were more likely to have poor general health and a mental or developmental disability.Being mentally healthy during childhood includes reaching developmental milestones, learning healthy social skills and how to solve problems. Mentally healthy children are more likely to have a happy life and are more likely to work well at home, in school, and in their communities.A child's healthy development depends on their parents who serve as their first sources of support in becoming independent and leading healthy and successful lives.The mental health of parents and children is connected in many ways. Parents who have their own mental health challenges, such as dealing with anxiety （fear or worry）, may have more difficulty providing care for their children compared to parents who describe their mental health as good. Caring for children can create challenges for parents, particularly if they lack support, which can have a negative effect on a parent's mental health. Parents and children may also experience shared risks, such as living in unsafe environments, and the like.Fathers are important for improving children's mental health, although they are not as often included in research studies as mothers. The recent study looked at fathers and found similar connections between their mental health and their children's general and mental health as for mothers. Fathers and mothers need support, which, in turn, can help them support their children's mental health.4. What does the study mainly focus on?A. Some useful social skills.B. Children's future life.C. Parent-child mental health.D. Community's influence.5. Which is a challenge for parents according to the text?A. Raising kids without support.B. Living in a strange place.C. Sharing a common interest.D. Communicating with each other.6. What can we know about fathers from the last paragraph?A. They are often included in studies.B. They play a more important part.C. They seldom bear the responsibility.D. They can influence children's health.7. Where can the text be found?A. In a diary.B. In a book review.C. In a magazine.D. In a children's story.Ⅴ.完形填空I had this girl in my class and I always considered her to be really foolish.

课时分层作业(十二)Ⅰ.阅读理解APopular SelfHelp BooksWant to be happier, healthier and more successful? Here are four popular selfhelp books to get you going.HowtoWinFriends & InfluencePeople—by Dale CarnegieThis is the book that started the selfhelp genre(类型). Carnegie says financial success is 15% professional knowledge and 85% “the ability to express ideas and inspire people”. Here are a couple of his top tips: Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers; talk about your own mistakes before blaming the other person.WhoMovedMyCheese？—by Spencer JohnsonThis book is about how to adapt to change in your life. It's a story about two mice and two “little people”(who represent humans). They all live in a maze (迷宫) and spend their days eating cheese. But one day they discover that their regular supply of cheese has disappeared. The mice immediately start searching the maze for more cheese but the two “little people”get angry. Finally, one of the “little people”accepts the situation and decides to look for a new cheese supply.TheMillionaireNextDoor—by Thomas Stanley & William DankoThe authors of this book spent years interviewing American millionaires to figure out the secrets of their success. And they discovered that most millionaires don't live a life of luxury(奢侈). They're rich because they live below their means and reinvest(重新投资) what they earn.59 Seconds—by Richard WisemanThis is a selfhelp book with a difference. Wiseman, a scientist, says 59 Seconds isabout the “science of selfhelp”. And he uses science to show many selfhelp ideas are false. Other tips in the book are: If you want to eat more healthily, hang a mirror in your kitchen. This can reduce unhealthy eating by 35%. If you want to be more creative, put a plant on your desk. Studies show that you'll come up with 15% more original ideas.【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。

AWilkie Collins was born in London in 1824 and his first novel —a historical romance called Antonina — was published when he was 26. Shortly after this he met Charles Dickens, and they formed a close friendship that lasted for ten years and influenced both men's writing. Collins went on publishing 25 novels as well as many short stories, plays and works of non-fiction. However, he is most well-known for the two mysteries(悬疑故事) The Woman in White and The Moonstone.Collins published both mysteries as serials in All the Year Round. When it appeared in the magazine in 1860, The Woman in White was so popular that it became the subject of a song and a play. It even influenced fashion, and many women started to dress in white. Eight years later The Moonstone was published and earned Collins the title "the father of the modern English detective(侦探) novel". T.S. Elliot, another famous writer, said that The Moonstone was the "first and greatest of English detective novels", and it is still admired by modern crime writers today. An author of many mysteries, Dorothy L. Sayers considered The Moonstone to be "probably the finest detective story ever written", and many people agree with her. There are several reasons why they think so. One is that Collins uses different characters to tell each section of the story. The characters have very different personalities and voices, which are interesting and often amusing. There are also several features of the plot which start trends(趋向) in mystery writing. For example, many detective stories are set in a country house, where the theft must have been committed by one of the people in the house. A number of modern films have also used the idea of a cursed(被诅咒的) jewel stolen from a religious statue. And of course, in The Moonstone and most other good mystery novels, the person who at first seems the least likely to be the criminal turns out to be guilty.1.When was Antonina published?A.In 1824.B.In 1850.C.In 1860.D.In 1868.2.All the Year Round was a tide of ________.A.a magazineB.a story of a magazineC.one of Wilkie Collins' booksD.one of Charles Dickens' books3.Why is Collins known as "the father of the modern English detective novel"?A.Because his son was also a famous detective story writer.B.Because he was older than the other detective story writers.C.Because The Moonstone is the most popular detective story.D.Because many aspects of his writing are copied by other detective story writers.BIt is a book about friendship, loyalty and teamwork. It will make you laugh and cry and give you hope.Co-written by Jessica Kensky and her husband Patrick Downes, the picture book, Rescue & Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship, tells the story of a girl named Jessica who is dealing with the loss of her legs. Rescue, her service dog, discovers that he can be a good friend and help Jessica get through hard times.The book is illustrated by Scott Magoon, whose drawings show how Rescue works alongside Jessica. "He can pick up the phone and bring it to her if she needs it," Magoon said. "He can even open doors for her or call for help if she is in trouble."The story doesn't discuss the bomb attack at the Boston Marathon, which took place at the finish line, killing three people and injuring hundreds of others. But readers learn in the authors' note that Downes and Kensky are among those injured. Kensky lost both legs and Downes lost his left leg.It took two years to write the book, and two more to publish it. "The best part was having a good distraction(分散注意力的事) from the really hard times I was having during my recovery," Kensky said.Downes described how Rescue helped them. "When we're sad, he makes funny sounds and makes us laugh," Downes said. "He is also there to help us celebrate good times. If you have a friend, though things might be hard, you can overcome them together."Downes and Kensky and their picture book stand for "Boston Strong". Downes explained the term, "It brought people together after the bombing and brought out the best in everyone. Whenpeople needed it the most, we took care of each other."1.What happened to Jessica in the book Rescue & Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship?A.She rescued a service dog.B.She had to leave her friends.C.She lost both of her legs.D.She was involved in a car accident.2.What can we infer about the book?A.It inspires people to be kind to dogs.B.It is quite helpful to people in trouble.C.It is based on the authors' own experience.D.It places less importance on having a loyal friend in life.3.What did Kensky get from writing the book?A.She became more interested in writing.B.She felt it took her mind off her hardships.C.She made good preparations for difficulties.D.She developed a close friendship with Rescue.4.What does the underlined word "overcome" in the last but one paragraph mean?A.Get over.B.Pick out.C.Benefit from.D.Depend on.CAs the world's resources become rarer because of continuing land development and the growing human population, the natural habitats of wild animals have continued to reduce. As a result, the survival of some species of wildlife is threatened. To help protect wildlife, a lot of practice should be carried out by the general public.Create homes for species that are endangered because of losing their own natural habitats. Wildlife shelters should be developed, and habitats should be created in existing national parks. Efforts should also be made to protect existing habitats, such as providing food and water and limiting hunting. Breed (培育) endangered species in places such as zoos. Once the young animals grow up, they can be set free into the wild where their population will continue to grow.The general public may not realize that a species is endangered until it’s too late. Educational programs making use of TV advertising and instructional meetings at national parks can be used to make the public aware of the situation.The general public can help protect the wildlife by not hunting wild animals for sport or for a source of food. They should also stop supporting those who earn money from the illegal hunting of wild animals, such as hunters who hunt wild animals for the only purpose of selling them formoney.If there is no market for wild animals, there will be no killing of these endangered species. The public should avoid keeping wild animals as pets. This will limit the number of wild animals being tracked, trapped, sold and removed from their natural habitats.1.Many measures can be used to protect wild animals except ________.A.creating new habitatsB.developing wildlife sheltersC.protecting the existing habitatsD.setting the young animals free into the wild2.The underlined words "the situation" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to the fact that _________.A.people can do much to protect the endangered speciesB.many species are facing the danger of extinctionC.the general public may not know the endangered speciesD.human activities can affect the existence of endangered species3.What can we infer from the passage?A.Some people hunt wild animals and sell them as pets.B.The animal population in the zoo becomes larger.C.Hunters get little money from hunting wild animals.D.The general public is doing nothing about protecting the wildlife now.4.In which column of a newspaper can we find the passage?A.Environment.B.Sports.C.Technology.cation.DThe death of languages is not a new phenomenon. Languages usually have a short life span (寿命) as well as a very high death rate. Only a few, including Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, Latin, have lasted more than 2,000 years.What is new, however, is the speed at which they are dying out. Europe's colonial rule caused a sharp decrease in languages, reducing at least 15 percent of all languages spoken at the time. Over the last 300 years, Europe has lost a dozen languages, and Australia has only 20 left of the 250 languages spoken at the end of the 18th century.The rise of nation-states has also been decisive in selecting national languages. By making great efforts to establish an official language in education and the media, national governments have tried to reduce minority languages.This process of language standardization(标准化) has been improved by industrialization and scientific progress, which have created new methods of communication that are fast, straightforward and practical. The various kinds of language came to be seen as an difficulty to trade and the spread of knowledge. Monolingualism(单一语言制) became an perfect choice.More recently, the internationalization of financial markets, the spread of information by electronic media and other aspects of globalization have led to the danger to "small" languages.A language not on the Internet is a language that "no longer exists" in the modem world. It is out of the game.The serious effects of the death of languages are clear. First of all, it is possible that if we all ended up speaking the same language, our brains would lose some of their natural functions for language inventiveness. We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language or resolve the mystery of "the first language". As each language dies, a chapter of human history closes.Multilingualism(多语制) is the best reflection of multiculturalism. The destruction of the first will lead to the loss of the second. Creating a language without any links to a people's culture and way of life stifles the expression of their language gift. A language is not only used as the main instrument of human communication. It also expresses the world view of those who speak it, as well as their ways of using knowledge. To safeguard languages is an urgent matter.1.Which of the following does not contribute to the death of languages?A.The rise of nation-states.B.Colonial rule from Europe.C.The increase of human population.D.Advances in science and industrialization.2.The underlined word "stifles" in the last paragraph probably means "_______".A.cheerB.killC.createD.improve3.The serious effects of the death of languages include all except that _______.A.people would fail to understand how languages startedB.human brains would become less creative in languagesC.monolingualism would lead to the loss of multiculturalismD.the death of languages would become a difficulty to realize globalization4.What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A.To explain the reasons why languages are dying out.B.To warn people of the negative results of globalization.C.To argue how important it is for people to speak more languages.D.To draw peopled attention to the importance of language preservation.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。
