22、Wonder was published in February of 2012 and was R.J. Palacio’s first novel. One day Palacio took her son to buy ice cream and saw him cry when a girl with facial birth deformities (畸形) sat next to him. Later, while listening to Natalie Merchant’s song “Wonder”, Palacio reflected on the situation and began writing the novel, hoping that a tense scene from her own life could turn into a valuable lesson.
The story centers around Auggie, a ten-year-old boy. Auggie doesn’t look like the rest of us. He was born with a facial deformity that has caused the first person who ever sees him to faint (晕倒). When Auggie’s parents sent him to a regular school, he must face the challenges of fitting in with his classmates and dealing with bullying (霸凌) and exclusion. Along the way. Auggie makes new friends, learns to cope with his condition, and teaches others about the power of acceptance and kindness.
The book is divided into several parts, each told by a different character, allowing the reader to see the events through the eyes of various characters. The themes of acceptance, kindness, and family relationships are central to the book’s messages. However, some readers may find the plot predictable, and others might want a more diverse and inclusive cast of characters.
Despite this, Wonder is a beautifully written and deeply affecting book that offers a powerful message of sympathy and acceptance. By exploring the experiences of Auggie and those around him, the book encourages readers to see beyond appearances and embrace our differences. Its themes and messages are both timely and timeless, and its impact on readers of all ages is undeniable.

23、It was Ensley who made me a poet.
When I was one, my family moved into a tiny apartment off 20th Street in Birmingham. I wrote my first poem, surrounded by toys. I was 7 or 8 and the poem was for my best friend who had moved away. I was angry with him for being willing to leave me, and I got mean. I figured his leaving would be easier to face if I pushed him away first. But as soon as the moving track pulled away, I realized how foolish I'd been.
So I wrote him a poem to apologize. The poem was terrible, of course, but with it, a lifelong love affair began—not with the boy who moved away, but with the written word.
I left Birmingham after I grew up to learn how to tell true stories in prose. After college in Alabama and graduate school in Berkeley, California, I moved to Kentucky to be a newspaper reporter. My skill at writing personal essays helped me land my own column and the chance to be included in a collection of essays published by Seal Press. For so many years, I had never quit the exploration of literature.
Then I came home.
In her book Writing Down the Bones, Natalie Goldberg writes, "It is very important to go home if you want your work to be whole...You must claim where you come from and look deep into it. Come to honor and hug it, or at least, accept it."
Now in Birmingham, I get to share my story in local magazines and on my blog. And I build my story through every friendship formed in this city of steel, sweat, and sweet tea.
【1】What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A．The author was always mean to her friend.
B．The author was afraid of pushing her friend away.
C．The author found it hard to face her friend's leaving.
D．The author wrote her first poem when she was one year old.
【2】When did the author fall in love with writing?
A．After pushing her friend Ensley away.
B．After finishing a poem of apology to her friend.
C．After having her essays published by Seal Press.
D．After moving into a tiny apartment off 20th Street.
【3】What kind of life had the author lived before coming home?
A．Challenging and risky.
B．Tiring and stressful.
C．Planned and unchanged.
D．Active and rewarding.
【4】Why did the author mention Natalie Goldberg's words?
A．To express her thanks to Natalie.
B．To praise Natalie's vivid language.
C．To introduce Natalie's book to readers.
D．To explain her decision to return home.
24、A generation ago young people longed to become lawyers and doctors. Now they desire to be the next Oscar winner or famous pop star. But one university psychologist has pointed out that this is damaging our self-image and sense of self-worth. Over recent years people around the world have been suffering from an increasing fear of their own “insignificance”, according to Dr. Strenger of Tel Aviv University.
He began a project on the phenomenon 10 years ago, after noticing an increase of fear in his own patients. His findings note hundreds of research projects that have recorded an unprecedented (前所未有) increase in levels of anxiety and depression. By using a wide-ranging framework Dr. Strenger thinks he has given the accurate cause. “The impact of the global entertainment network on the individual is to blame,” he said. “A new species—global man—is born and we are defined by our close connection to the global entertainment network, which has turned ranking and evaluating people according to wealth and fame into an obsession (狂热).”
As humans we naturally measure ourselves by those around us, but now we live in a “global village” where we are comparing ourselves with the most “significant” people in the world - and finding ourselves not good enough. Today, even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media. “This creates highly unstable personality and an unstable society,” Dr. Strenger said.
Dr. Strenger says people should stop measuring their achievement through the cultural fantasies of rich and famous people. The remedy (治疗方法) is a process that he calls “active self-acceptance” through a continuing search for self-knowledge through life. The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement. “People should invest time and thought in their personal growth from different aspects in the same way they invest in medical studies and law school,” Dr. Strenger advises.
【1】What can be known about the “global men”?
A. They are in a bad mood every day. B. They want to be a leader overnight.
C. They expect something unrealistic. D. They are independent of global network.
【2】According to Dr. Strenger, what leads people to feel insignificant?
A. Inside anxiety B. Outer pressure
C. Inner expectation D. Outside environment
【3】How should we remove the fear of “insignificance”?
A. We stay away from famous people.
B. We take time to improve ourselves.
C. We try to make our dreams come true.
D. We learn from successful people around.
【4】For what purpose is the passage written?
A. To criticize and advise B. To entertain and amuse
C. To present and advertise D. To compare arid conclude
