26、 I could have gone my entire life without ever reading Moby Dick, but unfortunately, I have read it. Twice, I’ve had to read it twice.
I can trace it as far back as middle school—the teachers’ desire to push classic literature on students as much as possible. And it makes sense, in some ways. There are benefits of being well read — a more robust(强大的)vocabulary, concentration and understanding of literary reference in the world. But at the same time, being well read doesn’t necessarily mean only reading classics for the sake of reading classics.
This isn’t to say that classic novels serve no purpose in a curriculum or in the literary world—classics are, in many ways, vital to a well-rounded education in literature. But so are pieces of contemporary(现代的)literature and books from centuries ago that haven’t been coined classics. So yes, there’s room for classic novels. But right now, there’s too much room for classic novels.
There are also many modern sayings that come from classics—like “Big brother is watching you,” from George Orwell’s 1984, and “Tomorrow is another day,” from Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind. It’s worth something to be well read in texts that have had an influence on the construction of modern-day language. But at the same time, when classic novels are included into the high school curriculum, they should be selected with care.
And as far as contemporary literature goes, there seems to be an opinion that it doesn’t offer as much wisdom and has less value and, therefore, we can’t learn as much from it. I’ve found this to be most untrue. After all, we tend to learn best from things that we can connect to, and contemporary literature is often the most relatable. And though it hasn’t had the time to become a classic，the structure and syntax(句法)holds its own. It’s different from classic work, but it’s not less valuable.
So let’s take a step back from the classics. We think that they’re pushing us forward, when, really, they might be standing in our way.
【1】Why did the author read Moby Dick twice?
A．To enlarge her vocabulary.
B．To meet her teachers’ requirement.
C．To satisfy her desire to read classics.
D．To have a better understanding of classics.
【2】For what purpose does the author mention 1984 and Gone with the Wind?
A．To prove classics are worthy of being read.
B．To show some classic novels are out of date.
C．To compare classics with contemporary literature.
D．To advise schools to select classic works carefully.
【3】What is the author’s view on contemporary works of literature?
A．They are not as valuable as classics.
B．They are more important than classics.
C．They should not be looked down upon.
D．They will become classics in the future.
【4】How should we treat classics in the author’s eyes?
A．Avoid reading them.
B．Treat them seriously.
C．Promote them at high school.
D．Reconsider their importance.
27、I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with praise, he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way.
Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate (准确的) when he stood up. Could he be more intent (专心的) while standing up?
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline (纪律) to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.
Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits (特点) and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual (个人的) and unique (独一无二的). It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life.
【1】At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him _____.
A．pay more attention to his study
B．keep silent in the room
C．finish his homework on time
D．get right answers
【2】Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt ________.
A．the importance of parents
B．the old form of education
C．the relationship between kids and their parents
D．the good grades of some kids
【3】According to the passage, which of the following statements is right?
A．We should help kids correct their wrong ways.
B．Parents should study their kids’ DNA.
C．Kids should be taught to behave themselves.
D．Parents should love and accept their kids.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A．Study hard and you’ll be successful
B．Be friendly to your children
C．Children’s success in their own style
D．Parents’ help with their children’s study
28、“We thought dogs would behave like children under age 5, but now we guess that perhaps dogs can understand when someone is dishonest,” says Huber at the University of Vienna in Austria. “Maybe they think, ‘This person has the same knowledge as me, but is giving me the wrong information.’ It’s possible they could see that as lying.”
Once that trust was established, the team had the dogs see another person move the food from the first to the second bowl. The communicators (交流者) were either in the room, and also saw the switch(转移), or were briefly absent and so apparently unaware that the food had been switched. In either case, the communicators would later recommend the first bowl, which was now empty.
In previous versions of this experiment with children under age 5, the participants reacted in particular ways. They would typically ignore the communicator who gave honest but misleading advice on where the food was. However, if the communicator had been in the room and seen the switch, but still recommended the first (now empty) bowl, young children were actually much more likely to follow the communicator’s knowingly misleading suggestion.
This may be because the children trusted the communicator over the evidence of their own eyes, says Huber.
The dogs in the new experiment, however, weren’t so trusting of lying communicators, much to the researchers’ surprise, says Huber. Half of the dogs would follow the communicator’s misleading advice if the communicator hadn’t seen the food switch. But only one-third of dogs followed the communicator who had seen the food switch and still recommended the now-empty bowl. These dogs simply went to the bowl filled with food instead. “They did not rely on the communicator anymore,” says Huber.
【1】What do Huber’s words in paragraph 1 show?
A．Dogs won’t believe people any longer.
B．We can train dogs to act like children.
C．Dogs are a lot cleverer than we thought.
D．Humans often treat dogs as friends.
【2】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The communicator’s suggestion.
B．The dogs’ reaction in the experiment.
C．The communicator’s purpose.
D．The children’s reaction in the experiment.
【3】Who would the dogs more likely trust according to the last paragraph?
A．The one who didn’t see the food switch.
B．The one who moved the food.
C．The one who recommended the wrong bowl.
D．The one who saw the food switch.
【4】What can we conclude from the passage?
A．Dogs are cleverer than children under age 5.
B．Dogs can sometimes tell when people are lying.
C．We can train dogs to find food in different ways.
D．We should be honest like dogs.
29、In America, men and women are allowed to learn to drive at the age of 16. It’s a turning point in any young person’s life. Being able to drive offers newfound freedom. It can also provide independence. So 16-year-oldAllan Gieger III was especially pleased when his mother and father bought a car for him when he passed his driving test.
His parents had intended him to use the car to drive to school and to work once he found a job. They thought it would give Allan a good start in life. Sadly, Allan did not see it quite the same way as his parents. He could not wait to pick up his friends and drive around the neighbourhood showing off his good luck. His parents felt that he let them down. They tried to speak to him about it, but the 16-year-old chose to ignore(不理会) their protests.
So not long after Allan received the car he was very surprised to see that its picture appeared on a website that sold cars. Next to the photo was the following message: “I have put my son’s car up for sale. I bought it for him as his first car. He thinks it’s cool to drive around with his friends. I don’t think he shows my wife and me enough respect(尊重). My son chose to throw all that away because he’d rather his friends had a stronger influence over him than me.”
Allan could hardly believe what he saw or read. It was reported that his father was able to sell the car within two hours. Now, Allan is carless. The father also received a number of phone calls from other parents congratulating him on what he had done. Allan was very upset at first, but when he saw how many phone calls his father received from other parents he began to consider his own actions.
【1】Why was Allan happy?
A．He was given a car by his parents.
B．He got a great score in an exam.
C．He entered his dream school.
D．He was allowed to attend the driving test.
【2】How did Allan’s parents feel after seeing his actions?
A．They were interested.
B．They were satisfied.
C．They felt unhappy.
D．They felt helpless.
【3】What did Allan’s father think of his son according to paragraph 3?
A．He didn’t care about his car.
B．He didn’t respect his parents.
C．He had a cooler head than his friends.
D．He liked his parents more than his friends.
【4】What happened to Allan after his father sold the car?
A．He was congratulated by his friends.
B．He asked his friends’ parents for help.
C．He experienced annoying phone calls.
D．He started to think about his behaviour.
