题目内容

My bookshelves are full of dust―and with good reason．When iIt comes to cleaning that part of my home，I suffer from the most serious case of avoidance（回避反应症）．

The thing is this：when I do set out to clean and re-organize my books，which seldom happens，I place myself into a really bad situation．No sooner do I take a title from the shelf, blow off the dust，and wipe down the cover thanI find myself sitting on the floor with legs crossed and my back against the wall．Pretty soon books get piled up on my legs as I am reunited with old friends．

It is as if these boobs have voices，and each wants to say its piece．“Remember me？I was given to you when you went into the Navy , so that you would never lack for companionshlp，”one whispers．Another says，“I was your first book of poems，given to you before you learned to love poetry.”And a third，“I was the book that made history so attrctive to you．”

Perhaps thegreatest pleasuret of re-organizing my books are the surprise―or better said，reunions―that occur. During my latest book cleaning adventure，I found one that had fallen behind the shelf:“Tales of Edgar Allan Poe．”Not an unusual title，but the words written on the first page made it very special“With Love from Mom and Dad，Christma 1965．” What’s this? A book on the physics of lasers（激光）．It is filled with mathematical statements，and I had bought it at a library sale when I was 12，not long after the laser had been invented．I couldn’t understand a bit of it，bul I did learn what “laser”meant．

What I end up with when I empty my bookshelves is a cross-section（横剖面）of my personal history. It’s like a road cut whre one sees all the layers of rock going back through time to the beginning of the simplest life forms．The books I’ve read―and kept―are not just old fiends．They’ re my resume．

44．What could be said about the author?

A．He is too busy to tidy up his bookshelves．

B．He considers his books treasured possessions．

C．He has made a lot of notes in his book．

D．He is a lover of sclence books．

46．What does the author enjoy most from re-orgazining his books？

Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.

In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because her thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop, however, she felt lonely----a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “Creative voice.”

“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.”

Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book, and a short-story collection.

36. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?

A. She had seven brothers.

B. She felt herself a nobody.

C. She was too shy to go to school.

D. She did not have any good teachers.

37. The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to _____.

A. work for a school magazine

B. run away from her family

C. make a lot of friends

D. develop her writing style

38. According to Cisneros, what played the decisive role in her success?

A. Her early years in college.

B. Her training in the Workshop.

C. Her feeling of being different.

D. Her childhood experience.

39. What do we learn about The House on Mango Street?

A. It is quite popular among students.

B. It is the only book ever written by Cisneros.

C. It wasn’t success as it was written in Spanish.

D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.

Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.

Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.

60. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.

A. depend on one sense in choosing food B. are not satisfied with their food

C. choose food in similar ways D. eat entirely different food

61. Which of the following eats only one type of food?

A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird.

C. The bear. D. The fox.

62. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.

A. the season changes B. the food color changes

C. they move to different places D. they are attracted by different smells

63. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.

A. food is chosen for a good reason B. French and British food is good

C. some people have few choices of food D. some people care little about healthy diet

“This Friday we’ll have the yearly Egg Drop Challenge,” said our science teacher, Mr. Baker.

“ You can work alone with a parter.”

My friend, Cassie, and I smiled at each other. We always worked on projects 36.

The 37 of the Challenge was simple― to build a projective container to keep an egg from breaking when 38 the stadium wall.

I made my sandwich that afternoon while waiting for Cassie. 39 the butter-cream gave me an idea.

“I have a brilliant design for our 40 container!” I said when Cassie arrived. “We can 41 the egg with some buttercream.

“Why not put the egg in a basket with a parachute(降落伞) 42 ?” Cassie rolled her eys.” The parachute is better than that stupic idea.”

I couldn’t believe it. Of course we’d had our little 43 in the past, but she’d never called any of my ideas “44” before.

“Then I’ll build mine and you build yours!”

45 words had been out, our friendship was challenged.

When Friday finally arrived, I had to 46 Cassie’s Egg Force One looked pretty good.

47, my Egg-cellent Egg Cream didn’t look quite scientific. We kids carried our containers up three stadium steps and dropped them over the side wall. Those whose eggs broke were out; those whose egg survived 48 three more steps and dropped them again. This would go on till the last egg broke.

After four rounds, only Cassie and I were 49 . I let go of my box. I heard someone say “ew” after seconds. Had my egg broken? I raced down the 50. The sidewalk was dotted with egg shell(蛋壳) from those 51 drops. Finally I found my little Egg-cellent Egg Cream.

“That looks like egg drop soup, Laura,” Cassie said. She was holding her Egg Force One. My 52 raced. Had she won? I looked at her basket. 53.

“My egg bounced 54,” she explained, pointing to a broken shell.

“A tie(平局),” Mr Baker said.
