November not only marks the publication of Toni Morrison’s eagerly anticipated(期待) eighth novel, Love, but it is also the tenth anniversary of her Nobel Prize for Literature. Morrison is the first black woman to receive a Nobel, and so honored before her in literature are only two black men:Wole Soyinka, the Nigerian playwright, poet and novelist, in 1986; and Derek Walcott, the Caribbean-born poet, in 1992. But Morrison is also the first and only American-born Nobel prizewinner for literature since 1962, the year novelist John Steinbeck received the award.

Like Song of Solomon, Love is a multigenerational story, revealing the personal and communal legacy() of an outstanding black family. As Morrison scholars will tell you, Love is the third volume of a literary master’s trilogy(三部曲)investigating the many complexities of love. This trilogy began with Beloved(1988), which deals with a black mother’s love under slavery and in freedom. Jazzy(1993), the second volume, tells a story of romantic love in 1920s Harlem. This latest novel looks back from the 1970s to the 1940s and 50s.

The emotional center of Love is Bill Cosey, the former owner and host of the shabby Cosey’s Hotel and Resort in Silk, North Carolina, described in the novel as “the best and best-known vacation sport for colored folk on the East Coast.” We get to know Cosey through the memories of five women who survive and love him: his granddaughter, his widow, two former employees, and a homeless young girl.

The latest novel, Love, had been described in the promotional material from her publisher as “Morrison’s most accessible work since Song of Solomon.” This comparison to her third novel, published in 1977, was an effective selling point.

61. What would be the best title for the text?

A.      Toni Morrison’s latest novels

B.      Toni Morrison and her trilogy

C.      Toni Morrison and her novel Love

D.     Toni Morrison, the Nobel prizewinner

62. What can we learn about John Steinbeck?

A.      He was a black writer.

B.      He was born in America.

C.      He received the Nobel Prize after Morrison

D.     He was the first American novelist to win a Nobel

63. The similarity between Love and Song of Solomon is that they both _____.

A.      belong to the same trilogy together with Beloved

B.      concern families of more than one generation

C.      deal with life of blacks under slavery

D.     investigate life in 1920s Harlem

64. The novel Love mainly describes ______.

A.      the best-known vacation spot for blacks

B.      the life of an outstanding black family under slavery

C.      the miserable experience of the five women in Harlem

D.     the memories of five women about Bill Cosey

The UK's education system is ranked(排列) sixth best in the developed world, according to a global league table published by education firm Pearson in October,2012.

The first and second places are taken by Finland and South Korea.The rankings combine international test results and data such as graduation rates between 2006 and 2010.

Sir Michael Barber, Pearson's chief education adviser, says successful countries give teachers a high status and have a "culture" of education.

International comparisons in education have become increasingly significant - and this latest league table is based upon a series of global test results combined with measures of education systems, such as how many people go on to university.

The two education superpowers - Finland and South Korea - are followed by three other high-performing Asian education systems - Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore.

The UK is then only ranked at the head of an above-average group including the Netherlands, New Zealand, Canada and Ireland.

These are ahead of a middle-ranking group including the United States, Germany and France. At the lowest end are Mexico, Brazil and Indonesia.

These comparisons draw upon tests that are taken every three or four years, in areas such as maths, science and literacy - and so present a picture lagging by several years.

Looking at education systems that succeed, the study concludes that spending is important, but not as much as having a culture that is supportive of learning.

It says that spending is easier to measure, but the more complex impact of a society's attitude to education can make a big difference.

The success of Asian countries in these rankings reflects the high value attached to education and the expectations of parents. This can continue to be a factor when families migrate to other countries, says the report.

Looking at the two top countries - Finland and South Korea - the report says that there are many big differences, but the common factor is a shared social belief in the importance of education and its "underlying moral purpose".

1.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.The two different education superpowers

B.The result of one report about education system .

C.The UK's education system is worst.

D.Finland and South Korea’S education system

2.According to Sir Michael Barber, Hong Kong’s education system is ranked       in the world.

A.2nd              B.3rd              C.4th              D.5th

3.All of the following statements is NOT true EXCEPT ________.

A.At the lowest end are Mexico, Brazil and Indonesia.

B.Education firm Pearson is disappointed at The UK's education system.

C.The United States’ education system is one of the best.

D.There are many big differences in Finland and South Korea.

4.What does the underlined phrase “comparisons” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.比较             B.结果             C.研究             D.考试

5.What’s the common factor about the education system at the two top countries?

A. The shared social belief in the importance of education and its "underlying moral purpose".

B. The developed economy.

C The high value attached to education and the expectations of parents.

D. Having a culture that is supportive of learning.
