    I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.

    With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

    Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)．As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter — the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn’t necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

    1.What can be inferred about the author as a child?

    A. He never watched TV.

    B. He read what he had to.

    C. He found reading unbelievable.

    D. He considered reading part of his life.

    2.The underlined word “voice” in the second paragraph most probably means “ ”.

    A. an idea B. a sound quality

    C. a way of writing D. a world to write about

    3. What effect does reading have on the author?

    A. It helps him to realize his dream.

    B. It opens up a wider world for him.

    C. It makes his college life more interesting.

    D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.

    4.Which of the following can be the best title of this text?

    A. Why do I read? B. How do I read?

    C. What do I read? D. When do I read?

    As a child, I always thought about what the college admissions process would look like for me. I dreamed of the day when I’d get my first acceptance letter, and go on to learn as much as I could about many things as possible.

    However, as I got older, my fears of going to college augmented. I’m a senior now, and the college admissions process isn’t exactly what I dreamt of when I was 7 years old. There are deadlines to meet, majors to choose, and how am I going to pay for all of this ? My mind plays tricks on me, convincing that my roommate will hate me and that my classes will be horribly boring and that each day will begin at five in the morning. To be honest, while I have many reasons to be excited for the next journey in my educational pursuits, I’m also scared to death.

    I’ve invested hours upon hours studying for AP tests, SATs and ACTs. My peers and I sacrificed our Friday night football games, school dances and field trips to do better in studies in school. But is it all worth it ? What if the promise of college ends up being disappointing rather than a relief ?

    In a year from now, my whole life will change. I’ll be a legal adult. My dorm might be in Paris, Los Angeles or Chicago. I’ll be doing my own laundry, cooking my own food and paying for things on my own. I’ll meet entirely new people and say goodbye to others. But isn’t that also the joy of life ? I want to experience joy, heartbreak, first times and new adventures.

    College freaks me out, but you know what scares me more ? I must leave my life inside a comfort zone. It’s a big, bright and beautiful world, and I think it’s finally time for me to walk in it with the confidence at this time, I’ll be doing it right.

    1.When the author was little, he _____.

    A. considered going to college scary

    B. didn’t study hard to prepare for college

    C. often asked college students about college

    D. often imagined what college would be like

    2.What does the underlined word “augmented” in Paragraph 2 mean ?

    A. Increased. B. Spread. C. Survived. D. Disappeared

    3.From Paragraph 3 we learn the author _____.

    A. didn’t like outdoor activities

    B. prepared very hard for college

    C. didn’t like being with his friends

    D. considered going to college worthless

    4.What makes the author frightened the most ?

    A. Going to college.

    B. Living far from home.

    C. Experiencing heartbreak.

    D. Leaving his comfort zone.

    FOR thousands of years, Stonehenge has confused visitors with a seemingly unanswerable question: Why would anyone carry so many huge stones across Britain and put them in a ring? It seems even stranger when you think of the fact that it was done by prehistoric people working without modern technology, not even a wheel.

    Stonehenge has started endless debates over the centuries. Experts have said at different times that it was a temple, a calendar (日历) or a graveyard (墓地).

    Yet “all the ideas to date could be mistaken,” said Julian Spalding, a famous art critic (评论家) and former director of some of the UK’s leading museums. “We’ve been looking at Stonehenge the wrong way: from the earth, which is very much a 20th century viewpoint,” he told The Guardian.

    Spalding has put forward a new theory about Stonehenge in his latest book, Realisation: From Seeing to Understanding. “The current theories about Stonehenge are based on looking across the ground, which is a modern idea,” he writes in his new book. He told The Guardian that in ancient times, spiritual ceremonies didn’t happen on the ground. Prehistoric people believed that in this way they could get closer to the heavens. So Spalding says that “rituals (仪式) at Stonehenge were performed in the same way – not among the stones, but on top of them,” reported The Washington Post.

    He re-imagines a scene in his book, explaining how the mysterious site was used: Stonehenge held up a large, circular platform (平台). It was a raised altar (圣坛) reached by stairs, and thousands of people might have worshipped (祈祷) there.

    To support his theory, Spalding lists examples from ancient civilizations worldwide. In China, Peru and Turkey, such sacred (神圣的) monuments (遗迹) were built high up, whether on man-made or natural sites. In an interview with The Washington Post, Spalding said the wood that would have been used for the platform had long since rotted away (腐烂), leaving only the stone pillars (柱子) that supported it behind.

    So far scholars have had “a fair degree of skepticism (怀疑)” about these ideas, according to The Huffington Post. Sir Barry Cunliffe, prehistorian and Oxford University archaeology (考古学) professor, said: “He could be right, but I know of no evidence to support it ... There are a large number of stone circles around the country which clearly didn’t have a platform on top. So why should Stonehenge?”

    1.What is the article mainly about?

    A. The history of Stonehenge.

    B. A new theory about Stonehenge.

    C. Why Stonehenge has started endless debates over the centuries.

    D. How Stonehenge is different from other ancient civilizations.

    2.According to Spalding’s theory, Stonehenge ______.

    A. was a prehistoric calendar

    B. should be looked at from the earth

    C. was a raised altar for worship

    D. was simply a natural site

    3.How does Spalding support his theory about Stonehenge?

    A. By raising questions.

    B. By providing related figures.

    C. By quoting other experts’ research.

    D. By giving examples from other civilizations.

    4.We can infer from the article that Cunliffe is ______ Spalding’s theory.

    A. supportive of B. amazed at

    C. worried about D. doubtful about
