16.When you think of the books that are read and taught in high schools across the US,what are the first titles that come to mind?The Great Gasby,Lord of the Flies.The Catcher in the Rye and of Of Mice and Men probably flood your memory.The authors of these books have something in common:They were all white men.
The truth is,many reading lists are short on female and minority authors.And some argue  that teaching the literary canon(文学经典)to students who no longer find relevance(相关性)    in the issues presented will fail to interest teens and ultimately rum them away from reading.
"When we think about summer reading books or adding a new book to a course,we're often looking for women or people of color,"said Scott Campbell,an English teacher at New Trier High School,who admired there's a gap in the curriculum where minority writers should be.
"Women a hundred or so years ago were not encouraged or expected that they might write,this is just one of the after-effects of male domination",Campbell explained.
"I think book lists in schools are sexist(性别歧视的),but I don't think it's the schools'fault,"said Jones from a high schoo1."I think it's because we still think good literature is only    written by white males,which simply isn't true.I do see,though,that teachers are trying to change mat."
Teachers at Hancock High School are doing the similar job.Hancock curricula include books and concepts teachers believe to be more culturally relevant to their students.
Hancock junior Sandra Rodriguez said she likes her school's selections that have replaced  some to the traditional high school reads.
32.Why does the writer mention some books in the first paragraph?A
A.To show these books arc mostly written by white men.
B.To advise students to read these books.
C.T0 comment on the authors.
D.To show these books are classic.
33.Why does Scott Campbell choose books written by women or people of color?B
A.These books are better in content.
B.There are few of such books in the curriculum.
C.He prefers these books.
D.Students like these books more.
34.How does Jones think of the book lists in school?D
A.They are not proper and school should be accused.
B.They are written by white men and are better than others.
C.They are more suit able for boys.
D.They should be changed.
35.What does"the similar job"in the sixth paragraph refer to?B
A.Changing the teaching method of literature.
B.Adding more culturally relevant books to the curriculum.
C.Arousing students'passion for reading.
D.Helpin g students read more books.

分析 本文讲述了现在文学领域里,写的好的书一般都是白人男性,而很少有其他的书使读者阅读.学校的书单也较为单一,目前一些老师也在改进这一问题,让同学们更好的阅读.

解答 32.A.写作意图题.作者提到这一串书名之后引出The authors of these books have something in common:They were all white men.他们的作者都是白人男性.故选A.
33.B.细节理解题.由第三段When we think about summer reading books or adding a new book to a course,we're often looking for women or people of color,可知,女人或其他肤色人种的书是当寻求新鲜感的时候阅读的.可以推知,这些书在文学领域都是少见的,故选B.
34.D.细节理解题.由倒数第三段,I do see,though,that teachers are trying to change mat,可知这份书单应该改变并且也正在经过老师的修改.故选D..
35.B.细节理解题.由上文的文意以及that teachers are trying to change mat,可知老师做的就是改变书单,让学生阅读更多种类的书.故选B.

点评 在对这种领域性较强的文章进行阅读理解,考生可以尤其注意中心句,中心段(首尾)、转折句和问题中出现的词,尤其是一些很有特点的词如专有名词.在文段中快速找到相应词语所在位置,问题的答案往往就在附近

6.Some people may say a hero is someone older than you,someone you personally know,someone who has done something everyone knows about,etc.I don't think a hero necessarily has to be an older person or a close friend or a family member.My hero is younger than me,but we are related.His name is Marcus.He is my cousin.He isn't necessarily a wise person or someone who does something great every day,but he has taught me to appreciate some of the simple things in life.
I am now in 11th grade.When I was in 8th grade,Marcus had a brain tumor (脑瘤) which had to be removed.Thankfully the tumor was benign (良性的).When the doctors removed it Marcus lost his sight.He felt down only once.Ever since then,he has been an extremely happy second-grader.He is very typical of a nine-year-old.He likes to tell jokes,play new games,and he likes to play tricks on people,just like children at his age.I love spending time with him.We go to movies whenever there is a good one and look after him every chance I get.
I say that Marcus helps to appreciate the simple thing in life.He doesn't have his sight and that causes me to realize how lucky I am to be able to see,to walk,and to talk.I can do everything I need to.If everyone could see how happy and satisfied Marcus is and how much he makes everyone around him happy,then they might just be able to better appreciate the simple things in life.

D.the idea that a hero must be a close friend
55.Why does the author consider his cousin as a hero?C
A.Because his cousin is a very wise person..
B.Because his cousin does great things every day.
C.Because his cousin teaches him how to enjoy a simple life.
D.Because his cousin teaches him to live a rich life.

5.Have you played it?It's a game for a person or for a carload.
Someone begins,"I'm grateful to God for…"And he or she shares something.Then the next person gives gratitude for something.This goes on for 5minutes or more until you reach your destination.There's no loser.Everyone feels happy after expressing gratitude.And sometimes you discover amazing things.
My 5yearold granddaughter and I played the gratitude game when she visited us.I found out she was grateful to her friend Josh…and"the other Josh".She was grateful to go swimming at the pool.She was grateful to have a daddy who played with her and to a nice mommy.
She would begin the gratitude games as soon as we settled into the car to drive somewhere.Playing it with her,I tried to be honest and not just say something fast.I really stopped to think.What was I grateful for at the moment?That our country was not at war.That we had plenty to eat.Playing the game made me more aware of the good things in my life.
A friend of mine was having a tough time seeing that there wasn't any good in his life.I suggested to my friend that he take a few minutes before going to bed and write down all the good things he could think of that happened during the day.
Later he told me what happened.He couldn't think of anything good.But he persisted until he was able to write a few things down.The next morning he decided to look for signs of good during the day.He sat down on his front steps.A robin(知更鸟) landed on the grass.In his words,it began"doing a little dance",preening(整理羽毛) and cleaning itself.He watched the entire show.It was delightful.He realized that if he hadn't been really looking for good,he would never have noticed the robin and would have missed what to him was a remarkable display.
That evening he filled several pages with recordings of good that had happened during the day and things he was grateful for.Gratitude had made a huge difference!
28.The purpose of the gratitude game is toC.
A.let people share their gratitude to God

B.It opened his eyes to nothing good in life.
C.It taught him the necessity of giving gratitude.

19.Carbon monoxide(一氧化碳) poisoning kills and injures many people and animals around the world.The gas has been a problem since people first began burning fuels to cook food or to create heat.It is a problem in all parts of the world that experience cold weather.
Carbon monoxide is called the silent killer because people do not know it is in the air.The gas has no color.It has no taste.It has no smell.It does not cause burning eyes.And it does not cause people to cough.But it is very deadly.It robs the body of its ability to use oxygen.
Carbon monoxide decreases the ability of the blood to carry oxygen to body tissues.It does this by linking with the blood.When the gas links with the blood,the blood is no longer able to carry oxygen to the tissues that need it.
Damage to the body can begin very guickly from large amounts of carbon monoxide.How quickly this happens depends on the length of time a perosn is breathing the gas and the amount of the gas he or she breathes in.
Carbon monoxide poisoning has waming sings.But people have to be awake to recognize them.Small amounts of the gas will cause a person's head to hurt.He or she may beginto feel tired.The person may have trouble thinking clearly.Peole develop severe head pains as the amount of gas continues to erter their blood.They will begin to feel very tired and sleepy.They may have terribe stomach pains.
Medical experts say carbon monoxide affects people differently.For example,a small child will experience health problems or die much quicker than an adult will.The general heath of person or his or her age can also be important.An older adult with health problems may suffer the effects of carbon monoxide more quickly than a younger person with no health problems.People with heart disease may suffer chest pains.They may begin to have trouble breathing.
 
31.Why is carbon monoxide called the silent killer?B
A.Because it tastes and smells good.
B.Because it is not easily noticed.
C.Because it kills and injures people.
D.Because it always harms people.
32.How does carbon monoxide harm people?D
A.It makes people's blood unable to move.
B.It decreases the amount of blood in the body.
C.It makes body tissues full of blood.
D.It makes the blood less able to carry oxygen.
33.When people breathe in small amounts of carbon monoxide,they mayA.
A.feel a little dizzy             B.suffer a severe headache
C.go around in the room           D.have a terrible stomachache
34.Which of the following about carbon monoxide poisoning is true?C
A.Adults are affected more seriously than children.
B.Young people are more severely affected than old people.
C.People in poor health may have more severe consequences.
D.People with heart problem only suffer from chest pains.
35.The purpose of the passage is toD.
A.warn people not to burn fuels to keep warm in the winter.
B.list the damages that carbon monoxide brings to people.
