    Walt Whitman was born in 1819 in Long Island, New York. Whitman received most of his education outside of the classroom. At the age of eleven, he worked in a law office as an office boy where he became interested in reading. He was soon reading the works of famous authors like William Shakespeare and Homer, and was well on his way to becoming one of America’s most well-known poets.

    By the time Whitman was seventeen years old, he had already worked as a printer’s learner, a worker, and a learning games to help his students with spelling and maths. In his early twenties, however, he gave up teaching to pursue (追求) a full-time career as a journalist and poet.

    When Walt Whitman first appeared as a poet, his arrival onto the American literary scene was met with controversy. His first collection of poems, Leaves of Grass, was so unusual that no commercial publisher would print the work. In 1855 Whitman published, at his own expense, the first edition of his collection of twelve poems.

    Whitman’s poetic style was uncommon in the sense that he wrote poems in a form called parallelism (对句法), in which his goal was to copy the flow of the sea and the quickly-passing nature of human emotion. A common theme in Whitman’s poetry is self-realization. In his work, Whitman moves from conventional patterns of rhyme to create a unique rhythm and a multi-layered, but truly American voice.

    “Although Whitman was considered a revolutionary by many, there is little doubt he loved his country deeply.” In his writing, he used slang (俚语) and various images, or voices, to create a sense of national unity.

    For Whitman, the “proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.” Whitman has undoubtedly become a part of the cultural history and image of America.

    1.Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ________.

    A. Whitman’s education

    B. Whitman’s early career

    C. how Whitman became a poet

    D. why Whitman’s poems were popular

    2.When Whitman first appeared as a poet, ________.

    A. he received a warm welcome

    B. his literary road was not easy

    C. he became famous for his unusual style

    D. his poetic style was copied by other poets

    3.What was Whitman’s greatest literary contribution?

    A. He expressed human emotion in his writing.

    B. He showed that flow of the sea in his poems.

    C. He used slang to show his love for his country.

    D. He created a unique rhythm and An American voice.

    I believe you can do your best. Not being the best but toughing the limits of what you’re capable of. I gained this belief from my third grade teacher, the most special, honored, trustworthy, and loved person in my life.

    Mr. Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the belief that talking to eight-year-olds didn’t mean he had to sacrifice proper statements or grammars. And he was demanding but he wasn’t unreasonable or cruel. He simply felt that no matter what your best was, you should achieve it.

    As luck would have it, I met him again as my eighth grade math teacher. I was not, nor ever will be, gifted in math. I remember my struggles in class. “I don’t know the answer,” I would say, “I can’t do it!” “Perhaps you don’t know the answer,” he would say quietly. “Do you think we might figure it out together? How do you know what you can do until you try?”

    Mr. Myrus lived around the corner, and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden. I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried, that was enough.

    “Don’t be so hard on yourself,” he’d say. “Stop blaming yourself. Did you try your best? Well, then you’re not a failure,” he often told me these words.

    Mr. Myrus died in 1978. I had never thought about his death. He was too young. I felt sorry. But when I think about him now, I don’t feel so sorry. He taught me to be kind, not only to others, but to myself. He taught me my own value. He taught me about honor, about truth, and about doing my best—and that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect. And of all the things I know, this I believe: We can’t all be “the best”, but we can, each of us, be our best, and I know that’s true because Mr. Myrus told me that.

    1.What can we know about Mr. Myrus according to the passage?

    A. He usually treats his students in a hard way.

    B. He is responsible for his teaching and students.

    C. He is a person who isn’t particular about what he wears.

    D. He sometimes is cruel and unreasonable to his students.

    2.The author thought he was a lucky dog because ________.

    A. he had got a great belief from his teacher

    B. Mr. Myrus had taught him for eight years

    C. Mr. Myrus became his teacher a second time

    D. he developed a good relationship with Mr. Myrus

    3.It can be concluded from the third paragraph that ________.

    A. the author preferred other subjects to math

    B. Mr. Myrus thought it was very easy to learn math

    C. the author was ashamed to admit his math was poor

    D. Mr. Myrus helped the author build up his confidence

    4.What can we learn by reading the passage?

    A. The author hoped to live a positive life.

    B. The author may have become a teacher.

    C. The author liked to recall his childhood.

    D. The author ended up being a man of self-confidence.

    根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    Living with a roommate can be a great experience as many roommates become lifelong friends. However, roommates living together under the same roof for a long time unavoidably conflict with each other. 1. To prevent this from happening to you, each conflict should be addressed in a productive, healthy way.

    1. Set a time for discussion.

    Once conflicts occur, you need to set up a time to discuss the conflict. 2. They may think about any problems they want to discuss. It also allows for a better discussion as the both roommates will most likely enter the discussion fairly calm.

    2. Make rules for discussion

    Before discussing the actual conflicts, set up some rules to guide the discussion. For example, each roommate is allowed to air one problem at a time and the other roommate has a chance to respond to it before another one is brought up. Making rules beforehand can prevent a screaming match from breaking out. 3.

    3. 4.

    You can use your discussion to point out to your roommates their great traits and specific things you like about them. While this won’t solve the conflict, it can help your roommates be more understanding of your point of view and more willing to compromise.

    4. Come up with a written roommate agreement

    Once grievances（不满） have been aired by both parties you should develop a roommate agreement that is written down. This agreement should discuss what the rules are as well as what consequences exist for breaking them. For example, roommates having a conflict about overnight guests may compromise to allow overnight guests only on weekends with guests on weekdays being gone by 11 p. m. 5.

    A. Talk about your problems openly.

    B. Point out good things about roommates.

    C. Being honest can avoid unfriendly discussion.

    D. This provides both parties a chance for preparation.

    E. And disaster can strike when a conflict never gets settled.

    F. A consequence may be that the violator(违反者) pays $5 for breaking the rules.

    G. This is because both sides know they will have an opportunity to speak.

    There are too many cars in our town now. For a result, there are lots of traffic jams, and the air which we will breathe is terrible. Our town is very old but all the streets are quite narrow, so there is no room for bus lanes, which mean that buses always get stuck in the traffic jams, too. However, lots of accidents with cyclists often happen because of crowded street. But I think there is a simple solution of these problems. The government should close city center to all traffic except buses and bikes, and build very larger car parks outside the town. Car drivers can take a bus into the city center and arrive at work or the shops relaxing and in a good mood.

    第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A. B. C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

    I wish there would be a way to describe China in simple terms but that's impossible. For the most part Chinese people are friendly, easy-going and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met.

    In China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely.

    The cost of living here is very low compared with that of the US. The city of Xiang Fan I live in isn't large and I live better. Non-imported(非进口的) foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is very low, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children can't afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areas in China. But they organized Project Hope many years ago. It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education.

    When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through. While it is true that economic miracles have not reached many areas of China, but we also have the same problems.

    When I am asked which country I consider better, China or the US, my answer has always been the same, “We are not worse or better than each other, we are only different.”

    1.What does the author think of Chinese people?

    A. He thinks most Chinese people hardly work.

    B. He thinks most Chinese people are proud.

    C. He dislikes most Chinese people.

    D. He praises most Chinese people a lot.

    2.What is the author doing in China?

    A. He is teaching English in a school.

    B. He is visiting the places of interest.

    C. He is studying in a college.

    D. He is on business.

    3.What are NOT cheap in China in the author's opinion?

    A. Clothes and shoes made in China.

    B. Local foods.

    C. Imported foods.

    D. Public transportation tickets.

    4.We can infer from the passage that the author thinks ________.

    A. the westerners have got to know China well

    B. the progress of China is seldom reported in the US

    C. China's economic miracles have appeared everywhere

    D. the education in rural areas is never cared about in China

    “Mobile phones killed our man.” screamed one headline last year. Also came statements that an unpublished study had found that mobile phones cause memory loss. And a British newspaper devoted its front page to a picture supposedly showing how mobile phones heat the brain. For anyone who uses a mobile phone, these are worring times. But speak to the scientists whose work is the focus of these scared and you will hear a different story.

    What we do have, however, are some results suggesting that mobile phones’ emission(辐射) have a variety of strange effects on living tissue that can’t be explained by the general radiation biology. And it’s only when the questions raised by these experiments are answered that we’ll be able to say for sure what mobile phones might be doing to the brain.

    One of the strange effects comes from the now famous “memory loss” study. Alan Preece and his colleagues at the University of Bristol placed a devic(装置) that copied the microwave emission of mobile phones to the left ear of volunteers. The volunteers were all good at recalling words and pictures they had been shown on a computer screen. Preece says he still can’t comment on the effects of using a mobile phone for years on end. But he rules out the suggesting that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our cognitive(感知的) abilities. “I’m pretty sure there is no short-term memory.” he says.

    Another expert, Tatterasll, remarked that his latest findings have removed fears about memory loss. One result, for instance, suggests that nerve cell synapses(神经元突触) exposed to microwaves become more—rather than less—receptive to under-going changes linked to the memory formation.

    It would be an even happier outcome if microwave turned out to be good for you. It sounds crazy, but a couple of years ago a team led by Willian Adey at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in California found that mice exposed to microwave for two hours a day were less likely to develop brain tumours(肿瘤) when given a cancer-causing chemical.

    So should we forget about mobile phone radiation causing brain tumours and making us unable to think clearly or reasonably?

    “If it doesn’t cause cancer in animals and cells, then it probably isn’t going to cause cancer in humans,” says William. And while there’s still no absolute evidence that mobile phone does damage your memories or give your cancer, the unanimity is: Don’t panic.

    1.What worries people who use mobile phones?

    A. Mobile phones will kill them.

    B. Mobile phones cause memory loss.

    C. Mobile phones heat the brain.

    D. All above is right.

    2.What is the attitude of Prece on the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our congnitive abilities?

    A. Doubt.B. Disagree.C. Approve.D. Wait and see.

    3.The underlined word “unanimity ”in the last paragraph most probably means “_______”.

    A. consensusB. disagreementC. possibilityD. impossibility

    4.From the fifth paragraph, we can infer that being exposed to microwaves for two hours _________.

    A. can result in killing you

    B. is likely develop brain tumours

    C. is unlikely to develop brain tumours

    D. will cause your loss of memory for ever
