　　(2017·湘潭模拟)Franz Kafka wrote that “a_book_must_be_the_ax_(斧子)_for_the_frozen_sea_inside_us.”I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders，and it didn’t seem to require any explanation.

　　We’d just finished John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men.When we read the end together out loud in class，my toughest boy，a star basketball player，wept a little，and so did I．“Are you crying？” one girl asked，as she got out of her chair to take a closer look.“I am，”I told her，“and the funny thing is I’ve read it many times.”

　　But they understood.When George shoots Lennie，the tragedy is that we realize it was always going to happen.In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school，I’ve taught kids with imprisoned parents，abusive parents，irresponsible parents；kids who are parents themselves；kids who are homeless；kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods.They understand，more than I ever will，the novel’s terrible logic—the giving way of dreams to fate(命运)．

　　For the last seven years，I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher，reading classic works of literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight.I originally proposed this idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective high school—one that often attracts the literary－minded children of Manhattan’s upper classes—into a less competitive setting.The daughter of immigrants，with a father in prison，she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates.I thought additional“cultural capital”could help students like her develop better in high school，where they would unavoidably meet，perhaps for the first time，students who came from homes lined with bookshelves，whose parents had earned Ph.D.’s.

　　Along with Of Mice and Men，my groups read：Sounder，The Red Pony，Lord of the Flies，Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth.The students didn’t always read from the expected point of view.About The Red Pony，one student said，“it’s about being a man，it’s about manliness.”I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth，nor had I heard Lady Macbeth’s soliloquies (独白)read as raps (说唱)，but both made sense；the interpretations were playful，but serious.Once introduced to Steinbeck’s writing，one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly how amazing it was that all these people hate each other，and they’re all white.His historical view was broadening，his sense of his own country deepening.Year after year former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the classes.

　　Year after year，however，we are increasing the number of practice tests.We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts，not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text complexity.Yet，we cannot enrich(充实)the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts.We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse.We may succeed in raising test scores，but we will fail to teach that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them.

　　1．The underlined words in Paragraph 1 probably mean that a book helps to________.

　　A．realize our dreams

　　B．give support to our life

　　C．smooth away difficulties

　　D．awake our emotions

　　2．Why were the students able to understand the novel Of Mice and Men?

　　A．Because they spent much time reading it.

　　B．Because they had read the novel before.

　　C．Because they came from a public school.

　　D．Because they had similar life experiences.

　　3．The girl left the selective high school possibly because________.

　　A．she was a literary－minded girl

　　B．her parents were immigrants

　　C．she couldn’t fit in with her class

　　D．her father was then in prison

　　4．To the author’s surprise，the students read the novels________.

　　D．carelessly

　　(2017·衡阳八中月考)In the fall of 1985，I was a bright－eyed girl heading off to Howard University，aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere.Twenty one years later I am still a bright－eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.

　　My grandma，an amazing woman，graduated from college at the age of 65.She was the first in our family to reach that goal.But one year after I started college，she developed cancer.I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her.It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.

　　Then I got married with another dream：building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children.In 1999，we adopted our first son.To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional.A year later came our second adopted boy.Then followed son No.3.In 2003，I gave birth to another boy.

　　You can imagine how fully occupied I became，raising four boys under the age of 8！Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo.Not surprising，I never did make it back to college full time.But I never gave up on the dream either.I had only one choice：to find a way.That meant taking as few as one class each semester.

　　The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys.They often wanted me to stay home with them.There certainly were times I wanted to quit，but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.

　　In 2007，I graduated from the University of North Carolina.It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!

　　I am not special，just single－minded.It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge，but when you’re in the midst of it，it just seems normal.Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day.It’s a process.Remember：little steps add up to big dreams.

　　(2017·长沙雅礼中学高三月考)Like our body，our memory needs regular exercise to be in good condition.Like the sportsman who must train to allow the body to respond to difficult times，the memory needs its own special training in order to stay in “shape” and improve.

　　There are many factors that can cause poor memory like insomnia (失眠)，depression and alcohol.However，there are simple ways which you can follow to keep your memory in shape and actually help you to improve your memory’s condition and performance.

　　Never stop learning.Look for topics that interest you and really get involved in learning new information about them.Reading and attending lectures or programs are sources of continuous education of your brain with beneficial results to your memory.

　　Develop your social and family relationships.The more social you are，the better it is for your brain.Studies have shown that the brain and heart have a lot to gain from good family and social relationships.

　　Exercise your mind with games.The more you use your brain，the more you help your memory stay in shape.There are many games that can make you an intelligent person as well as entertain you such as chess，puzzles and board games.

　　Exercise physically can improve your memory.This type of exercise improves the circulatory (血液循环的) system.Even the simple but regular daily exercise such as fast walking can improve the heart and oxygenation(供氧) of the brain.The benefits of exercise affect positively many body systems，as well as our memory and other cognitive(认知的) capabilities.

　　Eat more fruit and vegetables.What we eat every day affects the performance and long－term condition of our memory.Fruit and vegetables are an excellent source of antioxidants(抗氧化剂)and vitamins that can help and benefit the nervous system.

　　So our memory is like a sportsman.The more we practice our brains and memory，the better their performance will be.

　　(2017·益阳箴言中学模拟)(Reuters)—At least 115 miners were pulled alive from a flooded coal mine in north China after being trapped for over a week, eating bark to survive, prompting extremely happy officials to hail their survival a miracle.

　　Officials said 153 miners were trapped in the unfinished Wangjialing mine, belonging to two of China’s larger state－owned firms in Xiangning, Shanxi Province, after water gushed (喷，涌) into the shafts last Sunday.

　　Later on Sunday night and throughout Monday, the survivors were pulled out from a platform, where the rescuers had drilled a vertical hole to ensure oxygen in the water－flooded pit and send down bags of glucose (葡萄糖)．Thirty－eight miners were still missing.

　　“It is a miracle，”said Luo Lin, head of the State Administration of Work Safety. “The trapped miners stayed so firmly determined down the mine shaft, passing through eight days and eight nights to live.” The workers also survived by eating bark from pine wood used in building the mines, Chinese television said.

　　The government had succeeded in encouraging thousands of rescue workers to pump out water and search for the miners. After that, the water level dropped low enough for rescue workers to enter the shaft.

　　It was rare good news in China’s dangerous coal－mining industry, the deadliest in the world with thousands killed every year in floods, explosions, collapses and other accidents. Shanxi Province is the heartland of that industry.

　　Strong demand for energy and not strict safety standards have made China’s mines often deadly places to work despite a government drive to clamp down on(对……进行压制或取缔)small, unsafe operations where most accidents occur.

　　Workers are tempted into (被诱惑去) the mines by wages that can be much higher than for many other jobs open to blue－collar workers and rural migrants.

　　China has consolidated (合并) or taken over many private mines, which has helped cut accidents. According to official statistics, the number of people killed in Chinese coal mines dropped to 2,631 in 2009, an average of seven a day, from 3,215 in 2008. But the deadliest accidents are not limited to private firms.

　　1．According to the second paragraph, what caused the serious accident？(No more than 6 words)

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　2．How did the rescuers manage to send down oxygen and bags of glucose into the pit？(No more than 5 words)
