　　People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten． If you lived in the Mediterranean, for example, you would consider octopus （章鱼）a great delicacy （佳肴）． You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive． On the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat梩he normally accepted practice in many northern countries． The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives． No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail （蜗牛）．Cooked in wine, snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world． There are countless people who, ever since their early years, have learned to associate snails with food．As my friend, Robert's flat is in a large town, he has no garden of his own． For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him． The idea never appealed to me very much, but one day, after a heavy shower, I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails on some of my favorite plants． Acting on a sudden impulse （冲动）, I collected several dozen, put them in a paper bay, and took them to Robert． Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased with my little gift． I left the bag in the hall and Robert and 1 went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hours．I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay to dinner．Snails would, of course, be the main dish． I did not fancy the idea and 1 reluctantly （不情愿地） followed Robert out of the room． To our surprise, we saw that there were snails everywhere : they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall! I have never been able to look at a snail since then．1． The underlined word "repulsive" in Paragraph 1 most probably means "．_____"． A． disgusting

　　B． pleasant

　　C． acceptable

　　D． delicious2． We can infer from Paragraph 3 that when collecting the snails, the writer ____． A． was glad that he could share them with his friend B． didn't think much about the result and it was just a sudden wish C． was excited about being able to give his friend a surprise D． was depressed because it was hard to catch them all3． The writer finds that snails ____． A． are as delicious as octopus

　　B． are disliked in his hometown C． are the most controversial food

　　D． are as popular as fried potatoes'4． According to the passage, people love different foods mainly because _____． A． they live in different places B． they have the same genes as their parents C． they have different understandings of delicacies D． they learn to eat certain foods in their families5． What's the best title for the passage? A． Foods and cultures B． Snail and octopus C． One man's meat is another man's poison D． People are illogical in front of delicaciesIn this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year. As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface. A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.” I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it. Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting (借用) my daughter’s experience. While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices. 1. What did the author say about her own writing experience? A. She was constantly under pressure of writing more. B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers. C. Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations.

　　D. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer. 2. Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest? A. She wanted to share her stories with readers. B. She had won a prize in the previous contest. 　

　　C. She was sure of winning with her mother’s help. D. She believed she possessed real talent for writing. 3. The author took great pains to refine her daughter’s stories because ________. A. she wanted to help Rebecca realize her dream of becoming a writer B. she believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance C. she did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so much D. she was afraid Rebecca’s imagination might run wild while writing 4. What’s the author’s advice for parents? A. Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions. B. Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience. C. Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in. 　

　　D. A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue.

　　24. When my grandfather died, my 83-year-old grandmother, once so full of life, slowly began to fade. No longer able to manage a home of her own, she moved in with my mother, where she was visited often by other members of her large, loving family. Although she still had her good days, it was often hard to arouse her interest.

　　But one chilly December afternoon three years ago, my daughter Meagan, then eight, and I were visiting her, when she noticed that Meagan was carrying her favorite doll.

　　“I, too, had a special doll when I was a little girl,” she told a wide-eyed Meagan. “I got it one Christmas when I was about your age. I lived in an old farmhouse in Maine, with Mom, Dad and my four sisters, and the very first gift I opened that Christmas was the most beautiful doll you’d ever want to see.”

　　“She had an elegant, hand-painted face, and her long brown hair was pulled back with a big pink bow. Her eyes were blue, and they opened and closed. I remember she had a body of kidskin, and her arms and legs bent at the joints.”

　　GG’s voice dropped low, taking on an almost respectful tone. “My doll was dressed in a pretty pink gown, decorated with fine lace. … Getting such a fine doll was like a miracle for a little farm girl like me — my parents must have had to sacrifice so much to afford it. But how happy I was that morning!”

　　GG’s eyes filled and her voice shook with emotion as she recalled that Christmas of long ago. “I played with my doll all morning long. And then it happened. My mother called us to the dining room for Christmas dinner and I laid my new doll down gently on the hall table. But as I went to join the family at the table, I heard a loud crash.”

　　“I hardly had to turn around — I knew it was my precious doll. And it was. Her lace skirt had hung down from the table just enough for my baby sister to reach up and pull on it. When I ran in, there lay my beautiful doll on the floor, her face smashed into a dozen pieces. She was gone forever.”

　　A few years later, GG’s baby sister was also gone, she told Meagan, a victim of pneumonia(肺炎). Now the tears in her eyes spilled over — tears, I knew, not only for a lost doll and a lost sister, but for a lost time.

　　Silent for the rest of the visit, Meagan was no sooner in the car going home than she exclaimed, “Mom, I have a great idea! Let’s get GG a new doll for Christmas. Then she won’t cry when she thinks about it.”

　　My heart filled with pride as I listened to my sympathetic little daughter. But where would we find a doll to match GG’s fond memories?

　　Where there’s a will, as they say, there’s a way. When I told my best friends, Liz and Chris, about my problem, Liz put me in touch with a local doll-make. From a doll supply house I ordered a long brown hair and a kidskin body to copy the outfit GG had so lovingly described. Liz volunteered to put the doll together, and Chris helped me make the doll’s outfit. Meagan wrote the story of the lost doll by giving examples.

　　Finally our creation was finished. To our eyes it was perfect. But there was no way it could be exactly like the doll GG had loved so much and lost. Would she think it looked anything like it?

　　On Christmas Eve, Meagan and I carried our happily packed gift to GG, where she sat surrounded by children, parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. “It’s for you,” Meagan said, “but first you have to read the story that goes with it.”

　　GG no sooner got through the first page than her voice cracked and she was unable to go on, but Meagan took over where she left off. Then it was time to open her present.

　　I’ll never forget the look on GG’s face as she lifted the doll and held it to her chest. Once again her tears fell, but this time they were tears of joy. Holding the doll in her frail arms, she repeated over and over again, “She’s exactly like my old doll, exactly like her.”

　　And perhaps she wasn’t saying that just to be kind. Perhaps however impossible it seemed, we had managed to produce a close copy of the doll she remembered. But as I watched my eight-year-old daughter and her great-grandmother examining the doll together, I thought of a likelier explanation. What GG really recognized, perhaps, was the love that inspired the gift. And love, wherever it comes from, always looks the same.

　　1. GG moved in with her daughter because____.

　　A. she wanted to live with a large family

　　B. she was not able to live on her own due to her weakness

　　C. her husband passed away

　　D. she thought it was the children’s obligation to take care of her

　　2. Why did GG become very emotional on a December afternoon?

　　A. Because she saw her great granddaughter’s doll.

　　B. Because she recalled her dead parents.

　　C. Because she was surrounded by her offspring.

　　D. Because she felt lonely during the Christmas season.

　　3. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?

　　A. GG’s doll was important and was a symbol of many things.

　　B. GG showed great respect for his husband’s love.

　　C. GG missed the great old days she spent with her family.

　　D. GG was grateful for her long life.

　　4. What happened to GG’s baby sister?

　　A. She envied her sister all her life.

　　B. She felt guilty for breaking GG’s doll and decided to go.

　　C. She left home at a young age.

　　D. She died of some disease at a young age.

　　5. Why did Meagan’s mum feel proud of her daughter?

　　A. Because she was clever.

　　B. Because she was loving.

　　C. Because she was sensitive.

　　D. Because she was imaginative.

　　6. The main idea of the passage is that ____.

　　A. treating the elderly well is moral

　　B. it is impossible to copy the exact doll for the elderly

　　C. love, the permanent rhythm of life, will always remain in the elderly’s heart

　　D. physical comfort from children rather than psychological care is important

　　25. Susan Sontag（1933-2004）was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything---to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s，publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review，she appeared as the symbol of American culture life，trying hard to follow every new development in literature，film and art. With great effort and serious judgment，Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture. Seriousness was one of Sontag's lifelong watchwords（格言），but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In "Notes Camp", the 1964 essay that first made her name，she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings，through which she could not have been more famous. "Notes on Camp"，she wrote，represents "a victory of 'form' over 'content', 'beauty' over 'morals' ".

　　By conviction（信念）she was a sensualist（感觉论者），but by nature she was a moralist（伦理学者），and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s，it was the latter side of her that came forward. In "Illness as Metaphor"------published in 1978，after she suffered cancer------she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities（被压抑的性格），a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit.

　　In America，her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California，won the National Book Award in 2000. But it was as a tireless，all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame.

　　"Sometimes," she once said，"I feel that，in the end，all I am really defending...is the idea of seriousness，of true seriousness." And in the end，she made us take it seriously too. 1．It is implied but not stated in the first paragraph that Sontag ________.

　　A．was a symbol of American cultural life

　　B．developed world literature, film and art

　　C．published many essays about world culture

　　D．kept pace with the newest development of world culture 2．She first won her name through ________.

　　A．publishing essays in magazines like Partisan Review

　　B．her story of a Polish actress

　　C．her explanation of a set of difficult understandings

　　D．her book Illness as Metaphor 3．From the works Susan published in the 1970s and 1980s, we can learn that ________. 　

　　A．she was more a moralist than a sensualist

　　B．she was more a sensualist than a moralist

　　C．she believed repressed personalities mainly led to illness

　　D．she would like to re-examine old positions4. According to the passage, Susan Sontag agree to the ideas EXPECT “_________”

　　A．we would try hard to follow new development in literature, film and art.B．cancer can be defeated because it is a special problem of repressed personalities. C．'form' should be over 'content', 'beauty' should be over 'morals' . D．we should defend the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.5．What is the passage mainly about?A．A lifelong watchword: seriousness.B．Susan Sontag is the symbol of American culture.C．How Susan Sontag became famous.D．An introduction to Susan Sontag and her watchword.假设你是李华，明天就是你的生日了，而且高考很快就要到了，你有很多话想对父母说。请你以书信的形式按照以下要点给父母写一封信。词数100 --- 120写作要点：1、感恩父母；2、对父母的期望；3、自己学习的打算。Dear Mom and Dad,
