All writers dream of success. Yet some writers turn their back on success the moment it comes along. J.D. Salinger, the American author, is a good example.

On the face of it, the future did not look promising for the teenage Salinger. He seems always to have been running away from something. First it was school, then he dropped out of New York University. Finally, after failing to find a career in his father’s food import business and dropping out of yet another college he decided that his destiny was to be a writer. In the same year he joined a writing class at Columbia University which was taught by Whit Burnett, founder and editor of a magazine called Story. The March-April issue contained a story written by Salinger entitled ‘The Young Folks’. In it there are early versions of the moody, selfish youths that appear in his later fiction. Soon, his stories were appearing in various mass-circulation magazines but it was the famous New Yorker which he dreamed of, believing that publication within its covers would indicate his future potential as a serious writer.

Salinger has a huge reputation around the world yet it rests mainly on just one novel, The Catcher in the Rye. Published in 1951, it soon became highly popular with teenagers who identified with the hero’s powerful sense of dissatisfaction. Its success made Salinger a public figure. Most writers, of course, would welcome this. Salinger, however, hated it and refused it. He moved to a small house in Cornish, New Hampshire, where he lived away from society until his death in 2010 at the age of 91.

For Salinger, fame and artistic honesty were not the same thing. Some people become writers

because they wish their works to speak for themselves. Salinger appears to have been disgusted by the idea that he had become the spokesman for a generation. In death he has perhaps achieved his highest goal: to be out of the spotlight, represented only by his work. 1.According to the article, J.D. Salinger is an example of _____________. A. a selfish and moody youth B. a serious writer who hates fame C. a famous American author D. someone who lives away from society

2.Salinger’s career as a writer improved greatly and his reputation was assured after he ____________.

A．failed to pursue a career in business

B．attended a writing class at Columbia University C．published the novel ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ D．became a spokesman for young people

3.Which event in his early life confirmed his status as a serious writer? A．Publication in a magazine. B．Being taught by Whit Burnett.

C．Having a story accepted by the ‘New Yorker’. D．Dropping out of New York University. 【答案】 1.B 2.C 3.C 【解析】

1.B 细节题。文章第二段最后一句话有提到该作家期望自己的形象是a serious writer，并且hated fame and refused it，故选择B

2.C 第三段开头有提到他出名的原因Salinger has a huge reputation around the world yet it rests mainly on just one novel, The Catcher in the Rye，即这本小说是他的事业巅峰，故选择C 3.C 原文第二段中有提到but it was the famous New Yorker……indicate his future potential as a serious writer，所以可以得知在New Yorker上发表文章是奠定他严肃作家形象的里程碑，故选择C

4.If someone has an accident in the afternoon, you should ____________. A．Phone 37499

B．Ensure no one enters the danger area C．Report to the Police station at J J Thomson Ave D．Call an ambulance on 1-999

5.Where do you think you can find this notice? A．In the Assembly area B．At the Fire station C．At the University D．At Turner Hospital

6.Anytime you hear the fire alarm, you should _____________. A．go to the Assembly area B．phone the Fire brigade on 37499 C．use the red ‘break glass boxes’

D．make sure the fire alarms aren’t being tested 【答案】

4.A 5.C 6.D

【解析】4.根据大标题emergencies dial 37499可知选A。 5.本文为突发紧急事故如何应对，可知选C合适。 6.根据文章每周一8:30前测试火警，因此选D。

The months and years went by. I had been Joe’s apprentice for four years.

One evening, Joe and I were sitting in the village inn. A stranger came in, a big, tall man, with heavy eyebrows. The man had large, very clean white hands. To my surprise, I recognized the man. I had seen him at Miss Havisham’s many years before. He had frightened me then. He frightened me a little now.

‘I think there is a blacksmith here----name of Joe Gargery,’ the man said in his loud voice. ‘That’s me!’ Joe answered. He stood up.

‘You have an apprentice, known as Pip,’ the stranger went on. ‘Where is he? ’ ‘Here!’ I cried, standing beside Joe.

‘I wish to speak to you both. I wish to speak to you privately, not here,’ the man said. ‘Perhaps I could go home with you.’

We walked back to the workshop in silence. When we were in the sitting room, the man began to speak.

‘My name is Jaggers,’ he said. ‘I am a lawyer in London, where I am well-known. I have some unusual business with young Pip here. I am speaking for someone else, you understand. A client who doesn’t want to be named. Is that clear?’ Joe and I nodded.

‘I have come to take your apprentice to London,’ the lawyer said to Joe. ‘You won’t stop him from coming I hope?’

‘Stop him? Never! ’ Joe cried.

‘Listen, then. I have this message for Pip. He has ---- great expectations!’ Joe and I looked at each other, too surprised to speak.

‘Yes, great expectations’ Mr. Jaggers repeated. ‘Pip will one day be rich, very rich. Pip is to change his way of life at once. He will no longer be a blacksmith. He is to come with me to London. He is to be educated as a gentleman. He will be a man of property.’

And so, at last, my dream had come true. Miss Havisham----because Mr. Jaggers’ client must be Miss Havisham----had plans for me after all. I would be rich and Estella would love me! Mr. Jaggers was speaking again. ‘There are two conditions,’ he said, looking at me. ‘First, you will always be known as Pip. Secondly,’ Mr. Jaggers continued, ‘the name of your benefactor is to be

kept secret. One day, that person will speak to you, face to face. Until then, you must not ask any questions. You must never try to find out this person’s name. Do you understand? Speak out!’ ‘Yes, I understand,’ I answered. ‘My benefactor’s name is to remain a secret.’

‘Good,’ Mr. Jaggers said. ‘Now, Pip, you will come into your property when you come of age----when you are twenty-one. Until then, I am your guardian. I have money to pay for your education and to allow you to live as a gentleman. You will have a private teacher. His name is Mr. Matthew Pocket and you will stay at his house.’

I gave a cry of surprise. Some of Miss Havisham’s relations were called Pocket. Mr. Jaggers raised his eyebrows.

‘Do you not want to live with Mr. Pocket? Have you any objection to this arrangement?’ he said severely.

‘No, no, none at all,’ I answered quickly.

‘Good. Then I will arrange everything,’ Mr. Jaggers went on. ‘Mr. Pocket’s son has rooms in London. I suggest you go there. Now when can you come to London?’ I looked at Joe.

‘At once, if Joe has no objection,’ I said. ‘No objection, Pip old chap,’ Joe answered.

‘Then you will come in one week’s time,’ Mr. Jaggers said, standing up. ‘You will need new clothes. Here is some money to pay for them. Twenty guineas.’ He counted the money and put it on the table.

‘Well, Joe Gargery, you are saying nothing,’ Mr. Jaggers said to Joe firmly. ‘I have money to give to you too.’

7.The underlined word “apprentice” in paragraph 1 means ____________. A．a very good friend and companion

B．someone who has no money but is very skilled at their job C．a young person who is being trained for a particular job D．a person with no education living with another family

8.The author describes Mr. Jaggers as having ‘large, very clean white hands’ in order to ____________.

A．show how Pip recalls Mr Jaggers

B．provide a description of Mr. Jaggers to the readers only

C．indicate that Mr. Jaggers remains indoors a lot and doesn’t get much sun

D．show Mr Jaggers often washes his hands to rid himself of his own bad deeds as a lawyer 9.At the end of the passage above, Mr. Jaggers says he also has money to give Joe because ____________.

A．he believes he can also help Joe become a gentleman

B．he is repaying money loaned to Joe previously by the benefactor C．the secret benefactor wants Joe to be his personal blacksmith D．Joe will have to hire a new worker

10.Which of the following is not true according to the passage? A．Joe is happy that Pip will go to London.

B．Mr. Jaggers does not want other people to know he is a lawyer. C．Pip hopes Miss Havisham will help him become a gentleman D．Pip will become very rich when he comes of age. 【答案】 7.C 8.A 9.D 10.B

【解析】7.C apprentice为“学徒”的意思，因此选C。

8.A根据上文“I had seen him at Miss Havisham’s many years before. He had frightened me then.”可知作者回忆起来以前见过Mr. Jaggers

9.D根据文章意思可排除A,B,C三项，因此选D。

10.B本题选不正确的一项。A可以由‘No objection, Pip old chap,’ Joe answered.判断是正确的。C“‘No, no, none at all,’ I answered quickly.”由此句可知C选项正确。

D、‘Now, Pip, you will come into your property when you come of age----when you are twenty-one.由此句可知。因此本题选B。

University is generally regarded as one of the most important times in a person’s life, yet the function of this institution continues to arouse debate. Many believe that arts subjects are too easy, that practical skills are more useful and that a chosen subject for study should be clearly linked to a career. However, this view is far too simplistic. Arts subjects are very difficult. They can prepare students for any number of careers as well as allowing the student to take time to make a decision. The function of the modern university is to cater to different types of student.

Arts subjects are not easy. For example, a degree in Literature is not an easy option. No question in a Literature class has a single, simple answer. Debate is conducted in a spirit of openness, texts are very closely analyzed and skills in close reading are developed. Literature is about language, our primary means of communication. Arts subjects require the same concentrated study as any other subject.

Arts subjects can prepare students for any number of careers. A degree in an arts subject teaches skills in well organized debates and defence of a position through the provision of evidence. These are applicable to many types of career. Law, for example. The point is that an undergraduate

degree in any Arts subject trains the student in analysis and structure. Therefore, Arts graduates can pursue any number of careers.

Arts subjects allow the student to take time to choose a career. Love of the subject for its own sake may well be the initial motivation for the Arts undergraduate but because the subject they have chosen is not so clearly linked to a career they have time to reflect, making a decision only when they are absolutely certain. Students who pursue Arts subjects therefore have the leisure to make a carefully considered choice.

In conclusion, it is clear that Arts subjects are not a waste of time. They are flexible when it comes to relating them to a career and they allow the student to discover an appropriate career path. Many industries now acknowledge that a degree in Literature can be just as valuable as any other subject, especially when it is evident that Arts graduates tend to think more creatively. Not all undergraduates have clearly defined goals and not all subjects can be simply matched to a career. Acknowledging this difference should be the main function of a modern university 11. What does the author mainly argue in this article? A．Universities should be aware of diversity B．Universities should focus on practical courses. C．Arts courses should be promoted. D．Arts subjects are inappropriate for work.

12.What does the author imply about universities’ attitude to students? A．They need to be more understanding of students’ needs. B．They need to keep out arts students. C．They need to link courses to careers. D．They need to offer more arts courses.

13.The author suggests that technical subjects ____________. A．are more important than arts subjects. B．are more useful to the modern world. C．have equal value to arts subjects. D．are not as important as arts subjects.

14.From the article, we know skills acquired by arts undergraduates include___________. A．Perception and investigation B．Technique and motivation C．Appreciation and dedication D．Analysis and structure

15.According to the author, the students choose arts courses initially because ___________.

A．they are unsure about a career B．they are interested in the subject C．they hate technical subjects D．they are creative people 【答案】 11.A 12.A 13.C 14.D 15.B 【解析】

11.通过第一段及下文描述可知作者主要是想说明大学应该多样化。故选A。

12.根据The function of the modern university is to cater to different types of student.现代大学的功能更应该迎合不同类型的学生。可知选A，他们需要更加了解学生们的需要。

13.根据Arts subjects require the same concentrated study as any other subject.及下文描述可知作者认为文科同其他学科有一样的价值。故选C。

14.根据Law, for example. The point is that an undergraduate degree in any Arts subject trains the student in analysis and structure.及上下文描述可知艺校毕业生要求掌握的技能有分析与建筑知识。故选D。

15.根据Love of the subject for its own sake may well be the initial motivation for the Arts undergraduate 可知学生们选择艺术学科主要是出于兴趣。故选B。 四、阅读填空

1.请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。 Enjoy English Books on Vacation

Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. Instead, they’re a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book. The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey or while you’re hanging out with the family.

Before getting into the recommendations, we need to determine your English reading

comprehension level so you don’t pick a book which is so challenging that it’s stressful or so simple that it’s boring.

If you’re at the beginner level, there are two options: reading a children’s book or reading a book that you’ve read in Chinese translation. This will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since you’re already familiar with the story. If you’re at the intermediate level, popular books like

pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options, as they’ll be guaranteed page turners and that will increase the possibility of your getting all the way through the book. For advanced readers, classic works of literature or modern prize winners （Booker, Nobel, Pulitzer） are good options. The most important thing is to pick a book that you’re really interested in. When I pick up a new book in Chinese, the first few chapters are always really hard to get through, as I have to get accustomed to the way the individual author uses the language. But after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story. Some of my favorite Chinese-language eye candy are books that are series like Brothers by Yu Hua or The Dancer by Hai Yan. I like them because there’s always a lot of action and story development to keep me involved, which helps me make it through those first few chapters.

Another great way to keep yourself motivated over the holiday is to find a friend who’s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve and discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail. I’m currently doing that with my friend Laura. We’ve been doing this since we were classmates in Chinese at college.

Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by US writer Michael Crichton or British writer Agatha Christie; and if you like horror, US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. But really you should just find a topic or author that you’re interested in, and the rest will go from there. Happy reading! （1）▲ Theme （2）▲ of proper books Enjoy English books on vacation Find a good book to read on your journey to a distant place or while spending time with your family. ●Beginners may pick a children’s book or a book whose story is （3） ▲ to them. ●Intermediate-level readers will find it (4) ▲ to read popular books from cover to cover. ●Advanced readers may feel classic works of literature or modern prize winners（5）▲ for their level.

Nowadays, with the growing popularity of computers, teachers, students and their parents are paying less and less attention to handwriting.

_________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Nowadays, with the growing popularity of computers, teachers, students and their parents are paying less and less attention to handwriting.

A recent survey has asked a number of middle school students on what they think about their handwriting skills. A surprising number of students, 85.8 percent, admit that the quality of their handwriting is poor.
