Kazuo Ishiguro, who won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature, has a number of strings to his bow, or rather his guitar.The 64 year old is world famous as a writer of fiction, but his early dream was to be a great singer and songwriter, like 2016's winner, Bob Dylan.
As his name indicates, Ishiguro comes from a Japanese background, although he came to Britain from Japan at the age of 5 and is a British citizen who writes in English.He was educated at the University of East Anglia, a school that has become known for training writers.
Ishiguro's writing is highly self contained.This certainly gives his writing a quality in common with that of Jane Austen, an author to whom he is often compared.The best example of this is his novel The Remains of the Day, which later became a successful film.
The central character of the book is a butler (男管家) called Stevens.He is a loyal servant to an English lord, and a character who some people might call repressed.He misses out on affection and love because he will not admit his feelings to anyone.We have to read between the lines to uncover the “real” story, which isn't quite the one the butler is telling.Stevens finds it a challenge to communicate, and communication is often a theme in Ishiguro's novels.
In this author's works, there is a gap between our feelings and our ability to communicate them.The Nobel Committee stressed it when talking about Ishiguro's works: The writer has uncovered the abyss (深渊) beneath our unreal sense of connection with the world.
1．What did Ishiguro want to be in the beginning
A．A famous writer. B．A guitar player.
C．A second Bob Dylan. D．A singer and songwriter.
2．Why is the story not quite the one Stevens tells in The Remains of the Day
A．Because he is not allowed to tell the truth.
B．Because he misses out on what he desires.
C．Because he doesn't express himself truly.
D．Because he has low social status as a servant.
3．What does the underlined word “it” refer to
A．The author's sense of the world.
B．The theme of Ishiguro's works.
C．The reason for choosing the winner.
D．Our ability to communicate feelings.
B
he English are not often thought of as passionate people. It's often said that they are unemotional, or keep their emotions hidden. Emily Bronte's characters in Wuthering Heights (《呼啸山庄》)(1847) seem very un English then, since they are some of the most passionate in the literary history.
This story is set in the north of England where Bronte grew up with her two famous sisters, the well known Charlotte and the lesser known Anne.
Bronte presents this part of the world as a wild place, with few of the graces of civilization. Indeed, one of the novel's points is that nature can be as strong a force as civilization.
Wuthering Heights begins with a tale from the past.
We hear how Mr.Earnshaw, father to Catherine and Hindley, comes home one day from his travels with a child named Heathcliff. Heathcliff is loved by Earnshaw and liked by Catherine, but hated by Hindley, who is pushed aside by this “intruder (闯入者)”．
Catherine and Heathcliff form a passionate attachment (依恋). They are both wild and natural, much like the moor (荒野) they love to wander in. They are so close that Catherine declares herself to be Heathcliff's. If something comes to separate them, there will certainly be consequences.
What separates the two is Catherine's marriage to the very civilized and tame Edgar Linton from Thrushcross Grange. Catherine has fooled herself into thinking that she and Edgar are similar, and so she believes that he is better than Heathcliff. This belief, and Heathcliff's reaction to it, will cost Catherine her life.
The tormented (痛苦万分的) story of Heathcliff and Catherine then repeats itself in the next generation.
Wuthering Heights is a piece of romantic literature. The word “romantic” doesn't just mean that it is about love, but it is about love in the most wild and dangerous sense. This is the love that threatens what is apparently civilized.
This is a story about nature and culture, about how the world tries to civilize nature, but how nature always bites back. This, for sure, is why readers today still relate to the novel, just as they still relate to tales like Romeo and Juliet. Love can be a dangerous thing.
4．Wuthering Heights shows ________.
A．a part of very peaceful places
B．a part of graceful love
C．a part of graces of civilization
D．a romantic novel about wild and dangerous love
5．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A．Among the three sisters, Emily is the least famous.
B．Catherine likes Edgar Linton and marries him.
C．When Heathcliff comes to Mr. Earnshaw's house, he is welcomed by everyone.
D．Fortunately, the generation following Heathcliff and Catherine enjoys a love story with a happy ending.
6．What can we learn from the text
A．Heathcliff was brought up by Mr.Earnshaw.
B．Edgar Linton was an orphan.
C．Hindley liked Heathcliff.
D．Charlotte liked Heathcliff.

In 1871 my great grandfather Fong See, a peasant (农民) unable to read and write, left his village in southern China for Sacramento, California, in search of his father.At about the same time, Letticie Pruett's family crossed America and settled in Oregon.By the late 1890s, after years of hard work, Fong See owned a factory.Letticie had run away from home and ended up in Sacramento.She moved into Chinatown and begged Fong See for a job.He hired her.One thing led to another, and they decided to get married.
It was against the law in California for the Chinese to marry white people.It was also against the law for the Chinese to own property (财产) in California, and unlawful at the federal level for the Chinese to become American citizens.
But with a contract (契约) marriage drawn up by a lawyer, my great grandparents set out to achieve the American Dream.Fong See became the founder of Los Angeles Chinatown.He was the first Chinese in the U．S.to own a car.However, Fong See's four sons — all American born citizens — had to go to Mexico to get married.
I am only one eighth Chinese.It has been 130 years since my great great grandfather left China, and we have become educated, changed our way of dress and lost our accent.But there's a deep core (核心) that connects us to our peasant ancestors.
My daily life actions mirror what I experienced as a child.When my sons want comfort food, I cook them rice.When my younger son said proudly that he'd told his teacher to stop checking her e mail during class, I made him go back the next day with a gift of a perfect orange and an apology.
I do look different, and nothing will change that or people's reactions.On book tours, people will often ask frankly，“Why would you choose to be Chinese when you have all the privileges of being white？” Given my family and the era while I grew up, I don't think I had a choice.
Now intermarriage is common, and if you walk into a classroom today, it's impossible to tell a child's exact race (种族)．My own sons are only one sixteenth Chinese.I tell them it's up to them to choose their own identities.
7．According to Paragraph 1, Fong See ________.
A．met Letticie in Oregon
B．received little education
C．worked in Letticie's factory
D．went to America to make a living
8．We can learn from Paragraph 3 that ________.
A．Fong See's sons grew up in Mexico
B．Fong See achieved his American Dream
C．the Chinese didn't like the American accent
D．the Chinese were respected in Los Angeles
9．What can best describe the author's attitude toward her sons
A．Worried. B．Patient.
C．Cold. D．Strict.
10．It can be inferred from the text that the author ______.
A．tried to hide her identity
B．refused to take American citizenship
C．still thinks and behaves like a Chinese
D．wants her kids to cast off their Chinese origin

第二节：读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
My mother was a supporter of physical punishment, but for all her talking she has never spanked (打屁股) my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and me only once. Instead she found ways of punishment that left a more lasting memory than giving us a spanking. One of the most memorable of these occasions occurred when I was four.
In the early 70's my mother attended college during the day and I was in daycare. One day at daycare watched an extremely tired mother attempt to pick up her daughter. The little girl asked, “Momma, are we going to McDonald's for dinner？” The mother replied, “Honey, not tonight. Momma has to run a few errands (差事) and then we have to go home and cook dinner for Daddy.”“But I wanna go.” “Susie, I said not tonight. Maybe, if you are a good girl, we can go tomorrow.” Susie immediately dropped to the floor, kicking and screaming,_ “I want to go to McDonald's.”
No amount of pleading (恳求) or scolding,_her mother tried to stop Susie's tantrum (发脾气). Finally her mother gave in, “Okay, Susie, let's go to McDonald's.”Susie stopped yelling and smiling, she grabbed her mother's hand and they left. To say I was amazed would be inaccurate; I was delighted that anything I wanted could be had by throwing a tantrum.
That day my mother picked me up early from daycare because we were going to a store to purchase some Christmas items. I was excited by the lights and decorations, and as we walked through the toy section on the way to the_counter,_I saw a toy I had to have. It was a white and red telephone whose bells rang as it was pulled along on a string. Looking lovingly up at my mother I asked, “Mama, can I have that telephone？”
She replied, “Baby, not now, but if you are a good girl, maybe Santa will bring it to you.”“But Mama, I want that telephone right now.” Her eyes narrowed and her hand tightened on mine. “Becky,_you can't have that_telephone today, but if you misbehave, you can have a spanking.”

语篇解读：本文描述了2017年诺贝尔文学奖得主石黑一雄的写作风格：大多沉静克制，但在平静的表面下却隐藏着巨大的情感力量。
1．What did Ishiguro want to be in the beginning
A．A famous writer. B．A guitar player.
C．A second Bob Dylan. D．A singer and songwriter.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“but his early dream was to be a great singer and songwriter, like 2016's winner, Bob Dylan”可知，他早年的梦想是成为一位伟大的歌手和词曲作家，就像2016年的诺贝尔文学奖得主鲍勃·迪伦那样。
2．Why is the story not quite the one Stevens tells in The Remains of the Day
A．Because he is not allowed to tell the truth.
B．Because he misses out on what he desires.
C．Because he doesn't express himself truly.
D．Because he has low social status as a servant.
解析：选C 推理判断题。由第三段内容可知，石黑一雄的写作风格很克制，而他的小说The Remains of the Day是最佳范例；再根据第四段中的小说人物介绍“a character who some people might call repressed.He misses out on affection and love because he will not admit his feelings to anyone”可推知，The Remains of the Day的故事其实不像主人公Stevens讲述的那样，这是因为Stevens很克制，不会表达自己真实的情感。故选C项。
3．What does the underlined word “it” refer to
A．The author's sense of the world.
B．The theme of Ishiguro's works.
C．The reason for choosing the winner.
D．Our ability to communicate feelings.
解析：选B 代词指代题。根据第四段最后一句中的“communication is often a theme in Ishiguro's novels”可知，石黑一雄的小说常常以交流为主题；再根据最后一段开头对此的进一步解释和诺贝尔奖委员会对他作品的评价“The writer has uncovered the abyss (深渊) beneath our unreal sense of connection with the world.”可推知，在谈及石黑一雄的作品时，该委员会着重强调了他作品的主题。

he English are not often thought of as passionate people. It's often said that they are unemotional, or keep their emotions hidden. Emily Bronte's characters in Wuthering Heights (《呼啸山庄》)(1847) seem very un English then, since they are some of the most passionate in the literary history.
This story is set in the north of England where Bronte grew up with her two famous sisters, the well known Charlotte and the lesser known Anne.
Bronte presents this part of the world as a wild place, with few of the graces of civilization. Indeed, one of the novel's points is that nature can be as strong a force as civilization.
Wuthering Heights begins with a tale from the past.
We hear how Mr.Earnshaw, father to Catherine and Hindley, comes home one day from his travels with a child named Heathcliff. Heathcliff is loved by Earnshaw and liked by Catherine, but hated by Hindley, who is pushed aside by this “intruder (闯入者)”．
Catherine and Heathcliff form a passionate attachment (依恋). They are both wild and natural, much like the moor (荒野) they love to wander in. They are so close that Catherine declares herself to be Heathcliff's. If something comes to separate them, there will certainly be consequences.
What separates the two is Catherine's marriage to the very civilized and tame Edgar Linton from Thrushcross Grange. Catherine has fooled herself into thinking that she and Edgar are similar, and so she believes that he is better than Heathcliff. This belief, and Heathcliff's reaction to it, will cost Catherine her life.
The tormented (痛苦万分的) story of Heathcliff and Catherine then repeats itself in the next generation.
Wuthering Heights is a piece of romantic literature. The word “romantic” doesn't just mean that it is about love, but it is about love in the most wild and dangerous sense. This is the love that threatens what is apparently civilized.
This is a story about nature and culture, about how the world tries to civilize nature, but how nature always bites back. This, for sure, is why readers today still relate to the novel, just as they still relate to tales like Romeo and Juliet. Love can be a dangerous thing.
语篇解读：这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了艾米莉·勃朗特的小说《呼啸山庄》。该书通过两代人复杂的感情纠葛，呈现了人类与命运的艰难抗争。
4．Wuthering Heights shows ________.
A．a part of very peaceful places
B．a part of graceful love
C．a part of graces of civilization
D．a romantic novel about wild and dangerous love
解析：选D 细节理解题。从倒数第二段中的“Wuthering Heights is a piece of ... wild and dangerous sense”可知，答案选D。

D．Fortunately, the generation following Heathcliff and Catherine enjoys a love story with a happy ending.

36．of 考查介词。张家界包括永定区、慈利县和桑植县。of在此用于表示性质、组成或涵盖，意为“即，由……组成”。
37．was named 考查动词时态和语态。关系代词which指代先行词Wulingyuan Scenic Area，并在定语从句中充当主语，故谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式；由定语从句的时间状语in 1992可知，定语从句应使用一般过去时；关系代词which指代的先行词Wulingyuan Scenic Area与name之间为动宾关系，故应用被动语态。所以填was named。

43．which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处指代先行词12 state level tourist areas，且在定语从句中作介词of的宾语，故填which。
44．increasingly 考查副词。此处应用副词修饰形容词popular, increasingly表示“越来越多地，日益增加地”。
45．has been improving 考查时态。由于张家界长久以来不断地改善它的交通和服务，这个城市现在每天可以接待36 200名游客。根据时间状语for long可知，此处应用现在完成进行时表示过去开始的动作持续到现在并将继续下去。

第二节：读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
My mother was a supporter of physical punishment, but for all her talking she has never spanked (打屁股) my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and me only once. Instead she found ways of punishment that left a more lasting memory than giving us a spanking. One of the most memorable of these occasions occurred when I was four.
In the early 70's my mother attended college during the day and I was in daycare. One day at daycare watched an extremely tired mother attempt to pick up her daughter. The little girl asked, “Momma, are we going to McDonald's for dinner？” The mother replied, “Honey, not tonight. Momma has to run a few errands (差事) and then we have to go home and cook dinner for Daddy.”“But I wanna go.” “Susie, I said not tonight. Maybe, if you are a good girl, we can go tomorrow.” Susie immediately dropped to the floor, kicking and screaming,_ “I want to go to McDonald's.”
No amount of pleading (恳求) or scolding,_her mother tried to stop Susie's tantrum (发脾气). Finally her mother gave in, “Okay, Susie, let's go to McDonald's.”Susie stopped yelling and smiling, she grabbed her mother's hand and they left. To say I was amazed would be inaccurate; I was delighted that anything I wanted could be had by throwing a tantrum.
That day my mother picked me up early from daycare because we were going to a store to purchase some Christmas items. I was excited by the lights and decorations, and as we walked through the toy section on the way to the_counter,_I saw a toy I had to have. It was a white and red telephone whose bells rang as it was pulled along on a string. Looking lovingly up at my mother I asked, “Mama, can I have that telephone？”
She replied, “Baby, not now, but if you are a good girl, maybe Santa will bring it to you.”“But Mama, I want that telephone right now.” Her eyes narrowed and her hand tightened on mine. “Becky,_you can't have that_telephone today, but if you misbehave, you can have a spanking.”

2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

Paragraph 1：
By now we were standing in the long Holiday line to pay the bill, and I figured it was a good chance.
Paragraph 2：
“Mama, stop. Mama, get up，” I tearfully pleaded.
参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
By now we were standing in the long Holiday line to pay the bill, and I figure it was a good chance.I lay down on the ground and began screaming,_“I want that_telephone，” over and over again.Weary Christmas shoppers looked as my mother calmly said, “Becky,_you'd better get up by the count of three or else. One ...Two ...Three.” Nothing.I was still in full tantrum.So then she lay down beside me on the floor, and began kicking and screaming, “I want a new car, I want a new house. I want some jewelry, I want ...” Shocked, I stood up.
Paragraph 2：
“Mama, stop. Mama, get up，” I tearfully pleaded. She stood, and brushed herself off. At first stunned, the others waiting in line began to sporadically clap, and before I knew it they were cheering and laughing and patting my mother on her back. She blushed and took a little bow and the next thirty minutes in line was pure misery for me as various parents leaving the store, shake their heads at me and say with a smile, “Your mom got you good.I bet you'll never try that again.” And I didn't, because it left a lasting mental picture more effective than any physical mark.
