Books That Shaped America
Huckleberry Finn
Novelist Ernest Hemingway famously said, “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called ‘Huckleberry Finn.’ ... All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.” During their trip down the Mississippi on a raft, Twain describes in a satirical (嘲讽的) and humorous way Huck and Jim's encounters with hypocrisy, racism, violence and other evils of American society. His use in serious literature of a lively, simple American language full of dialect and informal spoken expressions paved the way for many later writers, including Hemingway and William Faulkner.
Gone with the Wind
The most popular romance novel of all time was the basis for the most popular movie of all time (in today's dollars). Margaret Mitchell's book, Gone with the Wind, set in the South during the Civil War, won both the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award, and it remains popular, despite charges that its author had a blind eye regarding the horrors of slavery.
Leaves of Grass
The publication of the first slim edition of Walt Whitman's “Leaves of Grass” in 1855 was the first appearance of a masterpiece that shifted the course of American literary history. Refreshing and bold in both theme and style, the book experienced many revisions during Whitman's lifetime. Over almost 40 years Whitman produced multiple editions of “Leaves of Grass”， shaping the book into an ever transforming kaleidoscope (千变万化) of poems. By his death in 1892, “Leaves” was a thick summary that represented Whitman's view of America over nearly the entire last half of the 19th century. Among the collection's best known poems are “I Sing the Body Electric”， “Song of Myself”， and “O Captain! My Captain！” in praise of Abraham Lincoln.
The American Woman's Home
This classic domestic guide, The American Woman's Home, by sisters Catharine E. Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe is dedicated to “the women of America, in whose hands rest the real fates of the Republic.” It includes chapters on healthful cookery, home decoration, exercise, cleanliness, good air ventilation (通风方法) and heat, etiquette, sewing, gardening and care of children, the sick, the aged and domestic animals. Intended to elevate the “woman's sphere” of household management to a respectable profession based on scientific principles, it became the standard domestic handbook.

Avi Wortis, known simply as Avi, writes historical novels. Historical novels mix historical facts with story telling skills. These stories take place in the past. The main characters are not always real; they exist only in stories.
Avi decided to become a writer when he was a student in senior high school. This was quite a decision because he did not write well in school. He had a problem called dysgraphia, a writing disability. The problem caused people to spell words wrongly. Avi always enjoyed reading. He read many types of books as a child. Avi believed that reading is the most important activity for a person who wants to be a writer.
Avi also believes that strong characters make strong stories. He creates characters that can help to bring his ideas to life. His books often deal with questions about life. Writing stories lets him explore many sides of a subject. His favorite part is to make improvements in his writing. For him the hardest part is writing the first draft (草稿)．
Avi's first book was published in 1970. He has since written more than 45 books. Most of them are for young adult readers.

Christmas is just nine weeks away. It isn't long before many of us practice our fake smiles when we don't quite like a gift. As for a question on the Internet, there are many different funny answers about the disappointing gifts.
One man said that his mother in law was quite angry. Because he wasn't happy when she gifted him his own socks. “The first time I ever met my future mother in law was at Christmas. She went into my travel bag and took out a pair of my own socks, and then presented it to me as a Christmas gift. I guessed it was a joke and laughed. She was angry because I didn't enjoy her love.”
Another one said, “The surprising gift is from my aunt and uncle, a DS| 5 gift card to Best Buy. I didn't even know where they got that small of denomination (面额). Later I knew it was a $20 and they spent it down to about $4.83.”
Some gifts weren't worth mentioning, while others were completely not suitable to be sent. But many of us have had to pretend to show our thanks for them.
Another guy shared the story of family favoritism (偏袒). “When I was in high school, my step brothers and I sat down to open our Christmas gifts. They got new iPods, but I got a common MP3 player. You could imagine how I felt at that time.”
Justin shared his story. He used to be an alcoholic (酒精的) fan and often be drunk a few years ago. And his uncle gifted him a nice bottle of Scotch. He still has kept it. It reminds him never to go down that road again.

We can express feelings and send sounds and pictures on our smartphones today. We also communicate using programs like Skype and Face Time. We can't send tastes, scents or touch, of course. But scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for the smartphone to do just that. Adrian David Cheok, a professor at City University in London, wants people to experience communication using all of their senses.
To give users a sense of taste, researchers designed two silver electrodes (电极片) that are placed in the mouth with the tongue in between. A chemical process creates different tastes on the surface of the tongue. This chemical process sends signals that tell the brain that a person is tasting something. They have already created sour, salty, sweet and bitter tastes.
A device called “Scentee” permits users to have the sense of smell. Scentee is fixed in the smartphone and can release tiny clouds of scent (气味). Actually, an app (应用程序) in Scentee is connected with the Internet, which can tell what scent should be released. Scentee then releases a scent from the smartphone. Scentee holds about 100 different scents. It must be replaced when all the scents run out.
The sense of touch comes from a ring like device. It is connected wirelessly to the smartphone. The device sends a soft squeeze (挤压) when a person with the ring like device on the other end of a smartphone does the squeeze. “I can be in London and my friend can be in New York, and I can squeeze my finger and then he'll get a squeeze on his finger through the Internet. It's a way of touch communication with the smartphone.” Cheok says.
Cheok hopes that these devices will someday be seen in our daily life, not only in a science fiction film (科幻片)．
12．We can learn that the scientists in Britain are trying to ________.
A．make Skype and Face Time send sounds and pictures
B．develop programs which can express human feelings
C．invent smartphones that have feelings like humans
D．make it possible to communicate senses with smartphones
13．What do we know about Scentee
A．It must be replaced over a period of time.
B．It is an app that can control the smartphone.
C．It is a container with about 100 different tastes.
D．It sends signals that tell the brain to release a scent.
14．To send touch with the smartphone, people ________.
A．should stay far away from each other
B．put their fingers between two silver electrodes
C．must stay in places with an Internet connection
D．have to fix the ring like device in to the smartphone
15．Where is the passage most probably taken from

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
One of the toughest things to do when getting to know people professionally is remembering their names. And it's also an extremely useful skill to have in your daily life. __16__ Here are some tricks to remembering any name：
Ask for their business card.
When you meet someone in a working situation, ask for their business card. Write down a few notes about the person and his appearance so you can tell him from the other people you've met. __17__
__18__
At the end of your conversation, ask the person you're speaking with to repeat his name just to make sure you have it right. Hearing it once more will help you memorize it as well.
Visualize (视觉化) an image.
__19__ For example, if you meet a Catherine, then try to connect the image of a cat with her. That way, when you meet the woman again, the image of a cat will arise, and it will be easy to work out what her name is.
Inject it into conversation.
Say the person's name as often as you can during the conversation without getting him/her awkward. For example, inserting the name casually in sentences like “I really agree with you, John” or “__20__” will do wonders for memorizing names.
A．You can always turn to the card for help if you forget his or her name.

We can express feelings and send sounds and pictures on our smartphones today. We also communicate using programs like Skype and Face Time. We can't send tastes, scents or touch, of course. But scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for the smartphone to do just that. Adrian David Cheok, a professor at City University in London, wants people to experience communication using all of their senses.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
One of the toughest things to do when getting to know people professionally is remembering their names. And it's also an extremely useful skill to have in your daily life. __16__ Here are some tricks to remembering any name：
Ask for their business card.
When you meet someone in a working situation, ask for their business card. Write down a few notes about the person and his appearance so you can tell him from the other people you've met. __17__
__18__
At the end of your conversation, ask the person you're speaking with to repeat his name just to make sure you have it right. Hearing it once more will help you memorize it as well.
Visualize (视觉化) an image.
__19__ For example, if you meet a Catherine, then try to connect the image of a cat with her. That way, when you meet the woman again, the image of a cat will arise, and it will be easy to work out what her name is.
Inject it into conversation.
Say the person's name as often as you can during the conversation without getting him/her awkward. For example, inserting the name casually in sentences like “I really agree with you, John” or “__20__” will do wonders for memorizing names.
A．You can always turn to the card for help if you forget his or her name.
B．Attach an image to the name.
C．Repeat it in your mind.
D．Showing a stranger you remembered his/her name can leave a good impression.
E．John, how do you like living in the city
F．Create an attractive image.
G．Ask again.
16．选D 本空位于首段，总领全文。前两句讲记住别人的名字很重要。所以此空选D：向一个陌生人展示你记住了他/她的名字会留下一个好印象。
17．选A 根据关键词的原则，A项中的card与小标题Ask for their business card呼应。
18．选G 根据本节“ask the person you're speaking with to repeat his name”可知选G。
19．选B 本节小标题是：视觉化。所以此空选B：给这个名字配上插图。此题容易误选F，但是F项没有说明image和name的关系，所以还是B项合适。
20．选E E项中的John和前一句的John呼应，而且这两句话都是讲在对话中多多使用别人的名字。
