To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel by the US writer Harper Lee. The story is set in Maycomb, Alabama during the Depression. The narrator, six－year－old Scout Finch, lives with her older brother Jem and their widowed father Atticus，a middle－aged lawyer. Jem and Scout have a friend named Dill. The three children are terrified of, and interested in, their neighbour, Boo Radley. For many years, few have seen him. The children feed each other's imagination with rumours about his appearance and reasons for remaining hidden, and they imagine how to get him out of his house. One night, the three children run to Boo's house in order to see him. Unfortunately, Boo's brother discovers them and terrifies them away. After that, Jem keeps finding different little presents in a hole of a certain tree near his house and has no idea where they come from.
Atticus is appointed by the court to defend Tom Robinson，a black man who has been accused of raping a young white woman, Mayella Ewell. Although many of Maycomb's citizens don't agree, Atticus decides to try his best to defend Tom. Atticus proves that the accusers — Mayella and her father, Bob Ewell — are lying. Despite clear evidence of Tom's innocence(无罪), the court officially announces that Tom is guilty. Tom is shot and killed while trying to escape from prison.
Other children laugh at Jem and Scout for Atticus' actions，calling him a “nigger－lover”. Scout defends her father's honour by fighting even though he has told her not to.
Humiliated(使丢脸 ) by the trial, Bob Ewell decides to revenge(报仇). At Halloween night, Jem and Scout are caught by Bob Ewell in the woods and he wants to kill the two children. Someone comes to the children's rescue. The mysterious man carries them home，where Scout realizes that he is Boo Radley.

A
Perhaps only a small boy training to be a wizard at the Hogwarts school of magic could cast a spell so powerful as to create the biggest book launch ever. Wherever in the world the clock strikes midnight on June 20th，his followers will flock to get their paws on one of more than 10m copies of “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”. Bookshops will open in the middle of the night and delivery firms are drafting in extra staff and bigger trucks. Related toys, games, DVDs and other merchandise will be everywhere. There will be no escaping Pottermania.
Yet Mr. Potter's world is a curious one, in which things are often not what they appear. While an excitable media(hereby including The Economist, happy to support such a fine example of globalization)is helping to hype the launch of J．K. Rowling's fifth novel, about the most adventurous thing that the publishers (Scholastic in America and Britain's Bloomsbury in English elsewhere)have organized is a reading by Ms Rowling in London's Royal Albert Hall, to be broadcast as a live webcast. Hollywood, which owns everything else to do with Harry Potter, says it is doing even less. Incredible as it may seem，the guardians of the brand say that，to protect the Potter franchise, they are trying to maintain a low profile. Well, relatively low.
Ms Rowling signed a contract in 1998 with Warner Brothers，part of AOL Time Warner, giving the studio exclusive film, licensing and merchandising rights in return for what now appears to have been a steal: some $500 000. Warner licenses other firms to produce goods using Harry Potter characters or images, from which Ms Rowling gets a big enough cut that she is now wealthier than the queen — if you believe Britain's Sunday Times rich list. The process is self－generating：each book sets the stage for a film, which boosts book sales, which lifts sales of Potter products.
Globally，the first four Harry Potter books have sold some 200m copies in 55 languages; the two movies have grossed over $1.8 billion at the box office. This is a stunning success by any measure, especially as Ms Rowling has long demanded that Harry Potter should not be over commercialized. In line with her wishes，Warner says it is being extraordinarily careful, at least by Hollywood standards，about what it licenses and to whom. It imposed tough conditions on Coca Cola，insisting that no Harry Potter images should appear on cans, and is now in the process of making its licensing programme even more restrictive. Coke may soon be considered too mass market to carry the brand at all.
1．When the author says “there will be no escaping Pottermania”， he implies that ______.
A．Harry Potter's appeal for the readers is simply irresistible
B．it is somewhat irrational to be so crazy about the magic boy
C．craze about Harry Potter will not be over in the near future
D．Hogwarts school of magic will be the biggest attraction world over
2．Ms Rowling's reading in London's Royal Albert Hall is mentioned to show ______.
A．publishers are really adventurous in managing the Potter's business
B．businesses are actually more credible than media in Potter's world
C．the media are promoting Pottermania more actively than Hollywood
D．businesses involved with Potter are moving along in an unusual way
3．The author believes that ______.
A．Britain's Sunday Times rich list is not very convincing as it sounds
B．Time Warner's management of licenses is a bit over commercialized
C．other firms may produce goods using Harry Potter images at will
D．what Ms Rowling got in return for her offering to Warner is a real bargain
4．Paragraph 4 intends mainly to show Warner's ______.
A．determination to promote Potter
B．consistence in conducting business
C．high regard for Ms Rowling's request
D．careful restrictions on licensing to Coco－Cola
答案与解析：
1．解析：这是一道句意题。第一段描述了波特迷们的世界性狂热，由此可知A项为答案。

2．解析：这是一道例证题。文章说到Rowling应邀朗读一事是为了说明此次商家的行为不同往常，故此答案为B项。
答案：B
3．解析：这是一道作者观点题。依据第三段首句，可知答案为D项。
答案：D
4．解析：这是一道主旨题。段落的主要意思是华纳按Rowling的要求做了，严禁过分的商业化。故答案为C项。
答案：C
B
The seven Harry Potter novels are to be sold as e－books for the first time in October. Author J. K. Rowling announced the series would also be available as audio books through a new website，Pottermore.
The website will also feature new material which Rowling says she has been collecting for years. “This is such a great way to give something back to the fans who made Harry Potter such a huge success，” the author said.
The Harry Potter novels have sold more than 450 million copies through Bloomsbury in Britain, and Scholastic in the United States. However，the e－books, which will be available in several languages, will be published through Rowling's Pottermore Publishing, rather than her print publishers which do not own the digital rights.
Pottermore went live on 31 July, Harry Potter's birthday. Rowling told the BBC that the new material was being released online, rather than in a new book, because she did not have “a new story”．
“Most of this writing is material I generated(创作) while I was writing the books earlier，” she said. “It's background, and lots of details. Some of it is new stuff in reply to things fans have asked me over the years.”
The site, which Rowling said she had been working on for two years, promises to immerse(使沉浸于) users in the boy wizard's world, offering opportunities for computer gaming, social networking and an online store. One million users will be chosen to help develop the online world, before it is open to all users from October.
Rowling told reporters at the London Pottermore launch she had no intention of writing an eighth Harry Potter book.
5．What would be the best title for this text?
A．Harry Potter Series to Be Sold as E－books
B．J. K. Rowling to Create Even Brighter Future
C．Pottermore to Offer New Material to Users
D．The Online World to Take on a New Look
6．Which of the following is NOT included in J. K. Rowling's new material?
A．The details about Harry Potter novels.
B．The background of Harry Potter novels.
C．The plots of her future Harry Potter novels.
D．The answers to some questions from her fans.
7．The users can do all the following on the new website Pottermore EXCEPT ______.
A．make friends online B．do the shopping online
C．play computer games D．watch Harry Potter films
8．What can be inferred from the text?
A．More Harry Potter novels were sold in the US than in Britain.
B．Most of J. K. Rowling's new materials were written years ago.
C．J. K. Rowling will write a new Harry Potter novel in the future.
D．J. K. Rowling's e－books will be published by her print publishers.
答案与解析：
《哈利波特》系列小说电子书将于10月份首次在网上销售，同时，作者JK罗琳声称，将有很多她多年积累的关于《哈利波特》的珍贵材料也首次在网上披露。
5．解析：标题归纳题。本文是一篇新闻报道，主题在第一段，主要告诉我们《哈利波特》系列小说的电子书将于10月份首次在网上销售。故A项正确。
答案：A
6．解析：细节理解题。由第五段可知，在JK罗琳最新披露的材料中，包括有关《哈利波特》的背景、细节以及对粉丝一些问题的回答，但并未涉及她未来小说的情节。事实上，她也不打算再写新的《哈利波特》小说了。因此选择C项。
答案：C
7．解析：细节理解题。由倒数第二段可知，在新网站Pottermore提供的服务有“offering opportunities for computer gaming, social networking and an online store”，不包括观看《哈利波特》电影。因此D项正确。
答案：D
8．解析：推理判断题。由第五段的JK罗琳说的“Most of this writing is material I generated while I was writing the books earlier”，可以判断她最新披露的这些材料，都是几年前写《哈利波特》时创作的，故B项正确。A项无依据，C、D项与文章内容不符。
答案：B

He put the ring into his pocket and continued walking, when suddenly he saw a beautiful girl crying under a big tree. He approached the girl and asked, “Why are you crying so sadly？” The girl told him that she used to be a princess. A witch put a spell on her, so she was homeless. The kind man decided to help her. He learned that the witch had a magical club. Only when he got rid of it could he defeat the witch.
Having entered the castle, he put the ring on his finger. He walked freely, but nobody could see him. He looked around for the club and finally found it in a golden box and took it away in secret. On his way back the magical ring suddenly began to speak and told him, “Bury it under a big stone on the top of the East Mountain.” The man did as it said.
The man, together with the princess, went to the castle and controlled the witch. They got married and led a happy life.

Never give out identifying information such as Name, Home, Address, School Name，or Telephone Number in a public message such as at a chat room or on bulletin boards. Never send a person a picture of you without first checking with your parents.
Never reply to message or bulletin board items that are: Suggestive/Obscene(下流的)/Ready to fight/Express intention to hurt/Make you feel uncomfortable.

Tell your parents right away if you come across any information that makes you feel uncomfortable.
Never arrange a face?to?face meeting without telling your parents. If your parents agree to the meeting, make sure that you meet in a public place and have a parent with you. Since you can't hear the person，it would be easy for someone to misrepresent himself or herself. Thus someone who says that “She is a 12?year?old girl” could really be an old man.

According to the dictionary definition of “create”， ordinary people are creative every day. To create means “to bring into being，to cause to exist” — something each of us does daily.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sense to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal.
Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss. A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression, “There is nothing new under the sun. ” the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture，or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph. A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to apply them to achieve some new results. To think up a new concept is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day－to－day activities.
4．Which of the following activities is not a creative one according to the passage?
A．To prepare a meal.
B．To arrange the furniture in a peculiar way.
C．To buy some books from a bookstore.
D．To “write” a letter with the computer.
5．The author holds that ______.
A．creativity is of highly demand
B．creativity is connected with a deep insight to some extent
C．creativity is to create something new and concrete
D．to practice and practice is the only way to cultivate one's creativity
6．“There is nothing new under the sun. ”(Part 3)really implies that ______.
A．we can seldom create new things
B．a new thing is only a tale
C．a new thing can only be created at the basis of original things
D．we can scarcely see really new things in the world
7．The best title for this passage is ______.
A．How to Cultivate One's Creativity
B．What is Creativity
C．the Importance of Creativity
D．Creativity — a Not Faraway Thing
答案与解析：
4．解析：细节推理题。由第一段可知，创造力的含义是“使事物产生”“致使事物存在”。A项“做饭”具有创造性；B项为创造力第二方面详述中的例子，也是创造活动。C项只是一种简单的行为，不涉及创造性。D项也为创造性活动。
答案：C
5．解析：细节推理题。A项虽然被提及，但根据文章开头，可知平凡人每天都在创造。B项“创造力在一定程度上取决于非凡的洞察力”。由最后一段，可知这是一种“天赋”，故正确。选项C认为“创造力只体现在创造某些新的具体东西”，表述片面。根据“These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day－to－day activities.”可知D项“不断实践是培养创造力的唯一方面”，也是不全面的。
答案：B
6．解析：主旨大意题。题干是“任何新事物的产生都是建立在原有事物基础之上的”。据此，C项“只有在原有事物基础之上才能创造新事物”，是分析得出的结论。
答案：C
7．解析：主旨大意题。文章主旨是创造力的含义及其三个方面的表现。A项意为“如何培养创造力”，但文章在最后一段才提到了培养创造力三个方面的途径和要求。B项“什么是创造力”。C项“创造力的重要性”，文章没有提及。D项“创造力——并不遥远的事物”，只是在文章开头提到，中间涉及一点，也不确切。故B项为正确答案。
答案：B
C
If you look for a book as a present for a child, you will be spoiled for choice even in a year where there is no new Harry Potter. J. K Rowling's wizard is not alone: the past decade has been a harvest for good children's books, which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales of classics such as The Lord of the Rings.
Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics, in 1997, 23% said they didn't like reading at all. In 2003, 35% did. And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.
Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computer games. Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Gordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class. In his pre?budget report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.
Reading Recovery is aimed at six?year?olds, who receive four months of individual daily half?hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months' progress in just one year，whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months' progress, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.
International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well, but read less often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success. According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.
8. Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1?
A. Many children's books have been adapted from films.
B. Many high?quality children's books have been published.
C. The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films.
D. The sales of presents for children have increased.
9. Statistics suggested that______.
A. the number of top students increased with the use of computers
B. a decreasing number of children showed interest in reading
C. a minority of primary school children read properly
D. a large percentage of children read regularly
10. What do we know about Reading Recovery?
A. An evaluation of it will be made sometime this year.
B. Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking.
C. It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading.
D. Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.
11. The aim of this text would probably be______.
A. to overcome primary school pupils' reading difficulty
B. to encourage the publication of more children's books
C. to remind children of the importance of reading for fun
D. to introduce a way to improve early childhood reading
答案与解析：
8．解析：细节题。由文章第一段第二句“the past decade has been a harvest for good children's books(过去十年是孩子们书籍的大丰收)”得出答案。
答案：B
9．解析：推理题。由文章第二段的统计数字可得出答案。
答案：B
10．解析：推理题。由文章倒数第二段第二句“今年的评估报告表明仅在一年内从事这项工程的儿童就取得了20个月的进步，而类似的读者在未经帮助的情况下取得仅五个月的进步”可以得出答案。
答案：D
11．解析：主旨题。文章先讲孩子们有大量的优秀书籍可读，接下来讲学生的阅读兴趣却在下降，然后提出了一项针对此现象的工程，并重点讲其效果显著以及对今后的影响，从而我们可以得知文章的目的所在。
答案：D
D
(2013·山西阳泉高二检测)
I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here's what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(休闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It_is_so_easy_to_exist_instead_of_to_live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and tried to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion(激情) as it ought to be lived.
12. The best title for this passage probably is______.
A．Love your friends
B．Live a real life
C．Don't waste time
D．Be a good mother and wife
13. How did the author form her view of life?
A. Through social experience.
B. By learning from her friends.
C. Through an unfortunate experience.
D. From her children and husband.
14. By the underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live. ” in the fifth paragraph, the author really means that people tend to______.
A. make a living rather than live a real life
B. work rather than enjoy life
C. waste a lot in life
D. forget the most important lessons in life
15. What's the author's attitude toward work?
A. Do it well to serve others.
B. Earn enough money to make life better.
C. Try your best to get higher position and pay.
D. Don't let it affect your real life.
答案与解析：
12．解析：文章标题题。文章第三段为中心段，从Get a life. A real life及全文内容可推断出答案。
答案：B
13．解析：推断题。根据全文尤其是开头的两段和第五段可判断选项C正确。
答案：C
14．解析：句意理解题。根据exist(生存)和live(过生活)可知句子的意义为“只求生存而不是真正过生活，是何等容易”。
答案：A
15．解析：细节理解题。根据句子Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升)，the bigger paycheck, the larger house.可知作者对待工作的态度。
答案：D

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Just like the United States, Britain is divided into different areas. Britain is one of the most diverse nations in Europe. __16__ With such a various culture，adapting to it can be a challenge for anyone. Following these steps should be of great help to you.
__17__ Many of the long formed stereotypes(老套) simply have nothing to do with Britain today. Don't think that everyone enjoys drinking tea or beer. Abandoning some old ideas of people and culture will allow you to be more open－minded and easily get into the culture.
Understand the differences. Britain is made up of different regions that have their different traditions and languages. __18__
Get used to small spaces. The US is a huge country where people are used to bigger cars, houses and spaces. __19__ Houses, apartments and cars are all smaller than you are used to, so trying to become familiar with smaller areas is very necessary.
Be polite. Always apologize for knocking into someone, even if it was their fault. Respect people's personal space and always wait in line. Bill Brysons' book Notes from a small island is filled with many useful tips.
Accept the jokes. __20__ Kidding，teasing，or “taking the mick” are all ways to describe making fun of someone but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Playing tricks on someone is a common way to show affection. As Britons usually put it，“you never make fun of someone you don't like.”
A．Forget the stereotypes
B．Understanding different cultures will help you avoid making mistakes.
C．One of the most confusing aspects of British culture is humour.
D．It is separated from the European continent by the Channel.
E．It has over 250 different languages being spoken in London alone.
F．Unlike the US, Britain does not have the luxury of space.
G．Many people think it impolite to make fun of others.

What Will Life Be Like in the Future?
I often dream about the life in the future. What will it be like? Perhaps we will be able to live on the moon. And some will live under the sea. It will be very common to do shopping and see a doctor at home by Internet. There'll be many more kinds of TV programmes for us to choose from. More children will choose to study at home on the computer. Robots will do housework for you if we don't want to. We'll have healthier foods. Pollution will get controlled. Both water and the sky will become clearer. People will have more free time. They will be able to go to other stars on holiday. They will even live with people from other stars.
