Ⅳ.阅读理解
Louise Gluck has been no stranger to awards over her long and storied career,since her first publication in 1968.In 1993,she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems,The Wild Iris.And on Oct 8 she became the 16th woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature with the Nobel prizes first awarded in 1901.
Gluck was honored for her unmistakable poetic voice that,with simple beauty,makes individual existence universal.Often said to be an autobiographical poet,drawing from the inner parts of her life,“Gluck is not to be regarded as a confessional (忏悔) poet.She seeks the universal,” Nobel Committee Chair Anders Olsson said in a statement.
Gluck,77,the author of 12 poetry collections,has been able to turn her life experiences into universal themes covering life,loss and isolation (孤独).Because of this,readers have often found her poetry to be “dark”.However,there is much more than darkness in her voice,as noted by Olsson.“It is direct and...also a voice full of humor,” he said.
For example,in her poem Snowdrops,she uses the coming of spring after winter to show rebirth of life after death.She leads readers down a depressing path only to reconnect with the light at the near end.At the conclusion of the poem,readers are left to feel the “cool wind of the new world” as they watch a new spring.This is often the case in Gluck’s poetry,being able to feel joy even after not having done so for a long time.
Although she’s already a well-known writer,experienced in exploring pain and healing (愈合),Gluck did feel honored to be given the famed Nobel award.However,when asked what the prize means to her,the lyric poet responded by saying,“It’s too new...I don’t know really what it means.” Her only hope is that she can preserve her daily life.
1.What do we know about Louise Gluck
A.She had her first collection published in 1993.
B.Her poems are based on life experiences.
C.The Wild Iris won her the Nobel Prize.
D.She is a successful confessional poet.
2.What does Olsson think of Gluck’s poems
A.They are too dark for readers.
B.They focus on individual existence.
C.They are frank and humorous in style.
D.They are mainly about human personality.
3.Why does the author mention Snowdrops in paragraph 4
A.To show the features of Gluck’s poetry.
B.To introduce the main plots of this poem.
C.To describe Gluck’s creativity in choosing themes.
D.To explain Gluck’s purpose in writing Snowdrops.
4.How does Gluck feel about winning the Nobel Prize
A.She is not qualified for the prize.
B.She can’t believe she got the prize.
C.It makes a difference as expected.
D.It may disturb her daily life.
Ⅴ.七选五
Swap,Don’t shop!
You keep hearing about recycling,right But it doesn’t end with bottles,cans,and paper.Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources(资源)to make,and buying loads of new clothing(or throwing out old clothing)is not healthy for the environment.So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you’re-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor 1 .It’s the best way to get rid of your used clothes,score clothes from your friends,and have a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes,the organization of the event,and,obviously,how much fun it has.It’s really easy to do!Here are a few pointers.
●Invite 5-10 people so you have a nice selection. 2 ,and there may not be enough things to choose from;more than that,and it becomes uncontrollable.
● 3 .They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home.
●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. 4 .Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on.One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.
●Set a starting time.Maybe you say “go”,or turn on a certain song,or whatever. 5 .And don’t forget to put out some cookies and fruits.Remember,it’s a party!
A.Less people than that
B.Hold a clothing swap
C.If two people are competing
D.Just keep music playing throughout
E.Donate whatever clothes are left over
F.Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G.Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition

Recently I graduated from high school,and as a gift I received a huge hunch of flowers,40 to be exact! I had so many that I didn’t know what to do with them.The next weekend my niece and nephew,Sue and Mike,aged 6 and 7,came and suddenly I had an idea.I might let them give out these flowers to people they met on the street,and in this way,they could learn how to be friendly to others.So,I told them about my plan and explained that these flowers would make people feel happy and smile.They loved the idea and were eager to have a try.So,at once we took every single flower and tied a smile card to it.We then went to the street with the flowers.
The first flower went to a policeman.As soon as she saw the policeman,my niece ran up to him and handed him a flower.His smile was so big,but hers was even bigger!
In no time,we neared the end of our flowers.It was lunch time and we went to Subway for lunch.There the kids gave a flower to the waitress,who was really excited to receive the flower.As we were eating our lunch,the waitress came up to the kids with two big chocolate cookies! She said the chocolate cookies were for them and that she really liked the flower! As they ate the cookies,my niece and nephew looked at me with the biggest smiles I had ever seen.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
With just one flower left,I said it should be given to the person who needed it most.
It turned out to be a great day for us.

With just one flower left,I said it should be given to the person who needed it most.Just then,my nephew caught sight of an old woman in a wheelchair nearby.“I think she’s the very person for the flower.She lives a hard life because of bad health.She needs smiles most,” said my nephew.With these words,my nephew,followed by my niece,took the flower up to her.You can imagine how happy the old woman looked! She smiled,and gave each of the kids a big kiss.
It turned out to be a great day for us.We spread a lot of smiles by giving out flowers,and received a lot of smiles in return.The flowers not only made us feel good about ourselves,but also made 40 other people feel happy.I feel there is nothing more enjoyable than being friendly to people.Meanwhile,the kids learned an important lesson in the process.In fact,they can’t wait until next time they have such a chance again.They want to give out more flowers!分层跟踪检测(二)Grammar and usage & Integrated skills

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
Go on a visit to a garden made by an artist and you will get a sense of that person and his inspirations.The choice of plants and landscaping reveals much about his life and what drove his creativity.
Giverny
Monet redirected a stream and dug a pond to create this fantastic landscape.The scene with its curved Japanese bridge was the subject of some of Monet’s best-known and most-loved paintings,and visitors can stand where he once did and try to see it through his eyes.
Caza Azul
Frida Kahlo was born and died in this garden.Local trees and plants sit beside Mexican folk works of art and an Aztec pyramid designed by her husband Diego Rivera.All of these elements reflect the character and style of this influential artist.
Little Sparta
Two hectares of exposed land were turned into an outdoor exhibition of 270 artworks by Ian Hamilton Finlay.He also built two temples from outbuildings and a pool with a fountain.It’s best to visit in June,July and August when trees and plants related to the work look their best.
Keeffe Museum
The modernist,Georgia O’Keeffe,installed large windows into the adobe(土坯) house where she lived and worked so that she could have a connection with the expansive landscape all around.She said that she was surprised to find “what a difference a garden can make in one’s life”.

I’ve been a youth group leader at my church for a number of years.A couple of times a year,we would perform (执行) kind acts for others.
One time,the group I am managing left notes on the windshields (挡风玻璃) of all of the cars in the visitors’ parking lot at the hospital.The hope was that someone who was sad after visiting a patient would feel better because of our notes.
We had spent the weekend at our church,with the kids writing messages on their notes,things like “Keep smiling” or “Have a nice day”.One girl drew pretty hearts on the corners of her notes.
After the kids left their notes on all those cars,the girl said to me,“We didn’t see one single person.How will we know that our notes work ” “We just have to trust that they did,” I said.Normally,the kids could see the people they were helping,and I could tell they felt unhappy at not being able to interact (互动) with people during this task.I wondered about it,too.
On Monday morning I was looking through my webpage and found a post by a friend of mine.She described a series of unpleasant things that had happened to her over the weekend.“But then,” she added,“I was hurrying to work this morning and stopped quickly in front of the bank to draw money.There,on the side of the ATM,was the nicest little note.It made my day.”She included a photo of the note.It was one of our notes.I recognised it immediately from the little heart on the corner.
I have no idea how that note traveled from the hospital across town to the bank,but I’m pretty sure that it must have encouraged some strangers.I smiled and couldn’t wait to share the post with the youth group.
4.Why did the author and her group leave notes in the visitors’ parking lot at the hospital
A.To give hope to the sick people.
B.To ask people to join their group.
C.To call on people to perform kind acts.
D.To make those sad hospital visitors happy.

D.By the place where it was found.
7.Why did the author want to share her friend’s post with her group

B.It would make her group famous.
C.It gave her some ideas.
D.It was very touching.

As the winter chill still lingers through early spring longing for warm days has sprung up everywhere.Before the flowers are in full blossom here is a collection of ancient Chinese poems picturing the revival of life during spring.The English translations used in this article are from Chinese translator Xu Yuanchong.
Spring Morning — by Meng Haoran(689—740) of the Tang Dynasty (618—907)
This spring morning in bed I’m lying.
Not to awake till birds are crying.
After one night of wind and showers.
How many are the fallen flowers!
Written in a Village South of the Capital—by Cui Hu (772—846) of the Tang Dynasty
In this house on this day last year a pink face vied
In beauty with the pink peach blossoms side by side.
I do not know today where the pink face has gone
In the vernal breeze still smile pink peach blossoms full-blown.
Happy Rain on a Spring Night(Excerpts)—by Du Fu (712—770) of the Tang Dynasty
Good rain knows its time right.It will fall when comes spring.
With wind it steals in night.Mute,it moistens each thing.
Dreaming of the Southern Shore—by Bai Juyi(772—846) of the Tang Dynasty
Fair Southern shore
With scenes I much adore.
At sunrise riverside flowers redder than fire
In spring green waves grow as blue as sapphire
Which I can’t but admire
Love Seeds—by Wang Wei (701—761) of the Tang Dynasty
Red berries grow in the southern land
How many load in spring the trees
Gather them till full is your hand
They would revive fond memories.

In science,a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related.A theory often involves an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could be produced.A good example of this is found in the kinetic molecular (分子运动) theory,in which gases are pictured as being made up of many small particles (微粒) that are in constant motion.
A useful theory,in addition to explaining past observations,helps to predict events that have not as yet been observed.After a theory has been publicized,scientists design experiments to test the theory.If observations confirm the scientists’ predictions,the theory is supported.If observations do not confirm the predictions,the scientists must search further.There the scientists must search further.There may be a fault in the experiment,or the theory may have to be revised or rejected.
Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and performing experiments.Facts by themselves are not science.As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare said,“Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks,but a collection of facts cannot be called science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house.”
Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a particular problem.After known facts have been gathered,the scientist comes to the part of the investigation that requires considerable imagination.Possible solutions to the problem are formulated (制定).These possible solutions are called hypotheses (假设).
In a way,any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown.It extends the scientist’s thinking beyond the known facts.The scientist plans experiments,performs calculations,and makes observations to test hypotheses.For without hypotheses,further investigation lacks purpose and direction.When hypotheses are confirmed,they are incorporated (合并) into theories.
4.According to Paragraph 2,a useful theory is one that helps scientists to .
A.observe events
B.make predictions
C.publicize new findings
D.find errors in past experiments
5.Which of the following statements is true according to paragraphs 3 and 4
A.Science is more than a collection of facts.
B.Hypotheses are made before an observed event.
C.Hypotheses are facts that are not proven to be true.
D.A scientist’s most difficult task is collecting information.
6.According to the last paragraph a major function of hypotheses is .
A.confirming known facts
B.linking together different theories
C.providing direction for scientific research
D.communicating a scientist’s thoughts to others
7.What may be the best title of this passage
A.Hypotheses
B.Observations
C.Scientific Theories
D.Creative Thinking
Ⅴ.七选五
On 19 April 1980,more than 50,000 Parisians marched through the streets to mourn (悼念) the loss of one of their own.Was it for a famous pop star,a beloved politician,or a hero from the world of sport No,it was for Jean-Paul Sartre,the French existential philosopher and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.In the United States,this of mass public display of sadness and affection is usually reserved for pop stars. 1
A culture can admire both the physical and intellectual (智力).The achievements of athletes inspire us to push the boundaries of what our bodies are capable of. 2 Both should make us try to be greater,stronger and smarter.
The problem is that when the average person sees an athlete perform an amazing feat (功绩),there is also the belief that they could do the same thing with enough training and practice.It seems to be within their grasp.Some people see intellectual feats,however,as beyond their understanding and therefore beyond their reach.Rather than struggle,they feel resentment (憎恨). 3 In the same way,intellectuals do not help their cause when they are dismissive (对……不屑一顾的) of pop culture and sports by dismissing popular achievements in those areas. 4 People are just more exposed to one or the other in their lives.Any attempt to use either as a means to imply superiority indicates lack of understanding of the purpose of culture.It is something that brings us close together by showing that we are all equal in our needs to love,be loved,and strive to be better tomorrow than we are today.We accomplish this by understanding that the elegant idea to a thinker is as inspiring as the slam dunk (灌篮) is to a sports fan. 5
A.Maybe it is time to rethink that priority.
B.Such anti-intellectualism leads to sickness,death and slows down society’s progress.
C.Equally,we can be inspired by the insights of our poets,philosophers and the scientists.
D.We should have a healthy attitude toward experts because they are not always right.
E.That makes us all realize that we have unexploited physical potential.
F.To dismiss either the athlete or the intellectual indicates someone not worthy of either.
G.Actually,neither high culture nor pop culture is a measure of intelligences.
