11、mall children. Money was always tight.It was Christmas, and although there wasnt money for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with parties and friends, drives downtown to see Christmas lights, special dinners, and by decorating our home. But the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christ

12、mas shopping at the mall. I have saved $120 for presents to be shared by all five of us. The big day arrived and we started out early. I gave each of the four kids a twenty-dollar bill and reminded them to look for gifts about four dollars each. Back in the car driving home, everyone was in high Chr

13、istmas spirits, but my younger daughter, Ginger, was unusually quiet. I noticed she had only one small, flat bag with her. I could see enough through the plastic bag to tell that she had bought candy bars fifty-cent candy bars! What did she do with that twenty-dollar bill I gave her? I wanted to yel

14、l at her, but I didnt say anything until we got home. I called her into my bedroom and asked her what she had done with the money. This is what she told me: “I was looking around, thinking of what to buy when I saw the little cards on one of the Salvation Armys Giving Trees. One of the cards for a l

15、ittle girl, four year old, and all she wanted for Christmas was a doll with clothes and a hairbrush. So I took the card off the tree and bought the doll and hairbrush for her and took it to Salvation Army booth. “I only had enough money left to buy candy bars for us” Ginger continued. “ But we have

16、so much and she doesnt have anything.” I never felt so rich as I did that day.BWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldnt take my eyes

17、off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk ne

18、xt delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to out house, for those times when it was

19、so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldnt freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production

20、of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back

21、porch （門廊）. Every so often my sons friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.24. Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer_.A. to show his magical power. B. to pay for the delivery C. to sat

22、isfy his curiosity. D. to please his mother. 25. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boys house?A. He wanted to have tea there. B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member. D. He was fully trusted by the family.26. Why does home milk deliver

23、y no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now. B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor. D. It is forbidden by law.27. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days. B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He missed it for

24、 his milk bottles. D. He planted flowers in it. CMark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel. And he surely deserves additional praise: the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of the literatu

25、re in the years before the Civil War. H. B. Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin is only the most famous example. These early stories dealt directly with slavery. With minor exceptions, Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely. He drew h

26、is readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.Again and again, in the postwar years, Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race. Consider the most controversial, at least today, of Twains novels, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Only a few books have been kicked off the shel

27、ves as often as Huckleberry Finn, Twains most widely read tale. Once upon a time, people hated the book because it struck them as rude. Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel “trash and suitable only for the slums (貧民窟).” More recently the book has been attacked beca

28、use of the character Jim, the escaped slave, and many occurences of the word nigger. (The term Nigger Jim, for which the novel is often severely criticized, never appears in it.)But the attacks were and are sillyand miss the point. The novel is strongly anti-slavery. Jims search through the slave st

29、ates for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic. As J. Chadwick has pointed out, the character of Jim was a first in American fictiona recognition that the slave had two personalities, “the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual: Jim, the f

30、ather and the man.”Was Twain a racist? Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln. If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the “wisdom” of the considered moral judgments of the present, we will find nothing but error. Lincoln, who believed the bla

31、ck man the inferior of the white, fought and won a war to free him. And Twain, raised in a slave state, briefly a soldier, and inventor of Jim, may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.28. How do Twa

32、ins novels on slavery differ from Stowes?A. Twain was more willing to deal with racism.B. Twains attack on racism was much less open.C. Twains themes seemed to agree with plots.D. Twain was openly concerned with racism.29. Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its _.A.

33、 target readers at the bottomB. anti-slavery attitudeC. rather impolite languageD. frequent use of “nigger”30. What best proves Twains anti-slavery stand according to the author?A. Jims search for his family was described in detail.B. The slaves voice was first heard in American novels.C. Jim grew u

34、p into a man and a father in the white culture.D. Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.31. What does the author mainly argue for?A. Twain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism.B. Twain was an admirable figure comparable to Abraham Lincoln.C. Twains works had b

35、een banned on unreasonable grounds.D. Twains works should be read from a historical point of view. DThe practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones, writing by hand has becom

36、e something of a nostalgic (懷舊的) skill. However, while todays educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successfulboth in school and in life.Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at t

37、he University of Washington, says its important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasksboth on a computer and by hand. The study, pu

38、blished in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a students writing skills and found that how well children spell i

39、s tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active, which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their m

40、ind first and then to transcribe(轉(zhuǎn)換) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “minds eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words dow

41、n and to correct them over time.“In our computer age, some people believe that we dont have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they wont have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among

42、the options given by the computer.”32. Berningers study published in 2009 _.A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.B. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.C. found that good essays are made up of long sentences.D. discussed the importance of wr

43、iting speed.33. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?A. Spelling improves ones memory of words. B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.34. What

44、does “minds eye” in paragraph 5 mean?A. Window.B. SoulC. Picture.D. Imagination.35. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?A. Computers can help people with their choice of words. B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.C. Handwriting still has a place in todays classrooms.D

45、. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.第二節(jié) （共5 小題；每小題2分， 滿分10分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Kids health: Four steps for fighting stressEverybody gets stressed from time to time.36Some ways of dealing with stress like screaming or hitting someone dont solve much.
