There lived the sage(圣人) that he was loo

11、king for.With considerable patience, the sage listened attentively to the reason for the boys visit, but told him that at that moment he did not have time to explain to him the secret of happiness.He suggested that the young man take a walk around his palace and come back in two hours time. “However

12、, I want to ask you a favor,” he added, banding the boy a teaspoon, in which he poured two drops of oil. “While you walk, carry this spoon and dont let the oil spill.”The young man began to climb up and down the palace staircases, always keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. At the end of two hours h

13、e returned to the presence of the wise man.“So,” asked the sage, “did you see the Persian tapestries(掛毯)hanging in my dining room? Did you see the fantastic garden that the Master of Gardeners spent ten years in creating?”Embarrassed, the young man admitted that he had seen nothing.“So, go back and

14、see the wonders of my world,” said the wise man. “You cant trust a man if you dont know his house.”Now more at ease, the young man took the spoon and wandered again through the palace, this time paying attention to all the works of art that hung from the ceilings and walls. He saw the gardens, the m

15、ountains all around the palace, and the delicacy of the flowers. Returning to the sage, he reported in detail what he had seen.“But where are the two drops of oil that I entrusted to you?” asked the Sage.Looking down at the spoon, the young man realized that he had spilled the oil.“Well, that is the

16、 only advice I have to give you,” said the sage. “The secret of happiness lies in looking at all the wonders of the world and never forgetting the two drops of oil in the spoon.”1、What was the intention of the young man to travel to look for the sage?ATo appreciate the most beautiful scenery along t

17、he way.BTo experience adventures of the outside world.CTo learn the secret of happiness from the wisest man.DTo figure out whether the sage was knowledgeable or not.2、Which of the following statements is wrong?AThe sage listened to the young man with patience.BThe young man made it as the sage had e

18、xpected.CDuring his second round of wandering, the young man appreciated the wonders of the castle.DThe young man was too concerned about the oil when he first went around the castle.3、Why did the sage ask the young man to go around his castle with a spoon of two drops of oil?ABecause he wanted to f

19、ind out whether the young man was perseverant(堅持不懈的)in accomplishing his goals.BBecause he intended to let the young man know that happiness came at a price.CBecause he wanted to help the young man to uncover the secret of happiness in an indirect way.DBecause he wanted to let the young man trust hi

21、ent.22（8分）As the morning school bell rings and students rush in, teenagers in one classroom settle onto mats and meditation（冥想）pillows. They fall silent after the teacher taps a “singing bow”.These students are in a for-credit, year-long mindfulness class, which is meant to ease youth anxiety and de

22、pression and to prevent violence. For 90 minutes, three days a week, they practice a mix of yoga, sitting, and walking meditation, deep breathing, journaling, and non-judgmental listening.Yoga and meditation have gained popularity among Americans in recent decades，supported by studies showing benefi

23、ts to emotional, mental, and physical health. The centuries-old practices have roots in eastern religions, but Western culture has long focused on physical postures, breathing, and relaxation techniques.Some people have greeted the move with less than enthusiasm. Last year, an elementary school in O

24、hio ended its mindfulness program after parents complained it was too closely linked to religion. But many school districts are reporting success. In Richmond, California, schools have reported drops in school problems among low-income, at-risk youths. The school district in South Burlington, Vermon

25、t, introduced a successful mindfulness course as part of a health and wellness program, and now administrators there have advocated mindfulness into K-12 curriculums.Two years ago, Caverly Morgan developed the after-school mindfulness program teamed up with Allyson Copacino，who teaches yoga. After h

26、undreds of students signed up, Principal Brian Chatard took note. The school was dealing with a students suicide, and few resources were available to address students emotional and mental health.“High school is the hardest period of time for kids,” Mr. Chatard said. “Youve got emotional changes, phy

27、sical changes, and all the social pressures. Its also the onset of mental illness for some kids, depression hits, and theres the pressure of college and sports. All these things kids do is overwhelming without having a strategy (策略）to deal with it.” And now schools all over the country are introduci

30、ed a recommendation about how much juice children should consume. In general, the recommendations might be less than what you are currently giving your child.An AAP policy statement issued in 2001 recommended no juice for children younger than 6 months of age, 4-6 ounces of juice daily for children

31、aged 1-6, and 8-12 ounces for children 7 or older.Those recommendations have now been revised partly due to considerable concern about increasing weight and teeth problems.The new AAP recommendation is that fruit juice should not be provided at all to children under I year of age, instead; water and

32、 cows milk are preferred as primary liquid sources for children after weaning (斷奶).The new recommendations also lower the amount of juice for older children. Children aged 1-3 can have 4 ounces of 100% juice daily, children aged 4-6 4 to 6 ounces, and children 7 or older 8 ounces.The AAP says there

33、is no role for juice during the first year of life, and that expensive juice products designed specially for infants (new-born babies) are not of value. They note that juice should not be given as a means of soothing an upset child.This doesnt mean that the AAP is against fruit. In fact, they recomm

34、end that whole fruit be provided and encouraged for children.One big advantage of whole fruit is that whole fruit contains fiber. It also contains some protein.Children aged 4-6 should be offered fruit that has a lot of fiber, such as apples, pears, berries, or oranges. They can also have juice that

35、 has fiber in it. Children 7 and older should get a total of 2 to 2 1/2 servings of fruit per day.1、Which of the following words can replace “soothing” in paragraph 6?AAnnoying.BCalming.CRefreshing.DTeasing.2、What may account for the AAPs issuing the new recommendation?APeoples health is put at risk

36、 from taking too much juice.BJuice products are proved of little value.CWhole fruit is gaining popularity among kids.DNone of the above.3、We know from the passage that _.Awater and cows milk are a better choice for infants health than juice.Bjuice contains more nutrients necessary for health than wh

37、ole fruit.Cthe more expensive juice products are, the more value they have.Dthe earlier children take juice in their first year, the healthier theyll become.4、What is the passage mainly about?AAdvantages of whole fruit over juice.BHarm done to children who take juiceCThe amout of juice children can

38、takeDThe time when children can take juice.24（8分） Today the Nobel Prize in Literature awarded journalist Svetlana Alexievich approximately $970,000 in recognition of a lifetime of excellence. The 67-year-old author of Voices From Chernobyl and Wars Unwomanly Face was praised by the Swedish Academy “

39、for her polyphonic(復調式的) writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time.”Prizes like the Nobel inspire much expectations before the announcement. People give their best guesses as to who will win, look back on past winners, and even place bets as if spectators at a Derby(賽馬會).Literary pri

40、zes reward artistic brilliance. They help writers earn a decent living. But is the publics fascination with prize-winning authors healthy? Our impulse seems to increasingly contribute to a culture of turning authors into celebrities, where readers follow the author instead of the book.A story should

41、 stand on its own, as a considered, complete book, without biographical information from author. Its an idea perhaps best conveyed in Roland Barthess 1968 essay The Death of the Author. “The image of literature to be found in contemporary culture is arbitrarily centered on the author, his person, hi

42、s history, his tastes, his passions.”Nearly 50 years later, a few still agree. “I believe that books, once they are written, have no need of their authors,” New York Times bestselling author Elena Ferrante once wrote. “If books have something to say, they will sooner or later find readers; if not, t

43、hey wont,”she continued. “True miracles are the ones whose makers will never be known.”But the rules for submission for the Man Booker International Prize, for example, strongly encourage authors to “make themselves available for publicity”. And the foundation behind the National Book Award requires

44、 finalists to participate in their “website-related publicity”. In 2007, a reporter who showed up uninvited at Doris Lessings house was the first to inform her that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Today the Twitterati came knocking on Alexievichs digital door hour before the awar

45、d was even official. To be considered for a prize is to be a public figure. Harry Potter series author J. K. Rowling, with over 5.6 million Twitter followers, has actively addressed readers through public appearances and social media, revealing much more than we could have imagined when we closed th

46、e final Harry Potter book. We now know the house Harrys children will be sorted into, that Dumbledore is gay,“Voldemort” is actually pronounced with a silent “t”, and a whole host of the other minor and major details about the backstory of the characters.The magical world Rowling created in her book

47、sa relatively tight mystery with well-laid clues that led to a satisfying conclusion, which had to prove their merits to the reader based on an internal logicis being unraveled by her own hand. Of course, public attention also has very important benefits for authors. For three months after receiving

48、 the 2011 Pulitzer Prize in fiction, Jennifer Egans A Visit from the Goon Squad sold about triple its print sales from before the prize, Publishers Weekly reports. On Oct. 5, 2010, in the first FT/Oppenheimer Funds Emerging Voices Awards, as Nigerian-born Chigozie Obioma accepted the prize for ficti

49、on with an easy smile, his excitement was appreciable. Given the cash prize of $40,000 for each winner, its hard to downplay the importance of such an honor. Such awards bring necessary visibility and funding to writers facing a literary landscape dominated by white men.But our culture of celebrity

50、is often too wrapped up in the way we read: How might the meaning of a work change if the author really didnt grow up in a poor neighborhood, or if he or she was abused in childhood? Readers studied the authors life as if it were the key to interpreting his or her novels.Behind our fascination is th

51、e question that drives all such questions: What did the author intend? By all means, let us praise brilliant work and in doing so trust that the author has already told us enough, and that the story he or she meant to tell ended with the final page.1、What can we learn from the passage?APeople wait f

52、or the Nobel Prize announcement calmly and patiently.BRoland Barthes thinks it necessary to read literature centered on authors.CElena Ferrante holds that books should be read independently of authors life.DThe Man Booker International Prize discourages authors from publicity.2、What does the underli
