I returned to Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, after college graduation. I had been there before my mother became a minister. Two weeks later, I told my mother I was bored. She said, “Here’re the car keys. Go and buy some fruit.” _36_, I jumped into the car and speeded off. Seeing me or rather my

(第一节15小题

,第二节5小题,共40分)

A For the first time in modern history, less than half of the U.S. adult population now reads literature, according to a recent survey. Reading at Risk: A Survey of Literary Reading in America

presents a detailed review of the decline of reading’s role in the nation’s culture.

Reading at Risk is a survey of national fashion in adult literary reading. The data source for Reading at Risk

is as reliable and objective as any such survey can be. The key results of the survey are presented in the “Summary”, but the report can be further explained as: literary reading in America is not only declining rapidly among all groups, but the rate of decline has been speeded up, especially among the young. Reading at Risk merely shows a great cultural change that most Americans have already noted —

our society’s great turn to electronic media for entertainment and information. Reading a book requires a degree of active attention and devotion. Indeed, reading itself is a progressive skill that depends on years of education and practice. On the contrary, most electronic media such as television, recordings, and radio make fewer demands on their audiences, and indeed often require no more than passive participation. While oral culture has a rich reality and electronic media offer the considerable advantages of variety, print culture affords irreplaceable forms of focused attention and thought that make various communications and views possible. The decline in reading, therefore, equals a larger retreat (减少) from participation in public and cultural life. What is to be done? There is surely no single solution to the present problem, just as there is no single cause. The important thing now is to understand that America can no longer take active and devoted reading for granted. Reading is not a timeless, common ability. As more Americans lose this ability, our nation becomes less informed, active, and independent minded. These are not qualities that a free, 深圳实验学校高中部高三单元测试 第 5 页

共 11 页

inventive, or productive society can afford to lose. 56. The main purpose of the survey is to _____. A. focus on the role of electronic media and reading B. show that American young people read less and less C. give a report of the national fashion of literary reading D. review that less than half of the population now reads literature 57. According to the passage, reading _____. A. requires less attention and devotion

B. demands no more than passive participation C. limits various communications and views

D. means active participation in public and cultural life. 58. The underlined phrase “cultural change” in Paragraph 2 refers to the change _____.

A. from oral culture to electronic media

B. from print culture to electronic media

C. from electronic media to oral culture

D. from electronic mediate print culture 59. The author of the passage ______. A. misunderstands oral culture

B. doubts the results of the survey C. encourages the Americans to read more

D. agrees to the solution to the present problem in reading

B The discovery of a dwarfed (矮个的) “human being” who lived in Flores, Indonesia, up to 18,000 years ago is changing the way we think about the human family. This “Flores Human” was three foot tall and her brain was smaller man that of the average chimp (黑猩猩), yet she and her relatives apparently lived fully human lives. They seem to have made tools, worked together to find food and cook it, and perhaps even buried their dead with ceremony. It was a major surprise to find tools associated with the new human family member. The tools are like those formerly seen only with European fossils (化石) from our own species, Homo sapiens (智人), and the oldest of them were made 94,000 years ago. Homo sapiens is thought to have arrived in the island about 40,000 years ago, much too late to be responsible for the tools. If this tiny human made the tools, then the inside structure (结构) of its brain must have been more like our own than a chimp’s, despite being just a third the size of ours. This “new human” was suspected to be a dwarfed branch of Homo erectus (直立人). When creatures are separated in regions with rare resources but few enemies, being big is a disadvantage, and evolution tends to shrink them, a process known as island dwarfing. Could natural selection make a human smaller while keeping —

even improving —

mental ability? Quite possibly, believes Christopher Wills of the University of California. Has the “Flores Human” even shown the ability of language? “I find it difficult to imagine that people could make tools, use fire, and kill large animals without fairly advanced communication.” Wills says.

Did “Floras Human” possess the basic components of human culture — such as the burying of the dead with ceremony? Emiliano Bruner of the Italian Institute points out that Indonesia’s hot, wet environment is bad for fossilization. It is reasonable to assume, he says, that the 18,000-year-old bones of the most complete Flores woman were well-preserved because she was buried with special care. 60. According to the passage, “Flores Human” ____.

深圳实验学校高中部高三单元测试 第 6 页

A. lived a partly human life

B. was a branch of Homo sapiens C. used tools before Homo sapiens arrived

B. the language used by “Flores Human”

C. the evolution of “Flores Human”

D. the major surprising findings about “Flores Human”

62. According to the passage, it is believed that “Flores Human” _____ .

A. was dwarfed by its enemies

B. could use language C. left a lot of fossils in the hot and wet environment D. reached Flores 40,000 years ago

C The coyote (丛林狼), that clever animal of wide-open spaces, has come to the nation’s capital. In fact, coyotes have spread to every corner of the United States, changing their behaviors to fit new environments and causing researchers to deal with a troublesome new kind of creature: the city coyote. The coyote originally lived in the middle of the continent. One of its most obvious characters is its smartness, which has made the animal a notorious (臭名昭著的) pest. Hunters trapped, shot and poisoned more than a million coyotes in the 1900s. It’s still one of America’s most hunted animals. Yet the coyote has survived. How has the coyote shown this extraordinary ability? “I guess if you wanted to use one word, it’d be ‘plasticity’,” says Eric Gese, an expert at Utah State University. Coyotes can live alone, in pairs, or in large packs like wolves; hunt at night or during the day; occupy a small region or an area up to 40 square miles; and live on all sorts of food, from lizards (蜥蜴) and shoes, to ants and melons.

Unbelievably people helped coyotes increase when they killed most of the wolves in the United States. The spreading of coyotes into city areas, though, is recent. They travel at night, crossing sidewalks and bridges, running along roads and ducking into culverts (钻入涵洞) and underpasses. No one knows why coyotes are moving into cities, but experts explain that cleverer, more human-tolerant (不怕人的) coyotes are teaching urban survival skills to new generations. Occasionally, coyotes might attack human beings. There have been about 160 attacks on people in recent years. Therefore, people have been consistently told not to feed coyotes or leave pet food unsecured. That, plus a large trapping program in the neighborhood, has cut down on the coyote population. 63. The underlined word “plasticity” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.

A. the ability to fit the environment

B. notorious smartness C. hunting ability

D. being human-tolerant 64. The aim of the passage is to _____.

A. tell people how to fight against coyotes

B. tell us why the coyote is the most hunted animal C. supply the reason why the coyote is a kind of notorious pest D. explain how the coyote has spread to and survived in cities 65. According to the passage, coyotes _____. 深圳实验学校高中部高三单元测试 第 7 页

A. originally lived in the west of the continent

B. sleep during the day but look for food at night C. are teaching survival skills to their younger generations D. suffered a population decrease because people killed wolves

D Susan Sontag (1933 — 2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything — to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American cultural life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture. Seriousness was one of Sontag’s lifelong watchwords (格言), but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasures of pop culture. In ‘‘Notes on Camp”, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was men a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. ‘“Notes on Camp”, she wrote, represents “a victory of ‘form’ over ‘content’ ,‘beauty’

over ‘morals’”. By conviction (信念) she was a sensualist (感觉论者), but by nature she was a moralist (伦理论者), and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor

—

published in 1978, after she suffered cancer —

she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities (被压抑的个性), a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit. In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000. But it was as a tireless, all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame. “Sometimes,” she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending ... is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take it seriously too. 66. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means Sontag _____ . A. was a symbol of American cultural life

B. developed world literature, film and art C. published many essays about world culture D. kept pace with the newest development of world culture 67. She first won her name through _____ . A. her story of a Polish actress

B. her book Illness as Metaphor C. publishing essays in magazines like Partisan Review D. her explanation of a set of difficult understandings 68. According to the passage, Susan Sontag ______. A. was a sensualist as well as a moralist

B. looked down, upon the pop culture C. thought content was more important than form D. blamed the victim of cancer for being repressed 69. As for Susan Sontag’s lifelong habit, she ______. A. misunderstood the idea of seriousness

B. re-examined old positions C. argued for an openness to pop culture

D. preferred morals to beauty 70. Susan Sontag’s lasting fame was made upon _____ . A. a tireless, all-purpose cultural view

篇章结构

下面是一篇文章，请将标有A-F的段落插入文章中标号为1- 5的合适位置，使这篇文章意义完整，结构连贯；其中有一个段落是多余的。

When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, “Contact : The first four minutes”, he offers this advice to anyone interested in

starting new friendships: “Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. A lot of people’s whole lives would change if they did just

that.”

71

If anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much.

When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident.

72

On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. ___73_____.

Hearing such advice, one might say, “But I’m not a friendly, self-confident person. That’s not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to act that way.”

In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. “It is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one.”

But isn’t it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, “total honesty” is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a strangers. That is not the time to complain about one’s health or to mention faults one finds

in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one’s opinions and impressions.

74

For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later.

The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics.

75

A. In general, he says, “People like people who like themselves.”

B. Whatever the situation, one must still make that opening line, the "hello" and following sentence. Often the opener is most helpful and effective when it is directed at something common in the situation the two of you are in. C. You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has just met. He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room. D. It is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his own needs, fears, and hopes. E. Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends. 深圳实验学校高中部高三单元测试 第 9 页

F. In his opinion, success in life depends

mainly on how we get along with other people. That is at least as important as how much we know.
