一、阅读理解

A

THEN WE CAME TO THE END

Joshua Ferris

The first novel by American author Joshua Ferris was so different， because it is written in the second person; the group of odd （古怪的） office colleagues talk and act as a collective. It must have been hard to maintain， but Ferris does a great job. It is really a good novel set in boring office environments.

THE GRAPES OF WRATH

John Steinbeck

Obviously a classic and still popular， the themes of this novel are timeless and echo just us strongly today. Set during the Great Depression， the story follows a family of “Okies”—poor migrant farmers from Oklahoma—as they head west seeking work.

PROPERTY

Lionel Shriver

Short stories from one of our best contemporary writers. Exploring the theme of possessions and ownership from many angles， this is certainly one for Marie Kondo fans. I have long been interested in what it is about things that can hook some people. The drive to possess items that serve no obvious purpose is most appealing to me. Fine， if an item is something given to you by someone special. But if you take a look around you， some things are probably simply useless and unmemorable. Shriver’s book explores it better.

THE LOVE THAT I HAVE

James Maloney

This absorbing story is about Margot Baumann， who takes a job in a mail-room in what， as later becomes clear， is a concentration camp. The amazing thing is the perspective it gives of German life during World War Ⅱ. Of course not all Germans， probably the large majority， had any real idea of what was going on. Within Margot’s immediate circle you see the reactions among the German population to the rise and fall of their beloved—or hated Fuhrer （元首）， and nation.

William Butler Yeats， a most famous Irish writer， was born in Dublin on June 13， 1865. His childhood lacked the harmony （和睦） that was typical of a happy family. Later， Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact， he inherited （继承） excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature， particularly drama and poetry.

Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theater in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments， however， we’re not received favorably at the beginning. He didn’t lose heart， and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.

Compared with his dramatic works， Yeats’s poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love， nature， history， time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms， he brought modern sensibility （情感） to them. As his literary life progressed， his poetry grew finer and richer， which led him to worldwide recognition.

He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet， he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40， he would probably now be valued as a minor poet， for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats’s death in 1939， W. H. Auden wrote， among others， the following lines：

Earth， receive an honored guest：

William Yeats is laid to rest.

Let the Irish vessel lie

Emptied of its poetry.

4. Which of the following can best describe Yeats’s family？

A. It filled Yeats’s childhood with laughter.

B. It was shocked by Yeats’s choice.

C. It was a typically wealthy family.

D. It had an artistic atmosphere.

5. What do we know about Yeats’s life？

A. He founded the first Irish theater.

B. He stuck to modern forms in his poetry.

C. He was not favored by the public until 1923.

D. He began to produce his best works from 1915.

6. What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden’s lines？

A. Worry.    B. Pity.

C. Emptiness.   D. Respect.

7. What is the text mainly about？

A. Yeats’s literary achievements.

B. Yeats’s historical influence.

C. Yeats’s artistic ambition.

D. Yeats’s national honor.

C

We may be only three weeks into December， but artist Jonnie Hartman has been in the holiday spirit for months， designing and building the Grand America Holiday Window Stroll.

The goal with each window stroll is to create playful and uplifting displays， according to Hartman. “I really try to do something light-hearted， something whimsical， that is， something everyone can connect with and maybe not see every day in the real world，” Hartman said.

She designs all of the window displays by hand， starting with pencil sketches （素描）， then illustrating the designs on her computer and sending parts of the drawings to be printed. From there， Hartman works with a team of five people to build the displays， creating， sewing and embellishing （润色） many elements by hand.

However， a challenge Hartman has faced over the years as she has designed the displays is making sure all of the measurements are right for elements to fit inside the windows.

“When I was in college， I was an art major， and I thought， I don’t need math. I will never use it. I’m an artist， and guess what， it’s the most important thing that I use，” Hartman said. “If I don’t get that right， then the windows don’t fit， the pieces don’t come together and it just doesn’t work out.”

The holiday window stroll gives Hartman a special opportunity to hear feedback from those who observe her creations， which is something she doesn’t always get to experience with her other artworks. She said it’s fun to hear people’s reactions as they go through the holiday window stroll.

“It just makes me happy that I can kind of set the tone for peoples holiday season and just maybe bring a smile to their face，” Hartman said.

8. What word can replace the underlined word “whimsical” in Paragraph 2？

A. Serious.   B. Exciting.

C. Unusual.   D. Ordinary.

9. What challenges Hartman most in designing the displays？

A. To sew.   B. To fit.

C. To measure.   D. To draw.

10. What does Hartman think about math now？

A. It is too difficult for her.

B. She values it very much.

C. She still thinks it’s useless.

D. It’s not suitable for her to learn.

11. Why is the holiday window stroll special for Hartman？

A. It just can make her happy.

B. She has a chance to create by hand.

C. It can help improve her other artworks.

D. She can get some remarks from the viewers.

D

In fiction and literature， the canon is the collection of works considered representative of a period or genre. The collected works of William Shakespeare， for instance， would be part of the canon of Western literature.

The accepted body of work that includes the canon of Western literature has changed over the years. Some works become less proper in the canon as they’re replaced by more modern counterparts （对应物）. For instance， the works of Shakespeare and Chaucer are still considered significant. But lesser-known writers of the past， such as William Blake and Matthew Arnold， have faded in relevance， replaced by modern counterparts like Ernest Hemingway， Langston Hughes and Toni Morrison.

In religious terms， a canon is a standard of judgment. Sometimes within religious traditions， as views evolve or change， some formerly canonical texts become “apocryphal （伪经的）”， meaning outside the field of what’s considered representative. Some apocryphal works never won formal acceptance but are influential nevertheless. An example of an apocryphal text would be the Gospel of Mary a highly debatable text not widely recognized in the Church， but believed to be the words of one of Jesus closest companions.

Many teachers and schools rely on the canon to teach students about literature， so it’s necessary that it includes works that are representative of society， providing an introduction to a given point in time. This， of course， has led to many debates among literary scholars over the years， and arguments about which works are worthy of further examination and study are likely to continue as cultural standards and habits change and evolve.

By studying canonical works of the past， we can get a new appreciation for them in a modern perspective.

12. The canon refers to literary works that ___ .

A. are reprinted many times

B. has large groups of readers

C. has great social and economic value

D. are recognized as classics in one field

13. Why does the canon change over time？

A. New methods are used to evaluate works.

B. More works in the similar styles come out.

C. Works that are better valued may stand out.

D. People become less interested in old works.

14. Paragraph 3 suggests that the value of apocryphal works can be ___ .

A. high B. low

C. limited D. obvious

15. What can we learn from Paragraph 4？

A. Canon use can influence the education quality.

B. Today’s canon used for education is out of date.

C. Modern students are less familiar with canonical works.

D. Educators should improve children’s interest in learning.
