I first encuntered the classics at 19, when I studiedEnglish literature at university. But a lack f life
experience, cmbined with exams, essay deadlines and an bsessin (痴迷) with gd grades, left me little
time t truly cncentrate n them —— Middlemarch, ThePicture f Drian Gray, Pride and Prejudice,
Madame Bvary etc. I lved these bks, yet I never gt the chance t deeply engage with them.
Sme 40 years later, as an editr, it's nw my jb t figure ut what makes a bk tick r mre
ften,what it needs t make it tick. S, when a cwrker suggested we decnstruct classics t find their
“secret t lasting appeal”, I was intrigued. I decided t reread Middlemarch, which I had lved befre but
never fully grasped. I did hesitate a bit, thugh; culd I, with my attentin cnstantly distracted by
technlgy,handle its 900 pages f tiny print?
Nt wanting t hld back entirely, I tried the audibk instead. The audi's vivid delivery certainly
drew me in, but what truly tk me aback was the new understanding that came with age. Themes that felt
distant at 19 came int sharp fcus at 60: ideas f marriage, ambitin, and unmet expectatins that had
flwn ver my yunger head nw eched (回响) deeply within me. I als nticed striking similarities in
ther classic characters; Emma's desire fr an“ideal life” in Madame Bvary mirrrs the scial cmparisn
we see n scial media tday, and Drian Gray's bsessin with yuth in The Picture f Drian Gray
reflects ur selfie-bsessed culture.
Then came the real wrk: taking them apart t see why they' re classics. Sme were easy t
analyse,thers tricky, but we gave them the attentin they deserved —— mre than I ever culd at 19.
What struck me mst was that classics last nt fr their age, but fr capturing universal human truths;
desires, fears,and hpes that never fade. Rereading them isn't just abut revisiting ld tales; it recnnects us
t ur unchanging human nature, enriches ur understanding f time, and grws with us as we d.
24. What des the authr imply abut the classics in paragraph 1?
A. They were mainly fr academic success. B. They enriched the authr's experience.
C. They prved t difficult fr the authr. D. They failed t btain full appreciatin.
25. What des the underlined wrd“intrigued” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Hesitant. B. Interested. C. Refreshed. D. Puzzled.
26. Why des the authr mentin Emma and Drian Gray?
A. T shw classics' mdern relevance. B. T criticize current scial prblems.
C. T present impressive analytical skills. D. T highlight their lasting ppularity.
27. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Busy Yuth, Fading Truth B. Mdern Whisper f Audibks C. Changing Trend, Unchanging Insight D. Time's Ech f Literary Classics

It is widely acknwledged that crws(乌鸦)are highly intelligent with cgnitive abilities similar t
thse f 5- t 7- year- ld children. Past research has shwn that they can cunt t fur and distinguish
human vices and faces, and sme species can even create tls fr future use. Lately, a special study has
expanded this list further,revealing that crws can recgnize basic gemetric features, such as side lengths,
parallel lines, and right angles, and shapes like stars, crescents, squares, and irregular fur- sided figures.
With the purpse f testing the crws' gemetric skills, scientists shwed tw crws six shapes n a
digital screen and trained them t peck(啄 ) at the utlier—— the shape that lked different frm the
rest.When the birds chse crrectly, they were rewarded with a tasty snack. At first, the researchers made
the utlier bvius, such as ne flwer amng five crescents. As the birds gt used t the task, the shapes
became mre similar including squares and irregular fur- sided figures. Despite the increasing
difficulty,the crws cntinued t identify the utlier crrectly.
The shape recgnitin ability f crws remains a tpic f interest fr researchers. They suspect this
ability may help them with navigatin as they fly arund. The birds may have als develped this ability t
help them search fr fd r identify ther individual crws—— including ptential mates—— based n
their facial features.“All these abilities, at the end f the day, frm a bilgical pint f view, have evlved
because they prvide a survival advantage r a reprductive advantage,” says the study senir
authrAndreas Nieder, a neurphysilgist at the University f Tübingen in Germany.
In the future, researchers hpe t explre which areas f the birds' brains are respnsible fr their
exceptinal ability in gemetry. Birds dn't have a cerebral crtex(大脑皮层)—— at least, nt in the same
way that humans d. But fr us, that part f the brain is respnsible fr thinking and ther cmplex
functins. Crws still have these abilities, s the researchers assume there must be smething else ging n
inside their heads.“Obviusly, evlutin fund tw different ways f giving rise t behavirally flexible
animals,” Nieder says.
28. What des the recent study reveal abut crws? A. They can draw simple figures with tls. B. They can tell basic gemetric shapes apart. C. They can d pretty easy math calculatins. D. They can recgnize human vices and faces.
29. Hw did the researchers increase the difficulty f the shape- recgnitin task?
A. By shrtening the time t respnd. B. By presenting mre familiar shapes.
C. By shwing figures with different clrs. D. By enhancing the similarity amng shapes.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The rle f crws' gemetric ptential in navigatin.
B. Reasns fr crws t evlve shape identificatin abilities. C. The varius survival benefits f crws' cgnitive talents.
D. Advantages f crws' fd-searching skills ver ther birds. 31. What is the fllw-up step fr future study?
A. Examining crws' brain areas related t gemetric skills. B. Cmparing the cerebral crtex f humans and crws. C. Explring ther cmplex functins f crws' brains.
D. Studying the causes f crws’ flexible behavirs.

A few weeks ag, an article by Nathan Heller in The NeiYrker indicated“the end f the English majr”
, examining the trend f declining English department natinwide and the cultural factrs that lead students
away frm spending fur years with the passin fcDickens and Shakespeare. Like every ther
humanities-lver n a cllege campus that day, I was swep away in the mass panic. My majr was,
accrding t a reputable English-majr-lved publicatin, dead.
Heller fcused n Arizna State University (ASU) and Harvard University, large“indicatrs”(higher
educatin. I initially thught he ignred small liberal arts(文科) clleges, assuming English majr were safe
at Allegheny Cllege, where students suppsedly came fr the lve f learning, nt fr middl management
when they graduate. But data ruined this hpe: Allegheny had 84 English majrs (9% f al majrs) in the
spring semester f 2003, but just 20 (2.5%) nw —— a 72% drp in abut 20 years matching the natinal
trend.
Allegheny's website fuels ptimism, asking, “Why put yur mind t just ne thing?” and definin itself
as a“safe place f learning”, unlike ASU, which sees degrees as career stepping stnes, r Harvard where,
accrding t Heller, even an“unusual majr” finds wrk. Yet campus reality in Allegheny differsStudents
get lcked int majrs early, “mind ver majr” lses t clsed-ff departments, and Englis majrs fear
unemplyment, thinking they wasted time and mney.
We need t reject the campus“disease”, Heller nted —— pressuring students t chse“safeguard
paths and dismissing humanities as“hbby-based”. The well-knwn authr Kurt Vnnegut reminded u that
the arts may nt be the best way t“make a living” but“make life mre bearable” and“make sul grw”. Nt
everybdy can r shuld pursue a degree in chemistry, but it is increasingly clear t me tha everybdy
wuld benefit frm spending 20 credit hurs reading, thinking abut and discussing literature.While English
majrs may decline, their lessns live n. As the nvelist Jnathan Lethem wrte, “Time change and men
adapt.” Between“t bad” and“wrst”, we can d better.
32. What phenmenn did Heller pint ut abut English literature?
A. Students' fading lve fr it. B. Its limited research visins.
C. Students’ cnfusin abut it. D. Its declining literary wrks.
33. Why did the authr's hpe fr Allegheny Cllege fade?
A. It clsed mst liberal arts majrs. B. It valued career training mre.
C. It admitted fewer English majrs. D. It cared less abut students’ likes.
34. What can be inferred frm Allegheny's website?
A. It tried t learn frm Harvard. B. It didn't match its real situatin.
C. It failed t ensure students' safety. D. It didn't prmte critical thinking.
35. What des the authr advcate in the last paragraph?
A. Students shuld plan a unique life jurney. B. Schls must make English mre inviting. C. Students need t stick t their wn purpses. D. Schls ught t lk beynd practical values. 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)

The bell abve the bakery dr sunded, marking the end f anther lng day. Six-year-ld Ana watched her
mther, Elena, wipe flur-dusted hands n her aprn (围裙)—the same faded blue ne she wre every day. Her
mther’s dress, a simple grey shift washed thin at the elbws, was as cnstant as the sunrise.
Tmrrw was Mama’s birthday. A secret, heavy with lve, sat in Ana’s chest. Mama never bught clthes fr
herself. Her gifts were the warm bread n the table, the quiet mending f Ana’s scks, and the gentle sng she
hummed while making bread. Ana’s biggest wish was t wrap her lve in smething beautiful: a new dress, the clr
f the sky just after dawn.
But cins were fr flur and eggs, nt fr dreams. As Elena lcked the dr, an idea started t frm and grw in
Ana’s mind. She wuld grw her gift, like the seeds in the windw bx.
The next mrning, Ana became a tiny, determined entrepreneur. She gathered fallen flwers frm the geraniums
(天竺葵) by the step, threading them nt strings t make “necklaces”. She drew careful pictures f their bakery,
selling them t kindly neighbrs fr a penny. She even ffered t carefully dust ld Mr. Hendersn’s cllectin f tin
sldier statues, her small face serius with effrt. Her piggy bank began t whisper with a few lnely cins.
Days passed. Her piggy bank grew heavier, but nt heavy enugh. On the eve f the birthday, Ana pured the
cins nt her blanket. It wasn’t enugh fr a dress, nt even a scarf. Dwnstairs, she fund her mther at the kitchen
table, mending that same grey dress by lamplight. The sight was a quiet ache. “Mama,” Ana whispered, the cins held
firmly in her small fist. “I wanted t buy yu a blue dress fr tmrrw. But I nly have this.”

【67 题答案】
Ana’s vice trembled (颤抖) as she pened her hand. The cins, plished by her tiny palms, gleamed under the
lamplight. Elena’s eyes sftened, and a gentle smile spread acrss her face. She reached ut, cupping Ana’s face in
her flur-dusted hands. “Sweetheart, this is the mst precius gift I’ve ever received. But let’s think f smething else
we can d tgether t celebrate my birthday.” Ana lked at her mther, cnfusin and disappintment in her eyes,
but she ndded slwly.
“Oh, culd yu buy sme multi-clr threads fr me?” Elena asked. Ana’s eyes lit up with curisity. The next
day, Ana rushed t the stre with the cins and bught the threads. Elena then taught Ana hw t embrider. Tgether,
they wrked n the grey dress, adding clrful patterns f flwers and stars. When it was dne, the dress was a
beautiful piece f art. Elena put it n, and Ana saw that her mther lked mre radiant than ever. This simple act f
