22、Of all the changes that have taken place in English-language newspapers during the past quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching has been the inexorable decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.

It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers. Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews. To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies.

We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II, at a time when newsprint was dirt-cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornament to the publications in which it appeared. In those far-off days, it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length about the events they covered. Theirs was a serious business, and even those reviews who wore (展示) their learning lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman, could be trusted to know what they were about. These men believed in journalism as a calling（使命）, and were proud to be published in the daily press. 'So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in journalism,' Newman wrote “that I am tempted to define” journalism “as a term of contempt（轻蔑） applied by writers who are not read to writers who are”.

Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England's foremost classical-music critics, and a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography (1947) became a best-seller. He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored. Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists.

Is there any chance that Cardus's criticism will enjoy a revival? The prospect seems remote. Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, and postmodern readers have little use for the richly polished Vicwardian（维多利亚和爱德华时代） prose in which he specialized. Moreover, the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat.

【1】It is indicated in Paragraphs 1 and 2 that

A．arts criticism has disappeared from big-city newspapers.

B．English-language newspapers used to carry more arts reviews.

C．high-quality newspapers retain a large body of readers.

D．young readers doubt the suitability of criticism on dailies.

【2】Newspaper reviews in England before World War 2 were characterized by ___________.

A．free themes.

B．casual style.

C．elaborate layout.

D．radical viewpoints

【3】Which of the following would Shaw and Newman most probably agree on?

A．It is writers' duty to fulfill journalistic goals.

B．It is contemptible for writers to be journalists.

C．Writers are likely to be tempted into journalism.

D．Not all writers are capable of journalistic writing.

【4】What can be learned about Cardus according to the last two paragraphs?

A．His music criticism may not appeal to readers today.

B．His reputation as a music critic has long been in dispute.

C．His style caters largely to modern specialists.

D．His writings fail to follow the amateur tradition.

23、As online learning becomes more common and more and more resources become digital form, some people have suggested that public libraries should be shut down and, in their place, everyone should be given an iPad.

Supporters of this idea state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they won’t have to travel to a library to get a book; they can simply click on what they want to read and read it from wherever they are. They could also access more materials because libraries won’t have to buy physical copies of books.

However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with iPads. First, digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources. A study done on tablet and book reading found that people read 20-30% slower on iPads, remember 20% less information, and understand 10% less of what they read compared to people who read the same information in print. Additionally, staring too long at a screen has been shown to cause some health problems, including dizziness, dry eyes, headaches, shoulder and back pain and so on. We should not add to these problems by giving people, especially young people, more reasons to look at screens.

Second, it is incredibly narrow-minded to assume that the only service libraries offer is book lending. Libraries have more benefits, and many are only available if the library has a physical location. Some of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving people a way to communicate with their neighbors, holding classes on a variety of topics, providing jobs and keeping the community connected. One neighborhood found that, after a local library instituted community events such as play times for kids and parents, job fairs for teenagers, and meeting spaces for senior citizens, over a third of residents reported feeling more connected to their community. Similarly, a survey conducted in 2015 found that nearly two-thirds of American adults feel that closing their local library would have a major impact on their community. People see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered and benefits iPads can’t offer nearly as well or as easily.

While replacing libraries with iPads may seem like a simple solution, it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens, despite the issues surrounding them. It would also end access to many of the benefits of libraries that people have come to rely on. In many areas, libraries are such an important part of the community network that they could never be replaced by a simple object.

【1】Digital reading supporters may agree that ________.

A．the price is too high to maintain libraries

B．iPads make people’s learning less convenient

C．printed books are more efficient than digital ones

D．iPads encourage people to spend more time on line

【2】The author supports his idea in Paragraph 3 by________.

A．listing figures and showing studying results

B．highlighting the differences between the two media

C．comparing reading efficiency through different media

D．showing advantages and disadvantages of reading with iPads

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards the functions of public libraries?

A．Unconcerned.

B．Confused.

C．Positive.

D．Negative.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．Why IPads Encourage People to Read?

B．Should Public Libraries Be Shut Down?

C．Will IPads Take the Place of Public Libraries?

D．How Are IPads And Public Libraries Different?

24、On World Oceans Day, which falls on June 8, the US National Geographic Society announced it would recognize the Southern Ocean in Antarctica, bringing the global total to five.

Unlike the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans—which are defined by the continents that bound them—the Southern Ocean is instead characterized by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current（南极洋流）. According to the National Geographic, the Southern Ocean includes most of the waters surrounding Antarctica out to 60 degrees south latitude（纬度）.

"Encircled by the powerfully swift ACC, it is the only ocean to touch three others and to completely embrace a continent rather than being embraced by them," Sylvia Earle, a marine biologist and oceanographer, told the Daily Mail.

Those familiar with the Southern Ocean know it's unlike any other. "Anyone who has been there will struggle to explain what's so charming about it, but they'll all agree that the glaciers are bluer, the air colder, the mountains more awful and the landscapes more captivating than anywhere else you can go," Seth Sykora-Bodie, a marine scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told National Geographic.

National Geographic hopes their revised maps will bring public awareness to the region, thereby encouraging Southern Ocean conservation—but its significance is beyond that.

"We think it's really important from an educational standpoint, as well as from a map-labeling standpoint, to bring attention to the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean," Alex Tait, National Geographic Society geographer, told The Post. "So when students learn about parts of the ocean world, they learn it's an interconnected ocean, and they learn there are these regions called oceans that are really important, and there's a distinct one in the icy waters around Antarctica."

【1】Why is the Southern Ocean different from other oceans?

A．It has never been explored before.

B．It surrounds the Antarctic all around.

C．It is enclosed by the fast-flowing ACC.

D．It has ecologically distinct environment.

【2】What does the underlined word "captivating" in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Strange.

B．Unusual.

C．Attractive.

D．Informal.

【3】What does the National Geographic think of the Southern Ocean?

A．It will be instructive for students.

B．It will promote tourism development.

C．It will encourage public to treasure water.

D．It will draw scientists to study in the Antarctic.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．World Oceans Day

B．Revised Antarctic Maps

C．Adding a New Ocean

D．New Discovery under the Sea

25、Bobby the mountain climber was famous for his attempts to climb the big snowy mountain. He had tried it at least thirty times, but had always failed halfway.

For the sake of _________ Bobby to try again, Old Peeper, the town optician, who bore witness to his _________, presented him with a pair of special sunglasses. “If it starts clouding over or if your feet start hurting, put on these glasses.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Wednesday morning came. Anne got up at sunrise because she was too excited to sleep. She planned to make a cake for Mrs Allan, the best teacher she had ever met, who was invited over for a tea party. When she finally shut the oven door, she took a long breath.

“I'm sure I haven't forgotten anything this time, Marilla . But do you think it will rise? What if that cake doesn't rise?”

“We'll have plenty without it,”was Marilla’s uninterested way of looking at the subject .

The cake did rise, however, and came out of the oven looking perfect. Anne was red-faced with delight and, in imagination, saw Mrs Allan eating it and possibly asking for another piece!

Mrs Allan arrived and they all enjoyed a lovely tea. Everything went well until Anne's cake was passed. Mrs Allan, having already been helped to a lot of desserts, declined it. But Marilla, seeing the disappointment on Anne's face, said smilingly:“Oh, you must take a piece, Mrs Allan. Anne made it specially for you, expecting that you would love it.”

“In that case I must try it,”laughed Mrs Allan. She took a mouthful and a strange expression crossed her face; not a word did she say, however, but continued eating. Marilla saw this and hastened (急忙) to taste the cake. “Anne Shirley!” she shouted, “what on earth did you put into that cake? What flavoring did you use?” “Vanilla (香草精)，only vanilla.”said Anne.

“Go and bring me the bottle of vanilla you used.”

Anne returned with a small bottle and Marilla took it and smelled it.

“Mercy on us, Anne, you've flavored that cake with ANODYNE LINIMENT (镇痛剂). Why couldn't you have smelled it?”

Ashamed of her mistake, Anne burst into tears and fled to her room.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Soon a light step sounded on the stairs and Mrs Allan entered the room.
