二、阅读理解（共4题，共 20分）

21、You may have heard of the book Moby Dick(《白鲸记》),written by the American author Herman Melville.You may also know that Moby Dick is considered one of the greatest novels ever written.However,it might surprise you to find out Herman Melville was not always a highly regarded author.

Melville’s first two novels,Typee and Omoo,were widely read and financially successfully.They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands.Melville became quite famous.However,upon the publication of his third book,Mardi,Melville’s popularity began to weaken.He was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure,and his writing took on a style that alienated（使疏远）the general reading public of his time.

Melville published Moby Dick in October of 1851 it was an original novel,combining aspects of sociology and philosophy,which confused readers by its complex symbolism.The book sold poorly.

Melville’s next book,Pierre,was almost completely disregarded by the public.Debt frustration and ill health finally forced Melville to take a low-paying job as a customs inspector.Eventually,Melville abandoned prose（散文）and began to write poetry.

The Civil War is the main subject of Melville’s poetry.He and his brother made a trip to the front line,and he published a book of poems,Battle-Pieces and Aspects of War,based on this experience.

Melville died in 1891 at the age of 72 at this point,his work had been completely forgotten by the public.His talent was to go unrecognized for the next thirty years.Then,in 1920s, his reputation began to improve as critics and readers rediscovered his work.Today Moby Dick is one of the best-known novels ever penned by an American author.

【1】What were Melville’s first two novels mainly about?

A. His travel experience.

24、When drama teacher Chelsie King asked students at her school to come up with a way for her husband to go around the neighborhood in his wheelchair with their newborn, they were up for the challenge.

Chelsie’s husband, Jeremy, underwent brain surgery for a tumor (肿瘤) three years ago, and since then it has been difficult for him to keep his balance. He wanted to be able to safely hold his baby, but “there’s just really not a ton of resources out there for disabled parents,” Chelsie said. She then asked her colleague, Matt Zigler, who teaches the “Making for Social Good” class, for assistance.

In this course, students design products to help people, and the 10 high schoolers came up with something that could attach to the wheelchair Jeremy uses. They spoke with the Kings about their needs, conducted research on infant (婴儿) car seats and how they are installed, and then used the school’s Maker Space to 3D print several parts and bought others. They even borrowed a wheelchair from the school nurse to use as a model for things like weight testing. “I really feel the students took all my concerns to heart when creating the prototypes (雏形) ,” Jeremy said. Two projects were selected for the students to make — one that connected an infant car seat to Jeremy’s wheelchair and another that attached an entire stroller to the wheelchair.

“Children grow and they grow out of a car seat, so we want Mr. King to be able to walk with his son no matter what age he is,” student Jacob Zlotnitsky said. When they were done making the attachments, the students put the instructions online to help even more people. They finished constructing both designs within one month. The Kings went out with the car seat attachment, and found it worked perfectly. The students were excited to learn that their creation was a hit. “I feel fortunate to have been able to take a class that has allowed me to truly make life easier for others,” Zlotnitsky said.

【1】Why did Chelsie King ask the students for help?

A．Jeremy needed brain surgery.

B．Jeremy couldn’t walk his baby.

C．Jeremy couldn’t stand on his own feet.

D．Jeremy had no resources for disabled parents.

【2】To help Jeremy, the students ________.

A．bought a new wheelchair for him

B．did research with stroller producers

C．produced 2 types of wheelchair attachments

D．asked other disabled people about their needs

【3】According to the passage, the students were excited mainly because ________.

A．they had taken the course

B．their work was successful

C．their work was finished in time

D．they shared the instructions online

【4】What does the story intend to tell us?

A．Life is full of challenges.

B．Failure is the mother of success.

C．Experience is the key to problem solution.

D．Creativity and kindness can make a difference.

三、完形填空（共1题，共 5分）

25、There isn’t a book that I always _________ to at this most wonderful time of year, as jingle-bell _________ has it. Having said that, my husband is much more Christmassy than me and there are two texts he has made a(an) _________ part of the family festival, like the _________ tributes to the dawn of next year led by the calendar.

This Christmas, then, the following unchanging ritual (仪式) will be _________. He shooed us to the sitting room, withdrawing a shiny black long-playing _________ from its ancient, crumbling sleeve and place it on the turntable.

When he did this the first time our children were _________, as up to that point in their young and tech-centric lives they’d never seen such a thing before. They were quite happy to watch it go round and round _________ the point of the ritual was the spinning disk, whatever sound was coming out of the two ancient speakers.

“Richard Burton is the best,” my husband then cut in _________. As the dark Welsh __________ of Burton began to narrate (解说) Dylan Thomas’s radio drama Under Milk Wood, the children would settle in silence, __________ their listening positions in the sitting room by the fire, only slightly anxious about how to convey without complaining out loud their deep concerns about being detained too long from toys, televisions and presents.

My husband will sonorously (洪亮地) __________ his favourite bits so we all benefit from hearing the words in stereo (立体声). Our Master’s Voice and Burton’s declaiming Under Milk Wood together.

“It is a spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black…”

Filled with seasonal feeling and wonder as any bible reading or carol, the best bit for me is watching my children’s faces as the __________ words make pictures in their heads __________ Dylan Thomas’s unimprovable formulations: they see the dogs in the wet-nosed yards and they hear the hushed town breathing.

This is as much a part of Christmas as a Festival of Ten Lessons and Carols from Kings to all my family, and this is __________ :Even though cold and silence and blackness run through the piece like a layer of __________ , it beats with heat and warmth. It is a celebration of humanity. Compare the words of “Silent Night” to this:

“Time passes. Listen. Time passes. Only you can hear the houses sleeping in the streets in the slow deep salt and silent black, bandaged night. ”

Of course, on the face of it, Thomas’s A Child’s Christmas in Wales is the more __________ text, and my husband will often play or read that too. The __________ lines of A Child’s Christmas, “I said some words to the close and holy darkness, and then I __________ ,” are perfectly final. Dylan Thomas rounds off his little story of his Welsh childhood as Shakespeare rounds off our little lives — with a sleep.

All is dark, all is bright in both, but the one I ponder __________ my heart is Under Milk Wood.

四、书面表达（共1题，共 5分）

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

In 1995 I broke my left foot on a bike ride. Luckily, I could still drive, so I continued my life with crutches (拐杖). One Sunday I drove to a picnic in a forest preserve an hour from my home, in my comfortable, but uncertain, white car.

The picnic was great, with good food, good friends and good weather. Late in the afternoon I left the party and began my drive home. I took the scenic route through West Chicago, a small town about 25 miles west of Chicago proper. Everything closed down on Sunday there, so it was hard to find someone driving on the road.

As I started up a bridge my car started to move with a short sudden action. The problem was that my car's alternator (交流发电机) went wrong, resulting in the car's battery dying. I thought, not now, not here! Finally, the car died. I rolled backwards onto a safer place, and pulled the emergency brake (紧急制动). Of course it was starting to get dark. I had to go out to walk, but where would I go? And on crutches? How long before a car would come by, and would they be kind enough to stop help? It would be very expensive to get my car to the auto mechanic shop (汽车修理店) of my hometown. Could I go home safely?

Then I saw a house right there at the bottom of the bridge, with a family outside having a picnic with their friends! Some of them were looking in my direction; some women were clearing away the completed picnic meal. I had great trouble walking with crutches, so I got out, leaned on the car and waved one crutch over my head. Their response was immediate. Three people ran up to the car to see what I needed. I told them my story and they took action at once.

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2. 请按如下格式作答。

To my great joy, the family owned an auto mechanic shop.
