B
Last summer, after 16 years in America, I travelled to Moscow where I grew up. I was
the first in my family to return. Mom gave me a hand-drawn map showing the
location of my grandfather’s grave(坟墓). She asked me to visit it. I promised her it
would be the first thing I’d do.
But it wasn’t until a day before I was leaving that I found time to visit.
By the entrance to the cemetery(公墓), a lady was selling flowers. She had only
seven left. I bought them all, but it was then that I realized the map was lost and neverfound.
I could call my mom. It was already morning in New York.
But the problem was that I had already told her I’d gone to the cemetery. What was I
going to say? That I decided to go again but lost the map?
Then I found the office. An old woman searched the records and found two
Abraham Pikarskis with no further details.
I set off to look for them, hoping that at least one would have a picture on the stone.
I found the two graves. Both said Abraham Pikarski, no pictures, nothing else.
Which grave was mine?
I put three flowers on the grave in front of me and went back to the first one. I also put three
flowers there.
I stood there with the last flower. Which Abraham Pikarski should it go to? Should I
just discard it so that each Abraham Pikarski got an equal number? Finally, I put the flower on
the grave. If this is really my grandfather’s, he got the most. If not, let this be a respect to the
stranger.
I flew home to New York the next day. When Mom saw me, she started crying.
“Mom, it’s only been a week...”
She said, “Son, thank you for visiting Grandfather’s grave. It really means so much to
me. When you called and told me you went there, I thought you were just comforting me. But
this morning, my cousin called from Moscow, saying she saw your flowers on your grandpa’s
grave.”
Should I ask her how many flowers her cousin saw? Three or four?
34. Why didn’t the writer call Mom for the location of his grandfather’s grave?
A. Because it was midnight in New York. B. Because he found the hand-drawn map.
C. Because he didn’t want Mom to know he broke his promise.
D. Because his mom didn’t know where Grandfather’s grave was.
35. The writer’s mother cried because ________.
A. she missed her father so much B. she hadn’t seen her son for a week
C. the writer visited his grandfather’s grave for her
D. the writer put four flowers on his grandfather’s grave
36. In which situation does the writer have no difficulty making a decision?
A. How to deal with the last flower. B. Whether to visit his grandfather’s grave.
C. Whether to phone Mom for the grave’s location.
D. Whether to ask Mom how many flowers her cousin saw.
37. This passage shows the writer’s character mostly through the use of ________.
A. description of his thoughts and actions B. his long dialogues with other people
C. description of his looks and personality D. other people’s thoughts about him
C
William Shakespeare died on April the 23rd in 1616. This year’s 400th anniversary of his
death is not just a chance to remember one of the greatest writers of all time. It is a moment to
celebrate his ongoing influence. Just as Ben Jonson, another great English writer of his times, said,
“he is not of an age, but for all time.”
People like Shakespeare’s plays because the characters show real human feelings. Romeoand Juliet, who are young lovers, they don’t quite know how to get ahead with their lives. And they
disagree with their parents. Their story has a sad ending. When we take the characters out of his
period, they really speak to almost any time and place.
The language of Shakespeare is alive and well in modern, everyday English. Even if an
English-speaker knows nothing about Shakespeare, they will surely know some sayings that come
from his plays. When we have problems making up our mind, we say “to be or not to be: that is the
question” (Hamlet). When a friend eats all the food in the house, we say he’s “eating me
out of house and home” (Henry IV).
But Shakespeare’s influence is felt far beyond his language and his culture.
“Cowards die many times before their death, the valiant (英勇的) never taste of
death but once.” This saying from Shakespeare’s historical play Julius Caesar encouraged Nelson
Mandela to fight on when he was a prisoner. Shakespeare’s influence is everywhere, from
Goethe (a German writer) to Tchaikovsky.
As Shakespeare himself put it in his comedy As You Like It, “all the world’s a stage.” More
than 400 years later, stages around the world still show his plays. Through his works,
Shakespeare lives on. Perhaps we’ll still be attracted by his works 400 years from now.
38. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the article?
A. To introduce the life story of William Shakespeare.
B. To explain why Shakespeare’s writing lives on.
C. To recommend some of Shakespeare’s best-known works.
D. To explore the influences of Shakespeare’s comedies.
39. Which of these sayings can be used to express the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. All the world’s a stage. B. To be or not to be: that is the question.
C. The valiant never taste of death but once. D. He is not of an age, but for all time.
40. Paragraph 4 is mainly about ________.
A. some famous Shakespearian sayings B. some Shakespearian historical stories
C. Shakespeare’s influence on modern English D. Shakespeare’s influence on wider society
41. By the last sentence “Perhaps we’ll still be attracted by his works 400 years from now”, the
writer means ________.
A. Shakespeare’s influence will last for a long time
B. Britain will remember William Shakespeare forever
C. Shakespeare’s works will be gone and forgotten some day
D. Shakespeare’s works will have a stronger influence than ever before
D
Picture the scene: It’s midnight. You’re very hungry after studying for a long time. Then you
see a nice pie in the fridge. Do you eat it? It seems that you shouldn’t, for many reasons, including
its influence on your studies.
Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us gain weight. But now a new
study has shown that late-night eating can also have a bad influence on our brains — it might
hurt our ability to learn new things and store memories.
“We believe that late-night eating may affect (影响) our learning by affecting the parts
of the brain that control learning and memory,” Dawn Loh, PhD, a project scientist at the
University of California, Los Angeles, said, “We believe the timing of when we eat is themaincause of the damaged (受损的) memory.”
For the study, the researchers looked at mice with strict feeding plans. For
two weeks, the mice were either allowed to eat during the time when they are
usually the most active, or during the time when they usually sleep. The mice received
the same amount(数量) of sleep and calories.
Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice. In one test, the researchers tried to
find out whether the mice could remember that a room was connected to an electric
shock(电击) after 24 hours had gone by. The researchers noticed that, when the mice
were put in the room again, those mice that ate when they should have been sleeping
were less likely(可能的) to get scared than those mice that ate during usual hours. It
means that they didn’t remember.
So think twice before the midnight snack — it might be bad for more than your
weight.
42. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to（指代）?
A. Studying for long. B. A nice pie. C. A new study. D. Late-night
eating.
43. For the study, the researchers need ____________.
A. to check the brains of the mice before the test started
B. to feed the mice only during the time when they usually sleep
C. to keep the mice in a room with an electric shock all the time
D. to let the mice receive the same amount of sleep and calories
44. According to the passage, which of the following sentences is TRUE?
A. A recent study shows late eating affects weight.
B. What we eat can affect learning and memory.
C. The mice that ate during sleeping hours didn’t remember.
D. The mice that ate during usual hours didn’t remember.
45. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?
A. Eating snacks affects memory B. Late eating hurts brain
C. Never stay up late D. Keep away from snacks

五、任务型阅读
Starting a book club is easy — all you need is to love reading. Here’s how to getyours off to a flying start.
When you set up your book club, the first thing is to get members for your club.
They could be friends, family, or those you know through various activities, but they should
all love to read. A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book
club. Too many make discussions difficult.
Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet — usually clubs meet monthly.
Pick a date and stick with it. That way, members can easily plan for it. Send out emails a week
before the meeting to give people a written reminder. Set meeting time length. An hour is a good
start. Two hours usually does the trick.
Then, you need a good place. Libraries, parks and restaurants — all make good meeting
places. For many clubs, homes are the best place as you don’t have to get dressed up, and noisy
public places can make talking hard. If members bring a plate of food or a bottle, it can help start
conversation.
Please don’t forget the most important thing — the book! Think about the books your club
will enjoy. Fiction? Non-fiction? Your club can choose books in different ways. You can take
turns to recommend books. Let everyone vote upon what book to read. Anyway, make sure to
keep it light and fun.
After all this has been decided, your book club is ready. Now, it’s time
to hold the first meeting. Enjoy your reading.
