(1) He had arranged to meet Sally on Saturday in the National Gallery. She was to come there as
soon as she was released from the shop and had agreed to lunch with him. Two days had passed since
he had seen her, and his exultation (得意感) had not left him for a moment. It was because he rejoiced
in the feeling that he had not attempted to see her. He had repeated to himself exactly what he would
say to her and how he should say it. Now his impatience was unbearable. He had written to Doctor
South and had inhis pocket a telegram from him received that morning:“ Sacking the mumpish ( 愠
怒的) fool. When will you come?"Philip walked along Parliament Street. It was a fine day, and there
was a bright, frosty sun which made the light dance in the street. It was crowded. There was a tenuous
mist in the distance,and it softened exquisitely the noble lines of the buildings. He crossed Trafalgar
Square. Suddenly his heart gave a sort of twist in his body; he saw a woman in front of him who he
5/12thought was Mildred. She had the same figure, and she walked with that slight dragging of the feet
which was so characteristic of her. Without thinking, but with a beating heart, he hurried till he came
alongside, and then, when the woman turned, he saw it was someone unknown to him. It was the face
of a much older person, with a lined, yellow skin. He slackened his pace.He was infinitely relieved,
but it was not only relief that he felt; it was disappointment too; he was seized with horror of himself.
Would he never be free from that passion? At the bottom of his heart, notwithstanding everything, he
felt that a strange, desperate thirst for that vile woman would always linger. That love had caused him
so much suffering that he knewhewould never,never quitebe free ofit.
(2) But he wrenched the pang from his heart. He thought of Sally, with her kind blue eyes; and
his lips unconsciously formed themselves into a smile. He walked up the steps of the National Gallery
and sat down in the first room, so that he should see her the moment she came in. It always comforted
him to get among pictures. He looked at none in particular, but allowed the magnificence of their
colour, the beauty of their lines, to work upon his soul. His imagination was busy with Sally. It would
be pleasant to take her away from that London in which she seemed an unusual figure, like a
cornflower in a shop among orchids and azaleas; he had learned in the Kentish hop field that she did
not belong to the town; and he was sure that she would blossom under the soft skies of Dorset to a
rarer beauty. She came in, and he got up to meet her. She was in black, with white cuffs at her wrists
and a lawn collarround her neck.They shookhands.
(3) He realised that he had deceived himself; it was no self-sacrifice that had driven him to think
of marrying, but the desire for a wife and a home and love; and now that it all seemed to slip through
bis fingers he was seined with despair. He wanted all that more than anything in the world. What did
he care for Spain and its cities, Cordova, Toledo, Leon; what to him were the pagodas of Burmah and
the lagoons of South Sea Islands?America was here and now. It seemed to him that all his life he had
followed the ideals that other people, by their words or their writings, had instilled into him, and never
the desires of his own heart.Always his course had been swayed by what he thought he should do and
never by what he wanted with his whole soul to do. He put all that aside now with a gesture of
impatience. He had lived always in the future,and the preset always, always had sipped through his
fingers. His ideals? He thought of his desire to make a design, intricate and beautiful, out of the
myriad, meaningless facts of life: had he not seen also that the simplest pattern, that in which a man
was born, worked, married, had children, and died, was likewise the most perfect? It might be that to
surrenderto happiness was toaccept defeat, but it was a defeat betterthan many victories.

(1)After the first 10 short stories in her new collection,Alice Munro inserts a single paragraph on
an otherwise blank page, under the heading, Finale: “ The final four works in this book are not quite
stories.They form a separate unit , one that is autobiographical in feeling,though not, sometimes,
entirely so in fact.I believe they are the first and last- -and the closest- -things I have to say about my
own life.
(2)What followsis asubversive (颠覆性的) challenge tothe ideaof autobiography: apurposeful
melding of fact, fiction and feeling. Like Muriel Spark's Curriculum Vitae and Hilary Mantel's Giving
Up the Ghost, Munro's “final four works" will loom like megaliths over all who pick up their pens to
writeabout her inthefuture.
(3)“ Dear Life" describes the house Munro lived in when she was growing up in Wingham,
Ontario ,where her mother was a schoolteacher and her father a fur and poultry farmer. “This is not a
story,only life," she notes, signalling the pathways, names ,coincidences that might have been woven
intoher fiction ,but here are present as memories.
(4)“Night" revisitsMunro's childhood insomnia. Sleeping onabunkabove her youngersister she
became frightened of the thought that it would be quite easy to strangle her in the night. Caught
walking outside on the porch by her father, also insomniac ,Munro remembers confessing her
disturbing vision of sororicide.“ He said,' People have those kinds of thoughts sometimes. ,He said
7/12this quite seriously and without any sort of alarm or jumpy surprise .. People have thoughts they'd
soonernot have. It happens inlife.”
(5)“Voices" recalls a visit to a local dance with Munro's mother that was cut short due to the
presence of a mature local prostitute and one of her girls. Munro overheard two air force men from
PortAlbert comforting the girl on the stars and stroking her thigh: “I had never in my life heard a man
speak in that way, treating a woman as if she was so fine and valued a creature that whatever it was,
whateverunkindness had comenear her,was somehow abreach of alaw,asin.”
(6)“The Eye" is the most majestic of Munro's monuments to memory. She remembers being
taken,the year she started school, to see the dead body of a young woman whom her mother had hired
to help after the birth of Munro's younger siblings. Encouraged to look into the coffin, she thought she
saw the young woman slightly open one eye: a private signal to her alone.“ Good for you," her mother
said, as they left thegrieving household.
(7) It is fascinating to compare this with the end of the story“Amundsen”earlier in the collection.
Twopeoplewho were lovers longago meet unexpectedly crossing aTorontostreet.
(8) The man opens one of his eyes slightly wider than the other and asks,“ How are
you?"“ Happy,"she says.“Good for you," hereplies.
(9)In thisbook,Munro has laid bare thefoundations ofher fiction as never before. Lovers ofher
writing musthopethis is not, infact, her finale. But ifitis, it's spectacular.
44.In Para. 2,thephrase“loom likemegaliths"probably means .
A. appearas heavy as alarge stone B. showas barriers
C. seem large and horrifying D. come intoview suddenly
45.Which ofthefollowing statements isINCORRECTaccording to thepassage?
A. Munro's mother usedtobe ateacher.
B. Munro's dance with hermotherdidn't last.
C.“Amundsen”isone ofMunro's stories.
D.“Dear Life" is thelast bookofMunro.
46.What istheauthor's attitudetowards Munro's book?
A. Neutral. B. Sarcastic. C.Preferred. D. Reserved.
(1) Where Latin American history is so much the story of disappointment- -the burden of
8/12unfulfilled promise having weighed heavily on the region- football in many ways remains her greatest
achievement.When, in 2007, Brazil was named host nation for the 2014 Fifa World Cup, the country's
then president stated that "football ismore thanasport for us,it's a national passion".
(2)He was, however,mistaken. Football in LatinAmerica ismuch morethan a passion: itis the
architect of national identity. Whereas Europe fashioned her identity early, it was not until the 20th
century that LatinAmerican republics were able to consolidate the myths that would shape nationhood.
For many,thisbordered onan obsession.
(3) As early as the 1910s,identity was being constructed by international football When faced
with a stained past and uncertain future, it was through the game that the continent defined itself in
relation to the rest of the world. LatinAmericans sill see football as their birthright, even though it was
born of the British sporting clubs that were established in the region in the 19th century. Football in
Latin America is where sentimentality and violence jockey for position. In short, the continent's soul
is reflected in her football.
(4)In theearlyThirties, thecelebrated travel writerand adventurer,RositaForbes, spent a year in
SouthAmerica, where she encountered “half adozen coups d'etat, military and civilian”" For South
Americans, this was nothing new.These republics, for the most part proto-democratic, had spent much
oftheprevious century fighting wars withintheir borders andwithout.
(5)Bolivia, for example,had been humiliated in the War of the Pacific, the peace settlement of
which left her without aces to the coast. Not only was she poor: she was landlocked. (This was
somethingthat football fans from neighbouring countries would not let her forget. )
(6)The onset of the 20th century was unlikely to eradicate the bloodletting that had become part
of the psyche of so many of these nascent (新生的) republics. Argentina had been a prime offender.
This was not lost onV.s. Naipaul, who noted,“ the idea of blood and revolution, in unending sequence:
justone morefresh start, thefinding out and killingof justonemore enemy" .
(7)For Forbes these traits were manifest in football "It has been suggested by cynics," she
wrote,“that football is almost as great a danger to the peace of South America as the politics of
soldiers,students and artisans. Both sports are flavoured with a fanaticism only equalled by the
Inquisition. ”Moreover,she noted that thediplomatic spat ( 争吵) betweenArgentina and Uruguay in
1932 could be“ traced to the bitterness on one side and the impolitic rejoicing on the other which
followed thedefeat ofthelargerrepublic in thestadium ofMontevideo" .
(8) This bitterness had history. For a country that, in the mind of theArgentinian, was dismissed
as a mere province, it was imitating that Uruguay had won gold infootball at the 1924 Paris Olympics,
9/12a feat they repeated four years later in Amsterdam. Hosting and winning the inaugural World Cup in
1930 confirmed the country's supremacy in the region. And yet triumph in Europe was not solely
about thegame; it hadgreater significance for thediminutiverepublic.
47.When did LatinAmerican republics define theiridentities?
A.Asearly as the19th century. B. Untiltheonset ofthe20thcentury.
C. In theearlyThirties. D.After LatinAmerican republics won theWorld Cup.
48.Which ofthefollowing statements isINCORRECT?
A. Football was originally bornin LatinAmerica.
B. LatinAmerican republics constructed theirnational identities byfootball.
C. LatinAmerican republics have suffered from years ofwar.
D. Bolivialost part of itsterritory during thewar.
49.Winning theWorld Cupmeans forUruguay.
A. bitterness B. irritation C. jealousy D. ascendancy

People UnsureAbout“Virtual”Doctor Visits
Being able to find high quality health care at an affordable price is an issue in many countries. In
theUnited States,Walmart, alarge chain store, is trying to help. It is offering something newto its
employees: cutting the cost of a doctor's appointment to only $4. The catch is that the patient and
doctormust meet electronically- overtheInternet.This onlineservice is called“telemedicine"
Thanks to telemedicine,people can talk with medical experts from the privacy of their own
homes.Many in the U. S. health care industry see this as a good time to teach people how telemedicine
services can help them. Supporters say online visits make it easier for patients to see an expert or
quickly find helpfor problems considered non-emergencies.
Still, many peopledonot usetelemedicine. Compared with seeing areal doctor in person, some
people may think the quality of telemedicine is not as good. Parents, for example, may feel they are
not giving their child the best care if they use a virtual doctor appointment. Older adults may also not
want to see a doctor online. One reason may be that older people may look forward to their in-person
doctor appointments.“Going to the doctor's office is a big event" in the lives of many older people. It
is somethingthey lookforward to.
Anotherreason some adultsmay not use telemedicineservices istrust.TomHill, age 66,has no
plans to ever usetelemedicine. He does notbuyanything online, let alone dosomethingas personal as
seeing a doctor.Hesays,for him,it is important to lookhis doctor intheeye and shake hands.
