A NATIONWIDE BESTSELLER
It’s likely that everything you learned about.America’s ancient history is
wrong.
The new book,1491,completely changes our understanding of the Amerieas
before the arrival of Columbus in 1492.
DID YOU KNOW?
When Columbus landed there were probably more people in the Americas than
there were in Europe.
The peoples of North America had such healthy life-styles that as late as the
19th century they continued to be the tallest people on earth.
Facts have shown that the Amenicas were populated as long as 33,000 years
ago.
4,000 years ago Mesoamerican famers developed com in a feat (技艺) of genetie
engineering that still isn’t completely understood.
COMMENTS ON 1491
“In the tradition of Jared Diamond & John MePhee,a totally new view of
precolunhian America”.
－Richard Rhodes
“Attrnctively written and really absorbing Charles C.Mann has produced a
book that’s part detective story,part cpie(史诗) and part tragedy(不幸).He
has taken on a vast topic:thousands of years,two huge continents,and
cultures.”
－Charles Matthews,San Jese Mercary News
“Powerful and challenging”
－Alan Taylor,Washingto post
“A pleasure to read as well as a wonderful education”
－Howard Zinn
56.On the whole,1491 is a book mainly about America’s________.
A.life-styles B.population C.history
D.agrieulture
57.Which of the following as NOT TRUE about the comments on the book 1491?
A. It is interesting and instructive.
B. It is attractive and culturally related.
C. It is challenging and revolutionary.
D. It is hurnorous and persuasive.
58.From this passage,we can learn_________.
A.people settled in the Amencas a little carlier than 1942
B.North Americans were the tallest in the 18th cenntry in the world
C.Mesoamencan farmers knew genclic engineering 5,000 years ago
第6页 | 共14页D.the population in the Americas was smaller than that in Europe in 1492
B
For the first time in modern history,less than half of the U.S.adult
population now reads literature,according to a recent survey.Reading at Risk A
Survey of Lilerary Reading in America presents a detailed review of the decline
of reading’s role in the nation’s culture.
Reading at Risk is a survey of national fashion in adult literary reading.The
data souree for Reading at Risk is as reliable and objective(客观的)as any such
survey can be.The key results of the survey are presented in the
“Surnmary”,but the report can be further exploined as:literary teading in
America is not only declining rapidly among all groups,but the rate of decling
has been speeded up,especially among the young.Rcading at Risk merely shows a
great cultural change that most Americans have already noted－our society’s
great turn to clectronic media for entertainment and information.
Reading a book requires a degree of active attention and
devotion.Indced,reading itself is a progressive skillo that depends on
years of cducation nand practice.On the contrary,most electronic media such
as television,recordings,and radio make fewer demands on their
audiences,and indced require no more than passive participation.While oral
culture has a rich reality and electronic media offer the commdenbic
atteation of variety.print culture affords irreplaceable forms of focused
and thought than make varicen communications and views possible.The deline
in reading.thenfore ,equals a larger retreat(减少)from participation in
public and culutural life.
What is to be done?There is surely no single solution to the pretent
problem.just as there is no single cause .The important thing now is to
underwand that America can no longer take active and devoted reading for
granted.
Reading is not a timeless,common ability.As more Americans love thus
ability .out nation becomes less informed,active ,and independent minded .There
are not speakeras that a free, inventive,or productive society can afford to
love.
59.The main purpose of the survey is to _______.
第7页 | 共14页 A.focus on the role of electronic media ang reading
B.show that American young people read less and less
C.give a report of the national of literary reading
D.review that less that half of the population now reads litersture
60.According to the passage ,reading _______.
A.requires less attention and devotion
B.demsnds no more than passive participation
C.limits various communications and views
D.means active participation in pubnlic and cultural life
61.The underlined phrase “cultural chang”in Paragraph 2 refers to the
change _______.
A.from oral culture to electronic media
B.from print culture to electronic to electronic media
C.from electronic media to oral
D.from electr onic media to print culture
62.The author of the passage ________.
A.misunderstands oral culture
B.doubts the Americans to read more
C.encourages the Americans to read more
D.agrees to the solution to present problem in reading

The coyote(丛林狼).that elever animal of wide-open space .has come to the
nation’s captial.In fact ,coyotes have spread to every comer of the United
States,changing their behaviors to fit new envioronments and causing
researchers to deal with a troublesome new kind of creature:the city coyote.
The coyote originally lived in the middle of the continent.One of its most
obvious characters is its smartness, which has made the animal a notorious（臭
名昭著的） pest.Hunters trapped,shot and poisoned more than a million coyotes
in the 1900s.It’s still one of America’s mosthunted animals. Yet the coyote
has survived.How has the coyote shown this extraordinary ability?”I guess if
you wanted to use one word,it’d be ‘plasticity’.”says Erie Gese,an expert
at Utah State University. Coyotes can live alon, in pairs, or in large packs
like wolves,hunt at night or during the day , occupy a small region or an area
up to 40 square miles,and live on all sorts of food,from lizards（蜥蜴）and
shoes, to ants and melons.
Unbelicvadly people helpcd coyotes increase when they kiltcd most of
第8页 | 共14页the wolves in the United States. The sprcdding of coyotes into city
areas,though.is rccent.They travel at night,crossing sidcwalks and

.No one knows why coyotes are maving into cities.but expertsexplaih that
clevcter,more human-tolerant(不怕人的)coyotes are teaching urban survivalskills
to new generations.
Occasionally.coyotes mighe attack human beings.There have been about 160
attacks on peoplc in reccnt years Therefore,people have bccn consistently told
not feed coyotes or leave pct food unseeurcd.That ,plus a large trapping
program in the neighborhood.has cur down on the coyote population.
63.The underlinged word “plasticity”in Paragraph 2refers to____________.
A.the ability to fit the environment B.notonous smartness

The discovery of a dwarfed ( 矮 个 的 )”human being” who lived in Flores
.Indonesin .up to 18,000 years ago is changing the way we think about the human
family .This “Flores Human”was three foot tall and her brain was smaller than
that lf the average chimp (黑猩猩).yet she and her relatives apparently lived
fully human lives .They seem to have made tools ,worked together to find food
and cook it,and perhaps even hurried their dead with ceremony.
It was a major surprise to find tools associated with the new human family
member .The tools are like those frmmerly seen only with European fossils (化
石)from our own species;Homo sapiens (智人)；and the oldest of them were made
94,000years ago .Homo sapiens is thought to have amved in the island about
第9页 | 共14页40,000 years ago ,much too late to be responsible for the tools .If this tiny
human made the tools ,them the inside structure (结构)of its brain must have
been more like our own than a chimp’s ,despite being just a third the size of
ours.
This “new human” was suspected to be a dwarfed ranch of Homo erectus (直立
人)。When creatures are separated in regions with rare resources but few
enemies,being big is a disadvantage, and evolution tends to shrink them,
aprocess known as island dwarfing.Could natural selection make a human smaller
while keeping----even improving----mental ability ?Quite possibly, believes
Christopher Wills of the University of California.
Has the “Flores Human” even shown the ability of language? “I find it
difficult to imagine that people could make tools.use fire ,and kill large
animals without fairly advanced communication.” Wills says .Did “Flores
Human” possess the basic components of human culture ---such as the burying of
the dead with ceremony ? Emiliano Bruner of the Italian Institute points out
that Indonesia’s hot,wet environment is bad for fossilization.It is reasonable
to assume ,he says ,that the 18,000-year-old bones of the most complete Flores
woman were well-preserved because she was buried with special care.
67.According to the passage , “Flores Human”______.
A. lived a partly human life
B. was a branch of Homo sapiens
C. used tools before Homo sapiens arrived
D. had a brain as a common chimp’s [C]
68.The underlined part “this tiny human”in Paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A.a chimp . B.Flores Human
C.C.Homo sapiens D.Homo sapiens [B]
69.This passage mainly talks about______.
A. the tools made by “Flores Human”
B. the language used by “Flores Human”
C. the evolution of “Flores Human”
D.the major surprising findings about “Flores Human” [D]
70.According to the passage ,it is believed that “Flores Human”_______.
A. was dwarfed by its enemies
B.could use language
C.left a lot of fossils in hot and wet enviroment
D.reached Flores 40,000 years ago [B]

Susan Sontag (1933----2004)was one of the most noticeable figures in the
world of literature.For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to
know everything---to read every book worth reading ,to see every movie worth
seeing .When she was still in her early 30s,publishing essays in such
important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of
第10页 | 共14页American culture life ,trying hard to follow every new development in
literature, film and art .With great effort and serious judgement. Sontag
walked at the latest edges of world culture.
Seriousness was one of Sontage’s lifelong watchwords(格言).but at a
time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were
obvious,she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture.In
“Notes Camp”,the 1964 essay that first made her name ,she explained what
was then a little-known set of difficult understandings,
through which she could not have been more famous .“Notes on Camp”,she
wrote,represents“a victory of
‘form’over‘content’,‘beauty’over‘morals’”.
By conviction（信念）she was a sensualist（感觉论者）, but by nature she
was a moralist （伦理学者）,and in the works she published in the 1970s and
1980s , it was the latter side of her that came forward. In illness as Metaphor
—published in 1978, after she suffered cancer—she argued against the idea
that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities（被压抑的
性格）, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact ,
re-examining old positions was her lifelong lifelong habit.
In America,her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect
society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000.But it was as a
tirelessm all-purposer cultural view that she made her lasting
fame.“Sometimes,”she once said ,“I feel that, in the end, all I am really
defending …is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.”And in the
end ,she made us take it seriously too.
71.The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means Sontag_________.
A. was a symbol of American cultural life
B. developed world literature,film and art
C. published many essays about world culture
D. kept pace with the newst development of world culture
72.She first won her name through ___________.
A. her story of a Polish actress
B. her book illness as Metaphor
C. publishing essays in magazines like partisan Review
D. her explanation of a set of difficult understankings
73.According to the passage,Susan Sontag__________.
A. was a sensualist as well as a moralist
B. looked down upon the pop culture
C. thought content was more important than form
D. blamed the victim of cancer for being repressed
74.As for Susan Sontag’s lifelong habit , she __________.
A. misunderstood the idea of seriousness
B. re-examined old positions
C. argued for an openess to pop culture
D. preferred morals to beauty
第11页 | 共14页75.Susan Sontag’s lasting fame was made upon___________-.
A.a tireless, all-purpose cultural view
B.her lifelong watchword ：seriousness
C.publishing books on morals
D.enjoying books worth reading and movies worth seeing

Puality after-school programs are designed to improve academic
performance,decrease youth crimes and other high-risk be4haviors,and help young
people grow into healthy,successful adulis.
The effect of quality after-school programs on academic performance is
clear.Studies show that students who take part in such programs show better
woek habits,higher rates of homework completion ,improved grades , and higher
scores on achievement tests.They also have fewer absences and are liss likely
to blame.After-school progrome also influemce high-risk teen behavior.Various
studies show decreased rates of crime ,drug use ,and teen sex among youth who
join in well-run after-school proframs when compared to similar youth who do
not .Finally ,after-school p0rograms play sn important role in supporting the
following fields of development,mental development and social
development.Thus , one can safely say that after-school programming is an
effective method to help young people become contributing members of society.
Although there is enough proof from both smsll and large assessments that
after-school programs can make a positive difference,it is important to note
that not all programs are equal .First ,dosage（时量）matters —young people
who attend the most hours over the most years benefit more than members who
attend less often or over a shorter period of time.Next ,after-school programs
make a bigger difference for those students who need help most and have the
fewest choices.Finally,program qualities mattir .After-school programs work
best when they create uneqque opportunities for youth.They should provide
opportunities ,skill building meanignful involvement （ 参 与 ） ,expression
suggestion,service,and work.Staff characteristics make an important difference
in the quality of a program.The adults should treat youth as partners ,create
safe and fair environment,encourage personalized（个性化的）involvement,and
actively create learning opportunities.In short, although after-school programs
have promising future,how they are designed and tun matters.
