Hed need a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on this special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks (缺点) of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.1、The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _.Aprovide some key facts about ConfuciusBattract the readers interest in the subjectCshow great respect for the ancient thinkerDprove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations2、We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students _.Ahave a great interest in studying ChineseBtake an active part in Chinese competitionsCtry to get high scores in Chinese examsDfight for a chance to learn Chinese3、What is t he best title for the passage?AForgotten Wisdom in AmericaBHuge Fans of the Chinese LanguageCChinese Culture for WesternersDOld Thinker with a Big Future23（8分）OPENINGS AND PREVIEWSAntlia PneumaticaIn a new play by Anne Washburn, directed by Ken Rus Schmoll, a group of estranged friends gather at a Texas farm house to bury one of their peers.

He appears regularly on radio, TV and in print. His latest book Dynasty is published in paperback by Abacus.Moominsummer MadnessBy Tove JansoonWhat I love about this book, as a child and still today, is its mix of the fantastical and normal. On the one hand, its about a family and their friends all enjoying themselves, quite happy not doing much. On the other hand, its about characters that can change into odd shapes, magicians coming down from the moon and peculiar creatures emerging from the roof. That mix of the familiar and the extraordinary informs all my writing.The HistoriesBy HerodoTusBy the time I was 12, I was obsessed by Ancient Greece and Rome. At first, I found the early section of The Histories a real grind because its like a long shaggy dog story that never gets to the point.In the second half I was rewarded with the stories Id been waiting for, like the battles of Marathon, Salamis and Thermopylae. Over the years, I come to value the infectious curiosity of the first half and the portrait of the world in the fifth century BC seen through the eyes of this extraordinary Greek historian.A Distant MirrorBy BarBara W TucHmanTuchmans book The Guns of August won the Pulitzer Prize, but its this slightly less well-known work that provided me with a role model for my own writing. Both scholarly and interesting, its a portrait of the 14th century in Western Europe and vividly evokes medieval civilization buffeted by cataclysms: the Black Death, the Peasants Revolt and the Great Papal Schism. I felt I knew what it was to die of the plague or to have a sword put through me real stories told remarkably436、Tom Holland now finds the first half of The Histories _.Aoff the pointBculture-centeredCreally boringDquite entertaining1、Which book does Tom Holland appreciate and try to copy its style?AThe HistoriesBA Distant MirrorCThe Guns of AugustDMoominsummer Madness第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项26（30分） A couple in ordinary clothes walked into the Harvards outer office. “We want to see the president,” the man said softly. “He will be busy all day,” the secretary spoke 1 , concluding that the couple had no 2 with Harvard from what they wore. “Well 3 ,” the lady replied.Four hours, the secretary 4 them, hoping that the couple would finally become 5 and go away.
