第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）The news of Harper Lee’s second novel broke the internet. Go Set a Watchman would be published in July. Lee became a recluse (隐士)after the publication of her first book, To Kill a Mockingbird, in 1960. Although the author has been out of the public eye for more than 1 years, the wave that followed the announcement showed her novel’s beloved place in the American literary works.
In 1991, The Book of the Month Club and the library of Congress conducted a survey that made readers identify books that had made a difference in their lives. Lee’s book followed only The Bible. Alongside the works of Shakespeare and Twain, To Kill a Mockingbird remains one of the most widely taught books nationwide, reaching an estimated 70% of American public schools. What makes it such a perfect read for young people?
English class is a place where young Americans come to know themselves. In the folds of dusty books, students can make contact with humanity beyond the superficial(肤浅的) conversations of the school hallways. Literature promises relief, a place to figure out one’s problems and get to know oneself better.
To Kill a Mockingbird particularly distinguishes itself in this regard. It speaks in child’s voice without treating its readership as children. People have called it an ‘impossible’ achievement, a children’s book penned in the prose(散文) of a well-educated adult—it’s unlikely that a child like Scout could exist in the real world. But that’s exactly what makes it such a charming read for young people. It alludes to (转弯抹角地说到)the consciousness of a well-educated adult going through difficult realities, but shows it through the light and playful voice of a curious little girl.
1、In which year might Go Set a Watchman come out?
A．2015 B．1960
C．1910 D．1991
2、Which book leaves the deepest impression on American readers?
A．Go Set a Watchman B．To Kill a Mockingbird
C．The Bible D．Shakespeare’s works
3、Which of the following statements is right about To Kill a Mockingbird?
A．Its author may be a playful child.
B．It’s a story about a well-educated adult.
C．Young people can see themselves from it.
D．It’s impossible for children like Scout to exist.
4、What is the best title for the text?
A．The Great Writer: Harper Lee B．The Great Young People Novel
C．Voices from Children D．Differences Harper Lee made
22．（8分） The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is, great talent is not enough.
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100, 000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, "They are one skill away from great wealth."
There is an old saying that goes, "Job means" just over broke ". And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers" live within their means". They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.
When I ask the classes I teach, "How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, "So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?" The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems. The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on bui1ding a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.
1、The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that .
A．he has a sharp sense of hearing B．he is ready to help others
C．he is just one of the talented people D．he knows little about car repairing
2、The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by “ ”
A．spend more than they can afford B．do in their own way
C．live in their own circle D．live within what they earn
3、Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?
A．They lack financial intelligence. B．They don’t work hard enough.
C．They don’t make full use of their talents. D．They have no specialized skills.
4、The main purpose of the author is to tell us .
A．how young people can find a satisfactory job B．what schools should teach students
C．how McDonald’s makes much money. D．why so many talented people are poor
23．（8分） An unconventional new initiative(首创)in Canada will soon allow doctors to prescribe art to their patients—by giving them free access to a local museum.Wandering through the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts(MMFA)，these patients and their loved ones will be able to feast their eyes on the peaceful collections of art.
The initiative is the first of its kind in the world.And while you certainly can’t replace a conventional treatment with a couple of paintings，the idea is for such“prescriptions”to assist a person’s current treatment plan.Under the new program，members of the Francophone Association of Doctors in Canada(MFDC)will be able to hand out up to 50 prescriptions for their patients.
These prescriptions will be available for those with a wide range of mental and physical illnesses，and each of them will allow two adults and two children to visit the museum for free.
“By offering free admission to a safe，welcoming place，a relaxing experience，a moment of relief，and an opportunity to strengthen ties with loved ones，MMFA—MFDC Museum Prescriptions contribute to the patient’s well-being and recovery，”explains a news conference from the MMFA．
It may look a lot like a marketing effort for the museum but there’s also increasing evidence that the display of visual art，especially if it’s showing nature，can have positive effects on health outcomes.
In some ways，the benefits of looking at art appear a little similar to physical activity.A systematic review of clinical art therapy(疗法) found that visual art has significant and positive effects on depression，anxiety，mood，and self-esteem.Findings like these are slowly gaining attraction in the medical community，making artwork a higher priority(优先)in hospitals around the world.
In the US，nearly half of all health care institutions have reported including art in health care programming，such as art therapy and the placement of visual art in hospitals.With spaces dedicated(专用的)to art therapy and also a medical consultation room，the MMFA already provides services for people with mental health issues，eating disorders，and Alzheimer’s disease，just to name a few.
1、How will some Canadian doctors treat their patients?
A．Introducing fine arts to their patients.
B．Feasting them in a peaceful and welcoming place.
C．Keeping them company through the Montreal Museum.
D．Giving them a prescription to access a local museum for free.
2、MMFA thinks the new initiative in Canada can be_______.
A．a help with patients’recovery B．a chance to make friends
C．the best option for the treatment plan D．a substitute for conventional treatment
3、Why does the museum join in the program?
A．To make visual art known to the public. B．To promote the museum into market.
C．To strengthen ties with doctors. D．To advance the science of medicine.
4、What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Fine arts will take the place of medicine.
B．Artists rarely suffer from some mental diseases.
C．More than 50 prescriptions are available for patients.
D．Art will be included in Canadian doctors’prescriptions.
24．（8分） In his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great wordsmith （语言大师）and playwright （剧作家）.But he was not the only great master of dramatic writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.
While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered China’s greatest playwright and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.
Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan, Jiangxi province, and pursued a low-key career as an official until, in 1598 and aged 49, he retired to focus on writing. Unlike Shakespeare’s large body of plays, poems and sonnets （十四行诗），Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin （《紫钗记》），Peony Pavilion （《牡丹亭》），A Dream under the Southern Bough （《南柯记》，and Dream of Handan（《邯郸记》. The Peony Pavilion is considered Tang’s masterpiece The latter three are constructed around a dream narrative, a device through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political restrictions of that time.
Tang lived toward the end of the Ming Dynasty（1368—1644）and the popularity of his works had a good reason. Similar to Shakespeare, his success rode the wave of a renaissance （复兴）in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare’s England, Tang’s works became hugely popular in China too. During Tang’s China, the way, in which playlets were enjoyed and performed, changed. Kunqu opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southern China to the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang’s works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu opera, and his playlets are considered classics of kunqu opera.
While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such as the humanity of their drama, their iconic and heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.
1、How is the text developed?
A．By analyzing data. B．By giving examples.
C．By providing arguments. D．By making comparisons.
2、What’s the most outstanding feature of Tang’s works according to Paragraph 3 ?
A．They are love stories based on real events.
B．They reflect political environment at that time.
C．They focus on discovering human emotions.
D．They are mainly about dreams of females.
3、What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Led to. B．Called up.
C．Set off. D．Benefited from.
4、What’s the best title for the text?
A．Tang Xianzu—The Shakespeare of China
B．Kunqu Opera——A Symbol of Chinese Culture
C．Tang Xianzu and His Work——The Peony Pavilion
D．Shakespeare and His Influence on Chinese Theater

Can you understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on the Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language.
School teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming (破坏) the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students’ writing. They fear the language could become corrupted (面目全非的).
Everyone should just relax, say
