As we didnt always have access to a reliable car, walking hand in hand was the most convenient way to get

18、anywhere. It was at story time for children that both my mother and I made lasting friendships.Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Cold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Childrens Library. My 18-month-old son, Colin, and I find ourselves in Sea

19、Cliff several times a week, meeting and making friends. Well, that is what many people dont understanda library is more than books; its a community.Sure, the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume novels. But it was also the place where I got my first email add

20、ress in 1997. At the library, friends and I learned how to research colleges and search for scholarships on the Internet. The library was the place where we sometimes giggled (咯咯笑) too loudly, and where the librarians knew us by name. Their knowing our names wasnt a bad thing. When I came home from

21、my first term at Binghamton University, Mary LaRosa, the librarian at the Franklin Square library, offered me my first teaching job.I now teach reading at Nassau Community College. My students are often amazed that they can check out books via their smartphones and virtually (虛擬地) visit a variety of

22、 Long Island libraries. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library, makes their homework easier by helping them find resources. Even though they cant always easily visit their local libraries, the library is always with them.24. Why does the author con

25、nt.B. To express her deep love for libraries.C. To explain how libraries change.D. To introduce her favorite libraries.CWhen we meet someone for the first time, we usually get a vague sense of what kind of person they are by the way they shake hands, talk, or walk. In the age of social networking, h

26、owever, first impressions are sometimes made even before we actually meet someone in personthat is, by looking at their profile photo.According to a recent study, these social images say a lot about our personality. In the study, presented in a paper at the International AAAI Conference on Web and S

27、ocial Media, a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in the US used software to analyze the profile pictures of 66,000 users of US social platform Twitter and 3,200 of their tweets. At the same time, about 434 participants were asked to complete a survey about their personality ty

28、pe. The researchers wanted to find out if there was a connection between personality traitslike openness, extroversion, and neuroticism(神經(jīng)質(zhì))and a persons profile picture.According to the results, open people are more likely to pose in an unusual way and use objects such as glasses or a guitar in the

29、ir profile photo because they enjoy new and exciting experiences. Meanwhile, neurotic people often hold back their negative emotions. They try to avoid showing their face；Instead, they use an image of something like a pet, a car or a building.Apart from the objects in profile pictures, the colors us

30、ed in them also give us some hints about the photos owner. For example, extraverts were found to have the most colorful profile images, as they want to emphasize their personality and show themselves off, the researchers wrote.Although social media photos “usually represent an extension of ones self

31、, they also allow a user to shape his or her own personality and idealized view,” according to the researchers. So, when choosing a profile photo, maybe we should ask ourselves first what kind of image wed like to convey. After all, first impressions always last.28. What helps form the first impress

32、ions with the development of network?A. Shaking hands.B. Greetings.C. Profile pictures.D. Gestures.29. Whats the purpose of the study?A. To analyze the users preference.B. To conduct a survey about personality type.C. To explore the formation of first impression.D. To seek out the link between chara

33、cters and profile photos.30. According to the study, an outgoing person may_.A. choose a puppy dog as an image.B. share a distinct pose in his photo.C. fill his profile photo with light colors.D. care little about his image.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Be Mindful of Your Personality.B.

34、 Make Use of Your Social Image.C. First Impressions Make a Difference.D. Profile Photos Reveal Your Personality.DHow affordable is high culture? One great myth of our time is that tickets for opera, theatre, ballet and orchestral (管弦樂) concerts are too expensive, especially for the young. This is in

35、furiating as, in Britain, at least, the claim is ridiculous and offensive. The cheap tickets to hear Londons orchestras range from 7 to 9same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs. For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra performs wi

36、th top soloists and conductors the cheapest seat is 30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic, its an expensive 46.Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isnt so easy. True. British companies dont charge the ridiculous high prices found on the Continent (2,000 for a good seat at a premiere of La Sca

37、las Carmen last December), but the tickets are still pretty steep. Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that. Luckily, however, one spectacular technological innovation has transformed the scene. Its live (or slightly delayed) cinema transmissions. The New York Metropolitan Opera no

38、w beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the world, and British companies arent far behind. Cinematic opera is excellent value. For the cost of a good bottle of wine (10 or 15 for the Royal Opera Houses shows) you can sit in your local movie-house and see a high-definition relay of whats occurring on

39、the worlds grandest stages. No, its not the same as being there, but its almost as good. The sound is incredible. The images, particularly of dancers, are fantastic. And you can react to the show as part of a live audience, rather than sitting on your own at home.To me, this mountain of evidence, to

40、gether with free museum admissions, indicates that the arts world should stop worrying that its audiences are still mostly middle-class. Anyone who can afford to visit a pub can also afford to see top-quality drama, music and dance. The real battle now should be ensuring that school children are giv

41、en enough tastes of high culture to make them want to buy all those cheap tickets when they grow up.32. What does the underlined word infuriating in paragraph 1 mean?A. Quite interesting.B. Very annoying.C. Not certain.D. Extremely obvious.33. What is the main reason for expensive opera tickets?A. T

42、he amount of money charged by top performers.B. The costly technology required for broadcast.C. The demand of companies for big profits.D. The high cost of renting the stages.34. Which of the following is true about cinematic opera?A. People can decide where to watch the opera.B. Audiences are disco

43、uraged from responding to the performances.C. It provides an inexpensive way of enjoying a live opera performance.D. The sound and visual quality are superior to the live performance.35. Which statement would the author agree with?A. The quality of opera performances is improving.B. High culture is

44、becoming more affordable in Europe.C. The cost of access to high culture activities should be lowered.D. Children should be encouraged to participate in high culture events.第二節(jié) (共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。The history of writing instruments, with which humans have r

45、ecorded and conveyed thoughts and feelings, is the history of civilization itself. This is how we know about our ancestors and their life.The handy sharpened-stone was adapted into the first writing instrument. Around 24,000 BC, the cave man started drawing pictures with the stone onto the walls of

46、his cave. 36 Walls at the Apollo site in Namibia are believed to be the oldest rock paintings to date.Before paper came along, people used clay or wax tablets on which they wrote with sharp objects such as metal sticks or bones. Around 6000 years ago, the Egyptians invented the first paper-like mate

47、rial called papyrus. The word “paper” actually comes from the word “papyrus”.37 Bones or metal sticks were no longer useful as the papyrus could not be scratched. So the Egyptians created a reed-pen perfect for the papyrus. 38 And thus, ancient Egyptians transformed bamboo stems (莖) into an early fo

48、rm of a fountain pen.Another writing instrument that remained active in history for a long period was the quill (鵝毛) pen. Introduced around 700 AD, the quill was a pen made from a bird feather. Goose feathers were most common. 39 For making fine line drawings, crow feathers were the best.When writer

49、s had better inks and paper and handwriting had developed into both an art form and an everyday occurrence, mans inventive nature once again turned to improving the writing instrument. 40A. Now something was needed to write upon the papyrus.B. The papyrus became the most popular material at that tim

50、e.C. Swan feathers were of a high quality, being rare and most expensive.D. Bamboo stems were better and much more expensive than goose feathers.E. This led to the development of the modem fountain pen in the 19th century.F. These were mostly the stems of grasses, especially from the bamboo plant.G.

51、 These drawings showed events in daily life like the planting of crops or hunting victories.第三部分 語(yǔ)言知識(shí)運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分30分）第一節(jié) 完形填空（共15小題；每小題1分，滿分15分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。My education started in a small village of India, I did not have any English then. When I discovered that famous no

52、velist George Orwell was born in Motihari, it made me wonder if I could be a writer too. That day, it became my 41 .My father opened up the world of books for me. I must have been seven or eight, when he first 42 me to a Hindi (印地語(yǔ)) storybook. When dad was reading the book for me, I was 43 with the

53、stories. By the time I was in Grade 10, I had finished reading hundreds of novels. Also, my private tutor made me believe that it was 44 for me to learn the language. After 10 months with her, I started reading picture books in English.Two years later, I began to read my first English novel. Then I

54、realized that I should try writing newspaper articles, improve my skills and then progress to longer forms. I 45 a couple of Hindi newspapers with my writing but was promptly turned down. They said my article didnt 46 their standards. I was so 47 that I doubted my ability. At this time, I met kind-h

55、earted Daniel who published my first article after heavy editing. It was an important turning point for me, my 48 as a writer began.After writing a dozen articles and reviews, I knew it was finally time to plan my novel.Creating the plot was really 49 for me. But I managed to write the first 50 of m

56、y novel! Full of 51 , I sent it to Mary Mount, a famous editor right away. My submission was 52 again, but I was still grateful just to hear from her.One year later, I finished my writing work again. I contacted another editor. A month later, the feed-back landed on my table, 53 it was desperate, to

57、 put it mildly. I cried, believing Id never get it published.When I shared it with my friend, her feedback and support helped me improve my manuscript further. Then I submitted it to a few publishers and a few days later, I got a call from a publisher. To my delight, he informed me that my book woul

58、d be published. What surprised me was that a few production houses had expressed interest in my novel. One of the directors even intended to 54 it for the screen. It is 55 my effort and the encouragement from my family and friend, after 21 years struggling, that eventually I fulfilled my dream.41Adr
