B. A Gate at the Stairs
"A Gate at the Stairs" is writer Lorrie Moore's first book in over ten years. It takes place in 2001 shortly after the terrorist attacks on America. It tells about a young girl named Tassie who attends college in the Midwest. She takes a job as a babysitter for a woman and her husband who have adopted a child of mixed race. It is a funny, sad and emotional story about marriage, race, family, terrorism and war.
C. The Magicians and The Magic King
Take one part Harry Potter, another part The Chronicles of Narnia, plus some new parts all the author’s own, season them liberally with adult themes — these are definitely not books for children — and you have this most readable, imaginative pair from author Grossman. Quentin Coldwater passes the entrance exam for Brakebills magic college and learns to master the art thereof, while also learning that “Fillory,” the fantasy world of his favorite book series as a child, is real. But there are demons within and without, and the life of magic and adventure isn’t always a happy one.
D. Bear
Few animals are as closely associated with humans as bears. Tracing the evolution of the bear family, the author discusses extinct types, such as the cave bear and the giant short-faced bear, as well as describing the eight species that exist. It explores the bear-human relationship and how human perceptions of bears have changed over time. Drawing from cultures around the world, it discusses the various legends and myths, including the ceremonies and taboos that surround hunting, killing and eating bears. "Bear" will appeal to all those interested in the past, present and future of these extraordinary creatures.
E. Cutting for Stone
"Cutting for Stone" was written by the medical doctor and writer Abraham Verghese. It is a powerful story about twin brothers born in a Catholic hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Their mother, an Indian nurse at the hospital, dies in childbirth. Their father, a British doctor, flees as soon as they are born. The brothers are raised by two Indian doctors who live at the hospital. One brother later moves to the United States. This is a story about the extremes of love, family, and medicine.

A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man--the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.
This attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the near- by bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.From Paragraph 1 , we can know that in America
| A.people tend to have a high opinion of the self--made man |
| B.people can always rise to the top through their own efforts |
| C.college professors win great respect from common workers |
| D.people feel painful to mention their fathers as laborers |
According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because
| A.servants in America are hard to get |
| B.she takes pride in what she can do herself |
| C.she can hardly afford servants |
| D.it is easy to prepare a meal with canned food |
The expression "wait on table" in the second paragraph means
| A.work in a furniture shop |
| B.keep accounts for a bar |
| C.wait to lay the table |
| D.serve customers in a restaurant |
Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?
| A.A Respectable Self--made Family |
| B.American Attitude toward Manual Labor |
| C.Characteristics of American Culture |
| D.The Development of Manual Labor |

About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy — who could not have been more than seven or eight years old — replied. “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed (确认) my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.
Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?
Human development is depended not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation (诱惑) , many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.
| A.a sure sign of a mental problem in a child |
| B.a mental state present in all humans, including children |
| C.something that cannot be avoided in children’s mental development |
| D.something hardly to be expected in a young child |
Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________.
| A.through connection with society |
| B.gradually and under guidance |
| C.naturally without being taught |
| D.through watching television |
According to the author, that today’s children seem adultlike results from ______.
| A.the widespread influence of television |
| B.the poor arrangement of teaching content |
| C.the fast pace of human scientific development |
| D.the rising standard of living |
What does the author think of communication through print for children?
| A.It enables children to gain more social information. |
| B.It develops children’s interest in reading and writing. |
| C.It helps children to read and write well. |
| D.It can control what children are to learn. |
What does the author think of the change in today’s children?
| A.He feels their adultlike behavior is so funny. |
| B.He thinks the change worthy of note. |
| C.He considers it a rapid development. |
| D.He seems to be upset about it. |
On Nov. 18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.
If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him. He was stricken with polio(小儿麻痹症) as a child, and so he has braces(支架) on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches(双拐).
He walks painfully, yet majestically (庄严地), until he reaches his chair. Then he sits down, slowly, puts his crutches on the floor, undoes the clasps on his legs, tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward. Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin, nods to the conductor and proceeds to play.
But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars(小节), one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it snap(嘣断)——it went off like gunfire across the room. There was no mistaking what that meant. There was no mistaking what he had to do.
We figured that he would have to get up, put on the clasps again, pick up the crutches and limp his way off stage——to either find another violin or else find another string for this one. But he didn’t. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again.
The orchestra began, and he played from where he had left off. And he played with such passion and such power and such purity as they had never heard before.
When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered. He smiled, wiped the sweat from this brow, raised his bow to quiet us, and then he said in a quiet tone, “You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.”By saying “getting on stage is no small achievement for him”, the author really means ___.
| A.it’s very difficult for Itzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings |
| B.it’s not easy for Itzhak Perlman to get on the stage because he is disabled |
| C.it’s not easy for Itzhak Perlman to face such a large audience |
| D.it’s really great achievements for Itzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings |
When one of the strings broke, people thought Itzhak Perlman would __________.
| A.go on playing with the remaining three strings |
| B.give up playing |
| C.change or repair his violin |
| D.get off the stage with shame |
Itzhak Perlman ___________ when one of the strings of the violin broke.
| A.gave up playing |
| B.didn’t know what to do |
| C.went on playing the same piece of music |
| D.went on playing a different piece of music |
What did the audience feel when Itzhak Perlman finished playing?
| A.Moved | B.Surprised |
| C.Disappointed | D.Satisfied |
Itzhak Perlman can be best described as a man who is ____________.
| A.clever | B.strong willed |
| C.humourous | D.quite skilled |
