（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AI don’t know how I became a writer, but I think it was because of a certain force in me that had to write and that finally burst through and found a channel. My people were of the working class of people. My father, a stone-cutter, was a man with a great respect and veneration(崇敬) for literature. He had a tremendous memory, and he loved poetry, and the poetry that he loved best was naturally of the rhetorical kind that such a man would like. Nevertheless it was good poetry, Hamlet’s Soliloquy, Macbeth, Mark Antony’s “Funeral Oration”, Grey’s “Elegy”, and all the rest of it. I heard it all as a child; I memorized and learned it all.He sent me to college to the state university. The desire to write, which had been strong during all my days in high school, grew stronger still. I was editor of the college paper, the college magazine, etc. , and in my last year or two I was a member of a course in playwriting which had just been established there. I wrote several little one-act plays, still thinking I would become a lawyer or a newspaper man, never daring to believe I could seriously become a writer. Then I went to Harvard, wrote some more plays there, became obsessed with（着迷于）the idea that I had to be a playwright, left Harvard, had my plays rejected, and finally in the autumn of 1926, how, why, or in what manner I have never exactly been able to determine. But probably because the force in me that had to write at length sought out its channel, I began to write my first book in London, I was living all alone at that time. I had two rooms－a bedroom and a sitting room－in a litter square in Chelsea in which all the houses had that familiar, smoked brick and cream-yellow-plaster look.21.We may conclude, in regard to the author’s development as a writer, that his father _________.A.made an important contributionB.insisted that he choose writing as a careerC. opposed his becoming a writerD.insisted that he read Hamlet in order to learn how to be a writer22. The author believes that he became a writer mostly because of _________.A. his special talentB. his father's teaching and encouragementC.his study at HarvardD. a hidden urge within him23. What can we learn about the author’s life in the autumn of 1926?A. He left Harvard and got married.B. He couldn’t make up his mind what to do .C. He started his dream as a writer.D.He began to think seriously what to do.BA home school is a school in which parents educate their children at home instead of sending them out to a public or private school. Home schooling is legal throughout Europe, Australia, New Zealand, North America, Hong Kong, and South Africa. Home schooling is most popular in Canada, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Home schooling is legally accepted in all 50 states of the US, but each state has its own laws about it. Currently, it is estimated that over one million families teach their children at home. Most of these families include a breadwinner and a stay-at-home parent who does most of the teaching, although there are single parent families and double career families.Home schooling education models range from unschooling to traditional classroom schooling. Unschooling is based on interest-based learning in which the child expresses interest in a particular subject, and the parents take steps to provide the materials for that subject.In some places, the home school group shares in hiring a professional teacher to teach a particular subject. The group may also arrange field trips and sports activities with local private schools. These activities are intended to provide social skills for the students.Home school families take advantage of technology and the Internet to supplement (补充) traditional teaching. Some home school families enroll (注册) their children in an online school or course as a supplement to their own teaching.Some home school families teach their children through high school graduation. Others teach their children until they feel they are mature (成熟) enough to live independently.In America colleges do recognize a home school diploma (文凭) , but most are more interested in high school transcripts （成绩报告单） and SAT and ACT scores. There are currently over 800 colleges that accept home-schooled graduates including Harvard, Yale, and Stanford.24.A home school is a school where __________.A. parents provide social skills for their childrenB. children needn’t take any testsC. parents teach their children at homeD. children can go home every day25.In the education model of unschooling,_____________.A. children are taught in traditional waysB. children don’t need any textbooksC. special attention is paid to children’s interestD. everything is decided by children’s parents26.We can know from the passage that_____________.A. home schooling is only popular in developed countriesB.children in a home school have no contacts with other studentsC.a home school diploma is not accepted by colleges in AmericaD.some children in a home school also take courses online27.Famous universities like Harvard, Yale, and Stanford ______________.A. are only interested in accepting public school graduatesB. also take in students with a home school diplomaC.never enroll home-schooled graduatesD. also provide home school educationCI was in my third year of teaching writing at Ralph High School in New York, when one of my students，15-year-old Mikey，gave me a note from his mother．It explained his absence from class the day before：“Dear Mr. McCort，Mikey’s grandmother，who is eighty years of age，fell down the stairs from too much coffee and I kept Mikey at home to take care of her and his baby sister so I couldn’t go to my job. Please excuse Mikey and he’ll do his best in the future．P．S．His grandmother is OK．”I had seen Mikey writing the note at his desk．I said nothing．Most parental-excuse note, I received were penned by my students．The writers of those notes didn’t realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull: “Peter was late because the alarm clock didn’t go off．”The students always said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject, but when they produced excuse notes, they were excellent．So I decided to give the first class to study the art of the excuse note．“Today I’d like you to write ‘An Excuse Note from Adam to God’ or ‘An Excuse Note from Eve to God’．”Heads went down．Pens raced across paper．They had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends．The next day everyone had excuse notes．Heated discussions followed．But suddenly I saw the headmaster at the door．He entered the classroom and walked up and down，looking at papers，and then said．“I’d like you to see me in my office．”My heart sank．When I stepped into his office，he came to shake my hand and said，“I just want to tell you that lesson, that ask, was great．Those kids were writing on the college level．Thank you.”28．We can inter that when Mikey was absent from the class, he wasA. somewhere enjoying himselfB. taking care of his baby sisterC. looking after his grandmotherD. studying the art of the excuse note29. How did the author usually find out his students’ parental-excuse notes were dishonest? A．They were written in dull words．B．They were more like stories than facts．C．He called their parents and found out the truth．D. The handwriting obviously looked like children’s．30．From the 5th paragraph we knowA．the kids were afraid of GodB．it was too difficult a task for the kidsC．the kids were very interested in the taskD. none of the kids had lunch that day31．Why did the author’s heart sink?A．He thought the headmaster would scold him．B. The heated discussions angered the headmaster．C. The students were not behaving themselves．D．The headmaster was looking at his students’ papers．DSomeday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Website you’ve visited，Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it’s likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girl friend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen — the 21st century replacement of being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs(碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no” .When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a strong bad feeling about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me” .But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements.And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will give away personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠券).But privacy does matter —at least sometimes. It’s like health: When you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.32. What does the author mean by saying “the 21st century replacement of being caught naked”?A. People’s personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.B. In the 21st century people try every means to look into others’secrets.C. People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.D. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.33.What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends.D. There should be fewer arguments between friends.34. Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret”？A. Modern society has finally developed into an open society.B. People leave traces around when using modern technology.C. There are always people who are curious about others’ affairs.D. Many search engines benefit from giving away people's identities.35. What do most Americans do as for privacy protection?A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.B. They use various loyalty cards for business transactions(交易).C. They rely most and more on electronic devices.D. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.第二节：七选五Talkative kids can sometimes be a headache for parents, but the willingness to speak aloud and often is considered as a positive thing.___36_________.
