You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps c

28、an be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports werent written until the final threat.Ive been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate work

29、ing toward her masters degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student (技校学生).Theyre called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, hes a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And

30、smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they dont often make school honor rolls.But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices dont have th

31、e abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts from a junkyard,

32、and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800.Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repair to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke

33、and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don need clones

36、, wildlife biologists are looking at how climate change affects something very small: the snowshoe hare.Life for snowshoe hares is pretty stressful 一 almost everything in the forest wants to eat them. Alex Kumar, a graduate student at the University of Montana, lists the animals that are hungry for

37、hares. “Lynx, foxes, coyotes, . even red squirrels.”Kumar and field technician Tucker Seitz spend months searching these woods for hares, often listening for signals from hares theyve already put radio collars on.They catch other hares with wire traps about the size of a breadbox, with some apple as

38、 bait (诱饵). Most of the hares they track live less than a year a hazard (风险）of being what Kumar calls “the cheeseburger of the ecosystem”.But snowshoe hares have a special skill: camouflage. Theyre brown during the summer, but turn white for the snowy winter months.“Theres times when youre tracking

39、them and you know theyre really, really dose, and you just cant find them,” he says.Hares switch color in the spring and fall in response to light, when the days get longer or shorter. But if the snow comes late, you get a white hare on brown ground.“And they really think that theyre camouflaged,” K

40、umar says. “They act like we cant see them.”Kumar calls this “mismatching,” and its becoming more of a concern with climate change.“If the hares are consistently molting (脱毛) at the same time, year after year, and the snowfall comes later and melts earlier, theres going to be more and more times whe

41、n hares are mismatched,” he says.Scott Mills of North Carolina State University leads the research. He says theyre finding that mismatched hares die at higher rates. Thats a concern for the threatened Canada lynx, which mainly eats these hares.“Its a very clear connection to a single climate change

42、stressor,” Mills says.Hares might be able to adapt over time. Some snowshoe hares in Washington State dont turn white at all. Mills is trying to figure out whether hares and other wildlife can adapt as fast as the climate is changing.“But how fast is too fast?” he asks.53. The word “camouflage”（Para

43、graph 6) is closest in meaning to .A. escapingB. hidingC. fightingD. scaring54. According to the passage, snowshoe hares can now be easily discovered by their enemies because they .A. change their fur color to white too lateB. havent adapted to climate changeC. can no longer adapt to the change of l

44、ight in spring and fallD. find it more and more difficult to molt at the same time each year 55. Which best describes Mills tone in the passage?A. Approving.B. Enthusiastic. C. Concerned.D. Doubtful.CNelle Harper Lee better known by her pen name Harper Lee, was an American novelist widely known for

45、To Kill a Mockingbird, published in 1960. Immediately successful, it won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modem American literature. In 1991 an organization conducted a survey that made readers identify books that had “made a difference” in their lives. The result? Lees book trail

46、ed only The Bible. Alongside the works of Shakespeare and Twain, this novel remains one of the most widely taught books nationwide, reaching about 70% of American public schools. What makes it such a typical read for young people?English class is a place where young Americans come to know themselves

47、. In the folds of dusty books, students can make contact with humanity beyond the shallow small talk of the school hallways. Disturbed by hormones (荷尔蒙）and anxiety, teenagers get through school with confusion and frustration. Literature is a safety valve (安全阀）一 it promises relief, a place to figure

48、out ones problems and get to know oneself better.The novel particularly distinguishes itself in this aspect. It speaks in a childs voice without treating its readership as children. Some critics have called it an “impossible” achievement, a childrens book penned by a well-educated adult its unlikely

49、 that a child like Scout could exist in the real world. But thats exactly what makes it such a charming, attractive read for young people. It indicates the consciousness of a well-educated adult facing difficult realities, but describes it through the light and playful voice of a curious little girl

50、.Gaby Hick, a third- year student focused on English literature at Brown University, calls it one of the first books that kids and young adults read that deals with serious issues 一 rape, race, mental issues”. She adds, “The story makes these adult themes accessible because of Scout.” The books sett

51、ing, a small town in Alabama affected by the Great Depression of the 1930s, may appear very different from the experience of most kids reading it today. But Lees words make her story feel alive and present.In 2006, however, critic Thomas Mallon expressed his regret about the books avoiding complexit

52、y in The New Yorker. But her novel makes a great teaching tool for teenagers precisely because its moral view is as clear as that of one of Aesops Fables. That absence of ambiguity (含糊其辞）in this novel doesnt mean the novel is free of challenging ideas, either. Will Serratelli, another literature stu

53、dent at Brown says, “There arent many hard moral questions being asked but it opens up all these other questions that 1 hadnt thought about before. My English teachers always asked, Do you sympathize (同情）with this character? Would you want to hang out with them? When you give a kid a book where thos

54、e questions dont even need to be asked, it forces them to dig deeper.” Mallons criticism is accurate in that this novel may present too limited a view of racism in America. Thats especially problematic because it is one of the only books consistently assigned to American students that acknowledges (

55、承认）racial discrimination (歧视）at all. However, To Kill a Mockingbird may owe some of its popularity as a teaching text to the fact that the narrative voice is a white one. Naomi Vamis, an African Studies student at Brown says, “Its another practice of telling stories about black people through white

56、central characters,” she says.While the novel is undoubtedly worth its place in the classroom, English teachers may do well to consider that it is a white authors perspective and ought to be the only beginning of a dialogue about race and never the final word. But as a gateway to more mature ideas,

57、and as a YA(young adult) distillation (提炼）of complex concepts young people may not have grasped before, Lees novel is invaluable.56. According to the passage, the novel To Kill a Mockingbird can help us .A. reduce much anxiety for fear of losing ourselvesB. understand what the real personality of hu

58、man isC. know more about the past U.S. economic situationD. find and deal with some other complicated questions57. What does the underlined word “trailed” most probably mean in Paragraph 1 ?A. Was as good as.B. Tried hard to defeat.C. Went along the same route as.D. Had a lower score than.58. What c

The kids tend to sympathize with the characters.D. The kids are motivated to think further.59. Why is the novel well rec

60、eived by teenagers in the U.S.?A. Because it reveals racial discrimination in America.B. Because a white author tells the stories about black people.C. Because it makes some serious adult issues accessible.D. Because it is widely used as a tool for moral judgments in society.60. What is the authors
