10、that would cause you to tears? Most of us tend to be attracted by stories that reach us on multiple levels, including sadness.

11、ving description of life in Afghanistan accounts for the people who were badly affected by the Taliban. Youll cry as you get to know the familial relationships and cruelty involved, but youll also get a sense of hope as you quickly read through this appealing novel.2. The Book ThiefLets put it this

12、way: Death itself is the narrator. The story is about a young girl named Liesel who has to live with foster parents during World War II.

13、 relationship with a young Jewish man she helps hide from the Nazis.3.

Earlier that evening I received a call from Missouri telling me that my brothers family had been

18、 killed in a car accident. “Come as soon as you can,” begged my mother. My husband Larry phoned a few friends to tell them what had happened. Occasionally, someone asked to speak to me. If theres anything I can do, please let me know, that person would offer kindly. “Thank you. Thank you very much,”

19、 Id reply. But I didnt know what to ask for. I was too confused to concentrate. Then the doorbell rang, I opened the door to see Emerson King standing on the doorway.“Ive come to clean your shoes,” he said, “I remember when my father died, it took me hours to get the childrens shoes cleaned for the

20、funeral. Give me all your shoes.”While I cleared the supper dishes, Emerson continued to work, saying nothing.Later, when I started to pack, I saw all our shoes stood in a line, shining, spotless and that even the bottoms had been brushed. I could put the shoes directly into the suitcases, knowing t

21、hey wouldnt dirty the clothes. We got to bed late and rose very early, but by the time we left for the airport, all the jobs were done. Now, whenever I hear of an acquaintance who has lost a loved one, I no longer call with the blurred offer, “If theres anything I can do.” Now I try to think of one

22、specific task that suits that persons need such as washing the family car, taking care of the dog, or house-sitting during the funeral. And if the person says to me, “How did you know I needed that done?” I reply, “Its because a man once cleaned my shoes.”24. Why did Emerson King choose to clean the

25、speaks louder than words. C. A faithful friend is hard to find. D. A good neighbor is better than a brother far away.CTwenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, th

26、e “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.The single factor contributing to this change is und

27、oubtedly the internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach a global audience, without having to enter a career in show business the traditional way.“In years gone by, the biggest stars were groomed(打扮) and trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera ca

28、n become an idol (偶像), ”a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said in a news release. “From fashion to comedy, these self-made stars document their hobbies to an adoring fan-base. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.”However, what

29、people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they ignore the fact that only those who are successful gain fame and fortune. For every success there are a hundred others who never get off the starting block. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that are bound to remain drea

30、ms.This is why despite the popularity of vloggers, some young people chose to follow careers that dont necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. Its an online

31、 platform for runners to keep a record of their races. He states that his job allows him to express his passion, and is always a learning experience. And thats enough for him.“Generations of today have so many more options and opportunities than older age groups and the internet and development of t

32、echnology have aided that growth,” said Phil Samuels, spokesperson for UK tech retailer Currys.28. The job that the British young people dream of is_.A. lawyerB. singerC. modelD. vlogger29. The British young people prefer a different career from the traditional because_.A.They can do nothing but mak

33、e full use of the internet B.the internet can help them become famous more easilyC.They expect to be recognized by the Hollywood in the endD.they want more of fame and fortune than the past generation30. The example of Israeli David Leshaw tells us that _.A.young people are too dependent on the inte

34、rnetB.those who make good use of the internet gain fameC.young people can show their hobbies via the internetD.those who make good use of the internet are more creative31. What is Phil Samuelss attitude towards the internet?A. opposed B. supportive C. critical D. doubtfulDThe values of artistic work

35、s, according to cultural relativism (相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespe

36、arean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries. Unique works of this kind are different from todays popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselv

37、es apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because the general principles of taste are uniform (不变的) in human nature, the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed t

38、hat Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary ps

39、ychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as

40、 the discovery by a great scientist.32. According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?A. It introduces different cultural values.B. It explains the history of artistic works.C. It relates artistic values to local conditions.D. It excites the human mind throughout the world.33.

41、In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _.A. great works of art can go beyond national boundariesB. history gives art works special appeal to set them apartC. popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great artsD. great artists are skilled at combining various cultures34.

42、According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because _.A. they are results of scientific studyB. they establish some general principles of art C. they are created by the worlds greatest artistsD. they appeal to unchanging features of human nature35. Which of the following can best se

43、rve as the title of the passage?A. Are Artistic Values Universal? B. Are Popular Arts Permanent?C. Is Human Nature Uniform? D. Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How does water shortage affect people? 36 . It is not that they will die of t
