    Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I   31  asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so   32 . He had his wisdom teeth removed. Then the young man asked me why I   33  seemed to be so cheerful.
    His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about   34  you want to approach life that day,” I said. “I choose to be cheerful.”
    “Let me give you an example.   35  teaching here, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day, I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I   36  the freeway and turned onto College Drive, only another quarter mile ahead to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine   37  turn over. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and marched down the road to the college.”
    “  38  getting there I called AAA and arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary asked me what had happened. ‘This is my lucky day,’ I replied, smiling.”
    “ ‘Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?’ She was   39 . ‘What do you mean?’ ’’ “I live 17 miles from here.” I replied. “My car   40  have broken down   41  along the freeway. It didn’t.   42 , it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway,   43  walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class.”
    “The secretary’s eyes opened wide, and then she    44 . I smiled back and headed for class.” So ended my story.
    I scanned the sixty faces in my class. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be   45 . Somehow, my story had touched them.

    Nineteenth-century writers in the United States, whether they wrote novels, short stories, poems or plays, were powerfully drawn to the railroad in its golden years. In fact, writers responded to the railroads as soon as the first were built in the 1830’s. By the 1850’s, the railroad was a major presence in the life of the nation. Writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David saw the railroad both as a boon(要求) to democracy(民主国家) and as an object of suspicion. The railroad could be and was a despoiler(掠夺者) of nature, furthermore, in its manifestation of speed and noise. It might be a despoiler of human nature as well. By the 1850’s and 1860’s, there was a great distrust among writer and intellectuals of the rapid industrialization of which the railroad was a leading force. Deeply philosophical historians such as Henry Adams lamented the role that the new frenzy for business was playing in eroding traditional values. A distrust of industry and business continued among writers throughout the rest of the nineteenth century and into the twentieth.
    　 For the most part, the literature in which the railroad plays and important role belong to popular culture rather than to the realm of serious art. One thinks of melodramas, boys’ books, thrillers, romances, and the like rather than novels of the first rank. In the railroads’ prime years, between 1890 and 1920, there were a few individuals in the United States, most of them with solid railroading experience behind them, who made a profession of writing about railroading—works offering the ambience of stations, yards, and locomotive cabs. These writers, who can genuinely be said to have created a genre, the “railroad novel”, are now mostly forgotten, their names having faded from memory. But anyone who takes the time to consult their fertile writings will still find a treasure trove of information about the place of the railroad in the life of the United States.
    小题1:The underlined word “it” in the passage refers to______.
    A．railroadB．manifestationC．speedD．nature
    小题2:In the first paragraph, the author implies that writers’ reactions to the development of railroads were______.
    A．highly enthusiasticB．both positive and negative　C．unchangingD．Disinterested
    小题3: According to the passage, the railroad played a significant role in literature in all of the following kinds of books except_______.　
    A．thrillersB．boys’ booksC．romancesD．important novels
    小题4: The phrase “first rank” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to______.
    A．largest category(类别)B．highest quality　C．earliest writersD．most difficult language
    小题5: Which of the following topics is the main idea of passage?
    A．The role of the railroad in the economy of the USA　
    B．Major nineteenth century writers
    C．The conflict between expanding industry and preserving nature
    D．The railroad as a subject for literature

    I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language — the way it can evoke（唤起） an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all — all the Englishes I grew up with.
    Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I've been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as "broken" English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than "broken", as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked certain wholeness. I've heard other terms used, "limited English," for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people's perceptions(认识) of the limited English speaker.
    I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother's "limited" English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
    I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won't get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for a lack of a better term might be described as "broken", and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal (内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
    46. 小题1:By saying "Language is the tool of my trade", the author means that ______.
    A．she uses English in foreign tradeB．she is fascinated by languages
    C．she works as a translatorD．she is a writer by profession
    47. 小题2:The author used to think of her mother's English as ______.
    A．impoliteB．amusingC．imperfectD．practical
    48. 小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
    A．Americans do not understand broken English.
    B．The author's mother was not respected sometimes.
    C．The author' mother had positive influence on her.
    D．Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.
    49. 小题4:The author gradually realizes her mother's English is _____.
    A．well structuredB．in the old style
    C．easy to translateD．rich in meaning
    50. 小题5:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．The changes of the author's attitude to her mother's English.
    B．The limitation of the author's perception of her mother.
    C．The author's misunderstanding of "limited" English.
    D．The author's experiences of using broken English.

      The playwright George Bernard Shaw once said humorously, “England and America are two nations divided by a common language. If he were writing today, he might add ‘divided by a common technology--- e-mail’”.
    Two completely different styles of e-mail have formed on either side of the Atlantic-Euromail and Amerimail. Americail is informal and chatty. It’s likely to begin with a “Hi” and end with a “Bye”. The chances of Amerimail containing a smiley face or an “xoxo” are disturbingly high. We Americans are unwilling to dive into the meat of an e-mail. We feel we have to first inform recipients (收信人) about our vacation on the island which was really excellent except the jellyfish were biting and the kids caught a cold, so we had to skip the whale watching trip, but about that investors’ meeting in New York. Amerimail is a bundle of contradictions, casual and yet direct, respectful yet over proud. In other words, Amerimail is America.
    Euromail is stiff and cold often beginning with a formal “Dear Mr. X” and ending with a simple “Sincerely”. You won’t find any mention of kids or the weather or jellyfish in Euromail. It’s all business. It’s also slow. Your correspondent might take days even weeks to answer a message. Euromail is exactly like the Europeans themselves.
    Recently about 100 managers were asked on both sides of the Atlantic whether they noticed differences in e-mail styles. Most said yes. Here are a few of their observations:
    “Americans tend to write (e-mail) exactly as they speak.”
    “Why don’t you just call me instead of writing five e-mails back and forth?”
    “Europeans are less interested in checking e-mail”.
    “In general, Americans are much more responsive to e-mail—they respond faster and provide more information.”
    So which is better, Euromail or Amerimail? I realized it’s not popular these days to suggest we have anything to learn from Europeans, but I’m fed up with an inbox filled with casual, barely meaningful e-mails from friends and colleagues. If the alternative is a few earnestly written, carefully worded bits of Euromail, then I say, “Bring it on.”
    小题1:What did George Bernard Shaw mean by saying “England and America are two nations divided by a common language”?
    A．There is not much difference between British English and American English.
    B．Both England and America speak the common language, so they are much the same.
    C．Either England or America is a divided nation, though they share a common language.
    D．There is sharp difference between England and America despite their common language.
    小题2:Which of the following is most likely to be the “meat” of an Amerimail?
    A．The jellyfish were biting.
    B．We had an excellent vacation on the island.
    C．We had to skip the whale watching trip.
    D．We were to attend the investors’ meeting in New York.
    小题3:On receiving an e-mail, Europeans tend to __________.
    A．respond to it immediately and earnestly
    B．take more time than Americans to respond to it
    C．respond by calling up their correspondent
    D．never respond to it all
    小题4:What are characteristics of Amerimail?
    A．Informal and chattyB．Casual and indirect
    C．Stiff and coldD．Formal and direc60
    小题5:We can conclude from the passage that __________.
    A．the different e-mail styles do much harm to the relationship between the two sides on Atlantic
    B．Amerimail is more appreciated by the writer for being informative and casually written
    C．Euromail always impresses the writer as something more pleasant to read
    D．the writer doesn’t favor either e-mail style as both have their own shortcomings

    My school makes students take one religion (宗教) class every year. But religion is really hard, especially with Mr Frank Smith for a teacher.
    Mr Smith is 55 years old, with grey hair and a moustache (胡子). He always wears a blue school T-shirt, shorts and tennis shoes with long white socks. My friends say he looks like a cat.
    In his class, we did yoga (瑜珈) and meditation (冥想) (actually most of the children in my class lay on the ground sleeping), tasted some strange tea, had classes outside in the garden, and watched videos and movies about Tibetan Buddhism (藏传佛教), God, and so on.
    It was fun sometimes. However, the course (课程) was quite hard when it came to tests. The girls often worked until one or two o'clock in the morning on nights before the tests, but they still got bad scores.
    When our test scores were bad, he would give us some makeup assignments (补考作业). Once I got a B, which I thought was bad, so I asked Mr Smith for an assignment to bring up my grades.
    As a matter of fact, his assignments were often worse than the tests. The tests were just a lot of multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blanks, or short essays (文章). But his assignments usually included a speech in class.
    I was not afraid of public speaking, yet it took me three days to collect the information, two days to write the speech, one day to make a PowerPoint and several hours to prepare. I knew my presentation (课堂展示) was good, because I saw Mr Smith's big smile when he listened to me. He gave me an A at last.
    After finishing the course, I may not remember how hard it was or the meaning of some vocabulary. But through Mr Smith, I learned a lesson that will be with me my whole life. That is: no matter what we do, we need to put our hearts into it, and then our work will pay off.
    小题1:The religion class is hard because Mr Smith _______.
    A．uses strange ways to teach in his class.
    B．never gives good scores, however hard you try.
    C．gives difficult tests and make-up assignments.
    D．likes students to make good presentations.
    小题2: How could students get good scores in Mr. Smith’s class?
    A．Work hard by studying late into the night.
    B．Remember all of the vocabulary.
    C．Pay attention and take notes in class.
    D．Do well on the make-up assignment.
    小题3:From the course, the writer learned that ____.
    A．people should always be given a second chance
    B．people should always put their hearts into their work
    C．it is good to do yoga and meditation
    D．it is good to choose strict teacher

    Jeffery Deaver looks more like a brainy villain （反派人物） in a James Bond movie than a "00" agent in Her Majesty's secret service．Best known for his thrillers starring criminalist （刑事专家） Lincoln Rhyme, Jeffery Deaver has a new mission: Bring Bond into the 21st century in a new 007 novel．
    The yet-to-be-named book is cryptically （隐秘地） referred to as "Project X" by Ian Fleming Publications Ltd．, which owns the rights to Fleming's work．Most of the details surrounding Project X, to be published in May, are being kept under wraps, but under gentle coaxing （用好话劝诱） Deaver begins to spill his guts．"The novel," he says, "is set in the present day, in 2011．Bond is a young agent for the British secret service．He's 29 or 30 years old, and he's an Afghan war vet．" That in itself is big news．After all, if Bond were aging in real time — he first appeared on the screen in 1953 — the now doddering （老态龙钟的） 007 would be nearly 90．
    But first up: a new stand-alone Deaver novel, Edge （Simon & Schuster, $26．99）, to be published Tuesday．It's about a federal agent who risks his life to protect a Washington police detective from a man hired to extract information from him using any means at his disposal （任由个人支配的）．
    Sipping coffee while seated on a leather chair in a sitting room decorated with portraits of his dogs and show ribbons, the mild-mannered author who writes about murderers and serial killers talks about his career and the solid fan base that has allowed him to pursue writing full time since 1990．"I may not sell as many books as John Grisham（although he has sold a cool 20 million）, but I have a very loyal fan base," says Deaver, 60, who wrote some of his novels while working as a Wall Street lawyer．Deaver's initiation into the Bond family — more than 100 million 007 novels have sold worldwide — could significantly raise his profile （知名度）．
    Other novelists have written Bond novels since Ian Fleming's death in 1964 — including Kingsley Amis, John Gardner and, most recently, Sebastian Faulks — but they all took place in the original era．Deaver is taking a new approach．"There's no more Cold War to fight," says Deaver, so his new Bond, of the Fleming estate, will fight "post-9/11 evil．" "I want to stay true to the original James Bond, who many people don't know much about," he says, referring to the secret agent Fleming portrayed in 14 novels, and not the movie Bond．"People know Daniel Craig, they know Pierce Brosnan, they know Roger Moore and Sean Connery, all of whom brought a great deal to the stories of 007．But the original Bond was a very dark, edgy （另类的） character．"
    小题1:Which of the following is NOT true about Jeffery Deaver?
    A．Jeffery Deaver is a "00" agent in Her Majesty's secret service in a James Bond movie．
    B．Jeffery Deaver was working as a lawyer while he wrote some novels about murderers and serial killers．
    C．It is the loyal fan base that has allowed Jeffery Deaver to keep on writing since 1990．
    D．Jeffery Deaver is best known for his thrillers rather than for 007 novels．
    小题2:Which statement best explains the meaning of “spill his guts” in Paragraph 2?
    A．Tell others what he knows about the yet-to-be-named 007 novel．
    B．Tell others everything he knows about Ian Fleming Publications Ltd．．
    C．Have the courage to talk about the 007 agent James Bond．
    D．Have the determination to talk about "Project X"．
    小题3:Who was the author of 007 novels?
    A．Jeffery DeaverB．Ian Fleming
    C．John GrishamD．Kingsley Amis
    小题4:What do you know about the new 007 novel from the passage?
    A．The book to be published in May is named "Project X" by Ian Fleming Publications Ltd．．
    B．The book is about a federal agent risking his life to protect a Washington police detective．
    C．The book features a young James Bond, an Afghan war vet working for the British secret service．
    D．The book features a young James Bond who fights Cold War．

    In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to come to work and live here? In the wake of the Sept．11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing．
    On Dec．11, 2001, as part of the effort to increase homeland security, federal and local authorities in 14 states staged “Operation Safe Travel”---raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification．In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests．But those captures were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South America．Authorities said the undocumented workers’ illegal status made them open to blackmail（讹诈）by terrorists．
    Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods．Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent．“We’re saying we want you to work in these places, we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are, and then when it’s convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept．11, then you’re disposable．They are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons,” Anderson said．
    If Sept．11 had never happened, the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America, probably indefinitely．Ana Castro, a manager at a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop at the airport had been working 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid．Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation（驱逐出境）．Castro’s case is currently waiting to be settled．While she awaits the outcome, the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben & Jerry’s．
