阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A The Western has been the favorite type for American adventure story since the nineteenth centuryWhile the American West was being settled，newspapers and”dime novels”could depend on stories of the frontier settlements and tell tales about living in the untamed wilderness to sellThe public back East was eager to read about the West，even if the stories were more fiction than fact In l902，Owen Wister published his novel The Virginian，which was one of the first novels to treat the Western as a serious literary form；the novel still sold well and had inspired several movies and a television seriesIn l905，Bertha HBower and Zane Grey published their first novels，and the popular Western novels had continued to flourish from that day on，with current novels by Luke Short，Max Brand，and Louis LAmour carrying on the tradition The first Western movie appeared even earlier than these serious Western novelsBefore the turn of the century,an associate of Edisons had fimed Cripple Creek Barroom Scene，a few seconds of film showing the inside of a saloonto help publicize the invention of the movie camera.In 1903 the Edisoncompany filmed the first“full-length”Western film-The Great Train RobberyThe fihn lasts less than fifteen minutes，but a story is told its entiretyIn the movie，bandits(强盗)rob a train and its passengers，killing the engineer，and found themselves tracked down by a police sergeantAudiences loved the movieSome theaters were actually opened for the single purpose of showing The Great Train Robbery and only later realized that they could do equally well showing other moviesThe film was so successful that other companies，and finally even the Edison company itself,began producing copies and other versions of The Great Train RobberyIronically,in an era when the West was still very real-Arizona，New Mexico and Oklahoma were all territories rather than states in l903-The Great Train Robbery was filmed in New Jersey41The passage suggests that AEdisons invention of the movie calnera happened by accident Bmovie houses didnt make muchmoney in the early days CEasterners were fascinated by the”Wild West” DThe Great Train Robbery was poorly received by the public because it lacked a plot42According to the passage，novels about the West Awere not welcomed by people in other places in the us Bwere liked very much by people in other places in the us Cwere gradually written less and less by writers at that time Dwere written much earlier than movies about the place and people there43. The purpose of this passage is to Adiscuss the making of the movie The Great Train Robbery Bdiscuss the early Western novels Cdiscuss the art of movie making Dtrace the development of the Western as an American adventure story tradition44We can conclude frOlil this passage that Afilms were fairly uncommon at the time The Great Train Robbery was madc BOwen Wister was an excowboy CNew Jersey was still”untamed wilderness”in l903 Dpeople lost interest in the West after l90345The passage tells us that Amovies were the main fotin of western literature at that time Bnovels were the main form ofwestern literature at that time Cboth the movies and novels were considered the literary forms at that time Dnovels and movies were liked by all people in the US at that timeB What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion?It means that we live alnong competing Interests-Your roommates need to study for an exam may take priority(优先)over pizzaYour instructor may have good reasons not to change your gradeAnd the object of your romanticinterest may have other choices In such a world，persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our points of viewWhen we persuade，we want to influence how others believe and behaveWe may not always prevail-other points of view may be morepersuasive，depending on the listener,the situation，and the merit of the caseBut when we practice the art of persuasion，we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves Some people，however,object to the very idea of persuasionThey may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their livesJust the opposite，we believe that persuasion is unavoidable-to live is to persuadePersuasion may be ethical(合乎道义的)or unethical，selfless or selfish，inspiring or degradingEthical persuasion，however，calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listenersSuch persuasion call help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must makeThereforethe most basic part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other Beyond its personal importance to us，persuasion is indispensable to societyThe right to Dersuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system，guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution(美国宪法)46According to the passage，persuasion means Achanging otherspoints of view Bexercising power over other people Cgetting other people to consider your point of view Dgetting people to agree with you and do what you want 47The underlined word“prevail”in the second paragraph means Awin Bfail Cspeak D1isten 48The passaoe states that some people object to persuasion because they think it is Aa danger to society Bdifficult to do well Cunwelcome behavior Dnever successful 49The passage mainly discusses A. how people persuade Bwhy people persuade Cthat persuasion is both good and bad Dthat persuasion is important and it is all around us50We can infer from the passage that 。 Aif you are right，you can always be successful in your persuasion Bpersuasion is a necessary and important act in any society Cany persuasion is from a selfish and annoying point of view Dpersuasion is hard to do and hard to succeed C In a time of low academic(学术的)achievement by children in the United States，many Americans are turning to Japan，a country of high academic achievement and economic success，for possible answers，However，the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to findIn most Japanese preschools，surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instructionIn one investigation，300 Japanese and 210 Americall preschool teachers，child development specialists，and parents were asked about Various aspects of early childhood educationOnly 2 percent of the Japanese respondents(答卷者)listed“to give children a good start acadelnically”as one of their top three reasons for a societv to have preschoolsIn contrast，over half tile American respondents chose this as one of their top three choicesToprepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond，Japanese schools do not teach reading，writing，and Inathematics，but rather skills such as persistence，concentration，and the ability to function as a menlber of a groupThe majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education，91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools62 percent of the Americans lis ted individually oriented(强调个性发展)development than group experience as one of their top three choicesAn emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education Like in America，there is diversity(多样性)in Japanese early childhood educationSome Japanese kindergartens have specific aims，such as early musical training or potential(潜力)developmentIn large cities，some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and sccondary schools Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program，it will increase the childrens chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universitiesSeveral more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for those emphasizing the intellectual development in some Japanese kindergartens51. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe AJapanese parents pay more attention to preschool education than American parents BJapans economic SUCCESS is a result of its scientific achievements CJapanese preschool education emphasizes academic instruction D. Japans higher education is better than theirs52 Most American respondents believe that preschools should also attach importance to Aproblem solving Bgroup experience Cparental guidance Dindividually oriented development53In Japans preschool educationthe focus is on Apreparing children academically Bdeveloping childrens artistic interests Ctapping childrens potential Dshaping childrens character54. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens? AThey can do better in their future studies BThey can gain more group experience there CThey Call be individually oriented when they grow up D. They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education55We can infer from the passage that in Japanese peoples minds Aability to persist and concentrate for children is more important than academic development Bpreschool education must deal with many aspects of childrens development CAmerican preschool education is a failure as the academic achievement is lowDJapanese preschool education is much better than many other countries第二节：信息匹配(共5小题，每小题2分，满分l0分) 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按要求匹配信息，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将对应题号的选项字母涂黑。 The infonnation about extracurricular activities(课外活动)AAsianAmerican Students Union Set up for more than thirty years，this club has been mainly focusing on the cultural differences between Asia and AmericaThe members in this club should come from Asia or America and they will hold a meeting every Thursday evening to discuss the interesting points they have found in their daily livesBesides，they will conduct some surveys among their classmates to dig the roots of the differencesBYale Film Soeiety Students who are movie-lovers come here to enjoy wonderful movies together and they will learn the actorslinesMore than that，some nice films produced by themselves will have the chance to be praised by teachers and students on the campusThey will get together every Friday night to hold a small meeting where they will have their opinions exchanged and may recommend some new moviesCYale AIDS Watch All the members in this club should have some basic knowledge about AIDS and be interested in the serious headache for the people all around the world-AIDS.They will collect the latest reports on the development of the study of the diseaseAt the sallie time，they will have some leaflets(传单)printed to give out to the studentsThe time for them to meet is Friday afternoon twice a monthDSociety of Women The members are female only and they will pay attention to the problems they come across in their school lives and outside the campusAll the girls are welcome to this club as long as they want to protect their rights as womenThey will get together every Sunday afternoon to deal with the letters from girls and try to solve their problemsEYale Pop Band This band has been very popular among students who are keen on pop musicThe members introduce latest albums and most of them are good at singing and each of them plays a key role in any partyThey have no regular meetings but ke
