Millers father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream”. However,he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s. Millers most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman,the hero of the play,we see a man who has got into trouble with his worth. Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment: if he cant do the work,then he is no good to his employer,the Wagner Company,and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this,and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end. When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards. Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10,2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.4.Why did Arthur Millers father move to the USA?A.He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.B.He was attracted by the Great American Dream.C.He hoped to make his son a dramatist.D.His family business failed.5.The play Death of a Salesman .A.exposes the cruelty of the American business worldB.discusses the ways to get promoted in a companyC.talks about the business career of Arthur MillerD.focuses on the skills in doing business6.What can we learn about Willy Loman?A.He treats his employer badly.B.He runs the Wagner Company.C.He is a victim of the American system.D.He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues.7.After it was first staged, Death of a Salesman .A.achieved a huge successB.won the first Tony AwardC.was warmly welcomed by salesmenD.was severely attacked by dramatistsC It was a winter afternoon in 2000.Lily, our only daughter, sat quietly, all her heart put in her work.Every once in a while she would ask how to spell the name of someone in our family, and then painstakingly(费力地)formed the letters one by one. Next, she added flowers and green grass at the bottom of each page with a sun in the upper right comer, surrounded by the blue sky.Holding them at eyes level, she was satisfied. “What are you making, honey?” I asked. “Its a surprise,” she said, covering up her work with her hands. It wasnt until later that evening that I noticed a “ mailbox ” fastened onto the door to each of our bedrooms. There was one for Edward, one for Tom.She hadnt forgotten Peter and baby Paul. For the next few weeks, we received mail regularly.There were little notes showing her love for each of us and short letters full of tiny things that only a seven-year-old would notice. I was in charge of receiving baby Pauls letters, page after page of colored scenes including flowers with happy faces.“ He cant read yet, she said, M but he can look at the pictures.” This same little girl is growing now, driving off every day to college.But something about her has never changed. One afternoon only a week or so ago, I found a love note next to my pillow. “Thanks for always being there for me, Mum,” it read,“Im glad that we are best friends.” I couldnt help but remember that her smile has brought me countless hours of joy throughout the years.

Computers can solve difficult problems and control other machines. Many people use small computers called calculators to solve simple maths problems quickly. Scientists use large computers to solve many problems at the same time. You can play games with computers, and some computers can help you learn languages. The Kurzweil Reading Machine is a special kind of computer. It can read books for blind people. To use the Kurzweil machine, a blind person can simply open the book and put it down on the scanner(扫描仪). The machine “reads” the words on the page. When one page is finished, the blind person turns the page and puts the book on the scanner again. The Kurzweil machine can read in a normal voice or in a special fast voice. It can read words with small letters and large letters. Blind people like the Kurzweil machine because they can “read” anything with it: newspapers, magazines, books, even typed letters. Many libraries now have Kurzweil Machine for blind people to use.

Just as immersing(沉浸)yourself in a novel requires pause of disbelief, immersing yourself in listening requires pause of opinions or advice. While judgments may appear into your head, set them to the side.Ask questions to follow your natural curiosity.When youre interested, ask questions.18_Ask for examples. Ask for details. Following your natural curiosity by asking questions not only shows you are listening and interested, but almost always produces an interesting story.Listen with your whole body.In many a kindergarten classroom, teachers emphasize something called “whole body listening”. It goes like this: use your eyes to watch nonverbal(非语言)expressions, your brain to think about what is being said, your heart to feel emotions and keep the rest of your body quiet to show respect. But many of us lose it over time, especially as life gets busy. The result? We often try to multitask while listening.19_Validate(使生效)with simple phrases.Keep in your back pocket some validating words and phrases to show youve heard someone.“Of course.” “That makes sense.” “Naturally.” “Clearly.” “Forsure.”20_In conversation, combining those little phrases: “Of course you feel that way.” or “That makes total sense.” doesnt necessarily convey agreement, but it does convey something even bigger: acceptance.A. Create safety.B. We half-listen while getting things done or staring at a screen.C. Its appealing to talk about your own experience.D. Devote yourself to listening.E. Think like a journalist and ask what, when, where, why or how.F. All of these statements confirm a persons experience or feelings as worthy and accepted.G. But being a good listener goes way beyond just not interrupting or nodding your head.完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin.
