每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。ai grew up with a fat dad 450 pounds at his heaviest. every week he would try a new diet, and my family ended up eating whatever strange food he was trying at that moment.after my third grade year, my dad landed a life-changing job in manhattan. my mom, my little sister and i had to move away from our hometown, chicago, and leave my grandmother and her beautiful food behind.leaving my grandmother was far more frightening than the move to new york city. there would be no more special weekends at my grandmother s house, the only place i can remember feeling happy, safe and nourished (有营养的). it was what i desired. in this new city, i felt extremely alone and lost, and i missed my grandmother terribly.my grandmother knew just how i felt and she knew the cure. every week, she would send me a card with a $20 bill, a recipe and a list of what to buy at the market. it kept us bonded, and her recipes filled my body and soul.over the years, i have grown to better understand my father s struggles with weight and the toll (代价) it took on him and those who love him. i have come to realize he was driven not by vanity (自负) or selfishness as much as by a deep pain. and in spite of growing up in such an unhealthy eating environment (or perhaps because of it), as an adult i found a passion and a career as a nutrition consultant.today, my father weighs 220 pounds and is a vegan (素食者). how he got there is a story i hope to share in the coming weeks. more importantly, food is no longer a barrier that keeps us apart, but a bridge that keeps us connected. there is nothing my dad enjoys more than talking with me about dietary theories and his weight loss victories. and now i am the one regularly sending recipe cards to my father s house, just as my grandmother did for me.bbooks that shaped americahuckleberry finnnovelist ernest hemingway famously said, “all modern american literature comes from one book by mark twain called huckleberry finn. . all american writing comes from that. there was nothing before. there has been nothing as good since.” during their trip down the mississippi on a raft, twain describes in a satirical (嘲讽的) and humorous way huck and jim s encounters with hypocrisy, racism, violence and other evils of american society. his use in serious literature of a lively, simple american language full of dialect and informal spoken expressions paved the way for many later writers, including hemingway and william faulkner.gone with the windthe most popular romance novel of all time was the basis for the most popular movie of all time (in today s dollars). margaret mitchell s book, gone with the wind, set in the south during the civil war, won both the pulitzer prize and national book award, and it remains popular, despite charges that its author had a blind eye regarding the horrors of slavery.leaves of grassthe publication of the first slim edition of walt whitman s “leaves of grass” in 1855 was the first appearance of a masterpiece that shifted the course of american literary history. refreshing and bold in both theme and style, the book experienced many revisions during whitman s lifetime. over almost 40 years whitman produced multiple editions of “leaves of grass”， shaping the book into an ever transforming kaleidoscope (千变万化) of poems. by his death in 1892, “leaves” was a thick summary that represented whitman s view of america over nearly the entire last half of the 19th century. among the collection s best known poems are “i sing the body electric”， “song of myself”， and “o captain! my captain！” in praise of abraham lincoln.the american woman s homethis classic domestic guide, the american woman s home, by sisters catharine e. beecher and harriet beecher stowe is dedicated to “the women of america, in whose hands rest the real fates of the republic.” it includes chapters on healthful cookery, home decoration, exercise, cleanliness, good air ventilation (通风方法) and heat, etiquette, sewing, gardening and care of children, the sick, the aged and domestic animals. intended to elevate the “womans sphere” of household management to a respectable profession based on scientific principles, it became the standard domestic handbook.61. which of the following best describes ernest hemingway s feelings for mark twain s book?a. wonderful. b. disappointing.c. painful. d. confusing.62. which author is accused of neglecting the horrors of slavery?a. mark twain. b. margaret mitchell.c. walt whitman. d. catharine e. beecher.63. what can we learn from walt whitmans poems?a. he used many informal oral english in “leaves of grass”b. many poems were added to “leaves of grass” after 1855.c. he showed little respect for abraham lincoln in his poems.d. the poems reflected walt whitmans bad opinions of america.64. in which book can one learn how to live a healthy life?a. huckleberry finn.b. gone with the wind.c. leaves of grass.d. the american womans home.65. what does the underlined word “dedicated” probably mean?a. devoted b. addictedc. opposed d. sentencedccultural comedyits not so surprising that us first lady michelle obama has called modern family her favorite tv series. september saw the fun, heartwarming sitcom take home the best comedy series award at the 2013 emmys. this is the fourth year in a row that the series has won that title. on oct. 9, the 100 th episode(集) of the comedy aired. the show features three families who move in and out of each others lives. the first one is a typical american family: the working dad phil, stay-at-home mom claire and their three children.the second family is made up of jay, his young hispanic(西班牙的) wife and her son manny. jay, 65, is the father of claire. he is older than his wife and everyone mistakes the two for father and daughter.the third family is made up of gay(同性恋) couple, mitchell and cameron, and their adopted daughter lily. mitchell is jays son.on sept. 25, the show started its fifth season, in which claire makes a big change she returns to work. the other big storylines include jays stepson manny starting high school and mitchell and cameron looking for a primary school for lily. will things go right for the three families?modern family has no spies, aliens or vampires(吸血鬼); its just about ordinary people. so what has made it such a hit?according to the los angeles times, its “presentation of contemporary us society” contributes to its success. the show presents what a typical “nuclear family” is like in the us: two parents, a big house and two or three children. phil and claire have different but fun personalities. when theres fight between their kids, phil wants to be the “cool dad” while traditional mom claire lives by the saying “ an eye for an eye. she always forces phil to punish the troublemaker.the show also touches upon developments in interracial (种族间的) relation in the us by focusing on hispanic communities. this makes sense, as “by 2040, america will no longer be a majority-white country, with the fastest growth rate among hispanics today, one in seven marriages are interracial, ” bbc pointed out.in addition, according to bbc， 40 percent of americans say they have a gay friend or relative. by including mitchell and cameron, modern family reflects the changing status of gay people in the us。but “there really is no more of a generalized(一般化的)american family” than the group of characters on modern family, commented the hartman group, a us research firm. “the us is a melting pot so the family has come to reflect that diversity.”66. which of the following is true abut the characters in modern family?a. jay, claire and mitchell make up a typical american family.b. mitchell and cameron are a gay couple and they adopted a boy.c. jay and his wife are often not thought of as a couple because their ages are so far apart.d. there are always fights between phil and claire because of their different ways of raising kids.dapart from psychological illness, we are all largely responsible for our own emotional health. what we say to ourselves over and over for days, weeks, months, and sometimes years, has a great effect on how we see ourselves. this also contributes to many mental health disorders.many of us have problems with negative thoughts playing on the channel of our minds, but if youre buried in them and believe them, they could be wearing your sense of self-esteem (自尊). here are a few beliefs that indicate you may need to switch the channel: i m not good enough? /i dont deserve.? /no one likes me? /im a failure?negative thoughts remind you of your bad feelings and they bring your focus on your failures, and they get you nowhere.what can you do? here are some suggestions：switch the channel when negative thoughts appear. selftalk is not so obvious that we often don t notice its effect on our mood and belief systems. key things to notice are “if only” or “what if” statements: the former keeps you stuck in the past with regret, while the latter keeps you fearful of the future. there is nothing you can do about the past, and the future isn t here yet, so stay in the present moment.recognize that actions always follow beliefs. youll find yourself behaving in ways that are consistent to your beliefs. so, start believing the best about yourself: act as if you believe that you re a valuable and worthy person.develop positive selftalk rather than negative selftalk. instead of always looking down upon yourself in your head, think of some things you actually like about yourself. what are your strengths? what are you good at? instead of saying “im a loser”， try saying, “i am capable./im good at./i accept myself the way i am.”thinking poorly about ourselves gets us nowhere and is extremely selflimiting. decide today to turn off the negative selftalk channel in your mind and develop your true potential.71. from the first two paragraphs we can learn that _.a. lots of people have no sense of selfesteemb. focusing on negative thoughts may have bad effect on peoplec. negative thoughts will strengthen our sense of selfesteemd. few people have negative thoughts and mental problems72. the underlined word “wearing” in paragraph
