father had moved to the usa from austriahungary, 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 this system. 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.本文讲述了亚瑟米勒，美国著名的剧作家，以及他的著名的戏剧男售货员之死，当这部戏剧第一次搬上舞台时，赢得了巨大的成功，获得了三项大奖。4. why did arthur miller s 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.答案：b。细节理解题。根据短文第一段第二句话“millers father had moved to the usa from austriahungary，drawn like so many others by the great american dream”可知答案。5the play death of a salesman _.a. exposes the cruelty of the american business world b. discusses the ways to get promoted in a company c. talks about the business career of arthur miller d. focuses on the skills in doing business答案：a。细节理解题。根据短文第二段第三、四句话可知，willy loman已陷入美国社会制度的困境中，他已精疲力尽，在这残酷的商业世界中，他不知道应该怎样做，最后，他选择了自杀。由此可知a项正确。6. 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.答案：c。推理判断题。由短文第二段可知，willy loman在这残酷的商业世界中，根本没有情感可言，但是他又不能对不起他的雇主和公司，他又不知道如何处理自己的失败，只有选择自杀，由此可知他是美国社会制度的牺牲品。7. after it was first staged, death of a salesman_.a. achieved huge success b. won the first tony awardc. was warmly welcomed by salesmen d. was severely attacked by dramatists答案：a。细节理解题。由短文第三段可知，戏剧death of a salesman第一次搬上舞台，就赢得了三项大奖，故a项正确。8. what is the text mainly about?a. arthur miller and his family. b. the

eyes. confused, i glanced toward my stonefaced teacher. having no choice, i slowly raised the report i had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “what could be causing everyone to act this way？”quickly, i flashed back to the day miss lancelot gave me the task. this was the first real task i received in my new school. it seemed simple: go on the internet and find information about a man named george washington. since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, i had never heard of that name before. as i searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! one invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across america. i stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. i called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip(掷)a coin. headsthe commander, and tailsthe peanuts guy. ah! tails，my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, george washington carver.weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, i was totally lost. oh well, i lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what i had done wrong. as a classmate began his report, it all became clear，“my report is on george washington, the man who started the american revolution.” the whole world became quiet! how could i know that she meant that george washington?obviously, my grade was awful. heartbroken but fearless, i decided to turn this around. i talked to miss lancelot, but she insisted: no redos; no new grade. i felt that the punishment was not justified, and i believed i deserved a second chance. consequently, i threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. ten months later, that chance unfolded as i found myself sitting in the headmasters office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. i smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my opinion to skip the sixth grade. justice is sweet!60what did the authors classmates think about his report?acontroversial. bridiculous.cboring. dpuzzling.61why was the author confused about the task?ahe was unfamiliar with american history.bhe followed the advice and flipped a coin.che forgot his teachers instruction.dhe was new at the school.62the underlined word“burning”in para. 3 probably means _.aannoyed bashamedcready deager63in the end, the author turned things around _.aby redoing his taskbthrough his own effortscwith the help of his grandfatherdunder the guidance of his headmaster【要点综述】本文讲述了作者作为一个外来移民初入美国学校时，由于对美国历史不了解而闹出的一个笑话，但作者通过努力最后终于提高成绩并实现跳级。60. b推理判断题。根据第一段内容我们知道，由于作者对美国历史的无知，弄混了乔治华盛顿的身份，所以同学们听了作者写的报告忍不住大笑起来。“bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.”可知大家觉得这个报告很荒谬。controversial有争议的；ridiculous荒谬的，可笑的；boring无聊的；puzzling迷惑的，不解的。61. a推理判断题。 根据第二段“since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country”可知，作者是从别的国家初到美国，所以对美国历史不了解而闹了笑话。62. d词义猜测题。 根据全文叙述可知，作者是通过投掷硬币来决定的答案，因此犯了常识错误。第三段中“i was totally lost.”说明作者不明就里，所以当其他同学读报告时，作者渴望知道为什么。annoyed 烦恼的；ashamed羞愧的；ready准备好的，情愿的；eager渴望的。63. b细节理解题。 根据第四段“consequently, i threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.”可知作者是通过throw oneself into(积极从事)而实现转变的。所以选b。文中老师并没有给作者机会重做，所以a错误；从祖父那里得到建议是在选择华盛顿身份时，所以c错误；而校长是在作者成绩提高后才接见的，所以d错误。 第一组 10分钟1.while he was investigating ways to improve the telescope, newton made _ discovery which

come to an end. bob started to stand up and knocked into the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. “how embarrassing! i am getting so clumsy in my old age.”everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. it came around to frank who sat quietly listening to the others. someone said, “come on, frank. tell us your most embarrassing moment.”frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. “i grew up in san pedro. my dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. he had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. he worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. not just enough for our family, but also for his mom and dad and the other kids that were still at home.”he looked at us and said, “i wish you could have met my dad. he was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. when you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. he would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. his rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. no matter how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.”franks voice dropped a bit. “when the weather was bad he would drive me to school. he had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. that truck was older than he was. it would wheeze and rattle down the road. you could hear it coming for blocks. as he would drive toward the school, i would shrink (畏缩) down into the seat hoping to disappear. half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch (喷出) a cloud of smoke. he would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. it was so embarrassing for me. here, i was twelve years old, and my dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!”he paused and then went on, “i remember the day i decided i was too old for a goodbye kiss. when we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. he started to lean toward me, but i put my hand up and said, “no, dad.” it was the first time i had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. i said, “dad, im too old for a goodbye kiss. im too old for any kind of kiss.” my dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. then he turned and looked out the windshield. “ youre right,” he said. “ you are a big boy.a man. i wont kiss you anymore.”frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes, as he spoke. “it wasnt long after that when my dad went to sea and never came back. it was a day when most of the fleet (船队) stayed in, but not dad. he had a big family to feed. they found his boat adrift with its nets half in and half out. he must have gotten into a strong wind and was trying to save the nets and the floats.”i look
