princeton university for a short while. in 1917 he joined the army and was posted in alabama, where he met his future wife zelda sayre. then he had to make some money to impress her.his life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “my own happiness in the past often got such joy that i could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”this side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. encouraged by its success, fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. then he continued with the novel the beautiful and damned (1922), a collection of short stories tales of the jazz age (1922), and a play the vegetable (1923). but his greatest success was the novel the great gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories all the sad young men.however, fitzgeralds problems with his wife zelda had an effect on his writing. during the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. by 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a swiss clinic. during this period he completed novels tender is the night in 1934 and the love of the last tycoon in 1940. while his wife was in hospital in the united states, he got totally addicted to (沉迷于) alcohol. sheila graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.28. how many novels written by fitzgerald are mentioned in the passage?a. 5 b. 6 c. 7 d. 829. which of the following is the correct order according to the passage?a. he became addicted to drinking.b. he studied at st. paul academy. c. he published his first novel this side of paradise.d. the great gatsby won high praise.e. he failed to reorder his life.f. he joined the army and met zelda.a. f-c-e-a-b-d b. b-e-a-f-c-d c. f-d-e-c-b-a d. b-f-c-d-e-a30. we can infer from the passage that fitzgerald _. a. had made some money when he met zelda in alabamab. was well educated and well off before he served in the armyc. would have completed more works if his wife hadnt broken downd. helped his friend get rid of drinking while his wife was in hospital31. the passage is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about _. a. zeldas personal lifeb. zeldas illness and treatmentc. fitzgeralds friendship with grahamd. fitzgeralds contributions to the literary world dliving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.if i have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. with any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. if you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. when you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesnt solve anything.communication begins with the concerns of another. it means that you cant just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. even if you just say “hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.if you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance (表达) of information, means of communication such as a letter or a message”. to keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. let people know how you feel, even if its just by writing a note.when dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. if you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that youll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.this is an example: one night, sophie went to a street party with her friends. she knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didnt feel she could just ask to go home. that would be rude. after all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. needless to say, she was late getting home. her parents were mad at first, but when sophie explained why she was late, they werent as mad and let the incident go. communication is the key factor here. if sophies parents had not been willing to listen, sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.communication isnt a one-way deal: it goes both ways. just remember: if you get into a situation like sophies, tell the other person how you feellistening is the key factor to communication.32. in the writers view, dealing with parents is _than with children.a. more difficult b. easier c. more uninteresting d. more interesting33. the main idea of the second paragraph is _.a. the importance of friendshipb. to make your feeling known to othersc. the importance of communicationd. the disagreement between generations34. the example in this passage proves that _.a. sophie is very polite to her parents b. sophies parents are willing to listen to herc. explanation is the best way to solve a problemd. communication is the solution (解决办法) to misunderstanding35. all the following statements are correct except _.a. if you dont agree with others, youd better let them knowb. it is better to say “hi”to others than say nothingc. if you are not able to communicate, walk awayd. communication is a two-way deal第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（如果所用的答题卡没有e、f、g选项，则选e涂a、b，选f涂a、c，选g涂a、d。）sharks have lived in the worlds oceans for millions of years. a shark has a very good sense of smell. it can find small amounts of substances in water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. these powerful senses help sharks find their food. 36 sharks grow slowly. about forty percent of all sharks lay eggs. 37 some sharks carry their young inside their bodies as humans do. some sharks are not able to reproduce until they are twenty years old. most reproduce only every two years. and they give birth to fewer than ten young sharks. for this reason, over-fishing of sharks is of special danger to the future of the animal. 38 they eat injured and diseased fish. their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in ocean waters do not become too great. this protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.people hunt sharks for sport, food, medicine and their skin. experts say the international market for some kinds of sharks has increased because many parts of a shark are valuable. 39 shark liver oil is a popular source of vitamin. the skin of a shark can be used like leather. in asia, people enjoy a kind of soup made from shark fins. experts say a fisherman can earn a lot of money for even one kilogram of shark fins.sharks are among the oldest animals on earth. 40 if too many sharks in one area are killed, the group of sharks may never return to normal population levels.a. the others give birth to their young.b. sharks are important for the worlds oceans.c. this is a threat to other forms of life in the ocean.d. collectors pay thousands of dollars for the jaws of a shark.e. sharks are valuable to us and we can make full use of them.f. but some sharks are in danger of disappearing from earth.g. sharks eat fish, other sharks, and plants that live in the ocean.第三部分
