classic short stories, arranged in the order in which they appeared in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century book editions, in a set complemented by four novels, editor biographies of doyle, holmes, and watson as well as literary and cultural details about victorian society.breaking ground by daniel libeskindprice: 16.00publication date: 11/10/2006brief introductionthis is a book about the adventure life that can offer each of us if we seize it, and about the powerful forces of tragedy, memory and hope. for daniel libeskind, lifes adventure has been through architecture, which he has found has the power to reshape human experience. although often relating to the past, his buildings are about the future. this memoir（自传）of one mans journey brings together history, personal experience, our physical environment and a fresh international vision.in the shadow of no towers by art spiegelmanprice：16.00publication date: 02/09/2006brief introductionon 11th september 2001, art spiegelman raced to the world trade center, not knowing if his daughter nadja was alive or dead. once she was found safe - in her school at the foot of the burning towers - he returned home, to meditate（反省）on the trauma（创伤）, and to work on a comic strip（连环漫画）. in the shadow of no towers is new yorker art spiegelmans extraordinary account of “the hijacking on 9.11 and the following hijacking of those events” by america.light on snow by anita shreveprice: 14.00publication date: 07/10/2006publishers descriptionthis is the 11th novel by anita shreve, the critically accepted bestseller. a moving story of love and courage and tragedy and of the ways in which the human heart always seeks to heal itself.21. who is the writer of the book latest published among the four books?a. arthur

on snowb. in the shadow of no towersc. breaking groundd. new annotated sherlock holmes23. of the four books listed above, there are two referring to tragedies. they are _.a. light on snow & breaking groundb. in the shadow of no towers & breaking groundc. light on snow & in the shadow of no towersd. new annotated sherlock holmes & in the shadow of no towersb many people write to newspaper and magazines to express their opinions. letters to the editor must carry the writers full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication. this requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say. when a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice. responsibility is the name of the game. “people today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship,” said social worker ken yip, “and this is what is causing a lot of family problems.” when we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature is a seal of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously. most governments and many organizations will not process written complaints if they do not bear the writers signature. the absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply.there are people who wish to remain anonymous（匿名的）for various reasons. multi-billionaire mr. king donates generously to charity several times a year. he gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news. in other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime.name or no name? the answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. we all have a name. it is a matter of responsibility to use it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation. we all want to honour our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honour what we say.24.what does the writer mean by saying “responsibility is the name of the game”?a. writers need to provide their personal information in the game.b. publication must bear the writers full name, address and phone number.c. writers should be responsible for their names.d. names are required to indicate writers responsibility for what they say.25.the second paragraph suggests that a paper without a signature may _.a. help to end a relationshipb. not get a replyc. be accepted all the samed. become a family problem26.some people dont want their names known because they are _.a. hesitant to make a donationb. unwilling to draw public attentionc. afraid of an accusationd. ready for involvement27.the passage is mainly about _.a. honour and writersb. identity and signaturec. signature and responsibilityd. anonymity and signaturecwhen i first got an e-mail account ten years ago, i received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. now it seems that every time i check my e-mail, i have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. if we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.if lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. as more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?this problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. these computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passes on to the consumer.for these reasons, i believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. e-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.28.what does the underlined word “correspondence” in paragraph 1 probably mean? a. messagesb. ideasc. connectionsd. programs29. according to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam? a. companies rely on e-mail for communications.b. more people in the world communicate by e-mail.c. many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.d. more advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.30. according to the author, who is the final victim of spam? a. the businessb. the advertiserc. the employeed. the consumer 31. what is the purpose of the text?a. to informb. to educatec. to persuaded. to instructdwhen students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance，the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. music is nice , people seem to say , but not important. too often it is viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（优先）.this view is shortsighted. in fact, music education is beneficial and important for all studentsmusic tells us who we are. because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a schubert song. the jazz influence that george gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously american because it came from american musical traditions. music expresses our character and values .it gives us identity as a society.music provides a kind of perception（视角）that cannot be acquired any other way. science can explain how the sun rises and sets .the arts explore the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same phenomenon. we need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: no one way can get it all.the arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. they are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. they are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes .the arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. when we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. so music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.32. according to paragraph 1, students_.a. regard music as a way of entertainmentb. disagree with their parents on educationc. view music as an overlooked subjectd. prefer the arts to science33. in paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to.a. compare it with rock musicb. show music identifies a societyc. introduce american musical traditionsd. prove music influences peoples lifestyles34. according to the passage , the arts and science.a. approach the world from different anglesb. explore different phenomena of the worldc. express peoples feeling in different waysd. explain what it means to be human differently35. what is the main idea of the passage?a. music education deserves more attention.b. music should be of top education priority.c. music is an effective communication tool.d. music education makes students more imaginative.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。 how to make friendsfriendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. good friendship
