english teachers and the media always praise him. but when you actually take the time to read the adventures of tom sawyer, you find that his work is more wonderful than you could have ever imagined.the novel describes a young boy named tom sawyer growing up in a small town along the mississippi river. he explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. twains idea of childhood is magical a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.more importantly, through the eyes of tom sawyer, twain cleverly makes fun of us culture. for instance, tom hates going to church, and twain uses scenes of tom there to mock religion and its old traditions. “often, the less there is to justify a traditional custom, the harder it is to get rid of it,” he writes in one chapter.twains writing is full of these kinds of critical (批判的) points about culture and politics. thats why he is so loved in the us he wasnt afraid to state his opinions, and he did so clearly.for instance, twain didnt like us wars abroad. in 1900, after the us invaded(入侵) the philippines, twain wrote in a newspaper article: “we do not intend to free, but to rule the people of the philippines.”he also believed strongly in womens right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject, called “votes for women”, in 1901.“tom was a glittering hero once more the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” twain writes in tom sawyer. but he could just as well be describing himself.24. after reading the

so loved in the us because _.a. he showed readers a magical childhood that everyone would loveb. he criticized american culture and society clearly and cleverlyc. he wrote bad things about us wars abroadd. he supported womens right to votecon a cold winter day in denver, i waited in line to see my hero, jack canfield, the co-author of the best-selling chicken soup for the soul series and the author of the success principles. what jack had become was what i wanted to be.during his talk, jack took out his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, “who wants this?” hands shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom jack would choose. but i ran up the stairs to the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand. he turned to me and said, “yes, thats it! instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply be active and create what we want!”after this week, i asked for his personal e-mail address and sent him e-mail sharing my views and dreams. he kindly e-mailed back simple encouragement such as “keep thinking and playing bigger; its much more fun that way. love, jack.” then i got busy with other things in life and i stopped e-mailing jack.a year later, my dream gradually died away. i had this idea if i got back in touch with jack. i e-mailed him again and again but got no response. as i sat down at my computer to check my e-mail for the fifth time in 15 minutes, an inspiration came like lighting: what was i doing? was i waiting for the prize of life? i knew i needed to do something about all this waiting. i was going to write a book, which i would call “waiting for jack”!it all sounded good, but then reality hit. some nights i cried and wanted to give up. i wrote and rewrote. even though i could feel the fear, i did it anyway. fortunately, three years later, waiting for jack turns out a best-seller on amazon!we all have a “jack” for whom we wait whether its a person, a place or a thing. now i would like to ask you: what are you waiting for?28. from paragraph1, it can be concluded that the author _.a. wanted jack to become what he wasb. wanted to make friends with jackc. wanted to be as successful as jackd. wanted to get help from jack29. we can infer from the passage that jack canfield is probably a person who _.a. enjoys playing a lot b. likes showing off his wealthc. welcomes challenges in life d. seldom takes risks30. why

annual (一年一度的) milan fashion week and its world-class soccer teams ac milan and inter milan. and may will see it host the six-month milan expo, the theme of which is food and nutrition.milan may not be the first place tourists think of when they think of italy. rome is the most famous city in italian history, venice draws visitors who want to travel along its canals (运河) and florence is popular with art lovers. yet milan can often be left off tourists lists. but although some see milan as the “ugly sister” of these cities, according to lonely planet, in 2015 the city is “suddenly back in fashion in a big way”.the delicious milan expo will look at the future of food, trying to answer the question of how earths fast-growing population can be fed in the future. according to the lonely planet website, “144 countries will set up shop northwest of central milan, forming a mini city-within-a-city”.milans famous opera house, la scala, normally closed in the summer, will also host daily performances during the expo, reported fox news.not interested in opera? dont worry. visitors who prefer sports may want to visit the san siro stadium, home of the soccer teams ac milan and inter milan. the stadium is one of the most famous in europe and has seen many important games over the years, both in serie a and the european champions league.so even if all of its fashion and beautiful people can make milan seem “soulless”, as lonely planet said, it still has “a serious sense of history and place”. many people will be discovering it this year, and eating great food from all over the world to help solve world problems. will you?32. the features of milan are mentioned in the article except_.a. economyb. fashionc. sportsd. culture33. the attitude of the editors from lonely planet towards the city of milan was_.a. uninterestedb. dissatisfiedc. supportived. disappointed 34. the authors purpose in writing this article is to _.a. inform readers of the theme and activities of the 2015 milan expo b. explain why milan will be holding the world expo in 2015c. give an objective review of the food culture in miland. show that milan is a good choice for traveling 35. where does this passage probably come from?a. a travel journalb. a sports reportc. a science fictiond. a tourist magazine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。an american adult had to spend
