african american woman who became a nun(修女). she opened a school in new orleans in the 1830s. the school received and taught free and enslaved african american children, even though it was against the

what was special about the penn school?a. it was free of charge.b. it was against the law.c. it was a womens school.d. it received students of all ages.3. who set up hartford female seminary?a.catharine beecher b.henriette delillec.laura towne d.mary lyonb“hows it going?” i asked the waiter, “hows your day been?”“ah, not too busy. what are you up to?”“not much. just reading.”this, i have learned, is one of the key rituals of american life. it has taken me a decade to master.i came to the united states in 2001, for college. i brought only my indian experience in dealing with shopkeepers and tea sellers. in delhi, where i grew up, you dont ask each other how your day has been. you might not even smile. im not saying this is goodits how it is.“mahajan, youre so rude to waiters!” tom, an american friend, said, laughing, after he watched me ordering food at a restaurant, years ago. considering myself a friendly person, i was surprised. tom always asked servers how they were doing or complimented their shirts or joked about the menu. at the time, this seemed dishonest to me. did he really care what they were wearing?america is a land of small talk. two people greet each other happily, with friendliness, but might know each other for years before asking basic questions about each others backgrounds. the opposite is true of indians. at least three people ive sat next to on planes to and from india have asked me, within minutes, how much i earn as a writer.so, for years in america, i would shudder when reporting to the front lines to order coffee. it felt like a performance. i had a thick accent and people didnt understand me and i was ashamed. during these years in the small-talk wilderness, i also wondered why americans valued friendliness with commerce so much.everything is subject to analysis until it becomes second nature to you. living in brooklynand then in austin, texas, i visited coffee shops daily. meeting the same waiter day after day created a language environment, and i got practice. people no longer heard my name as“ kevin”or “carmen” though they still misheard “to go” as “to stay”. i was beginning to get used to the ritual of small talk. it felt good and didnt seem dishonest anymore.4. what was the authors attitude to shopkeepers when he first came to america?a. cold. b. friendly. c. patient. d. distrustful.5. what did the author experience on planes to and from india?a. he ran into some friends. b. he was asked about his privacy.c. he was turned away by the indians.d. he talked a lot about his writing career.6. why did the author shudder while ordering coffee for many years?a. he struggled with small talk.b. he couldnt decide what to order.c. he felt cold when in a coffee shop.d. he was worried about waiters unfriendliness.7. what can be learned about the authors present life?a. he still has an accent.b. he visits coffee shops irregularly.c. he sometimes misunderstands others.d. he is still uncomfortable with small talk.cone thing just led to another after liddy fitz-gerald visited the school where im in charge of a box of tiny sculptures made by her husband, clark. his full-size works can be found in public spaces from philadelphia to coventry cathedral in england. the table in my office became a minigallery of the 32 small objects that inspired huge public art.at some point, liddy had made up a word for them: jibbies. here were natures forms on my table.among them were a stone full of holes, a sea purse (a purse-shaped egg case of sharks), and a leaf, which looked like a hand. another leaf suggested the front part of a viking longboat.a chip of wood, a piece of bark and a dried starfishthey had all interrupted a walk by clark, who would pocket them for his collection and then reimagine them as carvings.the kids at my school started to come by my office for a look at the jibbies. when second-grader dustin saw them, he said, “you can make art out of anything.” true, if you have the right eye.a walk with clark, it turns out, wasnt about getting anywhere in particularit was about seeing things. botany, paleontology,or geology might be the formal name for such science, but its really a matter of art, poetry, and music-seeing, feeling, and hearing a different pulse in things.so i opened the clark fitz-gerald table top gallery in my office. when tom, a parent of a child in my school, saw it, he immediately appreciated the “childlike wonder” evident in clarks choice of natural objects. the kids came two by two and looked at the little forms and the shadows they were making on the table. the childrens faces were full of respect as they recognized familiar objects from their own experiences of beachcombing(赶海).where might this lead? mrs. belyeas art classes gave me the answer. they were searching along the town and neighborhood nearby for interesting objects. within hours we had produced our own original jibbies: stone, maple leaves, horse-chestnut skins.even a few bottle caps. sculptures were to be found everywhere!8. what does the underlined wordjibbies” in paragraph 2 refer to?a. the authors minigalleries.b. clarks small sculptures.c. clarks full-size works.d. the authors tables.9. which of the following can best describe clark?a. he loves poetry.b. he likes children.c. he is good at science.d. he is full of imagination.10. what did the kids think of the show in the authors office?a. strange. b. fantastic. c. professional. d. disappointing.11. what does the text mainly tell us?a. tiny sculptures encourage kids to look for art in nature.b. the author finds a new way of teaching art classes.c. clark fitz-gerald is a special artist.d. children are born to love art.dthis summer more than 85 million people around the world will visit water parks, according to the international association of amusement parks. when they do, their rides will be guided by the laws of physics.water-park physics begins with gravity. thats the force that pulls objects to earth. its also what waterslide designers rely on to get riders from the top of the slide to the bottom. water helps move things along by creating a layer between the rider and the slide. that reduces the stickiness between two objects when they rub against one another, which is called friction.acceleration(加速度) is what makes waterslides exciting. its the scientific principle used to describe what an object does when it changes speed for direction. in scientific terms, you accelerate not only when you speed up but also when you slow down or make a turn. basically, all the best parts of a waterslide.waterslide designers zero in on two things to create acceleration. one is the slope of the slide, which affects a riders speed: the steeper(陡峭的) the slide, the faster you go. another is curves(曲线), which change a riders direction. slopes and curves on a waterslide mean more acceleration. and more acceleration means more fun.in the last two decades, there have been major developments in waterslide technology. on a proslide ride called the tornado 60, riders drop into a 60-footnor narrow space, where they experience some zero-gravity-moments. on the water coaster at six flags amusement park in fiesta, texas, riders are sent uphill at more than 20 miles per hour.designers are also using 3d printing to make high-tech models of waterslides. the models help them understand how water and people will travel through a slide. “a lot of what we do when designing waterslides is based on decades and decades of history, on knowing how other slides performed,” says smegal, a waterslide designer. “but these new tools could change the way slides are created in the future.” this new technology may lead to even bigger and better rides. but all slides will continue to rely on basic physics and thrillsfor years to come.12. when people ride waterslides, the water can _.a. help reduce frictionb. create stickinessc. lower the temperatured. guarantee their direction13. what does the third paragraph talk about?a. why waterslides are fun.b. what acceleration is.c. how to create acceleration.d. when waterslides were developed.14. what did smegal say about future waterslides?a. they may not depend on gravity.b. they will be built in new ways.c. they will be designed by computers.d.they may not get bigger and better.15. what would be the best title for the text?a. the laws of physicsb. the gravity of earthc. the waterslides of the futured. the science of summer fun第2节

that in many areas around the world it hasnt rained things just as strangeor even stranger!strange rain is reported from all corners of the world from time to time. 17 the logical explanation for such unusual events is that a strong whirlwind picked up the animals from water and carried them for hundreds of miles before dropping them. however, this has yet to be proved and it cant quite account for all the incidents.a powerful whirlwind might well explain a rain of small fish, but not the ones that fell on a village in india. 18 they had come crashing down on them completely out of the blue. and the inhabitants(居民) of a city in southern greece were surprised one morning in 1981 when they woke up to find small green frogs falling from the sky. 19 the greek weather experts came to the conclusion they had been picked up by a strong wind. it must have been extremely powerful! that species of frog was from north africa.20 there have been reports of crabs, birds and soft drink cans. perhaps the strangest are the rains of blood. most people take these reports with a pinch of salt. however, an indian physicist has recently claimed(宣称) that particles(粒子) taken from the red rain showers that fell on kerala in 2001could contain microbes from outer space. this is a far cry from the “sandstorm” theory.a. it must have been extremely powerful!b. other objects can also rain out of the sky.c. you could say that its “raining cats and dogs”.d. personally, i think this story is the most ridiculous of all.e. people reported picking up fish there that weighed up to four kilos.f. weighing just a few grams each, the frogs landed in trees and on to the streets.g. there have been accounts of frog rain, fish rain,and even other bigger animal rain. 第二部分 语言知识运用（共三节）第一节
