theyre the children he meets while storytelling in different places. for example his story ribbon rescue was inspired by a girl who came to hear his story wearing a ribbon dress. another story called lighthouse was inspired by two children named amanda and jeremiah who he met in pontiac, michigan. his own children have also played some parts in his stories.munsch has written many books which have also been translated into various languages. his first books the mud puddle and the dark were published in 1979. his most notable work is the book love you forever, which was published in 1986. this book became an international bestseller.robert munsch is known for his overstated (夸张的) way of storytelling and use of different voices. he repeats a story many times to improve its quality. some of his books have also been made into animated (动画的) series named a bunch of munsch.24after graduation, robert munsch _.abecame a priestbset up a day care centercdecided to take up teaching in a collegedprepared himself for his desirable career path解析：选d细节理解题。由第一段中的“then he changed his career path towards writing stories for children”可知，后来robert munsch开始了为儿童写故事的事业。25what does robert munsch think of storytelling according to paragraph 2?aits the perfect job for him.bit involves a lot of hard work.cits hard to satisfy the audience.dits easy to be bored with the job.解析：选b细节理解题。由第二段中的“according to munsch, a perfect story takes 200 tellings in order to become perfect.”可知， robert munsch认为讲好故事需要付出努力。26what can we infer from paragraph 3?amunsch got ideas for his stories from real life.bmunschs traveling experiences are interesting.cmunsch helped many children while storytelling.dmunschs children helped him create some stories.解析：选a推理判断题。由第三段的描述可知，munsch故事中的人物都来自于真实的生活，他的很多故事的灵感都来自于他在不同的地方讲故事时遇到的孩子们。27which of the following best describes robert munsch?abrave and caring.btalented and devoted.cdetermined and patient.dwarmhearted and honest.解析：选b推理判断题。本文主要讲述了加拿大童书作家robert munsch的故事。由文中的描述可知，robert munsch非常有天赋，而且全身心投入到给儿童讲故事和写故事中。clast year, the mostread childrens books at least in the uk were almost all fantasy novels. but why is this the case? what exactly does fantasy offer to young readers?whats important to point out here is that fantasy writing has come to be considered as belonging to popular culture, and is therefore generally regarded as being of lower quality than realism (现实主义)this idea was formed in me during childhood by my mother, who believed that fantasy was “rubbish”. (she was always trying to persuade my two brothers to let go off their dogeared copies of american author david eddings books and read something “proper”)i had also met some people who were against reading fantasy. while living in finland, where i joined a book club, i was told at my first meeting that the club didnt read “genre” books which meant that realism was “in”， but everything else including fantasy was “out”when it comes to the subject of children, discussions about which books are “better” for them often focus on the fantasy and realism debate, causing professor john stephens to write that: one of the more curious sides to the criticism (批评) of childrens literature is the strong wish to separate fantasy and realism into competing types, and to state that children prefer one or the other, or “progress” from fantasy to realism or vice versa (反之亦然)a quick survey of the big childrens publishing trends (趋势) over the past ten years confirms that fantasy is as popular as ever in the childrens book scene. from the 450 million copies of harry potter books sold over this period, to the more recent stephenie meyers twilight series, it would seem that children are as enthusiastic about fantasy as ever before and rather than “progressing” out of fantasy, the popularity of fantasy in the young adult market would suggest just the opposite.28what was the authors mothers attitude towards fantasy?auncaring.bcautious.cunfavorable. denthusiastic.解析：选c观点态度题。由第三段中的描述可知，作者的母亲认为奇幻文学是“垃圾”，故不喜欢奇幻文学。29the book club the author joined in finland _.adidnt have a realistic aimbwas always full of people in and outchad a tense atmosphere in most casesdwas not acceptive of various literature styles解析：选d推理判断题。由第四段中的“the club didnt read genre books which meant that realism was in， but everything else including fantasy was out”可知，这个读书俱乐部不接纳多样的文学流派。30according to professor john stephens, the critics of childrens literature _.awant to separate children into different groupsbwant to divide fantasy and realism into separate groupscaim to get children to progress from fantasy to realismdwish to explore the difference between fantasy and realism解析：选b细节理解题。由第五段中的“one of the more curious sides to the criticism (批评) of childrens . into competing types”可知，儿童文学批评家想把奇幻文学与现实文学分化成对立的流派。31harry potter and twilight series are mentioned in the last paragraph to show that _.afantasy is still popular among childrenbboth books are the bestsellers of the timecyoung readers are moving away from fantasydthe young adult market is lively and competitive解析：选a推理判断题。由最后一段的“fantasy is as popular as ever in the childrens book scene”和“children are as enthusiastic about fantasy as ever before”可知，奇幻文学像以前一样深受孩子们喜欢。dwhen i think about what i want for my children as they grow up, i think of the kind of people id like them to become: adults who are kind, thoughtful and grateful, who laugh often and find excitement in life. i hope they surround themselves with whatever brings them joy.mike ferry, a longtime middle school teacher, says contrary to what many believe, success does not always bring happiness; but research has shown that the opposite is true happier people are more likely to be successful in life. when we are in a positive state of mind, our brains become more creative, energetic, and effective at work.it turns out we can teach our children how to be happy by encouraging certain habits.the first is gratitude. teaching children to be grateful can seem like a daunting task. it is easy to get stuck in the consumer mentality (消费者心态) of society; children get used to the idea that more is better. but the way of saying “no” to children in order to develop a grateful attitude cannot be used too much. we should help them focus on being grateful for what they already have rather than on what they want next.kindness is another skill we can teach our children to help them find greater happiness. we can encourage kindness in children by modeling it within our homes. be kind, especially during disagreements, and praise even small acts of kindness. teach tolerance, highlight opportunities to give back to your community and volunteer as a family if possible.happiness is not something that falls out of the sky and into our childrens laps. it is a wonderfully complex state of mind that can be improved with practice. and im willing to bet that we all want our children to experience happiness and joy in life.32what does the author value most from her children?awhether they are happy.bhow successful they are.cwhen they will feel grateful.dwhere they show their kindness.解析：选a推理判断题。由第一段“i hope they surround themselves with whatever brings them joy.”和最后一段“and im willing to bet that we all want our children to experience happiness and joy in life.”可知，作者最重视孩子是否快乐的问题。33in the eyes of mike ferry, _.asuccess means happinessbsuccess is of no importancechappiness equals creativitydhappiness helps bring about success解析：选d细节理解题。由第二段“. happier people are more likely to be successful in life.”可知，快乐的人更有可能获得成功。34the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 4 is the closest in meaning to “_”aimmediate bdiscouragingcfundamental dimpossible解析：选b词义猜测题。由画线词之后的内容可知，鼓励孩子们有感恩心，很容易陷入到社会的消费者心态中，孩子们习惯于认为越多越好。而通过拒绝孩子来培养感恩的态度又不能被过度使用。因此教孩子懂得感恩似乎是个“令人怯步的”任务。35what is the best way to teach kids to be kind to others?aavoiding disagreements.bpraising kids for anything.corganizing family gettogethers.dsetting a good example in person.解析：选d细节理解题。由第五段“we can encourage kindness in children by modeling it within our homes.”可知，作者认为最好的方法是在家里做好榜样。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 grow houseplantshave you ever killed a beautiful houseplant? are you still killing beautiful houseplants? _36_ well, look no further, just follow these stepbystep instructions and your plant killing days will be over.first of all, buy an easytogrow plant that can survive you. if you need a desert cactus (仙人掌) for a starter plant, then thats fine. _37_next, make sure your plant gets enough sunlight. _38_ the window will act as a prism (棱镜) and fry your plant. what you want to do is have a window with a light curtain. it should be transparent (透明的). in that way your plant gets its need
