MilneWinnie-the-Pooh has been introduced and reintroduced to generation after generation as a model of a childs best friend. However, not everyone has found Pooh is lovely. This classic has been banned in a variety of countries at one point. So why would anyone ever want to keep children from the joy of Milnes classic? In the case of Russia, Winnie-the-Pooh was banned in 2009 because of alleged Nazi (纳粹党的) ties.The Wonderful Wizard of Oz By Frank BaumOriginally published in the year 1900, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is one of the foundations of the fairytale genre. Who, then, would seek to ban a book that has become so important to the American experience?America is that who. The Detroit Library banned The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1957 for having no value for children.Charlottes WebBy E. B. WhiteWhites tale of the relationship between two unexpected creatures, a spider and a pig, has been drawing children in for over half a century. Published in 1952, this classic has been readily available on most library shelves for children to read. However, some people would like to make this book never see the light of day.In one extreme case, a school in England banned Charlottes Web for fear that the pig Wilbur might be offensive (冒犯的) to Muslim students. Fortunately, the Muslim Council of Britain saw the foolishness of this ban, so the book was quickly restored to its right place on the shelves.Where the Wild Things AreBy Maurice SendakThough its first copy was published fifty years ago, this book hasnt always been readily available in libraries and in stores.

Riding his yellow motorcycle, which he calls Kindness One, he is attempting to travel around the world on nothing but the kindness of strangers. No money. No food. Nowhere to stay. Logothetis is counting on the generosity of the human spirit to keep him going.“Its all about inspiring other people and being inspired myself,” Logothetis spoke of his passion project today on “Good Morning America”.So far, he has achieved continuous success. In Las Vegas, a family gave him food and a place to sleep. In Nebraska, cowboys let him stay with them on their ranch (大牧场).“The American people have been absolutely fantastic,” Logothetis said. And in Pittsburgh, after a dozen people turned him down, Logothetis met Tony, a homeless man who shared his food and let Logothetis sleep with him in a dilapidated (破旧的) garage. “It was so inspiring for me,” Logothetis said. “The people in Pittsburgh hadnt really helped me but he offered me a place to stay. He gave me food, he gave me some clothes, and he inspired me.”So just how far can kindness get you? Logothetis is determined to find out.“I used to be a broker (经纪人) in London, sitting behind a desk, working 12 hours a day, and it wasnt for me,” he explained. “Then I went and traveled around the world and connected with people. And thats what its all about. Thats where the magic is: connection. Heart to heart.”On his blog, Logothetis says hell board a ship from New York to Europe, adding hell do so “as a non-paying passenger”.He also lists an itinerary (旅行) that would lead him to travel to France, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, India, Bhutan, Cambodia and Vietnam, among other countries.His journey will be filmed as a TV show. The trip also serves to raise awareness about and raise funds for Make a Wish International.4. Whats the authors main purpose in writing the passage?A. To encourage people to travel.B.

Scientists at Harvard University in Massachusetts have created a new kind of mechanical “insect”, called RoboBees. RoboBees fly through the air by the remote control. They are about as big as a quarter and weigh less than a tenth of a gram.“This is the first demonstration (实例) that you can make insect-like robots and control them in flight,” says Robert Wood, one of the Harvard professors who helped create the robots.RoboBees are currently controlled remotely, like a toy helicopter. But the scientists are working on building small brains for them. That will allow the robots to carry out important tasks without humans controlling them. One of those tasks is assisting with search-and-rescue operations. For example, RoboBees could help get cameras inside a collapsed building. They could also be programmed to monitor environmental conditions. Dozens of them could fan out over a wide area and detect dangerous chemicals that could harm wildlife. And RoboBees might just be able to help real bees with an important job. Bees play a key role in agriculture. They pollinate (给授粉) plants. For the last few years, many bees have been mysteriously disappearing, which could mean trouble for farming in the future. RoboBees may be able to help if there are not enough real bees available.Despite their name, RoboBees flight was patterned after that of a fly. The robots wings beat about 120 times per second. But RoboBees are not the only robots that are based on animals. Scientists around the world are borrowing designs from the animal kingdom. 8. According to the passage, we know RoboBees _. A. are just a kind of toy helicoptersB. are operated by remote controlsC. are just an idea of some scientistsD. will become honeybees good friends9. We can infer that in the future RoboBees will _.A. get out of controlB. be more intelligentC. be used in helicoptersD. replace traditional toys10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The use of RoboBees.B. The flight of RoboBees.C. The creation of RoboBees.D. The development of RoboBees.11. What will the author most probably talk about next?A. The flight of flies.B. RoboBees characteristics.C. The origin of RoboBees name. D. Some other robots based on animals.DTrying to find happiness in a world so busy and complicated can seem impossible. Whats strange is that in so many ways our lives are objectively better than our grandparents lives. We have more yet we often feel worse. Dont you think that life is happier when it is simpler? I do.Economics tells us that more choice is better. And for most of human existence that has been true. But research is showing that more choice is not always better. Overflowing email inboxes, 500 television channels and 175 different kinds of salad at the grocery store dont make life drastically better its paralyzed (使瘫痪). The standard way of thinking about this is that more choice will help some people and hurt no one. But it turns out that when people have too many options, instead of being liberated by all these choices, theyre paralyzed. They cant choose at all. And if they overcome paralysis, they make worse decisions.More options in the dating market should mean youre more likely to meet the perfect person, right? In a study of speed, dating people were more likely to find a match when they had only 6 choices instead of 12. It would seem like youd make more matches when you saw 12 people than when you saw 6 but what they found is the reverse. There were more matches made when people saw 6 people than when they saw 12 people.And the scary thing is that choice doesnt just paralyze us it also makes us unhappy. Even if you manage to overcome paralysis and choose well, you end up less satisfied because its so easy to imagine that one of the options you rejected would have been better than the option that you chose. Thats what the research has shown. It doesnt happen all the time. It doesnt happen to all people but it happens at least some of the time to most people.12. According to the author, people today _.A. envy their grandparents lives greatlyB. are rich materially but poor spirituallyC. are good at bridging the generation gapD. enjoy a comfortable and healthy lifestyle 13. The underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 4 probably means _. A. truthB. evidenceC. oppositeD. breakthrough 14. Why does choice cause most people unhappiness according to the last paragraph? A. They fail to make the right choice.B. They get greedier facing more options. C. They tend to feel regret for their choice. D. They need more options to satisfy their desires.15. The best title of the article might be _.A. How to make a choice B. The richer, the sadderC. Where to find happiness D. The simpler, the happier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。Do you want to improve your quality of life? Here is some advice. 1. Make it a point of doing something brave every day. 16 This might mean talking to someone that you generally wouldnt talk to or starting a project that you feel afraid of. There is no need to plan it in advance.2. Learn something new. Pick a topic, especially something you know nothing about and learn something from it. 17 It helps to keep it if you have time to make a note of what you have learned. 3. Debate something.

Howard felt guilty. Therefore, Howard didnt use the 37 any more from then on.Each year I use this story to pass some 38 to all of the young fathers.
