road I always answer with the famous saying The end is nothing the road is all That is what I mean when I say writing has been a pleasure I have never used the computer with the thought that one more task had to be done Like most writers Willa Cather did not write books for the money that they brought her but rather for the pleasure that came in their writing Her works were like her simple and full of the vigor 活力 of her days in Nebraska 5 where she grew from child to young womanhood and where she developed a deep 1ove for the treeless land of the great plain with its wild flowers wheat fields and rivers It s a rather strange thing about the flat country she wrote later It takes hold of you or it leaves you perfectly cold A great many people find it very dull they like a church tower an old factory a waterfall the country all made to look like a German Christmas card But when I come to the open plain something happens I m home I breathe differently 56 Willa Cather wrote books for money didn t she A YesB NO C Sometimes she wrote for money D We don t know 57 Willa Cather wrote because she found writing A simple and livelyB opened up a road to success C neither too hard nor too easyD interesting and enjoyable 58 What was the place like where Cather grew up A It was cold plain with a church B It was vast open flat and wild C It was like a German Christmas card D It was a colorful world of wild flowers 59 What happens when Cather comes to the open plain A She breathes differently from others B She wants to make the place her home C She feels completely comfortable D She finds the place similar to her home B Though my career as a banker was financially rewarding I was never content with the work I was annoyed by my workmates coldness and endless counting Gradually I began to envy my wife Julie s teaching career which was full of passion and challenges However I admitted that leaving a secure 保险的 无忧的 position and going to school needed courage One winter evening I heard Julie complaining about a student s bad academic performance She said Baxter used to do his homework very well but it has dropped recently The next evening when I arrived home Julie asked Will you drive me to Baxter s house I want to talk with his family about his homework After an hour a hut 简陋的小屋 stood before us Baxter was busy gathering firewood in the front yard Seeing us Baxter was surprised but greeted us happily Julie asked Where are your parents Baxter said they were not in We found that it was dark in the hut On our way home Julie cried His work was good in the early autumn when the days were longer But now in the dark he can t do his homework Then she decided to help him so that he could focus on his studies I was moved by her kindness and I wanted to help poor students At the end of the month I said goodbye to the bank Now I am teaching the students and I love my job 60 We can learn from the first paragraph that A the career as a banker was of coldness 6 B the writer got along very well with his workmates C the writer was not satisfied with his work and wanted to try making a change C many people considered the teaching career a secure position 61 Which of the following might be the most proper description 描述 about Julie A Patient but powerful B Kind and helpful C Firm but firendly D Hardworking and practical 62 What can we infer 推断 from the text A There were no lights in Baxter s house B Baxter was an orphan C The writer is a teacher now D The event happened in summer 63 Why did the writer envy his wife s teaching career Because A he was not content with his work B his pay wasn t high C he loved his wife D theaching career was filled with challenges and passion 7 C When I was growing up I was embarrassed to be seen with my father He was severely crippled and very short and when we would walk together his hand on my arm for balance people would stare If he ever noticed or was bothered he never let on It was difficult to coordinate 协调 our steps his slow mine impatient and because of that we didn t say much as we went along But as we started out he always said You set the pace I will try to adjust to you He never talked about himself as an object of pity nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able What he looked for in others was a good heart and if he found one the owner was good enough for him Now that I am older I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people even though I still don t know accurately 精确地 what a good heart is But I know the times I don t have one myself Unable to engage in many activities my father still tried to participate in some way I now know he participated in some things indirectly through me his only son When I played ball poorly he played too When I joined the Navy he joined too And when I came home on leave he saw to it that 务必保证 一定 I visited his office Introducing me he was really saying This is my son but it is also me and I could have done this too if things had been different Those words were never said aloud He has been gone many years now but I think of him often I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks If he did I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was how unworthy I was how I regretted it I think of him when I complain about small affairs when I am envious of another s good fortune when I don t have a good heart At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance and say You set the pace I will try to adjust to you 64 The author felt unhappy walking with his father because A he was pitiful for his father s physical disability B it was hard for them to walk at the same pace C he didn t want others to know he had an ugly father D it was not easy for his father to keep balance 65 In the

proud of his only son B the father took part in all his son s activities C the author was upset when asked to his father s office D the author was a good ball player and outstanding soldier 67 According to the last paragraph by saying You set the pace I will try to adjust to you the author means that A he is now glad to help his father to walk 8 B he regrets his unwillingness to walk with his father C he will follow Father s standards of being a good man D he will never forget how mentally strong his father was C The year was 1932 Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to
