11、 mine introduced this rap song lo me all the way back in the early 1990s, when 1 was teaching Spanish at a local university.

Our door in the inner city is constantly knocked on; our

17、previous door in the suburbs rarely so. Sam has a full-time job and cannot spend his days answering requests to fix leaking baths or carry cash to the bank.Sam opened the door and it was Mervin.“Theres a bird on the second floor,” he said. “Its in trouble.”Sam followed Mervin upstairs. Mervin pointe

18、d and turned to let Sam look. It was a pigeon, the most common of all birds, the bird most likely to foul (弄脏) your newly washed car. Andit wasnt flying away. It was stamping in circles. As Sam bent to look, Mervin coughed, “Number two.”Sam asked him to repeat that. “Number two,” Mervin said. The pi

19、geon has been sitting in his own number two, and now its stuck to his foot.”It had rained for five days, and the bird was young. It could have been sheltering in a wet nest of its own waste, which had then dried on its foot, preventing it from flying away. The pigeon moved in a few more circles. Sam

20、 bent to take another look. Mervin said, “All right, then.” and walked away.“Why does everyone think you must solve the problems around here?” I said to Sam when he returned with his story. “Its a bird. Just leave it on the stairs, and let nature take its course.” Sam didnt agree. Then he went to th

21、e garage and emptied the cardboard box containing our imported camping mats. He returned with the gray pigeon in the box. He showed the bird to our children and they decided to keep it.They put its foot in the warm water bath and got rid of its waste. Immediately the pigeon erupted in a bomb of feat

24、ll likely get a detailed explanation about the beloved character that they admire. It might even sound like theyre talking about a person they know.In a study, researchers looked at the brains of a group of people over nine days. Half of the group read the novel Pompeii, and half didnt. After examin

25、ing, researchers found the readers brains showed heightened connectivity (连通性) in some areas. This is likely because the brain imagines the movement and emotions of the character they read about in the book. Even though the participants were then asked not to read the novel, they kept this heightene

26、d connectivity. We call that a “shadow activity”, almost like a muscle memory. So even after youve finished a book, your brain keeps those benefits for some time afterwards.It has been suggested that people who read a lot of fiction become more empathic (移情作用的), because fiction is a simulation (模仿)

27、of social experiences, in which people practice and improve their interpersonal skills. The people who not only read fiction, but felt a high level of “emotional transportation” while reading - as compared to people who werent taken by the story or who read non-fiction-displayed higher levels of emp

28、athy when tested. Increase of empathy is important for people because empathy is positively related to creativity, performance at work and cooperative behaviors.Besides, reading improves “Theory of Mind”. It is “the ability to understand that others have mental states that are different from ones ow

29、n.” Of various activities, reading novels has been found to improve this ability, while watching television programs or movies has been found to do just the opposite - a reduced understanding of others and weaker cognitive (认知的) development overall.Maybe we should put more of a priority on novel-rea

30、ding. And many readers believe that reading a novel is far better and more meaningful than watching any movie. As David Kidd of the New School study said, “Fiction is not just a simulator of a social experience; it is a social experience.”1、What is implied in the Paragraph 2?AReading novels is just

31、a waste of time.BReading novels can help people become happy.CReading novels increases connectivity in our brain.DReading novels helps enhance our memory greatly.2、What do we know about novel readers from Paragraph 3?AThey tend to be emotional in social experiences.BThey understand the emotions of p

32、eople better.CThey like to talk about their favorite characters.DThey are more sensitive to everything.3、Whats the effect of watching TV or movies?AIt distinguishes your views from those of others.BIt contributes to your cognitive development.CIt reduces your empathy for others a lot.DIt changes you

33、r overall mental states.4、What does the underlined word “priority” in the last paragraph mean?APreference.BAuthority.CExposure.DEvaluation.24（8分）Grasse has always been associated with smell. In the Middle Ages it smelt particularly unpleasant due to its leather tanning (制革) industry. The nobles only

34、 rarely visited the pretty and charming town to pick up their handmade leather gloves. In spite of their grand lands in the surrounding countryside? Grasse was certainly a necessary evil with no self-respecting nobles owning buildings there.Molinard, a Grasse tanner (制革工人) himself, created the first

35、 Grasse perfume. Word spread like wildfire amongst the nobles about the designer perfumed gloves. Molinard offered a pair of his gloves to Catherine de Medici (the Queen), who gave plenty of praise to her Grasse perfumed gloves; she almost assured (确保) Grasses reputation as the perfume capital of th

36、e world. Thanks to Catherine de Medici, Grasse merchants were encouraged to grow the perfume plants that tanners needed to supply perfumed leather to the nobles.Grasse has four perfume factories as well as a perfume school and a perfume museum. Fragonards perfume museum is situated on the first floo

37、r of its perfume factory and displays an amazing private collection of perfume bottles, presentation boxes, documents and equipment that tells the history of perfume making from its earliest beginnings to the present day. The perfume museum is open every day, Sundays and public holidays included.Gra

38、sse is certainly a perfumed heaven, a far cry from its smelly beginning as a leather tanning town. Now famous for a far sweeter smell, Grasse is surrounded by fields of flowers that make real estate (不动产) in Grasse very popular.Those looking for real estate in France would have to go a long way to f

39、ind anywhere more charming than Grasse with the city of Nice and its airport just a short drive away and plenty of activities to enjoy in the surrounding countryside. Real estate in Grasse is situated between the Southern Alps and the Cote dAzur, allowing owners the best of both worlds.1、Why was Gra

40、sse considered to be necessary although it was an evil?ABecause it produced leather gloves.BBecause it made the nobles look respectable.CBecause many nobles lived in its countryside.DBecause it was a beautiful and attractive town.2、What can we learn about Fragonards perfume museum?AIt has several pe

41、rfume factories.BIt can be visited all the year round.CIt is famous for its perfume school.DIt shows visitors the history of Grasse.3、What do the underlined words “a far cry” in the 4th paragraph probably mean?Aa good long cryBtotally absentCvery differentDfar distant4、What is the main idea of the l
