(A)

Autumn blues? Let the sunshine in.Falling leaves, withering flowers, cold winds, faint sunshine.1Spirits can be low.People who suffer from “the autumn blues” often are extremely exhausted, lack energy, need more sleep, feel increased appetite and gain weight.“The exact cause of this condition, often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder(SAD), is not known yet, ”says Chen Jue, associate professor at Shanghai Mental Health Center.“But recent studies indicate that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this condition is caused by changes in the availability of sunlight.”

One theory is that with decreased exposure to sunlight, the biological clock that regulates mood, sleep, and hormones is delayed, running more slowly in winter.2Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit information between nerves may be altered(改变）in individuals with SAD.It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances.“”Chen says.Here are some tips to deal with autumn depression.·Go outdoors and get some sunlight.Move around.Fresh air and exercise improve the respiratory(呼吸）system and blood circulation and regulate the nervous system.Thus, exercise calms and relieves one’s mood.·Relax at work.Stretch andbreathe deeply.Take a tea break.Think of your next vacation.·4Chocolate and sugar raise the spirits.·Look at bright colors, such as red and orange.Color therapy improves mood.·Listen to your favorite music.You can dance to it, or just lie on a cozy couch, reading a novel.·

·Call friends or family when you feel lonely or depressed.Recall some happy memories.A.Exposure to light may reset the biological clock.B.Decorate your room and work space with flowers.C.It is a sad season, but you can try to make it happy.D.That is the way you can use to lighten yourself.E.Keep a chocolate bar in your pocket.F.For many people late autumn can be a season of gloom and depression(抑郁）.G.Autumn always gives us a beautiful scene.(B)

As is known to all, in the world, due to different histories and traditional customs and so on, different countries have different cultures, and different cultures have a different effect on different people’s lives.It’s clear that culture is playing an important role in people’s life and constantly changing people’s lifestyles.6 When you think of American culture, what first comes to your mind? McDonald’s? Coca Cola? Levi’s? Disneyland? Michael Jordan? Julia Roberts?7As a matter of fact, these symbols are only one small part of American culture—pop culture.What is pop culture?

Well，pop is short for popular.The origins of pop culture can often be traced to popular movies, television shows, music stars and sports figures.8The most common examples of American pop culture appear among high school and college students.Trends set by famous personalities quickly become part of young people’s lifestyles.9One major reason for its popularity is that English is a universal language.English is the language of diplomacy(外交），international business and transportation.Since language and culture go together, learning English means becoming aware of English-speaking cultures.10The kind of American culture communicated in those media is pop culture.Finally, pop culture is easy to package and to export.For that reason, it is easy to “sell” to the world.A.American advertising is well-known.B.What about American culture?

C.American pop culture has spread around the world.D.Pop culture is also promoted by business and advertising.E.Also, America is a world leader in movies, music and magazines.F.Sports stars are liked by school students as well as college students.G.Many people imagine American culture is a collection of popular symbols like these.答案解析

中国传统建筑的文化反思

叶廷芳

我们的木构建筑——这里指达到辉煌程度的木构建筑——至少已有两千多年的历史。在这漫长的过程中，从形式到风格都只是单一的发展，没有发生过质的变化，可谓‚两千年一贯制‛。而欧洲人的石构建筑，仅自古希腊罗马起，其风格上的更新换代至少在一打以上。

造成这种差别的原因之一，恐怕是我们习惯于承袭思维，总爱向前人看齐：以前人的水平为坐标，一味以前人的成就为荣耀，为自满。而欧洲人不管前人有多大成就，都不满足，敢于向前人挑战，设法超越他们。两种不同的文化心态导致两种不同的结果：一个着重在前人基础上渐进发展，少有革新；一个则不断推陈出新，向前跨越。

建筑作为艺术的一门和审美的载体，它的生命在于不断创新，因为人的审美意识是不断变迁的，而且这也是历史发展的客观要求。从19世纪下半叶起，从世界范围看，由于新的建筑学理论和新的建筑材料的诞生，建筑开始了一场崭新的革命。中国的木构建筑作为农耕时代的产物，也已走完了它的历史进程，面临着蜕变。近代西方思潮作为强势文化迅猛地涌入我国，这意味着客观形势已不允许中国建筑从自己的娘胎里孕育出自己民族的建筑新胚胎，我们一边招架，一边接受；来不及细嚼，难免囫囵吞枣。整个20世纪我们在总体上就未能跳出西方建筑的大窠臼，既没有创造出属于我们自己民族的建筑新胚胎，也没有在世界新思潮中取得令人瞩目的地位。到世纪末一看缺少自己的东西，没有进行必要的反思，马上又求助于老祖宗，把前人留下的那些遗产，即把‚大屋顶‛风格当作中华民族永恒不变的建筑美学法则和艺术模式，到处用钢筋水泥搞复古。传统是必须继承的，怎么能割断历史的延续性呢？但是我们的祖先在当时物质条件很简单、相关的理论很缺乏的条件下，在艺术和建筑领域创造了辉煌的业绩。我们今天在更优越的条件下，还只知去重复它们，那确实是太‚没有出息‛了！任何民族只有重视今天的创造才有利于推动历史的发展。

另外，罗马人早在公元前一世纪就有了《十建筑书》，不仅对当时的建筑技术和艺术作了详尽的记载，而且作了理论提升，成为世界上第一部较完备的建筑理论著作。之后文艺复兴时期的《建筑四书》等对欧洲建筑理论作了认真而详尽的梳理和阐发，对尔后的欧美建筑起了不可低估的作用。相比之下，作为木构建筑水平最高、经验最丰富的国家，我们在这方面的建树就要逊色得多。直到汉代我们才有了一部《考工记》，还属于政策、法规一类。之后过了上千年，到五代至北宋才有了一部《木经》，之后元代的《经世大典》《梓人遗制》，又多半失传。宋代的《营造法式》和清代的《工部工程做法则例》，都只着重在建筑材料、施工技术和管理方面的记述，理论升华和探索仍较缺乏。

6．下列对作者关于中国传统建筑的文化反思的理解，不正确的一项是

（）A．我们习惯于承袭思维，习惯于向前人看齐，而不习惯于超越前人。B．20世纪我们的建筑由于客观形势的制约，在总体上未能跳出西方建筑的大窠臼。C．建筑理论总结和理论建设的滞后性，制约着我们建筑的发展． D．创造意识淡薄，鲜见图变求新的极具影响力的建筑作品，这需要我们认真深刻反省。

7．下列表述符合原文意思的一项是

（）A．“大屋顶”风格是中华民族的传统建筑美学法则和艺术模式。B．中国的木构建筑作为农耕时代的产物，已经完成了历史使命，退出了历史舞台。C．“继承传统”其实是对前人的形式和风格的模仿和重复。

D．作为我们的民族遗产，扎扎实实地搞好木构建筑是无可厚非的。

8．根据原文提供的信息，以下推断不正确的一项是

（）A．在建筑文化心态上，我们中国人总习惯于模仿前人，而不善于探讨未知。B．宋代的《营造法式》和清代的《工部工程做法则例》等仍是我国建筑遗产的精华。C．我们的相当多的建筑师都在试图摆脱“工匠心态”的束缚，力图在建筑理论方面有所建树。

D．热衷于“重修圆明园”的呼声，其实就是承袭思维的一种极端表现。

文言文阅读（9分）

阅读下面一段文言文，完成10.~12题。

壬戌之秋,七月既望，苏子与客泛舟游于赤壁之下。清风徐来,水波不兴。举酒属客，诵明月之诗，歌窈窕之章。少焉，月出于东山之上，徘徊于斗牛之间。白露横江，水光接天。纵一苇之所如，凌万顷之茫然。浩浩乎如冯虚御风，而不知其所止；飘飘乎如遗世独立，羽化而登仙。

于是饮酒乐甚，扣弦而歌之，歌曰：‚桂棹兮兰桨，击空明兮溯流光，渺渺兮余怀，望美人兮天一方。‛客有吹洞箫者，倚歌而和之，其声呜呜然，如怨如慕，如泣如诉，余音袅袅，不绝如缕。舞幽壑之潜蛟，泣孤舟之嫠妇。

苏子愀然，正经危坐而问客曰：‚何为其然也？‛客曰：‚‘月明星稀，乌鹊南飞’，此非曹孟德之诗乎？西望夏口，东望武昌，山川相繆，郁乎苍苍。此非孟德之困于周郎者乎？方其破荆州，下江陵，顺流而东也，舳舻千里，旌旗蔽空，酾酒临江，横槊赋诗。固一世之雄也，而今安在哉？况吾与子渔樵于江渚之上，侣鱼虾而友麋鹿，驾一叶之扁舟，举匏樽以相属。寄浮游于天地，渺沧海之一粟。哀吾生之须臾，羡长江之无穷。挟飞仙以遨游，抱明月而长终。知不可乎骤得，托遗响于悲风。‛

9．下列加点字的用法和意义分析正确的是

（）

A． 歌窈窕之章．B．舞幽壑之潜蛟．C．侣鱼虾而友麋鹿．D．寄浮游于天地．．A． 方其破荆州，下江陵，顺流而东也 B． 客有吹洞箫者，倚歌而和之 C． 渔樵于江渚之上，侣鱼虾而友麋鹿 D． 挟飞仙以遨游，抱明月而长终歌：名词用作动词，歌吟。舞：动词的使动用法，使„„起舞。侣：名词的使动用法，使„„为伴侣。浮游：名词作状语，像浮游那样。（）10．句中“而”字用法不同于其他三项的是

11．《赤壁赋》中对于水和月作了反复的描写，对其作用下列分析不正确的是（）

A．因为文章写的是一次夜游赤壁的经历，作为记游写景的文章，必须要写当时当地之景，水和月就是赤壁这个地方的特有景物，所以反复描写。B．以景抒情，融情入景。开篇写水的澄澈和月的皎洁与多情，以及全景的迷离浩瀚，是为了表现作者此时心胸开阔，舒畅，无拘无束的游江之乐。C．第二段“击空明兮溯流光”的诗句，是就《月出》之诗生发而来的，由月而美人，由美人而政治理想。表现了作者遭受贬谪之后，仍然坚持对生活的执着态度，坚持

对朝廷政事的关切。

D．第三段“客”借夜游赤壁所见的长江、明月的无穷，与英雄人物与英雄业绩的易逝，生发出“哀吾省之须臾，羡长江之无穷”的悲叹与“挟飞仙以遨游，抱明月而长终”的幻想。

1C（实验—试验）

2．C（A主宾不对应，“安定团结”不能对应“成败”，B“防止此类事件不再发生”应该为

“防止此类事件再次发生”）

3．D（“斧正”是敬辞，用于对方修改自己的东西）

4．示例：

是要有赤胆忠心的爱国精神，文天祥奉献热血生命，执着报效国家，从容就义；

是要有蔑视权贵的傲岸人格，庄子鄙视王侯将相，甘心沉醉山水，潇洒出世。

5．（1）示例一：拿的是无主之物，失的是自身人格。

示例二：万花丛中过，片叶不沾身。

示例三：苟非吾之所有，虽一毫而莫取。

（2）示例：

观点：“梨虽无主，我心有主”，许衡的做法乍看迂腐，实则是一种非常难得的做人准则。理由一：人生面临许多诱惑，面对诱惑不动心，身不被物役，心不被金迷，看起来容易做起来难。

理由二：这是一种难得的定力，没有一定的精神支柱，没有一种良好的心态，没有高超的做人修养，是很难坚持的。

6．B（文不对题。B项谈的是中国目前建筑的形状，而不是“中国传统建筑的文化”）

7．A（B项“完成了历史使命，退出了历史舞台”错；C项“继承传统”不仅仅是“模仿和重

复”；D项文中无此意）

8． C（根据文意推断不出有人在进行这方面的尝试）

9．C（侣：意动用法，把„„当作伴侣）

I had an unusual conversation with a woman about physical limitations.Nancy suffered 1 a serious disease and she could no longer walk.She spent her 2(wake)hours in a wheelchair.“I’m not ‘confined(限制)’ to a wheelchair,” she insisted one day.“It doesn’t confine me but 3(set)me free.”

She asked me, “Do you want to know 4 reason for living?” “What is it?” I wondered.“To liberate people.To set them free.Before I got my wheelchair,” she explained, “I had trouble getting around.Now I can go places!However I can free people, I want to do 5.” “People speak of being ‘shut in,’” she continued.“People 6 are confined to a room or a house or a bed are not ‘shut in.’ They’re ‘shut out’ – shut out of activities and shut out of people’s lives.So my aim is to liberate people, to set them free, however I can.”

Because of her disease, Nancy now helps people find ways of gaining more physical 7(free).Listen to these words from Darwin P.Kingsley: “You have powers you never dreamed 8.You can do things you never thought you 9 do.There are no limitations in 0 you can do except the limitations of your own mind.” 【参考答案】

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

Harvard University named historian Drew Gilpin Faust as its first female president on Sunday, ending a lengthy and secretive search to find a successor（接任者）to Lawrence Summers.The seven-member Harvard Corporation elected Faust, a noted scholar on History of the American South and dean of Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, as the university’s 28th president.“This is a great day, and a historic day for Harvard,” James R.Houghton, chairman of the presidential search committee, said in a statement.“Drew Faust is an inspiring and accomplished leader, a superb scholar, a dedicated（献身的)teacher, and a wonderful human being.” Her selection is noteworthy given the heated debates over Summers’ comments that genetic differences between the sexes might help explain the lack of women in top science jobs.Faust has been dean of Radcliffe since 2001, two years after the former women’s college was combined into the university as a research center with a mission to study gender issues(性别问题).Some professors have quietly groused that the 371-year-old university is appointing a fifth president who is not a scientist.No scientist has had the top job since James Bryant Conant retired in 1953;its last four have come from the fields of classics, law, literature and economics.Faust is the first Harvard president who did not receive a degree from the university since Charles Chauncy, a graduate of Cambridge University, who died in office in 1762.She attended the University of Pennsylvania.“Teaching staff turned to her constantly,” said Sheldon Hackney, a former president of the University of Pennsylvania and historian who worked closely with Faust.“She’s very clear.She has a sense of humor, but she’s very strong-minded.You come to trust in her because she’s so solid.”

1.Which might be the best title for the passage? A.Harvard named its 1st female president.B.History of Harvard University changed.C.Debates on female equality ended.D.Drew Gilpin Faust, a famous woman historian.2.Which is NOT true about Drew Gilpin Faust?

A

No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student.Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once.Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward.But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both.I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry.Poetry is “ a criticism of life”, and “ a heightening(提升)of life”.It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”.It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.1.To have a better understanding of a poem, one should________.A.discuss it with othersB.analyze it by oneself

C.copy it down in a notebookD.practise reading it aloud

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?

A.Extending your lifeB.Saving your life

C.Criticizing lifeD.Heightening life

3.According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students________.A.to understand life.B.to enjoy poetry.C.to become teachers.D.to become poets

4.What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?

A.More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.B.Poetry is more important than any other subject.C.One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry

D.Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses

5.The phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by

A.“build a booth”B.“provide equipment”

C.“leave a certain amount of time”D.“set aside enough space”

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the learned in the early days of the history, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud.Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular.One should be careful, however, of supposing that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is distraction（分散注意力）to others.Examination of reasons connected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a gradual increase in literacy（读写能力）and thus in the number of readers.As readers increased, so the number of listeners dropped, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud.As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way.Towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening.Indeed this argument remains with us still in education.However, whatever its advantages are, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and magazines for a specialized readership on the other.By the end of t he century students were being advised to have some new ideas of books and to use skills in reading them which were not proper, if not impossible, for the oral reader.The social, cultural, and technological developments in the century had greatly changed what the term

“reading” referred to.6.Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century?

A.Because silent reading had not been discovered.B.Because there were few places for private reading.C.Because few people could read for themselves.D.Because people depended on reading for enjoyment.7.The development of silent reading during the nineteenth century showed_______.A.a change in the position of literate people

B.a change in the nature of reading

C.an increase in the number of books

D.an increase in the average age of readers

8.Educationalists are still arguing about__________.A.the importance of silent reading

B.the amount of information provided by books and newspapers

C.the effects of reading on health

D.the value of different types of reading material

9.What is the writer of this passage attempting to do?

A.To explain how present day reading habits developed.B.To change people’s way to read.C.To show how reading methods have improved.D.To encourage the growth of reading.C

Sherlock Holmes is considered by many people as the greatest detective in fictional literature.He is, in fact, more famous than his own creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.In the popular series of stories, Holmes is described as “tall and lean, pope-smoking, always in his cape and speaks in a splendid manner”.Doyle gave Holmes’ address as 221-B Baker Street, London, and to this day some visitors to London still go to Baker Street to search for 221-B.Of course, there never was really any such address.Holmes’ flat was supposed to be shared by the lovable, but sometimes clumsy Doctor Watson who went around with Holmes trying to solve crimes before Holmes did.Poor Dr Watson lost out to Holmes every time.Doyle gave Holmes a masterly skill of deduction---the ability to come up with interesting conclusion from the simplest clues found at the scene of a crime.Doyle said that the description of Holmes was modeled on one of his lecturers at Edinburgh University where he studied medicine.That man was Dr Joseph Bell.Sherlock Holmes first appeared in Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet published in 1887.Holmes was so loved by all that when his author killed him off in one of his stories, readers wrote in anger to complain.They refused to allow Holmes to die!Holmes was brought back to “life” and appeared in further stories.The stories of Sherlock Holmes have been reprinted many times ever since then.Today we can watch Holmes at work on cinema and television screens as well as on stage.10.Sherlock Holmes was________.A.the greatest detective who ever lived
