The result? Lees book trailed onlyThe Bible.Alongside the works of Shakespeare and Twain， this novel remains one of the mostwidely taught books nationwide ， reaching about 70% of American public schools.What makes it such a typical read for young people？English class is a place where young Americans come to know themselves. Inthe folds of dusty books, students can make contact with humanity beyond theshallow small talk of the school hallways. Disturbed by hormones and anxiety，teenagers get through school with confusion and frustration. Literature is asafety valve ( 安 全 阀 ）- it promises relief ，a place to figure out onesproblems and get to know oneself better.The novel particularly distinguishes itself in this aspect. It speaks in achilds voice without treating its readership as children 。Some critics havecalled it an “impossible” achievement，a childrens book penned by a well。educated adult - its unlikely that a child like Scout could exist in the realworld。 But thats exactly what makes it such a charming， attractive read foryoung people 。It indicates the consciousness of a well.educated adult facingdifficult realities, but describes it through the light and playful voice of acurious little girl。GabyHick,athirdyearstudentfocusedonEnglishliteratureatBrownUniversity， calls it “one of the first books that kids and young adults readand that deal with serious issues - rape，race, mental issues”。She adds,“The story makes these adult themes accessible because of Scout.” The books setting，a small town in Alabama affected by the Great Depression of the1930s，may appear very different from the experience of most kids reading ittoday. But Lees words make her story feel alive and present.In 2006, however, critic Thomas Mallon expressed his regret about the booksavoiding moral complexity inThe New Yorker。But her novelmakes a greatteaching tool for teenagersprecisely because its moral view is as clear asthat of one of Aesops fables. That absence of ambiguity in this novel doesntmean the novel is free of challenging ideas ， either. Will Serratelli ， anotherliterature student at Brown says ，“There arentmany hard moral questionsbeing asked .。 but it opens up all these other questions that I hadnt thoughtabout before. My English teachers always asked, Do you sympathize with thischaracter？ Would you want to hang out with them ？ When you give a kid a bookwherethosequestionsdontevenneedtobeasked,it_forces_them_to_dig_deeper。”Mallons criticism is accurate in that this novel may present too limited aview of racism in America 。 Thats especially problematic because it is one ofthe only books consistently assigned to American students that acknowledge racialdiscriminationatall.However,To Kill a Mockingbirdmayowesomeofitspopularity as a teaching text to the fact that the narrative voice is a white one.Naomi Varnis, an African Studies student at Brown says, “Its another practiceof telling stories about black people through white central characters。”While the novel is undoubtedly worth its place in the classroom，Englishteachers may do well to consider that it is a white authors perspective andought to be the only beginning of a dialogue about race and never the final word.But as a gateway to more mature ideas, and as a YA （young adult) distillation（提炼）of complex concepts young people may not have grasped before, Leesnovel is invaluable。语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了美国著名小说家哈珀李及人们对她的作品的一些看法。10According to the passage， the novelTo Kill a Mockingbirdcan help us_.Aknow more about the past US economic situationBunderstand what the real personality of humans isCreduce much anxiety for fear of losing ourselvesDfind and deal with some other complicated questions解析：选 C细节理解题.根据第二段最后两句可知,由于受到荷尔蒙和焦虑的困扰，青少年们在学校里感到困惑和沮丧。文学是一个安全阀 ,它给人们提供慰藉,能帮助人们发现自身的问题并更好地了解自己。故答案为 C。11What does the underlined word “trailed most probably mean in Paragraph1？AWas as good as。BTried hard to defeat.CWent along the same route as.DHad a lower score than。解析：选 D词义猜测题。根据画线词下文中的“Alongside the works of Shakespeareand Twain .。 reaching about 70% of American public schools.可知，连同莎士比亚和马克吐温的作品一起，这部小说在全国被广泛用于教学中，大约 70的美国公立学校在使用这部小说。显然这部小说是很重要的，再结合画线词所在句中的“only”可知 ,此处指这部小说只是“落后于圣经，也就是指得分比圣经少.trail 在此处作动词，意为“落后”.12 What can we conclude from Will Serratellis statement underlined inParagraph 5？AThe kids are motivated to think further。BThe kids have to face more moral questions。CThe kids tend to sympathize with the characters.DThe kids are unwilling to answer challenging questions。解析:选 A句意理解题。根据第五段中的“There arent many hard moral questionsbeing asked 。. but it opens up all these other questions that I hadnt thoughtabout before。”可知,这部小说中并没有提出很多高深的道德问题 ,但是针对其他问题这部小说提供了开放空间.显然这部小说培养了学生进一步思考的能力 .再结合画线句的字面意思可知,此处表示激励孩子们更深刻地思考。故答案为 A。13Why is the novel well received by teenagers in the US？ABecause it reveals racial discrimination in America。BBecause it makes some serious adult issues accessible。CBecause a white author tells the stories about black people.DBecause it is widely used as a tool for moral judgments in society.解析：选 B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Some critics have called it animpossible achievement .。 voice of a curious little girl 。可知，一些评论家认为,这部小说是令人不可思议的佳作-它是由受过良好教育的成年人执笔的一本儿童读物 ,这正是这部小说魅力无穷、吸引众多年轻人阅读的原因。这部小说以充满好奇心的小女孩那轻快、玩味般的口吻道出了饱读诗书的成年人在面对着现实种种艰辛时产生的点滴感悟；再结合第四段中的“one of the first books that
