I appreciate the opportunity to spend quality time with my mom but it is painful for me to see her house littered with stuff. Clothesbought but never worn, and new items in their original packaging carelessly purchased and never used. Its evident that seeing the stuff on a daily basis reminds my mom of a time when shopping was her way of spending money.I didnt fully understand the extent to which my mom was suffering until this week, when I saw piles of clothes on her bed. “How do you manage to sleep every night with all that stuff, Mom?” I asked. To my horror, she replied, “I do it because I know I have to get rid of all this stuff eventually; I am punishing myself by sleeping with them until I dothat. ”Shocked and upset, I gently explained to her that punishing herself was only to make things worse, and that everybody deserves a place to sleep in peace, no matter what mistakes theyve made. I suggested she move all the stuff upstairs, leaving her room comfortable to sleep in.With patience and her slow but steady guidance, I helped her go through some of the piles and move them upstairs. For the rest of the week I stayed there, she was in a better mood and was excited about going through the rest of the house to finally get rid of her stuffpast mistakes and painful times. The items brought back painful memories as we inspected and moved them, but I kept reminding her that removing them would allow her to move on and heal. We finally sold so many things and took bag after bag to charity.The stuff is just a sign of the destructive patterns of self-hatred on past mistakes. Only through the act of self-forgiveness can we bring about a chain reaction of reorganizingboth of the house and heart.24. What made the author feel bitter?A. She couldnt understand her moms sorrows.B. Her mom was stuck in the painful memories.C. Her mom was always left alone at home.D. Her mom wasted money on useless things.25.

Clearance helps remove sufferingCIn a career that lasted more than half a century, Tom Wolfe wrote fiction and nonfiction best-sellers including The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and The Bonfire of the Vanities. Along the way, he created a new type of journalism and coined phrases that became part of the American vocabulary.Wolfe began working as a newspaper reporter, first for The Washington Post, then the New York Herald Tribune. He developed a literary style in nonfiction that became known as the “New Journalism.” “Ive always agreed on a theoretical level that the techniques for fiction and nonfiction are interchangeable,” he said. “The things that work in nonfiction would work in fiction, and vice versa.”“When Tom Wolfes voice broke into the world of nonfiction, it was a time when a lot of writers, and a lot of artists in general, were turning inwards,” says Lev Grossman, book critic for Time magazine. “Wolfe didnt do that. Wolfe turned outwards. He was a guy who was interested in other people.” Wolfe was interested in how they thought, how they did things and how the things they did affected the world around them.In 1979, Wolfe published The Right Stuff, an account of the military test pilots who became Americas first astronauts. Four years later, the book was adapted as a feature film. “The Right Stuff was the book for me,” says Grossman. “It reminded me, in case Id forgotten, that the world is an incredible place.”In The Right Stuff, Wolfe popularized the phrase “pushing the envelope.” In a New York magazine article, Wolfe described the 1970s as “The Me Decade.” Grossman says these phrases became part of the American idiom because they were accurate.“He was an enormously forceful observer, and he was not afraid of making strong claims about what was happening in reality,” Grossman says. “He did it well and people heard him. And they repeated what he said because he was right.” All those words started a revolution in nonfiction that is still going on.28. The “New Journalism” is a style of journalism that.A. changes its news writing techniques frequentlyB. popularizes new American idioms in a literary wayC. combines novelistic techniques with traditional reportingD. reports various news events from a theoretical perspective29. It can be learned from the passage that The Right Stuff.A. is a film directed by Lev GrossmanB. is an influential book by Tom WolfeC. accounts for popular American phrases D. deals with incredible places in the world30. According to the passage, Tom Wolfe.A. was good at reporting news from a realistic perspectiveB. preferred making claims about events to writing booksC. was fond of commenting on other peoples thoughtsD. liked analyzing social problems from the outside31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Tom Wolfe: A Professional Phrase CoinerB. Tom Wolfe: A Forceful Observer and NovelistC. Tom Wolfe: A Theoretical Creator in LiteratureD. Tom Wolfe: An Innovative Journalist and WriterDIf youre a book lover, you have a pile of books on your bedside, or a bookshelf in your library with a “to read” sign on it. Yet you cant stop yourself from adding to the pile. This can lead to feelings of guilt over your new purchases. But Im here to tell you to stop worrying.What you have is an antilibrary, and its a very good thing. The term comes from writer Umberto Eco. He is the owner of a large personal library. He separates visitors into two groups: those who react with “Wow! What a library you have! How many of these books have you read?” and the others who get the point that a private library is not something to show off but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection an antilibrary.If you think you already know everything about a subject, youre cutting yourself off from a stream of information at an artificial point. So a growing library of books you havent read means youre consistently curious about the unknown. And that attitude is a great foundation for a lifelong love of learning.So dont feel guilty over your unread books. Those books will be there for you when you do want them, and as you build your library of read and unread books, you can start using it as you would use a bigger library. Certain books may become references more than read-throughs. Or you may find that a book you bought five years ago has special relevance today. Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curiosity. Thats good for you and good for the world around you.32. What does the underlined word “antilibrary” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Feelings of guilt over new books.B. A pile of books on the bookshelf.C. The collection of unread books.D. A large personal library.33. According to the author, more unread books mean.A. your wrong lifelong learning attitudeB. you limit yourself from the unknownC. your have no interest in the new worldD. your strong desire about new information34. Whats the authors attitude towards having an antilibrary?A. Favorable.B. Doubtful.C. Ambiguous.D. Contradictory.35. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Curiosity is a sign of high IQ.B. Books are the ladder in our life.C. Unread books are surely relevant to the present.D. We should read through every book.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。Much of the work in todays world is accomplished in teams. Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals.36 Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent? 37They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed. For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the teams performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isnt evident in baseball, where additional individual talent keeps improving the teams performance.To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate (协调) their actions.38In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence (互相依赖 ) is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the teams performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told, “There is no I in TEAM.”39 Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in a game of tug-of-war, whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force. 40An A-team may require a balance - not just A players, but a few generous B players as well.A. Its not a simple matter to determine th
