than 40 years ago,my seventh grade English teacher began the year by telling us thatwe were absolutely not allowed to read The Catcher in the Rye because we werent“ready for it.So naturally we all went out and read it immediately.I told this story to my son when he was a seventh grader.I meant it as a funny story,and Ipointed out that it had taken me years to appreciate that teachers pedagogic strategy.But then myson read the book himself right away.The mere long-ago echo(回音)of a possible ban wasenough to breathe life to his reading.Adults have been known to worry a great deal about the possible destructive influence of thepublishing world on children.If you look at the list of“frequently challenged childrens booksmaintained by the American Library Association Office of Intellectual Freedom,you will see awide range of touchy topics.Books can get challenged because they involve magic(Philip Pullman,J.K.Rowling),orbecause they offend(冒犯)religious sensibilities.“AWrinkle in Time”,by Madeleine LEngle,hasbeen challenged as both overly and insufficiently religious.Some books are challenged becausethey describe children behaving,well,childishly.(Junie B.Jones,the heroine of a series of booksby Barbara Park,gets in trouble for using words like“stupid”.)So adults worry that books may bebad for childrens morals and for their manners.In fact,banned book lists can be a great resource for parents looking for books that teach kidsabout the world and themselves.When your children read books that have been challenged or banned,you have a doubleopportunity as a parent:you can discuss the books themselves,and the information they provide,and you can also talk about why people might find them troubling.24.What was the authors teachers pedagogic strategy?A.Arousing the students

ChoiceCWhen it comes to unlikely friendships,wildlife never stops to amaze.And a giant 450-poundgorilla(大猩猩)sharing a heart-warming moment with a 0.5-pound wild bushbaby(灌丛婴猴)isdefinitely an unusual sight to be seen.Over 300 rescued animals live at Ape Action Africa,Cameroon a sanctuary(鸟兽保护区)for endangered animals like gorillas,chimpanzees and monkeys.Bobo,a western lowland gorilla,is among the first residents at the sanctuary.The huge male arrived at the sanctuary when he wasonly two,after losing his mom due to poaching(偷猎).And back then,Bobo was far from thestrong male hes now.Even though hes such a fearless animal,Bobo is nothing but a gentle giant.And recently,hisgentleness even blew away the caretakers at the sanctuary.While on their morning checks,thecaretakers could not believe their eyes when they saw Bobo sharing a lovely moment with hisnewest and most unusual friend a wild bushbaby.Its quite amazing to watch the tiny animal interacting in such a friendly manner with its giantneighbor.“The bushbaby showed no fear of Bobo,”said Elissa OSullivan,spokesperson for ApeAction Africa.“He moved around Bobos body and spent his time jumping around in an opengrassy area,before choosing to return to Bobo.”Wild bushbabies are normally nocturnal animals,so watching a bushbaby hanging with agroup of gorillas in full daylight was even more amazing for the caretakers.“It is very uncommonto see a bushbaby during the day,”a staff member said.“We have never seen a wild animalinteracting with a rescued one at the sanctuary.”The other gorillas three females and three young males,soon became very interested inBobos new friend.However,Bobo suddenly became overprotective towards his tiny companionand he kept his group away from it.“Bobos group-mates were extremely curious,but he keptthem all at a distance,making sure that no one disturbed(打扰)his new friend,”another staffmember said.“The little bushbaby was happy to play in Bobos arms.”28.What do we know about

during the daytime.31.What was Bobos attitude towards those gorillas showing interest in the bushbaby?A.Unselfish.B.Unfriendly.C.Uncaring.D.Unclear.DA new study of older adults finds excessive daytime napping(小睡)may signal an increasingrisk of Alzheimers disease(阿尔兹海默症).Investigators from Brigham and Womens Hospitalreport a relationship between daytime napping and cognitive(认知的)aging:excessive daytimenapping predicts an increased future risk of Alzheimers,and a diagnosis of Alzheimers speeds upthe increase in daytime napping during aging.“Daytime sleep behaviors of older adults are often ignored,and a consensus for daytimenapping in clinical practice and health care is still lacking,”said Peng Li of the MedicalBiodynamics Program in Brighams Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders.“Our team callsfor a closer attention to 24-hour sleep patternsnot only nighttime sleep but also daytimesleepfor tracking the health of older adults.”Researchers at the Brigham recognized that all previous studies on Alzheimers diseaseassessed napping within a participant only once,and most of which were subjective andquestionnaire-based.In the new study,more than 1000 individuals,with an average age of 81,were provided Actical,a watch-like device,to wear on their wrist for up to 14 days.After nappingepisodes were identified,the nap duration and frequency were calculated.The results suggest that excessive daytime napping may signal an increasing risk ofAlzheimers,and that faster yearly increase in daytime napping may be a sign of worsening orunfavored clinical progression of the disease.Researchers acknowledge that although the method of the new study has been widely used insleep field studies,they recognize that polysomnography(多导睡眠记录仪)is the gold standardfor sleep scoring.Moreover,the participants studied were older,and therefore,the findings maynot be easily translated to younger people.In addition,future studies should test whether a directintervention in daytime napping can lower the risk ofAlzheimers or cognitive decline.“We hope to draw more attention to daytime sleep patterns and the importance of patientsnoting if their sleep schedule changes over time,”said co-senior author Kun Hu of the MedicalBiodynamics Program.“Sleep changes are critical in shaping the internal changes in the brain.”32.What is the new study about?A.The link betweenAlzheimers and daytime sleep.B.Causes of sleep disorders in older adults.C.The symptoms of age-related cognitive decline.D.Ways to preventAlzheimers disease.33.What does Peng Lis team advocate?A.Encouraging elders to get enough rest at night.B.Monitoring elders sleep patterns throughout the day.C.Investigating the health of elders with poor sleep.D.Providing good health care for elders with Alzheimers.34.How did researchers conduct the new study?A.By interviewing a large number of older people.B.By carrying out a survey with questionnaires.C.By tracking sleep with a wearable device.D.By referring to previous studies on Alzheimers.35.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A.Advice on adjusting sleep patterns.B.Supporting evidence for the research results.C.The potential value of the study findings.D.Limitations of the present research.第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题：每小题小题：每小题 2.5 分。满分分。满分 12.5 分）分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。多余选项。How to tell
