Czech(捷克)family,he studied l music with his father,who was a piano teacher and a student of the composer Janacek,and ensured Kundera received music a training at an advanced level.Kundera studied in Prague,becoming a lecturer in world literature.He joined the ruling Communist Party and initially he was an enthusiastic member.But his writing soon got him into political trouble.His first novel The Jokea black comedy published in 1967led to aba non his writing in Czechoslovakia.In 1970 he was asked to leave the party after expressing support for the Prague Spring movement,the period of political movement crushed by the 1968 Soviet attack.Kunderas political action led to his dismissal from his teaching post and his novels were removed from public libraries,and the sale of his work was banned until the fall of the Communist government in 1989.For a short time he performed as jazz trumpeter,before emigrating to France in 1975 with his wife Vera,settling first in Rennes then Paris.He became a French citizen in 1981,two years after he was stripped of his Czech nationality,and eventually wrote in French.He soon secured a reputation as a ground-breaking author with The Unbearable Lightness of Being.The book was adapted for the screen in 1987.“It seems to me that all over the world people nowadays prefer to judge rather than to understand,to answer rather than to ask,”he shared his impression of the adaptation with his friend and writer Philip Roth in The New York Times after watching it.“So that the voice of the novel can hardly be heard over the noisy foolishness of human certainties.”In 1985 he received the Jerusalem Prizea prize given to writers whose works have dealt with themes of human freedom in society.And while he was a frequent competitor for the Nobel Prize for literature,the award remained distant.24.According to paragraph 2,what can be learned about Kundera?A.He started the Prague Spring movement.B.The sale of his book was banned in 1989.学科网（北京）股份有限公司学科网（北京）股份有限公司C.He expressed disagreement with the ruling party.D.He continued his studies in music when in Prague.25.What does the underlined word“stripped”in paragraph 3mean?A.Robbed.B.Informed.C.Convinced.D.Accused.26.What did Kundera think of the adapted film?A.Encouraging.B.Dissatisfied.C.Impressive.D.Doubtful.27.Which of the following can be the best title?A.Milan Kunderas WorksB.A Big Name in LiteratureC.The Jerusalem Prize Winner D.Milan Kundera Dies Aged 94CTwo and a half millennia ago,Socrates complained that writing would harm students.Socrates did not have peer-reviewed science to make his case about the usefulness of learning concepts by heart.Today a different debate is raging about the dangers of another technology-computers and the typing people do on them.As primary-school pupils and PhD hopefuls return for a new school year,many will do so with a greater-than-ever reliance on computers to take notes and write papers.Some parents of younger students are dismayed that their children are not just encouraged but required to take laptops to class.A line of research shows the benefits of an“innovation”ahead of computers:handwriting.Studies have found that writing on paper can improve everything from recalling a random series of words to imparting a better conceptual grasp of complicated ideas.Handwritingwhich takes longer for nearly all university-level studentsforces note-takers to synthesize ideas into their own words.This aids conceptual understanding at the moment of writing.But those taking notes by hand also perform better on tests when students are later able to study from their notes.The effect even persisted when the students who typed were explicitly instructed to rephrase the material in their own words.The instruction was“completely ineffective”at reducing verbatim(逐字逐句地)note-taking,the researchers note:they did not understand the material so much as parrot it.Many studies have confirmed handwritings benefits,and policymakers have taken note.However,several school systems in America have gone so far as to ban most laptops.This is too extreme.Some students have disabilities that make handwriting especially hard.Nearly all will eventually need typing skills.And typing can improve the quality of writing:being able to get ideas down quickly,before they are forgotten,can obviously be beneficial.Virginia Berninger,professor of psychology at the University of Washington,is a longtime advocate of handwriting.But she is not a purist.Since students spend more time on devices as they age,she argues for occasional“tuning up”of handwriting in later school years.28.What does the underlined word“dismayed”in paragraph 2 mean?A.Inspired.B.Disappointed.C.Amazed.D.Confused.29.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A.Students taking notes by hand understand the material better.B.Students studying from their notes perform better on tests later.C.Students who take notes in their own words prefer handwriting 学科网（北京）股份有限公司学科网（北京）股份有限公司D.Students who typed can imitate the material in an effective way.30.Which of the following does Virginia Berninger agree with?A.Students should spend more time on devices.B.Students should take notes by hand at school.C.Learning typing skills at school is unnecessary.D.Senior students can take notes in different ways.31.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Handwriting is more beneficial than typing.B.Schools should put emphasis on handwriting.C.The importance of handwriting is better understood.D.Handwriting and typing are equally important at school.DArmy ants make a habit of killing organisms,often much larger than themselves,breaking them into pieces and dragging them back to their bases.They dont eat everything.Waste full with discarded bits of prey is a feature of army ant bases.But little is known about which animals make use of army ant leavings.As recounted in a paper in Ecology&.Evolution,Christoph von Beer en at the Technical University of Darmstadt and Daniel Kronauer at the Rockefeller University in New York,went to the rainforests of Costa Rica to find out.They found an entire ecosystem thriving among the leftovers.Monitoring tiny insects in a rainforest is tricky.But the researchers hoped modern DNA analysis techniques might make the job manageable.Working with a team of colleagues,they followed ant trails back to their bases,finding 34 sites in total.The researchers used a handheld vacuum cleaner to suck up all the bugs at waste and brought the samples back to a field laboratory.To keep the task manageable,the team confined themselves to examining only the beetles they had collected.They identified the beetles they could and ran DNA analyses on those they could not.In total,they collected 8.364 adult beetles,511 beetle larvae and 24 beetle eggs.Those were spread across 91 species,several of which were entirely new to science.Aside from that being far more than anyone had expected,the presence of the larvae and eggs indicates that the leftovers are not so much convenient restaurants as full-on homes,where the beetles live out their entire lives.Precisely how these species manage to avoid being eaten themselves by their army-ant hosts remains to be determined.Dr.von Beer en speculates that a hygiene instinct that keeps the ants from eating material that has been taken to their waste is partially responsible.And many species of beetles are able to produce compounds that smell disgusting to ants.The chances are high that among these insects are some predators too,seeking to feed on unsuspecting scavengers(食腐动物)in turn.32.What do army ants do with organisms?A.They consume some of organisms.B.They drag organisms to waste piles.C.They kill organisms and eat them all.D.They break organisms into discarded bits.学科网（北京）股份有限公司学科网（北京）股份有限公司33.How did the researchers make the job manageable?A.By examining the beetles they had sucked up.B.By classifying the insects into different varieties.C.By using DNA analysis techniques on all beetles.D.By running DNA analyses on the unknown insects.34.What did the researchers find after analysis?A.The leftovers are like restaurants to the beetles.B.The leftovers are just like homes to the beetles.C.The army ants kill some of the larvae and eggs.D.The larvae and eggs are eaten by the army ants.35.What could be the title of the passage?A.In the Leavings the Insects Are the KingB.One Insects Leavings Is Anothers MealC.Where Therere Leavings,Therere InsectsD.When the Ants Away,the Insects Will Play第二节第二节(共共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5 分分)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。Do you find it difficult to
