Literature is an important part of a total language arts program at all grade levels because of the many benefits it offers.

Literature provides pleasure to listeners and readers. It is a relaxing escape from daily problems, and it fills leisure moments. Making time for recreational reading and using high-quality literature help to develop enthusiastic readers and improve achievement. Developing a love of literature as a recreational activity is possibly the most important outcome of a literature program.

Literature builds experience. Through reading, children expand their horizons through vicarious (引起共鸣的) experiences. They visit new places, gain new experiences, and meet new people. They learn about the past as well as the present and learn about a variety of cultures, including their own. They discover the common goals and similar emotions found in people of all times and places. Nory Ryan’s Song by Patricia Reilly, Giff, a hard survival story, is set in Ireland during the potato hunger of 1845, and Patricia Polacco’s The Butterfly, deals with Nazis, resistance, and Jewish persecution (迫害) during World War II.

Literature provides a language model for those who hear and read it. Good literature exposes children to correct sentence patterns, standard story structures, and varied word usage. Children for whom English is a second language can improve their English with the interesting context, and all children benefit from new vocabulary that is woven into the stories.

Literature develops thinking skills. Discussions of literature bring out reasoning related to sequence; cause and effect; character motivation; predictions; visualization of actions, characters, and settings; critical analysis of the story; and creative responses.

B. she could not live long D. her efforts were in vain

Literature helps children deal with their problems. By finding out about the problems of others through books, children receive insights into dealing with their own problems, a process called bibliotherapy. Children might identify with Gilly, living angrily in a foster home in Katherine Paterson’s The Great Gilly Hopkins, or with Mary Alice, a city girl forced to live with her grandma in a “hick town” in Richard Peck’s A Year Down Yonder.

28. What is likely to be the most significant consequence of a literature program? A. The habit of reading for pleasure.

B. The lessons learned from works.

D. The ways of thinking developed by reading.

C. The achievements of language skills.

29. Why are Nory Ryan’s Song and The Butterfly mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To introduce two great masterpieces.. B. To expand children's horizons in literature. C. To prove literature includes a variety of cultures. D. To give examples of books that provide such experiences. 30. From the last paragraph we know that literature can be_______. A. educational B. practical 31. What could be the best title of the text? A. Power of Books

D

Since the sex of a sea turtle is determined by the heat of sand hatching the eggs, scientists had suspected they might see slightly more females. Climate change, after all, has driven sea temperatures higher, which, in these creatures, favors female children. They found female sea turtles from Raine Island, the Pacific Ocean’s largest and most important green sea turtle living area, now outnumber males by at least 116 to 1. “This is extreme,” says turtle scientist Camryn Allen.

Biologist Michael Jensen wanted to know if climate change had already changed turtles’ sexes. By using genetic tests, he’d figured out that he could follow turtles of all ages. Still, his research data would lack an important detail: sex. Only after a turtle matures is it possible to tell its sex from the outside— mature males have slightly longer tails. By then turtles can be decades old, so scientists often use laparoscopy (腹腔镜检查), sending a thin tube into each animal, but that’s not so practical if you’re hoping to examine hundreds of creatures. Fortunately, at a turtle conference, he met Allen, and all she needed was a little blood.

C. changeable D. reliable

B. Ways of Reading D. Benefits of Literature

C. Source of Human Progress

They compared their results with temperature data for nesting beaches. What worries them is that Raine Island has been producing almost female turtles for at least 20 years. This is no small thing. More than 200,000 turtles come to nest there. During high season, 18,000 turtles may settle in at once. “But what happens in 20 years when there are no more males coming up as adults? Are there enough to maintain the population?” says Allen. They also found cooler beaches in the south are still producing males, but that in the north, it’s almost entirely females hatching. These findings clearly point to the fact that climate change is changing many aspects of wildlife biology.

But how widespread is this phenomenon — and what is the consequence? 32. How might the scientists feel if there were slightly more female turtles? A. It’s normal.

B. It’s unique.

C. It’s extreme.

D. It’s doubtful.

33. What is a scientist’s conventional way to identify a turtle’s sex? A. Testing its blood.

B. Doing genetic tests. D. Watching its tail.

C. Using laparoscopy.

34. Why do the findings worry Jensen and Allen? A. Too many females gather near Raine Island. C. Turtle populations are in decline. 35. What does the last paragraph imply? A. People should stop the phenomenon. B. People have to test the consequence.

C. Climate change has changed sea turtles’ sexes. D. More work needs doing about the phenomenon. 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。 In all our lives we must make choices. You make choices from the time you get out of bed in the morning until you go to sleep at night. What time to get up? What to wear? What to eat? You also make more significant choices when you graduate from high school. 36 College? Technical training?

No matter the size of the decision, the common thread in all of them is that they involve an opportunity cost. Opportunity cost is your next best alternative — your second choice. For example, it’s a Saturday night, and you are trying to decide between going to the movies, hanging out at a friend’s house or going to the football game. 37 What is your second choice? If it is the football game, then that is your opportunity cost.

B. Sea turtles may end up dying out. D. Female turtles cause temperatures to rise.

Opportunity cost is important. When you make a certain choice, it forces you to think more critically about all of the abandoned choices. By recognizing opportunity cost, you can decide whether your decision is worth it.

38 As a high school senior, you face several options, including going to college, going to technical school, or going to the work force. If you choose college, the opportunity cost is losing what could have been purchased or saved with the money spent on tuition (学费), housing, books, etc, for four years. 39 You would also lose four years’ worth of income and experience that you could have earned if you had gone straight to work.

However, it is still the case that college graduates earn more than high school graduates do. And the unemployment rate among college graduates is less than that of high school graduates. 40 But, like all decisions, it is one that should be arrived at only after looking at the costs-including the opportunity cost-and considering the follow-up question: is it worth it? A. Will you go straight to work? B. What causes opportunity cost? C. But that’s not the end of the costs. D. Suppose you decide to go to the movies. E. If you give up college, what do you lose? F. A perfect example is the decision to go to college. G. For many students, going on to college is a wise decision.
