guns‖.

The power of the book, perhaps, comes from Herr’s insistence on describing the war, or more precisely his own responses to it, rather than protesting (抗议) against it. It also comes from the ceaseless accompaniment of two elements, drugs and music — more particularly rock music, and especially the music of Jimi Hendrix. Herr himself spent drug-fuelled weekends in a flat in Saigon, staring at an ancient French map of Indochina, and he never caught a helicopter without a Hendrix record.

He met soldiers with a left pocket full of Dexedrine, the ―upper‖ officially administered by the army to get them into battle, and a right pocket full of ―downers‖ to get them through it. Dispatches did not come out until 1977, when the country was beginning to have its mind on other problems, but it did more, perhaps, than any other book to freeze an image of despair and a sense of waste about the war, rather as the trench poets of 1914 —1918 did in Britain.

Herr also made vital contributions to two of the most influential Vietnam films. He wrote Martin Sheen’s voiceover for Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now and later wrote the screenplay for Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket. His work, in the book and the two films, has been seen as part of the process whereby the US came to see itself and its history no longer merely through traditional literature, but in sounds and images, in ways that prefigured (预示) the internet.

In 1980 Herr moved to London, where he stayed until he moved back to the US in 1991. It was there that he met Stanley Kubrick, who became a close friend, though Herr warned against doing business with him. Herr wrote Kubrick’s biography, but he wrote surprisingly little else after Dispatches.

65. Why did Michael Herr go to Vietnam during the war years? A. To join the soldiers in military actions. B. To report military actions and advances. C. To give an authentic account of the war. D. To write about military fashion and humour.

Neutrality is a means to keep you safe during the war. D. Neutrality can help the civilians free from sufferings. 67. Which of the following about Dispatches is true? A. It fully describes Herr’s protest against the war. B. Its language is casually selected and organized. C. Music and drugs give the author inspiration. D. It truly reflects Herr’s responses to the war.

第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。

What have we become? A society in which someone can have hundreds of online friends and yet go for days without human contact. We scan; we click; we text people in the next room instead of speaking to them; we even check our library books out by ourselves when once we might have chatted to a friendly person with an ink pad and a date stamp.

Loneliness can be dangerous. Recent research suggests that it may shorten people’s lives and make them more vulnerable to serious illness. It can distort (扭曲) senses of reality and even become an element that drives a few desperate young men to open fire on a cinema audience or a classroom full of children. Electronic voices on various devices can be the only ones some people hear. And what those voices say is not always true.

No man is an island, we are frequently reminded. There are those who choose to lead solitary (孤独的) lives, and live them well, but on the whole we are sociable beings and we suffer if we are on our own too much. Human contact makes us happier, although virtual relationships can be very positive.

So what could lonely people do to make real friends? An answer, among many, is to read more books. Reading begins alone but becomes a shared activity when a reader, for example, joins a book group, attends a literary festival or signs up for a continuing education course on an aspect of literature that interests them. There’s no shame in turning up to any of these alone, and fellowship is guaranteed. Fellow readers may well turn out be like-minded; it’s a basis for new friendships and sustained relationships. Sharing an understanding of a book is a good way of sharing feelings safely. Literary characters can be useful as personas.

But there is another important reason why everyone should read more books, and in particular fiction. The responsibility to fight loneliness lies with those who do not suffer from it. Lonely people often feel that there is no one who understands them or can share their point of view. They need to know that actually there are. That requires everybody else to make the imaginative leap of feeling that connection, and reading fiction helps. It makes people more empathic (移情) — sympathy for fictitious (虚构的) characters can translate into compassion (同情) in real life.

The stories of strangers reach us through many means: news bulletins, interviews, biography and memoir (回忆录), but also drama and fiction. Walking a mile in their shoes might help turn some of those strangers into real friends.

第五部分 书面表达 (满分25分)

81. 请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

It’s a question every social-media user faces after taking a great photo: Should I post this? Or is it going to come back to worry me? The questions get doubly complex when they involve children. A parent on average will post almost 1,000 photos of a child online before the child turns five, according to a recent survey. Are parents putting kids at risk by oversharing on social media?

Here are the selections of the views. Lauren Apfel (US)

The big reason to share is to build a community. I live, for example, thousands of miles from my family. In this atmosphere of modern parenthood, we all struggle to make it through the day, and the internet has become a source of support. In the early years of mothering twins, one of the things that brought me the most happiness was posting pictures of them on Facebook. Sharing those photos and engaging with an online community was a lifeline. Dracarys (China)

I don’t post pictures of my kids online because I don’t like when friends of mine post photos of me online. It feels way too public and exhibitionist to me. So I treat my kids the way I want to be treated. That is probably what the parents who are comfortable with online photos think, too, when

they decide to put the photos out there. 【写作内容】

1. 用约30个单词写出上文概要；

2. 用约120个单词阐述你对家长在社交网络上分享孩子照片的看法，并用2-3个理由或论据支撑你的理由。 【写作要求】

1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句； 2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称； 3. 不必写标题。 【评分标准】

内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。

One possible version 1:

While it is common for a parent to post children’s photos nowadays, people take different attitudes toward it. Some think it’s beneficial while others are anxious about it.

In my opinion, posting children’s photos online is beneficial for people and makes a child better known. As a result, he is likely to have more chances to be successful in the future. It will also be easier for parents to communicate with other friends, for they have more to share with each other. Besides, it’s a way to strengthen an online social circle and connect with people we don’t know before.

Although there may be some disadvantages that come with posting children’s photos, it’s not necessary to be too cautious about it. We should have confidence in our society because we won’t throw away the apple because of the core.
