And yet she had loved him—sometimes. What did it matter! What could love count for in the face of her new freedom.

―Free! Body and soul free!‖ she kept whispering.

Josephine was kneeling before the closed door with her lips to the keyhole. ―Louise, open the door! I beg; open the door—you will make yourself ill.‖

―Go away. I am not making myself ill.‖

Her fancy(幻想) was running wild along those days ahead of her, all sorts of days that would be her own. She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shake that life might be long.

She stood up after a long time and opened the door to her sister‘s begging. She carried herself unknowingly like a goddess of Victory. She held her sister‘s waist, and together they walked down the stairs.

Someone was opening the front door with a key. It was Brently Mallard who entered, a little travel-stained(风尘仆仆的), calmly carrying his suitcase and umbrella. He had been far from the scene of the accident, and did not even know there had been one. He stood amazed at Josephine‘s sharp cry; at Richards‘ quick motion to stop him from the view of his wife.

第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共35分）

第一节 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最恰当的单词。 (注意：每空格1个单词)

In the past 100 years Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing U.S. Minority. As their

children began moving up through the nation‘s schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was forming. Their achievements are reflected in the nation‘s best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on an Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began

their education abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively(客观地). And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.

Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined

that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that promotes success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.

Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they form a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants（移民）were the victims of social separation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.
