What they want to see is the old stone well beside it—and the iron-bound water bucket that’s put on its edge.‎ Two hundred years ago, this farmhouse was the home of Samuel Woodworth. During the long summers of his childhood, young Samuel would often pause at the well. It ‎ was a welcome break, especially on a hot afternoon. On such a day he would eagerly draw a bucketful of coldwater and satisfy his thirst with a refreshing drink.‎ When he was fourteen, Woodworth left Scituate and set out for Boston to work as a printer’s beginner. Then he travelled to New York city, where he started his own newspaper. Later he worked as an editor at other newspapers and magazines while writing novels, plays, and poetry in his spare time. His life was busy, and he rarely had time to visit the family farm.‎ But Woodworth never stopped thinking of his Scituate home. Working in hectic New York made him homesick for the peace and loneliness of life in the country.‎ After work one evening, Woodworth poured himself a glass of city water. It wasn’t very refreshing. Casually he remarked to his wife, Lydia, how wonderful it would be to have a long, cool drink from the oaken bucket at his father’s well. Lydia had a suggestion: Why not put it to poetry?‎ It was a suggestion Woodworth could not resist. That night he wrote “The Bucket.” In it he captured the world of his childhood on a hot summer day and the simple joy of stopping for a drink at his father’s well.‎ His poem was an immediate success. It seemed to touch everyone who had ever been homesick. At the height of its popularity, “The Old Oaken Bucket” (as it came to be called) was translated into four languages, and the words were set to a popular tune of the time. Over the years, countless people have read or sung Woodworth’s ode to his boyhood. Today it is the official song of Scituate, Massachusetts.‎ In his time, Samuel Woodworth was a successful writer. Now his poems and plays are all but forgotten. He would be, too—if it hadn’t been for a glass of warm water, some good advice from his wife, and his love of those long-ago days on the farm.‎ ‎21. What experience most likely helped Woodworth write “The Bucket”?‎ A. Living in Scituate. B. Growing up on a farm.‎ C. Working in New York. D. Working for a newspaper.‎ ‎22. What was Woodworths purpose for writing the poem?‎ A. To share am opinion. B. To complain about the water in the city.‎ C. To express an emotion. D. To explain the newspaper business.‎ ‎23. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Old Oaken Bucket. B. Living In New York.‎ C. Growing Up On The Farm. D. Good Suggestions From Wife.‎ ‎24.

She asked me a question that I have been asked once too often by many of my friends, a question that I have asked myself only too often since I was 24 years old-what am I was doing with my life?‎ She said she had been wondering, thinking about what would satisfy and complete her. I told her that it’s a process that everyone needs to go through at some stage, and the process is different for everyone. I suggested that she start with the process of elimination (淘汰) - work out what it is that she does not want to be doing, and then try a few things that she might like to do.‎ ‎“But trying takes time,” she replied. “ Are we going to go groping (求索) around? Until when?”‎ ‎“Until you find its,” was my reply. I told her that it’s not always a straight path. And sometimes it could be something that she already knew, but have yet to fully accept. Her legend was something she had to discover on her own, in her own time.‎ So, if you ask me what you should do with your life, all I can tell you is that you already have the answer inside you. You just need to peel off the layers that are covering it. These layers might be past programming, conditioning, other people’s beliefs and expectations, your own beliefs and expectations.‎ Start by being more aware of what is important to you and what makes you get out of bed every morning. Focus instead on what you want to leave behind, rather than what you should be doing. And by all means, don’t believe anything that I have said here because only you get to decide how to find your personal legend and what it should be.‎ ‎29. What was the author doing when his friend asked to chat with him?‎ A. He was having a conversation with his friends.‎ B. He was entertaining himself on the Internet.‎ C. He was engaged in dealing with emails.‎ D. He was checking emails leisurely.‎ ‎30. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?‎ A. The author suggested that his friend focus on what she liked to do.‎ B. People know their legend but do not accept it.‎ C. There are different processes for people to discover their own legend.‎ D. Many people were troubled by the same question.‎ ‎31. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. What one likes to do at present matters most.‎ B. One should be concentrated on his dream instead of his interest.‎ C. The purpose of one’s life is more important than one’s plan.‎ D. What one wants to leave behind is the most important in one’s life.‎ D If you are a fan of the popular BBC TV series Sherlock, by this time you must have already watched the series’ New Year special The Abominable Bride at least once — if not twice or more.‎ The latest episode is a huge crowd-pleaser. From its set design to its script, the show is filled with tiny details and clues that bring forth knowing smiles from its fans.‎ Since its first episode aired in July 2010, Sherlock has produced such a large fandom that it has become a global cultural phenomenon. Calling themselves Sherlockians, the fans have set up websites for the show, sharing pictures, writing fan fiction and filling discussion forums. And according to a recent article published by the BBC, the original Sherlock Holmes novels, written by Conan Doyle, were responsible for the modem phenomenon of fandom. Doyle’s stories were published in installments in the pages of The Strand magazine, and at that time, eager readers would line up at newsstands whenever a new story would appear. It all started with Doyle’s first Holmes mystery, A Study in Scarlet, in 1887.‎ But Doyle’s true aim was to write “serious” historical novels like Ivanhoe author Sir Walter Scott. By the end of 1893, Doyle had had enough of Sherlock Holmes. In the short story The Final Problem, he had his enemy, Professor Moriarty, push Holmes down the Reichenbach Falls, killing the detective. The readers then wrote to the ‎ magazine to protest. Giving in to public pressure, Doyle brought Holmes back to life in The Adventure of the Empty House. The explanation was that it was Moriarty who had died in the fall, while Holmes had hidden the fact.‎ Before Sherlock Holmes became popular, readers simply “accepted what went on in their favourite books, then moved on” But with Doyle’s works, they were beginning to take their popular culture personally, and to expect their favourite works to go with certain expectations. And thus modem fandom was born.‎ ‎32. What will you do if you are a fan of Sherlock?‎ A. Accept what went on in your favourite book.‎ B. Fill discussion forums on the websites.‎ C. Write an article to the BBC about Conan Doyle.‎ D. Write to the magazine to protest.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?‎ A. The book which was called A Study in Scarlet.‎ B. The modem phenomenon of fandom that was produced about Holmes.‎ C. The Strand magazine in which Doyle’s stories were published.‎ D. The phenomenon that readers lined up to buy Doyle’s stories.‎ ‎34. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?‎ A. The fans were angry with the ending of The Final Problem.‎ B. Doyle wanted to write historical novels instead of Sherlock Holmes.‎ C. Doyle felt too pressed to continue the stories.‎ D. Professor Moriarty and Holmes were enemies.‎ ‎35. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. It talks about the BBC TV series Sherlock.‎ B. It deals with how modem fandom was born.‎ C. It talks about the fandom of Sherlock.‎ D. It gives us information about Conan Doyle.‎ 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。‎ Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. _36_ The Spring Festival is coming up, so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey.‎ Before getting into the recommendations, you need to determine your English reading comprehension level. If you are at the beginning level, there are two options: reading children’s book or reading a book that you’ve read in Chinese translation. _37_ If you’re at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options. For advanced readers, classic works of literature or modem prize winners (Nobel, Pulitzer) are good options.‎ ‎_38_ When I pick up a book I like, even though the first few chapters are really hard to get through, I would try to get accustomed to the language the author uses.

You can make goals that you both want to achieve. _39_ Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series thing by US writer Michael Crichton; and if you like horror, US writer Stephen King is always unusual and, _40_ Happy reading!‎ A.
