You may also know that Moby Dick considered one of the greatest novels ever written. However, it might surprise you to find out Herman Melville was not always a highly ‎ regarded author. Melville’s first two novels, Typee and Omoo, were widely read and financially successfully. They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands. Melville became quite famous. However, upon the publication of his third book, Mardi, Melville’s popularity began to weaken. He was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure, and his writing took on a style that alienated(使疏远) the general reading public of his time. Melville published Moby Dick in October of 1851. it was an original novel, combining aspects of sociology and philosophy, which confused readers by its complex symbolism. The book sold poorly. Melville’s next book, Pierre, was almost completely disregarded by the public. Debt frustration and ill health finally forced Melville to take a low-paying job as a customs inspector. Eventually, Melville abandoned prose(散文) and began to write poetry. The Civil War is the main subject of Melville’s poetry. He and his brother made a trip to the front line, and he published a book of poems, Battle-Pieces and Aspects of War, based on this experience.    Melville died in 1891 at the age of 72. At this point, his work had been completely forgotten by the public. His talent was to go unrecognized for the next thirty years. Then, in 1920s, his reputation began to improve as critics and readers rediscovered his work. Today Moby Dick is one of the best-known novels ever penned by an American author. 24. What were Melville’s first two novels mainly about?    A. His travel experience. B. His successful communication skills. C. Adventurous experiences in the front line. D. Adventurous voyages and foreign experiences. 25.We can learn from the text that Moby Dick________. A. sold a little better than Pierre. B. was Melville’s favorite novel. C. was copied from other books. D. made Melville popular again. 26. The text may be taken from___________.‎ ‎ A. a writing guide B. a literary journal. C. a science magazine. D. a critical book on literature. 27. What is the text mainly about?    A. The main works of Melville.    B. The skills in Melville’s writing.    C. The ups and downs of Melville.    D. The reason for Melville’s failure.‎ C Do you want to live forever? By the year 2050, you might actually get your wish---if you are willing to leave  your biological body and live in silicon circuits （半导体电路）. But long before then, perhaps as early as 2010, some measures will begin offering a semblance of immortality （虚拟的永生）.‎ Researchers are confident that technology will soon be able to track every waking moment of your life. Whatever you see and hear, all that you say and write, can be recorded, analyzed and added to your personal chronicles （履历）. By the 2030, it may be possible to catch your nervous（神经） systems through electrical activities, which would also keep your thoughts and emotions. ‎ Researchers at the laboratories of British Telecommunications have given the name of this idea as Soul Catcher.‎ Small electronic equipment will make preparation for Soul Catcher. It would use a wearable supercomputer, perhaps in a wristwatch, with wireless links to micro sensors under your scalp （头皮） and in the nerves that carry all five sensory signals. So wearing a video camera would no longer be required.‎ At first, the Soul Catcher’s companion system — the Soul Reader — might have trouble copying your thoughts in complete details. Even in 2030, we may still be struggling to understand how the brain is working inside, so reading your thoughts and understanding your emotions might not be possible. But these signals could be kept for the day when they can be transferred to silicon ‎ circuits to revitalize minds everlasting entities （永生实体）. Researchers can only wonder what it will be like to wake up one day and find yourself alive inside a machine.‎ For people who choose not to live in silicon, semblance of immortality would not be as useless as they thought. People would know their lives would not be forgotten, but would be kept a record of the human race forever. And future generations would have a much fuller understanding of the past. History would not be controlled by just the rich and powerful, Hollywood stars, and a few thinkers in the upper society.‎ ‎28. The main idea of this passage is that               .‎ A. human beings long for living forever B. there are many difficulties in making the Soul Catcher C. people can live forever as technology develops D. the invention of Soul Catcher has great importance ‎29. According to this passage, a Soul Catcher will be           .‎ A. a new machine on which research measures have already been made B. a new invention in order to catch and keep human’s thoughts C. made by British scientists to offer something that looks like living forever D. made of silicon circuits which can catch people’s nervous activity ‎30. We can infer from the passage that semblance of immortality is            .‎ A. to be a reality sooner or later                               B. far from certain C. just an idea that couldn’t t be realized at all           D. a fading hope ‎31. The meaning of the underlined word “revitalize” in the fourth paragraph is close to             .‎ A. make dead              B. make famous           C. make known           D. make active D WHAT kind of life do you want? A happy one or a meaningful one?‎ ‎“Can’t I have both?” you might ask. “Aren’t the two supposed to be connected? Surely someone who leads a meaningful life will be happy, or one can find meaning in the pursuit of happiness?”‎ ‎ Sadly, however, this doesn’t appear to be the case. A new study suggests that a happy life and a meaningful life are far from the same thing, and that you might be better off picking just one.‎ ‎ The Atlantic News reported that researchers asked nearly 400 US citizens aged 18 t0 78 whether they thought their lives were meaningful and happy. These people were asked about their attitudes toward meaning, happiness and many other aspects of life including stress levels, spending patterns and family life.‎ ‎ The researchers found that a meaningful life and a happy life do have something in common, but they are essentially different- living a happy life is connected with being a “taker”, while living a meaningful life is connected with being a “giver”.‎ ‎ Happiness, the researchers found, usually relates to getting what we want, which is why the pursuit of happiness often leads to selfish behavior. Animals have needs and desires and thus can feel happy too. What makes hums different is not the pursuit of happiness, but rather the pursuit of meaning.‎ ‎ We often obtain meaning form helping others or making a sacrifice for some “greater good”. And sacrifice often comes at the expense of happiness. That’s because people who do meaningful things usually have higher levels of stress in their lives than happy people. For example, volunteering in poor, rural schools might be meaningful, but it might also be different and draining.‎ ‎ Experiencing hardship and negative events, the study found, reduces your happiness but increases your sense that you’re living a meaningful life. No one knows this better than Viktor Frank, an Austrian-Jewish writer who lived through the horrors of a Nazi concentration camp. “if there is meaning in life at all,” he once wrote, “then there must be meaning in suffering.”‎ ‎32. We can infer from the passage that ___________.‎ ‎ A. Someone leading a meaningful life is sure to be happy ‎ B. Happiness and meaning are closely connected to each other ‎ C. If a person chooses meaning as his goal, he won’t get happiness in his life ‎ D. One had better pick only one from happiness and meaning to pursue ‎33. Which of the following can make a person happy?‎ ‎ A. Donating money to the poor B. Helping others in trouble ‎ C. Receiving a letter from a friend D. Being promoted to a position dreamt of for long ‎34. The example of Viktor Frank is used to show that _________.‎ ‎ A. Hardship and negative events will increase the sense of meaning ‎ B. Living through suffering, a person can become successful finally ‎ C. If you have a right attitude to life, you can enjoy yourself even if you’re experiencing horrors.‎ ‎ D. Living through the horror, Nazi concentration camp was a meaningful experience ‎35. What is the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. Pursuit of happiness B. To be a “taker’ of “giver”‎ ‎ C. Happiness vs. meaning D. Meaning in suffering 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。‎ ‎ Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list. 36  Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter -- like following our dreams, and developing important relationships. I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear.‎ ‎●  Experience fear.‎ I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn't be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind.    37   .‎ ‎●  Create space.‎ The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it.    38   . In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the "fight or flight(逃避)" response in the body.‎ ‎●Control the breath and feel the fear.‎ Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests(展现) in the body.    39   .‎ With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we're able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one.    40   . For instance, before I get up to speak in front ‎ of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully.‎ A.  Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists.‎ B.  We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we're about to do.‎ C.  Fear, if left uncontrolled, can even destroy our life.‎ D.  So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear.      ‎ E.  When we can see a positive outcome in our mind, fear no longer holds us back.‎ F.  But fear is more than just physically unpleasant.‎ G. As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear, we can see fear objectively.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ During the war, my husband was stationed at an army camp in a desert in California. I want to live there in order to be   41   him. I hated the place. I had never   42    been so unhappy. My husband was ordered out on a long-term duty, and I was left in a tiny shack(棚屋) alone.

My father answered my   48   with just two lines—two lines that will always sing in my   49   ; two lines that completely changed my life : Two men looked out from prison bars One saw the mud, the other saw the stars I read those two lines   50   I was ashamed of myself.
