Let me tell you about my relationship with the school desk.From my first day at Penny Camp Elementary School in 1982,it was terrible.This is how it went down: five seconds into class, the foot start bouncing;10 seconds in, both feet; 15 seconds,I burst out the drums ! After a few minutes,it’s all over. I’m trying to put my leg behind my neck.No,that desk and I didn’t get along.
Sitting still was hard enough,but I also struggled with reading.Reading out loud in class was a special kind of hell(地狱).By the third grade I had progressed from being one of “those kids” to being the “special kid”. I was found to have multiple language-based learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder (A.D.D) (注意力缺陷障碍症). I was turned into a “patient” who needed treatment rather than a human being with differences.I struggled with severe anxiety and depression at age 10.
I survived this time in my life because of my mom. She knew in her heart that her child wasn’t broken and didn’t need to be fixed.My mom was right. When I think back on my school experience.I realize it wasn’t the A.D.D. that disabled me. What disabled me were limitations not in myself but in the environment. I’ve come to believe that I did not have a disability, as it is common to say, but experienced disability in environments that could not accommodate and accept my differences.
In the fall of 1977,after two years at Loyola Marymount University,where my learning differences were fully accommodated, I transferred to(转学)Brown University, where I graduated with an honors degree in English literature. I still can’t spell or sit still,but I now use support and technology to relieve my weakness and build a life on my strengths. I don’t feel stupid anymore and I know that I—and others like me—can live good lives despite these challenges.
24．What does the author want to tell us in the first paragraph?
A. He didn’t like to study.
B. He used to be active at school.
C. He suffered from a broken desk.
D. He had trouble sitting still in class.
25．How did the author probably feel in class in his early school years?
A.Exited. B.Uneasy. C.Interested. D.Bored.
26．Which of the following is correct according to the last paragraph?
A. He is living a good life with his weakness.
B. His disability has been cured by technology.
C. He got his honors degree in English literature in the fall of 1997.
D. He was transferred to Brown University because of his disability.
27．From the passage we learn that__________.
A. a disability is nothing but a difference
B. family’s support is the most important
C. disabled people can’t live well however hard they work
D. sometimes limitations of the environment disable a person
C
Row after row they marched — thousands of larger-than-life figures frozen in clay, a phalanx(方阵) of officials defending the tomb of China’s first emperor.Silently they guarded beneath the soil for 2,200 years, until a farmer digging a well in 1974 found broken pieces of unparalleled significance near China’s early capital city, Xianyang.
Now those fierce warriors have reached the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts(VMFA) to tell their extraordinary story. The exhibition will be on display at VMFA from Saturday, November 18, 2017 through March 11, 2018 before traveling to the Cincinnati Art Museum.Ten of the clay figures will stand with a total of 130 objects from 14 museums and archaeological institutes in China’s Shaanxi Province, where the current city of Xi’an is located. Forty of the objects have never left China before. Beyond the life-size clay figures, the exhibit brings perspective with objects that range from bronze spearheads found in the emperor’s tomb to a small gold tiger that pre-dated him by more than 250 years.
The fascination draws lots of visitors wherever the terracotta figures have traveled. The National Geographic Museum in Washington had a record-setting 280,000 people at its four-month exhibit of 15 figures in 2009—2010. Chicago’s Field Museum attracted 460,000 to its 10-month exhibit that ended in January.
At the same time with the VMFA exhibit, Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute will have a terracotta warriors exhibit that focuses on the science and technology that went into their creation. VMFA focuses on why they were created and how they fit into China’s long sweep of history. Each institution has 10 life-size terracotta figures on display, giving an unprecedented(空前的) opportunity to study them in depth.
The VMFA exhibition is divided into three sections. The first one introduces the emperor; the second puts him in context with artifacts from the warring states; the third shows his journey into the afterlife.
28. According to Paragraph 2, some of the items on display .
A. have not gone abroad B. have just been discovered
C. are from museums all over China D. were earlier than China’s first emperor
29. How many American cities will hold the exhibition of terracotta warriors?
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
30. How do Americans think of terracotta warriors?
A. Attractive. B. Aggressive. C. Professional. D. Conservative.
31. What is the best title for the text?

C.Terracotta Warriors Exhibits in the US D. New Discoveries in Terracotta Warriors

Genealogy, also known as family history, is the study of families and the footmarks of their lineages(家系) and history. Genealogists use oral interviews, historical records, genetic analysis, and other records to obtain information about a family and to prove kinship(亲属关系) and lineages of its members. The results are often displayed in charts or written as descriptions.
The pursuit of family history and origins tends to be shaped by several impetuses, including the desire to carve out a place for one’s family in the larger historical picture, a sense of responsibility to preserve the past for future generations, and a sense of self-satisfaction in accurate storytelling.
In communitarian societies, one’s identity is established as much by one’s kin network as by individual achievement, and the question ＂Who are you?＂ would be answered by a description of father, mother, and lineages. New Zealand Māori, for example, learn genealogies to discover who they are.
In societies such as Australia or the United States, there was by the 20th-century growing pride in the pioneers and nation-builders. Establishing descent(继承) from these was, and is, important to such groups as the Daughters of the American Revolution(DAR).
Modern family history explores new sources of status, such as celebrating the rebirth of families that survived generations of poverty or slavery, or the success of families in combining across racial or national boundaries. Some family histories even emphasize links to celebrity criminals, such as the bushranger(绿林好汉) Ned Kelly in Australia.
The growing interest in family history in the media coupled with easier access to online records has allowed those who are curious to do so to start investigating their ancestry. This curiosity can be particularly strong among those whose family histories were lost or unknown due to, for example, adoption or separation from family, perhaps as a result of bereavement(丧失).
32. Which of the following is connected with genealogy?
A. The DNA tests. B. Historicalnovels.
C. Political positions. D. Education standards.
33. What is the meaning of the underlined word ＂impetuses＂ in Paragraph 2?
A. Results. B. Drives. C. Categories. D. Exploitations.
34. Why do Māori study genealogies?
A. To get achievements. B. To learn their origins.
C. To change their identities. D. To create their kin network.
35. What do we know about genealogy from Paragraph 4?
A. DAR is a genealogy organization. B. Organizations have their genealogy.
C. Australia is a pioneer in genealogy. D. Genealogy inspires the love for nation.

Good afternoon, everyone. May I have your attention, please?
This is the chairman of the Students’ Union speaking. With the Dragon Boat Festival approaching, the Students’ Union plans to throw an evening party intended for foreign students studying in our school. A variety of activities will be held, offering chances for you to have a better insight into traditional Chinese culture.
We will give a brief introduction to the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. You are sure to be fascinated by the history and background story of this Chinese tradition. To make the party more interesting and get everyone involved, we’ve prepared special gifts for winners of our chopsticks competition. Prizes will go to those with the best chopstick abilities. Food will also be on offer, but only through the effort of participants – we’ll show you how to make zongzi, a kind of rice ball wrapped in bamboo leaves, which is the traditional food of the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Students’ Union is sure that this party will serve as a precious memory of your overseas studies in China. It will take place next Saturday evening from 7:00 – 9:00, in room 201 in the main school building.
We hope to see you there.
