His father was a construction worker and moved his family all around the southern states of America, stopping wherever he could

17、 find work. Eventually they settled in Mississippi. Graduating from law school in 1981, Grisham practiced law for nearly a decade in Southaven, specializing in criminal defense and personal injury litigation (诉讼). In 1983, he was elected to the state House of Representatives and served until 1990.On

18、e day at the Dessoto County courthouse, Grisham heard the horrifying testimony of a 12-year-old rape victim. He decided to write a novel exploring what would have happened if the girls father had murdered her attackers. He proceeded to get up every morning at 5 a.m. to work on the novel, called A Ti

19、me to Kill, which was published in 1988. Grishams next novel, The Firm, was one of the biggest hits of 1991, spending 47 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list. Grisham lives with his wife and two children, div/ding their time between their Victorian home on a 67 acre firm in Mississippi and a

20、204 acre plantation near Charlottesville, Virginia.When hes not writing, Grisham devotes time to charitable causes, including mission trips with his church group. As a child, he dreamt of becoming a professional baseball player, and now serves as the local Little League commissioner. He has built si

21、x ballfields on his property and hosts children from 26 Little League teams.（分数：5.00）(1).John Grisham is _ at present.（分数：1.00）A.a writerB.a lawyerC.a professional baseball playerD.a congressman(2).What inspired Grisham to write his first novel?（分数：1.00）A.A case of murder.B.A case of rape.C.His fath

22、ers experience.D.His life on the farm.(3).The story of the novel A Time to Kill would probably focus on _（分数：1.00）A.how the girl was attackedB.the circumstances of the rapeC.how the girls father took revengeD.how the case of rape was settled(4).Which of the following is NOT true of the novel The Fir

23、m?（分数：1.00）A.It was popular at the time of publication.B.It earned Grisham great fame.C.It brought Grisham wealth.D.It was carried by The New York Times as a series.(5).It can be inferred from the passage that Grisham has built ballfields on his property _（分数：1.00）A.to achieve his lifes goal as a pr

24、ofessional baseball playerB.to coach children in baseballC.to see his childhood dream being realized in the childrenD.to provide facilities of baseball trainingBPassage Two/BA quality education is the ultimate liberator. It can free people from poverty, giving them the power to greatly improve their

25、 lives and take a productive place in society. It can also free communities and countries, allowing them to leap forward into periods of wealth and social unity that otherwise would not be possible.For this reason, the international community has committed itself to getting all the worlds children i

26、nto primary school by 2015, a commitment known as Education for All.Can education for all be achieved by 2015? The answer is definitely “yes“, although it is a difficult task. If we now measure the goal in terms of children successfully completing a minimum of five years of primary school, instead o

27、f just enrolling for classes, which used to be the measuring stick for education, then the challenge becomes even more difficult. Only 32 countries were formerly believed to be at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of enrollment rates. The number rises to 88 if completion rates are

28、 used as the criterion.Still, the goal is achievable with the right policies and the right support from the international community. 59 of the 88 countries at risk can reach universal primary completion by 2015 if they bring the efficiency and quality of their education systems into line with standa

29、rds observed in higher-performing systems. They also need significant increases in external financing and technical support. The 29 countries lagging farthest behind will not reach the goal without unprecedented rates of progress. But this is attainable with creative solution, including use of infor

30、mation technologies, flexible and targeted foreign aid, and fewer people living in poverty.A key lesson of experience about what makes development effective is that a countrys capacity to use aid well depends heavily on its policies, institutions and management. Where a country scores well on these

31、criteria, foreign assistance can be highly effective.（分数：5.00）(1).In the first paragraph, the author suggests that a quality education can _（分数：1.00）A.free countries from foreign rulesB.speed up social progressC.give people freedomD.liberate people from any exploitation(2).Ideally, the goal of the p

32、rogram of Education for All is to _ by 2015.（分数：1.00）A.get all the worlds children to complete primary schoolB.enroll all the worlds children into primary schoolC.give quality education to people of 88 countriesD.support those committed to transforming their education systems(3)._ countries are now

33、at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of completion rates.（分数：1.00）A.32B.59C.29D.88(4).According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as the right policy?（分数：1.00）A.Raising the efficiency of education systems.B.Improving the quality of education.C.Using informati

34、on technologies.D.Building more primary schools.(5).As can be gathered from the last paragraph, foreign aid _（分数：1.00）A.may not be highly effectiveB.is provided only when some criteria are metC.alone makes development possibleD.is most effective for those countries lagging farthest behindBPassage Th

35、ree/BMost people think of lions as strictly African beasts, but only because theyre been killed off almost everywhere else. Ten thousand years ago lions spanned vast sections of the globe. Now lions hold only a small fraction of their former habitat, and Asiatic lions, a subspecies that split from A

36、frican lions perhaps 100,000 years ago, hang on to an almost impossibly small slice of their former territory.India is the proud steward of these 300 or so lions, which live primarily in a 560-square-mile sanctuary (保护区). It took me a year and a half to get a permit to explore the entire Gir Forest-

37、and no time at all to see why these lions became symbols of royalty and greatness. A tiger will hide in the forest unseen, but a lion stands its ground, curious and unafraid-lionhearted. Though they told me in subtle ways when I got too close, Girs lions allowed me unique glimpses into their lives d

38、uring my three months in the forest. Its odd to think that they are threatened by extinction; Gir has as many lions as it can hold-too many, in fact. With territory in short supply, lions move about near the boundary of the forest and even leave it altogether, often clashing with people. Thats one r

39、eason India is creating a second sanctuary. There are other pressing reasons: outbreaks of disease or natural disasters. In 1994 a serious disease killed more than a third of Africas Serengeti lions-a thousand animals-a fate that could easily happen to Girs cats. These lions are especially vulnerabl

40、e to disease because they descend from as few as a dozen individuals. “If you do a DNA test, Asiatic lions actually look like identical twins,“ says Stephen OBrien, a geneticist (基因学家) who has studied them. Yet the dangers are hidden, and you wouldnt suspect them by watching these lords of the fores

41、t. The lions display vitality, and no small measure of charm.Though the gentle intimacy of play vanishes when its time to eat, meals in Gir are not necessarily frantic affairs. For a mother and her baby lion sharing a deer, or a young male eating an antelope (羚羊), theres no need to fight for a cut o

42、f the kill. The animals they hunt for food are generally smaller in Gir than those in Africa, and hunting groups tend to be smaller as well.（分数：5.00）(1).In the first paragraph, the author tells us that Asiatic lions _（分数：1.00）A.have killed off other lionsB.have descended from African lionsC.used to

43、span vast sections of the globeD.have lost their habitat(2).What impressed the author most when he went to watch the lions in the Gir Forest?（分数：1.00）A.Their friendliness.B.Their size.C.Their intimacy.D.Their vitality.(3).What does the sentence “.meals in Gir are not necessarily frantic affair“ mean

44、?（分数：1.00）A.The lions do not show intimacy among them any more.B.The lions may not need to fight for food.C.Food is not readily available in that region.D.Meals can be obtained only with great effort.(4).The lions in the Gir Forest are especially vulnerable to disease because _（分数：1.00）A.they have d

45、escended from a dozen or so ancestorsB.they are smaller than the African lionsC.they do not have enough to eatD.they are physically weaker than the African lions(5).One of the reasons why India is creating a secondary sanctuary for the Asiatic lions is that（分数：1.00）A.the present sanctuary is not lar

46、ge enoughB.scientists want to do more research on themC.they have killed many peopleD.the forest is shrinking in sizeBPassage Four/BAfter retirement from medical research, my wife and I built our home in a gated community surrounded by yacht clubs and golf courses on Hilton Head Island. But when I l

47、eft for the other side of the island, I was traveling on unpaved roads lined with leaky cottages. The “lifestyle“ of many of the native islanders stood in shocking contrast to my comfortable existenceBy talking to the local folks, I discovered that the vast majority of the maids, gardeners, waitress

48、es and construction workers who make this island work had little or no access to medical care. It seemed outrageous to me. I wondered why someone didnt do something about that. Then my fathers words, which he had asked his children daily when they were young, rang in my head again: “What did you do

49、for someone today?“Even though my father had died several years before, I guess I still didnt want to disappoint him. So I started working on a solution. The island was full of retired doctors. If I could persuade them to spend a few hours a week volunteering their services, we could provide free primary health care to those so desperately in need of it. Most of the doctors I approached
