He was born in Albany, Mississippi, at the end of the 19th century, and the family spelled the name Falkner.He publ

24、ished his first book when he was twenty-seven. In 1950, at the age of fifty-three, he was given the Nobel Prize for Literature (文学). After that he kept on writing and became more successful. He was generally regarded as the great American writer of his time when he died in 1962. Millions of people w

25、ho read his works thought he had spent almost the whole life in Mississippi. Even the people of Oxford.Faulkner was a kind of legend (传奇) in his own lifetime. There was, for example, the mystery (不可思议的事物) of who pat the “u“ in William s last name. For many years the commonly accepted story was that

26、it was a careless printer, in setting type for The Mar be Fun (1924). However, Faulkners biographer (传记作者) Carvel Collins said that the writer himself added it, and at least occasionally, as early as in 1918.（分数：4.00）(1).At the time of his death, Faulkner was _ years old.（分数：1.00）A.sixty-twoB.fifty-

29、elpful for your study. However not everyone has a good memory. Besides, to forget things is not al- ways a bad thing. As a matter of fact, to forget certain things mayhelp you remember more useful and meaningful things.I am sure everyone has this experience, that is, when you have learned something

30、and remembered it, the memory will stay in your mind and you refuse to accept new ideas about it. If you find what you have remembered wrong, it is even more difficult to forget. In this sense, it is easier to remember new things than cast away wrong memories.There are things that you forget permane

31、ntly (永久地) and things you forget only temporarily (暂时地). For instance (例子) , sometimes when you are doing mathematics, you just cannot think of a certain formula (公式). Or sometimes when you come across a friend, his name just escapes you. They are examples of temporary loss of memory. When this happ

32、ens, you had better try to do some- thing else. And if you return to the maths some time later, you can most probably remember the formula.Needless to say you must try hard to get rid of wrong memories. But sometimes it is also necessary to forget forever things that are correct. For example, we may

33、 have watched hundreds of films since childhood. If we remember every film ( though this is not highly possible) , we will not be able to remember a lot of other things. That is why many films are gradually forgotten as time passes. Yet at the same time, we continue to remember new things. So rememb

34、ering, forget- ting, forgetting, remembering, this is the cycle (循环) of our mind.（分数：3.00）(1).Getting rid of wrong memories is _.（分数：1.00）A.much easier than remembering new thingsB.as difficult as accepting new ideasC.as easy as accepting new ideasD.more difficult than remembering new things(2).When

35、 you forget something temporarily, you may_.（分数：1.00）A.put it aside and ask for helpB.cast it away and forget itC.do some other things and return to it laterD.think it hard and try to remember it(3).If you find what you have remembered wrong, you must_.（分数：1.00）A.keep it in mindB.get rid of itC.do s

36、omething elseD.remember it foreverBC/BOne of the strongest arguments for the raising of the school leaving age ( often referred to by its initials , ROSLA ) has been that it will bring us some way nearer to the ideal of “equality of opportunity.“Many people like to think of our present system of sch

37、ooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children. It would be good to think that noone who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is apparently so thorough. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less wealthy homes reach university or d

38、o well in other ways.Unfortunately we now have plenty of evidence that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For in- stance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all malelS-20 year olds. Half of those soldiers

39、who were placed in the two highest ability group had left school at 15.It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939. Onestudy of 5 000 children from birth to 21 years old indicated that up to half the bright pupils

40、from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.It is clear from this and much other evidence that many children are still leaving school too early to bene

41、fit from the prizesmoney, social respectability, and interesting jobswhich higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social circumstances. Their parents often need the extra money, another wage-earner would bring in; they do not value

42、 education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “Its up to you.“（分数：4.00）(1).It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children _.（分数：1.00）A.a more enjoyable time at schoolB.th

43、e same chance in societyC.higher scores in intelligence testsD.the right to go to better schools(2).People would like to think that _.（分数：1.00）A.those with the least money get the best educationB.intelligent children are always selected by the systemC.equal numbers of poor and wealthy children reach

44、 universityD.only really clever children do well(3).Working class children are felt to be at a disadvantage because_.（分数：1.00）A.more than half leave school when they are 16B.fewer go to university than ever beforeC.many of the clever ones leave school earlyD.fewer boys than girls stay at school afte

45、r 16(4).Many children leave school early because _.（分数：1.00）A.they have to contribute something to their familys incomeB.their social circumstances make them unhappyC.their school is a dull and unhappy placeD.Their parents dont allow them to make their own decisionsBD/BEditor:These days there has be

46、en a lot of talk about cutting a day off the sixday work week. I find one excuse for not taking this system (制度) unacceptable.It says that under todays conditions, when our work efficiency is still very low and the work-load quite heavy, we cannot follow the ex- ample of technologically advanced wes

47、tern countries in practising the five-day work week. Their conclusion is: The time is not ripe for such a system.I really don t see much point in this argument (争论,论点). They say the efficiency of the majority of our workers has been very low, but do they know what caused todays low efficiency? Its o

48、ld time requirement that no matter how soon you can get your work done, you must still stick to your post and never leave.If we do not start a new system that is more exciting now , there are few chances that the low efficiency in our work can be changed.（分数：5.00）(1).From this letter we can see that_.（分数：1.00）A.peoples work-load is heavy indeed these daysB.it is a letter
