11、rtant woman of the past 100 years? Jane Addams (1860-1935) Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 19
12、31. Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Rachel Carson (1907-1964) 3 If it werent for Rachel Carson, the environment movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals o
13、n humans and on the worlds lakes and oceans. Sandra Day OConnor (1930-present) When Sandra Day OConnor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator and, in 1981, the first woman to join

B I start every summer with the best of intentions: to attack one big book from the past, a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious. Often the pairings of books and settings have been
18、 purely accidental: “Moby Dick” on a three-day cross-country train trip; “The Magic Mountain” in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms, and little to do beyond row on the salt pond. Attempting “The Man Without Qualities” on a return to
19、Hawaii, my native state, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes, then decided that Id got the point and went swimming instead. But this summer I find myself at a loss. Im not quite interested in Balzac, say, or “Tristram Shandy.” Theres always “War and Peace,” which
20、Ive covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the “War” part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyones name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite once more into “The Waves” or
21、 “Justine,” which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to properly belong in serious literature. And then theres Stendhals “The Red and the Black,” which happens to be the name of my favorite cocktail of the summer, created by Michael Cecconi at Savoy and Back Forty. It is easy
22、to drink, and knocking back three or four seems like such a delightful idea. Cecconis theory: “I take whatevers fresh at the greenmarket and turn it into liquid.” The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the park, making one feel cheerful and peaceful all at once, 4 lying on uncut grass with eyes s

25、before. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Books of Summer B. My Summer Holidays C. To Read or Not to Read D. Its Never Too Late to Read C Despite the anxiety that Jones Hostsaid by some to be the first digital novelcaused in 1993, publishers werent too concerned that e-books woul
26、d one day replace printed books. However, that attitude was changed suddenly in 2007 when Amazons Kindle came onto the market, which led to e-book sales jumping up to 1,260%. Since then, e-books popularity has continued to rise steadily. The publishing industry seemed to have lost all possible abili
27、ty to regain its position. Will printed books eventually become a thing of the past? According to Mike Shatzkin, founder and CEO of the Idea Logical Company, printed books just for plain old reading will, in 10 years from now, be unusual. “Not so unusual that a kid will say, Mommy, whats that? but u
28、nusual enough that on the train youll see one or two people reading something printed, while everyone else is reading off of a tablet.” And Shatzkin believes that the demise of print is sure to happen, though such a day wont arrive for perhaps 50 to 100 or more years. Robert Stein, founder of the In
29、stitute for the Future of the Book, however, believes that books wont disappear entirely, at least not anytime soon. “Print will exist, but it will be in a different field and will appeal to a very limited audience, as poetry does today. Like woodblock printing, hand-processed film and folk weaving
30、(编织 ), printed pages may assume an artistic value,” he says. He imagines that future forms of books might be developed not by traditional publishers but by the gaming industry. He also predicts that the distinction between writer and reader will be made less obvious by a social reading experience in
31、 which authors and consumers can digitally interact with each other to discuss any passage, sentence or line. Is there anything we risk sacrificing, should print really disappear entirely? According to Maryanne Wolf, director of the Center for Reading and Language Research at Tufts University, elect
32、ronic reading can negatively affect the way the brain responds to text, including reading comprehension, focus and the ability to maintain attention to details like plot and order of events. “My worry is that well have a short-circuited reading brain, excellent for gathering information but not nece
33、ssarily for forming critical, analytical deep reading skills,” Wolf says. The field, however, is in an early stage, and findings about the negative effects of e-reading are far from 5 certain. In light of this, Wolf hopes that we continue to maintain a “bi-literate” societyone that values both the d
34、igital and printed word. “A full reading brain circuit is a huge contribution to the intellectual development of our species. Anything that threatens it deserves our attention.” 28. How did publishers feel about the rising e-book sales inspired by the Kindle? A. Worried. B. Excited. C. Curious. D. S

A. e-reading will strengthen the power of our brain B. digital books and paper books should not co-exist C. e-reading will make us more critical and thoughtful D. we should not risk losing a full reading brain circuit D We are not who we
37、 think we are. The American self-image is spread with the golden glow of opportunity. We think of the United States as a land of unlimited possibility, not so much a classless society but as a place where class is mutable a place where brains, energy and ambition are what count, not the circumstance
38、s of ones birth. The Economic Mobility Project, an ambitious research led by Pew Charitable Trusts, looked at the economic fortunes of a large group of families over time, comparing the income of parents in the late 1960s with the income of their children in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Here is t
39、he finding: The “rags to riches” story is much more common in Hollywood than on Main Street. Only 6 percent of children born to parents with family income at the very bottom move to the top. That is right, just 6 percent of children born to parents who ranked in the bottom of the study sample, in te
40、rms of income, were able to bootstrap their way into the top. Meanwhile, an incredible 42 percent of children born into that lowest are still stuck at the bottom, having been unable to climb a single rung of the income ladder. It is noted that even in Britain a nation we think of as burdened with a
41、hidebound(守旧的 ) class system children who are born poor have a better chance of moving up. When the studies were released, most reporters focused on the finding that African-Americans born to middle-class or upper middle-class families are earning slightly less, in inflation-adjusted dollars, than d
42、id their parents. One of the studies indicates, in fact, that most of the financial gains white families have made in the past three decades can be attributed to(归功于 ) the entry of white women into the labor force. This is much less true for African-Americans. The picture that emerges from all the q
43、uintiles, correlations and percentages is of a nation in which, overall, “the current generation of adults is better off than the previous one”, as one of the studies notes. The median income of the families in the sample group was $55,600 in the late 1960s; their childrens median family income was
44、measured at $71,900. However, this rising tide has not lifted all boats equally. The rich have seen far greater income gains than have the poor. Even more troubling is that our nation of America as the land of opportunity gets little support from the data. Americans move fairly easily up and down th
45、e middle rungs of the ladder, but there is “stickiness at the ends” four out of ten children who are born poor will remain poor, and four out of ten who are born rich will stay rich. 6 32. What did the Economic Mobility Project find in its research? A. Children from low-income families are unable to
46、 bootstrap their way to the top. B. Hollywood actors and actresses are upwardly mobile from rags to riches. C. The rags to riches story is more fiction than reality. D. The rags to riches story is only true for a small minority of whites. 33. It can be inferred from the undertone(潜台词 ) of the writer
47、 that America, as a classless society, should _. A. perfect its self-image as a land of opportunity B. have a higher level of upward mobility than Britain C. enable African-Americans to have exclusive access to well-paid employment D. encourage the current generation to work as hard as the previous
