二、阅读理解(共4题,共 20分)

21、   The story is little known, but the anthologist Allie Esiri stumbled across it while researching her new book.“It's extraordinary that it may have been Shakespeare's words that jolted he guard's humanity," she said.

After the Holocaust(大屠杀) Eva was reunited with her boyfriend, Jan. They married, moved to the US and both taught chemistry at Illinois University, Yet none of that might have happened had she not been cast in A Midsummer Night's Dream in 1944. Eva never got to appear in the show as she was driven to the Theresienstadt ghetto Czechoslovakia, where 33,000 died. But it was there that she met the love of her life.

Now 95, Jan still remembers falling in love with the girl he saw helping elderly people with their luggage as they arrived. He read poetry with her and Eva would recite the lines she never got to perform. “Shakespeare was a very important part of her life. I loved hearing her recite it,”he said.

Months later Eva was saying those lines again in the Polish winter. By then, she had lost her father at Auschwitz. She and her mother were assessed by Dr. Josef Mengele and had been sent to the Kurzbach labor camp. It was there that a guard she knew as Suchy heard her lines as Titania.“He seemed to be listening to my recitations,” Eva wrote in her memoir.

The mere act of him talking to her was forbidden but Eva also noted that he spoke to her with the polite form of“you” in German. Mr. Rocek said that Suchy had no ulterior motive.“He never tried in the slightest to touch her or anything,” he said. The guard kept a watchful eye over Eva and her mother, particularly when the inmates were marched toward the Gross-Rosen concentration camp. Knowing this was a path to death, Suchy approached Eva's mother Anna early one morning and told them to escape. Eva, Anna and three others fled into the woods.

Esiri, who includes the story in her book Shakespeare for Every Day of the Year, says:“You wouldn't think those conversations in concentration camps had any human moments.”Michael Dobson, professor of Shakespeare studies at Birmingham University, said: “It's what culture's for. To provide channels of communication between people even in the hardest circumstances.”Eva and Jan were married from 1947 until her death in 2015, aged 87. He said:“We saw A Midsummer Night's Dream whenever we had a chance.”

1Put the following events in the correct order.

a. Eva and Jan moved to the US and taught in a university,

b. Eva met Jan and lost her heart to him.

c. Eva's father passed away at Auschwitz.

d. Eva was forced to leave for Czechoslovakia.

e. Eva and her mother were sent to the Kurzbach labor camp.

22、   It was a day in late December. The Christmas tree had been taken down. The lights and decorations had been boxed up and put in the closet until next year. And I was feeling a little empty. Surely I wasn't looking forward to the long, cold, dark winter to come. I had always been a light lover on the inside. I tried to take comfort in knowing that a few more minutes of daylight was being added each day, but it hardly worked.

I was both surprised and delighted when I looked, out of my window and saw that a spring-like day had suddenly arrived. I could hear the neighborhood children outside playing in the warm air. I smiled when I saw them and my inner little girl longed to be out there riding bikes and playing games as well.

I tied my dogs for their afternoon walk hoping to enjoy some of the sunshine myself. As I was about to head out the door, however, I decided to do something a little different. I reached down and pulled my shoes and socks off. I hadn't been barefoot outside since the summer. I slowly stepped out on the cool damp grass. It felt so alive under my feet. I laughed as I walked along. I remembered something I once read too, “Walk as if you were kissing the earth with your feet.” And with each step I did so. My walk felt sacred and holy. I felt a oneness with the world and the love of Heaven all around me. With love in my heart, I thanked God for the gift of this day and no longer dreaded the coming of the winter. I thought I had gathered enough energy and courage to welcome it.

AH of us are walking through this life. But it is up to each of us how we do so. Are you going to trip and walk with heavy steps and complain with each step you take? Or are you going to kiss the earth with your feet and Heaven with your heart? The choice is yours.

【1】How did the author feel shortly after Christmas at first?

A.Surprised.

B.Delighted.

C.Unhappy.

D.Relaxed.

【2】Why did the author want to go out?

A.She was inspired by delighted children.

B.She had to walk her dogs in the afternoon.

C.She intended to give the neighbors warmth.

D.She was touched by her childhood memories.

【3】What a different thing did the author do?

A.She kissed the earth lovingly.

B.She walked barefoot outside.

C.She read a book on the grass.

D.She dried her feet in the sun.

【4】What does the underlined word “dreaded” mean in Paragraph 3?

A.Forgot.

B.Judged.

C.Desired.

D.Feared.

23、Our screens give out all kinds of light, especially blue light. Blue light, the argument goes, can affect your eye health, your sleeping patterns, and your health. Blue light glasses—technically they should be called “blue light blocking glasses”— filter out (过滤) blue light, letting in the other wavelengths of light, thus theoretically reducing the danger that blue light presents. Blue light glasses are designed to reduce what’s known as digital eye strain (疲劳), or DES. There are many symptoms associated with DES, including headaches, dry eyes, and unclear vision.

How effective are blue light glasses? We’ll start with the bad news: there is no evidence that blue light glasses have any effect on eye strain from digital screens. In fact, one British glasses dealer was fined for indicating that blue light glasses can protect against DES, given that there’s no scientific evidence of this. What’s more likely is that DES is caused by overuse, or misuse of eyes. After all, the sun is a substantially more powerful provider of blue light than our screens, and it has been decidedly proved that DES isn’t associated with the sun at all. The general agreement is that DES is caused by spending too long, staring too hard, and sitting too close to our screens. Health experts generally recommend taking breaks to prevent DES, rather than relying on blue light glasses.

But there is one thing that blue light glasses might help with. Some studies have indicated that blue light can be bad for our circadian rhythms (生理节奏). In other words, exposure to blue light could make it harder to fall asleep. There haven’t been enough studies to tell if blue light glasses, worn for a few hours before bed, could help you sleep better, but it’s not out of the question.

That said, there are interesting reports of people loving their blue light glasses. Even if it’s just the placebo (安慰剂) effect, that can be incredibly powerful, and if it works on you, keep doing it.

【1】What can we know from Paragraphs 1 and 2?

A.Blue light is beneficial to health.

B.It’s advisable to take breaks to prevent DES.

C.Blue light glasses can protect against DES.

D.Blue light mainly comes from the screens.

【2】What is DES likely caused by?

A.Poor-quality sunglasses.

B.Improper use of eyes.

C.The blinding sunlight.

D.The small size of screens.

【3】What can we know about blue light glasses from Paragraph 3?

A.They reduce eye strain.

B.They affect circadian rhythms.

C.They may be helpful for sleep.

D.They help to see things more clearly.

【4】What is the author’s attitude to blue light glasses?

A.Objective.

B.Opposed.

C.Indifferent.

D.Unclear.

24、No pains, no gains. This is especially true for Amanda Gorman. In 2021, she became the youngest poet to write and read her works at a presidential inauguration (就职典礼). The 22-year old impressed the audience with The Hill We Climb, which referred to both painful history and hope for the future.

You wouldn’t know it from her delivery of her poem at the inauguration, but up until a few years ago, she struggled to overcome her speech problem. For much of her life, including when she was still an undergraduate at Harvard, Gorman had trouble pronouncing the letter “R”.

Her situation presented difficulties, but also had benefits. “I think it made me all that much stronger of a writer when you have to teach yourself how to say words from zero. I think of my speech trouble not as a weakness or a disability, but as one of my greatest strengths.”

To practice saying the letter, she’d listen on repeat to one song packed with “R”s — Aaron Burr, Sir from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s historical masterpiece, Hamilton. She would try to keep up with the singer as he was doing the rap (说唱). She believed if she could train herself to do this song, then she could train herself to say the letter “R”correctly. Sure enough, rapping along with Miranda’s fast-paced rhymes worked, and Gorman’s performance of her piece, The Hill We Climb, ranked among the highlights of the inauguration.

Overcoming a speech problem is a milestone for her. Gorman said she owes a lot to the Pulitzer Prize winning musical. That was why she included a few references to Hamilton in her inspiring poem, some of which the author of Hamilton noticed: He praised her performance in a post. “You were perfect. Perfectly written, perfectly delivered.”

【1】What did Gorman do to impress the audience at the inauguration?

A.Share her painful story.

B.Read her poem in public.

C.Write a poem in real time.

D.Express concern for future.

【2】Which word used to be difficult for Gorman to read properly?

A.Amanda.

B.Mickey.

C.Hamilton.

D.Miranda.

【3】Why did Gorman learn to sing Aaron Burr, Sir?

A.To win wide recognition.

B.To train her singing skills.

C.To improve pronunciation.

D.To learn fast-paced styles.

【4】What can we learn from Gorman’s story?

A.Learn to walk before you run.

B.Practice breaks down barriers.

C.Power of role models is great.

D.Poem writing is key to success.
