Attendees at the next Annual Meeting of the newly formed Jane Austen Society were expressing great sadness to the loss of this relic to an American when Alberta H. Burke rose to her feet.I am the American who bought Jane s hair, and if the Society would like to have it,I shall be glad to make a contribution of it. 5 The Society agreed,and the hair is now in the Jane Austen House at Chawton.But Mrs Burke s collection of Austen s letters and manuscripts(手稿）was donated to the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, combined with other letters purchased for the library. Having kept the hair and lost the handwriting,English Janeites may cast envious glances towards New York, where an exhibition of letters and manuscripts, together with first and early illustrated editions of Austen s novels and other related material,currently occupies part of the Morgan. A good modern edition of Austen s letters was published by R. W. Chapman in 1932 and updated in 1952; in 1995,Deirdre Le Faye re-edited the collection for Oxford University Press. It represents a small fraction of Austen s output, estimated to have been around 3,000 letters,mostly written to her sister Cassandra. As Virginia Woolf imagines their loss,when Miss Cassandra Austen grew old, and the growth of her sisters fame made her suspect that a time might come when strangers would try to find out and scholars make guesses about, she burnt,at great cost to herself, every letter that could satisfy their curiosity, and spared only what she judged to be too unimportant to be of interest”。 Even those that escaped have had lines removed by cutting. Nevertheless, much of interest remains. Visitors may not read all seventeen letters on display. But those with the eyes to focus will be able to find evidence of Austen s sharp tongue,as when a neighbour s wife is discovered to be everything that the Neighbourhood could wish her,silly and cross.We can see her sense of the ridiculous, her talent for skillful characterization and a writers high spirits that rarely desert her for long. 24.Where can people see the only proved lock of Jane Austen s hair housed? A.Sotheby B.Alberta H.Burke s house C.the Jane Austen House at Chawton D.the Pierpont Morgan Library 25.Why may English Janeites cast envious glances towards New York? A. Because a small fraction of Austen s output, estimated to have been around 3,000 letters, currently occupies part of the Morgan. B.Because though her hair was kept in Britain, many other things left by Austen were in New York C.Because a good modern edition of Austen s letters was published in New York. D.Because Deirdre Le Faye re-edited Austen s collection for the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York. 26.Which of the following does the underlined word relic” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A.lock B.hair C.letter D. manuscript 27.We can infer from the passage that A. Miss Cassandra Austen made an attempt to maintain a good name for Austen. 6 B. Austen s work brought her sister much personal fame and many positive reviews. C. A Janeite fan culture came into being during Austen s lifetime. D.Austen s sister burned every letter and achieved her purpose. C Simply put, cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the Internet (“the cloud”） to offer faster innovation, flexible materials, and economies of scale. You typically pay only for cloud services you use, helping lower your operating costs,run your infrastructure more efficiently and scale(改变大小）as your business needs change. Cloud computing is a big shift from the traditional way businesses think about IT resources. Here are some common reasons organizations are turning to cloud computing services: Cloud computing eliminates the costs of buying hardware and software and setting up and running on-site data centers. Most cloud computing services are provided self service and on demand, so even vast amounts of computing resources can be provided in minutes, typically with just a few mouse clicks,giving businesses a lot of flexibility and taking the pressure off capacity planning Cloud computing removes the need for many of these tasks like hardware setup, software patching, and other time-consuming IT management chores,so IT teams can spend time on achieving more important business goals. The biggest cloud computing services run on a worldwide network of secure datacenters, which are regularly upgraded to the latest generation of fast and efficient computing hardware. Cloud computing makes data backup, disaster recovery and business continuity easier and less expensive. Many cloud providers offer a broad set of policies,technologies and controls that strengthen your security posture overall, helping protect your data, apps and infrastructure from potential threats. 28.

First, my mother fell ill and was hospitalized; then my father, in poor health himself, was filled with anxiety and worry. Both had to stay in the hospital, leaving my younger sister and me alone at home. As the sun set in the west, fear rose in my heart.In the dim of night,the hills beyond the village loomed in a ghostly shape on the windows of our spacious room; the frightening howls of wolves often scared us out of our sleep. Our cries for help were unlikely to reach the villagers, for our home was located in the school some distance away from the village. Suddenly I thought of the whistle my mother used for PE classes. I took out the whistle and, drawing a deep breath,I blew it as loudly as possible. Before long,a bustle of footsteps and voices came nearer and nearer,and flashlight beams crisscrossed outside our windows. Hearing my name called,I went to open the door, and there in front of me stood a group of familiar villagers, each with a hoe on the shoulder. The very sight of their kind faces and deeply concerned eyes drove the fear away from my heart. “Now go to sleep, kid. We are staying out here tonight!” said one old man. Resting their hoes against the wall, they sat or squatted nearby,smoking Chinese pipes or chatting in loud voices.Gradually,I fell asleep. They didnt leave until daybreak; and at dusk they came again, banging their hoes on the flagstones as if to tell me: Dont be afraid, kid,we are here with you. No one dares to hurt you! Afterwards, the bustle of footsteps and the clatter of hoes could be heard every night around our home as if on schedule. I know what they actually meant by making the noises was to remove fear from my mind and reassure me: they were right outside our windows! Ever since then,I have been convinced that sound has temperature and that it can warm the hearts of lonely, fear-stricken people. 32.Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. The noises”made by villagers outside the authors windows accompanied the writer and his sister to sleep. B.The authors home was far away from the village, and thats why he didnt dare to seek help from villagers. C.At the sight of villagers faces,the author still felt fearful from the bottom of his heart. D. The author was left alone at home because both his parents fell ill and were in hospital. 33.Whats the probable meaning of the underlined word loomed in Paragraph 2? A.surrounded B.appeared C.happened D.reached 8 34. What the best title for this text? A.A Life-saving Whistle B. The Story of Wolves and Villagers C.The Temperature of Sound D.The Misfortune of My Childhood 35.Where can we most probably find the passage? A. In a popular culture magazine B. In a collection of literature C.In a news report D.In a tour guide 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Some people succeed,while others may not. 36 The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, you must be optimistic(乐观 的）。If you do not expect to win,you will not try as hard as those who do expect to win. 37 If you do not have an aim,then you will not be motivated to work hard and put your performance under the microscope to make sure that every detail is right. Another quality that helps people succeed is creativity(有创造力）thinking about things in a different way and wondering how others would do the same thing. 38 They might be successful with a little creativity,but the most successful people are the most creative ones. 39 It will help you learn about how other people have achieved success. If you want to learn how to set up a successful business, you should read books about people like Bill Gates and Jerry Yang. Practicing is also important if you want to succeed because practice makes perfect. Practise every day at whatever career you are in,and by doing so,you will see yourself,your business and your self-confidence begin to grow. 40 Success is yours for the taking! Cheers! A. If you trust yourself and do what you want confidently,your colleagues will be happy to work with you. B. Think about some successful people you know.
