阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Winnie-the-Pooh by A. A. Milne
Winnie-the-Pooh has been introduced and reintroduced to generation after generation as a model of a child’s best friend. However, not everyone has found Pooh is lovely. This classic has been banned(禁止)in a variety of countries at one point or another, including Russia, Turkey, and even its home, England. In fact, even some places in the United States have banned this book!
So why would anyone ever like to keep children from, the joy of Milne’s classic? In the case of Russia, Minnie-the-Pooh was banned in 2009 because of allege(所谓的)Nazi ties.
The Wonderful wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
Originally published in the year 1900, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is one of the foundations of the fairytale genre. Who, then, would seek to ban a book that has become so important to the American experience?
The Detroit Library banned The wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1957 for allegedly having no value for children.
Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White
White’s tale of the relationship between two unexpected creatures, a spider and a pig, has been drawing children in for over half a century. Published in 1952, the classic has been readily displayed on most library shelves for children to read.
However, some people would like t make this book never see the light of the day. In one extreme case, a school in England banned Charlotte’s Web for fear that the pig Wilbur might be offensive(冒犯的) to Muslim students. Fortunately, the Muslin Council of Britain saw the foolishness of this ban, so the book was quickly put back to their rightful place on the shelves.
Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
Though it’s been published for fifty years, this book hasn’t always been really found in libraries and in stores. After its release, Where the Wild Things Are was banned in libraries all across the U. S. for its dark tone and unruly lead character. Some parents felt obviously uncomfortable about Max, the story’s main character. Nowadays, you’ll find far fewer libraries that still hold this ban.

Being the eldest son of my parents,I became the “big boy” of the family.My parents gave me the status of a “big boy” and started giving me the tasks that
were somewhat challenging for me at that young age.Whenever I had some hesitation in doing a certain task, they used to encourage me by saying,“you are a big boy, you can do it”. Though I was a small boy at that time but my confidence level grew to the new heights and I started behaving myself as a big boy. That “big boy” concept slowly developed into the “I can do” philosophy(哲理) which has helped me a lot throughout my life.
The “I can do” philosophy prepares you mentally,as well physically, and helps you to do what otherwise you think you cannot do. The “big boy” concept boosts(促进)your inner energy level to such an extent where you start believing “you can do”. And that is the starting point which opens the doors of success for you.
Whenever I have to face a challenge, I say to myself “I can do it because I am a big boy” and that encourages me a lot in overcoming my fears and provides my body with the extra energy needed to do that “impossible” task.
The “big boy” concept is always helpful to anyone. It takes away all your weaknesses and thus enables you to accept big challenges. By accepting big challenges, you invite big opportunities and thus get big rewards.
Success in life comes to the people who think big, act big and are willing to accept big responsibilities. Make yourself feel big. Plan something big. Surprise your colleagues by accepting big responsibilities. Be always willing to do big tasks. Once you accept yourself as a big boy or a big girl then nothing can come in your way of success.

Since birth, Joy and Miriam were left at the gate of an orphanage(孤儿院). For the disabled sisters, who both have spina bifida(脊柱裂),it may have seemed that all hopes were lost at that time. But after being adopted by a British couple, they have become two of the country’s most promising wheelchair basketball stars. In 2005, the Haizes adopted them.

It gave me a path to follow.”Miriam was then chosen to play at both regional trials and the Sainsbury’s School Games in 2014. Of course, she earned herself a place at the famous GB Futures training camp. “GB Futures helped me a lot. It helped me take basketball to another level and learn more about the game and its history. It also helped me be more independent,”said Miriam. Meanwhile, Joy is currently the youngest player on the GB women’s team-but she is making her mark on the international stage having represented
Great Britain in tournaments(锦标赛) all over the world.
The teenagers are now eager to encourage others to explore the world of wheelchair sports. “You should have confidence in yourself. Th at’s the one thing to help you succeed.

Violent winds swept the ocean, and waves thundered to shore, shaking the lookout tower at Pea Island Rescue Station. Surfman Meekins was on watch that evening of 11 October 1896. A hurricane had struck the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and the tide was so strong that beach patrols(巡逻)had been canceled.
Still, Meekins paid close attention to the horizon. This was the type of weather that could blow ships hundreds of miles off course.
At sea, the ship E.S. Newman was caught in the storm. The captain, whose wife and child were on board, feared the Newman would soon break up. He made the decision to beach his ship, then fired a signal, praying that someone onshore would see it.
Meekins, whose eyes were trained to cut through rain, saw the signal. He told the station keeper, Captain Richard Etheridge. Etheridge had called his men and begun rescue operations.
The crew set off to the scene of the wreck(失事船). Even when the rescue equipment proved useless, Etheridge refused to give up. Choosing two of his stronger workmates, he tied rope lines around their waists and sent them into the surging water. The two men, being tied together and holding a line from shore, managed to make their way to the hip.
The first to be rescued were the captain’s wife and child. With the two passengers tied to their backs, the two men thought their way back to shore. Taking turns, Etheridge and his crew made then trips to the Newman, saving every person on board. It was 1:00 a.m. when the crew and survivors finally made it back to the station.
32. What was the author’s main purpose of writing this article?
A. To alert(警告)sailors to the dangers of hurricanes.
B. To create a story describing a rescue at sea.
C. To inform people of Richard Etheridge.
D. To record the details of the rescue.
33. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “surging”?
A. moving quickly and forcefully
B. filling somebody with a strong feeling
C. increasing in value
D. moving slowly
34. Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The wife and children of the captain of E.S. Newman waited for him at home anxiously.
B. The rescue happened at night in the autumn.
C. Meekins didn’t see the signals until the captain fired then three times.
D. All the members of the crew went to the ship and saved all the people.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. It was many years before African-Americans could work for the United States Coast Guard.
B. All the passengers of a shipwreck were rescued because of heroic the efforts of a special leader and his crew.
C. A terrible hurricane took place off the coast of North Carolina and threatened the lives of many sailors.
D. At no other time in American history have so many shipwrecked passengers survived such a violent storm.

How to Study for an Exam in One Day
The last few weeks of school can be scary for students of all ages, whether you’re cramming(恶补) for a test or trying to write an essay quickly. 36 These tips are designed to help you.
◆Remain calm.
If you’ve left studying to the day before the test, it’s likely that you’re panicking about how you’re gong to get all of the work done in such a small amount of time. No matter that your circumstances are, it’s absolutely important that you don’t panic. 37
◆Set a timer to keep relaxed.
If you’re feeling overly stressed, take fifteen minutes before studying to clear your mind and relax. Try some yoga, listen to a favorite song, or make a quick call to a supportive friend. 38 Set that timer and be prepared to get to work once relaxation time is over.
◆Find a quiet spot.
__39 And while friends can provide some much-needed support, they’re not always the best study buddies(伙伴) when you’re pressed for time. If you’re serious about getting the work done, look for a quiet study spot away from distractions.
◆40
Don’t make the mistake of beginning a study session without the proper supplies. Take the time to find a blank notebook, some pens, the course syllabus(课程大纲), the textbook, and your full class notes.

A. Gather your materials.
B. Memorize key concepts.
