Bertie knew there was smething in the wind. His mther had been sad in recent days, nt sick, just strangely
sad. The lin had just lain dwn beside him, his head warm n Bertie’s feet, when Father cleared his thrat and
began, “Yu’ll sn be eight, Bertie. A by needs a prper educatin. We’ve fund the right place fr yu, a
schl near Salisbury in England.”
His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie culd think f was his white lin. “But the lin,” he cried,
第 3页/共 8页

“What abut the lin?”
“I’m afraid there’s smething else I have t tell yu,” his father said. Lking acrss at Bertie’s mther, he
tk a deep breath. Then he tld Bertie he had met a circus wner frm France, wh was ver in Africa lking
tr lins t buy. He wuld cme t their farm in a few days.
“N! Yu can’t send him t a circus!” said Bertie. “Peple will cme t see him. He’ll be shut up behind bars.
I prmised him he never wuld be. And they will laugh at him. He’d rather die. Any animal wuld!” But as he
lked acrss the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.
Bertie felt cmpletely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father’s deep breathing next dr. With his
white lin at his heels, he crept dwnstairs in his pyjamas, tk dwn his father’s rifle frm the rack and stepped
ut int the night. He ran and ran till his legs culd run n mre. As the sun came up ver the grassland, he
climbed t the tp f a hill and sat dwn, his arms rund the lin’s neck. The time had cme.
“Be wild nw,” he whispered. “Yu’ve gt t be wild. Dn’t ever cme hme. All my life I’ll think f yu, I
prmise I will.” He buried his head in the lin’s neck. Then, Bertie clambered dwn ff the hill and walked away.
When he lked back, the lin was still sitting there watching him; but then he std up, yawned, stretched,
and sprang dwn after him. Bertie shuted at him, but he kept cming. He threw sticks. He threw stnes. Nthing
wrked.
There was nly ne thing left t d. With tears filling his eyes and his muth, he lifted the rifle t his
shulder and fired ver the lin’s head.
24. Bertie’s mther was sad prbably because she

If yu want t disturb the car industry, yu’d better have a few billin dllars: Mm-and-pp carmakers are
unlikely t beat the biggest car cmpanies. But in agriculture, small farmers can get the best f the majr players.
By cnnecting directly with custmers, and by respnding quickly t changes in the markets as well as in the
ecsystems, small farmers can keep ne step ahead f the big guys. As the c-funder f the Natinal Yung
Farmers Calitin (美国青年农会) and a family farmer myself. I have a frnt-rw seat t the innvatins amng
small farmers that are transfrming the industry.
Fr example, take the Quick Cut Greens Harvester, a tl develped just a cuple f years ag by a yung
farmer, Jnathan Dysinger, in Tennessee, with a small lan frm a lcal Slw Mney grup. It enables small-scale
第 4页/共 8页

farmers t harvest 175 punds f green vegetables per hur — a huge imprvement ver harvesting just a few
dzen punds by hand-suddenly making it pssible fr the little guys t cmpete with large farms f Califrnia.
Befre the tl came ut, small farmers culdn’t tuch the price per pund ffered by Califrnia farms. But nw,
with the cmbinatin f a litter price pint and a generally fresher prduct, they can stay in business.
The sustainable success f small farmers, thugh, wn’t happen withut fundamental changes t the industry.
One crucial factr is secure access t land. Cmpetitin frm investrs, develpers, and established large farmers
makes wning ne’s wn land unattainable fr many new farmers. Frm 2004 t 2013, agricultural land values
dubled, and they cntinue t rise in many regins.
Anther challenge fr mre than a millin f the mst qualified farm wrkers and managers is a nn-existent
path t citizenship — the greatest barrier t building a farm f their wn. With farmers ver the age f 65
utnumbering farmers yunger than 35 by six t ne, and with tw-thirds f the natin’s farmland in need f a
new farmer, we must clear the path fr talented peple willing t grw the natin’s fd.
There are slutins that culd light a path tward a mre sustainable and fairer farm ecnmy, but farmers
can’t clumsily put them tgether befre us. We at the NYFC need brad supprt as we urge Cngress t increase
farmland cnservatin, as we push fr immigratin refrm, and as we seek plicies that will ensure the success f
a diverse and ambitius next generatin f farms frm all backgrunds. With a new farm bill t be debated in
Cngress, cnsumers must take a stand with yung farmers.
27. The authr mentins car industry at the beginning f the passage t intrduce
.
A. a trend f develpment in agriculture
C. the prgress made in car industry
B. the imprtance f investing in car industry
D. a special feature f agriculture

D. Lans t small lcal farmers are necessary.
29. What is the difficulty fr thse new famers?
A. T gain mre financial aid.
C. T hire gd farm managers.
B. T have farms f their wn.
D. T win ld farmers’ supprt.

We have been defending humanities fr many decades nw, but the crisis f the humanities nly grws. In
the face f declining student interest and munting plitical scrutiny ( 审 查 ), universities and clleges are
increasingly putting humanities departments n the chpping blck.
As a humanist, I am prepared t admit that I d nt knw what the value f the humanities is. I nce asked
the best teacher I ever had why she n lnger taught her favrite nvel, and she said that she stpped teaching a
bk when she fund she was n lnger curius abut it. The humanistic spirit is, fundamentally, an inquisitive
ne.
In cntrast, defenses f the humanities are nt — and cannt be — cnducted in an inquisitive spirit, because
第 5页/共 8页

a defensive spirit is inimical t an inquisitive ne. Defensiveness is, it must be admitted, an understandable
respnse when the chpping blck is brught ut and yu need t explain why yu shuldn’t be n it, which
requires their participants t pretend t knw things that they d nt actually knw.
Nnetheless, we shuld be alert t the danger f becming accustmed t putting ur wrst ft frward. An
atmsphere f urgency and calls fr immediate actin are hstile t fields f study like literature and philsphy
that require a reflective md, and the pretense (假装) f knwing what ne desn’t actually knw is hstile t
frms f inquiry that demand an pen mind.
A defensive mindset als encurages pliticizatin. If the study f literature r philsphy helps t fight
sexism r t prmte demcracy—and everyne agrees that sexism is bad, and demcracy is gd — then yu
have yur answer as t why we shuldn’t cut funding fr the study f literature r philsphy. Pliticizatin is a
way f arming the humanities fr its plitical battles, but it cmes at an intellectual cst. Why is sexism s bad?
Why is demcracy s gd? Pliticizatin silences these and ther questins, whereas the functin f the
humanities is t raise them.
Humanists are nt alne in their ignrance abut the purpse f their disciplines. But scientists are under a
lt less pressure t explain why they exist because the sciety at large believes itself t already have the answer t
that questin. If at sme pint I am called n t defend the study f Hmer r Descartes at sme fficial hearing, I
will d my best, but I will nt run t battle; the battle will have t cme t me.
The task f humanists is t invite, t welcme, t excite, t engage. And when we let urselves be urselves,
when we allw the humanistic spirit that animates us t flw ut nt nly int ur classrms but als in ur
public-self presentatin, we find we dn’t need t defend r prve anything: We are irresistible.
31. What is the authr’s main cncern regarding the crisis in humanities?
A. The pressure n humanists t argue fr the value f their disciplines.
B. The munting plitical scrutiny faced by humanities departments.
C. Peple’s little knwledge regarding the purpse f humanities.
D. Students’ lack f interest in studying humanities curses.
32. What des the wrd “inimical” underlined in Paragraph 3 mst prbably mean?
A. immune.
B. relevant.
C. sensitive.
D. cntrary.
33. What can be inferred abut a defensive mindset?
A. It brings abut a lwer chance f survival fr humanities.
B. It requires a reflective md n the study f humanities.
C. It leads t a cmprmise n human’s intellectual depth.
D. It is the wrst actin t take in the face f the crisis.
34. Which f the fllwing might the authr mst prbably agree?
A. The battle f humanities is a hard ne t fight.
B. The future f humanities remains cludy.
C. Science is mre useful than humanities.
D. Humanities may nt need any defense.

“Is the glass half empty r half full?” This ld English saying has lng been used t differentiate a pessimist
frm an ptimist. Fr mst yung peple tday, the answer is usually “half full”, because we have been taught that
a psitive attitude twards life is ne f the primary keys t success. ____35____ Recent studies indicate that it all
depends.
There is such a thing as t much psitivity, als knwn as txic psitivity. It happens when smene
remains in a happy and psitive state and ignres any bad and negative emtins acrss all situatins. ____36____
The death f a pet, a lw scre n a test, r a muntain f new hmewrk shuld lead t emtins such as sadness,
frustratin and anger. If we hide these emtins just because we want t lk ptimistic in frnt f ur friends and
family, they can build up inside f us and end up erupting in unexpected ways. ____37____
____38____ Imagine having had a bad day, and wanting t talk abut it with yur friend. Hwever, instead
f listening t yur prblems and sympathizing with yu, they simply tld yu t “be psitive” and t “lk n
the bright side.” By saying such things, they give yu the impressin that yur prblems are being cmpletely
ignred. Mrever, since yu dn’t have the right “attitude,” yur prblems are ultimately yur wn fault.
That being said, nbdy likes t be arund depressed peple. Just take everything as it cmes and express
hw yu really feel. ____39____. Given everything I have already said, my simple advice t yu is t d that
which gives yu the best “attitude” in life, whatever fr yu that might be. Regardless f whether a glass is half-
empty r half-full, it nnetheless still has space t fill.
A. Hwever, is being negative necessarily a bad thing?
B. This makes yu human, and yur true friends will always stick by yu.
C. But actually, it is nrmal fr us t experience a range f emtins in a day.
D. And this is why I wuld want t write abut staying psitive in these difficult times.
E. Evidence suggests that verly psitive peple are at a higher risk f develping psychlgical prblems.
F. Aside frm the persnal emtinal impacts f txic psitivity, this attitude can als have a negative effect n the
peple arund yu.
G. But with everything that has been ging n bth at hme and abrad, it’s prbably felt t yu like a cntinuus
struggle t remain psitive.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。
If yu’ve ever knwn a yung child, yu’ve likely been there: it’s clear smething is making them unhappy,
but when asked if they’re feeling sad, afraid r angry, they either aren’t sure hw t answer r give yu an answer
that is nt quite accurate.
As we grw, we get better at identifying ur feelings. This ability t explain exactly hw we’re feeling, using
wrds mre specific than the usual “happy” r “sad”, is called Emtinal granularity. The wrds themselves are
critical: assigning very specific labels t yur emtins means yu’re identifying them clearly.
A lw level f emtinal granularity means using the same handful f wrds, again and again, t identify and
talk abut feelings. Fr example, yu might stick t wrds like “angry,” “sad” r “afraid” t describe negative
第 7页/共 8页

emtins and wrds like “excited” r “happy” fr the psitive nes. A lesser ability t differentiate between
negative emtins has been bserved in peple suffering frm depressin r anxiety.
A high level f emtinal granularity, n the cntrary, is smething we all want t pursue. We’re faced with
frustrating situatins every day, and things rarely g exactly t plan. High emtinal granularity leaves us less
verwhelmed in challenging r stressful situatins—because when identifying specifically hw we’re feeling, we
can respnd t that emtin specifically and even reframe it t better serve us. Fr example, if we can recgnize
ur annyance with a teammate as a feeling f disappintment, then we may successfully channel it int a better
understanding f hw t wrk with that persn in the future.
Often, in times f crisis, we are s fcused n figuring ut hw t get things dne that we frget t check in
with ur emtins. Yet emtins impact ur ability t perceive what’s happening and make imprtant decisins.
S dn’t frget t pay special attentin t the specific emtins yu’re experiencing when navigating thrugh
challenges.
