“Migrant Mother” is one of a series of photo-graphs that Dorothea Lange made of Florence Owens Thompson and her children in Nipomo camp,California in 1936. Lange was finishing a month's trip photographing migrant agricultural workers around the state-
I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother,as if drawn by a magnet (磁鐵).I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her. 37 I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age,that she was thirty-two. 38 She had just sold some parts from her car to buy food. There she sat with her children huddled (依偎) around her,and seemed to know that my pictures might help her,and so she helped me.
39 It made the government deliver food aid to the Nipomo camp,where several thousand people were hungry and living in terrible conditions. However,by that point Owens and her family had moved on.
Lange's photo became an image of the Great Depression(大蕭條) ,but the migrant mother's identity remained a mystery to the public for many years because Lange hadn’t asked her name. 40Owens died at the age of 80 in 1983. In 19987a pnnt of the image,signed by Lange,sold for $244 500 at auction(拍賣) .
A. Not every picture tells the whole story.
B. The photo taken that day got a chance for him.
C. But I do remember she asked me no questions.
D. The image of Owens was soon published in newspapers.
E. In 1960,Lange gave the following account of the experience.
F. In the late 1970s,a reporter tracked down Owens at her California home.
G. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields.
話題:文學(xué)與藝術(shù)
本文是記敘文。文章主要講述了一張影響歷史的照片《移民母親》背后的故事。
36. E. 第二段的內(nèi)容即E項(xiàng)中的the following account of the experience。
37. C. 上文中的 I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her 與 C 項(xiàng)豐的 But I do remember she asked me no questions之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。
38. G. 由下一句 She had just sold some parts from her car to buy food 可知,此處應(yīng)與 食物有關(guān),正好與G項(xiàng)中的living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields相關(guān)。
39. D. 本空后面政府采取的措施與D項(xiàng)中的 was soon published in newspapers 有關(guān),政府采取救助措施是照片登報(bào)的結(jié)果。
40. F. 由上文中的 the migrant mother's identity remained a mystery to the public 可知,移民母親的身份一直都是一個(gè)迷,而F項(xiàng)中的a reporter tracked down Owens at her California home 正好說(shuō)明移民母親的身份是如何被知曉的。

All parents and schoolteachers know that being able to spell properly is a fundamental skill that young people must develop before they enter the classroom. But,as every parent and teacher also knows,learning spelling can be difficult for children in the early stages. The problem with English spelling is that the letters do not correspond to (與……相對(duì)應(yīng)) speech sounds.
Good spelling skills are an important part of being able to read and write to a reasonable standard,Reading,writing and spelling are important in the first place because they all help to develop an effective level of literacy (識(shí)字).Without this,school coursework would not be completed satisfactorily and end-of-year exams would be failed. Getting good grades in exams,especially towards the end of a person's school life is extremely important if they are looking to go on to college or university before entering the employment market.
Learning to spell is important because being able to spell correctly adds so much to your skills and abilities,especially when it comes to finding a college or university place,or entering the job market for the first time. Writing a
decent CV(簡(jiǎn)歷) and completing the application correctly is vital in the effort to make a good impression. It was reported recently that employers rejected the vast majority of 1 ,000 job applications submitted by graduates simply because of bad spelling.Could our use of technology be the reason for bad spelling? Although not proven,there have been concerns in recent years that the rise of text messaging and “chatspeak” used in social media could be leading to a reduction in literacy,as abbreviations(縮寫) become commonly used by children. Opinions differ on this possibility. Some research suggests that this may not necessarily be true,but other studies have shown that in some cases it is a cause for concern.
But the end of school education may be too late. Obviously,the main time for learning is during childhood when most people can achieve a reasonable level of spelling to help their overall literacy. But it is perhaps surprising that many adults have extremely poor spelling and struggle with common words such as embarrass,occasion and restaurant.
6. Children’s difficulty in learning spelling lies in the fact that.
A. they don't know how to read
B. the rules are difficult to master
C. many words are long and complex
D. the letters don't match speech sounds
7. Students looking to enter college need to .
A. work hard to get good grades
B. have job application experiences
C. reach a high standard of speaking
D. submit a correctly-spelled application
8. The underlined word “decent” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by.
A. quick B. good-quality
C. recent D. well-meaning
9. We may conclude from Paragraph 4 that .
A. the use of text messaging leads to good spelling
B. “chatspeak” helps children develop their literacy
C. the use of technology has caused increasing concern
D. common use of abbreviations shows children's literacy level
10. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Why is learning to spell important?
B. Why do many children have poor spelling?
C. When should children start to learn spelling?
D. How should children develop their spelling skills?

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D) 中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
It was on one beautiful morning in the year 1966 when a charming and attractive man visited a Greek restaurant in London with his friends. It was like any other hangout time for him. But little did he know that his life was soon going to change.
Sonia Maino,who was working at the same restaurant as a part-time waitress for her pocket money,soon saw him and felt an instant connection with the young and good-looking man. It was love at first sight for both. Sonia came from an ordinary background in Italy,and was studying at Cambridge at that time.
After spending a long time on courtship(戀愛(ài)期) ,Sonia discovered that the guy of her dreams was none other than Rajiv Gandhi,son of the first political family of India. The two tied the knot in Delhi in 1968. Who would have ever thought that this love at first sight would land an ordinary girl from Italy into the Forbes list of most powerful people in the world?
An Italian girl was not of course what India's first family,the Nehru-Gandhi family,was looking for.Rajiv's mother,Indira Gandhi was initially unsatisfied with the marriage. But as time passed,Indira and Sonia developed an inseparable bond.
Rajiv desired to stay away from the glare of politics and so did Sonia. Rajiv became a pilot for Indian Airlines and the couple lived a peaceful life. But destiny(命運(yùn)) had something else in store for them. Rajiv1's mother and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated in 1984. Her death forced Rajiv to take over his mother's place and join politics. Rajiv ruled as Prime Minister till 1989. He was assassinated in a bomb attack in 1991.
After Rajiv's ill-timed death,Sonia was so desperate that she decided to stay away from politics. But probably it was Rajiv's love that gave her the strength to gather herself and take over (國(guó)大黨) ,which was in a worsening condition. She led the party to victory in the 2004 and 2009 elections but refused to become Prime Minister,when the opposite party raised the question of her Italian origin.
Their love story is one which will be remembered by generations to come.

4. Sonia's efforts to lead the Congress Party can be described as .
A. violent B. fruitless
C. successful D. experimental
