A librarian, she read to her three children every day. “Until we went to college,” Williams told , a local news site.When Williams, now 54, became an elementary school teacher in Danvill
11、e, Virginia, she wanted her students to fall in love with reading just as she had. But early on, she realized that some kids had limited access to books.“Its very obvious to teachers of young children which kids are read to and which are not,” she said. “Its obvious at the end of the first day of sc
12、hool.” To Williams, the solution was simple: Give kids books. In 2017, as part of a city event called Engage Danville, she gave away 900 used childrens books over three days. Most people would be satisfied with that. Most.“I was like, Anybody could do that,” she said. “I wanted to do something thats
13、 going to stretch my faith, my work principle, my everything.”So she raised the number considerably by setting a new goal for herself: Give away one million books. It sounds like an unreachable number, but as Williams posted on Facebook: Dont complain in the bleachers (露天看台) if you arent willing to
14、work hard out on the field.”So she got to work, first by roping in friends to donate books or money to buy books. Before long, as news of Williams project spread, strangers started leaving collections of books on her doorway. As quickly as the books come in, Williams gives them to local schoolsonly
15、922,000 more to reach her goal! And shes not slowing down. Its too important for kids with few options.“Reading can take you anywhere,” she told CNN. “You can travel in time and space.

Independent and confident.BAre there any controversial blood sports in your country? In the UK, theres fox hunting. Officially, its illegal but its st
18、ill going on.The goal of most fox hunts is simple: to track, catch up and, sometimes, kill a fox. A hunt begins when the hounds (猎犬) are “cast”. This is when the dogs are released and start searching in bushes for foxes. When the hounds pick up the smell, they track the fox. If they see it, the chas
19、e (追赶) is on and the dogs run after it. The hunt continues until either the fox escapes or is caught and then usually killed by the hounds.Many people are against fox hunting. Animal rights activists argue that foxes suffer a cruel (残忍的) and violent death. They also say that fox hunting is an activi
20、ty in which people seem to gain pleasure from cruelty. Others dislike it for being a mostly upper-class sport. Among them was Oscar Wilde, who once described it in 1893 as, “the unspeakable in full chase of the uneatable”.Supporters of fox hunting say its a tradition thats part of Englands cultural
21、heritage. They also say it plays an important role in country life, and that many jobs depend on fox hunting. Finally, they point out that its an important form of pest control that protects the livelihood of farmers, and that the foxes are killed quickly and that its much less cruel than using trap
22、s or poisons.But in 2005 everything changed. The Hunting Act came into force and this effectively banned fox hunting. But it wasnt easy passing the law. Thousands of people gathered outside the House of Parliament in protest. Now, it is officially illegal, but hunts still take place and more than 18

25、out fox hunting.B. The difficulty in carrying out the ban on fox hunting.C. The change of peoples attitudes towards fox hunting.D. The importance of keeping the tradition of fox hunting.CSome words copy the sounds made by the things they describe, like “buzz” or “hiss”or “zip”. But what if the way a
26、 word sounds could suggest some other feature of an object like its shape?A new study suggests not only that it can but that the same word can do so across many languages. Marcus Perlman,a lecturer at the University of Birmingham, says that, a century ago，linguists(语言学家)insisted the words used to re
27、fer to various objects and actions are arbitrary(随意的) and that words dont necessarily look or sound like the things they refer to. That makes sense because different languages have different words for the same thing. One persons pup is another ones perro. But theres a lot of evidence now suggesting
28、it is false.To further explore this connection between words and their meanings, Perlman and his colleagues turned to something called the bouba/kiki effect. With the help of 22 volunteers, the researchers tested it in 25 different languages. Participants were told to look at two shapes-one looks li
29、ke a cloud which is somewhat round, and the other one is more pointy, maybe looks more like a star-and then listen to the sound: either “bouba” or “kiki”,both of which are totally made up. Then they were asked,“Which one is bouba and which one is kiki?” Most participants said the rounder shape was b
30、ouba and the pointy one was kiki. This suggests there is some widely observed connection between the spoken words and the visual features of the shapes.As to what that could mean about the evolution(演变)of language：imagine our ancestors when they started using spoken words to refer to things. “They c
31、ouldnt say Listen, my friend, now were gonna call this new object a table.” So to get the conversation off the ground, they probably tried to come up with sounds that somehow suggested the object at hand.7 What does the author mean by saying “One persons pup is another ones perro”?A. People have per
32、sonal preferences for the words they use.B. A word can mean the same thing across many languages.C. Different languages have different words for the same thing.D. The sound of a word reminds people of the shape of an object.8. How did Perlman study the connection between words and their meanings?A.
33、By making up new words.B. By interviewing language learners.C. By conducting an experiment.D. By comparing different languages.9. What do we know about the bouba/kiki effect?A. It helps people understand language evolution.B. It is a language research method created a century ago.C. It makes little
34、sense when it comes to written language.D. It shows the differences between round and pointy objects.10. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. What Is the Shape of a Word?B. How Does Language Develop?C. Nonsense Words Connected to ShapesD. Language Features Little Known to Linguists第二节（共5个小题；

37、a big city to grow his singing career. _13_ “Here in our small town,”they said, “you are a big fish in a small pond. Once you move to New York City, that is going to change. Best be ready!”For some people, this can be a painful realization-sometimes called a wake-up call._14_ They never grow their c
38、ircle of friends or work environment.Sometimes they do not take opportunities that increase their environment or pond. By staying in a small pond,it is safer.There are fewer dangers and also fewer competitors.The Merriam-Webster online dictionary explains another way to use the idiom. It can also de
39、scribe a situation where one person has more power, influence, knowledge,or experience than others within a small group.
