2、ernally youthful reporter who only was ever known to file one story in all his adventures, is celebrating his 75th birthday this year with a new exhibition at Londons National Maritime Museum. Tintin at Sea is a collection of original drawings by Belgian cartoonist Georges Remimore commonly known as

3、 Herge which was the French-speaking pronunciation of his reversed initial RG and some of the artifacts and models that inspired him. “Herge had a lifelong fascination with the sea and was above all a person who insisted on detail,“ the museums director Roy Clare told reporters at a preview of the e

4、xhibition which opens to the public on Wednesday and runs to September 5. Tintin, with his trademark quiff and plus-four trousers, traveled all over the world on adventures that took him and his white terrier known as Snowy in English and Milou in French from Tibet to America and Iceland to Africa.

5、Books of his adventures have been translated into 60 languages and have sold 200 million copies since the comic strip character first saw the light of day in 1929. Although the stories took Tintin and his irascible companion Captain Haddock as far as the moon, the sea is a recurring theme, in storie

6、s such as The Crab with the Golden Claws, Red Rackhams Treasure and The Secrets of the Unicorn. Herge, who only traveled widely after the success of his creation, was a self-taught artist. He stayed in Belgium through World War Two and was accused and cleared of collaboration immediately afterwards,

7、 although he suffered a period of being an exile as a result. He was also accused of racism in some of Tintins earlier adventures. The reporter only once travelled to Britain, in the story The Black Isle, published in 1938. “Here you have four famous Belgians,“ Joren Vandeweyer, the countrys cultura

8、l attache(大使随员)to Britain, told reporters. “Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock and of course Herge himself, back after 66 years.“（分数：10.00）(1).What can we learn about the exhibition in London?（分数：2.00）A.The exhibition is intended to mark Remis creation of Tintin.B.Tintin at Sea is a new collection that

9、is promoted in the exhibition.C.Remi, the Belgian cartoonist, attends the exhibition with his dog.D.The exhibition, which lasted five months, has just ended.(2).Being a reporter, Tintin can best be described as a(n)_ one.（分数：2.00）A.inexperiencedB.inefficientC.adventurousD.courageous(3).Which of the

11、 sea.(4).What happened to Herge during World War Two?（分数：2.00）A.He was exiled for being accused of treason and racism.B.He worked with other cartoonists on Tintins adventures.C.He was forced to leave Belgian for some time.D.He criticized racism through Tintins adventures.(5).Tintin made his earliest

12、 visit to Britain _.（分数：2.00）A.right after he had earned global fameB.for the first exhibition 66 years agoC.before the first English Tintin storyD.in one of Herges storiesTo say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example oversimplifies. No child imitates e

13、very action he sees. Sometimes, the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other example. Therefore we must turn to a more subtle theory than “Monkey see, monkey do“. Look at it from the childs point of view. Here he is in a new situation, l

14、acking a ready response. He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends. If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do. There is a

15、 second element at work in this situation. The child may be able to attain his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe him. When shouting across the house achieves his immediate end of delivering a message, he is told emphatically that such a racket(叫嚷)is

16、 unpleasant, that he should walk into the next room and say his say quietly. Thus, the desire to solve any objective situation is overlaid with the desire to solve it properly. One of the early things the child learns is that he gets more affection and approval when his parents like his response. Th

17、en other adults award some actions and criticize others. If one is to maintain the support of others and his own self-respect, he must adopt responses his social group approves. In finding trial responses, the learner does not choose models at random. He imitates the person who seems a good person t

18、o be like, rather than a person whose social status he wished to avoid. If the pupil wants to be good violinist, he will observe and try to copy the techniques of capable players; while some other person may most influence his approach to books. Admiration of one quality often leads us to admire a p

19、erson as a whole, and he becomes an identifying figure. We use some people as models over a wide range of situations, imitating much that they do. We learn that they are dependable and rewarding models because imitating them leads to success.（分数：10.00）(1).By the last sentence of the first paragraph,

20、 the author _.（分数：2.00）A.compares childrens behaviors to monkeysB.tells us that children do not learn by imitationC.thinks it is partial to regard imitation as “Monkey see, monkey do“D.means that children should not learn by imitating their parents(2).The first element at work when a child learns by

21、 imitation is _.（分数：2.00）A.the need to find a way to attain the desired goalB.the desire to be acknowledged by his social groupC.the desire to find an expert and authorityD.the need to find a way to avoid criticism(3).According to the third paragraph, besides achieving his goals, a child should also

22、 learn to _.（分数：2.00）A.attain his desired results as soon as possibleB.show his love for his parents and friendsC.talk in a low voiceD.behave properly(4).It can be inferred that children usually imitate people _.（分数：2.00）A.who do not scold themB.who they want to be likeC.who have a high social statu

23、sD.who give them many rewards(5).The last two paragraphs are mainly about _.（分数：2.00）A.how children learn by imitationB.the motive of childrens imitationC.how children choose modelsD.how imitation influence childrens growthIt is hardly necessary for me to cite all the evidence of the depressing stat

24、e of literacy. These figures from the Department of Education are sufficient: 27 million Americans cannot read at all, and a further 35 million read at a level that is less than sufficient to survive in our society. But my own worry today is less that of the overwhelming problem of elemental literac

25、y than it is of the slightly more luxurious problem of the decline in the skill even of the middle-class reader, of his unwillingness to afford those spaces of silence, those luxuries of domesticity and time and concentration, that surround the image of the classic act of reading. It has been sugges

26、ted that almost 80 percent of Americas literate, educated teenagers can no longer read without an accompanying noise(music)in the background or a television screen flickering(闪烁)at the corner of their field of perception. We know very little about the brain and how it deals with simultaneous conflic

27、ting input, but every common-sense intuition suggests we should be profoundly alarmed. This violation of concentration, silence, solitude(独处的状态)goes to the very heart of our notion of literacy; this new form of part-reading, of part-perception against background distraction, renders impossible certa

28、in essential acts of apprehension and concentration, let alone that most important tribute any human being can pay to a poem or a piece of prose he or she really loves, which is to learn it by heart. Not by brain, by heart; the expression is vital. Under these circumstances, the question of what fut

29、ure there is for the arts of reading is a real one. Ahead of us lie technical, psychic(心理的), and social transformations probably much more dramatic than those brought about by Gutenberg, the German inventor in printing. The Gutenberg revolution, as we now know it, took a long time; its effects are s

30、till being debated. The information revolution will touch every fact of composition, publication, distribution, and reading. No one in the book industry can say with any confidence what will happen to the book as weve known it.（分数：10.00）(1).The picture of the reading ability of the American people,

31、drawn by the author, is _.（分数：2.00）A.rather bleakB.fairly brightC.very impressiveD.quite encouraging(2).The authors biggest concern is _.（分数：2.00）A.elementary school childrens disinterest in reading classicsB.the surprisingly low rate of literacy in the U.S.C.the musical setting American readers req

32、uire for readingD.the reading ability and reading behavior of the middle class(3).A major problem with most adolescents who can read is _.（分数：2.00）A.their fondness of music and TV programsB.their ignorance of various forms of art and literatureC.their lack of attentiveness and basic understandingD.t

33、heir inability to focus on conflicting input(4).The author claims that the best way a reader can show admiration for a piece of poetry or prose is _.（分数：2.00）A.to be able to appreciate it and memorize itB.to analyze its essential featuresC.to think it over conscientiouslyD.to make a fair appraisal o

34、f its artistic value(5).About the future of the arts of reading the author feels _.（分数：2.00）A.upsetB.uncertainC.alarmedD.pessimisticOur culture has caused most Americans to assume not only that our language is universal, but that the gestures we use are understood by everyone. We do not realize that

35、 waving good-bye is the way to summon a person from the Philippines to ones side, or that in Italy and some Latin-American countries, curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell. Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War II and marked them GIFT

36、to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that “Gift“ means poison in German. Moreover, we like to think of ourselves as friendly, yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arms length away from others. Latins and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch, which makes Americans uncomf

37、ortable. Our linguistic and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take notice of the developed tastes, gestures, customs and languages of other countries, are losing us friends, business and respect in the world. Even here in the United States, we make few concessions to the needs of f

38、oreign visitors. There are no information signs in four languages on our public buildings or monuments; we do not have multilingual(多语言的)guided tours. Very few restaurant menus have translations, and multilingual waiters, bank clerks and policemen are rare. Our transportation systems have maps in En

39、glish only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding them. When we go abroad, we tend to cluster in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken. The attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by those nativesusually the richerwho speak English. Our business dealings, as well

40、as the nations diplomacy, are conducted through interpreters. For many years, America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance. After all, America was the most powerful country of the free world, the distributor of needed funds and goods. But all that is past. Amer

41、ican dollars no longer buy all good things, and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing. A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play a more significant role in world affairs; we want to have a hand in the important decis

42、ions of the next century, even though it may not always be the upper hand.（分数：10.00）(1).It can be inferred that Americans being approached too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably _.（分数：2.00）A.stand stillB.jump asideC.step forwardD.draw back(2).The author gives many examples to criticize
