27、   First introduced in 1927, The Hardy Boys Stories are a series (系列) of books about the stories of brothers Frank and Joe Hardy, teenaged detectives who solve one mystery (神秘) after another. The cover of The Hardy Boys says that the author of the series is Franklin. Over the years, though, many fans of the books have been surprised to find out that Franklin is not a real person. If Franklin never existed, then who wrote The Hardy Boys Stories?

The Hardy Boys are written through a process called ghostwriting (鬼手写作). A ghostwriter writes a book according to a fixed formula (公式). Although ghostwriters are paid for writing the books, their names do not appear on the published books. Ghostwriters can write books for children or adults, the content of which is various.

The idea for The Hardy Boys series was developed by a publisher named Stratemeyer. He noticed the increasing popularity of mysteries among adults, and thought that children would enjoy reading mysteries about younger detectives of their age. He first developed each book with an outline (提纲). Once having completed the outline, he then hired a ghostwriter to turn it into a book of over 200 pages. After finishing a draft (草稿) of a book, he or she would send it back to Stratemeyer, who would make a list of corrections and mail it back to the ghostwriter. The ghostwriter would improve the book according to Stratemeyer’s suggestions and then return it to him. Once Stratemeyer approved the book, it was ready to be published.

The Hardy Boys had a number of different ghostwriters producing books. However, the first ghostwriter, Leslie, proved to be the most influential. Although he was using prepared outlines as guides, Leslie developed the characters through his imagination. He was also responsible for the details in the story. For example, Leslie created Bayport, the Hardy Boys’ hometown, based on where he grew up.

Although The Hardy Boys were very popular with children, not everyone approved of them. Critics thought their stories were not real, since most teenagers did not have the same experience as Frank and Joe Hardy. Besides, many teachers and librarians are against the ghostwriting process, saying it was designed to produce books quickly, but not to create quality literature. Some libraries even refuse to include the books in their children’s collections.

【1】Which of the following people was a real ghostwriter?

A.Franklin B.Stratemeyer C.Leslie D.Joe Hardy

【2】A ghostwriter is someone who _______.

A.only writes loving stories for adults B.doesn’t receive praise as the author

C.writes the content of his books freely D.doesn’t receive money for writing

【3】According to the passage, it can be inferred that Leslie _______.

A.hated writing according to a fixed formula B.didn’t respect the art of ghostwriting

C.was unsuccessful in his writing career D.was a man of imagination and creativity

【4】Some teachers and librarians dislike ghostwritten books because they _______.

A.believe the books were poor in quality B.consider mystery stories bad for adults

C.think the books were too expensive D.believe Stratemeyer cheated readers

【5】Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A.Ghostwriting: Create Quality Literature B.Who Was Leslie?

C.The Hardy Boys: Ghostwriting a Series D.Why Were The Hardy Boys Published?

28、When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.

People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else seems ­­blurry. Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted. People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.

Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.

Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distances as people with two eyes.

【1】We should take good care of our eyes .

A. only when we can see well

B. only when we cannot see perfectly

C. even if we can see well

D. only when we realize how important our eyes are

【2】The underlined word blurry in the second paragraph probably means .

A. obvious B. possible  C. clear D. unclear

【3】Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for .

A. seeing at night

B. seeing objects far away

C. looking over a wide area

D. judging distances

【4】People who suffer from astigmatism have .

A. one eye bigger than the other

B. eyes that are not exactly the right shape

C. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operation

D. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses

29、Michelle Obama once said, “You have to go to college. You have to get your degree. Because the one thing people can’t take away from you is your education. And it is worth the investment (投资).” How unfair is it that she is trying to decide people’s future for them? There are many different ways a person can choose to live their life. A common lifestyle that is followed by many people is the lifestyle that leads you to college. Once you make it through high school, college is followed. This is where the college experience is achieved, the schooling is leading you to a so-called bright future, and the living experience is building up the responsibility, so that one day you will be ready to have a family and keep economic independence on your own . But, is this life really the life for everyone? Not all jobs need a college education. People have other plans besides continuing education after high school. Besides, college is just really expensive. Going to college is certainly not for everyone.

Granted, some people would argue that students could apply for scholarships to help pay for college, but this still is only helping pay for parts of the schooling bill. Another argument someone could make is that college will help a person become more responsible. In fact, a person who will start living on their own will cause them to have to make more responsible decisions. Also, becoming responsible is something that is done on its own. It is mostly self taught. There are a ton of more ways to become a responsible adult other than college. Lastly, someone could insist that education gives you a chance of more open future. This is a poor argument considering how many jobs are out there that don’t involve a college education.

In conclusion, college is not meant for all high school graduates.

【1】What’s the purpose of putting Michelle’s words at the beginning?

A．To attract the readers’ attention.

B．To praise his educational views.

C．To enrich deep cultural details.

D．To lead into the author’s opinion.

【2】What’s the author’s opinion on going to college?

A．It’s where everyone prepares for bright future.

B．It’s not necessary for everyone to go to college.

C．It’s the only way you build up the responsibility.

D．It’s an educational experience you should not miss.

【3】How is the responsibility built up in the author’s view?

A．By learning making decisions on one’s own.

B．By grasping the chance of a more open future.

C．By considering which job doesn’t need education.

D．By gaining the living experience in a university.

【4】Which of the following statement is not true according to the passage?

A．Not all people can afford to go to college.

B．A college education isn’t a must for jobs.

C．A college education isn’t the right path for everyone.

D．You become responsible mainly because of your parents’ teachings.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Hundreds of years ago, Charles Darwin predicted that facial expressions of emotion are 【1】. If you’ve ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To Me, you will really understand facial expressions. The leading actor of the show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions, which allows him to point out other people’s studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions which allows him to point out other people’s 【2】 and on many occasions, to be skilled at tricking in order to get the truth.

Is there really much truth behind this science of 【3】 human emotions through expressions? Paul Ekman, a(n) 【4】 psychologist whose work focuses on mapping facial expressions, is Lie To Me’s scientific advisor and the following are some of his explanations.

Hand-to-face gesture indicates a lie.

Each micro-expression is unique to 【5】 specific emotions because the person is often unaware of doing it. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face. The person could be holding back information but you may better consider looking at other more important clues rather than just the simple hand-to-face gesture.

A liar refuses eye contact.

People look away when they are thinking carefully and considering each word before it is spoken, not just when they are 【6】 an excuse. Oblique eyebrows are a very reliable 【7】of sadness and few people can make this 【8】 expression, so it is actually never faked.

Guilty knowledge technique is 【9】.

Lightman often uses the guilty knowledge technique, mentioning something that only the guilty person will know about and show a(n)【10】. This is often used in polygraph exams: “Was the person strangled, shot or stabbed to death?” Only the killer knows and is likely to respond physiologically when the actual weapon is mentioned.
