Sometimes we start out with the best intention to think and speak only positive thoughts, but the people around us throw us off course. They cant fully understand the power our thoughts and words have, or 16 they do, they may be stuck in old patterns of negativity. Much of our habitual communication takes the form of 17 and criticizing, and it can be hard to find a way into certain conversations without those old 18. However, we always have the choice not to participate in negativity or to find a way to 19 the situation positively.
Not everyone will 20 to your reminders, and theres no 21 to become overly attached to the idea of changing other people, because people have to choose for themselves how they will be in the world.

Sometimes you may 26 the conversation with a positive statement, and sometimes you may simply change the 27.

Farms are spreading to unused city lots and old properties across the United States.
Eco City Farms is an educational nonprofit organization. It seeks to empower the community by teaching economic development, job training and a healthier way of living. The group has set up farms near automobile repair businesses and fast food stores in urban neighborhoods.
Social activist Margaret MorganHubbard founded Eco City Farms. She says the lack of fresh produce is a major health problem for children and their families who live in nearby Bladensburg, Maryland. “Whats critical is that 70 percent of the people in these towns are either overweight, obese, have diabetes or other kinds of dietrelated ailments because they dont have access to healthy food.”
Eco City Farms offer several programs, including educational activists on agriculture, food, and finding jobs with environmentallyfriendly businesses. People can also learn how to cook healthier foods and teach others how to prepare meals. On a recent day, Philip Sidibe demonstrated his cooking skills. He prepared Aloco, a popular food in Cameroon where he grew up. He and other young people not only cook their food, they also grow it in a large garden.
Tameka BarbourGaskins lives in Autumn Woods. She says her whole family is eating healthier meals because of the local produce. “I like junk food. I like quick meals. Not easy to just go from eating a certain way all your life to switching over to being healthier... With the garden here, with my son learning, he can help me switch around my style of eating. I want a healthy family.” The numbers and charts shown in Morettis analyses make you see literature differently—as something vast, social, and impersonal that is perhaps best approached in a statistical way. The grandeur (壮观) of an expanded scale gives Morettis work aesthetic (审美) power. (It plays a larger role in his appeal, I suspect, than most Morettians would like to admit.) Whats the point of continuing to interpret individual books—especially books that have already been interpreted over and over? Interpreters, Moretti writes, “have already said what they had to.” Better to focus on “the laws of literary history”—on explanation, rather than interpretation.
All this sounds selfserious. It isnt. For all his technofuturism, Moretti can seem oldfashioned in his eagerness to uncover hidden patterns and structures within culture. In some ways, the books receiving an award reflects the role that Moretti has played in securing a permanent seat at the table for a new critical paradigm—something that happens only rarely.
Even so, my guess is that, while many critics will admire Moretti, relatively few will follow him. The technical skills are learnable; English majors can take computerscience courses. But the sacrifices, intellectually and, as it were, artistically, are too great. In ordianry giveandtake between the general and the particular. Your circle back from theory to text; you whole point. By the end of his journey, Moretti may be able to see all of literature, but hell see it as an astronaut on Mars might see the Earth: from afar, with no way home.
45. According to the first paragraph, the author thinks the question “Should literary criticism be an art or a science?” seems .
A. worth thinking about
B. ridiculous
C. difficult to answer
D. theoretical
46. Which of the following does Franco Moretti most probably agree with?
A. Critics should not only appreciate literature but also analyze the texts with critical theories.
B. A critic must use computer software to analyze the text he / she is reading.
C. Critics should be able to conclude the general rules of literature by comparison.
D. A critic should have an understanding of the general rules of literature.
47. What is the attitude of Standford towards Morettis idea?
A. Supportive.B. Objective.
C. Unconcerned.D. Critical.
48. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 is meant to indicate that .
A. Moretti has found many new facts about literary history B. many critics have to reflect on their work
C. many critics are uninterestd in Morettis findings
D. Morettis findings are of little value
49. We can learn from the last three paragraphs that the author .
A. suggests that people focus on explanation
B. thinks data and charts made by Moretti seem impressive
C. considers Morettis idea is oldfashioned
D. concludes many critics follow Moretti just out of respect
50. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. A long way to go for understanding literature
B. Which do you like, an art or a science?
C. An attempt to discover the laws of literature
D. Does Technofuturism work?
四、任务型阅读(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
Empty nest syndrome (空巢综合征) is a feeling of grief and loneliness parents may experience when their children leave home for the first time, such as to live on their own or to attend a college or university. It is not a clinical condition, however, it can affect the immune system (免疫系统) and result in certain psychological barriers, if left untreated.
All parents are sensitive to empty nest syndrome, and some factors can create a tendency to it. Such factors include an unstable or unsatisfactory marriage, or difficulty accepting change in general. Adults who are also dealing with other stressful life events such as the death of a spouse (配偶) or retirement are also more likely to experience the syndrome.
Symptoms of empty nest syndrome can include depression, a sense of loss of purpose, worry, stress, and anxiety over the childs welfare. Many empty nest parents prefer staying indoors, and end up becoming people of few words. Parents who experience empty nest syndrome often question whether they have prepared adequately for their child to live independently.
Empty nest parents often face new challenges, such as establishing a new kind of relationship with their children, having to find other ways to occupy their free time, reconnecting with each other, and a lack of sympathy from people who believe that parents should be happy when their children leave home.
One of the easiest ways for parents to cure empty nest syndrome is to keep in contact with their children. Technological developments such as cell phones, text messaging, and the Internet all allow for increased communication between parents and their children. Parents going through empty nest syndrome can ease their stress by pursuing their own hobbies and interests in their increased spare time. Experts have advised that overwhelmed (不堪重负的) parents keep a journal, or go back to work if they were fulltime parents.
However, prevention is always better than cure. If one child has moved out and you still have others living at home with you, plan in advance for the day when your nest will be empty of all children. Small changes made over time will mean less of a shock when your last child moves out. You may find, with thought and careful planning, that the occasion of your last child leaving home will offer a little happiness too, as you can then implement your plans for an independent life with your spouse.

To help or not to help is a question we are facing these days. Recently the case of Xiaoming has again aroused a heated discussion.
As the picture shows, Xiaoming has trouble getting back home because the bus he takes breaks down halfway. Therefore he turns to some passersby for help so as to inform his parents. However, it turns out to be a great disappointment that his request is turned down again and again. When asked for help, some people simply regard him as a liar who just wants to cheat them out of their mobile phones while others consider it none of their business and some even pretend to take no notice of what has happened.
Personally speaking, I feel deeply sorry for what has happened to Xiaoming and I do think it is high time we showed our kindness whenever needed. To help or not to help will never be a question, for I firmly believe the more help you offer, the more you will get out of your kindness.
