| 第1题：Sometimes an object in nature is so rare that it escapes mention in nature books. Such is the case with the delightful Kirtland’s warbler. The Kirtland’s warbler is a plump, yellow-breasted bird that can be found nesting almost exclusively in the upper half of Michigan’s Lower Peninsul A、Although this bird does migrate to theBahamas during the winter months, Michigan is its natural habitat. Unfortunately, reduced numbers have caused the Kirtland’s warbler to be designated an endangered species. The remaining Kirtland’s warblers now enjoy living among the jack pine trees located in protected Michigan forests. The male warblers generally return north before the female birds. Often, they return as early as May. When they arrive, the male warblers stake out their territories and choose a nesting are A、At the completion of their own long journey from theBahamas, the female warblers begin to collect leaves and grass to build their nests. Oddly, the Kirtland’s warbler nests on the ground and not in the nearby jack pine trees themselves.During the nesting process, the male warbler provides food for his mate while the female Kirtland’s warbler lays four to five speckled eggs. The eggs hatch in two to three weeks and both the male and female warblers tend to their chicks. The passage implies that the author is A、disinterested in the fate of Kirtland’s warbler B、a proponent of Kirtland’s warbler C、a native of Michigan who travels to theBahamas D、reluctant to discuss the migratory patterns of Kirtland’s warbler E、annoyed that Kirtland’s warbler is not mentioned in nature books |

| 第2题：Feminist critics’’have often pondered whether a postmodern language may be articulated that obviates the essentialist arrogance of much modernist and some feminist discourse and does not reduce feminism to silences or a purely negative and reactionary stance. This ideal may be actualized in a discourse that recognizes itself as historically situated, ’’ as motivated by values and, thus, political interests, and as a human practice without transcendent justification. The authorDorothyAllison meets these criteria by focusing on women who have been marginalized by totalizing forces and ideas, while simultaneously reminding the reader, through the wide range of women that she portrays and their culpability in her protagonists’’ predicaments, that unlike pure and transcendent heroes, women are real characters and morally complex.Allison insists that humans are burdened with the responsibility of fashioning their own stories, quotidian as they may be, and .while these will never offer the solace of transcendent justification, the constant negotiation between the word and the world avoids reticence on the one hand and the purely negative on the other.
