There was once a guy who suffered from cancer, a cancer that can’t be cured. One day he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out. He passed a CD store and looked through the front door for a second. He saw a beautiful girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her. He walked closer and closer until he was finally at the front desk where she sat.

She looked up and asked, “Can I help you?” She smiled and he thought it was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen before. He said, “UH…Yeah…Umm… I would like to buy a CD.” He picked one out and gave her money for it. “Would you like me to pack it for you?” she asked, smiling her cute smile again. He nodded and she went to the back. She came back with the packed CD and gave it to him.

From then on, he went to that store every day and bought a CD. He took the CD home and put it in his closet. He was still too shy to ask her out. His mother found out about this and encouraged him. So the next day, he took all his courage and left his phone number on the desk before he ran out.

Several weeks later the phone rang, and the mother picked it up. It was the girl!!! The mother started to cry and said, “You don’t know? He passed away yesterday…” Later that day, the mother went into the boy’s room and opened the closet. Inside were piles and piles of unopened CDs. She picked one up and opened it. Out fell a piece of paper, saying: “Do you want to go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.” The mother was deeply moved and opened another CD… Again, there was a piece of paper with the same words.

1.Why did the girl offer to pick the CD for the boy every time?

A. Because it was required by the boy.

B. Because the shop owner told her to do so.

科目：高中英語 來源：2017屆江蘇南通中學(xué)高三上期中考試英語卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

For many years, scholars have regarded My Mortal Enemy as somewhat of an enigma. Written in only a few months during the early spring of 1925 and published in 1926, Willa Cather’s shortest novel was sandwiched in between The Professor’s House (1925) and Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927). While the subject matter of these latter two works can be traced to Cather’s experience in the desert Southwest, My Mortal Enemy seemingly has nothing to do with these subjects or her Nebraska roots; it appears to have come out of nowhere, puzzling those who have tried to fit this rather irregular work into a logical progression of Cather’s artistic development. The question of what caused Cather to write such a novel at this point in her career, for example, has still not been answered definitively. One commonly held hypothesis (假說) was first voiced by Marcus Klein, who in his 1961 introduction to the novel wrote that for Cather, “The story of Myra Henshawe must have been a personal crisis”. Klein, though, acknowledged that he could not prove his theory, “because there is available no record other than the novel”. Emmy Stark Zitter has recently argued that in My Mortal Enemy and Sapphira and the Slave Girl (1940) Cather exercises the autobiographical impulse (沖擊) by putting details of her own life into her fiction, but, like Klein, she is unable to name which “details” of her life Cather drew on in writing My Mortal Enemy.

As hinted (暗示) in the above statements by Klein and Zitter, much of the general uncertainty about the meaning of My Mortal Enemy can be traced to the absence of a persuasive theory as to who the real-life models for the novel’s characters were and what Cather’s relationship to them was. Cather herself wrote in a 1940 letter that, in James Woodress’s paraphrase, “she had known Myra’s real-life model very well, and the portrait drawn in the story was much as she remembered her”; Cather also added that the woman had died fifteen years before My Mortal Enemy was published, and that many relatives of this model later wrote to her to say that they recognized the “real” Myra from her description in the novel. Given such hints and Cather’s liking for drawing on her experiences in Nebraska for characters, settings, and plots, it is quite understandable that scholars have thus looked to Red Cloud and Lincoln for possible sources of the people and events depicted in My Mortal Enemy.

In light of the evidence presented in this article, though, I believe that Cather intended her comments about the model for Myra Henshawe to serve as red herrings (轉(zhuǎn)移注意力的言語) that would protect her relationship with the couple who were the prototypes (原型) for the Henshawes, both of whom were still alive in 1925. Mark Madigan has recently confirmed how Cather in 1905 had to hold off publishing “The Profile (傳略)” because of fears that the main character might recognize herself and commit suicide, and twenty years later Cather would have been well aware of how her description of the Henshawes might have affected both the real-life wife (who died in 1929) and husband (who died in 1949) if they had recognized themselves. It is my argument that the Henshawes were modeled after people Cather knew not in Nebraska but rather in New York: S. S. and Hattie McClure. Myra’s uncle, John Driscoll, was modeled after Hattie’s father, Professor Albert Hurd.

Possibly most important, identifying the Henshawes as the McClures allows us to more conclusively identify Cather herself with Nellie Birdseye. Nellie and Cather, both Midwestern onlookers and recorders, experienced four distinct stages in their relationships with the Henshawes and the McClures (especially with S. S.) My Mortal Enemy, I believe, was an extended attempt by Cather to deal with certain aspects of her own past and to move on in a world stripped of romantic illusion.

【小題１】The underlined word “enigma” in Paragraph 1 means “________”.

A. adaptationB. abstractC. best-sellerD. mystery

【小題２】Cather didn’t have My Mortal Enemy published immediately ________.

A. so as not to annoy the relatives of the prototype for Myra

B. for fear that the prototype for Myra should be badly hurt

C. because she meant to polish it by adding some new material

D. because she was forbidden to do so by the real-life couple

【小題３】We can infer from the passage that ________.

A. Myra Henshawe is particularly true to her prototype

B. Cather had a good relationship with the real-life model

C. the writer considers My Mortal Enemy as a great work

D. scholars will put an end to their argument about the novel

【小題４】In the passage, the writer ________.

A. restored the truth behind Myra

B. presented his own hypothesis

C. made a revision to Zitter’s idea

D. renewed part of Klein’s fiction

【小題５】The proper title for the passage is ______.

A. uncovering Cather’s personal secret

B. unlocking the scholars’ imagination

C. unfolding the plot of My Mortal Enemy

D. unmasking Cather’s “mortal enemy”

How to Pick a Great Book to Read

The world is full of great books, just waiting to be read. How can you pick one you'll really like? Here are some tips:

● What makes you happy?

1. Are you really into dinosaurs or dogs or a specific person? Are there a few careers you're interested in? You can find books about almost anything you like, and you're more likely to enjoy reading a book if you're already interested in its subject.

● Fact or fiction?

Some books are entirely made up and imagined. Those are called fiction books. Novels, short stories are all examples of fiction. These books can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience.

Non-fiction books give you the who, what, when and why. 2. Non-fiction books can bring everything to life from the first trip to the moon to what it's like to explore the deepest oceans. Try both fiction and non-fiction books to see which you like better.

●Find a family favorite.

What was your mother's favorite book when she was your age? Or your dad's? 3. Then you can talk about what they liked about it and share your thoughts. It's a fun way to get to know your family a little better, and to find a book you'll enjoy!

● Ask an expert.

4. Tell a librarian about your interests—rock stars, sports teams, historical events, whatever you're into—and the names of some books you already like. Your librarian can help you find other books that you're sure to love.

● Launch a book swap.

5. It's always fun to see what your friends are reading. Even if they're not exactly bookworms, you can all encourage each other to read and share books and authors you like. You also can look for book swaps in your area. It's a great way to build your personal library for free!

A. Ask them and give it a read.

B. Many of them read novels from start to finish.

C. Why not get some friends together and trade favorite books?

D. If you have a favorite hobby, look for books about that activity.

E. They tell stories using facts—but that doesn't mean they're boring.

F. Read the passage and decide for yourself whether it seems knowledgeable.

G. Your local library is a great place to find books that you'll love, and you don't have to search all by yourself.
