At a time before the Internet, our only lifeline to friends and family was the mail we sent and received. One evening the mail soldier called my name and, instead of a letter, handed me a large box from my grandmother back in Oklahoma. One of the great hardships of the war for me was the absence of my grandmothers cooking-her fried chicken and onion, corn bread, and, most of all, her desserts. But on that evening I was about to take a gastronomic(美食的) journey home: I opened the box to find two dozen my grandmothers pies.A man from New York approached and asked me what I had received. I couldnt answer: my mouth was full of pie. So I just offered him one. “So nice!”he said. “What are they?” He had to wait a few moments for an answer, but eventually I explained. As insurance, I offered him another pie to keep quiet. Once a day for the next three weeks, I imagined returning home to my grandmothers kitchen, if only for a few sweet bites at a time. Some of my earliest memories are associated with my grandmothers pies. She had been baking pies since before the Great Depression. She would have astonished the judges on todays TV cooking challenges. I remember coming across a persimmon(柿子) tree once while out hiking. It was autumn, and the fruit was soft and sweet. I picked a few dozen and brought them to Grandma. Guess what! The next day I walked into her kitchen to find a persimmon pie waiting for me.25. What can we infer about the US soldiers? A.

To explain Grandmas pie-making history.C "My neighbor doesn't speak English, but her kindness needs no translation." Angie Morris, an 81-year-old Canadian woman who grew up in wartime Britain and now lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, was describing how her next-door neighbor, Ms Wing, a 68-year-old Chinese woman, voluntarily cooks meals for her every day. She called it "the ultimate home-delivery service".Morris' moving, first-person narrative which was published last week by the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail, has gone viral, with more than 24,000 online reports. "I know what is inside the paper carrier bag," she wrote. "A thermos with hot soup and a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp, sometimes with a kind of pancake. This has become an almost daily occurrence." Wing started her act of kindness when she learned that Morris had to undergo heart surgery. She took it upon herself to begin feeding her neighbor, even though the two women have no way of communicating verbally. Wing speaks only Mandarin, and Morris' Mandarin is limited to ni hao (hello). "So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak the other's language, but communicating one way or another (with some help from technology). The doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar brown paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing," Morris wrote. Readers and netizens around the world have been touched by this relationship that crosses national boundaries and focuses on human kindness."You know that most people in this world just want to live a good life," one reader commented. "I come from old Ireland, so I can tell you a thing or two about conflict. The point is, most people are very good with big hearts and want their children to grow up safe and in places like this country can offer."28. Why did Ms. Wing cook meals for Morris?A.

Nutritious Meals.D Piagets theory of cognitive(认知的)development is a theory about the nature and development of human intelligence. It was first created by the Swiss developmental psychologist Jean Piaget (1860-1980). The theory deals with the nature of knowledge itself and how humans gradually come to acquire, construct, and use _it_. Piagets theory is mainly known as a developmental stage theory. To Piaget, cognitive development was a progressive reorganization of mental processes resulting from biological maturation and environmental experience. He believed that children construct an understanding of the world around them, experience differences between what they already know and what they discover in their environment, and then adjust their ideas accordingly. Besides, Piaget claimed that cognitive development is at the center of the human organism, and language is depending on knowledge and understanding acquired through cognitive development. Piagets earlier work received the greatest attention. Child-centered classrooms and “open education” are direct applications of Piagets views. Despite its huge success, Piagets theory is not perfect and Piaget has recognized it himself: for example, the theory supports sharp stages rather than continuous development. Piaget noted that reality is a dynamic system of continuous change. Reality is defined(给下定义)in reference to the two conditions that define dynamic systems. Specifically, he argued that reality involves transformations and states. Transformations refer to all manner of changes that a thing or person can experience. States refer to the conditions or the appearances in which things or persons can be found between transformations. For example, there might be changes in shape or form, in size, or in placement or location in space and time. Thus, Piaget argued, if human intelligence is to be adaptive, it must have functions to represent both the transformational and the static aspects of reality.32. What does the underlined “it” in the first paragraph refer to? A. The theory. B. Cognitive development. C. The knowledge itself. D. The development of human intelligence.33. Piagets theory of cognitive development . A. has some limitations B. applied “open education” C. wasnt well received in the beginning D. is about human nature and development34. What are the two conditions of reality? A. Space and time. B. Transformations and states. C. Changes in shape and form. D. The conditions and the appearance.35. Which can serve as the best title for this text? A. Piagets contribution to a theory B. The applications of Piagets theory C. The development of Piagets theory D.

Many of Dickens works still sell well today. _36_ As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. _37_ One day nearly 10 years ago, however, when I was giving a lecture, I was telling the students that for Victorian readers, Dickens writing was a “tune-in-next-week” type of thing that generated crazes. _38_ “But why should we still read this stuff?” the student asked. The answer I gave was only acceptable, “Because he teaches you how to think,” I said.The question annoyed me for years, for years, and for years I told myself answers, but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because we can learn from experiences of his characters almost as easily as we can learn from our own experiences. _39_ But these are not exactly the reason why I read Dickens. My search for an answer continued until one day a text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickens novels,” she wrote, “because they tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, thats the explanation I had sought for years.Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and worst of times._40_If you have time, go to pick up one of his many novels, readit andenjoy what it has to tell you about yourself.A. Then a hand shot up.B. And they are placed on outstanding shelves.C. I know that wasnt really the reason.D. I already know who it is Ill meet in those novels.E. Thats why we still need to read him today.F. That question was never more troubling.G. These
