The highest compliment anyone could pay anyone else when I was growing up in England in the 1980s was “skill” (as in“man, your new skateboard is so skill”), and nobody was more skill than Diego Armando Maradona. His name 15 as the highest form of praise, on the soccer field and elsewhere (“man, your new skateboard is so Maradona”). Then I saw him score against Italy in the 1986 World Cup, leaping several feet into the air outside the left edge of the six-yard box to tap theball deftly over the outstretched right leg of the Italian captain, past the outstretched arms of the keeper, and into the bottomright-hand corner of the goal. It was evident that Maradona was not merely skillful, but skill 16 .
The next time Maradona scored was June 22, the day Argentina played against England. The two nations had last clashedfour years earlier, not on a soccer field but in the Falklands War. By the time Britain had retaken the islands from Argentina,more than 900 men (most of them Argentines) had lost their lives. The victory saw Margaret Thatcher’s popularity soar inBritain; in contrast, the defeat 17 the downfall of the right-wing military junta that had ruled Argentina since 1976. All that was ancient history four years later. Maradona scored both of Argentina’s goals in a 2-1 victory over England. Thesecond of them, 11 dazzling seconds of superhuman skill, was voted Goal of the Century in 2002. When Maradona executed an exquisite arabesque, stretching his right leg elegantly behind him, I would not have been surprised if he 18 into the air and started flying. He appeared to be moving through a different 19 from the England players, who came to tackle him only once he was already past them. It’s amazing!

In the early years of the 1900’s, many different groups were demanding reform and renewal: black writers, labor organizers, supporters of women’s rights, and muckraking journalists. 24    Modernism, as much of this new work and theory came to be called, was based on the belief that all the existing structures that governed life and art—social, religious, and political—had broken down. Order was replaced by fragments, and the typical modernist work often seems difficult to understand.
Despite modernism’s influence, important work was done in the early 1900’s of a more familiar sort. 25    Robinson’s poems are often set in a fictional New England town called “Tillbury.” 26    “Eros Turannos” (1916), one of his finest poems, portrays a woman’s desperate and self-destructive love for a man she knows will betray her.
Robert Frost was probably the best-known American poet of the 1900’s. 27    At that time, modernists wrote verse which was difficult and obscure. 28    He was born in California, but he lived most of his long life in New England. His poetry is filled with the landscapes, seasons, and people of that region.
(A): The same spirit of protest also touched literature.
(B): Frost wrote poetry that was based on ordinary speech and was accessible to a large audience.
(C): His typical characters are joyless men and women who spend their days contemplating their own failure.
(D): His first volumes, A Boy’s Will (1913) and North of Boston (1914) gained him a popularity that lasted half a century.

Robert Spring, a 19th century forger, was so good at his profession that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he prospered by selling his small but genuine collection of early U.S. autographs. Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To lessen the chance of detection, he sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale and circulation. Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can’t approach a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don’t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals. In Spring’s time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented a respectable maiden lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General “Stonewall” Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny’s financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp-eyed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals.

29. Why did Spring sell faked autographs in England and Canada?
(A): There was a greater demand there than in America.
(B): There was less chance of being detected there.
(C): Britain was Spring’s birthplace.
(D): The prices were higher in England and Canada.

All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp-eyed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals.

Robert Spring, a 19th century forger, was so good at his profession that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he prospered by selling his small but genuine collection of early U.S. autographs. Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To lessen the chance of detection, he sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale and circulation. Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can’t approach a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don’t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals.

Known as Asperger Disorder, Asperger Syndrome (AS) is an autism spectrum disorder that is characterized by difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of interests/behavior. The exact cause of Asperger Syndrome is unknown. Although researches suggest the likelihood of a genetic basis, there is no known genetic cause to be identified with. What we can do is to learn how to help people with Asperger Syndrome interact with the world.
People with Asperger Syndrome generally seem more normal than other autistic people. They learn well, speak normally, and are usually very smart. They may not understand small talk, but may ramble on about a particular interest whether their listeners care or not. How to move can also be a problem for them. They may not use normal eye contact, or they might require more space than other people. They may not seem emotional or affectionate; they demonstrate limited empathy with their peers.
People with Asperger Syndrome do feel. They just show it differently. They think differently from most of the people, but they often think deeply. Accordingly, some researchers have advocated a shift in attitudes toward the view that it is a difference, rather than a disability that must be treated or cured.

34. What is this passage mainly about?
(A): The exact cause of Asperger Syndrome is not known yet.
(B): The treatment of Asperger Syndrome is difficult.
(C): People with Asperger Syndrome are different.

The majority of spiders are loners. But about 25 of them have adopted a more sociable strategy. Recent researches show that personality is influenced by the other spiders in the group and that spider communities gain strength through a division of labor, which is dictated by predilection: those in charge of defending the colony score high on tests of aggression, while those caring for the young are more docile. The result of these studies resonates with our own experience.

Often labeled a poet of memory, Li-young Lee, an Asian American, utilizes both the power and insufficiency of memory to discover his origins. Lee’s reliance on memory illustrates its capacity to achieve the mythic depth necessary to define himself and the reader. But, within the Euro-centric American tradition, does Lee’s work reflect only Asian American culture? Studies show that Lee not only belongs to the American tradition, but that his poetry, in its preoccupation with memory and the loss of origin, epitomizes it. Critics often limit Lee’s poetry to a purely Asian American reading, as Lee’s poetry often attempts to recover his Chinese heritage. Yet critics fail to realize that Lee’s heritage is redefined or even lost in his status as second-generation Asian American. This redefinition and loss are symptoms of American culture, which is predominately immigrant.
Immigration, in fact, led to the possibility of America’s finding its origins in a collective and somewhat invented European mind in the first place. It is in this manner that Lee, as an immigrant, can similarly participate in the American tradition. Indeed, the key factor in Lee’s capacity to be traditional is exactly the way in which he utilizes memory to combat the nihilistic threat present in memory’s own potential to be lost.
Lee’s poetry suggests that the American tradition is not bound to any single originating culture. Instead, this tradition is a search for origin arriving at the conclusion that all Americans, and in fact all people, share a universal and divine origin.

40. What is this passage mainly about?
(A): Euro-centric American culture and Asian American culture are quite different.
(B): Asian Americans’search for origin is doomed to fail.
(C): All Americans share the traditions of searching for origins.
(D): American immigrants represent many diverse cultures.
