d during a peak harvest, helping a family friend for a day or two. The houses and lands looked the same, and I could picture the gentle faces and hear familiar voices as if little had been changed. As I eased into our driveway I’d return to old ways, becoming a son once again, a child on the family farm. My feelings were honest and real. How I longed for a land where life stood still and my memories could be relived. When I left the farm for college, I could only return as visitor to the valley, a traveler looking for home. Now the farm is once again my true home. I live in that farmhouse and work the permanent lands. My world may seem unchanged to casual observers, but they are wrong. I now this; if there’s a constant on these farms, it’s the constant of change. The good observer will recognize the differences. A farmer replants an orchard (果园) with a new variety of peaches. Irrigation is added to block of old grapes, so I imagine the vineyard has a new owner. Occasionally the changes are clearly evident, like a FOR SALE sign. But I need to read the small print in order to make sure that a bank has taken possession of the farm. Most of the changes contain two stories. One is the physical change of the farm, the other involves the people on that land, the human story behind the change.  -20-\nI’ve been back on the farm for a decade and still haven’t heard all the stories behind the changes around me. But once I add my stories to the landscape, I can call this place my home, a home that continues to evolve and changes as I add more and more of my stories. A poet returns to the valley and says, “How closed – minded you all are.” He comments about the lack of interest in the sorts, in social and environmental issues, in the poverty and inequality of our life. “Little has changed in the valley.” He was born and raised here, so he might have the right to criticize and lecture us. Yet he speaks for many who think they know the valley. How differently would others think of us if they knew the stories of a grape harvest in a wet year or a peach without a home? 67．The most important reason why the writer wanted to move to the city is that       .  A．he did not want to work on the farm B．he wanted to make new friends  C．he was eager for a different life there D．there were more things to do there 68．What made the writer relax as he drove from the city to the country?  A．He could see for miles and miles.  B．The traffic moved more slowly.  C．The people he passed seemed to be calmer.  D．The land seemed familiar to him. 69．Whichofthefollowingmostlikelyindicatesthatthereisasadhumanstorybehindaphysicalchangeonthefarm?A.AnewvarietyofpeachisbeingplantedB.IrrigationisbeingaddedtoagrapeoperationC.ApieceoflandisbeingsoldbyabankD.Afarmisbeingsoldtoalargecorporation70．The fact that most upsets the writer with the poet is that         . -20-\nA．the poet prefers to live in the urban area  B．the poet thinks that the folk people are backward  C．the poet says that little has changed in the valley  D．the poet’s criticism and comments are not objective第Ⅱ卷(主观题共35分)第一部任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在文章后表格的空格填入最恰当的单词（每空限填1词）Imaginelivinginacountrytombywar.Ormaybeyouliveinaplacewheretherearefewjobsandlittlechancetoearnaliving.Yourfamilydecidedtomove---nottoanothertown,buttoanothercountry.Youandyourfamilyhavebecomeimmigrants.Peoplearecalledimmigrantswhentheymovetoaforeigncountrytomaketheirhomes.Peoplebecomeimmigrantsformanyreasons.Themostcommononeiseconomicopportunities.Mostimmigrantsareattractedtoothercountriesbythepromiseofjobs,farmland,orbusinessopportunities.Otherpeoplebecomeimmigrantsinordertogetawayfrommistreatmentornaturaldisasters.Theyarerefugees(难民).Somerefugeesmovetoavoidwarsandpoliticalunrest.Othersareseekingfreedomtoexpresstheirreligiousviews.Stillothersareuprootedbydisasters,suchasterriblefloodingordrought.Somepeoplehavebecomeimmigrantsagainsttheirwill.CapturedinAfrica,shippedtoforeignlandsandforcedtoworkasslaves,manyearlyAfricanimmigrantstoNorthandSouthAmericacameinchains.ExceptforNativeAmericans,allpeoplecametotheUnitedStatesfromsomeplaceelse.Fornearly500years,immigrantshavelandedonAmerica’sshoresseekingabetterlife.ThroughoutAmericanhistory,immigrantsoftenworkedlow-paying,dangerousjobsthatotherpeoplerefusedtodo.ImmigrantsfromaroundtheworldhelpedshapeAmericanlife.ManyimmigrantsabsorbedthecustomsandlanguagecommontomostAmericans.Theyalsobroughttheirowntraditions,includingmusicandfoods.Overtime,manyofthesetraditionshavebecomepartofAmericanlife.-20-\nThefirstEuropeanimmigrantstoAmericahopedtocolonize(使成为殖民地)newlands.Bythemid-1500s,SpaniardshadventuredintoFlorida,California,andtheAmericanSouthwest.Frenchimmigrantsarrivedintheearly1600sandbuilttheirfirstcolonyinCanada.TheEnglishalsoarrivedintheearly1600s.Theyestablished13coloniesalongAmerica’sAtlanticCoast.Inthe1700s,EnglandbecamethemajorpowerincolonialNorthAmerica.ButmanyEuropeanimmigrantscametoliveintheEnglishcolonies.TheyincludedpeoplefromSweden,Holland,Germany,Scotland,an
