What makes a diner a diner? (And not, say, a coffee shop?) Traditionally, a diner is built in a factory and then delivered to its own town or city rather than constructed on-site. Zavoski credits New Jersey’s location as the key to its mastery of the form. “It was just the perfect place to manufacture the diners,” she says. “We would ship them wherever we needed to by sea.”‎ VISIT “Icons of American Culture: History of New Jersey Diners,” running through June 2017 at The Cornelius House / Middlesex County Museum in Piscataway, New Jersey ‎ GOOD FOOD, GOOD TUNES Suzanne Vega’s 1987 song “Tom’s Diner” is probably best known for its frequently sampled “doo doo doo doo” melody (旋律) rather than its diner-related lyrics. Technically, it’s not even really about a diner — the setting is New York City’s Tom’s Restaurant, which Vega frequented when she was studying at Barnard. Vega used the word “diner” instead because it “sings better that way,” she told The New York Times. November 18 has since been called Tom’s Diner Day, because on that day in 1981, the New York Post’s front page was a story about the death of actor William Holden. In her song Vega sings: “I Open / Up the paper / There’s a story / Of an actor / Who had died / While he was drinking.”‎ LISTEN “Tom’s Diner” by Suzanne Vega ‎ MEET THE DINER ANTHROPOLOGIST Richard J.S. Gutman has been called the “Jane Goodall of diners” (he even consulted on Barry Levinson’s 1982 film, Diner). His book, American Diner: Then Now, traces the evolution of ‎ the “night lunch wagon,” set up by Walter Scott in 1872, to the early 1920s, when the diner got its name (adapted from “dining car’’), and on through the 1980s. Gutman has his own diner facilities (floor plans, classic white mugs, a cashier booth); 250 of these items arc part of an exhibit in Rhode Island.‎ READ American Diner: Then & Now (John Hopkins University Press)‎ VISIT “Diners: Still Cooking in the 21st Century,” currently running at the Culinary Arts Museum at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island ‎36. In what way is a diner different from a coffee shop?‎ A. Its location. B. Its management.‎ C. From what it is built. D. Where it is constructed.‎ ‎37. What do we know about New Jersey?‎ A. It is a coastal U.S. state. B. It is building lots of ships.‎ C. Its diners are constructed on-site. D. Its diners provide quality service.‎ ‎38. What do we know about Vega’s 1987 song “Tom’s Diner”?‎ A. It warns people not to drink.‎ B. It was inspired by Tom’s Diner Day.‎ C. Its melody is preferred to its lyrics.‎ D. Its original title was Tom’s Restaurant.‎ ‎39. What is American Diner: Then & Now mainly about?‎ A. Historical facts. B. Analytical data.‎ C. Personal experiences. D. Diners on Rhode Island.‎ ‎40. Where are those interested in modem diners supposed to go?‎ A. Tom’s Restaurant. B. John Hopkins University.‎ C. Johnson & Wales University. D. Middlesex County Museum.‎ B Many years ago, my mother read from the book Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey to me. I remember as if it were yesterday, hearing her voice at my side on a cold wintry night. My mother’s voice changed my world.‎ Long before I could read on my own, she shared with me the strength and beauty of McCloskey’s language a story of a little girl and her mother out in nature, co-existing with a ‎ mother bear and her own baby. The power of the story, of language and of my mother all came together. And it happened many times after that, over and over. The read aloud made me a reader.‎ Years later, I was reading aloud a picture book to a small child in a classroom. His life, so far, had not been easy. His childhood was troubled by poverty and loneliness. In that moment, in the joy of the read aloud, he had an idea that started something big.‎ What he said was this: “Mrs. Allyn, let’s make sure everyone knows how good this feels. Let’s have a holiday for the read aloud•” Therefore, my organization, LitWorld, created a grassroots movement World Read Aloud Day in 2010 to honor this young boy’s wish for everyone to be able to have a read aloud every day.‎ Since the day he shared that good idea with us, World Read Aloud Day has become a worldwide event reaching over one million people in more than 65 countries around the world. This year we are over 600 cities strong, a number that is growing every day.‎ Children who grow up as readers become engaged citizens of the global world, and every child deserves the right to read. When I say that reading aloud will change the world, I know it sounds simple. But one of the many great things about giving kids access to the power of stories and sharing them together is that it is simple. It is also cheap and easily done. And the impact is huge.‎ ‎41. How did the author’s parent change her life?‎ A. By reading aloud to her. B. By listening to her reading.‎ C. By buying many books for her. D. By encouraging her to read aloud.‎ ‎42. According to Paragraph 3, the author was probably the little boy’s .‎ A. mother B. teacher C. best friend D. favorite writer ‎43. What does the small child’s idea in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A. To start a holiday. B. To reduce poverty.‎ C. To found LitWorld. D. To overcome loneliness.‎ ‎44. What can we know about World Read Aloud Day from Paragraph 5?‎ A. Its origin. B. Its future.‎ C. Its purpose. D. Its development.‎ ‎45. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. Sticking to reading isn’t easy.‎ B. Reading gives a high rate of return.‎ C. Reading aloud isn’t actually simple.‎ D. Kids should try to change the world. ‎ C An expression used by Americans for about 100 years is “to pass the buck”. It means refusing to take responsibility, letting others decide and act for you.‎ President Gerald Ford dramatized the phrase after taking Richard Nixon’s place in the White House. Ford announced in a special television broadcast that he had decided to pardon Nixon for any crimes he may have committed as President. Ford said such a decision had to be made by him alone, and that he could not let others do it for him. “The buck stops here,” said Ford.‎ He remembered how another President, Harry S. Truman, made that expression famous more than 25 years ago. Truman had a sign on his desk which said: “The buck stops here.” The message was clear: if the President of the United States could not act and make the final decision on important national matters, who else could? A president who refused to take the responsibility and “passed the buck” to someone else would soon find himself in serious trouble.‎ Where did the expression come from? It seems to have come from the card game of poker where the players, one after the other, mix and pass out the cards. In the game, a buck is a counter or marker formerly passed from one poker player to another to indicate an obligation, especially one’s turn to deal.‎ The phrase seems to have come to life in the gambling houses of the West. There, a silver dollar was put in front of a player to show that he would be the next dealer to pass out the cards. A dollar, silver or paper, was therefore called a “buck”.‎ Forceful leaders, of course, make decisions, and take risks and responsibility. The risks can be great. Every choice at times may lead to disaster. Therefore, it is easier to pass the responsibility and let others take the risks. Nobody, however, likes a man who passes the buck. He is soon found out and given an unpleasant name — buck-passer.‎ ‎46. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?‎ A. Nixon was very brave. B. Nixon was very tolerant.‎ C. Ford made a big mistake. D. Ford made a hard decision.‎ ‎47. Which word can best describe President Harry S. Truman according to Paragraph 3?‎ A. Patient. B. Intelligent. C. Responsible. D. Humorous.‎ ‎48. What should the poker player behind a buck do?‎ A. Mark cards. B. Count cards.‎ C. Purchase cards. D. Distribute cards.‎ ‎49. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? ‎ A. How to pass a buck. B. The functions of a dollar.‎ C. Why a buck means a dollar. D. A popular form of gambling.‎ ‎50. What is people’s attitude towards a buck-passer?‎ A. They dislike him. B. They admire him. ‎ C. They feel sorry for him. D. They appreciate his work. ‎ D We live in a judgmental world where people are quick to point out, the faults and imperfections of others yet seem unaware of their own. Some misguided souls believe they have a civil duty to help you to be a better person by telling you what a failure you really are first and then offering suggestions as to how you can improve.‎ So what is the solution to criticism? If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, STOP. Make a conscious decision that rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes, you’ll offer helpful suggestions from the get-to. If I’m painting our living room and making a mess in doing so, I would like my husband to say to me, “This is a tough job. Can I offer a suggestion that might make it easier for you?” rather than having him point out what a sloppy painter I am and then tell me how I should be doing it.‎ If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue, a natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it. ‎ It is important to remain emotionally attached to what the other person is saying, to listen ‎ without feeling, to be an objective observer. There is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake? Could I have done better? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? If so, how can I improve? As for chronic (习惯性的) criticizers: It is important to set strict boundaries with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary.‎ In any event, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact their life or relationship with the other party. Examine it for any potential truths, and then let it go and just be “OK”. ‎ ‎51. What does the underlined word “sloppy” in Paragraph 2 mean? ‎ A. Lazy. B. Creative. C. Careless. D. Energetic.‎ ‎52. What does the author want to show by using the example of painting?‎ A. Nobody is perfect. B. The art of criticizing.‎ C. The value of suggestions. D. Her husband cared about her.‎ ‎53. What is the best way to respond when you are criticized by a person?‎ A. Just say “OK”. B. Defend yourself.‎ C. Ignore the comment. D. Simply say “Thank you”.‎ ‎54. You are told to ask yourself some questions in Paragraph 4 so as to .‎ A, take criticism objectively B. learn from others’ mistakes •‎ C. better present negative reviews D. have more confidence in yourself ‎55. How should you treat people who always criticize others according to the author’s advice?‎ A, Attack them sharply. B. Talk to them politely.‎ C. Stay away from them. D. Be open to their suggestions. ‎ 第二卷 非选择题（共35分）‎ 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。‎ Louisiana’s top two youth volunteers of 2016, Stanley Celestine, 17, and Ashini Modi, 12, were honored in the nation’s capital for their outstanding volunteer service during the 21st annual presentation of the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. Stanley and Ashini---along ‎ with 100 other top youth volunteers from across the US — each received $1,000 awards.‎ Stanley, a junior at Louisiana School for the Agricultural Sciences (LaSAS), is trying to decrease the rate of childhood obesity (肥胖) and improve the general health of all citizens in his community through an action he calls “Healthy Avoyelles.” Three years ago, Stanley formed a nonprofit mentoring (指导) program to help elementary students improve their studies. During that project, Stanley noticed that many young children in the rural, economically poor Avoyelles Parish were obese and had serious health problems often associated with being overweight. So he instituted a back-to-school festival to educate families about the health risks associated with child obesity, the many causes, and how to create a healthier lifestyle. According to Stanley, his health action has affected more than 2,000 children to date.‎ Ashini, a sixth-grader at Caddo Parish Middle Magnet School, set up a 1,500-book library at a local homeless shelter so that the children there could “explore, imagine and find the beauty of reading.” With the help of her family and friends, Ashini collected children’s books in her community from individual, schools, public libraries, a second-hand shop and a bookstore. They all went into a room called the “Reading Rainforest,” decorated by Ashini and her family. To further encourage kids at the shelter to use the new library, Ashini started a story time. Several times a year, she reads a book to the children and organizes a related craft project.‎ ‎“By using their time and talents to better their communities, these young people have achieved great things---and become examples to us all,” said John Strangfeld, chairman and CEO of Prudential Financial, Inc. “Congratulations to an exemplary group of honorees.”‎ ‎56.
