D
“Community” is not a concept that is easy to define (定義) . In this essay I will examine what turns individuals into a community,and discuss some different types. I will also look at what all communities have in common,the benefits they offer and draw conclusions about their increasing importance.
The word “community” may make you think of traditional communities in the developing world,where large families live together. We may also imagine the neighbours as people who are happy to help out whenever it is needed. The 5紀r以?仏(老套的) view is that of a village,where people have little but can feel very rich because everyone takes responsibility for the welfare of the others.
On the other hand,there are other types of communities: ultramodern(超現(xiàn)代的) ones,where the community members are unlikely to have actually met each other. These are online communities,where people blog or chat about particular issues that are important to them. They come across others on websites and may develop a relationship there with like-minded people,discussing the same topics. The view is often that these are artificial connections between people who are,in effect,still isolated(孤立的) strangers.
In reality,the connections are real. Moreover,there are many types of communities in between these extremes: people who join clubs,who sign up with voluntary,political or other organizations,or who take part in group discussions in their local area. They may be campaigning about issues or simply getting together for companionship and support.
Human beings are social by nature,so it should not be a surprise that we organize ourselves in groups. However,there is more going on: these groups provide something that we cannot achieve on our own. The main benefit of being part of a larger group is strength in numbers. For example,we can access and share more information,we can take part in team sports,we can complain and campaign more effectively and even if we are just having a chat,online or in person,we can feel supported in whatever we do.
Whatever forms communities take,what defines them is the sense of identity and safety that they provide for their members: the knowledge that there are people who we have something in common with and who can be relied on when we need each other.
32. In traditional communities,people.
A. live in a large family
B. are wealthy but unhappy
C. help and care about each other
D. are isolated and don't have connections
33. According to the text,online community members .
A. develop a close working relationship
B. share opinions about issues on websites
C. communicate with each other in person
D. share the same interest but have no relations
34. Paragraph 5 mainly talks about .
A. the types of community
B. the culture of community
C. the benefits of community
D. the definition of community
35. Communities provide their members with.
A. a sense of identity and safety
B. a sense of social responsibility
C. chances of meeting new people
D. chances of developing their interests

We are sailing toward the San Bias Archipelago,a chain of more than 360 islands in the Caribbean Sea.
“There's a boat!” Our daughter Hayley shouts suddenly.
Three men,far out at sea,are in a canoe called a cayuco. We pull up near them and they offer to sell us a spiny lobster(龍蝦) ,but they have not caught enough for each of us.
“Un momento,por favor [One moment,please],” the man says.
He dives overboard,holding his breath,goes down 40 feet, and comes back up with another lobster in his bare hands!We buy the lobsters and visit with the men.
These fishermen are the Kuna Indians from the San Bias Islands. The Kuna Indians have made their homes famous because of their efforts to protect their rain forests,their independence,and their culture.

B
Zora Neale Hurston proves to be a study in contrasts a black writer reaching a white audience,a woman struggling in a man's profession,an independent thinker living in a conformist(墨守成規(guī)的) era. Now,almost 50 years since her death,her hard work and great novels still have much to teach the modem audience. She overcame the challenges she faced and showed that determination makes anything possible.
Hurston thought much of her deeply individualistic personality was developed because of the experience of growing up in Eatonville,Florida. The town was unique in that it was particularly hot in the summer,but mild at other times of the year. Hurston always said growing up in a community totally separate from the larger white society allowed her freedom and independence not available to everyone in the south.
Hurston began her undergraduate studies at Howard University,but her obvious intelligence and talent soon earned her a scholarship to Barnard College in New York City. Moving north in the 1920s helped her get to know the Harlem Renaissance,a black cultural movement that produced exceptional achievements in literature,art,and music. Communicating with the likes of Langston Hughes,W.E. B. DuBois,Billie Holiday,and Duke Ellington,Hurston developed her skills as a writer and published lots of short stories and poems.
Her most influential work grew out of her attempt to record the black experience. That novel,called Their Eyes Were Watching God,was about three generations of a family living in Eatonville. Her interesting representation of the southern dialect caused her Harlem Renaissance contemporaries to look down upon the work for what they saw as its spread of inaccurate patterns. Hurston,however,remained true to her project,believing that the accuracy of her representation would finally win over the political pressures her peers forced her to accept.
History has shown that Hurston was right. Modem critics admire her authentic(真實的) and skillful representation of the language as well as her realistic description of daily life in the early twentieth century. She is universally considered as one of the best writers of her era and ranked with Toni Morrison,Maya Angelou,and Alice Walker as one of the most important African-American writers of all time.
6. Hurston grew up in a town where .
A. a larger white society existed
B. all the four seasons were like spring
C. the black people could enjoy much freedom
D. the black people had no chance to get. an education
7. What happened to Hurston after she moved north?
A. She changed her political attitude.
B. She decided to give up her studies.
C. She developed an interest in literature.
D. She was warmly welcomed by the white.
8. At her times,Hurston's works were .
A. special in the way they were published
B. not popular with the general audience
C. mostly written in standard English
D. good examples of African history
9. What can we learn from Hurston's story?
A. It's easy to be wise after the event.
B. Where there is a will,there is a way.
C. A good beginning makes a good ending.
D. In time of danger,one's mind works fast.
10. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. The origins of a black cultural movement.
B. A very influential African-American novel.
C. A famous African-American female writer.
D. The struggle between the white and the black.
