She is the daughter of farmers who moved to Ohio from the southern state of Alabama. She studied at Harvard University in Washington D.C. and Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.
Her first success came in 1970 with the book called The Bluest Eye. It tells the story of a young black girl in a society where golden hair and blue eyes are considered beautiful. Her next book was called Sulla. It tells the story of two black girls and pain in their lives as they grow up in a small town in Ohio. Her book The Song of Solomon is about a black man who tries to forget his past as a slave and begin a new life. And Tar Baby explores the relationship of a black man and a black woman. In the story the writer argues that black men and women can not get along with each other until they join together to fight racial hatred(種族仇視).
Miss Morrison won America’s highest prize for literature, the Pulitzer Prize in 1988 for her book Beloved .It is a powerful story of a slave woman who kills her baby daughter so she will not grow up to be a slave, too.

Imagine you’re in a dark room, running your fingers over a smooth surface in search of a single dot the size of this period, How high do you think the dot must be for your finger to feel it?
Scientists have determined that the human finger is so sensitive it can detect a surface bump just one micron(l0-6m)"high. The human eye, by contrast, can't tell anything much smaller than100 microns.No wonder we rely on touch rather than eyesight when faced with a new roll of toilet paper.
Biologically, touch is the mother of all sensory(感覺(jué)的) systems.It is an ancient sense in evolution: even the simplest single-celled living things can feel when something brushes up against them and will respond by moving closer or pulling away. It is the first sense aroused during a baby’s development and the last to weaken at life's peak. Patients in a deep coma (昏迷)who seem otherwise lost to the world will show skin reaction when touched by a nurse.
“Touch ,is so central to what we are that we almost cannot imagine ourselves without it,” said Chris Dijkerman.“It's 'not like eyesight, where you close your eyes and you don't see anything. You can't do that with touch.It's always there."
Long ignored in favor of the sensory heavyweights of eyesight and hearing, the study of touch lately:: has been gaining new concern among scientists.They're exploring the effects of recently reported false touch impressions, of people being made to feel as though they had three arms, for example, with the hope of gaining the true understanding of how the mind works.
Others are turning to touch for more practical purposes: to build better touch screen instruments and robot hands, a more well-rounded virtual life.?!癟here's a fair amount of research into new ways of offloading information onto our sense of touch," said Lynette Jones. "To have your cell phone buzzing (making a low sound) as opposed to ringing turned out to have a lot of advantages in.some situations."
Touch is our most active sense, our means of seizing the world and experiencing it 'first hand. Dr.Susan Lederman pointed out that while we can become aware of something by seeing or hear,ing7;-.from a distance and without really trying, if we want to learn about something by means of touch, we must make a move.We must rub the cloth, or pet the cat. Touching is a two-way street, and that's not true for seeing or hearing. If you have a soft object and you squeeze it, you change its shape. The physical world reacts back."
Our hands are smart and can do many tasks automatically - button a shirt, fit a key in a lock, play the; piano for others.Dr.Lederman and her colleagues have shown that blindfolded subjects can easily recognize a wide range of common -objects placed.in their hands.But on some feeling tasks, touch is all thumbs (very clumsy). When people are given a raised line drawing of a common object, they're puzzled.“If all we've got is outline information;" Dr.Lederman said,.“no weight, no texture, no temperature information, well, we're very, very bad with that."
Touch also turns out to be easy to fool, Among the sensory tricks now being investigated is something called the Pinocchio illusion. Researchers have found that if they shake the band of the biceps(二頭?。? many people report feeling that their forearm is getting 'longer, their hand floating ever further from their elbow(肘). And if they are told to touch the forefinger of the shaken arm to the tip of their nose, they feel as though their nose was lengthening, too.
50.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Our eyes are more sensitive than our fingers.
B. Our fingers are more sensitive than our eyes.
C. Our eyes are more sensitive than our ears.
D. Our noses are less sensitive than our ears.
51.The sense that is firstly awaked during a child's development is the sense of .
A. sight B. taste C. hearing D. touch
52.The underlined sentence “You can't do that with touch” here means “You can't ”.
A. close your skin B. close your eyes ' C. touch anything D. see anything
53.Scientists are lately getting interested in the following except .
A. living a well-rounded virtual life B. understanding how the mind works
C. favoring eyesight and hearing D. building better 'touch screen objects
54.In the view of , movement is needed when we want to know something by touching.
A. the author B. Chris Dijkerman
C. Lynette Jones D. Susan Lederman

Oscar-winning actress Joan Fontaine, who rose to fame during Hollywood's golden age as the star of several Alfred Hitch.cock classics, died from natural causes at her home in Carmel, northern California on December 16, 2013 aged 96, US media reports said.
Born in Japan to British parents, Fontaine moved in 1919 to California, where she and her elder sister -screen idol Olivia de Havilland-were to shape successful movie careers.Fontaine and de Havilland remain the only sisters to have won lead actress honours at the Academy Awards.Yet the two sisters also had an uneasy relationship, with Fontaine recording a bitter competition in her own account "No Bed of Roses ".
Fontaine began her acting career in her late teens with Largely less important roles on the stage and later in mostly B-movies in the 1930s. It was not before famous British film director Hitchcock spotted her a decade later that her career took off.
Greatly surprised by her expressive looks, the suspense (懸念) master cast Fontaine in his first US film, a 1940 adaptation of the Daphne du Maurier novel "Rebecca". She received an Academy Award nomination(提名) for her performance as a troubled wife. A year later, Fontaine finally won the long-sought golden figure, for her role as leading lady in "Suspicion" opposite Cary Grant, becoming the first and only actress to earn the title for a Hitchock film.
Although her sister, Olivia de Havilland, preceded her in gaining Hollywood fame, Fontaine was the first of the sisters to win an Oscar, beating Olivia's nomination as best actress in Mitchell Leisen's "Hold Back the Dawn".
The dislike ,between the sisters was felt at the Oscars ceremony."I froze. I stared across the table, where Olivia was sitting.'Get up there!' she whispered commandingly," Fontaine said."All the dislike we'd felt toward each other as children…all came rushing back in quickly changing pictures…I felt Olivia would spring across the table and seize me by the hair."
Olivia did not win her first Oscar until 1946, for her role as the lover of a World War I pilot in Leisen's " To Each His Own". Fontaine later made it known that her. sister had slighted her as she attempted to offer congratulations.“She took one look at me, ignored my hand, seized her Oscar and wheeled away,” she said.
The sisters were also reportedly competitors in love. Howard Hughes, a strange businessman who dated the elder de Havilland for a time, offered marriage to Fontaine several times."I married first, won the Oscar before Olivia did, and if I die first, she'll undoubtedly be extremely angry because I beat her to it!" Fontaine once joked.
As her film career fruited in the 1950s, Fontaine turned to television and dinner theatre, and also appeared in several Broadway productions, including the Lion in Winter". Anything but the ordinary lady, Fontaine was also a licensed pilot, a champion balloonist, an accomplished golfer, a licensed .decoration designer and a first-class cook.

2014高考英語(yǔ)閱讀理解(人物傳記、故事類)【2014·重慶卷】D
One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charged with tension. The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed. I urged the elephant deeper into the forest. We sounded like a forest fire --- cracking, snapping, trailblazing. But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it again --- the tell-tale call of a spotted deer.
I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest. Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches, beneath which the patchwork(交錯(cuò))of green plants and shadows-within-shadows would make tiger stripes(條紋)look more attractive. Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant’s stomach, the forest was silent.
Gradually, the tension slipped from our bodies. The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into its mouth. I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant’s neck; there was a soft part, free of wrinkles and hairs, behind her ear.
This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett, although I saw no tigers in the end. Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains, Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers, but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts(出沒(méi)處), a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity. Still, I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear. If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger, I could have gone to a zoo. After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you aware of something more.
. Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm?
A. The elephant stopped. B. A spotted deer called.
C. The elephant seized a branch. D. The forest was silent for a while.
. The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by _______.
A. describing various sounds B. comparing different animals
C. listing different activities D. introducing various plants
. What does the underlined part “to sense the aura” most probably mean?
A. To see the diversity. B. To enjoy the scenery.
C. To feel the atmosphere. D. To experience the freedom.
. How does the author feel after several visits to Corbett?
A. Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling.
B. It is very time-consuming to travel in Corbett.
C. It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett.
D. The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing.
【答案】
B
A
C
D
詞義推斷題。從上下文可知,作者去森林是為了感受追蹤老虎的那份神秘、興奮和緊張的氛圍。故選擇C項(xiàng)。
主旨大意題。文章最后一段After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you aware of something more.一句告訴我們,在作者看來(lái),真正看見老虎只是證實(shí)它們的美,并且直接去動(dòng)物園就可以實(shí)現(xiàn)這個(gè)目的;但是追蹤老虎卻能帶來(lái)更多感受,作者真正感興趣的是這個(gè)過(guò)程。故選擇D項(xiàng)。
