She was graduating just before Christmas, but due to my own scholarly schedule back home, I would not be able to make it in time for her graduation. She was understandably disappointed, and I felt guilty that I wasnt able to be there for her on this most special occasion.While talking to my supervisor the week before my sisters graduation, I mentioned that I would be missing my sisters graduation, and she commented, “Well, if you want to go, I have no problem with it, so go ahead！” I couldnt believe my luck! I nearly jumped for joy.“Just make sure you get permission from the administration，” she added. My heart sank. The administration at my school was wellknown for denying any sort of timeoff requests, and lastminute pleas would undoubtedly draw nothing but anger. I almost didnt bother asking, because I knew it would be a waste of time and I knew the answer already: no.But something in me decided to try, just in case. Maybe it was the hope that the Christmas Spirit would somehow affect the administrative office at this time of year.When I returned home to find the Associate Deans reply in my inbox, I prepared myself for disappointment. I opened the email and started to read. And reread. Approval? I rubbed my eyesthere must be a mistake. But no. I couldnt believe my luck! The only logical explanation I could possibly come up with was that the Christmas Spirit had been hiding in the heart of my Associate Dean when she was reading my request.Immediately, I called the airline. Miraculously, even during the busy Christmas season, I was able to change my ticket to arrive the day before my sisters graduation.With this fantastic news, I was bursting to tell my sister. But, fingers on the dial, I paused. Wouldnt it be so much more fantastic if I could surprise her? I pictured myself just showing up, knocking at her door. What a state of shock she would be in!Slowly the_idea developed in my mind. For a surprise of a grand scale, I needed a much more dramatic arrival than just a ring of the doorbell. I started to plot. Then, brilliance struck. Getting delivered in a box to my sisters house by couriers(快递员)！I knew if I pulled this off, my presence at her graduation and my grand arrival would be the best Christmas present I could ever give my sister.Although I was leaving in less than seventytwo hours, I jumped on my computer in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and started googling courier companies. The only one willing to go along with my Christmas surprise，was CouriersPlease. At first the branch manager said no, pointing out that Christmas was their busiest season and he couldnt spare a courier for this rather unusual request. But he suddenly warmed up to the idea and actually volunteered to dress up and deliver me himself. The Christmas Spirit struck again!Upon my arrival in Australia, the manager met me in full uniform, but that wasnt all. Hed brought one of his couriers, plus a CouriersPlease van along for the ride as well! They even had a reinforced box prepared for me that theyd already tested at the office. Id thought it would be easier to walk up to the doorway, and then jump in the box while they rang the doorbell. But no, they insisted; my sister might see me through the window and they certainly didnt want to risk my Christmas surprise.Instead, they parked a few hundred meters up the street, where they loaded me in the box and carried me all the way up to my sisters, where they rang the doorbell and announced they had a delivery for her.I couldnt see the look on my sisters face as she opened the door to couriers with a surprise delivery, but I could tell from her voice that she was more than a little confused.This soon transformed into disbelief and shock when the box was opened and she saw her elder sister sitting inside smiling up at her. She was at a complete loss for words, and I will never forget the look on her face as she opened those flaps on the box.It was such a gift to be able to attend my sisters graduation, and to show her my love by giving her the most unique, unconventional Christmas present in the history of our family. It was a memory both she and I will cherish forever.It also served as a lesson for me：never, ever underestimate the power of the Christmas Spirit. It can move hearts, minds, and yes, even people in boxes.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文， 讲述的是作者为了给妹妹一个惊喜， 将自己快递到妹妹的面前。 这份特殊的礼物， 在圣诞节这样一个特殊的日子里， 有着不一样的含义， 令人终生难忘。 3After hearing what the supervisor said, the author felt _Apuzzled and later discouragedBdoubtful and later hopelessCexcited but later frustratedDhopeful but later annoyedC解析：细节理解题。 根据第二段中的“I couldnt believe my luck！I nearly jumped for joy.” 以及“My heart sank.” 可知， 作者先是高兴， 后又沮丧， 故答案为C项。 4According to the passage, the underlined part “the idea” refers to “_”Athe intention to give her sister a callBthe plan to get herself delivered in a boxCthe thought of giving her sister a surpriseDthe attempt to attend her sisters graduationC解析：词义猜测题。 根据第五段的“Wouldnt it be so much more fantastic if I could surprise her?

He has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s, when his songs showed social unrest. Early songs such as Blowin in the Wind and The Times They Are aChangin promoted the American civil rights and antiwar movements.Dylans songs include a wide range of political, social and literary influences. They challenged existing pop music conventions and appealed to the growing counterculture. His recording career, spanning more than 50 years, has explored the traditions in American song, from folk, blues, and country to rock n roll, and to English, Scottish, and Irish folk music, even jazz and the Great American Songbook. He has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been called the Never Ending Tour. His accomplishments as a recording artist and performer have been central to his career, but songwriting is considered his greatest contribution.As a musician, Dylan has sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the bestselling artists of all time. He has also received numerous awards including eleven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award. The Pulitzer Prize jury in 2008 awarded him a special citation(引言) for his influence on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power. In May 2012, Dylan received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama. In 2016, Dylan received the Nobel Prize in Literature “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”【解题导语】鲍勃迪伦因为“在美国歌曲传统形式之上开创了以诗歌传情达意的新表现手法”而获得诺贝尔文学奖。文章介绍了他的作品以及他对流行音乐和美国文化的影响。1Which word best describes Dylans music according to Paragraph 2?AVarious.
