Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage 　Recently a new postage stamp has been issued to honor Flannery O'Connor and her great contributions to American Literature. The stamp costs 93 cents and has a pretty picture of the writer herself on it. She wears a simple top with a jewel neckline, and pearls. Her pink porcelain face, framed in a 1940s hairstyle, glows with the barest hint of a how-do-you do smile. 　This stamp does not, to my eyes, show Flannery O'Connor, the 20th-century master of the short story, the "hermit（隐士） novelist" who fused her art and life as a Southerner and a Roman Catholic with stories that are shocking, hilarious （令人发笑的） and often bloody, the one who lived with her mother in Georgia and raised pheasants（雏鸡）， who got sick and died young in l964, who gazed at the sin-stricken world through cat-eye glasses that are as much as her visual signature as Hemingway’s beard or Frida’s eyebrow. 　This stamp shows the artist as a very young woman，barely 20 years old. It’s based on a photo of her as an undergraduate at Georgia State College for Women. Her works then amounted to cartoons and stories for the college magazine. 　The United States Postal Service gave this job to an art director, who lured a freelance artist. I spoke with both of them, and learned that neither knew much about O'Connor, but they did their best with the images they had. The artist told me he had read one of her novels in college. He knew O'Connor had raised pheasants, so he framed her with feathers. The art director remembered that her work was 'unsettling," and that she was a Catholic. 　I can't blame either of them for deciding on this striking portrait as the best fit for their tiny canvas, but I wish they and the Postal Service had produced a stamp that was more recognizably the grown-up Flannery, and contained some taste of her strange and noble artistic vision. 　I know she does not present an automatic illustrative equation, like mustache+ steamboat = Mark Twain. But a better choice would be a painting made by the author herself, a self-portrait from 1953. She is wearing a yellow straw hat,holding a devilish-looking pheasant and looking straight at you, harmful and brilliant, as if she could smell your stupidity. It is gorgeous and rough and honest and perfect.It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that Flannery O'Connor_________ .

Passage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based are on the following passage. 　It is difficult to form a correct idea of a desert without having seen one. It is a vast plain of sands and stones, with mountains here and there of various sizes and heights, without roads or shelters. They sometimes have springs of water. The most remarkable of deserts is the Sahara. This is a vast plain, but little elevated above the level of the ocean, and covered with sand and gravel（砂砾）, with a mixture of sea shells. 　Amid the desert, there are springs of water, which burst forth and create verdant（翠绿的） spots, called oases. There are thirty-two of these which contain fountains, and date and palm trees; twenty of them are inhabited. They serve as stopping places for the caravans, and often contain villages. Were it not for these, no human being could cross this waste of burning sand. So violent, sometimes, is the burning wind that the scorching （灼热的） heat dries up the water of these springs, and then frequently, the most disastrous consequences follow. 　In 1805, a caravan consisting of 2,000 persons and 1,800 camels, not finding water at the usual resting place, died of thirst, both men and animals. Storms of wind are more terrible in this desert than on the ocean. Vast surges and clouds of red sand are raised and rolled forward, burying everything in there and it is said that whole tribes have thus been swallowed up. 　The situation of such is dreadful, and admits of' no resource. Many die and become victims of the most horrible thirst. It is then that the value of a cup of water is really felt. To be thirsty in a desert, without water, exposed to the burning sun, without shelter is the most terrible situation a human being can be placed in. 　If unfortunately, any one falls sick on the road , he or she must either endure the fatigue of traveling on a camel, which is troublesome even to healthy people, or he or she must be left behind on the sand, without any assistance, and remain so until a slow death comes to relieve him or her.The first paragraph tells us that________.
