Happy? Angry? Calm? etc、Build up your vocabularyA wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don't try to learn too mach at once、It’s best to study frequently,for short periods of time、Take a maximum of six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them、Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind,then e back to them later、Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic、And above all,have fun!( )46、Why should one have himself recorded when practising speaking?A、 T o encourage others to startB、 To record his own progress、C、 To improve his speaking、D、 To pare himself with others、( )47、Which of the following is the most important in learning English?A、Speaking、B、Pleasure、C、Intuition、D、Vocabulary、( )48、It is implied in the passage that is helpful when you are learning English、A、body languageB、a good memoryC、a good friendD、a proper dictionary ( )49、Which of the following proverbs(谚语) seems not to be always true in learning a language?A、Practice makes perfect、B、A good beginning is half done、C、Rome is not built in a day、D、Don’t run before you can walk、BBy far the most mon difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work、This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study、 Many students muddle along ,doing a bit of this subject or that ,as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment、Few students work to a set timetable 、They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it ,or would have to change it frequently ,since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be 、No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others 、There are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable ,and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work 、Many able students state that they work in cycles 、When they bee interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time 、On other days they avoid work pletely 、It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation(动机)to work 、Most people over 25 years of age have bee used to a work routine ,and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work 、The “tough-minded” school ofworkers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally ,under the influence of inspiration(灵感)、Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom”、Freedom from control and discipline(纪律)leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development”、Our society insists on regular habits ,timekeeping and punctuality (准时),and whether we like it or not ,if we mean to make our way in society ,we have to meet its demands、( )50、The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is 、A、changing from one subject to anotherB、the failure to keep to a set timetable of workC、the unwillingness to follow a systematic planD、working on a subject only when one feels like it( )51、Which of the following is true?A、Many students are not interested in using a self-controlled timetable、B、Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed timetable、C、Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable、D、Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally、( )52、The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph4 means 、A、 when they have the energyB、 when they are in the moodC、 when they feel fitD、 when they find conditions suitable( )53、A suitable title for the passage might be 、A、 Attitudes to StudyB、A Study PlanC、 The difficulties of StudyingD、 Study andSelf-disciplineCWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear、We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough、 In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle、It needs exercise、Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children、Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about、The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent、 If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to bee dull and unintelligent、Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children、 According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things、So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did、”or “You a re such a smart child、”( )54、The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________、A、 bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB、 pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC、 great and important; monD、 hopeful and helpful; careless( )55、 A person ________ is more likely to bee a genius、A、 whose parents are cleverB、 often thinking about difficult problemsC、 often helped by his parents and teachersD、 born with a good brain and putting it into active use ( )56、It is better for parents ________、A、 to praise and encourage their children more oftenB、 to be hard on their childrenC、 to leave their children alone with nothing to doD、 to give their children as much help as possible( )57、 Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A、Parents play an important part in their children’s growth、B、 The less you use your mind the duller you may bee、C、 Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live、D、What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion、DNo one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams、 As we sat before the television set, with oureyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling、When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would e next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths、Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy、 For more than that it provides food for thought、Just see how the Chinese women won the game ──by their co ──operation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will、 A Chinese sa ying goes, “When two petent opponents (比赛得双方) meet, the strong ──minded one will win、“This is the spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team、If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear ──min ded in times of advantage (优势), then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has done, is doing and will do、( )58、 While watching the game, we _____、A、 had feelings of different kindB、 enjoyed a friendly and wonderful gameC、clapped and cheered only for the Chinese Women’sVolleyball TeamD、 were eager to know what would happen later on( )59、 The wonderful game _____、A、 brought us great joyB、 provided us with food for our thoughtsC、 gave us not only great joy but also food for thoughtsD、 give us a valuable amusement( )60、 The author believed that _____、A、the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team was the strongestB、 China was sure to bee stronger and stronger if only wehave that spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball TeamC、The Chinese must remain clear-minded in time of advantageD、The Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team never lost heartin times of difficulty( )61、 The best title of the passage might be _____、A、 Watching a Close Volleyball GameB、The Spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball TeamC、 Learn from the Members of the Volleyball TeamD、The Strong ──Minded Are the WinnersEIf you wish to bee a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading:1、 Knowing why you are reading—what you are reading to find out—will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly、2、Some things should be read slowly throughout、Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information、You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea、3、Some things should be read rapidly throughout、Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news, and letters from friends, items, or bits of news from local, or hometown, paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors、4、 In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow to fast, as you go along、You need to readcertain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful readings when

A study found that students whose parents paid attention to their abilities were far more likely to do well in school—and in life—than students whose parents didn’t show such support.So celebrate your kids’achievements,no matter how small they are.3.Praising their efforts. Kids won’t always come out on top.Still,they deserve kudos ( 赞誉) for trying their best.Ten-year-old April Cutler,for example,has had trouble with math since second grade.“She usually gets C’s on her report card,but last year she was determined to get A’ s and worked hard at it,” says her mom.“Whe n the first grading period ended,April was disappointed when she got a B minus in math,” Lueille continues.“Bu t my husband and I told her we were very proud that she’d improved.That inspired her to try even harder.She got a B plus for the next period!”4.Letting them make decisions and mistakes.Making his/her own decisions increases a child’s sense of control and builds his/her self­esteem ( 自尊心).And allowing kids to make wrong decisions—so long as doing so won’t harm them—helps kids learn from their mistakes.5.Encouraging them to solve their own problems.As they grow,children needpractice in communicating,standing up for themselves and compromising.One of the best places to learn these skills is at home.So the next time your child runs to you complaining that her brother is blaming her,step back and let them work it out.56.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To encourage parents to admire their kids.B.To show how to praise kids.C.To help kids study harder.D.To give advice on how to help kids become mature.57.The passage is mainly intended for .A.kids B.parents C.teachers D.educators58.From the example of April Cutler,we can l earn that .A.praising kids’ efforts can help them make greater progressB.setting a high goal makes kids feel discouragedC.solving problems by themselves helps kids feel confidentD.interest is the best teacher59.Why should parents allow kids to make mistakes?A.Making mistakes is a normal thing for a kid.B.Adults also make mistakes now and then.C.Kids can learn something valuable from their mistakes.D.Making mistakes won’t harm kids.BLooking back on my childhood,I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.Although we were all brought up in the same way,my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them,I had no ear for music and languages.I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War Ⅰwe spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in,of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents,aunts,uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a clear memory of the dogs,the farm animals,the local birds,and above all,the insects.I am a naturalist,not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm led me into varied investigations.I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries.Then somet hing happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind.Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle,because it all seems to fit together.This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books,which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity,a keen eye,a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist:one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline,a quality I lack.A scientist requires not only self-discipline,but hard training,determination and a goal.A scientist,up to a certain point,can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine the two,you get the best of both worlds.60.The first paragraph tells us the author .A.was interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodB.lost his hearing when he was a childC.didn’t like his brothers and sistersD.was born to a naturalist’s family61.The author can’t remember his relatives clearly because .A.he didn’t live very long with themB.the family was extremely largeC.he was too young when he lived with themD.he was fully occupied with observing nature62.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.The author is a naturalist,but not a scientist.B.The author is a scientist as well as a naturalist.C.The author is first of all a scientist.D.The author is neither a naturalist nor a scientist.63.The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he t hinkshe .A.has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticcks some of the qualities required of a scientistC.just reads about other people’s observations and discoverieses up with solutions in a most natural wayCWhen you were looking for a reliable,honest auto mechanic,how did you find him?Before you went into that restaurant you recently tried,how did you know that it served great food?If you are like most people on the planet,you want to lower your risk of a big ugly surprise so you asked people you trust to refer to a business they trust.Marketers call thisfriend­to­friend recognition of a business “word­of­mouth” advertising.When you do a great job for your customer or a bad job,people are going to talk about your business.Unfortunately,because we humans seem to feel negative emotions more intensively than positive ones,we’re more likely to tell more of our friends about bad experiences with a business than positive ones.Understand this:Customers believe their own experience.You can’t make them believe that your company is wonderful when they felt they were treated badly.So,to get positive word-of-mouth going for your business in this service-based economy,you’ve got to do a really outstanding job for everyone,exactly.And when you do,you build a great reputation.That takes time.But it forms a close link with your customers in a way that no advertising and no promotional coupon (优惠券) ever could.The good news is that because there are so many different businesses chasing after your customers’money,people want to know whom they can trust.So people are going to be talking about you.Create a free sales force for your business—an army of delighted customers who tell everyone that they know how good your company is to do business with.That’s a great antidote (解毒剂) to defectionitis.64.What is the main topic of this passage?A.A good name will bring you money.B.A person should rely on his friends for business.C.Advertising can make customers believe it’s wonderful.D.A company can rely on its associates to survive.65.According to the passage,whether we go to a place or not d epends on .A.business fame B.media assistanceC.particular recognition D.associates’recommendation66.When you do an outstanding job in service,you w ill surely .A.make more money than you expectB.have a mutual understanding with your customersC.build a great reputation immediatelyD.earn your fame as well as advertise for your company67.The underlined word “defectionitis”probably means .A.service imperfection B.customers’ distrustC.customers’protection D.service advertisementDRalph and Norton can grow to be 40 feet long and live in a tank as large as a football field.What are they?They’re the only two whale sharks at a North American aquarium (水族馆).You can see Ralph and Norton at the world’s largest aquarium,the new Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta.The aquarium’s giant tanks hold eight million gallons of water and will be home to about 100,000 fish!The aquarium was designed to look like a giant ship breaking through the waves.It has 60 different habitats from the sea and five galleries ( 展馆),each with a different theme.About 2.4 million visitors are expected to come each year.“We want to be the world’s most engaging aquarium.” said Jeff Swanagan,the aquarium’s executive director.Ralph and Norton arrived in June,2005 from Taiwan.They were only 15 and 13 feet long,but they may grow to be more than 40 feet long!Whale sharks are the world’s largest fish.Three full-time vets will work there to make sure that Ralph,Norton,and all of the aquarium’s sea life stay healthy.Students from the University of Georgia will help run the aquarium and conduct research at the animal hospital.The aquarium was paid for almost completely by a $200 million gift from Berne Marcus,co-founder of the Home Depot Inc,and his wife,Billi.“It’s going to be the most unique aquarium in the world,”sai d Marcus.Marcus said the aquarium was a “thank you” note to the city of Atlanta and the State of Georgia,where the Home Depot first opened for business.68.According to this passage,Ralph and N orton are .A.polar bears B.whale sharks C.penguins D.dolphins69.The world’s largest aquarium located in .A.Los Angeles B.New York C.Atlanta D.Miami70.Which of the following is TRUE?A.The aquarium was designed to look like a giant shark.B.The aquarium’s giant tanks can hold eighteen million gallons of water.C.Ralph and Norton arrived in June,2005 from Japan.D.Marcus helped to build the aquarium to show his thanks to A tlanta.71.By saying “We want to be the world’s most engaging aquarium”,Jeff Swanagan means .A.the aquarium will attract a large number of visitorsB.the aquarium will be home to very special sea animalsC.the aquarium will be rebuilt and will be made even largerD.the aquarium will be the largest habitat for sea lifeEStarting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure ( 血压) under control,research suggests.Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs.The researchers,from the University of Alberta in Canada,showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes ( 酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as ACE inhibitors,drugs taken by millions around the world to lower blood pressure.Fried eggs proved particularly effective,but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.Earlier this month,British researchers declared that,contrary to popular beliefs,it is healthy to go to work on an egg.They concluded that the type of cholesterol ( 胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks.Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin,from the University of Surrey,said,“Th e wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected.The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amount of cholesterol found in eggs.The UK public do not need to limit the number of eggs they eat.They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature’s most nutritious foods.”The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit in 2005.However,almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies.72.From the text we know that ACE i nhibitors are .A.a kind of medicine B.a kind of proteinC.a kind of illness D.a kind of food73.According to what Professor B ruce said,eggs .A.are the most nutritious foodB.have no effect on blood cholesterolC.can be included in a healthy dietD.are forbidden to be eaten in the UK74.We can infer from the text that .A.drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggsB.stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseasesC.most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be droppedD.about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health75.The text is meant .A.to introduce scientific findings about eggsB.to introduce a medicine made from eggsC.to tell people how to lower their blood pressureD.to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible第三部分:写作(共两节,满分35 分)第一节短文改错(共10

Speak,speak,speak!Practise speaking as often as yon can--even speaking to yourself is good practice.Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version,see how you can do better and have another go.If yon do this severaltimes,you will find that each version is better than the last. Why not learn with someone else?It helps if you can learn with someone else. If yon can persuade a friend or family member to study with yon,it will make you keep working.Agree times to meet and set goals for the week,and test each other regularly.Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t knowPtactise improvising(即兴的)ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能地),even if yon don't know the exact words or phrases.Think of things yon might want to say whenever yon have spare time.A basic example is the rise of tenses.If you don't know the past tense but want to talk about yesterday,use the verb in the present tense and use the word for“yesterday”.Use facial expression,hand movements,anything to get your meaning across.Language learning is also about intuition(直觉)Guesswork is an important strategy in learning a new language.When listening to recorded material,yon aren’t expected to understand everything first time round.If you play the same piece several times,you will most probably understand something new each time.Learn to make maximum use of all the clues yon can pick up.For example,what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry? Calm? etc.Build up your vocabularyA wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don't try to le arn too mach at once.It’s best to study frequently,for short periods of time.Take a maximum ofsix or seven items of vocabulary and learn them.Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind,then come back to them later.Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic.And above all,have fun!()46.Why should one have himself recorded when practising speaking?A. To encourage others to startB. To record his own progress.C. To improve his speaking.D. To compare himself with others. ()47.Which of the following is the most important in learning Eng lish?A.Speaking.B.Pleasure.C.Intuition.D.V ocabulary. ()48.It is implied in the passage that is helpful when you are learning English.A.body languageB.a good memoryC.a good friendD.a proper dictionary()49.Which of the following proverbs(谚语) seems not to be always true inlearning a language?A.Practice makes perfect.B.A good beginning is half done.C.Rome is not built in a day.D.Don’t run before you can walk.BBy far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along ,doing a bit of this subject or that ,as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable .They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it ,or would have to change it frequently ,since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be .No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others .There are many who shy away from aself-controlled weekly timetable ,and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work .Many able students state that they work in cycles .When they become interested in a topic they workon it attentively for three or four days at a time .On other days they avoid work completely .It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation(动机)to work .Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine ,and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work .The “tough-mind ed” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally ,under the influence of inspiration(灵感).Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom” .Freedom from control and discipline(纪律)leads to unhappiness rather than to“sel f-expression” or “personality development” . Our society insists on regular habits ,timekeeping and punctuality (及时),and whether we like it or not ,if we mean to make our way in society ,we have to meet its demands.()50.The most widespread problem in applying oneself to studyis .A.changing from one subject to anotherB.the failure to keep to a set timetable of workC.the unwillingness to follow a systematic planD.working on a subject only when one feels like it()51.Which of the following is true?A.Many students are not interested in using aself-controlled timetable.B.Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed tim etable.C.Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.D.Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.()52.The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph 4 means .A. when they have the energyB. when they are in the moodC. when they feel fitD. when they find conditions suitable ()53.A suitable title for the passage might be .A. Attitudes to StudyB.A Study PlanC. The difficulties of StudyingD. Study and Self-disciplineCWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That wasa very clever thing you did.” or “You are su ch a smart child.”()54. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless()55. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use()56. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible()57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.DNo one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling. When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would come next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths. Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy. For more than that it provides food for thought. Just see how the Chinese wo men won the game ──by their co──operation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will. AChi nese saying goes, “When two competent opponents (竞赛的双方) meet, the strong ──minded one will win. “This is the spirit of the Chinese Wo men’s Volleyball Team. If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear ──minded in times of advantage (优势), then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has done, is doing and will do.()58. While watching the game, we _____.A. had feelings of different kindB. enjoyed a friendly and wonderful gameC. clapped and cheered only for the Chinese Women’s VolleyballTeamD. were eager to know what would happen later on()59. The wonderful game _____.A. brought us great joyB. provided us with food for our thoughtsC. gave us not only great joy but also food for thoughtsD. give us a valuable amusement()60. The author believed that _____.A. the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team was the strongestB. China was sure to become stronger and stronger if only we havethat spirit of the Chinese Wom en’s Volleyball TeamC. The Chinese must remain clear-minded in time of advantageD. The Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team never lost heart in timesof difficulty()61. The best title of the passage might be _____.A. Watching a Close Volleyball GameB. The Spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball TeamC. Learn from the Members of the Volleyball TeamD. The Strong ──Minded Are the WinnersEIf you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading:1. Knowing why you are reading—what you are reading to find out—will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news, and letters from friends, items, or bits of news from local, or hometown, paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow to fast, as you go along. You need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful readingswhen you come to important ideas which must be remembered.()62. According to the passage, your reading speed depends on ________.A. whether the reading material is easy or difficultB. what you are readingC. what your purpose in reading something isD. both B and C()63. If one wants to be relaxed by reading, one should take up ________.A. a story bookB. a book on science and technologyC. news, letters from friendsD. some material full of information ()64. Which of the following readings should you read slowly and carefully?A. Fairy tales.B. Aesop’s Fables.C. Directions for use of a machineD. An evening paper.()65. Which of the following can best express the mainidea of the passage?A. How to decide your reading speed.B. How to raise your reading speed.C. How to improve your reading skills.D. How to choose your reading materials.第三部分(共三节,满分55分)第一节:单词拼写(每小题1分,共10分)66.Rich people wanted to decorate their______(极好的) palaces and greathouses.67.He had a ______(偏爱)for Western paintings.68.We didn’t know how they ______(运送)these stones over 200moleswithout modern machines.69.Please fill in the ______(空格)with your own information.70.He became ______ (成瘾的)to cigarettes last year.71.She felt ______(腼腆的)of her body shape, so she decided to go on a diet.72.He gave a ______(一瞥)at his watch and then left..73.Y ou should cover the burned area with a dry, clean______(绷带).74.Most people are very ______(积极的)about the economic situation.75.It seemed that the driver is to ______(谴责) for the accident.其次节:短文改错(共10小题,每题1.5分,满分15分)此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

Paying attention to the following points can help us live healthier and longer.Bone healthIn childhood our bones are strong, and if they break, they can usually recover soon. When we get older, this process slows down, and our joints(关节)become weak. Lifestyle factors such as having a calcium-rich(富含钙的)diet can keep our bones healthy and reduce the risk of fracture(骨折). Enough sunlight exposure is also important to keep our bones strong.Staying socially activeFriends are important for a happy life, and they can help us live longer. Studies on loneliness have found that loneliness is a “hidden killed” of the elderly(老年人). Studies have also shown that people who get married live longer than those who are single. The researchers believe that those who get married have better social support networks.Avoiding junk foodA good diet is central to good health. Eating too much high-calorie(高热量的)food could lead to weight gain. Reducing salt intake(摄入)is important to keep our heart healthy, as eating too much salt could lead to high blood pressure. Besides, drinking too much can have devastating effects onour health. It not only leaves us uncomfortable the next day, but also causes long-term damage to the body’s organs.Benefits of exerciseThe pressures of job and family life can make us feel as if there’s little time to exercise. Aside from weight loss, there are many benefits of doing exercise: exercise means a healthier heart because it reduces the risks of high blood pressure and heart disease. Being physically active also helps us manage stress.40.

If so, please keep reading to learn more about yoga(瑜伽).Yoga seems like a hot new trend, but yoga actually began more than 3,000 years ago in India. The word yoga means “to unite mind, body and spirit”. Although yoga includes physical exercise, it is more of a lifestyle, while physical exercise is just a part of it. Training your mind, body and breath are the main goals of the yoga lifestyle. Yoga has lots of benefits. It can improve strength, balance and patience. In addition, many people who practice yoga say yoga can reduce anxiety and stress, and even help them sleep better.Many gyms and community centers offer yoga class. Your neighborhood may also have a yoga training center. Some yoga teachers offer private classes for students who want more professional training. You could also try using a yoga DVD. Websites, DVDs and books can’tcompare to learning yoga from a teacher, but can help you find out more. They can be especially helpful if you have already taken yoga classes and went to practice at home.Remember to dress some comfortable clothes that allow you to move your body fully. Shorts or pants and a T-shirt are good choices. Yoga is practiced with bare feet, so you don’t have to worry about special shoes. Before you begin any type of exercise program, it’s a good idea to talk to your doctor, especially if you have a health problem.44.
