Most from a century or so ago, they still entertain, teach, and inspire:Moby Dick by Herman MelvilleFirst published in 1851, the adventure stories of Captain Ahab and his monomaniacal(偏执的) pursuit of the white whale draws us into a universe full of fascinating characters and stories.The Education of Henry Adams by Henry AdamsAwarded the Pulitzer Prize in autobiography(自传) in 1918. Adams provides insight into his family, including his experience as private secretary to his father, minister to England during the American Civil War.Leaves of Grass by Walt WhitmanWhen Whitman published Leaves of Grass in 1855, he wanted to define the American experience—sing of the new country in a new voice, reflecting the great changes in the American literary world that had taken place during his lifetime.Poems by Emily DickinsonAn enthusiastic poet whose works have had considerable influence on modern poetry, Dickinson's frequent use of dashes, sporadic(零星的) capitalization of nouns, and unconventional metaphors have contributed to her reputation as one of the most innovative(创新的) poets of 19th-century American literature.The song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth LongfellowFirst published in 1855, this is Longfellow's most popular and most recognized poem, the heroic life and death of a magic American Indian, sent by the Great Spirit to guide the nations in the ways of peace.46. Walt Whitman wrote Leaves of Grass in order to .A. show his talent and heroic life to usB. give the American encouragement in a new voiceC. reflect the great changes in America that had taken place during hislifetimeD. praise America and show the great changes in the American literary world47. If you want to read a story about a magic American Indian, you can read .A. Moby DickB. Leaves of GrassC. PoemsD. The song of Hiawatha48. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Of the five books, Moby Dick was published last.B. The Education of Henry Adams is a non-fiction book.C. Because the five books were from a century or so ago, they couldn't teach and inspire us.D. Herman Melville was considered as one of the most innovative poets of the19th-century.BFollowed by an eagle, a rabbit took shelter in the nest of a beetle(甲虫), whom he begged to save him. The beetle felt pity for the rabbit and begged the eagle not to kill the poor creature. In the name of the great Jupiter, the beetle requested that the eagle respect his intercession(说情) and the laws of kindness even though he was nothing but a tiny insect. However, the eagle became very angry and drove the beetle away with his wing. In cold blood he caught the rabbit and ate him up right on the spot.When the eagle flew away, the beetle followed him to find out where his nest was. Then he entered and rolled the eagle's eggs out, breaking them one by one. Very sad and angry to think that anyone would do such a terrible thing, the eagle built his next nest in a higher place. But there, too, the beetle managed to get to it and destroyed the eggs as he had done before.The eagle now didn't know what to do. So he flew up to Jupiter, his god and king, and placed the third nest of eggs in his lap, begging him to guard them for him. However, the beetle made a little ball of dirt and flew up with it to Jupiter and dropped it on his lap. When Jupiter saw the dirt, he stood up rightaway to shake it off, forgetting the eggs, which were again broken as they rolled off his lap. The beetle now informed Jupiter that he had done this to take revenge on (报复) the eagle, who had not only wronged him, but had acted with little respect for Jupiter himself. Therefore, when the eagle returned, Jupiter told him that the beetle broke his eggs and that his complaint was not without good reasons. However, Jupiter did not want the race of eagles to face extinction, so he advised the beetle to arrange a peaceful settlement with him. But the beetle would not agree to this, and Jupiter had to change the eagle's reproduction(繁殖) time to another season when there are no beetles to be seen.49. We learn from the first paragraph that the beetle was .A. sympatheticB. confidentC. nervousD. intelligent50. Why did the eagle build his next nest in a higher place?A. To spot small animals easily.B. To stay away from the beetle.C. To protect his eggs from danger.D. To stay closer to his god Jupiter.51. Jupiter thought that the beetle's revenge on the eagle was .A. unnecessaryB. understandableC. too lateD. too light52. The conflict in the story was mainly caused by .A. the rabbitB. the beetleC. the eagleD. the eggsCTraditional fairy tales are being abandoned by parents because they are too scary for their young children, a study has found.A research has discovered one in five parents has given up old classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Rapunzel in favour of more modern books. One third of parents say their children have been left in tears after hearing the horrible details of Little Red Riding Hood. And nearly half of mothers and fathers refuse to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids as the themes of the story are kidnapping and killing. Similarly, Goldilocks and the Three Bears is also a tale likely to be left on the book shelf as parents feel it forgives stealing.The survey of 2,000 adults was completed to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM, which starts tonight at 9 p.m. on Watch, and sees six drama seriesbased on traditional fairy tales. The survey has found a quarter of parents polled will not consider reading a fairy tale to their children until they have reached the age of five, as they have to face too many awkward questions from their children.Steve Hornsey, General Manager, Watch, said, “Bedtime stories are supposed to soothe children and send them off to sleep soundly. But as we see in GRIMM, some fairy tales can be dark and dramatic tales so it' s understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children. As adults, we can see the innocence in fairy tales, but a five-year-old child would take them too seriously. Despite the dark nature of some classic fairy tales, as we see in GRIMM, good will defeat evil and there is always a moral to the story.”The study also shows two thirds of mums and dads try to avoid stories which might give their children nightmares. However, half of parents think traditional tales are more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of modern kids' books, such as The Gruffalo, The Hungary Caterpillar and the Mr. Men books.53. We can learn from Para. 3 that GRIMM is .A. a fairy tale bookB. a movie for childrenC. a play loved by childrenD. a drama based on traditional fairy tales54. The underlined word “soothe” in Para. 4 can be replaced by “”.A. put downB. calm downC. take downD. come down55. Which of the following may Steve Hornsey agree to?A. A moral always exists in a classic fairy tale.B. All fairy tales are dark.C. Adults take fairy tales too seriously.D. All fairy tales are good for children's sleep.56. What's the author's attitude towards traditional fairy tales?A. Optimistic.B. Not mentioned.C. Casual.D. Disapproving.DFor most of his life, Daniel Defoe worked as a businessman. However, when he was 60, he wrote something that was a great success. It was Robinson Crusoe, the first novel in English literature.Why do we say that Robinson Crusoe was the first novel in English literature? Novels are full-length invented stories. But even if the events and people in the story are invented, they are described in a way that makes them seem real. Before Robinson Crusoe, nobody in English literature had written a story like that. In Robinson Crusoe, Defoe describes Robinson's adventures in great detail. It seems that the writer is talking to the reader. In the early 18th century, most writers wrote in a complex style that was very different from the way people talked. Critics at the time didn't like the style of Robinson Crusoe. They didn't understand that Defoe had created something new in literature.Robinson Crusoe is not only an exciting story but also a great novel. It makes the reader think about important questions about life. One interesting idea in the book is about the relationship between individuals and society. Robinson lives alone on an island. He is free to live any way he wants, but he chooses to live as a civilized man. Another interesting idea in the book is how people need one another in society. On the island, there is nobody to help Robinson. He has to do everything himself. He has to learn how to be a builder, a farmer and how to make clothes and shoes. This experience teaches Robinson how we all need the help of experts. The idea of value is also discussed in the book. When Robinson goes back to the sunken ship, looking for things that could be useful, he picks up some gold and says, "This is no use to me." He understands that something has value only if it is useful.Robinson Crusoe was the first novel in English literature. It was also the first best-seller. When he wrote the story, Defoe changed English literature for ever.57. What was Daniel Defoe probably famous as in his life according to the passage?A. A businessman.B. A builder.C. A farmer.D. A novelist.58. Which statement is NOT right about the novel Robinson Crusoe?A. It's the first full-length novel in English literature.B. The events and people in the story are all real.C. The story was about a person's adventures on an island.D. Critics at that time didn't like the style of the story.59. What's the main idea of the third paragraph in this passage?A. The three ideas written in the novel Robinson Crusoe.B. How Robinson lived on the lonely island.C. The readers' opinions about the character Robinson.D. How we can live on an island alone.60. Why did the author say Robinson Crusoe was the first novel in English literature?A. Because it was a great success.B. Because nobody wrote a story like it before.C. Because it makes the readers think about what is useful to us.D. Because it was the first best-seller then.61. The main purpose of the text is to tell us .A. Daniel Defoe and his first novel in English literatureB. Robinson was a brave man living on a lonely islandC. something has value when it is useful to usD. Defoe changed the English literature by selling his novels答案一、适当形式填空(单句适当形式)1. adaptation2. hesitation3. uncomfortable4. properly5. remarks二、单词拼写(根据中文提示拼写单词)6. troublesome7. extraordinary8. status9. overlooked10. fades三、单词拼写(单句首字母填空)11. mistaken12. horrible13. fortune14. robbed15. compromise四、单项选择16.

unit4PygmalionⅠ.阅读理解ASleep is a basic human need, as basic as the need for oxygen.Getting a good night’s sleep is not only directly related to howwe feel the next day, but to our longterm health as well. Still,many of us suffer from at least occasional insomnia (失眠). Even more of us report at least one night of restless sleep per week that leaves us feeling ill and irritable. This is a serious problem. If you think otherwise, consider this. People who sleep four hours or less per night are twice as likely not to survive in six years as those who sleep the normal eight hours or so.Given the seriousness of sleep, how can we make sure that we rest well and stay healthy? While there are no one hundred percent reliable methods, here are some suggestions from sleep experts. If you do have trouble sleeping and these methods don’t help, it’s important that you see a doctor before insomnia causes your health to suffer. Start with these suggestions, though.●If you can’t sleep in the middle of the night, don’t get up. Exposing yourself to bright light will affect your body clock and worsen your insomnia.●Avoid naps (小睡), except for a brief tentofifteenminute nap between 2：00 and 4：00 pm.●Get regular exercise each day, but finish at least six hours befo re bedtime. Exercising in the evening can help keep you awake.●Take a hot bath for thirty minutes within two hours of bedtime. The bath will warm you, relax you, and make you feel sleepy.●Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and well ventilated (通风的)．●Keep a regular schedule seven days a week. Sleeping late on the weekends can lead to insomnia during the week.●Get at least half an hour of sunlight within thirty minutes of waking. Without the sunlight, your body doesn’t know it’s awake.●Keep the face of t he clock in your bedroom turned away, and don’t find out what time it is when you awaken in the night.Pleasant Dreams!语篇解读：睡眠无小事，但怎样才能睡好呢？本文给出了很多好办法。

While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometres away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced(影响) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.50. Why was the bike so important to the couple?A. The man’s job was bike racing.B. It was their only possession(财产).C. It was nice Kona 18 speed.D. They used it for work and daily life.51. We can infer from the text that____________.A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.B. people were busy before Christmas.C. the stranger brought over the bike.D. life was hard for the young family.52. H ow did people get to know the couple’s problem?A. From radio broadcasts.B. From a newspaper.C. From TV news.D. From a stranger.53. What do the couple learn their experience?A. Strangers are usually of little help.B. One should take care of their bike.C. News reports make people famous.D.

The fact that a child picks up a language 39 is surprising: at one year old, a child is able to 40 "bye-bye"; at two, he is able to use fifty words; by three he begins to 41 tenses. The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky 42 that human beings have a sort of built-in system for language use, and that the 43 is only secondary. Children are not taught language 44 they are taught arithmetic. Other linguists, 45 , hold the view that a child learns 46 of his language from the hints in the environment. 47 , theorists of both schools 48 that there is a biological basis for language and language use. The 49 is which is more important, the inner ability or the environment. This is certainly a field 50 to be explored. Researchers from both schools are busy finding evidence to 51 their own theory, but 52 side is persuading the other. It seems that in order to 53 why a child learns a language so easily, we have to 54 the joint efforts of both schools. Some linguists, like De Villiers, have recognized the value of cooperation, and 55 linguists of both sides to work together.36. A. Surprisingly B. Personally C. Properly D. Roughly37.

A. ordered B. criticized C. challenged D. urgedIII 阅读理解AThe human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us to adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn't know what's happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture (折磨) is based on the human body being open to pain.But there is a way to handle pain. kook at the Indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude towards it. ff the dentist says, "This will hurt a little," it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.56. What does the writer mean by saying "we pay for our sensitivity'" in the first paragraph?A. We have to take care of our sense of' pain.B. We suffer from our sense of feeling.C. We should try hard to resist pain.D. We are hurt when we feel pain.57. When the author mentions' file Indian fakir, he shows that _________.A. fakirs possess magic powerB. Indians are not afraid of painC. people can learn to cope with painD. some people are born without a sense of pain58. What is essential for people to stand pain according to the writer?A. Their relaxation.B. Their interest.C. Their nerves.D. Their attitude.59. The author believes that _________.A. feeling pain is part of our lifeB. pain should be avoided at all costsC. feeling pain can be an interesting thingD. magic power is essential for reducing painBThe eight airlines of the Oneworld alliance (联盟) have joined forces to give world travelers a simple way to plan and book a round-the-world journey. It's called theOneworld Explorer program.Oneworld Explorer is the perfect solution for a once-in-a-lifetime holiday or an extended business trip. It's a great way for you to explore the four corners of the earth in the safe hands of the eight Oneworld airlines.You can have hundreds of destinations to choose from, because the Oneworld network covers the globe. And as you travel around the world, you'll have the support of 260,000 people from all our airlines, who are devoted to the success of ),our journey, helping you make smooth transfers and offering support all along the way.The Oneworld goal is to make global travel easier and more rewarding for every one of our travelers.

You'll find more people and more information to guide you at every stage of your trip, making transfers smoother and global travel less of a challenge.60. The Oneworld Explorer program is said to be most suitable for those who _____.A. have been to the four comers of the earthB. travel around the world on businessC. want to explore the eight airlinesD. need support all along the way61. The advantage of the alliance lies in ________.A. its detailed travel informationB. its unique booking systemC. its longest business flightsD. its global service network62. We can learn from the last paragraph that Oneworld __________.A. offers the lowest prices to its passengersB. keeps passengers better informed of its operationsC. offers better services than any of its member airlines aloneD. is intended to make round-the-world trips more challenging63. The propose of the advertisement is to ___________.A. promote a special flight programB. recommend a long business tripC. describe an alliance flightD. introduce different airlinesCI recently wrote an autobiography in which I recalled many old memories. One of them was from my school day's, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from the Reader's Digest to test our vocabulary.Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out "It pays to Enrich your Word Power" first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Reader's Digest knows the power that words have to move people —to entertain, inform, and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isn't always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: "Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk." Seventeen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey! That's usually how it is with Reader's Digest. Small and simple can be profound. As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I've been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like "hope", "guts", "faith", "dreams". Those am words that move people andsay' so much about the spirit of America.Don't get me wrong. I'm not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracle — if it's the right word, in the right place, at the right time. It's a "secret" that I hope I never forget.64. The passage is mainly about _______.A. one of the many old memoriesB. using simple words to express profound ideasC. Reader's Digest and school speechesD. how to make effective speeches65. It seems that Reader's Digest is a magazine popular with _________.A. people of all agesB. teenagersC. school teachersD. elderly readers66. The author's "secret" is _________.A. to avoid using big words at any timeB. to use words that have the power to move peopleC. to work a miracle by using a small wordD. to use small and simple words where possible67. According to the author, well-chosen words can give people ________.A. hope, courage, and ideasB. confidence, determination, and strengthC. pleasure, knowledge, and encouragementD. entertainment, information, and powerDThere are two kinds of memory: short-mm and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate (中等), and native speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording, Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning's results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.68. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long, term memory.D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.69. From Henning's result we can see that ________.A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB. advanced students always remember words by their meaningC. it is difficult to remember words that sound alikeD. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning70. The word "subject" in the passage means _________.A. memoryB. the theme of listening materialC. a branch of knowledge studiedD. the student experimented on71. The passage centers on ________.A. memoryB. two kinds of memoryC. short-term memoryD. an experiment on studentsESuccessful innovations (改革) have driven many older technologies to extinction (灭绝) and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand of raw materials and the speed of flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use for each person. The history of industrial development has a great number of examples.In 1870, homes and mules were the prime source of power on U.S. farmers. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings, a ratio (比率) that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological mm of mind. Had they been "economists", they would probably have projected the 1970 home or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been "technologists", they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed (受……约束) to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the home and mule population would decline rapidly.72. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a consequence of new technological developments?A. Older technologies die away.B. The quality of life is improved.C. Overall productivity increase.D. More raw materials become necessary.73. It can be inferred from the passage that by 1870 ________.A. technology began to be more economicalB. the steam engine had not been inventedC. the U.S. horse population was about 10 millionD. a national commission on agriculture had been established74. In the second paragraph, the author suggests that "economists" would ________.A. plan the economy through yearly forecastsB. fail to consider the influence of technological innovationC. value the economic contribution of farm animalsD. consult the national commission on the economy75. What is the author's attitude towards changes brought on by technological innovations?A. He is excited about themB. He accepts them as naturalC. He is disturbed by themD. He questions their usefulnessIV 短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

satisfaction.“Perfect！”I said.“Now，all I have to do is to keep the dogs off of it.” I went about setting up barriers(障碍)using old fence，broken chairs，flowerpots，and anything I could find so as to avoid footprints both on the oil paint and our carpet.It worked perfectly.Just before returning to the house and to a much needed shower，I took one last look at this fine work of art.“What is that？”I said.“Where did that come from？”Clearly marked and evenly spaced across the entire area，I found tiny marks running in straight lines.I carefully stepped to our flower garden.It was there I found several of the small markings.Now，almost frozen in place by this stunning(令人震惊的)discovery，I remained in position so as to prevent further damaging my work.Just then，off to my left，it appeared.A chipmunk(花栗鼠)．He was as stunned as I was.We stood there face to face looking at each other，wondering who would make the first move.The warm，wet air was now getting the best of me.Sweat now ran freely over my head，and in poor timing(适时)into my eyes.I reached up to rub them and when I opened my eyes he was gone.My only satisfaction was in thinking that when he returned home he tracked oily footprints into his own home.And，hoping he was married，his wife would not let him live it down for the rest of his life.I stood up，shook my head，and laughing about it all walked into my house.Yes，I

What is the text mainly about?A．Arthur Miller and his family.B．The awards Arthur Miller won.C．The hardship Arthur Miller experienced.D．Arthur Miller and his bestknown play.CToday，we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare.He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries，which remain very popular today.During earlier times，people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays.It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works.For example，in Shakespeare's play “The Comedy of Errors”，Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus.For his play “Macbeth”，Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information.Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers，but the intensity of his imagination and language made the plays his own.While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten，Shakespeare and his art live on.Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him.He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays.His works include observations about political struggles，the fear of diseases，and the popular language of the city's tradesmen.Shakespeare's knowledge of the English countryside is also clear.His works include descriptions of deep forests，local flowers，and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare's works have influenced the world culture.But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language.During his time，the English language was changing.Many new words from other languages were being added.Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic (富诗意的) inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones.For example，he created the noun forms of “critic” ，“mountaineer” and “eyeball”．Many common expressions in English come from his plays，including “pomp and circumstance(隆重的仪式)” from “Othello” ，“full circle (绕圈子)” from “King Lear”，etc.The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless.From paintings to television to music and dance，Shakespeare was well represented.Shakespeare's plays have been translated intoevery major language in the world.Shakespeare became a wellknown writer during a golden age of theater.His years of hard work paid off.44．What can we infer from the passage?A．Many of Shakespeare's works were influenced by earlier writings.B．Shakespeare was hardworking when he was a student.C．The experience of living in London helped a lot with Shakespeare's works.D．Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.45．Shakespeare might have learnt some information from ancient Roman works in________.A．“King Lear”B．“The Comedy of Errors”C．“Macbeth” D．“Othello”46．Shakespeare's greatest influence should be on ________.A．the English languageB．paintingsC．televisionD．music and dance47．The passage is mainly about________.A．an introduction to Shakespeare's life and his worksB．the main features and styles of Shakespeare's playsC．how culture influenced Shakespeare and he influenced cultureD．Shakespeare's greatest influence on the world cultureDWhether you're studying for a test，reviewing paperwork for your job，or trying to understand a journal article，reading comprehension is involved in.Unfortunately，when the reading material is difficult，our reading comprehension cansuffer.Learning to comprehend what you read can help you prevent wasting time as well as make you more productive(富有成效的) on the job or at school.The things you already know are important for understanding things you're going to learn.Before you begin reading something on a new topic，think about what you already know about it and how what you are reading might build upon that.Since kindergarten，we've all been told to keep a dictionary nearby when reading，but few of us follow this advice.If you are not absolutely certain of the meaning of a word，look it up.You'll not only make reading easier；you'll also improve yourvocabulary.If you are reading especially challenging material，try taking notes.If you write while you are reading，reading will become boring and your comprehension will go downhill.Instead，make an outline at the end of each paragraph or sentence.Someone thinks that speed reading is very popular，and certainly has its place.However，from my point of view，it's a terrible idea if you want to learn.Besides，speed reading will cost you more time because you will have to go back and review if you understand what you have read quickly.Focus on quality reading rather than quick reading，and take frequent breaks if you begin to get distracted(注意力分散的)．When reading something boring，it's easy to just read the words without even understanding what they mean.At such times，just find a way to relate to the material.Write down questions，and look up concepts online to get alternative perspectives.Your comprehension will improve and you'll be less likely to need to reread.48．The passage is intended to teach students how to ________.A．form good study habitsB．take notes when reading booksC．improve reading comprehensionD．treat their reading homework properly49．The author suggests that when reading books we should ________.A．refuse to use a dictionaryB．think about what we knowC．pay more attention to new topicsD．practise speed reading first50. According to the passage，what's the author's attitude towards speed reading?A．Curious. B．Positive.C．Unconcerned. D．Opposed.51. What should we do if we come across some boring materials?A．Ignore new words.B．Make every effort to understand it.C．Read it without understanding.D．Ask for help from others.E(2013·新课标全国卷Ⅰ)Some people will do just about anything to save money.And I am one of them.Take my family's last vacation.It was my sixyearold son's winter break from school，and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip.The flight was overbooked，and Delta，the airline，offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day.I had meetings in New York，so I had to get back.But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay.I took my ninemonthold and took off for home.The next day，my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight.Yes，I encouraged—okay，ordered—them to wait it out at the airport to “earn”more Delta Dollars.Our total take：$1,600.Not bad，huh?Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either.But as a bigtime bargain hunter，I know the value of a dollar.And these days，a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks.I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade.I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade：A Consumer Survival Guide.And I really do what I believe in.I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth.I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes，clothes for my children，and expensive restaurants.But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut.It keeps its shape longer，and it's the first thing people notice.And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture.Quality lasts.52．Why did Delta give the author's family credits?A．Their flight had been delayed.B．They had early bookings.C．They took a later flight.D．Their flight had been cancelled.53．What can we learn about the author?A．She is very strict with her children.B．She seldom makes a compromise.C．She rarely misses a good deal.D．She is interested in cheap products.54．What does the author do?A．She's a teacher.B．She's a housewife.C．She's a media person.D．She's a businesswoman.55．What does the author want to tell us?A．How to expose bad tricks.B．How to reserve airline seats.C．How to spend money wisely.D．How to make a business deal.Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)How to Make the Most of Your TimeTime management is important in our daily life. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to accomplish all you need to do. Here are some tips that might be of some help to you.1. Set up a plan.Go for a week at a time，and decide the most important ones.Include things you should accomplish.Focus mostly on the things that are important to you.2. Control your stress.No matter what kind of pressure mounts on you，try to keep cool.Stressing out can lead to an early breakdown，which is definitely counterproductive when you have a list of things to do.It's easier to take a 10minute break and cool off than to work all week with stress.3．Shut your door.When working under a schedule，perform your important tasks with your door shut to get them done.This will ensure a better quality time to get what needs to be done.4．Focus on one thing at a time.Forget trying to multitask！You will lose concentration，and it will take you longer to accomplish what you set out to do.5．Just say “no”．If you are constantly interrupted，and you really don't have the time to help out，just say “no”．You're only one person，and you can't save the world by yourself!6．Stop wasting time on the phone.While talking on the phone，keep your conversations short，and to the point and you'll waste much less time.7. Be realistic.You can only do what you can do.Don't set out to accomplish the impossible.Do your best，but keep realistic expectations of yourself.8. Relax.The most important thing is to remember to take time to relax，and regroup.You need a break every now and then to keep working efficiently.Even if it'sa 10minute walk，get away from your list and get refreshed.As families today get busier and busier，it's important to your own mental health to keep things on track.Don't delay；get your life in order now.皮革马利翁效应说了“暗示”的作用，暗示在本质上是人的情感和观念不同程度地受到别人下意识的影响，人们会不自觉地接受自己喜欢、钦佩、信任和崇拜的人的影响和暗示，而这种暗示正是让你梦想成真的基石之一。

Learn Different Kinds of EnglishD. Practise English in Different WaysB篇It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While mostpeople were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometres away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced(影响) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.50. Why was the bike so important to the couple?A. The man’s job was bike racing.B. It was their only possession(财产).C. It was nice Kona 18 speed.D. They used it for work and daily life.51. We can infer from the text that____________.A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.B. people were busy before Christmas.C. the stranger brought over the bike.D. life was hard for the young family.52. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?A. From radio broadcasts.B. From a newspaper.C. From TV news.D. From a stranger.53. What do the couple learn their experience?A. Strangers are usually of little help.B. One should take care of their bike.C. News reports make people famous.D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.1-5 A BAAC6-10 CAADB11-15 BBCDB16-20 BAADB21-25CCBBD 26—45 DBABC DBADD BCCAA BBCBC46-53 DCBA DDBD。
