第三题阅读理解（共20题每题2分）

A

Let children learn to judge their own work．A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking．He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use．Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s．In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle…They compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes．But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself．We do it all for him．We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake．If it is a matter in mathematics or science, give him the answer book．Let him correct his own papers．Why should we teachers waste time in such routine(日常的) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer．Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what he does not know.

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco．There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater．With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines．I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time．As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco．City life had become too much for me．

As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold．I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers(抢劫犯)．Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.[

About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me．I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun．The street was empty．All I saw was a shining streetlight．Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster．Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been．It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore．I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise．Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck(垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me．When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming．How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes．“Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.

It was nearly 3 a.m．by the time I got into bed．I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back．I also had got back some enjoyment of city life．I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

46．How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?

When I met him，I had a lot of anger inside of me．I‘ve lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem，but in my neighborhood，there are shoot-ups all the time．I know kids who have been shot or beaten up．I have friends who ended up in prison．I could have ended up that way，too，but Mr．Clark wouldn’t let that happen.

Mr．Clark worked long hours，making sure I did my work．My grades rose．In fact，the scores of our whole class rose．One day，he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera，and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem．Before the show，he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full．We did not want to let him down.

Mr．Clark was selected as Disney‘s Teacher of the Year．He said he would draw three names out of a hat；those students would go with him to Los Angles to get the award．But when the time came to draw names，Mr．Clark said，“You’re all going.”

On graduation day，there were a lot of tears．We didn‘t want his class to end．In ，he moved to Atlanta，but he always kept in touch．He started giving lectures about education，and wrote a bestselling book based on his classroom rules，The Essential 55．In ，Mr．Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit orphanages （孤儿院）。It was the most amazing experience of my life．It’s now my dream to one day start a group of women‘s clubs，

helping people from all backgrounds.

D

Malaria, the world's most widespread parasitic（寄生虫引起的）disease, kills as many as three million people every year—almost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African．In most years, more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people don't （or can't）seek care．It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer works．In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long.

Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often, headaches．As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body．Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect （感染）．They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain．If it doesn't kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years．The disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of parasite．Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earth—and one of the most successful．Malaria has five thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control．Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations．Some of the disease's spread is due to global warming.

For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine, a chemical which is very cheap and easy to make．Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria parasites have become resistant to it．Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available, but they have been in short supply and are very expensive．If these drugs should fail, nobody knows what would come next.

56．According to paragraph 1, many people don't seek care because___.

A．they are too poor

B．it is unusual to seek care

C．they can remain unaffected for long

D．there are too many people suffering from the disease

57．People suffering from malaria___.

A．have to kill female mosquitoes B．have ability to defend parasites

C．have their red blood cells infected D．have sudden fever, followed by chills 58．Which of the following may be the reason for the wide spread of the disease?

A．Its resistance to global warming.

B．Its ability to pass on the virus frequently.

C．Its outbreaks in cities with large populations.

D．Its ability to defend itself and resist new drugs.

59．It can be inferred from the passage that___.

A．no drugs have been found to treat the disease

B．the alternative treatment is not easily available to most people

C．malaria has developed its ability to resist parasites

D．nobody knows what will be the drug to treat the disease

60．Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the passage?

A．How can we know one is suffering from malaria?

B．How many people are killed by malaria each year?

C．Why are there so many people suffering from malaria?

D．What has been done to keep people unaffected for long?

第六题书面表达

One possible version:

The activity of being a good student and good citizen has been held since the beginning of this term in our school．Everybody has taken an active part in it.

In the past, we didn’t have the habit of keeping our classroom and campus tidy and even threw waste anywhere．We weren’t polite enough to our teachers and sometimes forgot to greet them．While doing some shopping or waiting for a bus, some of us jumped the queue instead of obeying the rules．But now everyone is willing to do cleaning and sort the waste before throwing it into dustbins．Everybody has respect for our teachers and helps them with something．In public places, we try to wait in line and offer seats to the old on the bus.

What great changes have taken place! We do hope every student can keep it up
