Once一、阅读理解AMy idea of perfect childhood memory is one in which the person remembers the event clearly as if it happened yesterday and remembers it as being a happy time. Of all my memories I have one that I would consider a perfect childhood memory.In my neighborhood there is a large lake with a small island in the center of it for as long as I could rembmer. It had been every child's dream to get to it, It was to be our greatest adventure. We named it Alligator Island, because of the alligators(鳄鱼) that were removed to live on the island and in the surrounding lake.One day when I was about 10 years old, I was helping my friend Erika clean out her garage and we discovered a blow-up raft(皮筏). Naturally we had to wonder if it would stay a float in the water, so we decided to blow it up and find out. After a few hours of taking expelling the wind from our lungs, the rubber boat was finally ready to test. We took it to the pool and some enough, it did float. Immediately we began making plans to visit Alligator Island with our new means of transportation.We decided to ask Erika's brother and another of our friends to come with us. Since the lake was across the street from Erika's house, we did not have to pull theraft far and soon we were on our way to the island.About halfway to A1 we began to get nervous about the possibility of alligators really being in the lake and we tried to turn around, but none of us knew how to use the paddles very well. After a fow attempts, we realized how silly we were and continued onward. When we finally did reach the small land mass, it was not anything special. Just a few trees, some dirt, and insects. But the excitement and pleasure of actually achieving our goal were al we needed.Noodless to say, we were the envy of the neighborhood for quite some time. This is my perfect childhood memory and it is something I doubt I will ever forget for as long as I live.56.

Alligator IslandBThe most exciting kind of education is also the most personal. Nothing can exceed（胜过）the joy of discovering for yourself something that is important to you! It may be an idea or a bit of information you come across accidentally or a sudden understanding, fitting together pieces of information or working through a problem. Such personal encounters are the “payoff” in e ducation. A teacher may direct you to learning and even encourage you in it — but no teacher can make the excitement orthe joy happen. That's up to you.A research paper, assigned in a course and perhaps checked at various stages by an instructor, leads you beyond classrooms, beyond the texts for classes and into a process where the joy of discovery and learning can come to you many times. Preparing the research paper is an active and individual（个人的）process, and an ideal learning process. It provides a structure within which you can make exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self, which are basic to education. The research paper also gives you a chance to individualize a school assignment, to suit a piece of work to your own interests and abilities, to show others what you can do. Writing a research paper is more than a classroom exercise. It is an experience in searching out, understanding and synthesizing, which forms the basis of many skills applicable to both academic and nonacademic tasks. It is, in the fullest sense, a discovering, an education. So, to produce a good research paper is both a useful and a thoroughly satisfying experience!To some, the thought of having to write an assigned number of pages, often more than ever produced before, is disconcerting. To others, the very idea of having to work independently is threatening. But there is no need to approach paper assignment with anxiety, and nobody should view the research paper as an obstacle to overcome. Instead, consider it a goal to accomplish, a goal within reach if you use the help this passage can give you.61. According to the writer, personal discoveries ________.A. will give one encouragement and directionB. are helpful in finding the right informationC. are the most valuable part of one's personal educationD. will help one to successfully complete school assignments62. It can be inferred from the passage what writing a research paper gives one chances ________.A. to fully develop one's personal abilitiesB. to practice the skills learnt in the classroomC. to prove that one is a productive writerD. to show how well one can accomplish school assignments63. From the c ontext, the word “disconcerting” (Para 3) most probably means ________.A. interestingB. upsettingC. challengingD. disappointing64. The writer thinks that ________.A. one should explore new areas in researchB. one should trust one's ability to meet course requirementsC. one should use one's knowledge and skills when doing researchD. one should consider research paper writing a pleasure, not a burden65. What will probably follow this passage?A. How to write a research paper.B. The importance of research in education.C. How to make new discoveries for oneself.D. The skill of putting pieces of information together.CAn old friend from California, who was going to spend a few days with me, called from the airport to tell me that he had arrived. I was not able to leave the office, but I had made plans for his arrival. After explaining where my new house was, I told him that I had left the key under the doormat(门前的擦鞋棕垫). Since I knew it would be pretty late before I could get home, I suggested that he make himself at home and help himself to anything that was in the refrigerator(冰箱).Two hours later my friend called me from the house. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having a good meal. He had found two eggs and some cold chicken in the refrigerator.

He was very gifted and had a natural ability to design buildings. His buildings were not only beautiful, but they were also practical and useful. They fit their purposes very well. Wright’s churches, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel comfortable at home. However, Fank Lloyd Wright’s beautiful, practical and useful buildings are not the only reason that he is famous.There is another reason.Frank Lloyd Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wright’s buildings do n ot look like old European buildings. They have their own style. Wright’s ideas about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wright’s Style of Architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it . His houses are often called “grass-land houses” because their lines are similar to the lines on the grassland. Both the lines of the grassland and the lines of Wright’s house are parallel（平行的）to the horizon, the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, in contrast, have many vertical lines that form 90°angles with the horizon.71. Frank Lloyd Wright’s style in architecture was _________.A. learned from some European countriesB. not only limited to the U.SC. no longer popularD. somewhat similar to the European style72. Which of the following best describes the character of the houses that Wright designed?A. They were very large and beautiful.B. They were very comfortable.C. They could be used as churches.D. They were beautiful in design but not practical in use.73. What’s the most important idea in Wright’s style?A. Architectural design should match natural surroundings.B. A building must have grassland around it.C. American style in architect should be different from the European’sD. Design should be more important than use.74. Which of the following is NOT true about Wright’s “grass-land houses”?A. The lines of “grass-land hou ses” are similar to lines on the grassland.B. The lines of “grass-land houses” are horizontal.C. The color of the lines of “grass-land houses” is green.D. They are different from European style houses.75. The best title for this passage would be _________.A.
