If you are reading this article, you are probably trying to read it quickly. You have been taught to skim and scan, to look for key words so as to understand the main idea of the article and the important points in the article.

Skimming and scanning is a good method when you don't have enough 75 , such as when you are taking an exam, but, today, many people skim and scan everything and they have lost the ability to enjoy reading.

In response to this, something called the "slow reading movement" has become popular. The idea is that people should 76 their computers and mobile phones for half an hour or forty-five minutes each day and enjoy the pleasure of reading a good book---slowly and quietly!

Researchers have found that reading slowly, especially books of fiction, helps people relax and think about what they are reading. It also helps people get to understand the characters' emotions andto see the world 77 the characters' eyes.

Reading, of course, isn't easy. You have to sit still for one thing. And it can seem 78 when compared to the excitement of playing video games. But, for me, reading has always been a pleasure in my life. From the age of ten, when I got my first library card, I've enjoyed the company (陪伴) of heroes, of evil criminal and clever detectives, of thousands of interesting people I would have never met 79 . Reading provided me with escape, but it also enabled me to understand the world around me. It was an education in a classroom that had no walls.

In your classroom, you have learned to read "fast." 80 , outside of the classroom, you should try to learn to read "slow." You may be surprised at how much you enjoy it.

75. A) confidence B) time C) memory D) support

76. A) care for B) deal with C) turn off D) take out

77. A) through B) with C) into D) around\

78. A) strange B) interesting C) boring D) attractive

79. A) in the book B) on the Internet C) at school D) in real life

80. A) For example B) Finally C) However D) What's more

C) Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的

词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):（14分）

In March of 1999, Edie and Sarah began hiking(徒步旅行) the Appalachian Trail in Georgia. Sarah was a teacher, she and Edie thought their hike would be an interesting learning experience for students. Before they set off, they visited classrooms for two weeks. Students had the chance to try on a bag to see how much w 81 Sarah and Edie would be carrying during the trip. Students were also able to ask Sarah and Edie questions about the trail. Sarah and Edie planned to post photos and diaries on the Internet during the trip so that the students would be able to check on their p 82 .

Before they left, Sarah and Edie packed 18 boxes with things they need like biscuits, noodles, peanut butter, and dried fruits and vegetables. Their parents would mail the boxes to small towns

a 83 the trail so Sarah and Edie could pick them up wherever they go. That way, Sarah and Edie did not have to carry all their supplies (补给) with them from the beginning of the trip.

Sarah and Edie met plenty of friendly hikers during their trip. People who are hiking the Appalachian Trail often create "trail names" for t 84 and their friends. That explains why Sarah and Edie met hikers with names like "Cold Feet" and "Baked Beans"!

There are many shelters. Hikers can stay there overnight, especially in times of bad weather. There are also books called Registers(签到本) at many of the shelters. Hikers can sign the books and leave n 85 for friends they have made, giving them some information or just saying "Hi".

Sarah and Edie met with all kinds of weather on their hike. They had days of beautiful clear weather, but they also hiked through rainstorms. S 86 the weather was so hot that they had to drink a lot of water.

When Sarah and Edie were in Virginia, there was a forest fire. They had to wait until it was

c 87 safe to go on. Because of a fire in Shenandoah National Forest, they misse

d a 45-mil

e o

f the hike. Later in their trip, Sarah and Edie had to ask someone to drive them back there so they would not miss a single mile of the AT!

Four and a half months after they began the hike in Georgia, Sarah and Edie finally succeeded at Mount Katahdin in Maine.

D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）

I'd always dreamed of visiting Africa, ever since I read my first Tarzan(人猿泰山)comic as a child. Finally, in 2004, to celebrate my 60th birthday, I went to Tanzania to experience a safari(东非游猎) and climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. Seated next to me on the flight was Tanzania's Minister of Water and Wildlife Development. We talked for thousands of miles, and he arranged me to visit a school. When I arrived at the school, I was shocked. The dirt floors turned into mud during the rainy season, and the walls couldn't keep out the heat, cold or bugs(小昆虫). The school was in need of all material goods.

It broke my heart that these children had to try hard to survive, so I asked the headmaster what it would cost to feed them. As little as 20 cents per child per day, he told me. Immediately I got home, I founded (成立)Kids of Kilimanjaro. Since then we've grown to provide hot lunches for nearly 13,000 school children in Tanzania every day. The free lunch program has solved an essential problem the children face.

I know a good education could really make a difference in these children's lives. My parents always told me the importance of education. I paid my own way through college in Tokyo by teaching English to students and business people. After attending university I moved to San Francisco, when I was 25 years old. In 1978 I realized my American dream when I founded my own company. My success all started with a good education.

It's amazing that something as simple as a hot lunch can change so many lives. Giving young people a better, healthier life can encourage them to go all the way through college and lead a change in their country.

I have a love-hate feeling with 8 o'clock classes. I like to get started that early, but most students don't. They usually came in late and looked sleepy at that hour.

One day I was really angry at it. I was excited about the history lesson, but no one else seemed to be. I wrote things on the blackboard. I moved around the classroom. I told stories. I tried my best to make the class interesting. It was useless. Their looks didn't seem to change. I became so disappointed and even forgot to keep time. I was going to talk more when I looked down at my watch. It was already two minutes past the end of class. So I just ended suddenly and soon the students began to pick up their schoolbags and rushed out of the door on their way to another class.

While I was watching them leaving, I put away my own books and notes. I was tired and a bit sad. I had tried hard to put everything I knew into that class but it had not seemed to work. Then, as I started across the hall back to my office, a student named Randy came out of the back door of the classroom and caught up with me.

With his eyes shining, Randy said, "This is the first time I've not wanted a college class to end." After hearing his words, all my tiredness lifted. I had done better than I thought. I don't know if Randy will ever understand how much he did for me that day. (A B B A B A)
