      This brief book is aimed at high school shjeents , but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.
    Its formal ,serious style closely matches its content ,a school-masterly bonnk on schooling .The author , W .H . Armstrong ,starts with the basics : reading and writing . In his opinion , reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page ; it means taking a sandwich and makes it a part of himself .The goal is to bring the information back to life , not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees . Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other ; in fact ,the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text .I’ve seen it again and again ：some-one who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all.
    Only a  thied of the bonk remains after that discussion ,which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages ,math , science and history . He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透彻地) and equally ,except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion(激情) regarding history to his students , that was a  hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across .to my disappointment , in this part of the book he ignores the arts .As a matter of fact ,they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do,though the study differs slightly in kind .Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired ,actually ,learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.
    My other comment is that the text aged. The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s---none of the references(参考文献)seem newer than the late 1950s. As a  result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.
    These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.
    63. According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to________.
    A. gain knowledge and expand one’s view
    B. understand the meaning between the lines
    C. experts ideas based on what one has read
    D. get information and keep it alive in memory
    64. The author of the passage insists that learning the arts_________.
    A. requires great efforts
    B. demands real passion
    C. is less natural than learning maths
    D. is as natural as learning a language
    65.  What is a shortcoming of Armstrong’s work according to the author?
    A. Some ideas are slightly contradictory.
    B. There is too much discussion on studying science.
    C. The style is too serious.
    D. It lacks new information.
    66. This passage can be classified as________.
    A. an advertisement
    B. a book review
    C. a feature story
    D. A news report

    When I was a ten-year-old girl, I was once asked to deliver a speech titled “A Real Test in My Life”. To talk before the whole class! Just imagine how   31   (terrible) shy I was the moment I thought of that   32     so many eyes fixed upon me. I had no other choice, though. First I was to draft the speech and that was just a piece of cake for me, because I was a good writer－something to pride myself in. But the hard part   33   (lie) in my oral presentation; to read from   34   paper was not allowed; I had to give the speech   35   my memory and in front of such a big audience! A real trial began when I stood on the platform with my legs   trembling and my mind blank. How much time had passed by, I didn’t know. My listeners were still waiting, patiently and without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found   36   back, giving out my speech with difficulty. Finally I finished. After   37   seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding. I made it! From then on, my fear of talking before an audience   38   (appear). Actually with my confidence building   39   , I now turn out to be a great speaker. Looking back, I know the greatest difficulty on our way to success is our fear. Overcome it,   40   we will be able to achieve our goals.

    第一节   阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
    阅读下面短文，并根据题目要求用英语回答问题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
    Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list anything in our past that we felt ashamed of, regretted or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
    This seemed like a very private process, but there’s always some brave soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then suggested that we find ways to make an apology to people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever improve my communication.
    Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my list, I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff that none of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies and I decided to play a trick on him.
    After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is an s.o.b. (畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious sign. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one ever found out.”
    “Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name appears on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still alive. Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few rings, I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” paused. “Yes.” “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”
    “And I want you to know that I did it？”Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a lively discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you because your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for calling me for your sake.”
    Jimmy inspired me to clear up all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It’s never too late to right the past wrongdoings.
    56. What was the uneasy part of communication course about for the writer?
    ____________________________________________________________________________
    57. Please explain the underlined word “buddies” in English. 
    _________________________________________________________________________
    58. Please state one of your wrongdoings and how to right it.  
    ____________________________________________________________________________
    59. Why did Sheriff Brown pause twice before he could carry on the telephone conversation?
    ____________________________________________________________________________
    60. What does the writer learn from the course?
    _________________________________________________________________________

    第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    In the days when an ice cream sundae(圣代冰淇淋)cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress came to his table and put a glass of water in front of him. “Miss, how much is an ice cream sundae?” he asked. “Fifty cents,” replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and counted(数) the coins in it.
    “Okay then, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?” he asked. By now, more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. “Thirty-five cents,” she replied rudely. The little boy again counted his coins. “I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said.
    The waitress brought the ice cream sundae, put the bill on the table, and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier, and left.
    When the waitress came back to that table, she began to cry as she wiped(擦) it with the wash cloth. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish were fifteen cents.
    You see, the little boy couldn’t have the sundae because he wanted to have enough coins to leave her a tip. The waitress regretted having treated the little boy like that. And from that, she learned that she should treat all her customers well.
    1. Why didn’t the little boy have an ice cream sundae?
    A. Because he didn’t have enough money for one.
    B. Because he liked a plain dish of ice cream better.
    C. Because he wanted to have enough coins to leave a tip.
    D. Because he was told not to have such an expensive ice cream.
    2. When the little boy ordered a plain dish of ice cream, the waitress looked ______.
    A. happy    B. surprised    C. impatient     D. ashamed
    3. We infer that the waitress cried most probably because_____.
    A. she had never received a tip before
    B. she was touched by the little boy’s deed
    C. she knew the little boy wouldn’t come back again
    D. the boy was too generous

    A. Not having offered the little boy an ice cream sundae.
    B. Not having asked the little boy for more money.
    C. Not having treated everybody the same.
    D. Not having treated the little boy well.

    Last year, my boyfriend suggested that I should run the London marathon(马拉松), and I laughed. He laughed too, but he laughed too long and too loud. That made me think. I realized that he didn't believe that I could do it. That made me angry, and determined, Now he knows that I can!
    Training wasn't easy, but I kept going. I didn't need special training but I did need to buy very good shoes. Each day, I went a little further. By the end of three months, I was running five days a week. Some- times in the evenings I ran 10 km； on Sunday mornings, I sometimes ran about 30 kin. I used to come home, have a shower and eat my breakfast. I felt wonderful!
    On the day of the race in London, I lined up with about 30,000 other runners. The faster runners were at the front, while slower runners like me were placed further back. In that way, the professional runners and club runners were not slowed down by the amateurs(业余爱好者).
    At first, there were so many runners close together that we were almost falling over each other.  We could only run very slowly but that was a good thing because it meant that we didn't rush off too quickly. Gradually the runners spread out and there was more space. There were thousands of people watching us along the route and they cheered and clapped everyone, even the slowest runner. It was wonderful!
    For the first 10 km I felt very happy and my legs felt very comfortable. However, at 15 km I got a pain in my side and running became difficult, but I kept going and the pain disappeared. At the 30 km mark, I felt extremely tired, and wanted to stop, but I kept on going. I covered another 3 km and then I began to feel better again.
    By the time I reached the 35 km mark, I knew I was going to get to the end of the course. Somehow that confidence made me feel lighter and faster and it seemed as if my legs flew over the last few kilometers. I passed hundreds of slower runners, some of whom had passed me earlier, and I felt wonderful! AS I came round the last bend(弯道)and saw the finishing line, I could see three runners ahead of me. I raced past all of them to finish the race in just under four hours. The winner had completed the race in 2 hours and 10 minutes, but I didn't care! I had run 42 km and completed my first marathon!
    72. The writer's boyfriend laughed at her because     .
    A. he thought she could run the marathon 
    B. he .didn't think she could run the marathon
    C. he wanted her to run the marathon        
    D. she wanted to run the marathon
    73. When the race began             .
    A. all the faster runners were asked to stand before those slower ones
    B. many runners fell over each other  
    C. all the runners were asked to run slowly
    D. the professional runners and club runners ran very fast
    74. The hardest time for the writer was when she           
    A. had run for 15 kilometers  
    B. got a pain in her side
    C. reached the 30 kilometer mark
    D. was about to reach the finish line
    75. The passage suggests that it is better to start a long race slowly             .
    A. than to run at the same speed all the time 
    B. than to run too fast at the beginning
    C. than to run slowly at the end    
    D. than to run very fast all the time

    Science can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
    Any owner will tall you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners –while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed (放松)around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don't judge.
    A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about I1 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs - and found it worth doing.
    1．What does the text mainly discuss?
    A．What pets bring to their owners.
    B．How pets help people calm down.
    C．People's opinions of keeping pets.
    D．Pet's value in medical research.
    2．We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if
    A．he has a pet companion
    B．he has less stress of work
    C．he often does mental arithmetic
    D．he is taken care of by his family
    3．According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?
    A．They have lower blood pressure.
    B．They become more patient.
    C．They are less nervous.
    D．They are in higher spirits.
    4．The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that
    A．people with dogs did more exercise
    B．dogs lost the same weight as people did
    C．dogs liked exercise much more than people did
    D．people without dogs found the program unhelpful

    When you first meet a disabled person, what is your first reaction? Curiosity? Sympathy? If you experience any of these emotions, you are not alone．Chances are that you don’t regularly associate with someone who is disabled．Here are four points to keep in mind if you should happen to meet a disabled person.
    Disabled people can lead active lives
    With few exceptions, a disability does not prevent someone from working, raising a family, or taking part in social activities．Many sports and recreation programs have been adapted to a person with a disability．Instead of concentrating on the disability, look at the person the same way you would any normal person.
    It’s all right to ask questions
    Many people are afraid of offending someone by asking about their disability．When meeting them for the first time, it’s natural to be curious about who he or she is, and where they’re from．Asking questions is usually acceptable, as long as you use common sense．Don’t, for example, ask a blind person how he feeds and bathes himself.
    Offer help when necessary
    You see a woman in a wheelchair having trouble entering a building．It’s usually appropriate to lend a hand if someone is having obvious difficulty, but keep in mind that not everyone will be willing to accept your help．Unless the woman in the wheelchair is in danger, you do your part.
    Remember that we all have obstacles to overcome
    No matter who we are, each of us has a weakness or challenge to face．Like you, a disabled person would much rather be accepted for who they are, rather than be pitied．Many friends have said to me, “I often forget that you are blind.” To me, that is the top compliment(赞扬).
    1．Why are you curious when you first see disabled people?
    A．They can’t live normally．           B．You seldom deal with them.
    C．You look down upon them．         D．They look quite different.
    2．What should you do if you find a disabled person can manage it?
    A．You had better lend him or her a hand.
    B．You pretend that you haven’t seen him or her.
    C．You should encourage him or her to try.
    D．You had better let him or her alone.
    3．From this passage we learn that ____.
    A．the author is blind himself
    B．a disabled person needs pitying
    C．not everyone has a weakness
    D．some people have no difficulty

    You can love them or hate them, but no matter which tourist destination you visit, chances are that you’ll see someone with their head buried in a Lonely Planet guidebook.
    Lonely Planet is one of the world’s largest travel guide brands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages. The popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts(播客)all devoted to travel.
    Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable. They also save time and make sure you don’t miss the best things.
    They also provide the reviews of hostels(旅店), hotels, restaurants and ticket information about your destination.
    This can be great if you’re a nervous traveler, or if you haven’t traveled by yourself before. If you’re in a country where you don’t speak the language, sometimes there’s nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook. You simply point to a map that directs the taxi driver to a hostel that’s cheap and clean, with friendly staff and cold beer.
    But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers like them. They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity(自发性)out of traveling, and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen. They also regret that if you follow a guidebook, you’ll end up doing the same thing and having the same experience as everyone else. You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route.
    Another criticism of travel guides is that they have a large impact on local communities. For example, some locals devote their lives to behaving in ways that attract tourists. They pretend to live a traditional lifestyle, wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses in order to attract the tourist dollar.
    63. The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that __________.
    A. you can speak a foreign language when opening a guidebook
    B. you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange city
    C. it provides lots of useful information about your destination
    D. it can help you save time and money when traveling
    64. People criticize the guidebook because __________.
    A. it is not as useful as most travelers expect
    B. tourist destinations will be crowded if everyone follows the same route
    C. travelers may not get the chance to have unexpected adventures
    D. local people keep modern lifestyles under its influence
    65. What do we know about the Lonely Planet guidebook from the text?
    A. It’s a world-famous brand only producing guidebooks for travelers.
    B. It’s very useful to a person who’s nervous about touring an unfamiliar place.
    C. It’s very useful to a tourist who likes to repeat others’ experiences.
    D. It is loved by all travelers because of the convenience it brings to travelers.
    66. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (①—⑦ stand for Paragraph 1
    —Paragraph 7 )
    A.   ①　　　        　B.  ①                C. ①                D. ①
    ②                 ②③  ④                ②                ②   ③
