16.Last December,Doris Low turned 90.Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) in Toronto,where she helps transform literature into Braille (CNIB) to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hears and minds of blind readers.She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises foe more than 40years.
  After working in the business world for a while,Low got fed up.So she turned to teaching at a technical school and later moved into the library.
  Low's mother liked reading.As her eyes began to fail,low read to her.Then"hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn Braille,I decided to give it a try."In 1973,she was certified as a braille transcriber (转译者) and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library.
  The job was strenuous---she could get to the end of a page,make a mistake on the last line,and have to do the whole thing again.For a number of years,low also worked in the CNIB sound studio reading books onto tape.Three years ago,she took up proofreading (校对) at the CNIB's word factory.
  In April,during Volunteer Week,the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions.Thanks to volunteers like Low,the CNIB library has got more than 80,000accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print."I can't imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from
  Doris's contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years---and she is still doing so,"said a CNIB official.
"For me,"said Low,"the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer.Three thins matter most in my life:a little play,a little work,a little love.I've found them all here."

56.What does Low still do at the age of 90at the CNIB?( no more than 10words)
57.why did Low learn Braille?( no more than 15words)
58.what does the underlined word"strenuous"most probably mean?(1word)
59.What are Low's contributions to the CNIB?( no more than 10words)
60.What do you think of Low?Give your reasons.( no more than 20words)

分析 文章大意:Doris Low 到去年12月份就90岁了.但是她从事志愿者活动已经有40年了.她的工作是把故事和知识传播给盲人读者通过吧文学作品翻译成布莱叶盲文.有时还要读录成磁带.三年前她又从事校对工作.这个工作很辛苦,但是她喜欢.

解答 56.She helps transform literature into Braille ( for blind readers/the blind). 细节理解题. 根据文章第一段第二句话可知,Low现在90岁仍然在CNIB从事帮助把文学作品翻译成布莱叶盲文的工作.所以回答 She helps transform literature into Braille (for blind readers/the blind).
57.(Because ) her mother's eyes began to fail ans she heard an/the advertisement. 细节理解题.根据文章第三段可知,因为她的妈妈喜欢阅读,但是她的视力变差了,而她也听到了一则鼓励人们学习布莱叶盲文的广告.所以回答(Because) her mother's eyes began to fail and she heard an/the advertisement.
58.Difficult/Hard/tiring/tough,词义判断题.第四段开头,破折号是对画线的词strenuous 的解释,都做到最后了,因为一个错误就必须从新做.所以strenuous的同义词是Difficult/Hard/tiring/tough.(很累、很难.)
59.she has brailled and proofread hundreds of books,and read books onto tape. 细节理解题.根据文章倒数第二段后三行I can't imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from Doris's contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years---and she is still doing so,"said a CNIB official.可知她为这个图书馆转换了很多盲文书籍还为很多的磁带配音.
60 Low is kind and helpful because she has devoted much time to transcribing books into Braille as a volunteer.
Or Low is a kin-hearted lady with a positive attitude toward life because she takes delight in helping others. 推理判断题.她是一个很善良的人,作为志愿者她为了看不见的盲人转换了很多盲文书籍还为很多的磁带配音.根据文章最后Three things matter most in my life:a little play,a little work,a little love.I've found them all here."可知她以帮助他人为乐.

点评 阅读理解题目的题型是客观的,而阅读表达的题型则是主观的,这不仅需要考生将文章理解,还需要将自己对文章的理解通过自己的语言表达出来,而且要受到字数的限制.这就是说阅读理解只是要求学生将文章及题目中的信息理解了,就能作对题目,而阅读表达不仅要求学生理解文章和题目而且要把文章中的信息用自己的语言表达出来,是一种信息的输出.

17.Have you ever noticed that the more you have the more you want?Let's face it.Thinking our life is good enough doesn't e naturally to many people.When we have high expectations of everything in life,we will run into disappointment.Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction.(36)_
(37)_  Most people want things to be better than they are,or when things are going well,we forget to appreciate what we have.Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be.Write down 5things you are grateful for right now.
When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made,it can really poison our well-being.Many people regret something they can no longer change,which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner.(38)_    so work to stay present and be mindful of the cur-rent moment to find more joy and fulfillment.
When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life,we are likely to be less satisfied.Social parisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others.but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position.(39)_
When you focus on your big ambitions and future goals,you might neglect the daily pleasures that surround you.(40)_  Stay present and focus on the task you're undertaking at the moment.Don't let the life pass you by because you're always on the go and distracted by ambitions.
Practice looking at life through the lens(镜头)  of contentment and it will bee more natural.

A.Learn to create chances to achieve your goal.
B.What you should do is to put yourself in a good mood.

11.Have you winterized your horse yet?Even though global warming may have made our climate more mild,many animals are still hibernating (冬眠).It's too bad that humans can't hibernate.In fact,as a species,we almost did.
    Apparently,at times in the past,peasants in France liked a semi-state of human hibernation.So writes Graham Robb,a British scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants.As soon as the weather turned cold,people all over France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end.
    In line with this,Jeff Warren,a producer at CBC Radio's The Current,tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial(人造的)lighting and the electric bulb.
    When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages,they noticed something referred to as"first sleep",which was not clarified,though.Now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods.The business of eight hours'uninterrupted sleep is a modem invention.
    In the past,without the artificial light of the city to bathe in,humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves around midnight.The late night period was known as"The Watch".It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals,although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighhours.
    According to some sleep researchers,a short period of insomnia (失眠) at midnight is not a disorder.It is normal.Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping,which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning.This period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people.The impressive inventor,Thomas Edison,used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas.
     Playing with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous,as anxiety may set in.Medical science doesn't help  much in this case.It offers us medicines for a full night's continuous sleep,which sounds natural; however,according to Warren's theory,it is really the opposite of what we need.

67.The example of the French peasants shows the fact thatB.
A.people might become lazy as a result of too much sleep.
B.there were signs of hibernation in human sleeping habits.
C.people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weather.
D.winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end.
68.The late night was called"The Watch"because it was a time for peopleD.
A.to set traps to catch animals.
B.to wake up their family and neighbours.
C.to remind others of the time.
D.to guard against possible dangers.
69.What does the author advise people to do?C
A.Sleep in the way animals do.
B.Consult a doctor if they can't sleep.
C.Follow their natural sleep rhythm.
D.Keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern.
70.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?D
A.To give a prescription for insomnia.
B.To urge people to sleep less.
C.To analyze the sleep pattern of modem people.
D.To throw new light on human sleep.

6.She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall.No way could I have sent her away.No way,not me anyway.Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before."We're moving house.""No space for her any more with the baby coming.""We never really wanted her,but what could we have done?She was a present."People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal.And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie.If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name.She was so unsettled during those first few days.She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her.There was nothing I could do to make her happy,it seemed.Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's.But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down.Always by my side,whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk.We were a long way from home,when she started barking and getting very restless.Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie.But when I saw her licking the four puppies I started to feel sympathy towards them."We didn't know what had happened to her,"said the woman at the door."I took her for a walk one day,soon after the puppies were born,and she just disappeared.""She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,"added a boy from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie,but I've got nugget now,and she looks just like her mother.And I've learnt a good lesson:not to judge people.
65.How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?B
A.Shocked
B.Sympathetic
C.Annoyed
D.Upset.
66.In her first few days at the author's house,GoldieA.
