    The holiday is upon us. Finally, after months of study, you have some time to yourself. So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, "Why bother with books? We have the Internet and other media that offer a lot of more colorful entertainment. Books are history!" But don't be fooled. I'm sure there's still a lot to be said for reading.

           One clear reason is that a well-chosen book is a wonderful source of vocabulary, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course. Believe me, it's far easier to get new English words and phrases from a book or an article than it is from the TV or the Internet.

           But another more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply can not. The average webpage is picture-heavy and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible. While "easy" may be attractive, unfortunately it's of little use for any long-term development of reading skills and the general language level. Because of that, there's still no substitute (替代品) of a book.

           But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it independently means that it's something you do by and for yourself. You can choose what you want to read. It's hard work, but somewhere down the line, you'll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure.

    How many reasons for reading a book does the author mention in the passage?

           A. Three            B. Two        C. One       D. Four

    According to the passage, we basically need a ________ in reading.

           A. television             B. pencil       C. notebook    D. dictionary

           A. develop long-term reading skills        B. improve the general language ability

           C. not take the place of reading books      D. be an effective way of reading

    The passage is written mainly to _________.

           A. share the pleasure of reading books       B. advise readers to read books

           C. stress the importance of reading online    D. help readers to choose good books

    第三部分：阅读理解（共16小题；每小题1.5分，满分24分）
    阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。  
    You’ve no doubt heard people say how much they “need” a holiday, when what they really mean is that they want one. Certainly, people working under pressure feel a very strong desire to escape from work and become less tight during holidays, and experience a changed environment.
    However, work for many people today is office work and mental, rather than physical tasks. These people may seek much more energy-taking activities while on holiday, rather than simply lying on a beach. 
    Once people become used to going on holiday, taking holidays becomes a habit. For many people the holiday is one of the last things to be given up, and indeed many workers have chosen to spend some of their last pay when being on holiday. It may give them a “lift” in facing some difficulties in life.
    Most of us also enjoy showing off the lovely tans --- dark skins we get from a holiday. So many tourists are now able to afford holidays in the sun that tans have become quite common; although we join a tan together with health, it has been fully shown that too much sunshine will result in high danger of skin problems, as well as drying out one’s skin and leading to more lines on your face later in life.
    56.According to the passage above, more and more people choose to have holidays because they __________.
    A. love working outdoors all the time    
    B. want to get away from work
    C. love enjoying the beauties of nature   
    D. become rich and want a better life
    57. When office people have holidays, they often _________ .
    A. lie on the beach and enjoy sunshine  
    B. spend more than they can afford
    C. think about their work on the beach  
    D. choose to do more physical exercise
    58 The word “lift” in the last sentence of the third paragraph may _______  
    A. cheer someone up                
    B. help someone find a job
    C. be the last thing not to be given up   
    D. bring good luck to someone
    59 At the end of the passage the writer tries to tell the reader _________.
    A. the importance of getting sunshine   
    B. the bad effect of being on holiday
    C. the result of getting sun tanned
    D. the healthy look of being tanned

    Are you a big fan of pirate（海盗） stories? Do you know how to talk like a pirate? You can have fun on September 19th. This special holiday is called International Talk Like A Pirate Day. It was invented in 1995 by two young Americans, John Baur and Mark Summers.
    These two good friends came up with this idea when they were playing racquetball, and began to talk like pirates. At that moment, they thought, “Young people are interested in pirate, but there is no such a chance for people to get together to share it. Why not have a day when everybody talks like a pirate?” They decided to make September 19th the date. Since then, Baur and Summers have tried hard to promote Talk Like A Pirate Day. As Baur said, “We’ve talked like pirates, and encouraged several of our friends to do so every September 19th.”
    At first, this day was only known by a few people. In 2002, Baur and Summers sent a letter about their invented holiday to Dave Barry. This columnist（专栏作家）really liked their idea. He promoted the holiday and made it known to more and more people. Now, it has really become an international holiday. On Talk Like A Pirate Day, you need to dress like a pirate. You should wear a big hat or maybe cover one of your eyes. You can pretend to be any kind of pirate that you can find in any story or movie.
    Having fun and being relaxed are not the only best things about the holiday. Young people share the same interest and childhood dreams that day. That's why it is welcomed by so many people, especially young people.
    Unlike traditional holidays, International Talk Like A Pirate Day is a brand new holiday which is invented by the youth themselves and celebrated by themselves too. Because of Baur and Summers’ imagination and creativity, thousands of young people’s pirate dream come true. Next time, when you have a good idea, why not share it with your fiends and insist on your belief? Maybe you can create another wonderful holiday for the youth in the future.
    【小题1】How did John Baur and Mark Summers invent the special holiday?

    A．Many young people asked them to do it
    B．They did it just for pleasure
    C．They did it in order to honor pirates
    D．They thought out the idea by chance and imagination
    【小题2】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．It was Dave Barry who made more people know the holiday.
    B．Talk Like A Pirate Day is a young, active and lively holiday
    C．The holiday has been popular since the birth of it.
    D．Thanks to John Baur and Mark Summers’ imagination and creativity, many people realize the pirate dream.
    【小题3】According to the passage, which of the following can show that the holiday is special?
    A．It is a brand new holiday invented and celebrated by the youth themselves.
    B．It is a wonderful and instructive holiday.
    C．It has a long history.
