Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story 36 their children. And they must have 37 how difficult it is to write a 38 children’s book.
Either the author (writer) has aimed (目标)too 39 , so that the children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her ) story, 40 the story seems to be talking to the readers. The best children’s books are 41 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both
the 42 who hears the story and the adult (grown-up) who 43 it. Unfortunately, there are in fact 44 books like this, 45 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 46 to solve (解决). This may be why many of the books regarded as 47 of children’s literature were in fact written for 48 . “Alice in Wonderland” is perhaps the 49 of this. Children, left for themselves, often 50 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or 51 and he will 52 willingly choose the books written in an unimaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 53 of teachers and right-thinking-parents. Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash (洗脑) children into 54 our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 55 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise (妥协) over that bedtime story.

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、D)中,选出最佳选项。 A
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own
language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children, like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents, seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
A man’s mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever in our mind. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
56. We usually begin to learn our own language by ________ it.
A. speaking B. hearing C. saying D. teaching
57. If you have a good ________ , you’ll have less difficulty in learning something.
A. teacher B. camera C. memory D. family
58. The children who live abroad with their parents can learn two languages more easily, because ______.
A. they are very clever B. they have good teachers
C. they have more chances to use these languages D. they have a better life
59. Memory is ________ that we write in our mind and carry about.
A. the best diary B. the best camera C. a great help D.a beautiful picture
B
Sam, a dog, was left behind in Colorado while his owners, Mr. And Mrs. Green moved to Southern California. They did not give the dog up. They found him a very nice home before they moved. They would have let Sam accompany them, but they were afraid the dog’s presence would make it difficult for them to rent a house when they reached their destination.
The Green family lived in Colorado for less than a year. Before that, they had lived in the same neighborhood in California to which they returned. So Sam had been there before, but only for a short time when he was young.
Several months after the Greens left Colorado, after they were comfortably settled back in California, they heard a scratch at the door. They couldn’t imagine who might be there. It never occurred to them that it might be Sam, because they were sure he was happily set up with his new family back in Colorado.
When they opened the door, the Greens saw a dirty, tired dog with very hurting feet. The animal looked a little bit like Sam, but no one could believe that Sam could have
walked 840 miles on his own. The tired dog spent the night under the family car. The next
day, when he was more rested, he performed some of his old tricks. The Greens knew they had their own dog back.
60. The story suggests that _______ .
A. dog owners have trouble renting B. many people treat their pets hardly
C. keeping a dog is easy D. dogs are too much trouble
61. Which is the right order of the following events according to the passage?
a. Sam walked to California. b. The Greens moved to Colorado. c. The Greens left Sam. d. The Greens returned to California. e. Sam spent the night under the family car.
A. b, d, c, e, a B. b, c, d, a, e C. a, c, b, e, d D. c, e, d, a, b
62. The underlined word “destination” in the first paragraph means _________.
A. the cost of living B. the country of one’s birth
C. the damage to oneself D. the place to which one is going
63. The Greens knew the dog was Sam ________.
A. because of his hurting feet B. from the color and the markings
C. by the way he walked D. after he did some tricks
C.
For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse.
Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants (污染物) can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.
People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is said that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they built
buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases. As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building-green plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant’s leaves absorb (吸收) or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and small organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square metres of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.
64. Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because _______.
A. indoor air pollution can often make people seriously ill
B. man-made building materials give off dangerous gases
C. there may be more harmful gases outside the buildings
D. the flow of air indoors is limited, which is very harmful
65. Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in ________.
A. every modern house B. every old house C. all kinds of houses D. all kinds of offices
66. The indoor air pollution is caused by ________.
A. the limit of the flow of air between inside and outside
B. the building way that the builders want to save energy
C. the building things that are made of man-made materials
D. the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow
67. The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that ________.
A. plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoors
B. plants may take in more oxygen which people need
C. plants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicals
D. plants can make our houses prettier and more healthy
D
New York: When the first plane struck 1 World Trade Center at 8:48 am on Tuesday, the people in 2 World Trade Center who saw the instant (瞬间的) damage to the other tower realized clearly what they, too, must do: get out fast.
Katherine Ilachinsiki, who had been knocked off her chair by the blast (一阵)of heat exploding from the neighboring tower, was one of those. Despite her 70 years of age, Mrs Ilachinsiki, an architect working on the 91st floor of 2 World Trade Center, the south tower, went for the stairs. Twelve floors above her, Judy Wein, an executive (经理), cried sharply and set off too.
But others up and down the 110 floors, many without seeing the damage across the way and thus unclear about what was happening, were not so sure. And the 18 minutes before the next plane would hit were ticking off.
Most people had no idea about what was the best thing to do, formal announcements inside the south tower asked people to stay put, assuring (使……确信) them that the building was sound and the threat (威胁)was limited to the other tower.
Some left, others stayed. Some began to climb down and, when met with more
announcements and other cautions (警告) to stop or return, went back up. The decisions made in those instants proved to be of great importance, because many who chose to stay were killed completely when the second plane crashed (坠落,碰撞) into the south tower.
One of those caught in indecision (犹豫不决) was the executive at Fuji Bank USA. Richard Jacobs of Fuji Bank left the 79th floor with the other office workers, but on the 48th floor they heard the announcement that the situation was under control. Several got in the lifts and went back up, two minutes or so before the plane crashed into their floor.
“I just don’t know what happened to them,” Mr. Jacobs said.
68. From the passage, we know that the south tower was hit by the plane ________.
A. at 8:30 B. 18 minutes earlier than the north tower
C. at around 9:06 D. at 8:48
69. The underlined words “stay put” means ________.
A. stay in the building B. leave at once
C. put everything back and then leave D. keep silent
70. Which floor was hit by the second plane?
A. The 91st floor B. The 103rd floor C. The 60th floor D. The 79th floor
71. Fewer people would have died if ________.
A. more announcements had been made
B. people hadn’t used the lifts
C. the attack had happened on a weekend
D. the people had obeyed the office rules
E
Paloalto, California— “Turning off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter—even if they do not change their diet,” US researchers said last week.
A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television increased nearly two pounds (0.91kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.
“The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician (儿科专家) at Stanford University. “American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games. And rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,” Robinsin said. In the study presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third. Children watching fewer hours of television showed a much smaller increase in waist (腰) size and had less body fat than other
students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise.
“One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories,” Robinson said. “Another reason might be eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson said.
72. The report tells us that children will get fatter if they ________.
A. eat in front of the TV B. change their diet
C. do special exercises D. spend much time watching TV
73. According to the report, the time American children usually spend on watching TV and videos or playing video games ________.
A. is four hours a day or more B. is less than four hours a day
C. has doubled in the last 20 years D. has been reduced to one-quarter
74. The time some children were persuaded to spend on TV viewing every day was less than ____.
A. one hour B. two hours C. three hours D. four hours
75. Watching TV will increase kid’s weight because ________.
A. they usually eat more and move less
B. they no longer take part in outdoor activities
C. they will not burn off calories
D. they will enjoy having meals in front of the television

It was time to go home. A doctor was going to call on one of his patients. There was ice on the road and the doctor’s car hit a tree and turned over three times. To his surprise, he was not hurt. He got out of the car and walked to the nearest house. He wanted to telephone the garage for help. The door was opened by one of his patients.
“Oh, doctor,” she said. “ I have only just telephoned you. You must have a very fast car. You got here very quickly indeed. There has been a very bad accident on the road outside. I saw it through the window. I’m sure the driver will need your help.”

Beethoven, a famous musician in the world, was born in Germany in 1770. In his
childhood Beethoven didn’t have a happy life. His father was a singer. When he was only four, his father began to make him practice hour after hour on different musical
instruments.
Beethoven loved music, and he was able to go around giving concerts when he was only a boy of eleven. At the age of seventeen, he won high praise from Mozart, the great musician at that time.
Beethoven was often poor and ill during his life. After one illness, he suddenly found himself deaf. At that time he was only thirty-one. It was a blow to him indeed, but he still went on working and writing music pieces. To people’s surprise, some of his best pieces were written after he lost his hearing.
In 1827 leaving more than 300 pieces, the great musician died, but his name is still remembered to this day.

A
Madame de Stael says that only the people who can play with children are able to educate them.For Success in training children,the first condition is to become a child oneself.It means to treat the child as really one's equal,that is,to show him the same consideration,the same kind of confidence one shows to an adult.It means not to affect the child to be what we ourselves want him to become,but to be affected by the impression of what the child himself is;not to treat the child with cheating,or by force,but with the seriousness and true love suitable to his own character.
Not leaving the child in peace is the greatest problem of present methods of training children.Parents do not see that during the whole life,the need of peace is never greater than in the years of childhood,an inner peace under all outside liveliness.
But what does a child experience?Corrections,orders,interference(干涉),the whole livelong day.The child is always required to leave something alone,or to do something different,to find something different,or want something different from what he does,or finds,or wants.He is always guided in another direction from the true inner will that is leading him.All of this is caused by our so-called enthusiasm in directing,advising,and helping the child to become the same model produced in one assembly line(流水线).Understanding,the deepest characteristic of love,is almost always absent.
To bring up a child means carrying one's soul in one's hand;it means never placing ourselves in danger of meeting the cold look on the face of the child.It means the truth that the ways of injuring the child are limitless while the ways of being useful to him are few.How seldom does the educator remember that the child,even at four or five years of age,has already had a sharp feeling!The smallest mistrust and unkindness,the least act of injustice,leave wounds that last for life in the heart of the child.While,on the other hand,unexpected friendliness and kindness make quite as deep an impression on those soft senses.
21.The passage mainly talks about ________.
A.misleading zones and right ways in educating children
B.current problems in training children
C.what should be taught to children
D.the importance of educating children
22.Children,according to the passage,are experiencing ________.
A.corrections,orders and peace
B.orders,interference and peace
C.interference,orders and corrections
D.peace,guide and praise
23.If you were a parent,which of the following methods is TRUE according to the passage?
A.You could treat your children not so seriously for they don't understand many things.
B.You could train your children as you wish them to be since you are parents.
C.You should sometimes leave your children in peace as they wish in their childhood.
D.You should correct your children immediately if their behavior is not what you want.
24.We may conclude that the author believes people should ________.
A.play with the children with enthusiasm all day long just to please them
B.try to give an order,advice and suggestions to their children at any time
C.treat their children iust as the way they treat someone else's in their daily life
D.regard their children as an equal to them and have understanding of the inner peace of them
B
People think what I do is so wonderful because I interview stars.And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987.I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months,anyway.Then I noticed how stars would fool me for months.I could never get enough time with a star to find out anything interesting,and some acted just simply rudely.I started hating the way I was treated,and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped(崇拜)before were pretty ordinary.So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths(不真实的事).If the star was a bad guy,I would say so.If I thought someone was stupid,I did not hold back that information.
I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty.Surprisingly,many of them hated me for it.I have gotten so many attacks on my character.In their eyes,being famous is everything,even more desirable than being truly creative and talented.
Why do we need stars?In fact,the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip(闲话).Over time,talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has become what we are crazy about.Thus,some people are more interested in the personal lives of stars than in the lives of their own family and friends.That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview as we care.We want the dirt in their personal lives.
There is another reason why we worship stars.As a whole,our society is not as religious as it once was.It seems that people need something to fulfill them in the way religion once did.Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.
We make them stars,but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant,and we truly feel better about ourselves when they die.I am part of this whole process.No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workdays.
25.What are stars like according to the author?
A.They always treat others rudely.
B.They always talk about something dull.
C.They are actually ordinary people.
D.They are usually honest and polite.
26.We worship stars because ________.
A.we need true mental heroes to support us
B.we can learn something useful from them
C.we concern about their family and friends
D.we like talking about their dressing styles
27.When the author is writing this article,his tone sounds ________.
A.excited B.angry C.worried D.calm
28.What is the main purpose of the author in writing the passage?
A.To show the disadvantages of working with stars.
B.To remind us not to worship stars blindly.
C.To laugh at the stars he has interviewed.
D.To talk about the reasons why we worship stars.
C
Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country,you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week,how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on.These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.
First, let's talk about what your weekly schedule will look like.No matter what your major may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures.Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities.In lectures, it's very important for you to take notes on
what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks.Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures.So it isn't enough to just read your textbooks;you have to attend lectures as well.In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take.The discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework.In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.
If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you'll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments.This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non-science majors do.On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.
29.The main purpose of this passage is to________.
A.persuade the students to attend lectures
B.encourage the students to take part in discussions
C.advise the students to choose proper majors
D.help the students to learn about university life
30.We can learn from the passage that university professors________.
A.spend about 5 hours on lectures each week
B.must join the students in the discussion sections
C.require the students to read beyond the textbooks
D.prefer to use textbooks in their lectures
31.A discussion section does NOT include________.
A.talking over what the students have read about the courses
B.working under the guidance of university professors
C.discussing the problems related to the students' homework
D.raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture
32.According to the author, science majors________.
A.read and write less than non-science majors
B.have to work harder than non-science majors
C.spend less time on their studies than non-science majors
D.consider experiments more important than discussions
D
I’m a pig, and my son is a rabbit. I have snakes for daughters, and my wife, believe it or not, is a dragon! Do I live in a zoo? No, of course not! I am talking about Chinese zodiac signs. Depending on the year of your birth, each person has an animal for a sign. That’s why I am a pig and my wife is a dragon. If you, like me, were born in the year of the pig, then you are brave, thoughtful and loyal. The year of the pig is filled with good fortune.
Now let’s take a closer look at this interesting animal.
Pigs were first raised by man about 9,000 years ago, and are still a very common farm animal in many parts of the world. We don’t just use pigs for their meat — almost every part of the animal is used. The hair is used for artists’ brushes. The fat is used to make floor wax, rubber and plastics.
Pigs have also been important in the world of entertainment. In 1995 the film ‘Babe’ starred a loveable talking pig as its main character. The film won an Oscar and was nominated for 6 more. In England you can even go to watch pig racing. A farmer, Rob Shepherd, has been raising money for charity by holding pig races on his farm. The events have been very successful. People don’t just want to eat pigs, it seems!
Pigs also play an important role in the English language. For example, if someone says that he will travel to the sun one day, you can say “pigs might fly!” to him. Hungry? Well then, you can “pig out” and eat lots of food. And what if someone rescues you? Well, you can say that they “saved your bacon”.
33. The writer wrote the first paragraph in a tone.
A. sad B. confused
C. serious D. humorous
34. We may know from the passage that ______.
A. people in England like pigs more than other animals
B. pigs are more useful than ordinary people imagine
C. pigs are the first animals raised by man
D. more people don’t want to eat pigs now
35. The underlined sentence “pigs might fly!” in the fifth paragraph means “______”.
A. What you have just said is impossible
B. Pigs are great animals
C. I don’t understand your words
D. I can’t agree with you more

What will man be like in the future—15000 Or even 50000 years from now? we can only make a guess,Of course,but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today.For man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example.Man,even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today.now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.
Again,in the modern world we use our brains a great deal.Even so , we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. AS time goes on,however, we Shall have to use our brains more. and more—and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead,will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant Use. In fact, we use them so much
that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand ,we tend to make less use of arms and legs. These, as a result ,are likely to grow weaker. At the same time ,however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair ? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer .In course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future , then ,both sexes are likely to be bald!
