It's 26 heavily. A 9-year-old boy was in the car with his mother, who was 27 him to school. Suddenly, the car went off the road, 28 several times, and came to rest upside down in a ditch(沟渠) filled with water.Luckily, both the mother and son were 29 seatbelts. The mother suffered a blow to her head and was unable to move. The boy was frightened but 30 . As water came through broken windows in the car, he 31 unbuckled (解开) himself, climbed out of the 32 window, made his way around to the driver's side, and reached inside the 33 to free his trapped mother. With great effort, he managed to 34 her, pull her through the window and up to the road, where they were soon 35 .His mother later recalled her experience of the 36 . Being unable to move or even 37 to offer instructions ( 指导) or encouragement to her son, she was 38 by her little son's action. She recalled 39 her boy saying out loud as he pulled her through the water, “I think I can, I think I can!”It seemed 40 that this little boy's act of courage was from one of his favourite books: The Little Engine that Could. In that 41 , when everyone else had 42 hope, the Little Engine carried the heavy load of toys and good things to eat over the hill to the children waiting on the other side.

Psychologists say that if children go through a disturbing event before the age of ten, they are three times as likely to suffer psychological problems as so teenagers. After a disaster children may become easily upset, shy, aggressive, or afraid of wind, rain, noises, or darkness. They may have trouble letting go of their parents and resist going to school or daycare. Some children may even feel guilty thinking that they somehow caused the disaster through their bad behavior. Because of such common reactions, parents and others should begin as soon after the event as possible helping these children.Some suggestions include talking to the children about what happened, letting the children express their own feelings, spending extra time with them doing activities together and reassuring them that you love them and won't leave them. For some children expressing themselves through drawing pictures or writing can be useful. Do everything possible to help children get back to a normal routine; however, don't be afraid to "spoil" these children for a while after the disaster. Let them have extra privileges and more attention than usual. Encourage the children to grieve after a loss. It should be OK for them to cry. Caring families and friends can do much to heal children victims of disasters.46. This passage is mainly about_______.A. how to help traumatized children to get overB. the bad effects disasters bring to childrenC. the psychological problems children before ten are likely to sufferD. the importance of caring families47. According to the passage, a child who has just experienced a devastating disaster may become______.A. more matureB. less dependentC. willing to helpD. ready to attack48. Which is NOT advisable when dealing with the traumatized children?A. Allowing them freedom for some time.B. Asking them to hold their feelings.C. Encouraging them to show their grief.D. Talking them into taking care of others.B篇The English policeman has several nicknames but the most frequently used are “copper” and “bobby”. The first name comes from the verb to “cop”, meaning to “take” or “capture”, and the second comes from the first name of Sir Robert Peel, the nineteenth-century politician, who was the founder of the police force as we know it today. An early nickname for the policeman was “peeler”, but this one has died out.Whatever we may call them, the general opinion about the police seems to be a good one except, of course, among the criminal part of the community where the police are given more bad nicknames which came from America, such as “fuzz” or “pig”. Visitors to England seem, nearly always, to be very impressed by the English police. It has, in fact, become a standing joke that the visitor to Britain, when asked for his views of the country, will always say, “I think your policemen are wonderful.”Well, the British bobby may not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful sort of character. A music-hall song of some years ago was called, “If You Want To Know The Time, Ask A Policeman”. Nowadays, most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions to ask the policemen. In London, the policemen spend so much of their time directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else! Two things are noticeable to the stranger, when he sees an English policeman for the first time.The first is that he does not carry a gun and the second is that he wears a very special type of helmet(头盔). His helmet, together with his height, enables an English policeman to be seen from a long distance, a fact that is not without its usefulness. From time to time it is suggested that the policeman should be given a gun and that his helmet should be taken from him, but both these suggestions are not accepted by the majority of the public and the police themselves.49．The nickname that is not used now is ___________.A．pig B．peeler C．fuzz D．bobby50．Which of the following statements is true?A．There are fewer criminals in America than in Britain.B．The English police usually leave a deep impression on visitors.C．The British bobby is friendly but not helpful.D．The English police enjoy having guns.51．If you see an English policeman for the first time, you will probably notice at once that ___________.A．he often tells people timeB．he is usually trying to tell others the timeC．he has a helmet on his headD．he wears special clothes52．In London, what do the policemen often do during their work-time nowadays?A．Direct anyone in the city B．Tell others the timeC．Nothing D．Show visitors the right way in the city 53．Visitors praise the English police because ___________.A．they are armed with modern equipmentB．they wear special helmetsC．they are often given thanks by peopleD．they are polite and helpful1-5 ADDDA 6-10.CAADC11-15.DDCBB16-20BAACA 21-25 ACAAA26—45 DBACD ABCDB ACDBA CDABC46-53 ADB BBCDD。

When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now.Still, her answer surprised me: “Green tea.”As long as I can remember she didn’t even drink Indian tea.I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian. It was a strange country.How things change! And how soon!Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment （投资）and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”. But it’s a two-way street, I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to his about us$15 billion for last year and us$20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments.No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian （中印）century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.36. Why did the mother ask for Chinese green tea?A. She was tired of Indian tea.B. She had a son working in China.C. She believed it had a curing effect.D. She was fond of Chinese products.37. What does the author mean by “it’s a two-way street’ in paragraph 10?A. China and India have different traffic rules.B. Tea trade works wonders in both India and China.C. Chinese products are popular in both China and India.D. The exchanges between India and China benefit both.38. What do we know about the Indian IT industry?A. It will move its head office to Shenzhen.B. It is seeking further development in China.C. It has attracted an investment of US$15 billion .D. It caught up with the US IT industry in2008.39. In the text the author expresses_____.A. his concern for his mother’s healthB. his support for drinking Chinese green teaC. his surprise at China’s recent developmentD. his wonder at the growth of India’s IT industryBWhat is eBay? The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform where nearly anyone can trade practically anything. People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods. Including cars, movies and DVDs, sporting goods, travel tickets, musical instruments, clothes and shoes- the list goes on and on.The idea came from Peter Omidyar, who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was still a child, At high school, he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tuft University in 1988, he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby, at first offering the service free by word of mouth. By 1996 there was so much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade（升级）and he began charging a fee to members. Joined by a friend, Peter Skoll, and in 1998 by his capable CEO, Meg Whitman, he has never looked back. Even in the great. com crashes of the late 1990s, eBay has gone from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet.eBay sells connections, not goods, putting buyer and seller into contact with each other. All you have to do is lake an e-photo, write a description, fill out a sales form and you are in business: the world is your market place. Of course for each item （商品）sold eBay gets a percentage and that is great deal of money. Every day there are more than sixteen million items listed on eBay and eighty percent of the items are sold.40. We learn from the text that eBay provides people with______.A. a way of buying and selling goodsB. a website for them to upgradeC. a place to exhibit their own photosD. a chance to buy things at low prices41. Why did Peter create eBay after graduating from university?A. For funB. To make moneyC. For gathering the engineersD. To fulfill a task of his company42. From “he has never looked back ”in Paragraph 2 we learn that peter________.A. did not feel lonelyB. was always hopefulC. did not think about the pastD. became more and more successful43. How does eBay make money from its website ?A. By bringing callers together.B. By charging for each sale.C. By listing items online.D. By making e-photos.CHow should one invest a sum of money in these days of inflation (通货膨胀)? Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques.I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. "The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round people's wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves."Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout the time. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings.However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour-glasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past.Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in an antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?44. According to the passage, collecting antique clocks ______.A can hardly keep the value of your savingsB will cost much of your savingsC may increase your wealthD needs your bravery45. By quoting (引用) the remark of a being from another planet, the author intends to ______.A. suggest human beings are controlled by a clockB. describe why clocks can rule the planet EarthC. tell readers what clocks look likeD. compare clocks to human beings46. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to measure the time?A. Counting the beating of one's own heart.B. Making use of candles, sand and water.C. Observing shadows cast by the sun.D. Keeping slaves busy day and night.47. The underlined phrase stately homes in paragraph 4 means ______.A state-owned housesB houses in very good conditionC grand houses open to the publicD houses where statesmen meet regularlyDWhen people hear a president speak, they seldom think about others helping to shape the presentation（报告）. Today, however, presidents depend on writers such as J. Terry Edmonds to help them communicate （交流）effectively. Edmonds is the first African American ever to work as a full-time speechwriter for a U. S. president; he is so the first African American to serve as director of speechwriting for White House. His is an all-American story of success.Edmonds grew up in Baltimore, Maryland; his father drove a truck, and his mother worked as a waitress. A. great reader, Edmonds showed a gift for writing at his high school, Baltimore City College. After graduating in 1967 Edmonds went on to Morgan State University.Edmonds began his career in business, with jobs in public relations and communications. He joined the world of politics as news secretary for his congressman （国会议员）from Baltimore During Bill Clinton’s presidency, he wrote speeches for Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala and worked in a number of jobs in the White House and in governmental departments. President Clinton then appointed （任命）him to the office of directory of speechwriting. Following the 2000 elections, Edmonds returned to Morgan State Univers ity as the school’s special assistant to the president for 2001-200248. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Edmonds proved himself to be good at writing at high school.B. Edmonds graduated from Morgan State University in 1967.C. Edmonds was the first full-time speechwriter.D. Edmonds served the White House after 2000.49. Edmonds entered the world of politics first as _________.A. news secretary for a CongressmanB. a speechwriter for President ClintonC. news secretary in the White HouseD. a speechwriter for Secretary Donna Shalala50. The text is most likely to be found in a book about_______.A. popular scienceB. historical eventsC. successful peopleD. Political systemsIV. 短文改错（满分10分）下面短文中共有10处错误，每句中最多两处。

Book 6 Unit 2 Poems 单元测试阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。

A★★☆☆☆Joanna Cole is the author of a wealth of children’s books on various subjects. Cole’s fertile imagination has provided beginning readers with jokes and puzzles, humorous tales of the Clown-Around family, and books about science. The winner of countless awards, Cole follows her own widespread interests to write. She is credited with introducing the interesting world of science to young readers through her book series such as the hugely popular “Magic School Bus” books, which inspired its own television program. A careful researcher, Cole is praised for her scientific accuracy, but her books gain most of their effectiveness from her humor and easily understood explanations of difficult technical subjects.Cole first discovered the pleasure of writing when she was in grade school. “I discovered in the fifth grade what I liked to do: write reports and stories, make them interesting and draw pictures to go along with the words. Science was my favorite.Our teacher, Miss Bair, would ask us to read a science book every week. And each week, she would choose one student to do an experiment and report on it to the class.I would have done an experiment every week if she had let me. Grade school was much more influential than my later education. Maybe that’s why as an adult I ended up writing books for children.”After graduating from the City College of New York, Cole pursued (追求) her interest in books. After some graduate education courses, she spent a year as a librarian in a Brooklyn elementary school. Cole then became an editor at Scholastic. It was during her first job at the elementary school that she was inspired by an article about cockroaches (蟑螂) in The Wall Street Journal. Realizing that this was a subject she had never read about in school, Cole decided to write about it herself. The first publisher rejected the idea, but Cole had more luck when she sent her book to the publishing house of William Morrow, where Editor Connie C. Epstein helped her improve her skills in science writing. Beginning with that book, Cole has continued to pen both nonfiction and fiction for younger readers. In 1980, after ten years’ editing children’s books, she became a full-time writer.21. We can learn from the text that Joanna Cole _____.A. writes various books for adultsB. is good at getting science across to readersC. is teaching science at an elementary schoolD. received many awards for her scientific achievement22. Joanna Cole’s attitude towards scientific experiments can be described as _____.A. uncaringB. cautiousC. unfavorableD. enthusiastic23. Which is the correct order of the following events related to Joanna Cole?a. She worked as a librarian.b. She became a full-time writer.c. She discovered the pleasure of writing.d. She studied in the City College of New York.e. She sent her book to the publishing house of William Morrow.A. c-d-a-b-eB. c-d-a-e-bC. d-c-a-b-eD. d-a-c-e-b24. Which of the following best describes Joanna Cole?A. Talented and creative.B. Popular but unhappy.C. Serious and honest.D. Friendly but strict.B★★★☆☆Dear Allen,I am delighted to learn that this year’s assessment of my performance is very positive. I enjoy working for Sunflower Corporation and will continue to serve the firm to the best of my ability.In the light of this positive assessment, I would like to request a promotion (提拔) from my present position as Acting Director to that of full Director to be considered. I think there should also be a pay increase involved in this promotion.As you know, I came to the Training and Development Department five years ago. Over the past five years, I have taken on the responsibilities of the department as the Acting Director. I have tried to improve the existing training courses to ensure (确保) a systematic training program. I have also taken steps to enrich our training courses even though this was not part of the job requirements. For example, I led a team in designing several training courses using detailed training material. Two of the programs, such as, “The Mystery of Leadership” and “Striving for Excellence”, enable us to offer 12 additional training courses. These programs help meet the needs of staff from all levels and practices within the firm.As you also know, I founded and lead our campus recruitment (招聘) program —“Sunflower Management Trainee Program”, which is widely recognized in many universities.Needless to say, I very much enjoy my present job. However, the above projects are beyond the original job description. They require me to spend extra hours and take additional responsibilities in order to ensure their proper implementation (实施).Given my positive performance and the additional effort I have made, I would very much appreciate your consideration in reviewing my official position with the company, along with a pay increase.Thank you for your attention and I look forward to your favorable reply.Your sincerely,Thomas25. We know from the text that the author _____.A. has done a good job this yearB. is satisfied with the present payC. wants to work in other departmentsD. dislikes his position in the company26. What do we know about the training courses designed by the author?A. They are satisfying and successful.B. They are within the author’s duties.C. They fail to meet the needs of staff.D. They are not well received in the company.27. The letter was written to _____.A. report on the workB. ask for promotion and a pay riseC. complain about working overtimeD. provide some suggestions on workC★★★★☆In a Station of the MetroThe apparition of these faces in the crowd;Petals on a wet, black bough.This is the only Ezra Pound poem that many people will read in their lives. Why? One obvious reason is that it’s just two lines long. The poem, which can be understood as “A man sees a bunch of faces in the subway and thinks they look like flowers on a tre e branch,” is an exercise in shortness. Pound wrote it after having a spiritual experience in a Paris metro (subway) station.In 1916, the US poet originally thought he could best describe his vision in a painting. Unfortunately, he wasn’t a painte r. So he wrote a thirty-line poem, which he didn’t like. He dropped the long version in the waste bin. Six months later, he wrote a shorter poem, but didn’t like that one either. Finally, a full year after the experience, he had been reading short Japanese poems called haikus, and he figured he would try this style. The result, which was published in 1913, is one of the most famous and influential works in modern poetry.This poem is one of the monuments (纪念物) of the 20th-century artistic movement known as “Imagism”. Basically, Pound and his friends thought that images (意象) weren’t just decoration: they were the highest form of speech. By finding the right image, the poet can express the true, spiritual reality of a thing, which is more important than using a bunch of adjectives to describe its physical appearance. Thus, “In a Station of the Metro” is a poem that consists of one image expressed with absolute (绝对的) exactness and nothing else.To the imagists, the best way to describe an experience is not to use more and more words; the best way is to find exactly the right words. Have you ever told a beloved one that “words can’t express” how much you love them? Well, Pound would say that you’re just being lazy. In his view, words can express a nything, even if it takes an entire year to find the right ones.28. In the short poem, Ezra Pound _____.A. tells us one of his painful experiencesB. compares the passengers’ faces to flowersC. describes a man walking among the crowdD. shows a wet, black tree branch in a metro station29. According to the text, “In a Station of the Metro” was _____.A. based on one of Pound’s paintingsB. first discovered in a waste binC. influenced by haikusD. completed in 191630. Pound and his friends _____.A. stressed the importance of using adjectivesB. were good at describing abstract imagesC. decorated their poems with picturesD. used images to express their ideas31. Pound would probably think one’s hard efforts to find a s ingle right word was_____.A. a bit ridiculousB. very worryingC. rather surprisingD. really worthwhileD★★★★☆“A serious attack on the fairy tale as children’s literature (文学) comes from those who don’t wish children to be frightened,” writes C.S. Lewis in an essay.Those who say that children must not be frightened mean two things. First, they mean that we mustn’t do anything likely to make children frightened. Secondly, they want to keep out of their minds the fact that they are born into a world of death, violence, pain, and adventure. C.S. Lewis says he agrees with the first reason, but not the second.He comments that “since it is so likely that they will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. By limiting your child to blameless stories of child life in which nothing at all alarming ever happens, you would fail to drive away the terrors, but would succeed in driving away all that can make them brave.”I love the story about St. George. It may be hard to find, but make an effort to make your children familiar with St. George and the Dragon by Margaret Hodges to see the best of this tale. It is a successful adaptation (改写本) from Spenser’s Faierie Queen. It begins with “In the days when monsters and giants and fairy folk lived in England, a noble knight was riding across the plain ...” It’s a keeper, if you can find one to buy.Bruno Bettelheim, a well-known child psychologist, also comments that fairy tales provide children with an invaluable education. He believes that all children have a rich supply of personal fantasies filled with fears and anxieties and that fairy tales comfort them and offer solutions. Happy endings tell them that solutions and hope are real and model the kind of happy life children want to find.A good fantasy suggests rather than tells possible answers to life. I believe that reading fantasy literature quickens the ability to transfer (转移) ideas from tales to reality. It’s what good literature does — it makes life larger.32. C.S. Lewis may probably agree that _____.A. children shouldn’t be exposed to death or v iolenceB. children should be brave and have rich imaginationC. children shouldn’t be allowed to read frightening storiesD. children should read fairy tales to learn about the real world33. What do we know about St. George and the Dragon?A. It is worth keeping.B. It was written by Spenser.C. It tells a beautiful love story.D. It is difficult for children to read.34. In the text, Bruno Bettelheim believes that fairy tales _____.A. show what happy life isB. are filled with fears and painC. cause children too much anxietyD. teach children how to solve problems35. What would be the best title for the text?A. What books children should readB. Whether people should read fairy talesC. How parents should choose books for kidsD.

ASuppose you’re in a rush, felling tired, not paying attention to your screen, and you send an email that could get you in trouble.Realization will probably set in seconds after you’ve clicked “send”. You freeze in horrors and burn with shame. What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to recover.Clicking “send” too soonDon’t waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored. Writing the wrong timeThe sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured: don’t handle it too lightly, as people can be offered, esp ecially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture(i.e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).Clicking “reply all” unintentionallyYou accidentally reveal(透露)to entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you’d like to take. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone tocalm down.Sending an offensive message to its subjectThe most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger. You write an unkind message about someone, intendi ng to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person you’re discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly—see it as an opportunity toclear up any difficulties you may have with this person.1. After realising an email accident, you are likely to feel _______.A. curiousB. tiredC. awfulD. funny2.If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to ________.A. Apologize in a serious mannerB. tell the receiver to ignore the errorC. learn to write the name correctlyD. send a short notice to everyone3. What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your “reply all” email?A. Try offering other choices.B. Avoid further involvement.C. Meet other staff members.D. Make a light-hearted apology.4. How should you deal with the problem caused by an offensive email?A. By promising not to offend the receiver again.B. By seeking support from the receiver’s friends.C. By asking the receiver to control his anger.D. By talking to the receiver face to face.5. What is the passage mainly about?A. Defining email errors.B. Reducing email mistakes.C. Handling email accidents.D. Improving email writing.BA primary school teacher who left a class of 25 pupils in tears after she told them Santa Claus did not exist has been fired.When excited youngsters became rowdy as they talked about Santa，the supply teacher said out suddenly，“It's your parents who leave out presents on Christmas Day.”The class of seven-year-olds at Blackshaw Lane Primary School，Royton，Greater Manchester burst into tears and told their parents when they arrived home.Mothers and fathers then complained about the incident and were sent a letter by the school saying the teacher，who only worked at the school for one day last week，has been disciplined.The school has now said it will not hire her again.One father said，“My son came home and said that his teacher had told the class that Santa doesn't exist and it's their mum and dad that put out presents for them.Obviously，they were all talking about Christmas and being a bit rowdy.She just came straight out with it.”“My son was in tears and so was everyone else in the class—especially as it was so close to Christmas.I thought it was wrong.He was crazy about it.He's only seven years old and it's part of the magic of Christmas to him.”“We told him that she did not believe in Father Christmas because of her religion and he's fine now.”“The father described the incident as ‘shocking’ and believed it was done with malicious intent(恶意地)．A lot of parents were angry and complained to the school.The teacher，who was supplied by Rochdale and Oldham Supply Agency，is still listed and will work with other schools，”the agency s aid.However，the head teacher in Angela McCormick refused to comment on the incident.6．Who felt the angriest about the incident?A．The teacher who was fired.B．The pupils who were in tears.C．The parents whose children cried.D．Santa Claus the teacher talked about.7．The seven-year-old children cried because of ________.A．their teacher's leavingB．the letters by the schoolC．something about Santa ClausD．the presents left out by the parents8．We can infer from the passage that ________.A．the teacher was fired and couldn't continue her career in teachingB．the parents complained about the discipline of the schoolC．the little pupils felt disappointed after hearing the news told by the teacherD．in reality，Santa Claus exists and gives out presents once a year.9．What's the meaning of the underlined word“rowdy”？A．Surprised. B.Noisy.C．Discouraged. D．Annoyed.CParents and kids today dress alike，listen to the same music，and are friends.Is this a good thing？Sometimes，when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter，Elizabeth，listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy，such as pop culture，he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom，‘Hey，the new Weezer album is really great.How do you like it？’”says Ballmer.“There was just a complete gap in taste.”Music was not the only gulf.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations，earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.Today，the generation gap has not disappeared，but it is getting narrow in many families.Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago.Now they are comfortable and common.And parent-child activities，from shopping to sports，involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message，“To my mother，my best friend.”But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.“There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents，but there is a change happening，”says Kerrie，a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College.“In the middle of that change，there is a lot of confusion among parents.”Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change，but today’s parents，the 40-year-olds，were on the ‘after’ side，”explains Mr.Ballmer.“It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days，because life is more difficult to understand or deal with，but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”10．The underlined word gulf in Para.3 most probably means ________.A．interest B．distance C．difference D．separation11．The change in today’s parent­child relationship is ________.A．more confusion among parentsB．new equality between parents and childrenC．less respect for parents from childrenD．more strictness and authority on the part of parents12．By saying “today’s parents，the 40-year-olds，were on the ‘after’ side，”the author means that today’sparents ________.A．follow the trend of the changeB．can set a limit to the changeC．fail to take the change seriouslyD．have little difficulty adjusting to the changeDWorking from home is more and more popular as a means of escaping the nine-to-five office life. Why do you work under the eye of your boss when you can work in front of the TV in your slippers？Armed with all the necessary things—telephone，computer，e-mail and fax，many workers believe they can work as effectively as their colleagues in the office. Being able to work wherever you like：from a busy city to a village，and not having to stand the daily things，make working from home an attractive choice. If you wish，you can even work on a river boat.So what will become of the office tomorrow？It is possible that many could go into computer space creating a new wave of virtual(虚拟的) offices. To minimize office in inner-city areas，companies will have a work force made up of a network of home workers linked by an advanced communication and information system. A central processing computer would be controlled by the manager who sends out work schedules and oversees(监视) the activity of each employee.A video screen would be created，as the need for e-mail or telephone becomes greater. Seeing the mood and expressions of work colleagues，managers would have the ability to view several employees at once on their screen. Employees would be encouraged to feed any information that may be useful to fellow workers into the computer to ma ke the company work more effectively. As the company’s lifeblood，the computer would contain a record of all conversations and communication for future reference and hold secret information such as accounts in password(口令) protected areas.13．The passage is mainly about ________.A．the importance of working in the futureB．how to escape your officeC．how to work with a computerD．virtual offices in the future14．According to the passage, which of the following things is NOT necessary for a virtual office?A．A manager. B．An office building.C．A telephone. D．A central processing computer.15．From the passage we can learn that ________.A．a computer is the only necessary thing in a virtual office.B．in a virtual office, all information is open to workers.C．managers can observe their employees in a virtual office.D．the number of employees will be smaller in a virtual office.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, idea, themes---anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a “complicated idea”until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times.(How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?)There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most important books of Western Civilization”. “More than anything else in my life”. The professor told the reporter with finality, “these books have made me all that I am.” That was the kind of words I couldn’t ignore. I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato’s The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reached the last words, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.1.On hearing the teacher’s suggestion of reading, the writer thought___________.A.one must read as many books as possibleB. a student should not have a complicated ideaC.it was impossible for one to read two thousand booksD.students ought to make a list of the books they had read2.While at high school , the writer __________.A.had plans for readingB.learned to educate himselfC.only read books over 100 pagesD.read only one book several times3.The underlined phrases “with finality”in the second paragraph probably means_____________.A firmly B. clearly C. proudly D pleasantly4. The writer’s purpose in mentioning The Republic is to _____________.A. explain why it was included in the listB. describe why he seriously crossed it off the listC. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understandD prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word5. The writer provides two book lists to____________.A. show how he developed his point of viewB. tell his reading experience at high schoolC. introduce the two person s’ reading methodsD. explain that he read many books at high schoolBWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their chil dren, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”6. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless7.

To create means to bring into being or to cause to exist –something each of us does daily .We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way . First this involves an awareness of our surroundings . It means using all of our sense to become aware of world . This may be as simple as being aware of color and appearance , as well as taste , when we plan a meal . Above all , it is the ability to notice things that others might miss .A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things . If we believe the expression “ There is nothing new under the sun”, the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example we might do this by finding a better way to study or to arrange our furniture , or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters(镜头和滤光器) 头create an unusual photograph .A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas , to apply them to achieve some new results . To think up a new concept is one thing ; to ____________________is another .These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius , but they are also involved in many of our day-to-day activities .1.What is the best title of the passage?

B．Kept. C．Introduced. D．Deserted.18．Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?A．Because English and French share similar pronunciations.B．Because English grammar and French grammar are similar.C．Because a large number of English words have French origins.D．Because English has great influences on the French language.19．French grammar is distinct from English grammar in that________.A．no words have the same pronunciationsB．all words have the same pronunciationsC．English nouns have a male or female genderD．French nouns have different adjective forms20．What conclusion can we draw from the text?A．Language is closely related to history and culture.B．French and English words have nothing in common.C．Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.D．English combines French and the native Anglo-Saxon.BOne bitterly cold day,a snowstorm blew into ourarea.Needing firewood,I quickly set out with my bestfriend,Bruce,to look for a tree to cut down.I was glad to haveBruce along with.Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can bedangerous.So it was important to have a friend who could warnme of danger.When I chose a big tree about 23 meters tall and preparedto cut it down,my best friend suddenly warned me,“Don’t cutdown that tree！It’s too close to the power line！”I wasn’t sure about it.So I decided to disregard his warning.I wanted to finish the job quickly and go home.So I began cutting down thetree.When the tree fell,there was no longer any doubt that my friend was right.The tree caught the power line,bringing it to the ground.I considered cutting the tree off the line.After all,electricity can’t travel through wood,so I could safely remove the tree.As I reached out my finger to touch the tree,pain ran up my arm and through my head.I was shocked!After I returned home and told my mother what had happened,she quickly called the power company.The workers from the power company soon arrived on the scene.One of them asked if I had touched the tree,and when I told him I had,his face turned pale.“You should have been killed,” he said.So why am I still alive？It was my boots that saved my life.Within two hours,the workers removed the tree.Soon the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother.Even though she was glad I wasn’t hurt,my mother was still serious.After all,I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.Through this experience,I learn it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective.Taking time to listen might actually save a lot of time and trouble.It certainly would have kept me from getting the “shock” of my life.21．The underlined word “disregard” in the second paragraph means “________”．A．pay no attention to B．take notice ofC．consider D．follow22．In spite of Bruce’s warning,the author still cut down the tree because________.A．he was sure there would be nothing to happenB．he wasn’t sure if Bruce was right and was anxious to go homeC．he didn’t hear his friend’s warning at all because of the blowing windD．he knew electricity can’t travel through wood23．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．But for his boots,the author would have died.B．The author regretted having brushed off his friend’s warning.C．The author knew nothing about electricity.D．When the tree was cut down,the author realized his friend was right.24．The underlined part “the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother”means “________”．A．my mother was still angry with me for not listening to my friend’s warningB．my mother was still in fear of the terrible accidentC．my mother was still comforting meD．my mother was still worried about my safety25．The author wrote the passage mainly to________.A．give an account of one of his terrible experiencesB．make us know it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective through his experienceC．tell us not to cut trees down any moreD．remind us to be careful while we are working1.D2.D3.C4.A5.A6.B7.C8.D9.C 10.B 11.C 12.A 13.B 14.C15.D 16.C 17.B 18.C 19.D 20.A 21.A 22.B 23.C 24.B 25.B。

Like Walt Whitman, another famous American poet, he wanted his poetry to be read and understood by the “common man”. Frost wrote about farm and country life in early America, and his poems celebrate both the powerful force of nature and the strength and importance of human actions and choices.36. Why did the poet stop by woods on a snowyevening?A. His horse wanted to feed on the grass.B. He was tired and wanted to have a rest.C. He was attracted to the beautiful scenery of thewoods.D. He wanted to hunt as many animals as possiblein the forest.37. Why did the poet have to leave?A. It got darker and darker.B. He had to keep his promises.C. He was afraid of getting lost.D. It was noisy in the woods.38. The poem celebrates .A. the force of nature and the strength of humanchoicesB. the harmony between man and natureC. the power of human and common manD. the beauty of nature and country lifeBSandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers”, because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated（躲避）into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the University’s Writers’Workshop, however, she felt lonely—a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her“creative voice”.“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice.I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.”Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book, and a short-storycollection.39. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros inher childhood?A. She had seven brothers.B. She felt herself a nobody.C. She was too shy to go to school.D. She did not have any good teachers.40. The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to.A. work for a school magazineB. run away from her familyC. make a lot of friendsD. develop her writing style41. According to Cisneros, what played the decisiverole in her success?A. Her early years in college.B. Her training in the Workshop.C. Her feeling of being different.D. Her childhood experiences.42. What do we learn about The House on MangoStreet?A. It is quite popular among students.B. It is the only book ever written by Cisneros.C. It wasn’t a success as it was written in Spanish.D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.CVampires(吸血鬼)Vampire stories go back thousands of years. The acts we now associate with vampires, such as rising from the grave and drinking blood, were popularized by Eastern European stories.Most early cultures created stories to explain things they didn’t understand. For example, hair and nails continue to grow after people die, which has already been proved possible by modern science.These facts were unknown to most people in the 19th century, however. As a result, the legends surrounding such mysteries were kept alive.Count DraculaIn 1897, Irish writer Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula was published, spreading the vampire stories to a mass audience. In the novel, the Count Dracula of Transylvania, a 500-year-old vampire, has drunk his country dry and must move to England in search of new victims. Dracula means“son of the dragon”or “son of the devil”in Romania.WerewolfThe story of a half-man, half-wolf beast is as old as that of vampires, and almost as varied. In most werewolf stories, however, a beast would silently enter settlements at night and steal a young child or an animal.The most common explanation of werewolf stories is that the beast was usually an ordinary wolf. The genetic disorder, which causes too much body hair, may also have helped to popularize the story.FrankensteinThis is a fictional scientist created by British writer Mary Shelly in 1818. Dr. Frankenstein lives in a castle and is so addicted to making living beings from parts of dead bodies that he refuses to marry.The story of Frankenstein may have been planted in Shelly’s mind since she visited Castle Frankenstein in Germany, where an alchemist（炼金术士）tried to do experiments with the aim of making people live longer.The Invisible ManIn H. G. Wells’ 1897 story, a young scientist called Griffin, manages to make himself invisible. But he cannot find a way to become visible again. He then wants to make use of his super power but finally has gone mad. We lls’tale owes a great debt to Greek philosopher Plato’s book Republic.43. The best title for this passage should be.A.

Energies were committed to establish suitable houses, hotels, and kitchens. Food supplies were built up and the ability of the existing Panama Railway system was increased. In addition, a large Panama Canal labor force was enrolled（招收）and organized under a civil government. With all the activity, the need for improved sanitation soon became apparent. Improving the unclean conditions was one of the greatest difficulties in building the Panama Canal. Colonel William C. Gorgas stepped up and took charge of improving these sanitary and working conditions.With the leadership of Gorgas, many new departments of sanitation were founded. Separate departments each undertook different tasks. Some health departments were in charge of hospitals, others in the management of health matters, and still others took charge of sanitation inspections. Committees were also formed to look after the basic welfare of the laborers.The sanitation work included clearing land, establishing quarantine（检疫）facilities, and taking care of sick and injured laborers in hospitals. On top of this, an operation under Gorgas’ command aimed to destroy the yellow fever and mosquitoes carrying malaria.The big wetlands surrounding the canal in certain areas were a great breeding（繁殖）ground for mosquitoes. In an attempt to solve some of the mosquito problems, the surrounding wetlands were drained（排干水）and filled. Various methods were used. This task was so big that the first two years of building the canal were largely dedicated to gettingrid of the mosquitoes. In the end, these efforts were a success. By 1906, yellow fever was virtually wiped out in canal areas and the number of deaths caused by the other top disease, malaria, was also reduced significantly.With all these new health measures, the canal area has become one of the healthiest regions in the world. With the leadership of Gorgas, the department of sanitation helped to make the canal construction possible.47.

Unit 2 PoemsⅠ.阅读理解AIt was days or even weeks since I had been left on the island. My only companion was a dog called Philly which had survived the shipwreck. Memories of what happened were still fresh.The magnificence of the ship had given us all a false sense of security. As the first signs of the storm started, our captain announced it was nothing much, just another storm. Yet, he was wrong! The storm hit the ship so badly that large holes were made at the sides of the ship. As the freezing water started rushing in, our ship was consumed quickly by the dark water.My train of thought was disturbed by Philly licking my hand dearly. Are you hungry? I spoke my first words ever since the shipwreck occurred. Woof, woof! Barked Philly enthusiastically. At this moment, my stomach gave a loud growl, too. I could not remember when my last meal was, probably a ten-course dinner on the ship. As I had never fished before, I thought maybe I could try something simpler, like picking fruits. With Philly at my side, armed with a sharp branch, we walked into the forest on the island together. Suddenly I thought I heard noises. Could there be anyone else on this island? I wondered. As we were looking for fruit trees, we chanced upon one that bore yellow, juicy-looking fruit. Philly started barking---we had company. It was a dark-skinned woman, holding a sharp spear, dressed in fur and grass. I backed away from her, afraid that she would be aggressive. Then, I saw that she was trying to save us. Pointing her spear at the fruit tree, she shook her head strongly.I nodded at her to show I understood what she was saying. Signaling to us to follow her, she turned to walk along a small path that I had never noticed. At the end of the small path, there was a small village. Tears of joy filled my eyes.1. Why had the writer been left on the island?A. Because the captain had deserted him.B. Because he wanted to explore the island.C. Because his ship had crashed in the storm.D. Because his ship had broken down in the shallow water.2. What can we know about the dog Philly?A. He was friendly but aggressive.B. He was also a survival of the shipwreck.C. He was badly hurt in the shipwreck.D. He was left alone while the writer went for food.3. How did the writer deal with his hunger?A. He went fishing on the sea.B. He told Philly to find food for him.C. He got some food from his ship.D. He went into the forest to pick fruits.4. Why did the woman point her spear at the fruit tree?A. the fruits were not the best choice.B. the fruits were unfit for food.C. he was forbidden to pick the fruits.D. the fruit tree was dangerous.BEveryone knows that if a dog’s ears are up and its tail is wagging vigorously, it is definitely pleased to see you. but now scientists using a robot have found that the way dogs use their tails is more complicated than we thought, and that dogs which wag them to the left may be more friendly. The animal psychologists discovered that when real dogs approached a life-sized robot dog, they were less cautious about it when it was wagging its tail to the left, while if it was wagging its tail to the right, far fewer dogs approached it in a confident manner.In the first experiments, 56 percent of the animals approached the model without hesitation when the tail was wagged to the left, while only 21 percent did so in the other situation. When the researchers excluded(排除)owners from being present, the result were: 31 percent of the dogs approached continuously when the tail was wagging to the left, while only 18 percent did so when it was on the right.Animal psychologist Roger Mugford said it added to the growing evidence that dogs were even more complicated communicators than the animals more closely related to man such as monkeys. He said, “We know that dogs, in a sense, have languages, but it is more complicated because it is not just them wagging their tails, but also giving out chemical displays.”He adds, “The research confirms earlier studies suggesting that dogs, like humans, had a left-side preference. If you are going to present a signal to a dog, it is sensible to put it on your left-hand side because that is where dogs, unlike most other animals, tend to look. It is another example of the similarity between dogs and humans. They are a lot more human than we give them credit for.”5. What does it tell us if a dog wags its tail to the right?A. It was very energetic.B. It was in a good mood.C. It might be unfriendly.D. It must be confident.6. What can be inferred from the second paragraph?A. Few dogs approached the robot dog confidently.B. More dogs approached the robot without their owners present.C. Some dogs lacked confidence with their owners present.D. Dog owners may influence the behaviour of their dogs.7. What can we learn from animal psychologist’s experiments?A. Dogs can communicate more than human beings.B. Dogs have more complicated emotions than monkeys.C. Dogs’ tail-wagging conveys more information than previously believed.D. Dogs’ intelligence can be much higher than any other kind of animal.8. What do Roger Mugford’s words mean?A. The Left-side preference should be studied further.B. Dogs have more in common with humans than we think.C. No other animals show the left-side preference except dogs.D. Dogs have a more complicated language than we people do.Ⅱ.完形填空In a tiny room, Jenny was lying in bed waiting for an operation, nervous and worried. 1 , another patient was squeezed in.

B．Kept. C．Introduced. D．Deserted.18．Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?A．Because English and French share similar pronunciations.B．Because English grammar and French grammar are similar.C．Because a large number of English words have French origins.D．Because English has great influences on the French language.19．French grammar is distinct from English grammar in that________.A．no words have the same pronunciationsB．all words have the same pronunciationsC．English nouns have a male or female genderD．French nouns have different adjective forms20．What conclusion can we draw from the text?A．Language is closely related to history and culture.B．French and English words have nothing in common.C．Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.D．English combines French and the native Anglo-Saxon.BOne bitterly cold day，a snowstorm blew into ourarea.Needing firewood，I quickly set out with my best friend，Bruce，to look for a tree to cut down.I was glad to have Brucealong with.Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can bedangerous.So it was important to have a friend who could warnme of danger.When I chose a big tree about 23 meters tall and preparedto cut it down，my best friend suddenly warned me，“Don’t cut down that tree！It’s too close to the power line！”I wasn’t sure about it.So I decided to disregard his warning.I wanted tofinish the job quickly and go home.So I began cutting down the tree.When the tree fell，there was no longer any doubt that my friend was right.The tree caught the power line，bringing it to the ground.I considered cutting the tree off the line.After all，electricity can’t travel through wood，so I could safely remove the tree.As I reached out my finger to touch the tree，pain ran up my arm and through my head.I was shocked!After I returned home and told my mother what had happened，she quickly called the power company.The workers from the power company soon arrived on the scene.One of them asked if I had touched the tree，and when I told him I had，his face turned pale.“You should have been killed，” he said.So why am I still alive？It was my boots that saved my life.Within two hours，the workers removed the tree.Soon the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother.Even though she was glad I wasn’t hurt，my mother was still serious.After all，I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.Through this experience，I learn it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective.Taking time to listen might actually save a lot of time and trouble.It certainly would have kept me from getting the “shock” of my life.21．The underlined word “disregard” in the second paragraph means “________”．A．pay no attention to B．take notice ofC．consider D．follow22．In spite of Bruce’s warning，the author still cut down the tree because________.A．he was sure there would be nothing to happenB．he wasn’t sure if Bruce was right and was anxious to go homeC．he didn’t hear his friend’s warning at all because of the blowing windD．he knew electricity can’t travel through wood23．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．But for his boots，the author would have died.B．The author regretted having brushed off his friend’s warning.C．The author knew nothing about electricity.D．When the tree was cut down，the author realized his friend was right.24．The underlined part “the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother”means “________”．A．my mother was still angry with me for not listening to my friend’s warningB．my mother was still in fear of the terrible accidentC．my mother was still comforting meD．my mother was still worried about my safety25．The author wrote the passage mainly to________.A．give an account of one of his terrible experiencesB．make us know it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective through his experienceC．tell us not to cut trees down any moreD．remind us to be careful while we are working1.D2.D3.C4.A5.A6.B7.C8.D9.C 10.B 11.C 12.A 13.B 14.C15.D 16.C 17.B 18.C 19.D 20.A 21.A 22.B 23.C 24.B 25.B。

of reading it twice ，once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end.All discussions of poetry are ，in fact ，preparations for reading it aloud，and the reading of the poem is ，finally ，the most telling “ interpretation，suggesting”of it tone， rhythm ， and meaning all at once.Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice ， on records or on films ， is obviously a special reward.But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and the teacher reading it.I have come to think ， in fact ， that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than analyzing it ， if there isn't time for both.I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry.Poetry is a criticism of life ， and a heightening （提升） of life.It is an approach to the truth of feeling ， and it can save your life.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature ，about its sound as well as its sense，and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.36． To have a better understanding of a poem， one should ______.A ． discuss it with othersB．analyze it by oneselfC．copy it down in a notebookD． practice reading it aloud37． Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?A ． Extending your life.B ． Saving your life.C．Criticizing life.D． Heightening life.38． According to the writer ， one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students______.A ． to understand lifeB ． to enjoy poetryC．to become teachers D． to become poets39． What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?A ． More stress was laid on the understanding of poetry in the past.B．Poetry is more important than any other subject.C．One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.D． Poetry is the foundation of all languages and literature courses.．“ ______ ”40． The best title of the passage may beA ． Reading Poems loudB．Analyze PoemsC．Enjoy PoemsD． Learn EnglishB“ Merry Christmas” mayenotthebfirst greeting in the world，Neil Papworth admits today，but as he was about to send the world's first text message to a cell phone ，it attracted him certainly more than “ Mr Watson，come here，” the first words spoken over the telephone.Richard Jarvis，the man at the receiving end ， was at a Christmas party in Newbury ， England.Since cell phones were not yet designed to type out and send a single letter ，Papworth ， the 22-year-old engineer sent his historic greeting to Jarvis's phone from a computer keyboard.It took another couple of years before cell phones were made to send text easily and then justa short while before teenagers discovered them.Today， billions of text messages fly through the airwaves （电波） every day，and they are a base of profit for the world's telecommunication companies.Some relationships even live and dieon the strength of the phone messages.Though text messages are still used to give holiday greetings— New Year is the busiest texting day of the year— they are also used to vote for politicians and celebrities （政治家和名人）， play games，warn groups of people of weather and advertise products.And they will likely be used in ever-increasing areas.In December 1992 ， just sending“ Merry Christmas” ，its timewhen cell phones themselves were still new to common people， the text message “ wasquite a success ．”Brennan Hayden，who was an engineer in the 1990s for an Irish wireless company ，Aldiscon ，which invested in text messaging， said few people believed at the time that it would become successful as a communication medium of its own. “ Theysaid people would never use it ；they wouldn't be bothered to type messages on a phone ，” said Hayden.“ I always believed，in”it he said.“ I believed it could actually be a force（力量）to change the world.”41． What is the first text message to a cell phone in the world?A ． Merry Christmas.B．Happy New Year.C．I always believed in it.D． Mr Watson ， come here.42． What does the author mean by speaking“ Somerelationships even live and die on the strength of the phone messages ”？A ． Phone messages lead to people's living and death.B．More and more people depend less on phone messages.C．Sending phone messages often is bad for people's health.D． Phone messages are playing an important role in people's lives.43． Some people doubted the future of text messages because______.A ． cell phones were not designed to type out and send a single letterB．sending text messages to a cell phone at that time was very difficultC．they didn't believe people would trouble themselves to type messagesD． it would take many years before cell phones were made to send text messageseasily 44． From the passage， we can infer that______.A ． no one in the 1990s could imagine the business of airwavestoday B．text messages are used in more fields besides greetingC．“ Merry Christmas” appeared earlier than，“comeMrWatsonhere”D． more people will send text messages from a computer keyboard45． Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A ． Brennan Hayden was a great engineer and had a long head.B．The first text message to a cell phone was sent in December 1992.C．In the 1990s communication experts held different views toward text messages.D． The first text message was sent by Richard Jarvis from a computer keyboard.Ⅳ．七五中有两节余依照短文内容，从短文后的中出能填入空白的最正确。
