This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.6. The autho r’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____.A. encourage him to do more walkingB. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him l earn more about weapons7. The book caught the author’s eye because_____.A. it contained pretty pictures of animalsB. it reminded him of his own dogC. he found its title easy to understandD. he liked children’s stories very much8. Why could the author manage to read the book through?A. He was forced by his mother to read it.B. He identified with the story in the book.C. The book told the story of his pet dog.D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.9. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The author has become a successful writer.B. The author’s mot her read the same book.C. The author’s mother rewarded him with books.D. The author has had happy summers ever since.10. Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. The Charm of a BookB. Mum’s Strict OrderC. Reunion with My BeagleD. My Passion for ReadingCHowie Choset thinks snakes are great — not snakes, really, but their ways of moving. Howie Choset, 37 years old, is a professor at CarnegieMellowUniversity, where he has been years in developing robots that imitate snake-like movements. Why? He sees a future for these snake-like robots in the work of saving lives.These robots are built from very light materials and can carry cameras and other electronic sensors. Small electric motors, such as those used in model airplanes, help them move smoothly. Their size is similar to or smaller than a human arm.Choset’s hope is for these robots to be used in search and rescue operations after natural disasters or other emergencies. They must be controlled by a human operator using a joystick, like with a video game. The robots have the ability to know which direction is upwards, but much of their usefulness would depend on humans controlling them. Even then, these robots would be better than the current methods and equipment, most of which are justcameras on long poles.Sam Stover is the manager of a search team with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He is of the opinion that robots like these have been needed for a long time. Dogs are used effectively in search and rescue, but they are limited to places that humans can go. These robots would allow search teams to do something they’ve not been able to do before. “We needed them yesterday,” said Stover.11. What gave Howie Choset the idea to design the robot?A. Snakes’ senses.B. Snakes’ eyes.C. Snakes’ appearance.D. Snakes’ movements.12. The sentence “We needed them yesterday” might mean“_______”.A. We only needed them yesterdayB. We do not need them nowC. We really need them nowD. We have needed them for a long time13. Where can you most possibly find this passage?A. In a novel book.B. In a science book.C. In a fashion magazine.D. In a guide book for tourists.14. What can be inferred from the passage about the robots?A. Snakes do not seem unpleasant or even threatening.B. Snake-like robots can climb pipes.C. Snake-like robots can move in a very smooth, flexible way.D. Snake-like robots can work independently.15. Which one is true according to the passage?A. A snake-like robot has been developed.B. The snake-like robot can do something that no other robots can do.C. The snake-like robot can move injured people out of disaster areas.D. The snake-like robot is a cool toy.DFrom the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possiblefailure and public humiliation. When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they "know" all the words they are reading. This means that when they don't know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.One day soon after school had started, I said to them, "Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that's enough for me. Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean. "The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, Mr. Holt, do you reallymean that?" I said just as seriously, "I mean every word of it.During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk, From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was.I said to myself,"It can't be," and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick , in edition with woodcuts.I said, "Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going?" She answered, Oh,sure, but I just skip overthose parts and go on to the next good part. "This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is,an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited,picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of "understanding" that can be dug out of a book.16. According to the passage, children's fear and dislike of books may result from___.A. reading little and thinking littleB. reading often and adventurouslyC. being made to read too muchD. being made to read aloud before others17. The teacher told his students to read .A. for enjoymentB. for knowledgeC. for a larger vocabularyD. for higher scores in exams18. Upon hearing the teacher's talk, the children probably felt that______ .A. it sounded stupidB. it was not surprising at allC. it sounded too good to be trueD. it was no different from other teachers' talk19. Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?A. She skipped over those easy parts while reading.B. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.C. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.D. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.20. From the teacher's point of view, _______.A. children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while readingB. children should be left to decide what to read and how to readC. reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in schoolD. reading involves understanding every little piece of information第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）[易错考点]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。

During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.Many of Gershwin’s so ngs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way—from jazz to country.In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. Theaudiencewere thrilledwhen they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It sill remains one of his most famous works.George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.24. Many of Gershwin’s musical works were ________ .A. played mainly in the countrysideB. performed in various waysC.written about New YorkersD. composed for Paul Whiteman25. What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?A. It attracted more people to theatres.B. It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra.C. It proved jazz could be serious music.D. It caused a debate among jazzmusicians.26.Which of the following best describes Gershwin?A. Friendly and honestB. Serious and boringC. Popular and unhappyD.Talented and productiveCWhile small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average heightof the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged.“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 6′6″(6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for (满足要求) less than half of the male population.” said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, “Seven-foot beds would work fin e.”Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses′Caledoman Hotel in Edinburgh, 6′6″beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans.27. What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?A. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.B. To rebuild hotels and restaurants.C. To provide better services.D. To attract more people to become its members.28. Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy?A. 7′2″.B. 6′3″C. 6′6″D. 7′29.What may happen to restaurants with small tables?A. They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.B. They may start businesses elsewhere.C. They may lose some customers.D. They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.30. What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?A. Tall people pay more for larger beds.B. Guest rooms are standardized.C. Special rooms are kept for Americans.D. 6′6″beds have taken the place of 6′3″ beds.DOnce when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an exc ellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightene d that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet —and stopped him cold.”Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.31. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. Fear prevented him from trying.B. He lacked mighty forces.C. He faced huge risks.D. Failure blocked his way to success.32. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?A. Swallow more than you can digest.B. Learn to make creative decisions.C. Develop more mysterious powers.D. Act slightly above your abilities.33. What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game?A. His physical strength.B. His spiritual force.C. His real fear.D. His basic skill.34. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.B. Boldness can be gained little by little.C. Repeated failure creates a better life.D. Trying without success is meaningless.35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.B. To advise people to build up physical power.C. To encourage people to be courageous.D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
