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。

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.

AToday we’ll talk about reading。
When we read a text,our eyes move across a page in short,quick movements。
We recognize words usually when our eyes still fixate (注视)。
Each time they fixate,we see a group of words.This is known as the recognition span (跨度) or the visual (视觉) span。
The length of time for which the eyes stop varies from person to person.It also varies within any person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text.In addition,it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.Unfortunately,in the past,many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the page。
As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading,many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation.For example,in some exercises,words are flashed onto a screen for a tenth of a second。

Ⅰ. 阅读理解AJunot Diaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar WaoThe winner in Culture critics’ survey is Junot Diaz’s first novel, about a bookworm called Oscar, who dreams of finding love. It also was named as the number-one book by the most critics. “It is a big deal for me to fall in love with a book whose topic is science fiction, fantasyand imagination, ”says Elizabeth Taylor, the Chicago Tribune’s literary editor.Edward P. Jones, The Known WorldSet in 1855 on the plantation of Henry Townsend--born a slave, now a slave-owner —TheKnown World is a success, leading readers into a complex moral time without making simple judgments. Facing an early death, Townsend thinks about the future of his 50-acre Virginiaplantation and the slaves he treats the way his former owner, now his teacher, taught him.Hilary Mantel, Wolf HallMantel’s boldly reimagined legend of 16th Century Europe, told from the point of Thomas Cromwell, winning the Man Booker and National Book Critics Circle awards, was adapted to the stage and has been filmed as a new BBC miniseries(短剧). Mary Ann Gwinn, Seattle Times book editor writes, “I have never felt so completely buried into a character’s mind, not to mention a long ago and far-away place. ” Marilynne Robinson, Gilead Rev John Ames, a small town minister, describes his life and anti-slavery tradition to his young son in beautiful language in this first part of Robinson’s trilogy (along with Home and Lila). “I can’t think of a living novelist who writes more seriously and profoundly about religious faith, which has become an almost forbidden topic in modern literature, ”writes Dawn Raffel, who ranked Gilead first on her list. Critic Karen R. Long says, “This multi-generational story tells a desire for transcendence (超越), and makes a case for spiritual life in the 21st century — its own kind of miracle. Gilead will be read in 100 years. ” 1. What can we learn from the passage? A. Oscar likes reading books. B. Townsend worked in a church. C. Rev John Ames likes farming. D. Thomas Gromwell won an Oscar Award. 2. What does Mary Ann Gwinn think of the book“Wolf Hall ”? A. She thinks it’s too dull. B. She doesn’t like the character in the book. C. She thinks it’s fascinating. D. She doesn’t like some contents in the book. 3. Which of the following books will have a far-reaching influence in the future? A. Gilead . B. Wolf Hall .此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号C. The Known World.D. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.BHenri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) is one of the most original and influential figures in the history of photography. His photographs helped establish photojournalism as an art form.Henri’s family was wealthy—his father made a fortune as a textile manufacturer—but Henri later joked that due to his parents’ economical ways, it often seemed as though his family was poor.Educated in Paris, Henri developed an early love for literature and arts. As a teenager, Henri was against his parents’ formal ways of education. In his early adulthood, he fell in love with several appetites, but it was art that remained at the center of his life.Henri traveled to Africa in 1931 to hunt antelope and boar. And Africa fueled another interest in him: photography. He then wandered around the world with his camera, using a handheld camera to catch images from fleeting moments of everyday life.Not long after World War Ⅱ, Henri traveled east, spending considerable time in India, where he met and photographed Gandhi shortly before he was killed in 1948. Henri’s work to document Gandhi’s death and its immedia te effect on the country became one of Life Magazine’s most prized photo essays.Henri’s approach to photography remained much the same throughout his life. He made clear his dislike of images that had been improved by artificial light, darkroom effects, and even cutting. The naturalist in Henri believed that all editing should be done when the photo is taken. In 1952, his first book, The Decisive Moment, a rich collection of his work spanning two decades, was published. “There is nothing in this world t hat does not have a decisive moment, ”he said.In 1968, he began to turn away from photography and returned to his passion for drawing and painting. 4. Which of the following is true about Henri’s photography career?A. He developed a passion for photography when traveling to Africa.B. He quit photography on publishing The Decisive Moment.C. He documented Gandhi’s everyday life.D. He devoted all his life to photography.5. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “economical” in Paragraph 2?A. Costly.B. Generous.C. Financial.D. Saving.6. What is special about Henri’s approach to photography?A. He only shot photos at decisive moments.B. He preferred to edit his images in his darkroom.C. His most photos described things in their natural ways.D. He tried different ways and settled on being a naturalist.Ⅱ. 完形填空“I don’ t feel right about this, ” I said to one of my cousins in a low voice. She nodded in1.

The mistakes she felt she made opened her eyes and shaped her into being the influential individual she is today.To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper LeeRegarded as a masterpiece of literature — it is no wonder it won the Pulitzer Prize. The plot and characters are based on the author’ s observations of her family and neighbors, as well as on an event that occurred near her hometown in 1936, when she was 10 years old. The novel is famous for its warmth and humor, despite telling a story of innocent Tom Robinson being accused of raping (强暴) a white woman because he was black.The Harry Potter series by J. K. RowlingA story showing the absolute courage of a young boy, who was never afraid to speak his mind in the face of injustice and would always defend the helpless.

Ⅲ.阅读理解Lights out at bedtimeThere are plenty of good reasons to power up a personal desktop or laptop computer in the evening —writing e-mails, chatting on social networks or making purchases over the Internet, for instance. But various studies indicate that people who stare at a PC's bright monitor shortly before going to bed probably sleep less soundly than they would otherwise because the light seriously affects their natural wake-sleep cycle. “They haven't proved it though,”says Dieter Kunz, the team's director at Charite's Psychiatric Clinic in St. Hedwig's Hospital in Berlin.Similarly, exposure to just 10 minutes of normal bathroom lighting is enough to free the sleep hormone melatonin, which regulates people's natural wake-sleep cycle and makes them sleepy at nightfall.Ten years ago, a team of British and American researchers detected a photopigment (光敏色素) in the human eye that signals to the body whether it is day or night, summer or winter. The photopigment is especially sensitive to blue light.“The blue light more or less tells the body,‘It's daytime, be awake,’”Kunz says. Monitors have a mostly cold white light content and scientists suspect the photopigment may react similarly to it. So the longer people look into the bright light, the more awake they become — and then sleep poorly.A lot of people have difficulty “switching off” in the evening. About half of the women in Germany and a quarter of the men sleep poorly.Environmental factors are only one of the possible causes. Job stress as well as personal and health concerns are also the main reasons for their sleepproblems.In addition, electronic objects' standby lights and indicator lamps can be annoying in the dark and affect sleep. “Sound scientific evidence is still lacking on this matter,” Kunz notes.According to Kunz, those who cannot go without their computer in the evening should turn down the blue content if possible and lower the brightness somewhat.“But nobody does that because, after all, you want to concentrate while working at the computer a nd the light helps the brain.”16.The passage is mainly about ________.A. people's natural wake-up cycleB. the effect of light on sleepC. personal health concernsD. functions of computer monitors答案与解析B主旨大意题。
