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（相同的） 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.‎ ‎21. The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____.‎ A. encourage him to do more walking ‎ B. let him spend a meaningful summer C. help cure him of his reading problem ‎ D. make him learn more about weapons ‎22. The book caught the author’s eye because_____.‎ A. it contained pretty pictures of animals ‎ B. it reminded him of his own dog C. he found its title easy to understand ‎ D. he liked children’s stories very much ‎23. 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.‎ ‎24. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. The author has become a successful writer.‎ B. The author’s mother read the same book.‎ C. The author’s mother rewarded him with books.‎ D. The author has had happy summers ever since.‎ ‎25. Which one could be the best title of the passage?‎ A. The Charm of a Book B. Mum’s Strict Order C. Reunion with My Beagle D. My Passion for ‎Reading B At thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊所） with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.‎ In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”‎ ‎ She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”‎ I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.‎ In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.‎ Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?‎ I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?”‎ ‎26. The author didn’t finish the reading in class because______.‎ A. he was new to the class B. he was tried of literature C. he had an attention disorder D. he wanted to take the task home ‎27. What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?‎ A. He had good sight B. He made a great invention.‎ C. He gave up reading D. He learned a lot from school ‎28. What was Mrs.Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?‎ A. Angry B. Impatient C. Sympathetic D. Encouraging ‎29. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. The disabled should be treated with respect.‎ B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.‎ C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.‎ D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.‎ C Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell‎ ‎University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.‎ ‎ According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.‎ ‎ After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather ‎ than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.‎ ‎ In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity — or extreme overweight — among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.‎ ‎30. In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?‎ A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently. ‎ B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.‎ C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.‎ D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.‎ ‎31. This text is mainly the relationship between _________.‎ A. Americans and the French B. life style and obesity C. children and adults D. fast food and overweight ‎32. Where does this text probably come from?‎ A. A TV interview B. A food advertisement ‎ C. A health report D. A book review D As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.‎ In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The ‎ second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could ‎ find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.‎ In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)".‎ According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.‎ ‎33. The passage begins with two questions to ______. ‎ ‎ A. introduce the main topic B. show the author's attitude C. describe how to use the Interne. D. explain how to store information ‎34. In transactive memory, people ______.‎ A. keep the information in mind ‎ B. change the quantity of information ‎ C. organize information like a computer ‎ D. remember how to find the information ‎35. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research? ‎ A. We are using memory differently. ‎ B. We are becoming more intelligent.‎ C. We have poorer memories than before.‎ D. We need a better way to access information.‎ 第二节：七选五 Urbanization Until relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. 36_ . In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that ‎ Great Britain‎ became the first urban society in history--- a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.‎ Britain‎ was only the beginning. 37 .The process of urbanization--- the migration (迁移) of people from the countryside to the city--- was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.‎ In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 38 .‎ Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies. It took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. 39 . Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.‎ Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 40_ . Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.‎ A. That kept cities very small. ‎ B. The rest live in small towns.‎ C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered. ‎ D. Soon many other industrial nations become urban societies.‎ E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.‎ F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.‎ G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Dad had a green comb.He bought it when he married Mum.Every night，he would hand me his 41 and say，“Good girl，help Daddy clean it，OK？”‎ I was 42 to do it.At age five，this dull task brought me such 43 .I would excitedly turn ‎ the tap 44 and brush the comb carefully.Satisfied that I'd done a good job，I would happily return the comb to Dad.He would 45 affectionately at me and place the comb on his wallet.‎ Two years later，Dad started his own 46 ，which wasn't doing so well.That was when things started to 47 .Dad didn't come home as early and as much as he used to.Mum and I became 48 with him for placing our family in trouble.With 49 ，an uncomfortable silence grew between us.‎ After my graduation，Dad's business was getting back on track.On my 28th birthday，Dad came home 50 .As usual，I helped him carry his bags into his study.When I turned to leave，he said，“Hey，would you help me 51 my comb？”I looked at him a while，then 52 the comb and headed to the sink.‎ It hit me then：why，as a child， 53 Dad clean his comb was such a pleasure.That routine(习惯) meant Dad was home early to 54 the evening with Mum and me.It 55 a happy and loving family.‎ I passed the clean comb back to Dad.He smiled at me and 56 placed his comb on his wallet.But this time，I noticed something 57 .Dad had aged.He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled， 58 his smile was still as 59 as before，the smile of a father who just wanted a good 60 for his family.‎ ‎41．A. bag B．wallet C．comb D．brush ‎42．A. annoyed B．relieved C．ashamed D．pleased ‎43．A .joy B．sadness C．courage D．pain ‎44．A. out B．over C．in D．on ‎45．A. stare B．smile C．shout D．laugh ‎46．A. family B．business C．task D．journey ‎47．A. progress B．change C．improve D．form ‎48．A. satisfied B．delighted C．mad D．strict ‎49．A. time B．patience C．speed D．ease ‎50．A. occasionally B．early C．frequently D．rarely ‎51．A. sharpen B．repair C．clean D．keep ‎52．A. dropped B．took C．handed D．threw ‎53．A. watching B．letting C．helping D．hearing ‎54．A. find B．lose C．waste D．spend ‎55．A. affected B．broke C．meant D．supported ‎56．A. firmly B．hurriedly C．casually D．carefully ‎57．A. different B．exciting C．interesting D．urgent ‎58．A. for B．or C．so D．yet ‎59．A. convincing B．heartwarming C．cautious D．innocent ‎60．A. origin B．life C．reputation D．education 第二节: 语法填空(满分15分)‎ Finland‎ is a great country to visit, especially for relaxing.
