第三部分：阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项.

A

Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer（扫盲志愿者）. The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.

My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn’s know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule（时刻表）,she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn’t always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label(标识), she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.

As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie’s self-confidence(自信心), which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident is very well 52 .A person who is sharp,on the other hand,is intelligent,smart,and 53 nice-looking,well dressed,or intelligent.It is an expressive(adj.具有表现力的)word 55

she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her selfconfidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.

As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.

56．What did the author do last summer?

A．She worked in the supermarket.

B．She helped someone to learn to read.

C．She gave single mothers the help they needed.

D．She went to a training program to help a literacy volunteer.

57．Why didn’t Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?

A．Because she liked to walk to the supermarket.

B．Because she lived far away from the bus stop.

C．Because she couldn’t afford the bus ticket.

D．Because she couldn’t find the right bus.

58．How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?

A．She knew where the goods were in the supermarket.

B．She asked others to take her to the right place.

C．She managed to find the goods by their looks.

D．She remembered the names of the goods.

59．Which of the following statements is true about Marie?

A．Marie could do things she had not been able to do before.

B．Marie was able to read stories with the help of her son.

C．Marie decided to continue her studies in school

D．Marie paid for her own lessons.

B

As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.

Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.

Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs(郊区), leaving their two children with a nanny（保姆）. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock, and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.

Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm

here,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.”

Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”

60．What do the first two paragraphs tell us?

A．People seldom work long hours to make money.

B．People hardly buy more things than necessary.

C．People are sure everything they own is in the right place.

D．People realise there is more to life than just making money.

61．When Daniel was a reporter he .

A．lived in central London B．disliked his job

C．missed his children D．was well paid

62．Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm .

A．was easy to organise B．has improved family life

C．was extremely expensive D．has been a total success

63．What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．Child-caring. B．Liz’s advice.

C．Downshifting D．Liz’s job.

64．The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph means .

A．repairing your car by yourself

B．spending money carefully

C．moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life

D．living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week

C

65 A．Radio 3. B．Radio 4.

C．Capital Radio. D．Radio London.

66．You need to listen to for a programme on outer space.

A．Radio 2. B．Radio 3. C．Radio Wales. D．LBC

D

Have you ever got stuck with unwanted courses or a class schedule that cannot be changed? If so, that’s because you don’t know how to select the perfect schedule. But by following a few simple steps, you can begin any term with the right courses at the most convenient times.

First, you must find the right courses. These are the ones that have the least amount of work, the fewest tests and the kindest professors. Ask your friends about courses in which they received A’s after attending only 70 percent of the classes. Ask around, too, to see which instructors have given the same tests for the last fifteen years. Photocopies of these tests are usually cheap and can be easily found in school. Then, pick up a copy of the master schedule and study it carefully. Find the course titles that mean an easy pass for a painless subject. Look for titles like “Arts and Crafts for Beginners,” and “Rock Music of the 1950s.”

Next, when you have got lists of easy instructors and subjects you can begin to select your time periods. If you stay up late in order to watch old movies, you may want a daily schedule that begins no sooner than noon. You should schedule only afternoon courses, too, if you’re one of those people who hate to leave a warm bed in the morning. On the other hand, if you are a person who gets out of bed at dawn, you may want to get your classes out of the way as early as possible. That way you have the rest of the day free. Morning classes are also necessary if you are a soap opera(肥皂剧) fan.

Finally, you want your schedule to pass through registration successfully. The main way to do this is to register(注册) early. If a course does happen to be closed because you simply couldn’t register at 7:00 a.m., you may still be able to get in. Talk to the professor and tell him or her that a serious and hardworking student like yourself would be a shining example to other students. Be sure to carry a list of backup courses to registration, though, just in case one of your chosen classes changes professors or time periods.

By following these suggestions, any student can pick the perfect class schedule. College can thus become an almost pleasant activity.

67．Which of the following statements is true?

A．You can get copies of tests if you are willing to pay the price.

B． “Rock Music of the 1950s” may be an easy course.

C．It is difficult to pick the perfect class schedule.

D．Attendance is required in all classes.

68．You should .

A．register for classes in the morning if you get up early

B．have classes late in the morning if you stay up late

C．sign up for afternoon classes if you want to see soap operas

D．choose classes in the evening if you want to watch old films

69．If a course happens to be closed, you should .

A．register at 7:00 a. m..

B．sit in on the class anyway

C．register for a back-up course

D．get help from the professor

70．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Course Registration Made Easy

B．How to Find the Right Courses

C．Classes and After-class Activities

D．How to Pick the Perfect Schedule

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答案，选项中有2项为多余选项，将答案写在答题纸上。

Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a batter student in several ways 71 Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test. Third, note-taking offers variety to your study time and helps you to hold your interest.

You will want to take notes during classroom discussions and while reading a textbook or doing research for a report. 72 Whenever or however you take notes, keep in mind that note-taking is a selective process. 73

The following methods may work best for you.

●Read the text quickly to find the main facts and ideas in it.

●Carefully read the text and watch for words that can show main points and supporting facts.

● Write your notes in your own words.

● 74

● Note any questions or ideas you may have about what was said or written.

As you take notes, you may want to use your own shorthand(速记). When you do, be sure that you understand your symbols and that you use them all the time. 75

A. Use words, not complete sentences.

B. There are three practical note-taking methods.

C. You must write your notes on separate paper.

D. Otherwise, you may not be able to read your notes later.

E. you will also want to develop your own method for taking notes.

F. That means you must first decide what is important enough to include in your notes. G. First, the simple act of writing something down makes it easier for you to understand and remember it.

第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中填入最适当的单词。每空格1个单词。 Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV.

The first difference is that a policeman’s real life revolved round criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in

court. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down a street after someone he wants to talk to.

Little of his time is spent in chatting. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.

Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he’s arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminal is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks, little effort is spent on searching.

Having made an arrest, a detective really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and to do that he often has to gather a lot of different evidence.

A third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: first, as members of a police force, they always have to behave absolutely in accordance with the law. Secondly, as expensive public servants, they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.

If the detective has to deceive the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simple-minded — as he see it — of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges, who, instead of eliminating crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detective feel, is that nine-tenths of their work is re-catching people who should have stayed behind

Dear Editor,

I’m writing to tell you about a discussion we’ve had about the topic whether it is

good for middle school students to take part-time jobs.

Some of the students think that there are many advantages in doing part-time jobs while we are at school.Part-time jobs offer us a chance to develop our ability.The experience we gain through practice may be of great help to our future work.Part-time jobs can make our school life much richer and happier.

However,some of the students hold the view that part-time jobs also have some disadvantages.We may lose time needed for rest,study and some other activities.Working several hours a day may cost us a lot of time and energy and perhaps affect our studies.

As a student, the most important task is to study.Although part-time jobs can do us a lot of good,we should not spend too much on them.

Yours truly,
