My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought 36 . My complaints, even self-justified shouting, were always landing on 37 ears. Very often a whole hour's scolding（责备）would end with their 38 into tears, I felt very frustrated. I realized I needed to 39 my method of "mothering".

One day when they were at school, I spent some time 40 their rooms. On their desks, in plain 41 , I left the cards: "Dear Bill（the other card was 42 to Sarah）, your room was messy this morning and I'm sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy." 43 arriving back, the children were 44 excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy 45 for them, thanking them for their nice "gift" of a clean room and 46 asking them to play a certain violin piece. Each day, 47 notes would be written differently to keep the ideas 48 .

Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little 49 : "If you can finish your homework and 50 your lessons before dinner, I'd like to watch a particular television program with you tonight." Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in 51 of well done jobs the day 52 .

53 I can't remember how long "the Room Fairy" continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its（贴条）. The bathroom mirror became the 54 center of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted.

We all benefited from and 55 the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent

and enjoyable communication.

第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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

I had once helped a friend of mine run a watermelon stall（摊位）. I noticed something interesting. Almost every buyer would lift the melon up to their ear, smartly tap it, apparently trying to listen to something. I wondered what they expected to hear.

Finally I could no longer hold back my curiosity and made bold to ask a customer—an elderly gentleman—about this. Hearing my question, he roared with laughter. Then he replied in a self-mocking（自嘲）tone. "Young lady, I have been doing this for more than fifty years. All I know is that everybody would stare at you as if you were a fool if you just pick up the melon and leave!"

Not long after that, my watermelon stall friend unexpectedly sent me an invitation for her wedding, which really surprised me. I asked her, "How come you are seized by a sudden desire to get married? I don't remember ever hearing you mention that you've got a boyfriend." She

answered while counting money, "Everyone has to get married anyway, so it is better to get married sooner than later."

I could think of no word to refute（反驳）her. It seems that everybody is living for everybody else and has forgotten the need of their own heart. It may be safe and save a lot of worries by following others' suit in doing things. The use of We or Us will give one a steady and sure sense of pride. But using the pronoun "I" would often give one a guilty conscience（良心）.

I find all these things somewhat funny. We have got used to taking cue from（模仿）others and follow their suit. In turn, we also take it for granted that we should judge the right and wrong of others by our own standard. As a matter of fact, this massive practice is still wrong though we all follow others' suit like this, but we feel at ease and, justified simply because this is the way of us, and so we 'can have an easy conscience because this has been practiced by so many people.

56. The writer probably feels that it is .

A. necessary for the buyer to tap the watermelon

B. foolish of the buyers to buy watermelon without tapping it

C. funny that the buyers will tap the watermelons when buying them

D. wise of the elderly gentleman to tap watermelons before buying them

57. The writer uses the example of her friend's decision of getting married to show that .

A. her friend took no account of others' feeling

B. her friend decided to marry just to follow the crowd

C. her friend was a person who has strong personality

D. everybody in the world should marry for others

58. Which of the following it NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. It may be safe to follow others' suit in doing things.

B. I was surprised to receive my friend's invitation for her wedding.

C. My watermelon stall friend was older than me and eager to get married.

D. The use of We or I will give speakers themselves quite different senses.

59. Which word can replace the underlined word "justified" in the last paragraph?

A. Reasonable.

B. Embarrassed.

C. Ashamed.

D. Nervous.

60. In which section of a magazine can you read the passage?

A. Art and Fashion

B. Sport and Health

C. Culture and Society

D. Science and Technology

B

If you look for a book as a present for a child, you will be spoiled for choice even in a year there is no new Harry Potter. J. K Rowling's wizard is not alone. The past decade has been a harvest for good children's books, which has set off a large quantity of films and an increased sales of classics such as The Lord of the Rings.

Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics in 1997 23% said they didn't like reading at all. In 2003, 35% didn't. And around 6% of the children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.

Maybe the decline（下降）is caused by the increasing availability of computes games. Maybe the books boom（繁荣）has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class. In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.

Reading Recovery is aimed at six year olds, who receive four months of inpidual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation this year reported that children on the school made 20 months' progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months' progress, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.

International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school, they read well, but read text often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can report lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator（指示器）of future educational success. According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.

66. Which of the following is TRUE of Paragraph 1?

A. Many children's books have been adapted from films.

B. Many high-quality children's books have been published

C. The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films.

D. The sales of presents for children have increased.

67. Statistics suggested that .

A. the number of top students increased with the use of computers

B. a decreasing number of children showed interest in reading

C. a minority of primary school children read properly

D. a huge percentage of children read regularly

68. What do we know about Reading Recovery?

A. An evaluation of it will be made sometime this year.

B. Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking.

C. It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading.

D. Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.

69. Reading for fun is important because book-loving children .

A. take greater advantage of the project

B. show the potential to enjoy a long life

C. are likely to succeed in their education

D. would become excellent future researchers

70. The aim of this text would probably be .

A. to overcome primary school pupils reading difficulty.

B. to encourage the publication of more children's books

C. to remind children of the importance of reading for fun

D. to introduce a way to improve early children reading

D

Do you know that men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.

The largest study of the effects of ageing（变老）on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.

"We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age," said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.

"Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men," said Goldspink "This is part of the aging process."

What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's.

"This gender（性别）difference might just explain why women live longer than men," said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. "The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart," said Goldspink.

The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming

smaller and weaker as they age.

71. The underlined word "longevity" in the second paragraph probably refers to" ".

A. health

B. long life

C. ageing

D. function

72. The text mainly talks about .

A. the benefits of regular exercise

B. women's ageing process

C. the gender difference

D. hearts and long life

73. According to the text, the UK scientists have known that .

A. women have more cells than men when they are born

B. women can replace the cells .that enable the heart to beat

C. the female heart loses few of the cells with age

D. women don't lose their pumping power with age

74. If you want to live longer, you should .

A. enable your heart to beat much faster

B. find out the reason for ageing

C. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy

D. prevent your cells from being lost

75. We can know from the passage that .

A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out

B. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells

C. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss

D. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20

阅读下面短文并回答问题。（请注意问题后的次数要求）。

[1]A researcher who helped make crops grow in dry land areas received the World Food Prize last week. Daniel Hillel was recognized for his work in developing what is called "micro-irrigation" or "drip irrigation（滴灌）." It has made farming possible in places where there is little rainfall or water.

[2]Daniel Hillel's farm near his home in Israel shows his ideas at work. "Each tree row is fed by these plastic tubes that drip water at the base of the tree." Watering plants drop by drop has changed agriculture by reducing the amount of water needed to grow crops.

[3]Farmers now depend on drip irrigation in many areas, including vineyards in Spain, onion fields in Africa, and even farms in the United States. Farmers in California grow about fifty percent

of the fruits and vegetables of the continental United States. And the reason that is possible is because of these drip and micro-irrigation techniques.

[4]Daniel Hillel was born in California. After his father died, his mother moved the family to Palestine, where her parents lived. The area eventually became part of the state of Israel. Daniel Hillel got his start in dry land farming as a settler in Israel's Negev Desert in the 1950s. "The issue was efficient use of water because land is available and extensive（广阔的）while water is limited."

[5]Desert farmers were not able to push water through irrigation canals to their crops the way farmers have since ancient times. So Mr. Hillel and others gave plants just what they needed, just where they needed it. The idea was to apply the water little by little. The method worked so well that soon Mr. Hillel was traveling the world, showing others . 76. Why did Daniel Hillel win the World Food Prize?（no more than 15 words）

77. How did drip irrigation change agriculture?（no more than 12 words）

Born in 1880, Helen Keller is a well-known American woman writer with disabilities. When she was 19 months old, it was unexpected that Helen Keller was robbed by illness of sight and hearing, which caused her to become mute. Fortunately, at the age of 7, Helen met Miss Sullivan, who was very kind-hearted and helpful.

Miss Sullivan managed to help Helen learn to read, write and talk. With the help of Miss Sullivan, Helen went to study at Radcliffe College and graduated from it with honors at the age of 24. During her whole life, Helen wrote some excellent books, such as The Story of My Life and Let

Us Have Faith. Besides, she devoted all her lifetime to working for the blind and the deaf-mute both at home and abroad.

All in all, Helen's example has encouraged a lot of people whether they are normal or disabled.
