To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In 16 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 17 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 18_ readers. Most of us develop poor reading 19 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency缺乏 20 in the actual stuff of language itself words. Taken individually, words have little meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 21 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing退回 to 22 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over what you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 23 down the speed of reading is vocalization sounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 24 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined预先确定的 speedThe bar is set at a slightly faster rate 25 the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch him. The device forces the reader to read fast, 26 word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization默读practically impossible.

Many people have found their reading skill greatly improved after some training. 29 Charlie Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 182 words a minute.

They have an amazing four-part philosophy. First, ants never quit. They'll climb over, they'll climb under, and they'll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat(了不起的) philosophy it is to never quit _32_(look) for a way to get _33_you're supposed to go! Second, ants think about winter and summer. That's _34_ important attitude. You can't be _35_ naïve(幼稚的) as to think summer will last forever. People who have a little experience are clear about this. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer. Its important to be realistic. You have to think about rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead. The third part is that ants think summer all winter. During the winter, they remind_36_, "This won't last long; we'll soon be out of here." And _37_the first warm day, the ants are out. If it _38_(turn) cold again, they'll dive back down. But they come out again if it is warm. They can't wait _39_(get) out. Last, how much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that it _40_ (possible) can. What a great philosophy to have-the ant philosophy：never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.第二局部 阅读 (共两节，总分值40分)第一节 阅读理解 (共15小题；每题2分，总分值30分)ABoys schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (男子气概), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to be consistent to a stereotype, a US study says.Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their abilities to express their emotions, rather than feeling they had to obey to the “boy code of hiding their emotions to be a “real man.The findings of the study are against the received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being ignored by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boyslearning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the studys author, Abigail James of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have sharper vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern type in which violence and sexism are major themes, James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to give in to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge in relationships. “In mixed schools boys feel pressed to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means, the study reported.41. The author believes that a single-sex school would _ . A. force boys to hide their emotions to be “real men B. help to form masculine aggressiveness in boys C. encourage boys to express their emotions more freely D. naturally place emphasis on the traditional image of a man to boys42. It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys _ . A. perform relatively better B. grow up more healthily C. behave more responsibly D. receive a better education43. What does Tony Little say about the British education system? A. It fails more boys than girls academically. B. It focuses more on mixed school education. C. It fails to give boys the attention they need. D. It places more pressure on boys than on girls.44. According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is _. A. teaching can be adapted to suit the characteristics of boys B. boys can focus on their lessons without being absent-minded C. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in D. teaching can be designed to promote boys team spirit45. Which of the following is the characteristic of boys according to Abigail James report? A. They enjoy being in charge. B. They act the same to stereotypes. C. They have sharper vision. D. They are violent and sexist.BThere exist cruel wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, so its not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us go through difficult times in our lives. Putting a smile on someones face when you know they are feeling depressed, as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart. How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I dont know the person Im joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is a common manner to speak to others that are around you. I know of a few people that dont have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They dont get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke? Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to avoid the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. Therefore, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.46. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that _.A. it can pick up peoples spirits B. it can help people get on well with othersC. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the world D. it makes people more confident 47. The author answers the question in the second paragraph with _.A. facts and descriptions B. evidence and argumentC. examples and conclusion D. stories and persuasion48. The underlined phrase “busting a gut in the 3rd paragraph can be replaced by . A. keeping silent B. speaking loud C. laughing hard D. explaining carefully49. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to _. A. talk about his own understanding of humor B. encourage people to be humorous in daily life C. introduce a practical way to get through daily life D. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life50. What is the authors attitude towards the present world? A. Indifferent B. Positive C. Satisfied D. CriticalC Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there is no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your childrens curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven year- olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in science. Finally I said, Now that weve finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science? After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “have you ever seen a grasshopper eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why? This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that. After asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers. Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, dont jump in with “Thats right or “very good. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “Thats interesting or “Id never thought of it that way before, or coming up with more questions or ideas. Never push a child to “think. It doesnt make sense; children are always thinking, without your telling them to. Whats more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a small target for your disagreement. Lastly, show; dont tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifyin
