disappear.Id read The Lord of the Rings and ventured into the adult section of the library to search for a book of spellsnine being that curious age at which youre old enough to work through more than 1,200 pages of fantasy literature but young enough to still hold out hope that you might find a book of real,actual magic in the library.The book I found instead taught basic sleight-of-hand technique,and I dedicated the next months to practice.At first the magic wasnt any good.At first it wasnt even magic;it was just a tricka bad trick.I spent hours each day in the bathroom running through the secret moves in front of the mirror.I dropped the coin over and over,a thousand times in a day,and after two weeks of this my mom got a carpet from the hardware store and placed it under the mirror to muffle the sound of the coin falling again and again.I had heard my dad work through passages of new music on the piano,so I knew how to practiceslowly,deliberately,going for precision rather than speed.One day I tried the illusion in the mirror and the coin vanished.It did not look like a magic trick.It looked like a miracle.One of the lessons you learn very early on as a magician is that the most amazing part of a trick has nothing to do with the secret.The secret is simple and often dull:a hidden piece of tape,a small mirror,a duplicate playing card,diversion of the audiences attention.In this case,the secret was a series of covert(暗 中 的)technique to hide the coin behind my hand in the act of opening it,a dance of the fingers that I learned so completely I didnt even have to think.I would close my hand,then open it,and the coin would vanish not by skill but by real magic.24What book did the author intend to find in the library when he was nine years old?AA book teaching people how to make a coin disappear.BThe second book of The Lord of the Rings.CA book on how to become a magician.DA book of real magic.25The underlined word“muffle”probably means _.Aclean Bpunish Clower Dkill 26What did the author learn from his dad playing the piano?APractice makes perfect.B Without music,life is of no value.CGreat liars are also great magicians.DNo pains,no gains.27Which of the following is not mentioned as a magician trick?ACarrying out skillful hand moves.BUsing real magic to create miracles.CHiding some stage tools inside the coat.DGuiding the audience to focus on something unimportant.C Back in 1845,there were many children who were not in school and many adults who could not read or write in the state of Illinois,America.Everyone there knew public education was important but it was hard to educate children or adults without good teachers.Word went out in 1857 that the Governor of Illinois wanted to build a“normal”school.The word“normal”came from French.In France,schools that trained teachers were called“normal schools”.But the Governor stated that the location of the first“normal”school would be in the place that offered the most money to help pay for the costs of building the college.A Bloomington man named Jesse Fell was one of the first people who acted on what he heard.When Jesse Fell heard that the city that raised the most money for the school would be the home of the first teacher training school in Illinois,he started going door to door to families and businesses,asking for money to build the school.Three other cities were trying to get the Governor to build the school in their town.Then,Jesse Fell increased his efforts to raise money.In all,the city of Bloomington raised$141,000 to help the state build the normal school.Finally the school came to be built next to Bloomington.The university later moved to North Bloomington,which was incorporated(并入)in 1865 as the town of Normal.And the school,Illinois State Normal Teachers College,had its name changed to Illinois State Normal University and shortened to Illinois State University.And in that university,there is a special room called the 1857 Room to celebrate the year of 1857 when Jesse Fell took the first step in setting up Illinois State Normal University.28.We can learn from the text that the normal school in Bloomington .A.devoted to training professional teachers B.charged higher fees than other schools C.was free for the local young people D.was supported by the French government 29.What was the biggest problem that Jesse Fell faced?A.His way to raise money was wrong.B.He had to raise the most money.C.The Governor refused to offer him any help.D.Local people doubted if he could act well.30.Which of the following can best describe Jesse Fell?A.A man of wisdom.B.A man of humor.C.A man of learning.D.A man of action.31.The text is mainly about .A.the public education in Western countries B.the development of normal schools in Illinois C.the foundation of the first normal school in Illinois D.a brief introduction to a Bloomington man,Jesse Fell D As children grow,so does their desire to become independent.As parents,we need to recognize this desire,and encourage it in the right way.When our children grow up and become more independent,we will see many changes in them.Their self-confidence will increase as they are now able to do things that were once beyond their ability.Often they will become more willing to take risks and try new things.Our job is to find the right balance between childrens desire for independence and the need to keep our kids safe.Kids need to be allowed,in fact encouraged,to take some risks.The goal for parents is to determine how much risk is appropriate(适当的).The right risk level for your child will depend on their age,developmental level,and character.It will change over time,and there are few fast rules that can be used for every child.It is impossible for any of us to live completely risk-free.So what should parents do?We must encourage them to explore their world,while setting clear limits where safety is an issue;we should let them make their own choices,while pointing out the consequences(后果)that may arise from those choices;we cannot take their steps for them.We can only point out the path.Its hard to imagine when they are small.But someday they will be walking,riding a bike,and even driving!However,if we are overprotective,they are likely to grow up ill-prepared to meet the challenges they must face.32.According to the author,what should parents do when their children want to take risks?A.Encourage them to try bravely.B.Give as much advice as they need.C.Persuade their children to give up.D.Judge how much risk is appropriate.33.According to the author,children are willing to take risks because _.A.they are not satisfied with their lives B.they think they can become a hero C.they become more confident in themselves D.they want to do something against their parents 34.In the third paragraph,the author suggests that parents should _.A.ask children to set clear limits B.allow children to choose their risks C.accept the consequences of the risk D.prepare children well for life challenges 35.The main purpose of the text is to tell parents to _.A.make friends with their children B.build up their childrens confidence C.protect their children from any danger D.encourage their children to be independent 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
