Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have 31 how difficult it is to write a 32 children's book. Either the author has aimed too 33 , so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 34 the story seems to be talking to the readers.The best children's books are neither very difficult nor very simple, and 35 both the 36 who hears the story and the adult who 37 it. Unfortunately, there are in fact 38 books like this, 39 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 40 to solve.This may be why many of books regarded as 41 of children's literature were in fact written for 42 .“Alice's Adventure in Wonderland”is perhaps the most 43 of this.Children, left for themselves, often 44 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or 45 and he will 46 willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 47 of teachers and right-thinking parents.Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children 48 our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 49 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 50 books. So I suppose we'll just have to compromise over that bedtime story.31.A.hoped B. realized C. told D. said32.A.short B. long C. bad D. good33.A.easy B. short C. high D. difficult34.A.and B. but C. or D. so35.A.interest B. satisfy C. meet D .attract36.A.child B. father C. mother D. teacher.37.A.hears B. buys C. understands D. reads38.A.few B. many C .a great deal of D. a great number of39.A.but B. however C. so D. because40.A.hard B. easy C. possible D. fast41.A.articles B. work C. arts D. works42.A.grown-ups B. girls C. boys D. children43.A.difficult B. hidden C. obvious D. easy44.A.have B. show C. find D. add45.A.school B. home C. office D. library46.A.more B. less C. possible D. be47.A.lovingness B. interests C. objections D. readings48.A.receiving B. accepting C. having D. refusing49.A.same B. friendly C. different D. commonmon B. average C. different D. same第三部分：阅读理解（共16小题，每小题2分，满分32分）( A )Snoopy and Lou were robbers. Half a year ago, they decided to plan another bank robbery. It was to be their last one. Then they would give up this business and live a comfortable life. The job was so well done that the judge who sent them to prison for fifteen years each said it was the cleverest robbery of the century, and it was a pity that their car had used up its petrol not far from the bank.After they were in prison for a few weeks, Snoopy and Lou decided to escape. Soon they worked out a plan as good as any they had ever made. Even the smallest points were considered carefully. They planned as a team because they lived in the same room, and because the guards, who had a great deal of respect for the famous robbers, left them very much alone. They decidedthe quickest and safest way to escape was to squeeze themselves along a drain(下水道) from their present workplace in the prison to a quiet country road on the other side of the prison wall.The great day arrived, and the pair started along the drain. With great difficulty, they squeezed themselves along for what seemed ages. In half an hour, they could see daylight. When they got out, the two men were so pleased with themselves at their success that they sloped each other on the back. It was only then that they realized they were not alone. They looked around, and found themselves facing thirty astonished policemen, who were carrying musical instruments of various sorts. The next morning the same judge seemed very sorry as he told Snoopy and Lou that the map of the prison drain system, which they had studied so carefully, was more than twenty years old, and that the quiet country road was no longer there. The drain now led directly to the parade ground, where the police band had just finished practicing when the two robbers appeared before them.51.

They planned to climb over the prison wall, on the other side of whichwas a quiet country road.C. They planned to crawl along the drain which led to a country road.D. They planned to get to the parade ground through the drain whichwas empty when the police band was not practicing.52. Snoopy and Lou failed in their plan to escape because ________.A. they did not plan well beforehandB. they were not quick enough in their actionC. the policemen had been keeping a watchful eye on themD. the map of the prison drain system they used was out of date53. According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. When Snoopy and Lou got out of the drain, thirty policemen were waiting for them.B. When Snoopy and Lou found themselves facing thirty policemen, they turned round and ran in the direction of the country road.C. The policemen caught Snoopy and Lou by chance.D. The policemen were frightened more than surprised when the two robbers suddenly appeared before them.54. It seemed that the judge ______.A. admired Snoopy and Lou for their clevernessB. felt very proud to try(审判) the two famous robbers for their crimeC. was very angry at Snoopy and Lou’s breaking the law time and againD. was unwilling to send the two famous robbers to prison.( B )How to Become a Better StudentMaybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to Here’s how:1) Plan your time carefully. When planning your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.2) Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.3) Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.4) Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.5) Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried.There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.55. According to the text, a schedule may not include____________.A. a list of things that you have to doB. what we have to do every dayC. enough time for entertainmentD. something will happen unexpectedly56. A good place for study should be a place where____________.A. everything needed is available at handB. a writing desk is in the corner of a room onlyC. nothing is there except your study materialsD. it is comfortable to stay57. "Take advantage of class time" doesn’t include____________.A. paying attention to what the teacher says carefullyB. making a note of something importantC. following the teacher all the timeD. listening to the teacher attentively58. The last sentence in Tip Five suggests“____________”.A. tests are the most necessary part in your studyB. take tests as a friend in need in your studyC. the world will come to an end unless you pass all testsD. never let tests trouble you in your study( C )Having reached the highest point of our route according to plan, we discovered something the map had not told us. It was impossible to climb down into the Kingo valley. The river lay deep between mountain sides that were almost vertical（垂直）.We couldn’t find any animal tracks, which usually show the best way across country, and the slopes were covered so thickly with bushes that we could not see the nature of the ground. We had somehow to break through to theriver which would give us our direction out of the mountains into the inhabited lowlands.Our guide cut a narrow path through the bushes with his long knife and we followed in single file. Progress was slow. Then, when we thought we had really reached the river, we found ourselves instead on the edge of a cliff with a straight drop of 1,000 feet to the water below. We climbed back up the slope and began to look for another way down. We climbed slipped, sweated and scratched our hands to pieces and finally arrived at the river. Happily we came downhill along its bank without having to cut our way. However, after a few miles the river entered a steep-sided gap between rocks and suddenly dropped thirty-five feet over a waterfall. There was no path alongside it and no way round it.Then one of the guides saw a way of overcoming the difficulty. There was a fallen tree lying upside down over the waterfall with its leafy top resting on the opposite bank below the falls. Without hesitation he climbed down the slippery trunk to show us how easy it was. Having got to the fork of the tree, he moved hand over hand along a branch for four or five feet with his legs hanging in space, then he dropped onto the flat bank the other side, throwing his arms in the air like a footballer who has scored goal, and cheerfully waving us on.59.Having reached the highest point on their route, the travelers expected to be able to . A．track animals to the riverB．put away the maps they had been usingC．come near to the river from a different directionD．get down to the river without much difficulty.60.The travelers wanted to get to the river because .A．it would lead them to the waterfallB．it would show them which way to goC．it was the only possible way out of the mountainsD．it was a quicker way than going over the mountains61.One reason why the travelers took so long to get to the river was that .A．it was too hot to move quickly B．there was no proper pathC．they all tried to go different ways D．they could not follow the animal tracks62.To get past the waterfall the guide had to .A．use a fallen tree as a kind of bridge B．cross the river above the waterfallC．slide down a steep river bank D．swing across the river from a high branch( D )Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants, but in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of theattractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more womanly and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly" qualities required.This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told what the photographs were of. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.63. According to the passage, attractive people are those who are ______.A. good-lookingB. humorousC. well-educatedD. capable64. The author of the passage intended to show us that people' s views on beauty are ______.A. out-of-dateB. practicalC. reasonableD. one-sided65. Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. Appearance is important in finding a good job.B. Attractiveness is of great advantage to his or her success.C. Attractiveness is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women when it comes to politics.D. Attractiveness has more effect on men than on women.66. In traditional female jobs, attractiveness ______.A. strengthens the womanly qualities requiredB. always makes it easier for women to succeed quicklyC. makes women look more honest and capableD. can be a liability第二卷(非选择题;共28分)四：短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。
