A
A month after Hurricace Katrina, I returned home in New Orleans. There lay my house, reduced to waist-high rains, smelly and dirty.
Before the trip, I’d had my car fixed. When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill, she noticed my Louisiana license plate. “You from New Orleans?” she asked. I said I was, “No charge.” She said, and firmly shock her head when I reached for my wallet. The next day I went for a haircut, and the same thing happened.
As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage（抵押贷款）on our ruined house. We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory. We’d began to accept that we’d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while, when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kemmedy in California. He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for state, the online magazine and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”) a new house across the lake from New Orleans.
It sounded a good to her return, but I replied, thinking him for his exceptional generosity, then we to go back. Then the University of Florida offered to let him house to me. While he want to England on his one year, paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kemdedy, and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months.
Throughout this painful experience , the kindness of strangers back my faith in humanity .It’s almost worth losing you wordy possessions to be reminded that people really when given had a channel.

C．doubt D．tolerance

A．He was a written of an online magazine.

B．rents were comparatively reasonable despite the disaster
C．houses were difficult to find in the hurricane-stricken area
D．the mortgage on the ruined house was paid off by the bank
59．The author learned from his experience that
A．worldly possessions can be given up when necessary
B．generosity should be encouraged in some cases
C．people benefit from their sad stories
D．human beings are kind after all.
【答案与解析】

her head when I reached for my wallet.”可知修车店的员工听说作者从新奥尔良来,不收作者的钱,是同情作者。

57. C 这是一道推断题。

根据第三段“He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for slate,the online magazine and wanted to give us (‘no conditions attached’) a new house across the lake from New Orleans.”可知他想向作者免费提供一所新房子。

58. A 这是一道推理题。

根据第三段“we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage on our ruined house.”可知作者要租房子又要还贷款,经济状况不好。

59. D 这是一道推理题。

根据最后一段“Throughout this painful experience,the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity.”可知虽然作者经历了自然灾难,但是陌生的好心人让作者又对人的慈善又重新树立了信心,说明作者认为人还是善良的。

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 Patten J.K Rowling’s wizard is n ot 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 lard of the Rings.
Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics in 1997 23% said they didn’t like reading in all. In 2003, 35% did. And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.
Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computes games. Maybe the books boom 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 wined at six year olds, who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation either 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 primacy school they read well, but read text often for fun than those elsewhere .Reading for fun matters because children who are been on reading can report lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success . According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.
60．Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1?
A．Marry children’s books have been adapted from films.
B．Marry 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.
61．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 primacy school children read properly
D．a huge percentage of children read regularly
62．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.
63．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 make excellent future researchers
64．The arm of this text would probably be _________.
A．to overcome primary school pupils reading difficulty.
B．to encou rage 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
【答案与解析】
60. B 这是一道推断题。

根据第一段“...the past decade has been a harvest for good children’s books,which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales of classics such as The lord of the Rings.”可知这一年内还是有很多好的儿童书籍出版。

61. B 这是一道推断题。

根据第二段“Yet despite that,reading is increasingly unpopular among children.”可知虽然(有很多好书出版),但是阅读在孩子们中间越来越不流行,也就是对阅读感兴趣的孩子越来越少。

62. D 这是一道推断题。

根据第四段“An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months’ progress in just one year,whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months’progress”可知参加读书恢复计划的孩子一年内取得了20个月的进步,而没有得到帮助的孩子只取得了5个月的。

可以推断出参加计划的孩子阅读水平有明显提高。

63. C 这是一道推断题。

根据最后一段“Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success.”可知以读书作为乐趣的孩子会对读书产生一生的爱好,爱好读书是教育成功的绝好指导者。

When Andrea Peterson landed her first teaching job, she faced the daunting task of creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standards-based learning was the focus and music just provided a break for students and teachers.
For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges, she’s been named nati onal teacher of the year.
Principal Waynes Kettler said he’s worked with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator, but Peterson is “just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before.”
Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music.
When students were reading S.E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders i n their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a 30-minute play with scenes from the book. Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused no race, equality and social justice, the themes of the book. Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book.

As national teacher of the year, Peterson will spend the more year outside the classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education.

Sports shoes that out whether their owner has enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in the UK.
The shoes—named Square Eyes—contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day’s efforts.
The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London, UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,” she says. “And I wanted to tackle that with my design.”
Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.
Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.
Existing pedometers （计步器）normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,” she says. “That was o ne of my main design considerations.”
71．According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to ________.
A．keep a record of the steps of the wearer
B．deal with overweight among teenagers
C．enable children to resist the temptation of TV

A．The exact number of steps to be taken.
B．The precise number of hours spent on TV.
C．The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.
D．The way of changing steps into TV watching time.

D．sends teenagers’ health data to the receiver
