AThe clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before a huge pile of troublesome things they call “books”.I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer, in fact I dared not.The clock struck 12. “Oh, dear!” I cried, “ten more books to read before I can go to bed!”We pupils are the most wretched(可怜的) creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learnt. I was too tired to goon. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, Please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were heavy, so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.46. When the author was going over his lessons, all the others in the house were_____ .A. asleepB. workingC. outsideD. watching TV47. Reviewing his lessons di dn’t help him at all because ____________.A. he thought it was useless doing this at nightB. his parents were not able to help himC. his eyes were so heavy that he couldn’t keep them openD. he hadn’t stud ied hard before the examination48. What do you suppose happened to the author later？A. He went to a church to pray againB. He passed the exam by luckC. He failed in the examD. He was punished by his teacherBWith the new school year quickly coming near (or perhaps, for your early-starters, already under way), it’s time to get ready for a successful term. And while you may be cleaning your wardrobe(壁柜), it’s equally important to freshen up your study skills, too.Have you ever noticed that your study habits are different from those of your friends? Or how you seem to learn faster in certain classes? Some people are quick to blame the professor or su bject for their difficulties, but that isn’t always the cause. One thing that many people seem to ignore is their learning type.Now, you may be wondering what a learning type is and how to find yours. There are three different learning types: Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic. You can be a combination of learning types, but most people have one main type.1. Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily get information from pictures, graphs, and videos, you are likely a visual learner.2. Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to remember things by hearing them, whether listening to a lecture or repeating information out loud, then you are likely an auditory learner.3. Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands or testing out what you are shown, you are likely a kinesthetic learner.So now that you know your personal learning style, the trick is to find out how to use your new-found knowledge to help you in your classes.49. According to the speaker, why are some students slower than others in a certain subject?A. Because they find the subject too difficult.B. Because they have lost interest in the subject.C. Because their teacher is not good enough.D. Because they don’t know their learning type.50. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “combination”?A. successB. mixtureC. wonderD. model51. Stephen loves science and usually does experiments with his classmates in the lab to test whathe has learned. So what type of learner is he?A. VisualB. AuditoryC. KinestheticD. Both A and B52. What do you think the speaker is going to do next?A. To give further explanation to the three types of learners.B. To give clear examples of the three types of learners.C. To make a survey about the three types of learners.D. To suggest different study skills to different types of learners.CWhen I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear t he truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve neve r had a better piece of advice.53. What does “Week by week her list grew” mean in the first paragraph?A. As time went by, she discovered more shortcomings of mine.B. She made a longer list of my shortcomings the next week.C. She more and more disliked me as time went by.D. She added one more shortcoming on the list every week.54. What did the father ask her daughter to do when she complained about her “enemy”?A. To pay no attention to her “enemy’s” gossiping.B. To keep away from her “enemy” at school.C. To write down what the girl said and accept the truth.D. To do whatever she wanted to as usual.55. Why did her father refuse to take the list her daughter made?A. Because he wanted her daughter to perfect herself.B. Because what the list said were not his shortcomings.C. Because he thought the list didn’t belong to him.D. Because he believed the list could be well kept by her.56. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?A. Not an Enemy, But a Good FriendB. The Best Advice I’ve Ever HadC. My Father and ID. My Childhood第二节：阅读下列材料，从所给A、B、C、D四个选项中选出符合各小题要求的最佳答案，并将答案填涂在答题卡上。
