第一节：阅读下列短文，从A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。

A
The Pillow
At the age of sixteen, I joined a volunteer group with my dad. I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that “our family" was living in a trailer (拖车）that was in poor condition。

A crew had been working on it for two weeks，but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced.
We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house-something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet
with three bedrooms，a bath and a kitchen。

On Tuesday of that week，while we ate lunch together, I asked the family's three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room？” Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for，we were astonished when Josh responded，“I just want a bed。

”The boys had never slept in a bed！They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift。

On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding。

When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise。

We could hardly contain ourselves。

It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning。

That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together，Eric ran into the house to watch us。

Too dirty to enter his room，he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway。

As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, “What is that?”
“A pillow，” he replied.
“What do you do with it?” Eric co ntinued to ask. ks*5u
“When you go to sleep, you put your head on it，” I answered softly。

Tears came to my eyes as my father handed Eric the pillow.“Oh…that’s soft," he said，hugging it tightly。

Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent,
my dad gently asks，“Do you have a pillow?"
We know exactly what he means.
41。

The writer’s first volunteer project was ______.
A. working on a poor trailer

A。

the family lived in a trailer B。

he expected to get some toys
C. he didn’t know what a bed was
D. the boys had no bed to sleep in

By saying “Do you have a pillow？”, the writer's father means that ______。

A。

what they want to get may be unnecessary
B。

they should not waste money on small things
C. they should do more volunteer work for the poor
D。

what he will buy is not what they want but a pillow
B

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However, whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry．Golf，as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water．Besides, all sorts of
chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场）in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas．
There are many environment-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today．You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes；and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit．If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control. Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environment—friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials．But the final goal should be “green gyms"．They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers．Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces．There is no special requirement for you to start your membership．And best of all, it’s free。

49．The author thinks the golf is resource—hungry because of the following EXCEPT that ________。

A．Golf wastes large areas of countryside
B．Golf runs out of much water
C．Golf is bad for people’s health
D．Keeping golf court in good condition needs too much energy 50．According to the passage，which of the following is an environment—friendly sport?
A．hiking in the hills B．swimming in the pool
C．playing basketball in the gym D．motor racing in the desert
51．The reason why the author uses power walking as an example mainly is that ________。

A．it improves our health B．it is an outdoor sport
C．it is recommended by experts D.it uses fewer resources 52．The passage is developed mainly by
________。

A．examples and explanation B．comparison and persuasion
C．facts and descriptions D．figures and conclusion
D
Learners report two main difficulties in reading，which may be linked. There are too many unknown words and as a result reading is simply not a pleasure. For some students，even reading in their own language is a chore。

Having a wide vocabulary is essential to making sense of written
language. Of course，this is a circular argument, because the more you read the more vocabulary you learn and the more words you know the more easily you can read。

Don’t make the mistake of reading with your dictionary beside you，looking up every single new or doubtful word。

This is laborious and prevents you from practicing the skill of prediction。

Sometimes in reading you find a word you know but the sense doesn't seem to fit in。

This is not surprising because words have so many meanings and degrees of meaning。

What is more, part of their meaning is shaped by the words around them。

Keep looking at the surrounding words and asking yourself “what sort of meaning would make sense here?”
The more that people study the reading process, the better they can pass on to language learners a range of advice to choose from. People have learned to read in all kinds of ways。

Here is some information that could help you plan to be a better reader in the foreign language you are studying。

1)Work out the general meaning first
When people read in a new language they often feel they must take a detailed approach，focusing on every word, particul arly those they don’t know。

They read as if they were using a microscope, looking carefully at each of the small pieces(the individual words），but not necessarily seeing the whole picture at first。

This is called the “bottom-up" approach. Other readers try to look first at the big picture（the “top-down”
approach），attending to individual bricks only as necessary，a process that involves some intelligent guesswork。

Generally this second approach is recommended by successful learners. ks*5u
2）Interactive reading
Another way of thinking about reading is to describe it as an interactive process, where the text brings something to you and you bring something to the text。

Readers bring together all their knowledge of the world with what they see on the page in front of them。

That is why, when reading in our own language，we don’t need to read every word. We add meaning which is not actually stated。

3）From supported reading to independent reading
Language learners start by needing considerable support as they read. Textbooks supply this support in the form of introductions that summaries the contents，glossaries，pictures, explanations of new grammar points. In your reading you need to move gradually from this support to reading more the text itself。

53。

According to the author, ________。

A. looking up the dictionary is of great help for the understanding
B。

reading more promotes the gaining of vocabulary
C。

the more you read，the less useful the dictionary will be
D。

the amount of vocabulary is the key to reading
54. Successful learners recommend ________.
A。

trying to look first at the big picture B。

looking carefully at each of
the small pieces
C。

focusing on every word D。

“bottom—up” approach
55. The word “chore" in the first paragraph maybe means ________。

A. an important aspect
B. a difficult and tiring thing
C。

an easy question D. something special
56。

You come across a new or doubtful word when you are reading, you can ________。

A. just miss it and let it be
B. keep looking at the surrounding words C。

look it up in the dictionary each time D。

make sense of it with the help of dictionary
E
Let's pretend we’re sailing down the Rhine River on a pleasure boat。

The Rhine is one of the main waterways of Germany，and the river traffic is heavy。

It’s interesting to watch the many boats going up and down the river。

But the river traffic is not nearly so interesting as the beautiful scenery along the banks and hillsides. The boat is passing many old castles. We can see people working in the vineyards （葡萄园) on the hillsides. There are vineyards as far as the eye can see. Wine from the Rhine Valley is famous all over the world。

Suddenly our boat slows down and begins to turn a little。

We are coming to a sharp bend in the river. On our right we can see a rocky cliff over 400 feet high. At first it looks quite ordinary，but there is nothing ordinary about it。

There are many stories, poems，and songs about the cliff. We are looking at the Lorelei。

The someone on the boat begins to sing in German, the song of the Lorelei. It is a song about a beautiful siren （美女）who has lured many sailors to their deaths.
The siren is supposed to sit on the rock combing her long golden hair and singing。

The sailors who hear her forget to steer, and the current of river hurls their boats on the rocks and dashes them to pieces.
Soon other people on the boat begin to sing. The beautiful song adds to special magic to the moment，and you begin to realize why so many people have made this trip down the Rhine to see the rock of the Lorelei. 57。

The more interesting thing to those who are sailing down the Rhine River on a pleasure boat is 。

A。

to watch many boats going up and down the river
B. to see the beautiful scenery along the banks and hillsides
C. to hear a song about beautiful siren
D。

With the development of economy，more and more greenhouse gases are being discharged into the air. CO2 makes up about 70%of the greenhouse gases，which is considered to be one of the greatest causes of global warming. It has harmful effects, causing the sea level to rise and many natural disasters to strike.
So we must take effective measures to save our planet。

First, we should use more clean energy and less coal and oil. Second, we should go to work on foot or by bus instead of driving a car if possible. Third, we should plant more trees to beautify and purify the environment，because plants can turn CO2 into oxygen。

More importantly，we should form the habit of saving energy in our daily lire。
