如固定搭配，形容词副词的区别，名词的用法等。

41.live 考查主谓一致。

百分数+of+加名词作主语时，谓语动词用取决于of后的名词的单复数，population为复数含义，所以填live。

42.kinds 考查短语。

all kinds of各种各样的，为固定短语。

三、阅读理解
19. When Josephine Cooper was growing up, she learned the importance of charity from her parents. Although they made a modest living for their family of 10, they insisted on sharing with those less fortunate.
Half a century later, Mrs. Cooper became a beloved volunteer at the San Diego Food Bank, where she devoted herself to helping others. She organized and ran a distribution center from a church, helping it become the organization’s largest emergency food distribution cent er in San Diego. She was one of 25 outstanding senior volunteers in the nation selected and invited to Washington D.C. to receive the award.
“She was the main person who helped us make that program grow,” said Mike Doody, former director of the Food Bank. “She had a way of getting people to work together and to work hard. She was determined and stubborn, but in a good way. She had a good heart.” People knew her as “Grandma” because of her selflessness and her devotion to helping hungry children and families. “She reminded people of their Grandma.” Doody said.
As a widow with a young child in 1979, Mrs. Cooper was helped through a difficult financial time when the Food Bank provided her with groceries. “She dedicated her life to giving back,” said her daughter, Monica Cooper. “She loved life, and she loved people. She was very outgoing, caring and very concerned about our community.”
Cooper said it wasn’t unusual for a local church to call Mrs. Cooper to ask her to aid a needy family. “She would give people f ood out of her cupboard. Sometimes we would cook a meal for a family living out of their car,” Cooper said.
Although Mrs. Cooper was honored to receive the national award for her volunteer work, she said being able to help others was her reward. Mrs. Cooper was confined to a wheelchair in recent years. She died of liver disease and kidney failure this year, aged 93.
56. The underlined word “charity” in Paragraph 1 refers to .
A. offering help

C. providing services
D. showing sympathy
57. The San Diego Food Bank is meant to .
A. distribute food in case of emergency

选项中有一项为多余选项。

How to become a better student
Maybe 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 is how.
When planning your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange 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 the problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
61．______
Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this place, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios or TV! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
62．______
Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking class notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
63．______
When you get home from schools, 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 the 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.
64．______
The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you to 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.
65．______
