AThe words “timetable” and “schedule” make most final year students want to eat their own vomit（呕吐物）. Unfortunately, the harsh reality is that final year students must develop a timetable. If you don’t have a schedule or plan for studying ,you will have no way of allocating your valuable time when the unexpected arises. A well-thought-out timetable can be a lifesaver . It is up to you to learn how to develop a schedule that meets your needs .Change it if necessary ,but most important ,follow it . All timetables should be made with the idea that they can be changed. A good one will keep you from wandering off course.A good timetable should make every hour count—every class ,social event and other activity you engage in .You must focus on the other “free time” available and how you will use it .Make a weekly schedule and divided each day into one-hour increments. Indicate times for classes ,socializing ,and work time. Also block off a period for sleeping every day. In the precious hours left over ,plan time for study .This givesyou a rough road map of the time available. Of course ,you can change your schedule as circumstances need.The timetable you develop should guide you in how to distribute the available time in the most productive manner .Sticking to your schedule can be tough ,but don’t dribble away valuable time. Avoiding study is the easiest thing in the world .It is up to you to follow the schedule yo u’ve prepared .A good deal of your success in high school and with any future study depends on this simple truth.Remember ,there is a learning curve. You learn the most in the first 30 minutes of study; after that ,it progressively deteriorates（减弱）. After four or five hours of studying the same material in the same way, you are learning virtually nothing. The solution is to keep switching subjects and study styles.21．What is the best title of the passage?A．Advantages of starting a timetable B．Keep to it , and you will succeed C．Make a schedule ,and follow it D．Learn to love your timetable22．What does Paragraph 2 talk about?A．Tips for making a schedule B．Significance of a scientific timetable C．Requirements for making a timetable D．Import ance of following one’s schedule 23．The following are characteristics of a good timetable EXCEPT that ________. A．it can be changed B．it is flexibleC．it is of many periods D．it can save our timeBAn idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits,studyguides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong kong.In Chicago, the mayor(市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in New York , where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy.And passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. Ultimate was Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process. Or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.24. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.25. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A. They had little interest in reading.B. They were too busy to read a book.C. They came from many different backgroundsD. They lacked support from the locate government26. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large communities with little sense of unityB. In large cities where libraries are far from homeC. In medium-sized cities with a diverse populationD. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached27.The underlined words “shared a word”in Paragraph 5 probably mean _________.A. exchanged ideas with each otherB. discussed the meaning of a wordC. gamed life experienceD. used the same languageCLONDON Thursday July 26 (Reuters) — Eddy missed his girlfriend so much he flew back to Britain from Australia to propose（求婚）to her. The problem is she did the same in the opposite direction.He and Anna even managed to miss each other when they sat in the same airport waiting room in Singapore at the same time to wait for connecting flights.Anna, heartbroken, when she arrived at Eddy’s Sydney flat to find he had flow to London, told The Times, “It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us.”“He is the most romantic person I have ever known. I think our problem is that we are both quite impulsive (冲动的) people. We are always trying to surprise each other.”After an 11,000-mile flight across the globe, she was greeted by Eddy’s astonished roommate asking what she was doing there.Eddy, a 27-year-old engineer had taken a year off to travel round Australia. But he was missing Anna, a 26-year-old secretary, so much he got a job on a Sydney building site (工地) and started saving for a surprise.He then flew home to Britain and went to her flat armed with an engagement（订婚）ring, wine and flowers.“I really missed Anna and I’d been thinking about her all the time. I was so excited when she phoned me from Australia,” he said.Eddy then asked Anna to marry him on the phone. “I did n’t know whether to laughor cry but I accepted,” she said.Anna was given a tour of Sydney by Eddy’s friends before going back home.

Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nes ts（鸟巢）. Instead, they get into o ther birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive(收养的) parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her, either.32. A plover protects its young from a predator by______.A. getting closer to its youngB. driving away the adult predatorC. leaving its young in another nestD. pretending to be injured33. By "Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky" (paragraph 5), the author means______.A. chimps are ready to attack othersB. chimps are sometimes dishonestC. chimps are jealous of the winnersD. chimps can be selfish too34. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.B. The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand.C. Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.D. Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Do animals lie?B. Does Mother Nat ure fool animals?C. How do animals learn to lie?D. How does honesty help animals survive?第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10 分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
