二、阅读理解Reading Comprehension
Passage 1
George Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America’s greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.
Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way—from jazz to country.
In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.
In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition（作曲）with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics（评论家）were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.
George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.
61．Many of Gershwin’s musical works were ______.
A．written about New Yorkers B．Composed for Paul Whiteman
C．played mainly in the countryside D．performed in various ways
62．What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?
A．It attracted more people to theatres B．It proved jazz could be serious music
C．It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra D．It caused a debate among jazz musicians.
63．What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?
A．He created one of his best works B．He studied with Nadia Boulanger
C．He argued with French critics D．He changed his music style
64．What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Many of Gershwin’s works were lost B．The death of Gershwin was widely reported
C．A concert was held in memory of Gershwin D．Brain cancer research started after Gershwin’s death. 65．Which of the following best describes Gershwin?
A．Talented and productive B．Serious and boring C．popular and unhappy D．Friendly and honest Passage 2
In 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I look what I could get—a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen—teaching English.
School started, but I fell more and more as if I were in a foreign country. Was this rural area really New Jersey?
My students took a week off when hunting season began. I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms. I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a good time.
But, still, I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class—seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room.
In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students positive attention. It sounds reasonable, but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem reasonable. By the time my boss, who was also my taskmaster known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.
My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasn’t happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the room, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes he left, silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.
I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period I had to face him. I wondered if he would let me finish out the day. I walked to his office, took a deep breath, and opened the door.
He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard. I said nothing. All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself, pretending that everything was fine.
When he spoke, he said simply, without accusation, “You had nothing to say to them.”
“You had nothing to say to them,” he repeated. “No wonder they’re bored. Why not get to the meal of the literature and stop talking about symbolism. Talk with them, not at them. And more important, why do you ignore their bad behavior?” We talked. He named my problems and offered solutions. We role-played. He was the bad student, and I was the forceful, yet, warm, teacher.
As the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human beings and their motivations. He helped me identify my weaknesses and my strengths. In short, he made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emerson’s words:“ The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil.”
Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school. Thanks to the help I received that difficult first year, the school is my home now.
55．It can be inferred from the story that in 1974 ______.
A．the writer became an optimistic person B．the writer was very happy about her new job
C．it was rather difficult to get a job in the USA D．it was easy to get a teaching job in New Jersey 56．According to the passage, which of the following is most probably the writer’s problem as a new teacher?

Test 训练5
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10, 000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
31．Paragraph 1mainly talks about ______.
A．the reasons for success B．the meaning of success
C．The standards of success D．the importance of success
32．In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “that” refers to ______.
A．being good at something B．setting a practical goal
C．putting in more time D．succeeding in life
33．Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.
A．work makes one feel pain B．one tends to enjoy his work
C．one gives up his work easily D．it takes a lot of time to succeed
34．What can we infer from Paragraph4?
A．Successful people like to show their great skills.
B．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C．People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
35．What is the main theme of the passage?
A．Having a goal is vital to success.
B．Being good is different from being great.
C．One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D．Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
C
One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.
The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
“It’s your turn,” he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one—without any words—can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.
36．When he first met the author, David ______.
A．felt a little excited
B．walked energetically
C．looked a little nervous
D．showed up with his teacher
37．As a psychologist, the author ______.
A．was ready to listen to David B．was skeptical about psychology
C．was able to describe David’s problem D．was sure of handling David’s problem 38．David enjoyed being with the author because he______.
A．wanted to ask the author for advice B．need to share sorrow with the author
C．liked the children’s drawings in the office D．bear the author many times in the chess game 39．What can be inferred about David?
A．He recovered after months of treatment.B．He liked biking before he lost his family.
C．He went into university soon after starting to talk.D．He got friends in school before he met the author. 40．What made David change?
A．His teacher’s help.B．The author’s friendship.
C．His exchange of letters with the author.D．The author’s silent communication with him.
三、阅读表达
阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题.
The habit of reading is one of the greatest resources known to mankind, and I enjoy reading books that belong to me much more than if they are borrowed. A borrowed book is like a guest in the house and it should be treated with care. You cannot leave it carelessly, you cannot mark it, and you cannot use it as you like. And then, someday, you really ought to return it. If it is a distinguished guest, it really makes you feel empty when he or she leaves. It’s the same with a good book.
However, your own books belong to you. Books are for use, not for show; you should own no books that you are afraid to mark up, or afraid to place on the table, wide open and face down. A good reason for marking favorite passages in books is that this practice enables you to remember more easily the significant passages and to refer to them quickly.
One should have one’s own bookshelves, which should not have doors, glass windows or keys; they should be free and easy to use.
My devotion to reading has never made me a person who lives alone. How could it be? Books are of the people, by the people and for the people. Literature is an immortal part of history; it is the best and most lasting part of personality. The truth of our life is that the great dead are beyond our reach, and the great living are usually almost as unreachable; as for our personal friends, we cannot always see them. Perhaps they are asleep, or away on a journey. Book friends have an advantage over living friends; you can enjoy the most truly noble society in the world whenever you want. And you can at any moment talk with Shakespeare or Dumas, or other great men in books.
56．Why does the author say he likes his own books much more than borrowed ones? （no more than 20 words）57．Please explain the underlined "immortal" in English. （no more than 1words）
58．What does the author tell us in the last paragraph? （no more than 10words）
59．What is the main idea of the passage? （no more than 10words）
60．What is your opinion about reading books? （no more than 20 words）
