2.How to become a better reader
    Language and literacy(讀寫能力 ) are among humans'greatest inventions.Evolving(演變) over the course of human history,languages are a reflection of our cultural and societal attitudes.Today,surrounded(包圍) by social med ia,television,movies,and,of course,books,the ability to read and write is important to expressing one's feelings.Most humans acquire language in early childhood and speak fluently when they are about three years old,but our continued relationship with language gives shape and meaning to our lives.(36)E
(1)Take it slow.Many readers feel that they read too slowly,especially compared with others.(37)BThe best readers are flexible(靈活的)-slowing down when needed-and always have a dictionary at hand.
(2)Read aloud.When humans first began reading written words,it was unusual to read in silence.(38)FTry listening to the author reading their own work-you'll be surprised to find how clearly it comes through on the page.
(3)Write.Writing and reading go hand-in-hand:how and what you read affects how and what you write,and the best readers often make the best writers.But while much can be learned from close,repeated readings,there are many pleasures to language that can only be experienced through the practice of writing.(39)C
(4)Tell your friends.All of the literature is essentially communication from an individual's inner voice to an audience.(40)DIt's a good way to see the world from someone else's eyes and,in the process,carefully examine your own reaction to what you're reading.

A.Can you remember the first piece of writing that transported you to another world?
B.But the truth is that the faster you read,the less likely you are to understand fully what you're   reading.
C.Try writing every day for a month,and you will never read the same again.
D.There is something magical about sharing books with friends or a book club.
E.Here are 4 ways to become a better reader.
F.Reading out loud is one of the best ways to improve your reading ability.
G.In no time,you'll be appreciating novels like fine wine.

分析 本文講述了如何成為更優(yōu)秀的讀者,并給出了幾點(diǎn)關(guān)于閱讀、記憶和寫作的建議.

解答 36.E.理解推斷題.根據(jù)下文四點(diǎn)建議,可知,F(xiàn)項(xiàng)這里有四點(diǎn)建議,為正確答案.故選E、
37.B.理解推斷題.根據(jù)上文"Many readers feel that they read too slowly,especially compared with others."可知,許多讀者覺得他們讀得太慢了,特別是相對于其他人而言.但是事實(shí)上你讀得越快,你就越不可能完全理解你讀的內(nèi)容.故選B.
38.F.段意理解題.由段首Read aloud可知本段主要建議大聲朗讀,故F項(xiàng)符合題意.
39.C.理解推斷題.根據(jù)上文"But while much can be learned from close,repeated readings,there are many pleasures to language that can only be experienced through the practice of writing."可知,即使我們可以從深入和重復(fù)閱讀中學(xué)到很多東西,但仍然有許多快樂是只有你通過寫作才能體會到的.故作者建議試著一個月每一天都寫作;你的閱讀習(xí)慣也再不會跟以前一樣.故選C.
40.D.理解推斷題.根據(jù)下文"It's a good way to see the world from someone else's eyes and,in the process,carefully examine your own reaction to what you're reading."可知,這是一個很好去了解別人眼中的世界的方式,然后在此過程中,認(rèn)真地審視自己對所閱讀的內(nèi)容的反應(yīng).由此可知,空格處承上啟下,與自己的朋友或是一個圖書俱樂部的人分享書是件很美妙的事情.故選D.

點(diǎn)評 閱讀文章時,句子與句子之間,必然有一種聯(lián)系,因此考生可以通過選項(xiàng)中某個名詞或動詞跟空前或空后的一致性或者相關(guān)性來確定這兩個句子之間有一種關(guān)聯(lián)性,從而選擇正確的答案.

11.You want to be happy,who doesn't?However,whether you procrastinate(拖延),feed negative self-talk,or don't rest your mind,you lower your potential to create happiness.
Procrastination
You aren't in deadly danger if you procrastinate,but your system doesn't always take this information on board.You still react as though you are anxious and produce stress chemicals.
(36)FYour ability to see the big picture of life is reduced when you procrastinate.Therefore,you don't see as much joy.
Negative self-talk
(37)ETaking notice of what goes on in your head and putting positive change in action makes negative self-talk useful.Nevertheless,most people don't recognize negative self-talk as a pointer; they feed it until it grows out of control.
(38)A
Your mind contains an incredible amount of information and is more powerful than any computer many times over.However,if you give it too many tasks,you shut out peace of mind.
(39)GThought-overload results in physical symptoms,like a racing heart and shortness of breath.Additionally,you might have sleeplessness,digestive problems and other symptoms of stress that reduce your happiness.
If you want to increase the odds of being happy,don't procrastinate.(40)D Similarly,don't overload your mind,give it a rest and you will soon notice you are happier.

A.Not resting your mind.
B.Using your brain regularly.
C.It is a human weakness to put things off.
D.At the same time,don't feed negative self-talk.
E.Self-talk can tell you how healthy you are emotionally.
F.Additionally,as your system is nervous physically,your mind also closes off a little.
G.Thinking about many things at once leads to a feeling of anxiety.

7.Tips of Avoiding the Computer or Internet Addiction
The Internet has been widely used in recent years.It is a convenient way to share information,do business and contact others.(36)F Getting rid of the addiction requires discipline and commitment.Here are some steps that may help your kids to overcome the Internet addiction.
First,you should try to find out just how much time your kids are spending online.Track the information for a few weeks and try to separate time spent on homework or research and time spent playing.Compare this to the amount of time spent with friends,at clubs,in activities and for hobbies.(37)A
(38)CIn my house,the family computer sits in the living room.At no time is someone allowed to be"behind closed doors"with a computer.Not only does this help honest people stay honest,but it helps to connect to your teens when they are online.Besides,it is easier to monitor your teens'time online.
(39)E Don't speak of the fact that they are online all the time,but try to get to the root cause.Often someone gets online because he/she feels safe there.Talk to your teens about what is going on in their life.If they will not talk to you,then find a way to connect your teens to the people they contact in real life.
Lastly,remember that if an Internet addiction is growing,your kids need help.In many cases,the Internet is a safe place for people with poor self-esteem,negative self-image,or for people who have been hurt.(40)D
If there is a problem,and a person needs help,these symptoms will continue to worsen until they get help.

A.If things are out of balance,try to correct them.
B.There are some disadvantages of getting online.
C.Second,move computers out of your children's rooms.
D.It is a good idea to contact the teacher for help if possible.
E.Also,if your kids spend too much time online,talk to them.
F.Unfortunately,some people develop an addiction to the Internet.
G.It is the same with people with eating disorders or drug addictions.
