12.Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills(讀寫能力),With their shining brown eyes,wagging tails,and unconditional love,dogs can provide the non-judgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence,according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City.The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children,with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ).
The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea."Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group,often have lower self-respect,and regard reading as a headache."said Lisa Myton,manager of the children's department.
Last November the two groups started"Dog Day Afternoon"in the children's department of the main library.About 25children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes,reading for half an hour.Those who attended three or four of the classes received a"paw graphed"book at the last class.
The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April,according to Dana Thumpowsky,public relations manager.

32.What is mainly discussed in the text?A
A.A special reading program.    B.Advantages of raising dogs.

分析 本文主要講述了對(duì)著狗閱讀是一種極不尋常的幫助孩子培養(yǎng)讀寫能力的方法

解答 32.A 主旨題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills(讀寫能力),以及The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children,主要講述了對(duì)著狗閱讀是一種極不尋常的幫助孩子培養(yǎng)讀寫能力的方法;第3、4段則以實(shí)例證明,這一方案非常成功.由此可知,A為正確選項(xiàng).
33.C  推理題.第1段中有…dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners(此處幽默隱喻道破以狗"助讀"的原理)needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence;第2段中又有關(guān)于這類讀寫困難兒童的特征,也提到"often have lower self-respect".兩處綜合,再結(jié)合常識(shí),可以判斷出利用小狗來(lái)助讀的原因在于這樣做能夠提高孩子們的自信心,也就是provide encouragement for silly children,C項(xiàng)與此相符.
34.B 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,尤其本句出現(xiàn)在第2段開頭,其中所說(shuō)的idea即指上文中由ITA推出的READ項(xiàng)目,下文則有該圖書館兒童部負(fù)責(zé)人對(duì)此idea表示贊同的一番評(píng)論,四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,只有B項(xiàng)提及對(duì)于the idea的態(tài)度,應(yīng)為正確答案.
35.C 根據(jù)上下文可以推斷,"paw graphed"book是由完成了大部分該項(xiàng)課程(who attended three of the four classes)的孩子在last class時(shí)會(huì)收到的一本書,也就是由組織者發(fā)放的一件"prize".

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是人物故事類閱讀理解.做這類題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對(duì)文章通讀一遍,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語(yǔ)句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測(cè),一定要做到有理有據(jù)

It was 2:10 in the afternoon when I entered the classroom.I was  surprising to see our teacher operating the video camer.Most of us have never been in front of a video camer before,but we were very nervous.As for myself,I had once faced it at home.My uncle shot as we were celebrating for my sister's birthday.However,this was complete different.
We had to talk about our articles as if we were reading news on TV.The funny thing was every time I tried to face the cameras and talked about my article,I forgot the article and couldn't help look down at it.It was a quite different experience for me,thanks to our teacher.

4.(36)EYou 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's how:
Plan your time carefully.When planning your work,you should make a list of things that you have to do.After making this list,you should make a schedule of your time.First your time for eating,sleeping,dressing,etc.Then decide a good,regular time for studying.(37)B A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems,but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study.Look around the house for a good study area.Keep this space,which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room,free of everything but study materials.No games,radios,or television.When you sit down to study,concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class.(38)CListening carefully in class means less work later.Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly.When you get home from school,go over your notes,review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day,read that material.(39)FIf you do these things regularly,the material will become more meaningful,and you'll remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards tests.The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject.They help you remember your new knowledge.The world won't end if you don't pass a test,so don't be over worried.
(40)A You will probably discover many others after you have tried these methods.

A.There are other methods that might help you with your studying.
B.Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.
C.Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.
D.No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.
E.Maybe you are an average student.
F.Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.
G.This will help you understand the next class.
