15.[1]Are you a bookworm?Is your head permanently stuck in a book?If so,that's a good thing.There are many benefits to reading.Getting into a good novel improves our literacy (讀寫能力).But who or what encourages us to pick up a book and start reading?
[2]Of course,when we are young,our parents and teachers inspire us by introducing us to characters that we love-or love to hate.And there are the authors-the people who invent and write about these characters.Good writing can really capture our imagination.
[3]One modern-day children's author is J.K.Rowling,who's known for her books about the wizard,Harry Potter.Last year she was named as a‘literacy hero'for her part in improving people's love of reading.The UK's National Literacy Trust awarded her the title for"turning a generation of children into readers."
[4]The Trust also honoured schoolchildren,a librarian and teachers for their effort in trying to get people to read.The actor,Henry Winkler,who has dyslexia,was also named for the books he has written about a boy with learning difficulties.
[5]Reading books is more than an enjoyable pastime;it can also help people in difficult  circumstances.The author Pat Winslow worked as a writer in prisons and found reading and  discussing stories helped prisoners reflect on their patterns of behaviour.She says"Very often we would have discussions about the moral compass of a character,what was the motivation  of somebody,why did they behave that way?"
[6]But the main benefit of reading is the improvement it brings to our literacy. _____,the better we get and who knows-one day you may become the next Tolstoy,Jackie Collins or  even William Shakespeare.

66.What does the author think of good writing?(no more than 10words)Good writing can really capture our imagination.
67.Why was the author J.K.Rowling called a‘literacy hero'?(no more than 10words)
For her turning a generation of children into readers./For her part in improving people's love of reading./Because she turned a generation of children into readers.
68.Complete the following statement with words from Paragraph4.(no more than 3words)  Henry Winkler was well-known as a‘literacy hero'for the book about a boy who suffered  fromdyslexia/learning difficulties.
69.What's the main idea of Paragraph 5?(no more than 10words)Reading can also help people in difficult circumstances.
70.Fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words.(no more than 6words)The more we read/The more we do it.

分析 本文是議論文,文章強(qiáng)調(diào)了閱讀的好處.首先可以提高讀寫能力;除了父母和老師外,還有塑造和描寫小說人物的作家讀能夠鼓勵(lì)人們閱讀,好的作品能夠激發(fā)想象力. J.K.Rowling,一些學(xué)生、一名圖書管理員和一些老師因?yàn)楸M力使人們?nèi)プx書而被獎(jiǎng)勵(lì).閱讀除了消磨時(shí)間外,還能幫助在困境中的人們;但是閱讀最主要的好處是文學(xué)上的提高.

解答 66.Good writing can really capture our imagination.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段的最后一句"Good writing can really capture our imagination(好的文章能夠激發(fā)想象力)."可以得出答案.
67.For her turning a generation of children into readers./For her part in improving people's love of reading./Because she turned a generation of children into readers.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段的最后一句"The UK's National Literacy Trust awarded her the title for"turning a generation of children into readers.(英國文化基金組織授予她"將一代人兒童轉(zhuǎn)變成讀者"的稱號)"可以判斷答案.
68.dyslexia/learning  difficulties.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段的"The actor,Henry Winkler,who has dyslexia(讀寫困難),was also named for the books he has written about a boy with learning difficulties.(演員Henry Winkler 有讀寫困難的問題,因?yàn)樗麑懙囊槐娟P(guān)于一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)有困難的孩子的書也被提名.)"可知答案.
69.Reading can also help people in difficult circumstances.主旨大意題.第5段的第一句強(qiáng)調(diào)了"it can also help people in difficult  circumstances(閱讀也能夠幫助困境中的人們)",是該段的主題句,下文舉例證明這個(gè)主題句,由此可以判斷該段的主旨大意.
70.The more we read/The more we do it.推斷題;由下文的the better we get推斷這里運(yùn)用了"the more…the more"的結(jié)構(gòu);再聯(lián)系該段的主題the main benefit of reading(閱讀的主要的好處)推斷是"讀得越多",所以答案是The more we read/The more we do it.

點(diǎn)評 本文是一篇議論文.文章主要介紹了閱讀的好處;題目中細(xì)節(jié)題題居多,細(xì)節(jié)題一定要在文章中定位細(xì)節(jié);本題中還涉及主旨大意題和推斷題.主旨大意題關(guān)注首句;推斷題要聯(lián)系文章的上下文合理推測.

The name"lacrosse"was named by the French settlers,with"Crosse"meaning curved stick.Lacrosse played a more serious role in Indian culture than anywhere else.Lacrosse was not a very well known sport until the late nineteenth century.It was mostly a boy's game until a few years ago,and now it is played by both boys and girls.
There were about three different forms of lacrosse based on the different tribes or places of how they played it.One of the ways still played today is called double stick; you play by using a two and a half foot stick in each hand and tossing a deer skin ball in between the two sticks.
Like many other ball games,there are two teams in Lacrosse,each with ten players.There is one goalie,three defensemen,three midfielders and three attackmen.The goalies defend the goals,and if the ball goes into the goal,the team who got the goal scores.Whoever scores the most goals by the end of the game wins,with an overtime period being played if the game is tied.The game has four quarters and starts with a"faceoff"at the beginning of each quarter.A faceoff is when the ball is on the ground to start the game,and one person from each team fights for the bail.

20.Car crashes are the top killer of American teenagers.Most of the crashes result from distracted driving-not paying attention to the road.
Ryan Didone was a fifteen-year-old passenger in a car that hit a tree.He was one of the nation's more than thirty thousand victims of traffic crashes in 2008.Nearly four thousand deaths,about twelve percent involved drivers age fifteen to twenty.
Ryan's father,Thomas Didone,is a police captain in Maryland."It was an inexperienced,immature driver driving at night with a carload of kids.He was distracted,he was going too fast,and it ended up causing one death and some seriously injured."He shares the story of his son's death to help educate teens and their families about distracted driving.
Jim Jennings from the Allstate Insurance Company says the number one cause of distracted-driving accidents is the mobile phone.He says talking on the phone or reaching for it is like drinking four beers and driving."If you're texting while driving,you are twenty-three times more likely to get into an accident than somebody who isn't."
Government and private groups are using public service announcements and events to bring more attention to the problem.For example,the insurance industry recently held a safety event for teen drivers.At first,nineteen-year-old Kevin Schumann easily avoided large,inflatable dolls thrown in front of the car to represent children.He also avoided orange cones representing the edge of the road.Then,as part of the test,he started texting.He hit several cones and at least one doll."That's what really opened up the experience for me to prove how bad it is to really text and drive."
Debbie Pickford of Allstate Insurance says teens are especially at risk from distracted driving-and not just because they lack experience on the roads."According to the research,teens don't really have fully developed brains until they're twenty-five years old.You put those two things together and you get a much,much higher risk."
A new law proposes a graduated driver licensing system.Graduated means teenagers start with restrictions like on night driving and numbers of passengers.They could not get a full driver's license until age eighteen.
45.Of all the following,which is the best title for the passage?C
A.Car Crashes-the Top Killer       B.Drunken Driving
C.Distracted Driving               D.How to Avoid Car Crashes
46.According to Jim Jennings,what might be the main cause of distracted driving accidents?
A.Speed.B.Age.C.Experience.D.Cell-phones.
47.Which of the following statements is true?C
A.Thomas Didone is responsible for his son Ryan's death.
B.The insurance companies benefit a lot from teen driving.
C.Kevin Schumann took the test to learn the risk of texting while driving.
D.Debbie Pickford thinks that people cannot drive until brains are fully developed.
48.According to the new law,A.
A.it will be harder for young people to get a full driver's license
B.people will not be allowed to touch the wheel until they are 18
C.young people are forbidden to take any passengers in their cars
D.people can't drive until they graduate from colleges or universities.
