16.I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves,most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of.In fact,I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (觀點) by creating worlds we could step into,take part in and live in.
With this unshakable belief,I,at fourteen,decided to become a writer.Here too,reading became useful.Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say,but being unable to find the right ways to say it.He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with,or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world.He cannot write without loving to read,because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works,what doesn't and,in the end,together with lots of practice,what voice he has.
Now I am in college,and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文學(xué)作品).As a law student,my reading is in fact limited to subject matter-the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else.Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life.Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own.It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road,all from the comfort of my own armchair,to experience,though secondhand,exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

21.What can be inferred about the author as a child?D
A.He never watched TV.
B.He read what he had to.
C.He found reading unbelievable.
D.He considered reading part of his life.
22.The underlined word"voice"in the second paragraph most probably means"C".
A.a(chǎn)n idea                    
B.a(chǎn) sound quality
C.a(chǎn) way of writing             
D.a(chǎn) world to write about
23.What effect does reading have on the author?B
A.It helps him to realize his dream.
B.It opens up a wider world for him.
C.It makes his college life more interesting.
D.It increases his interest in worldwide travel.
24.Which of the following can be the best title of this text?A
A.Why do I read?
B.How do I read?
C.What do I read?
D.When do I read?

分析 本文是從自身個人經(jīng)理李的角度出發(fā),向大家講述了閱讀的重要性,可以拓寬我們的世界等.

解答 21.D  推理判斷題,根據(jù)第一段In fact,I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (觀點) by creating worlds we could step into,take part in and live in.可知我們認(rèn)為讀書時很自然的一部分,故選D.
22.C  詞義猜測題,根據(jù)第二段He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with,or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world.可知這里的voice是指他自己寫作的方式,只有通過閱讀他才會知道自己的閱讀方式,故選C.
23.B  推理判斷題,根據(jù)最后一段Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own.It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road,all from the comfort of my own armchair,to experience,though secondhand,exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.可知通過閱讀我們拓寬了視野,為我們打開了你世界的折扇窗戶,故選B.
24.A  主旨大意題,本文是從自身的角度出發(fā),向大家講述了閱讀的重要性,可以拓寬我們的世界等,故選A.

11.It is generally believed that money can't buy happiness.However,that may not be always true.According to a recent article,in the last few years,new research has given us a far deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how we feel.Broadly speaking,people with higher incomes are happier than those who struggle to get by.But it also shows you need to spend wisely if you expect those bank notes to put a smile on your face.(36)B
1.Buy experiences,not material goods.
In a recently published study,Professor Ryan at San Francisco State University in the US,found that when people don't have much money to spare,they tend to stick to material goods.(37)EBut they actually provide both more happiness and more lasting value.
2.(38)F
No matter how much money you spend on something and how special that product is,you will get used to having it over time and lose interest in it.With the same money you spend on one big object,you can buy many little things.Buying small things means you can get frequent small pleasures.
3.Be sure to buy time.
(39)GFor example,that big house in the suburbs may seem like a good idea,but a 2014 study by researchers from University of Zurich in Switzerland found that people with longer time on the way reported lower life satisfaction,all other things being equal.
4.Try giving it away.
Elizabeth Dunn,professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada,found that in nations as diverse as Canada,South Africa and Uganda,giving away money consistently made people happier.(40)C

A.Be sure to buy what you like.
B.Here are some ways to better spend your money.
C.This was even true when people giving away were relatively poor.
D.There are a lot of reasons someone might buy something.
E.People think experiences only provide temporary happiness.
F.Buy lots of little things,rather than one big thing.
G.Consider how the things you buy will affect how you spend your time.

1.Everyone needs a break,and vacations are not meant for serious study.(36)FThe Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey.
Before getting into the recommendations,you need to determine your English reading comprehension level.If you're at the beginner level,there are two options:reading a children's book or reading a book that you've read in Chinese translation.(37)GIf you're at the intermediate level,popular books like pop fiction,mysteries and thrillers are good options.For advanced readers,classic works of literature or modern prize winners (Nobel,Pulitzer) are good options.
(38)BWhen I pick up a book I like,even though the first few chapters are really hard to get through,I would try to get accustomed to the language the author uses.Generally,after the first few chapters,things get a lot easier,especially if I get involved in the story.
Another great way to keep yourself motivated is to find a friend who's interested in reading the same book.You can make goals that you both want to achieve.(39)E
  Some quick recommendations:Harry Potter,start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by US writer Michael Crichton; and if you like horror,US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun.(40)DHappy reading!

A.If you pick a book which is so challenging,it will be too stressful.
B.The most important thing is to pick a book that you're really interested in.
C.You may also enjoy your reading when hanging out with your family.
D.You should just find a topic or author you're interested in,and the rest will go from there.
E.You can also discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail.
F.Instead,they're a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book.
G.This will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases,since you're already familiar with the story.

Patience is of great important in our daily life.Once I waited a bus to come at a stop.30 minutes past,but no bus came.Both upset and annoyed,I decided to walk on feet.But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived.I thought if I had waited for one more minute,I would have caught it.If I chose to take a next bus,I would have to wait for other 30 minutes.Only then do I realize my problem.Being impatient will possibly waste all the effort that we have put it in.Now whenever I am close to lose my patience,I'll think of this experience.

17.Last year I ruined my summer vacation by bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good:the iPad.Instead of looking at nature,I checked my e-mail.Instead of paddling a small boat,I followed my Twitter feed(推特簡訊).Instead of reading great novels,I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning.I was behaving as if I were still in the office.My body was on vacation,but my head wasn't.
So this year I made up my mind to try something different:withdrawal(退出)from the Internet.I knew it wouldn't be easy,since I'm bad at self-control.But I was determined.I started by giving the iPad to my wife.
The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past,making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration (沮喪).I was trapped,forced to go through with my plan.Largely cut off from e-mail,Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites,I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio-and how much radio can one listen to,really?I had to do what I had planned to do all along:read books.
This experience has had a happy ending.With determination and the strong support of my wife,I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet,realizing finally that it was I,not the iPad,that was the problem.I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi."I don't need it,"I said.
However,as we return to post-vacation life,a harder test begins:Can I continue when I'm back at work?
There are times when the need to know what's being said right now is great.I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely.But I hope to resist the temptation (誘惑)to check my e-mail every five minutes,which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two
I think a vacation is supposed to help you reset your brain to become more productive.Here I hope this one worked.

24.What do we know about the author's last summer vacation?D
A.He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.
B.His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.
C.He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.
D.He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacation.
25.What did the author do to keep away from the Internet this year?A
A.He handed his iPad to his wife.
B.He cut off his cellphone signal.
C.He refused to cheat in his house.
D.He listened to the radio most of the time.
26.When back at work,the author will probably choose toC.
A.stay away from the Internet for ever          
B.continue to read more and more books
C.keep control of when and how to use the Internet
D.stop checking what is being said right now completely
27.What is the author's opinion of a great vacation in the passage?D
A.A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day.
B.A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overvalued.
C.A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wishes to.
D.A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative.
