10.From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation.When children are little we make them read aloud,before the teacher and other children,so that we can be sure they"know"all the words they are reading.This means that when they don't know a word,they are going to make a mistake,right in front of everyone.After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years,I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books,and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
    One day soon after school had started,I said to them,"Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before.I would like you to read a lot of books this year,but I want you to read them only for pleasure.I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not.If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it,that's enough for me.And I'm not going to ask you what words mean."
    The children sat stunned and silent.Was this a teacher talking?One girl,who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time,looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished.Then,still looking at me,she said slowly and seriously,"Mr.Holt,do you really mean that?"I said just as seriously,"I mean every word of it."
    During the spring she really astonished me.One day,she was reading at her desk.From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was.I said to myself,"It can't be,"and went to take a closer look.Sure enough,she was reading Moby Dick,in the edition with woodcuts.I said,"Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going?"She answered,"Oh,sure,but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part."
    This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is---an exciting,joyous adventure.Find something,dive into it,take the good parts,skip the bad parts,get what you can out of it,go on to something else.How different is our mean-spirited,picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of"understanding"that can be dug out of a book.
41.According to the passage,children's fear and dislike of books may result fromD.
A.reading little and think little.
B.reading often and adventurously
C.being made to read too much   
D.being made to read aloud before others

A.it sounded stupid             
B.it was not surprising at all
C.it sounded too good to be true   
D.it was no different from other teachers'talk
43.Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?C
A.She skipped over those easy parts while reading.
B.She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.
C.She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.
D.She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.
44.From the teacher's point of view,B.
A.children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading   
B.children should be left to decide what to read and how to read
C.reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school   
D.reading involves understanding every little piece of information.

分析 從孩子入學(xué)開始,我們就把書本和讀書變成不斷可能失敗、當(dāng)眾受辱的源頭.但是當(dāng)他們不知道單詞怎么讀的時(shí)候,他們會(huì)犯錯(cuò),而且是在所有的人面前犯錯(cuò),這會(huì)給他們帶來一些害怕.所以作者認(rèn)為閱讀應(yīng)該是一種快樂的事,而不是強(qiáng)迫性的閱讀,強(qiáng)調(diào)通過快樂閱讀培養(yǎng)閱讀習(xí)慣.

解答 41.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第一段第三句"This means that when they don't know a word,they are going to make a mistake,right in front of everyone."可知當(dāng)他們不知道單詞的時(shí)候,他們會(huì)犯錯(cuò),而且是在所有的人面前犯錯(cuò),這會(huì)給他們帶來一些害怕,故選D.
42.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第三段第一句"The children sat stunned and silent."孩子們震驚和沉默地坐著,可見孩子們很吃驚,難以令人置信,故選C.
43.C 推理判斷題.由第四段最后一句"She answered,Oh,sure,but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part"可知這個(gè)女孩知道如何欣賞這些文章,故選C.
44.B 歸納大意題.A孩子在閱讀的時(shí)候不能夠區(qū)別好的部分以及不好的部分;B應(yīng)該留給學(xué)生自己去選擇,讀什么以及如何讀;C在學(xué)校閱讀永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)是一個(gè)愉快和啟發(fā)性的體驗(yàn);D閱讀需要理解每一部分的信息.其實(shí)根據(jù)常識(shí)可以判斷C和D是錯(cuò)誤的,然后再結(jié)合全文大意,作者認(rèn)為孩子不應(yīng)該是強(qiáng)迫去讀,要讓他們自己讀,選擇材料讀.故選B.

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)

20.I remembered that when I was a little child,I used to look for Sunday of the week.Yes,I was so looking forward to an adventure.
Now,I still have a strong affinity for  buses.I used to wonder where those gigantic buses finally stopped.On sunshine Sundays,that's my adventure times.He took me to the bus stop.Time passed,while I was growing impatient,he was smiling,as he always does.
It was really not that easy to get on a bus as often as we do today.I was so worried that the bus driver would have missed us.I waved my hands so high with all my strength.I looked hopefully at him.He didn't move at all.He was still standing.It seemed that the late and infrequent coming of the bus wasn't any trouble to him at all.
He took my hand.We managed to find seats on the upper deck.I was so excited.Only sitting beside the windows made me happy.Looking at the rewinding buildings,streets and people through windows from a higher ground was so much fun.Then,he was sitting peacefully by me and whispered to me where the bus finally would stop.I was curious about what would be the next stop of our destination as much as what really means something to him.
That is me.I know now.I am all he cares.He wants me to be happy,as he always does.That's the strong bond between father and son.Childhood,naive and precious,you showed me the world and the way I look at the world.I am so grateful for your presence in my life.Thanks,you are so wonderful!

1.How to Make a Good First Impression (印象)
Have you ever met someone and walked away with"fool"or"loser"in mind?Are you afraid of being that someone and having others not like or understand you?Happily,you can get rid of these worries and fears by learning some effective skills on how to make a great and lasting first impression.Let's get started.
Talk about your interests and hobbies.(56)G.It is always a great conversation starter!Ask if they like a specific band or singer.The more you have in common,the easier it will be to carry on the conversation.
Smile.Especially when first meeting someone.It's not necessary to show your teeth,just a meaningful grin(露齒而笑) will do.(57)F,or people will feel you're being fake or that you don't like them.
(58)B.Stay focused on the person you are speaking with and certainly not on anything else to avoid them feeling unappreciated and unwanted.Often if the person has an eye problem,like an eye that turns in,you're put off by this.Instead,focus on the person's nose or mouth.
Have a sense of humor.Born funny people are just themselves and the humor shows.Don't worry if you are not a born funny person.(59)E.Don't keep serious all the time while you are talking to a new friend.
Be yourself.Don't pretend to be someone you're not,or you are stuck with that label forever.Be yourself.That may be what everyone says but it is entirely true!(60)C.If somebody finds out you have been lying to him or her,they will be very hurt and it will be hard for them to forgive you easily.

A.Appreciate others
B.Make eye contact.
C.Never lie to anybody about yourself and always be honest.
D.Keep smiling when you are talking to a new friend.
E.People who try to be funny can be funny if they try hard.
F.Be careful not to change from a smile to a straight face too quickly
G.Ask the other person about what their hobbies are.

19.Luong Van Inh is among the Asians threatened by an environmental risk rarely considered:Indoor air pollution caused by burning wood,coal or other cheap fuels in kitchens.It kills about 1.5million people worlwide each year.
Up to 3billion people around the world depend on solid fuels such as wood,coal,crop waste or animal waste for indoor cooking and heating.The resulting smoke ranks as the fourth-biggest health risk in the poorest countries,yet it's not paid more attention to.One article stressed that improved stoves with chimneys could reduce exposure (暴露) to indoor smoke by 30percent to 50percent.
Even World Health Organization (WHO) was surprised by the problem.Earlier this year,the WHO for the first time studied the effects of indoor air pollution on health around the world.In 2002,nearly two-thirds of all global deaths linked to burning solid fuels were in the Asia-Pacific region.Afghanistan,Pakistan and Bangladesh had the highest percentage of death and disease linked to indoor air pollution in Asia,followed by India and Laos.Women and children are the hardest-hit because they're at home the most.Mothers in many developing countries cook with their babies tied to their backs.This affects only the poorest so it's easy for the decision-makers who no longer live in this type of community not to even see it.
Using improved stoves and cleaner fuels are the good ways to solve the problem,but cost remains a barrier.China started the world's largest stove modern-izing effort in the 1980s,handing out up to 180million new stoves,all with chimneys,over 15years.The driving force (原動(dòng)力) was not health,but fuel efficiency (效率),as farmers were running out of cooking fuel.However,in the long run,they need to move to cleaner fuel.
29.What is the main idea of the passage?B
A.Health is closely related to environment.
B.Indoor air pollution threatens people's health.
C.Asians are facing the most serious problem.
D.Farmers'living conditions are worse and worse.
30.Why did WHO study the effects of indoor air pollution on health?B
A.The pollution happened not only in Asian countries.
B.The indoor air pollution affects many lives.
C.The indoor air pollution is very serious in Asia.
D.The problem is difficult to solve.
31.Which of the following Asian countries is the least affected by the indoor air pollution?A
A.China.
B.Bangladesh.
C.Afghanistan.
D.Laos.
32.According to the passage,the best way to fight against the indoor air pollution is toD.
A.build  lot of chimneys  
B.choos the new stoves
C.improve the fuel efficiency 
D.turn to cleaner fuel.
