This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.‎ In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.‎ There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical（相同的） to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.‎ Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with ‎ difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.‎ My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.‎ I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.‎ 21. The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to . ‎ A. encourage him to do more walking B. let him spend a meaningful summer ‎ C. help cure him of his reading problem ‎ D. make him learn more about weapons ‎22. The book caught the author’s eye because . ‎ A. it contained pretty pictures of animals B. it reminded him of his own dog C. he found its title easy to understand D. he liked children’s stories very much ‎23. Why could the author manage to read the book through? ‎ A. He was forced by his mother to read it.‎ B. He identified with the story in the book. ‎ C. The book told the story of his pet dog.‎ D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.‎ ‎24. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? ‎ A. The author has become a successful writer.‎ B. The author’s mother read the same book.‎ C. The author’s mother rewarded him with books. ‎ D. The author has had happy summers ever since.‎ ‎25. Which one could be the best title of the passage? ‎ A. The Charm of a Book B. Mum’s Strict Order C. Reunion with My Beagle D. My Passion for Reading B At thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊所） with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me.‎ When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”‎ She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.‎ In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots （点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.‎ Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?‎ I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?”‎ ‎26. The author didn’t finish the reading in class because .‎ A. he was new to the class B. he was tried of literature C. he had an attention disorder D. he wanted to take the task home ‎27. What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?‎ A. He had good sight B. He made a great invention. ‎ C. He gave up reading D. He learned a lot from school ‎28. What was Mrs.Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?‎ A. Angry B. Impatient C. Sympathetic D. Encouraging ‎29. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. The disabled should be treated with respect.‎ B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.‎ C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.‎ D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.、、‎ C Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.‎ According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.‎ After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.‎ In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity — or extreme overweight — among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.‎ ‎30. In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?‎ A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.‎ B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities. ‎ C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.‎ D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.‎ ‎31. This text is mainly the relationship between .‎ A. Americans and the French B. life style and obesity C. children and adults D. fast food and overweight ‎32. Where does this text probably come from?‎ A. A TV interview B. A food advertisement C. A health report D. A book review D As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.‎ In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.‎ In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people ‎ use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)".‎ According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.‎ ‎33. The passage begins with two questions to .‎ A. introduce the main topic B. show the author's attitude C. describe how to use the Interne. D. explain how to store information ‎34. In transactive memory, people .‎ A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information C. organize information like a computer D. remember how to find the information ‎35. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?‎ A. We are using memory differently. ‎ B. We are becoming more intelligent.‎ C. We have poorer memories than before.‎ D. We need a better way to access information.‎ 第二节：七选五 How to Become an Activist (活动家)‎ Activists are people who see the need for change and devote their time to doing something about it. 36 If you are interested in it you can do so. 37 This could be anything from a student club to a national organization (like the American Civil Liberties Union or the National Organizers Alliance). Most activist organizations offer different levels of involvement, so you can do whatever you feel most comfortable with, whether that means attending meetings and demonstrations or just donating a little money when you can.‎ Volunteer your time. One of the best ways to make a difference is to volunteer your time. Reach out to organizations in your community that do work for your cause, and ask how you can help.‎ Donate money or supplies. 38 If you can’t afford to donate money to an organization that supports yours cause, you may be able to donate other thing, they need, like clothing or canned food.‎ Reach out to family and friends. Tell your family and friends about your cause, and invite them to get involved. If they are interested, share literature about your cause or just talk to them about what you havelearned. 39 Promote your cause on social media. You can use social media to help keep your friends and followers informed about the causes you support. 40 Also, you can invite your friends to attend events or donate to fundraisers for your cause.‎ A. Take classes on issues related to your cause. ‎ B. Join an organization that supports your cause.‎ C. They are driven by passion and a vision for a better future. ‎ D. If you do volunteer work, invite them to volunteer with you.‎ E. Most activists or charitable organizations need resources to do their work. ‎ F.
