Children find meanings in their old family tales.

When Stephen Guyer’s three children were growing up, he told them stories about how his grandfather, a banker, all in the 1930s, but did not lose sight of what he valued most. In one of the darkest times when his strong-minded grandfather was nearly , he loaded his family into the car and them to see family members in Canada with a “There are more important things in life than money.”

The took on a new meaning recently when Mr. Guyer downsized to house from a more expensive and comfortable one. He was that his children, a daughter, 15, and twins, 22, would be upset. To his surprise, they weren’t. Instead, their reaction echoed their great-grandfather’s. What they about was how warm the people were in the house and how much of their heart was accessible.

Many parents are finding family stories have surprising power to help children through times. in telling tales, evidenced by a rise in storytelling events and festivals.

A university of 65 families with children aged from 14 to 16 found kids’ ability to parents’ stories was linked to a lower rate of anger and anxiety.

The is telling the stories in a way children can hear. We’re not talking here about the kind of story that “When I was a kid, I walked to school every day uphill both ways, barefoot in the snow.” Instead, we should choose a story suited to the child’s “a personal experience”. We don’t have to tell children what they should take from the story and what the moral is.

Do you ever wonder why you yawn? Why do you open your mouth wide and take a deep breath? Well, a scientist at the University of Maryland is searching for the answer.

Professor Robert Provine has been studying yawning for the past two years. But he says he still does not know people yawn. In fact, no one seems to know much about it. Professor Provine’s students have helped him find out more about yawning. They agreed to (watch) while sitting alone in small rooms. In the rooms, they watched television programs, or pictures of people yawning. Or they just sat and (think) about yawning. Students also kept records of when they yawned throughout the day.

The professor says he has learned number of things from these experiments. He says yawning seems linked in some way to sleeping. His students yawned most just before sleeping or waking from sleep. He also found that people yawn much when they are (bore ) or not interested in what they are doing.

Now, Professor Provine is planning future experiments to help him find the purpose of yawning. He said there is some evidence yawning is linked to (excite). Yawning is common among runners (wait) to begin a race. It is also common among people waiting to make a speech.

Professor Provine says he is most interested in learning why seeing someone yawn makes others yawn as well. He says almost anything connected with yawning can make people yawn. As a matter of fact, I found yawning a lot as I prepared this report. I wonder if hearing it can make you yawn. If it does, excuse me, if you did yawn, write and tell me.

In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic(学业的) achievements and felt confident that their degree would help them to find a good job.

However, in the past four years the job market has changed greatly. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose State University, got a degree in religious e already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.

Four years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2006. There were many high-tech job chances. Graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance(保险) and paid vacations. However, "Times have changed and it's a new market," according to an officer of the San Jose State Career Center.

The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they’ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot, like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing, where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information system management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines(下降) in starting salaries.

Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy. hope the value of their degree will increase over time.

A. teaching B. accounting

C. political science D. computer science

28. Ryan Stewart will have to ____________.

A. change his major B. get a job teaching

C. go back to school D. become a religious leader

29. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ____________.

A. the best way to get rich is not to get a college degree

B. most students with degrees will not be able to find jobs

C. having a college degree does not mean that one has money for travelling

D. a college degree does not mean that one will find a well-paid job

30. The main idea of the passage is that _________.

C. salaries in some fields have increased in the past year

D. the job market has changed greatly over the past four years

B

Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.

In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera. All they have to do is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control. He makes no choice, does no exercises, and makes no judgment. He is completely passive （被动的）and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.

Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it, so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn’t it?

There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that determine its value to society.

31. The main function of paragraph 1 is to __________.

A. introduce the theme of the whole passage

B. summarize the whole passage

C. arouse the reader’s interest

D. state the primary uses of TV

32. Television, as a source of entertainment, is __________.

A. TV programs are not interesting.

B. TV viewers are totally passive.

C. TV has more disadvantages.

D. TV prices are very high.

34.One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that _______.

A. it is very cheap B. it controls our lives

C. it keeps us informed D. it enables us to have a rest

35. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on ___________.

A. where we buy it B. how we think about it

C. how we make use of it D. where we make use of it

C

What will man be like in the future——in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.

Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.

On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.

Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.

36. The passage mainly tells us that____.

A. man’s life will be different in the future

B. future man will look quite different from us

C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes

D. the functions of man’s organs(器官) will function as well as today

37. Which of the following serves as the evidence that man is changing?

A. Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner.

B. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.

C. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.

D. Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.

38. The change in man’s size of forehead is probably because__________

A. he makes use of only 20 % of the brain’s capacity.

B. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due（预定的） time.

C. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.

D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.

39. Which of the following is true about a human being in the future?

A. He thinks and feels in different way.

B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.

C. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.

D. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t use them.

40. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A. future life is always predictable（可预测的）

B. human beings hope for a change in the future life

C. human beings will become less attractive in the future

D. Less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration（衰退）

D

I sit at my kitchen table, while my daughter, Anna, sits next to my mother. On the wall hangs a photo of my father. “When is Rick going to be here?” My mother asks, referring to my husband.

“I don’t know, Mom,” I answer patiently. “He’ll be here for dinner.”

I sigh and get up from the table. This is at least the tenth time she has asked that question.While my mother and

daughter play, I busy myself making a salad.

“Don't put in any onions,” Mom says. “You know how Daddy hates onion.”“Yes, Mom,” I answer.I scrub(洗擦) off a carrot and chop it into bite-size pieces.

“Don't put any onions in the salad,” she reminds me. “You know how Daddy hates onion.”This time I can’t answer.

My mother had been beautiful. She still is. In fact, my mother is still everything she has been,just a bit forgetful.I cut off the end of the cucumber and rub it to take away the bitterness. Cut and rub. This is a trick I have learned from my mother, along with a trillion other things: cooking, sewing, dating, laughing, thinking. I learned how to grow up. And I learned that when my mother was around, I never had to be afraid. So why am I afraid now?

I study my mother's hands. Her nails are no longer a bright red, but painted a light pink. Almost no color at all. And a million tears off my cheeks. Now my hands have grown into those of my mother's. Hands that have cooked uneaten meals, held my own daughter's frightened fingers on the first day of school and dried tears off her face. I grow lighthearted. I can feel my mother kiss me goodnight, check to see if the window is locked, then blow another kiss from the doorway. Then I am my mother, blowing that same kiss to Anna. Outside everything is still. Shadows fall among the trees, shaped like pieces of a puzzle.

Someday my daughter will be standing in my place, and I will rest where my mother now sits. Will I remember then how it felt to be both mother and daughter? Will I ask the same question too many times? I walk over and sit down between my mother and her granddaughter.

“Where is Rick?” my mother asks, resting her hand on the table next to mine. And in that instant I know she remembers. She may repeat herself a little too much. But she remembers.

“He’ll be here,” I answer with a smile.

41. What’s wrong with the writer’s mother?

A. She is very old. B. She suffers forgetfulness.

C. She is absent-minded. D. She is eager to see Rick.

42. What can we learn about the writer’s father according to the passage?

A. He might have passed away for years.

B. He goes out for a walk by himself.

C. He is out doing something with Rick.

D. He loves the writer’s mother deeply.

43. The underlined sentence “I realize I am feeling them as they shaped my youth” probably means that ______.

A. Mother’s hands witnessed my growth as a youth

B. Mother’s hands are similar to mine as a youth

C. I like to feel mother’s hands when she was young

D. I realize her hands were exactly like those in her youth

44. Which of the following words best describe the writer’s mood towards her mother?

A. Content. B. Disappointed. C. Loving. D. Considerate.

45.The best title for the passage would be ______.

A. Mother’s beauty B. My father hates onion

C. Hard-working mother D. Mother’s hands

Today, roller skating is easy and fun．But a long time ago, it wasn‟t easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn‟t exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin‟s work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.

One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball（化装舞会）. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.

Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.

On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin‟s grand entrance for a long time!

第三部分 阅读理解（共２０小题；每小题２分，满分４０分）

Ａ

It was late Wednesday night when the frightening phone call reached our home. I remember lying in my bed trying to fall asleep when I heard the phone ring. Interested in finding out who the late caller was, I sat up so that I could hear the phone call better. To my surprise, I heard my mom shout to my dad, “Get the car, Dean! Andrea has been in a car accident.”

We ran every red light on the way to the hospital and our tires screeched (发出刺耳声) around every corner. We got to the hospital but were not allowed to see her. The next morning, we were allowed to see Andrea. Until today, nobody knows exactly what happened. We only know that the car rolled on its way back from a party. The two boys in the car were killed, and Andrea was thrown out. She was badly injured.

Over the next two months, I lived more at the hospital than I did at my house. I watched as Andrea worked so hard to gain back everyday motor skills. She never once complained or pitied herself. After two weeks in the ICU and two months of the regular hospital treatment, Andrea came home. She missed several months of school, so it was hard for her to catch up. Andrea had many tasks to finish, and however hard it was, she stuck until the job was done. Though busy dealing with pain and therapy (治疗), she always found time to love and play with me, her little sister.

I‟ll never forget the influence that this incident had on my life. I admire my sister. She is perfectly normal now, despite the pins holding her leg in place. I couldn‟t ask for a better sister or a hero in my life.

Wilson,

At college, when I try speaking with anyone, I just feel very nervous. I have no trouble talking when I’m alone. However, when I talk with others, my voice sounds different, and sometimes there is a pause (停顿) between each word I pronounce. Sometimes I can‟t pronounce a word even with my own family members. My voice becomes deeper and sounds totally different than it usually does. Can you please give me some good advice?

John John,

If you have trouble pronouncing words, simply accept the fact. Many other readers have such experiences, and so do I. You don‟t need to get stressed about it.

You are apparently getting nervous because you feel like you are under some pressure when speaking to other people. Take your time and don‟t worry about pauses. Speak slowly, opening your mouth to enunciate your words clearly. Listen to powerful leaders on the television and note that they speak slowly and carefully and learn to master their speaking techniques.

When you speak to others in college, try to ask questions that will get the other person to talk. Listening carefully and then filling in during the conversation takes the pressure off of you and you will feel more relaxed when you talk. You make more of an impression when you are interested in what the other person is saying than when you try to lead a conversation.

Remember that the more you worry about how your voice sounds, about pronouncing words and about pauses, the worse it gets. So accept the way you speak now and relax in your conversations.

I hope these ideas can help take the pressure off of you when you talk to other people. Wilson

Some American schools pay teachers more if their students improve on tests. Now schools have begun to pay the students — in some cases, even just for coming to class.

Students at one school in New Mexico can earn up to three hundred dollars a year for good attendance (出勤). A program in New York City pays up to five hundred dollars for good attendance and high test scores. In Baltimore, Maryland, high scores on state graduation tests can be worth more than one hundred dollars. And a New Jersey school system plans to pay students fifty dollars a week to attend after-school tutoring programs. Schools that pay students can be found in more than one-fourth of the fifty states.

Robert Schaefer, a public education director, says paying may improve performance in the short term, but students develop false expectations (期盼) for the future. He sees a lack of long-term planning in these programs because of pressure on schools to raise test scores. But students say it makes school more exciting. And some teachers have reported getting more requests for extra help.

Public schools need to show improvement under the present education reform law. Low-performing schools may lose their federal money; teachers and headmasters may lose their jobs.

In 2004, the city schools in Coshocton, Ohio, started a program. They wanted to see if paying elementary school (小学) students as much as one hundred dollars would help in passing state exams. Now the results have been reported. Math scores increased, but only while students were able to get paid. And there was no evidence of higher scores in reading, social studies or science. Officials will decide later this year whether to continue the program. They don‟t want students to get the idea that money is the only reward for their studies.

65. Schools are paying their students mainly for the purpose of ______.

A. getting students interested in their studies

B. earning more money for their teachers

C. encouraging students to work for a better future

D. trying to improve their performance in school

66. What attitude does Robert Schaefer show towards the program of paying students?

A. Supportive. B. Not clear.

C. Negative. D. Interested.

67. According to students, being paid for their performance _____.

A. increases their confidence

B. makes study at school more interesting

C. improves the relationship between them and their teachers
