五、阅读理解
“I will think of it.” It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking We cannot see our thoughts, or hear, or taste, or feel them, yet what power they have!
A boy named Watt sat quietly by the fireside, watching the lid(盖子) of a pot move up and down. The boiling water makes steam. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the heavy lid. He went on thinking and thinking. When he grew up, he improved the steam engine(发动机) so much that it could easily do the work of many horses. When you see a steamboat or a steam train, remember that it would never have been built if it had not been the hard thinking of someone.
James was a poor farmer’s boy from Scotland. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he thought, “I am sure that I could make a watch too.” He kept thinking and then made a wooden clock which kept good time. In a few years while still a small boy, he made enough money to support his father. When he grew up, he went to London to live. Some of the wisest men in England, and the king himself, used to come and listen to him speak. His motto was “I will think of it” which means that he would be able to think of how to do something. In this way, he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.
Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, don't feel discouraged. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think in a way that solves your problems, and the problem of others.

and more persons afford it.

As a kid, I was always chubby(圆胖的). In college I started blowing up. It got out of control when I went to law school. I'd made a decision a thousand times：I'm going to lose weight now. But what motivated me to get serious about it was turning 30. I weighed 414 pounds. I was always tired. Some of my family members have suffered from heart disease, and I was scared. I also wanted to look better. So after my birthday, I walked into the office of a weight-loss doctor. She was very understanding. Her focus was on balanced meals and she wanted me to exercise. Walking was all I could do at first. I started by walking a few blocks and gradually increased the distance, until one weekend, I found myself saying, “Wow, this seems pretty easy. ” So I started to run. I was losing nine or ten pounds a month, and I had more energy. I started to think about the New York City Marathon. For years, I watched the runners and thought, “This looks like fun, but I could never do that. ” But now I realized that maybe I could. I joined the New York Road Runners. I ran a 10 K, then a half-marathon. I still wasn't confident I could run a full 26 miles. But I told myself I was going to do it, no matter what. By my 33rd birthday, I was down to 180 pounds. I started formally training for the marathon. And on
the morning of November 1, I stood on the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island with more than 40,000 other runners, waiting for the event to start. It was unbelievable to have the audience cheering me on, handing me cups of water. And I crossed the finish line. My friends sprayed(喷射)me with beer, as if I'd won the Super Bowl. And at that moment, I knew：If I set my mind to something, nothing is impossible.
(1) The underlined phrase “blowing up” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________. A. going weakerB. becoming fatterC. becoming healthierD. growing higher
(2) It can be learned from the passage that the author ________. A. controlled his weight at collegeB. was satisfied with his figure as a kidC. may have a family history of heart diseaseD. began to consider losing weight at 30
(3) What do we know from the passage A. The marathon the author ran started on the Verrazano Bridge. B. The author formally trained for the marathon for three years. C. The author started by running when losing weight. D. The author has won the Super Bowl.
(4) Which of the following proverbs can best summarize the passage A. Practice makes perfect. B. Pride comes before a fall. C. A good beginning is half done. D. Where there is a will, there is a way.

Pinky is about 30 years old and she comes from a common family. If you passed her on the street, you wouldn’t give her a s 4 look. She lives in a brown mud-washed(泥刷的) house. There is a vegetable garden outside. Red hens with noisy chicks run all over the garden looking for food.
If you ask her why she p 5 a home to so many kids, she smiles shyly. But her eyes are serious. “I know what it is to be poor and hungry.” As a child, her only d 6 was to eat a full meal, and her favourite amusement was watching people with shoes and imagining what it felt like. By adopting poor and homeless children she is making sure that they n 7 feel that hopeless.

五、阅读理解
A book which is still being discussed by many Americans today is Future Shock by Alivin Toffler. In this book the author describes the great changes which have been made in family life because of science and industry.
In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical (典型的) family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often, too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller. Industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. Larger families cannot be moved from one place to another as smaller families can.
Today, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consist (由…组成) only of a man and a woman. A smaller number of families may raise children. These families may raise children as their important duty, leaving the childless families free to move from job. Furthermore, these child-raising families may raise other people's children in addition to their own.

(3) Great changes have taken place in American family life ________.
A. since the population grew so fast

There are many different kinds of disasters around the world. As an adult you know what to do during a disaster, but what about the children Some adults think it would probably never happen to them, so they don’t teach their children what to do. Before it’s too late, here are ways to help you prepare your child for a disaster:
Educate: It is always good to let your child know about possible disasters. This doesn’t mean children have to live in fear. When teaching them about disasters, keep the conversation positive（积极的）by telling them there is a solution（解决办法）to the disaster. Keep the conversations short, allow for questions and answer honestly.
Prepare: Always be prepared, that is the best advice for children. For example, when preparing for bad weather, get the tools you need, like candles, radios, food, water and medicine. Teach your child what is needed in certain disasters so that they know what is available for them, if ever needed.
Plan: You should always have a plan for you and your child for any dangerous situation. Write out a simple list that they can read. The plan could start with “listen to an adult’s advice and/or call 119”.
Practice: Once you have got the correct safety tools and worked out the right plan, practice every few months. Practicing what to do during a disaster with your child will help them if the time comes.
Disasters can’t be avoided but they can be lessened（减轻）once you are prepared and ready for one.

Once upon a time, there lived a wealthy and kind king. However, the people were worried about him because he was very fat. He didn’t do anything other than eat and sleep.
One day, the king finally realized that he couldn’t even move his body. There were many good doctors in his country. However, none could cure the king. The king had a lot of wealth, but no amount of wealth could make him healthy.
One fine morning, a holy(神圣的) man visited the country. He heard about the ill health of the king and told the minister to meet him at his place, which was far from the king’s palace. When the minister came, the holy man said that he could easily cure the king. Hearing these promising words, the minister became very happy.

“I will think of it.” It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking We cannot see our thoughts, or hear, or taste, or feel them, yet what power they have!
A boy named Watt sat quietly by the fireside, watching the lid(盖子) of a pot move up and down. The boiling water makes steam. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the heavy lid. He went on thinking and thinking. When he grew up, he improved the steam engine(发动机) so much that it could easily do the work of many horses. When you see a steamboat or a steam train, remember that it would never have been built if it had not been the hard thinking of someone.
James was a poor farmer’s boy from Scotland. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he thought, “I am sure that I could make a watch too.” He kept thinking and then made a wooden clock which kept good time. In a few years while still a small boy, he made enough money to support his father. When he grew up, he went to London to live. Some of the wisest men in England, and the king himself, used to come and listen to him speak. His motto was “I will think of it” which means that he would be able to think of how to do something. In this way, he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.
Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, don't feel discouraged. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think in a way that solves your problems, and the problem of others.

and more persons afford it.

As a kid, I was always chubby(圆胖的). In college I started blowing up. It got out of control when I went to law school. I'd made a decision a thousand times：I'm going to lose weight now. But what motivated me to get serious about it was turning 30. I weighed 414 pounds. I was always tired. Some of my family members have suffered from heart disease, and I was scared. I also wanted to look better. So after my birthday, I walked into the office of a weight-loss doctor. She was very understanding. Her focus was on balanced meals and she wanted me to exercise. Walking was all I could do at first. I started by walking a few blocks and gradually increased the distance, until one weekend, I found myself saying, “Wow, this seems pretty easy. ” So I started to run. I was losing nine or ten pounds a month, and I had more energy. I started to think about the New York City Marathon. For years, I watched the runners and thought, “This looks like fun, but I could never do that. ” But now I realized that maybe I could. I joined the New York Road Runners. I ran a 10 K, then a half-marathon. I still wasn't confident I could run a full 26 miles. But I told myself I was going to do it, no matter what. By my 33rd birthday, I was down to 180 pounds. I started formally training for the marathon. And on
the morning of November 1, I stood on the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island with more than 40,000 other runners, waiting for the event to start. It was unbelievable to have the audience cheering me on, handing me cups of water. And I crossed the finish line. My friends sprayed(喷射)me with beer, as if I'd won the Super Bowl. And at that moment, I knew：If I set my mind to something, nothing is impossible.
(1) The underlined phrase “blowing up” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________. A. going weakerB. becoming fatterC. becoming healthierD. growing higher
(2) It can be learned from the passage that the author ________. A. controlled his weight at collegeB. was satisfied with his figure as a kidC. may have a family history of heart diseaseD. began to consider losing weight at 30
(3) What do we know from the passage A. The marathon the author ran started on the Verrazano Bridge. B. The author formally trained for the marathon for three years. C. The author started by running when losing weight. D. The author has won the Super Bowl.

A book which is still being discussed by many Americans today is Future Shock by Alivin Toffler. In this book the author describes the great changes which have been made in family life because of science and industry.
In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical (典型的) family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often, too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller. Industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. Larger families cannot be moved from one place to another as smaller families can.
Today, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consist (由…组成) only of a man and a woman. A smaller number of families may raise children. These families may raise children as their important duty, leaving the childless families free to move from job. Furthermore, these child-raising families may raise other people's children in addition to their own.

A. since the population grew so fast

There are many different kinds of disasters around the world. As an adult you know what to do during a disaster, but what about the children Some adults think it would probably never happen to them, so they don’t teach their children what to do. Before it’s too late, here are ways to help you prepare your child for a disaster:
Educate: It is always good to let your child know about possible disasters. This doesn’t mean children have to live in fear. When teaching them about disasters, keep the conversation positive（积极的）by telling them there is a solution（解决办法）to the disaster. Keep the conversations short, allow for questions and answer honestly.
Prepare: Always be prepared, that is the best advice for children. For example, when preparing for bad weather, get the tools you need, like candles, radios, food, water and medicine. Teach your child what is needed in certain disasters so that they know what is available for them, if ever needed.
Plan: You should always have a plan for you and your child for any dangerous situation. Write out a simple list that they can read. The plan could start with “listen to an adult’s advice and/or call 119”.
Practice: Once you have got the correct safety tools and worked out the right plan, practice every few months. Practicing what to do during a disaster with your child will help them if the time comes.
Disasters can’t be avoided but they can be lessened（减轻）once you are prepared and ready for one.

Once upon a time, there lived a wealthy and kind king. However, the people were worried about him because he was very fat. He didn’t do anything other than eat and sleep.
One day, the king finally realized that he couldn’t even move his body. There were many good doctors in his country. However, none could cure the king. The king had a lot of wealth, but no amount of wealth could make him healthy.
One fine morning, a holy(神圣的) man visited the country. He heard about the ill health of the king and told the minister to meet him at his place, which was far from the king’s palace. When the minister came, the holy man said that he could easily cure the king. Hearing these promising words, the minister became very happy.

s palace to treat him. However, the holy man refused and said that he would treat the king only if the king came on foot to his place.
