Part 3 Reading and Writing （第三部分 读写）
VI. Reading comprehension (阅读理解) (共50分)
A. Choose the best answer （根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) (12分)
On a freezing January morning 26 years ago, Vicki Myron opened the library in Spencer, Iowa. She heard a cat cry and finally found a yellow kitten (小猫) in a pile of books.
“His little feet were frozen,” Myron recalls. “We gave him a bath just to warm him up and he purred （咕噜叫） the whole time.”
That was 1988 and it was a Cinderella story for Dewey, the cat who has lived happily among the books ever since.
“His story has a life of its own,” Myron says while reading the cat’s fan mail. “We have people drive hundreds of miles out of their way just to see Dewey. We even had a Japanese public television crew come here to make a short film of him.”
Shortly after the kitten’s rescue (解救), a photo of the library’s “new employee” sitting on the card catalog（目录） appeared in local newspapers. Local people were invited to help name the kitten and many cast votes (投票). “We have never had such a big crowd for a contest and there wasn’t even a prize,” Myron says with a laugh.
Dewey grew from a popular local “library employee” to a national star with his pictures on calendars. However, he is not the only cat who lives among books. Library cats greet people in about 125 libraries across America. Most live and “work” in comfortable, small town libraries where they don’t get lost in the books. Library cats used to earn their keep by catching rats, but modern library cats have more “white-collar” duties: to act charming (nice) and make the library a pleasant homey place.
“Library cats just create a nice, warm atmosphere (气氛),” says Gary Roma, producer of Puss in Books, the film about library cats. “The cats attract children to the library and the elderly who maybe can’t have pets in their apartments,” Roma says. “Books, libraries, and cats just go together.”
( ) 69. The cat Dewey was found by Vicki Myron in the _________ of 1988.
A. spring B. summer C. autumn D. winter
( ) 70. A contest was held after the kitten’s rescue to _________ the cat.
A. kill B. name C. catch D. feed
( ) 71. We probably won’t be able to see the picture of Dewey in _________.
A. a Japanese film B. the calendars C. the card catalogs D. the local newspaper
( ) 72. People keep cats in the libraries because _________.
A. cats don’t like big places
B. cats can create a nice and warm atmosphere
C. there are more rats there
D. librarians are more friendly
( ) 73. Library cats can do many things includ-ing _________.
A. 2); 4); 5) B. 1); 3); 4) C. 1); 4); 5) D. 2); 3); 5)
1) arranging card catalogs
2) greeting people
3) acting for a film
4) catching rats
5) making people feel at home
( ) 74. From the passage we can infer (推断) that _________.
A. library cats only attract children and old people
B. Dewey is one of the cats who live among books
C. library cats are not as popular as they used to be
D. every library in America has at least one cat
B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文） （12分）
When I was about 12 years old, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to tell me about my weak points. Week by week her list became
___75___: I was very short, and I wasn’t a good student. I talked too much, and so on. I tried to stand all of these as long as I could. Finally, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me ___76___, and then asked, “Are the things that she said true or not Jane, have you ever ___77___ what you’re really like Now you have that girl’s ideas. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things that she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great ___78___, I found that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change, like being very short, but a great number of them I could. I wanted to change the bad things, and for the first time I knew something about myself in a very clear way.
I brought the list back to my father. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said, “You know better than ___79___ else the truths about yourself, but sometimes others’ opinions are also important, so you have to learn how to ___80___, and not just close your ears in anger and feel hurt.
When something that is said about you is true, you’ll find that it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think that they know you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to all of them, but hear the truth and do what you think is the right thing to do.” I have remembered my father’s advice at many important moments. I have never had a better piece of advice in my whole life.
( ) 75. A. longer B. shorter C. politer D. fairer
( ) 76. A. happily B. quietly C. angrily D. usually
( ) 77. A. dreamed of B. thought about C. worked out D. dealt with
( ) 78. A. joy B. unhappiness C. surprise D. interest

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words （在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给) （14分）
There are many things you can do to i___81___ your memory, such as using various memorizing methods as well as taking special care of your health.
It is important that you regularly stimulate (刺激) your brain to make your memory more efficient. For example, you can do activities that you do not u___82___ do and change your daily habits. Learning a new skill helps your brain develop. When trying to memorize something, you should focus your a___83___ on the most important things about it. Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind because this will lower your chances of remembering things accurately.
An excellent way to help memory is to
l___84___ information with pictures. Try to see the images in your mind. Taking notes, being organized and keeping a diary will also be useful tools.
Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are
e___85___ for your memory to work properly. Drinking a lot of water also helps maintain your memory. You must allow your brain to have
enough sleep and rest too. When you are asleep, your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can, therefore, cause problems with storing information. In addition, being t___86___ will stop you from being able to concentrate well. Caffeine in tea and coffee is very good at preventing sleepiness and helping concentration, but some people believe they may cause problems with memory.
In order to concentrate well, you must be relaxed. Generally keeping f___87___ and having regular health checks are both important as well, and not just for improving your memory.

85. _________ 86. _________ 87. _________
D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (第88题1分；第89—92题每小题2分；第93题3分；共12分)
Experts say learning disabilities are not with intelligence (智力) or diligence (勤奋). The problem, they say, is that some people’s brains process information differently.
Generally speaking, people with learning disabilities are average or above average in their intelligence. But their disorders may affect their ability to gain knowledge and, as a result, limit their success in school or jobs.
Different people can have different kinds of learning disabilities. One person may have difficulty with language development. Another may have trouble working with numbers. People can have more than one disorder, but reading is the most common area of difficulty.
Learning disabilities are neurological （神经系统的） disorders that affect the brain’s ability to store, process and communicate information. The National Centre for Learning Disabilities reported that fifteen million Americans, or five percent, are affected. Three million students in the United States received some kind of special help in school because of learning disabilities. Learning disabilities may help explain why some students do not perform as well in school as intelligence tests suggest they should.
People with a learning disability may have trouble following directions. Or they may not know how to start a task. Children who have problems connecting letters with sounds or understanding what they read may be showing signs of learning disabilities.
Experts say learning disabilities cannot be cured. But people can learn ways to deal with their disorders. Teachers and parents can provide support that will help students learn successfully.

How to improve your memory
As we all know, memory plays a very important role in our daily life. Without good memory, we cannot pass the examination or do our jobs well. So how to improve our memory is a question. I think there are many ways to improve it. Firstly, we should have enough sleep and eat healthily in our daily life. Secondly, we should practise memorizing things by using some methods which can help us to remember things quickly. Last but not least, keeping fit and having regular health checks are both important as well, and not just for improving your memory.

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (第88题1分；第89—92题每小题2分；第93题3分；共12分)
Experts say learning disabilities are not with intelligence (智力) or diligence (勤奋). The problem, they say, is that some people’s brains process information differently.
Generally speaking, people with learning disabilities are average or above average in their intelligence. But their disorders may affect their ability to gain knowledge and, as a result, limit their success in school or jobs.
Different people can have different kinds of learning disabilities. One person may have difficulty with language development. Another may have trouble working with numbers. People can have more than one disorder, but reading is the most common area of difficulty.
Learning disabilities are neurological （神经系统的） disorders that affect the brain’s ability to store, process and communicate information. The National Centre for Learning Disabilities reported that fifteen million Americans, or five percent, are affected. Three million students in the United States received some kind of special help in school because of learning disabilities. Learning disabilities may help explain why some students do not perform as well in school as intelligence tests suggest they should.
People with a learning disability may have trouble following directions. Or they may not know how to start a task. Children who have problems connecting letters with sounds or understanding what they read may be showing signs of learning disabilities.
Experts say learning disabilities cannot be cured. But people can learn ways to deal with their disorders. Teachers and parents can provide support that will help students learn successfully.

How to improve your memory
As we all know, memory plays a very important role in our daily life. Without good memory, we cannot pass the examination or do our jobs well. So how to improve our memory is a question. I think there are many ways to improve it. Firstly, we should have enough sleep and eat healthily in our daily life. Secondly, we should practise memorizing things by using some methods which can help us to remember things quickly. Last but not least, keeping fit and having regular health checks are both important as well, and not just for improving your memory.
