Ⅰ.阅读理解
If you don't have time to read, you don't have time to write. The idea that we must be readers first in order to be writers is repeated throughout books on writing and is often the first piece of advice published authors give to ambitious novelists. “The more we read, the faster we can perform that magic trick of seeing how the letters have been combined into words that have meaning，” writes best selling author Francine Prose in Reading Like a Writer.
In a study done by the University of Florida, researchers surveyed students' reading materials and habits. Upon analyzing their findings, the researchers concluded that students who read academic journals and literary fiction scored higher in terms of writing complexities (复杂事物) than those who read popular fiction or web content published on sites.
However, Andrew Jarosz, a psychology professor at Mississippi State University, points out that this study had a relatively small sample size and says it's too soon to draw the conclusion.
“It could indeed be that reading complex materials leads to more complex writing，” he said. “Alternatively, what if those who are better writers prefer to read complex materials that mirror their own writing abilities It is entirely possible that the relationship goes in the other direction.”
Jarosz says other factors may also be responsible for why some people write at a higher level than others, including intelligence, working memory capacity and the ability to store and process information at the same time.
Susan Reynolds, author of Fire Up Your Writing Brain, believes that deep reading — thoughtful and slow reading that's rich in complexities and sensory details — is essential for a better writer. She encourages writers to abandon television and commercial fiction and instead read poetry and literary fiction, which encourages a deeper reading. Research has found that deep reading is different from other types of reading when we skim for information.
By reading, writers not only gather knowledge, but they also gain a better understanding of language, learn their writing styles, grow their vocabulary and most importantly, find inspiration.
1．What is stressed in the first paragraph
A．The difficulties of writing books.
B．The way of reading like a writer.
C．The requirements for being a writer.
D．The importance of reading for writers.
2．What does the study done by the University of Florida suggest
A．Writing ability mainly relies on reading time.
B．The level of writing can reflect what one reads.
C．What a person reads is determined by his writing habits.
D．Writing ability can show one's academic achievements.
3．What opinion does Andrew Jarosz hold
A．No writers can get help from simple materials.
B．Better writers prefer to read complex materials.
C．Simple materials can also lead to better writers.
D．All writers usually like reading simple materials.
4．What's the last but one paragraph mainly about
A．What deep reading is.
B．Good materials to read.
C．Why deep reading is good.
D．Different types of reading.

What's the biggest problem with memory skills __1__ There are many memory skills that work well, but you'll forget them when you need them most — unless you make using them a habit. So when you take the time to learn a technique, use it until it becomes automatic.Here are some for you to have a try.
Use a story list. As a child, I went to a party. There was a game that involved looking at a table covered in fifteen various items.__2__ Finally, one boy won the prize by remembering all fifteen items. Later, I learned why he won. His father taught him a simple trick that none of us other kids knew. The skill is to tie the items together in an imaginative story.
__3__ When you learn a person's name, for example, tell yourself, “Remember that.”This signals your unconscious (潜意识的) mind to rank this input as more important.
Know why you want to remember something, and how you'll remember it. To remember a person, for example, ask why they'll be important to you in the future, imagine where you'll see them next, and connect that to anything you notice about them. Seeing the importance of remembering really helps.__4__
Do you ever forget where you put your keys？You have probably tried retracing (追溯) your steps, at least doing it in your imagination. __5__ When you set the keys on the chair, see yourself walking in and setting the keys on the chair. You won't forget where they are.
There are many more of these memory tricks. If you want them to be useful, though, don't just read about them. Make one or two memory skills a habit and start today.
A．Tell yourself to remember.
B．Where can you pick up these skills
C．The answer is remembering to use them.
D．It is not easy for us to learn memory techniques.
E．We had to write down as many items as we could remember.
F．Additional connections can set the memory more firmly in your brain.
G．This can work well, but even better is to prevent the forgetting beforehand.

Time flies! This is a third year that I have been in this school. In the past two and a half years, our school had organized many activities. What impressed me best was an activity called “Learning to Farm”. In an autumn afternoon, we were sent to a farm which we learned to plant potatoes. Having been in the city for so a long time, we were so happy to go to the countryside. After divided into three groups, we started to work. Some students cut potatoes into pieces; some dug holes, and the others put the pieces into the hole, put the earth back and pushed them down hard. We continued doing that until all the work was done. Although we were exhausted, but we felt happy on our way back home.PAGE

语篇解读：语言学习中，应考虑读音并花时间关注读音。
1．A.mistake B．watch
C．surround D．understand
解析：选D 很多语言学习者认为他们的发音已经足够好了，因为他们的老师不经常纠正他们，或其他同学能够听懂他们所说的。mistake“弄错”；watch“观看”；surround“包围”；understand“理解，明白”。
2．A.fixed B．drawn
C．paid D．called
解析：选C 此句是本段的主题句，发音是在语言学习中最少关注的一个方面/领域。pay attention to“关注”，符合语境和搭配。fix one's attention on/upon ...“留意，专心于(其中介词为on/upon)”；draw/call one's attention to“引起某人对……的注意”，不合语境。
3．A.never B．ever
C．even D．usually
解析：选D 从下文可知，多数老师通常会让学生继续说下去。这是多数老师通常的做法，故用usually。
4．A.only if B．if only
C．even if D．if ever
解析：选A 只有当他们说的完全错了才会让他们停下来。only if“只有当……(的时候)”；if only“但愿，要是……多好”；even if“即使”；if ever“如果有过的话(如果发生过的话)”。从语境看，只有only if合适。
5．A.fantastic B．impossible
C．necessary D．important
解析：选B 该句和下句是对本段第二句的解释。在课堂上纠正每个学生的发音是不可能的(impossible)。
6．A.poor B．well
C．good D．strict
解析：选C 从“that it will embarrass their classmates if they ...”来看，这里是指发音好的同学的担心。be good at“在……方面好，擅长……”。
7．A.find out B．work out
C．try out D．point out
解析：选D 判断“if they help ...”中they指代“谁”是做此题的关键。从语境知，这里的they指代的是“the students who are ________ at pronunciation”，因此，“他们”应该是“指出”同学们的错误，故用point out (指出)。
8．A.communicate B．travel
C．pronounce D．exchange
解析：选A 从下文可判断，此处说的是“因为对老师和别的学生来说你的发音足够好，你就相信你的发音足够好而能够进行交流(communicate)的话，那么当真正到了国外你也许会感到很吃惊”。本文谈论的主题是“发音”问题，与此相关应是用语言进行“交流”，因此不能选择travel(背离了主题)，下文举例也说明了这一点。
9．A.happy B．disappointed
C．surprised D．excited
解析：选C 那么当真正到了国外你也许会感到很吃惊。
10．A.Polish B．French
C．German D．English
解析：选D 下文谈到他到了美国，结合常识可判断，在波兰时他是“英语”课上(英语)最好的学生。
11．A.none B．half
C．rest D．lot
解析：选B 当他到美国时，他发现他说的话美国人听懂不到一半。none不能用在否定句中；rest常与the连用，构成the rest，即使加上the，此处也不对，因前面没有提到他说的话的一部分；lot也不能用，应该为a lot或lots才对。
12．A.near to B．different from
C．far from D．from far
解析：选C 你的发音也许仍然与生来就说英语的人的发音差别很大。far from“远离……，远非”，这里指差别很大(暗含还能听懂一部分)。different from“与……不同”，quite different from“与……完全不同”，不符合语境。
13．A.same B．matter
C．case D．fact
解析：选C if this is the case是常用语，意为“要是这样，如果这样的话”。
14．A.easy B．beneficial
C．convenient D．hard
解析：选D 要是这样(指的是你的发音与生来就说英语的人的发音差别很大)的话，别人将会发现听懂你说的话“很难(hard)”，并非“容易”、“有利”或“方便”。
15．A.In conclusion B．In a word
C．On the contrary D．In short
解析：选A 这是作者根据学生的常见问题最后提一点建议，并非作总结，故不能选择in a word, in short。in conclusion在此相当于finally。
16．A.when B．until
C．unless D．while
解析：选B not ...until ...为常见句型，意为“直到……才……”。
17．A.Stand B．Look
C．Aim D．Account
解析：选C 从下文的“In order to achieve this goal”得到暗示。以母语或以接近母语的发音为目标，这样就会自如地和与你交谈的人交流了。aim for“瞄准，以……为目标”。stand for“代表”；look for“寻找”；account for“解释……的原因”。
18．A.smoothly B．difficultly
C．truly D．practically
解析：选A 练习发音就是为了能与人自如地交流，smoothly“顺畅地，流利地”。
19．A.no way B．no need
C．no doubt D．no wonder
解析：选C there's no doubt that ...“毫无疑问……”。为了实现上述目标，毫无疑问你需要开始思考发音问题，并在这上面花些时间。no way“决不”；no need“没有必要”；no wonder“难怪”。
20．A.take B．cost
C．spend D．kill
解析：选C spend ...on ...“在……上花费时间”，符合搭配和语境。kill time也能搭配，但通常表示“消磨时光”；take time的主语往往是“事物”，不是“人”。
Ⅳ.语法填空
You are the only person that you can and ought to rely on.
Friends are of great __1__ (important) in our lives. It is __2__ (fortune) to have some devoted ones. However, there will always be circumstances __3__ which your friends will let you down.

Therefore, I suggest __10__ (learn) to stand on your own two feet because it will make it easier to stand alone when things get ugly and there is no one to help you.
