Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
As a parent you might never guess all the ways a good imagination benefits your child. It helps a pre-schooler (学龄前儿童)．
Develop social skills
As children play pretend, they explore relationships between family members, friends and co-workers and learn more about how people interact. Playing doctor, they imagine how physicians care for their patients. Playing house, they learn more about how parents feel about their children. Imaginative play helps develop empathy (同情) for others. If children can imagine how it feels to be left out of a game or to lose a pet, they are better able to help those in need. They become more willing to play fair, to share, and to cooperate.
Build self-confidence
Young children have very little control over their lives. Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers (摩天大楼) or a superhero defending the planet is empowering to a child. It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential.
Boost intellectual growth
Using the imagination is the beginning of abstract thought. Children who can see a king's castle in a mound (堆) of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically (象征性地). This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numerals symbolize groups of objects, letters symbolize sounds, and so on.
Practice language skills
Kids who play pretend with their friends do a lot of talking. This helps boost their vocabulary, improve sentence structure and promote communication skills.
Work out fears
Playing pretend can help children work out their fears and worries. When children role-play about the big，bad monster under the bed, they gain a sense of control over him and he doesn't seem quite so big or so bad.Imaginative play also helps kids vent (发泄) confusing feelings they might have, such as anger toward a parent or compete with a new sibling (兄弟姐妹)．
To encourage your youngster's imagination, read to him every day. Books offer children the opportunity to visit other worlds and create new ones of their own.
For generations children have enjoyed reading the story of Peter Pan because Peter takes them on fascinating adventures.Reader's Digest Young Families offers a beautiful typical Disney edition of Peter Pan, which is an iParenting Media Awards winner. Click here to find out how you can get this classic story
along with 2 free books—Bambi and Pinocchio.
36．What's NOT the advantage of children having a good imagination?
A．Understanding the other people's feelings and problems.
B．Expressing their feelings like anger.
C．Having a strong faith in their own abilities and potential.
D．Helping them form a good habit of reading story.
37．What does the underlined word “Boost” mean ?
A．Improve. B．Limit.
C．Push. D．Praise.
38．From the last paragraph we can learn that________.
A．Reader's Digest Young Families wins an iParenting Media Award
B．Disney edition of Peter Pan can be got online for free
C．the story of Peter Pan has been popular with kids
D．Bambi and Pinocchio are offered for free because of bad sales
39．What's the purpose of writing the article?
A．To tell readers the benefits of encouraging children's imagination.
B．To introduce some wonderful Disney stories to readers.
C．To provide ways of helping make kids more imaginative.
D．To persuade parents to buy the Disney edition of Peter Pan.
B
Employees are being flooded with too much information that has little to do with their work, according to a new survey.
On average, white-collar workers spend 51 percent of their work time receiving and processing information.Only one third of it was relevant to their work, the survey found. Information overload for white-collar workers has become a global issue. The huge amount of information has already affected their efficiency in management as well as their performance at work.
Buried with e-mails
Every morning, a secretary at the human resources department of an auto parts company opens her e-mail box, only to find it crammed with at least 50 unread mails. For her, even scanning through these e-mails every day takes at least half an hour. Some of her colleagues are not so lucky—they have to read at least 100.
Bothered with calls
Telephone calls are also causing a problem. More than 40 percent white-collar workers choose mobile phones as the preferred way to communicate important and urgent business matters. Talking saves time and energy over the clicking, reading and replying to
e-mails, but phone calls are also more distracting (分心的). While answering a call, a clerk is likely to put
away a much more important task at hand and start the business being talked about on the phone.
Solution? Not yet
Many companies start with providing staff with better computers, better Internet access and more advanced gadgets(小装置). For example, staff members above a certain level in one company will be provided with a blackberry phone for easier access to their e-mails. The company has also organized many lectures on efficient ways of e-mail management. Yet most white-collar workers think their companies can do more.
40．What does the new survey find about white-collar workers?
A．They spend 51 percent of their work time on meetings.
B．Only half of the information they receive is useful.
C．Over 60 percent of them prefer to use the telephone.
D．Some of them have to read at least 100 e-mails every day.
41．Telephone calls cause a problem because____________.
A．they take up the time to receive and send e-mails
B．they are often not answered
C．they are mostly not about business
D．they may lead to change of work schedule
42．How do some companies try to solve the problem of information overload?
A．They start to give staff a pay rise.
B．They plan to employ more people.
C．They provide employees with more advanced
equipment.
D．They organize lectures on how to reduce stress.
43．What is the major issue discussed in this text?
A．Poor management leads to inefficiency at work.
B．Junk mail is causing big trouble.
C．White-collar workers suffer from information
overload.
D．Better computers are in need in workplaces.

Many years ago，when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver，I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station (加油站)about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台)，I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took_off，but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend's.We chatted on the way into the city，and when I got out of the car，the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me.Soon afterward，I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later，I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day，and the battery (电池)was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？”I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment；so when I got home I wrote them a note to say thanks，I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you，and it meant a lot，he said.
“Thank you”—two powerful words.They're easy to say and mean so much.
44．The words “took off”underlined in Paragraph 2 mean ______.
A．turned off B．moved off
C．put up D．set up
45．What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car?
A．He had it pulled back to the gas station.

D
Winning the lottery (彩票) is not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for many past winners. Sad stories do exist in large numbers for the past lottery winners and that's why some financial experts say “70 percent of lottery winners will squander away (乱花) winning within a few years.” Some end up losing all within two years, family relationships destroyed or
even worse. Wayne Schenk was an old soldier diagnosed with lung cancer. When he won a million dollars in a lottery he thought his troubles were over and he would get the advanced medical treatment that might save his life. But lottery officials refused to pay him the total sum in a single payment and they said they could not make an exception to the regulations. When Schenk died in 2007, he'd only received one payment of $ 34,000.
Another lottery winner, Billy Bob Harrell, Jr. killed himself two years after winning 31 million dollars in the Texas lottery in 1997. He'd spent large amounts of money and given large amounts away, but he didn't find that expected peace that should have come with the freedom of money.
Other lottery winners have ended up in prison for crimes. Many suffer bankruptcy (破产) after the big jackpot (头奖) is spent and given away, including some of the eight people who won the 365 million Powerball in 2006.
The examples given paint a sad picture of what can happen if you win a big lottery jackpot, but fortunately, these examples don't tell the stories of all jackpot winners.
47．What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A．Most lottery winners use up the money quickly.
B．Most lottery winners don't really end up well.
C．Winning lottery means relationships destroyed.
D．Financial experts are against the lottery industry.
48．Why did lottery officials refuse to give Wayne Schenk the million dollars in one payment?
A．He was diagnosed with lung cancer.
B．He was unwilling to give away his money.
C．They had to observe the official rules.
D．They didn't want to disturb his peace.
49．The author supports his main idea by________.
A．giving examples B．making comparisons
C．listing numbers D．stating reasons
50．In the following paragraph, the author will probably talk about________.
A．advice given by financial experts
B．happy stories of the lottery winners
C．conclusion drawn by the author
D．regulations about lottery winning

(2013·辽宁开原高二上期末) Why is setting goals important? ____51____ Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. ____52____ It's like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there surely without any wasted time of wrong turns. The other driver has no goal, or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be?
____53____ They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people usually just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set and they aren't difficult to reach. ____54____ You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.
____55____ Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.

综合检测(三)
1．B 根据题意分析，病人会选择声誉好的医生。expectation“期望”；contribution“贡献”；position“地位，职位”；reputation“名声，声誉”。
2．B 考查动词词组辨析。appeal to“呼吁，请求，吸引”；adapt to“适应”；apply to“应用，申请”；attach to“附上”。语意为“你必须学会如何适应别人”，因此，空白处填adapt to。
3．A 句意：另一个公司试图通过向一个雇员行贿来得到接近我们新型号计划的机会。access“接近/利用……的权利/机会”；approach“接近，手段”；information“信息”；knowledge“知识”。

5．C 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：不幸的童年可能对人的性格有些负面影响，但是这些影响并不总是永久的。practical实际的；avoidable可避免的；permanent永久的；beneficial有利的。
6．A 根据前一句说明“你作出了一个好的决定”，故“我”应“赞成”这个决定。approve of“赞成”。agree with表“同意，赞成”时，其后应跟sb.。
7．D 考查动词词组辨析。句意：考虑到他的健康状况，我建议他每天腾出一两个小时锻炼身体。set about“着手做”；set off“出发”；set up“建立”；set aside“留出”。根据语意可知选D。
8．A 句意：我提出到山里或海边度假的供选择的建议。alternative“供选择的”，符合句意。
9．C 句意：别担心，我想经理这次会忽略你的过错，此处用overlook“(对不良现象)不予理会”。
10．A 句意：他要回家真是太高兴了。在形容词happy前用too，此时too...to...不表示否定意义，而表示“做某事真是太……”。

12．B 句意：这个由残疾人表演的舞蹈是一个很大的成功，但是多年之前没有人能够想象他们能取得如此大的成功。本题考查情态动词的用法。由句中years ago可知这里是对过去发生事情的推测，因此应用could have imagined表示对过去可能发生事情的推测。
13．A B、C、D三项后不能接从句，所以只有A项符合题意。句意：除了不明白她为什么离开他外，他什么都明白。
14．D 句意：“这是你第一次参观成都吗？”“不是，但是我第一次来这里时，这个城市没有这么漂亮。”在句式结构“This/It is the first/second/last...time＋从句”中，从句要用现在完成时，the first time引导时间状语从句，时态应与主句时态一致。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者在圣诞节前通过一种游戏，在邻里之间传递祝愿，由此帮助邻居老太太实现了圣诞节心愿。
16．C 我们决定让这些卡片成为邻里之间的游戏的一部分。turn sth.into“(使某物)变成”。
17．D 这些卡片在邻里之间传递。pass along“传递下去”，这里指“传递”给别人。find out“找出，发现”；hide away“藏起来”；throw off“抛弃，摆脱”。
18．A 根据后面的“Happy Holidays too”可知是表达“祝愿”，所以用wishing。too也是该题的突破口。
19．B 此处指挨家挨户递送，所以用deliver。
20．B 由接下来的一句话可推知，当时作者没有想到别人会送卡片给他，所以看到邻居的举动，他有点儿好奇。

23．A something表示“某种东西”。

28．A 从“but”和“she could not”可知，此处表示“不幸”。
29．A 但是依她固定的收入，她买不起火腿。afford“买得起，能支付得起”。
30．D income“收入”。句意见上题解析。
31．B 回到家里，把家里的东西“拿出来”，用take out。
32．B 上一句她说“不要”和后面的“我坚持”之间存在逻辑上的“转折”关系。
33．D 结合上文，作者因能帮助老太太而感觉很好。

【语篇解读】 这是一篇应用文，介绍想象力对儿童的益处，最后说明培养孩子想象力的方法——给孩子读书。
36．D 细节理解题。从最后两段后可知，要让孩子提高想象力，最好的办法就是多读书给他们。这里并没有说可以帮助他们养成阅读故事的好习惯。用排除法也可解答该题。从“Develop social skills”部分可知A项表述正确；从“Work out fears”部分可知B项表述正确；而C项与“Build self-confidence”部分的信息一致。
37．A 词义猜测题。结合该段的内容，即丰富的想象力带给儿童的又一好处，例如，可以帮助孩子进行抽象思考等，因此，可推知该段标题的意思是“促进智力发育”，故选A。

42．C 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段前半部分中的内容可知一些公司解决问题的办法是为员工提供更加先进的设备。
43．C 主旨大意题。本文是一篇调查报道，结合全文尤其是文章第一段的内容可知本文的主要内容是白领深受信息泛滥之苦。
44．B 联系上下文可知，我在“离开”加油站刚刚开车几英里时我的车出毛病了，故此处took off应为“离开，出发”之意；turn off“关闭”；move off“离开”；put up“搭建，举起，张贴”；set up“创建，搭起”。
45．C 由第二段可知“They said they would take me to my friend's.”及“We chatted on the way...”，作者受到了那对老年夫妇的帮助，故C项正确。
46．D 作者讲述了自己的两次经历，在接受别人帮助并对别人真心感谢，会使双方都感到开心愉悦，正如作者所说“They're easy to say and mean so much.”，故表达谢意是有必要的。
【语篇解读】 人人都有发财梦，可调查发现，买彩票中了大奖的很多人并没有过上好日子。相反，他们的最终结果却很糟糕。这到底是为什么呢？
47．B 主旨大意题。本文通过实例告诉人们，买彩票中大奖的很多人并没有过上好日子，相反，他们的最终结果却很糟糕。

Is_a_Training_Class_or_Family_Teacher_Necessary?
More_and_more_middle_school_students_are_going_to_all_kinds_of_training_classes_or_having_family_teachers_at_the_weekend.There_are_two_different_viewpoints_about_it.
Some think it necessary.Firstly，it's more effective to study with a teacher than by themselves.Secondly，it can strengthen what is learnt in class.Besides，they can learn a lot more.Others think it unnecessary.For one thing，students can easily form the habit of dependence.For another，students need time to relax from time to time.What's more，the purpose of many training classes and teachers is to make money.
In my opinion，whether a training class or family teacher is needed just depends.If you are really very weak at or interested in a certain subject，maybe it's OK for you.But be sure to choose a good and suitable class or teacher，otherwise it would be a waste of time and money.

Extra-curricula (课外课程) in high school are a great benefit to students，so it is important to find time for at least one.They're a great way to have fun，make new friends，learn about yourself，and open the door to possible future careers.However，sometimes it can be hard to make decisions about extra-curricula.Keep these suggestions in mind.
Part of the fun of clubs，activities，and sports is the thing itself.If you love to write，then working on the school newspaper or magazine will give you a chance to express yourself and develop your skills.Do something because you simply enjoy it.
Maybe your mom was a cheerleader and has always dreamt of her little girl on the squad (班，小队)，or your dad wants you to be part of the newspaper staff because he's a reporter himself.If this is happening to you and you're not sure whether you really want to do it，have a try and give it up if you really don't like it.
Just as important are the friends you'll make by taking part in these activities.It can be hard to make friends in your regular classes or the lunchroom，but taking part in a club or team is a great way to meet kids who have the same interests.By spending time together and working for the same goal，you'll have the chance to form lasting friendships.
However，try to avoid joining an activity simply because your friends are doing it.This might get you stuck in something you're not that into，or keep you from exploring new hobbies and sports.

A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Web holism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages.They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms.They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.

They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes.The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.
Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to keep themselves apart from the society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future.

Dear Highlights
Ask a question!
E-mail it to Letters @ Highlights. com.
Gift Giving
I'm going to China, and everyone in my class is asking me to buy them something. What should I do?
Reply from the Highlights Editors
Your classmates are probably just excited about your trip. Most likely they don't expect you to buy gifts for everyone.Sending a few postcards to the entire class during your trip would be a wonderful way to share your experiences. The pictures on the cards and your words of description will be the best gift of all.
Dog Begging
My dog always begs for food at the dinner table. I really want to feed him, but my mom says I can't. I'm afraid he won't like me anymore. What should I do?
Reply from the Highlights Editors
Your dog loves you for many more reasons than just for what you feed him. You can show him that you care
about him by playing with him, by petting him and speaking kindly to him, and by making sure he has fresh water. It might be best if your dog is not near the dinner table while you are eating. You could teach him to stay in another room.
Being Bilingual (会说双语的)
My aunt insists that we speak our language (Tagalog) at home and English outside the house. Do you think she is right?
Reply from the Highlights Editors
It is a great gift to have someone in your family who is willing to take the time to teach you another language. It's good way to keep family traditions alive, and it helps to develop your language skills. Your ability to use both English and Tagalog will help you learn a third and fourth language later in life. So it sounds like a great idea !
1．The Highlights editors suggest the student who is going to China________.
A．send postcards as the gifts to the class
B．give each classmate a picture as a gift

8．angle 9.lacked 10.access
Ⅱ.1.A 考查名词词义辨析。句意：学生要有使用好图书馆的便利条件。这里考查have/gain/get/obtain access to，意为“可使用”。benefit意为“利益”，method意为“方法”，success意为“成功”，皆不符合题意。
2．A 句意：一定要格外小心这些烟火，稍有火星就能引起爆炸。set off引爆。
3．D keep contact with与……接触，keep touch with与……联系，keep pace with跟上。
4．D 句意：我父亲是一个真正的保守主义者，他至今还认为妇女应该待在家里。从think的宾语从句中可以看出父亲是个很保守的人。
5．B select精选，挑选；pick(挑剔、苛刻地)选择；elect选举；choose from...从……中选择。句意：我们在这个箱子里挑选了一些好衣服。
6．C 尽管我非常小心地倒牛奶，但还是洒了一些。pour表示“倒”。
7．A 考查名词。句意：我因乱扔杂物而受到的处罚是捡几小时废纸。从题干里“picking up waste paper”知道这是对我的惩罚，所以选punishment。mistake意为“错误”，excuse意为“借口”，reason意为“理由”，都不符合题意。
8．D 句意：他在化学和物理上的研究使他享有国际声望。reputation名誉，声望。
9．B It is/was worthwhile doing sth.“做某事是值得的”。worth不能单独作表语；be worthy of“值得……的”；valuable“贵重的，有价值的”，常用于修饰物品的贵重或有价值。

11．B alternative有“可选择的，可替代的”之意，符合题意。primary首要的，初期的；instant立即的，迅速的；unique独特的。
12．C 考查分词作状语。句意：尽管缺钱，他的父母还是设法让他上了大学。his parents与lack之间呈主谓关系，所以应用现在分词作状语；lack作动词时不与of搭配，所以答案选C。
13．C 本题考查动词的词义辨析。句意：她看到自己的脸映在汽车的挡风玻璃上。resemble像，类似，与look like相近；consider考虑，认为；reflect反射，反映；shape使成形，塑造。这里是过去分词作后置定语，reflect与被修饰词face之间是逻辑上的动宾关系。根据句意，选C。
14．C 句意：——对不起，史密斯教授，昨天我没有完成作业。——哦，你本应该完成的，因为昨天是最后的期限。四个选项中B项不能与have done连用，故被排除；must have done意为“肯定做了……”，表推测，说明说话人对所推测的事情把握较大；should have done 本应该做……(实际上没做……)；shouldn't have done本不应该做……(实际上做了……)。由语境可知C项正确。
15．A 考查连词辨析。句意：我想早到20分钟，目的是有时间喝杯茶。so that引导目的状语从句。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and get answers. In the light of these he put further questions, and so on.
For most of the time this “conversation” goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however, we become aware of it.This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.
Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension that is written in the text, while the latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.
There is another conversation that from our point of view is important, and that has not to do with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a “process” conversation as opposed to a “content” conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we employ in reading. If we are skilled readers, our ability to hold a content conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed. Not so our ability to hold a process conversation. It is just this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.

When I was asked to speak at the Community Book Club lunch party, I thought about several topics that might be of interest to a group of readers, and I considered doing a book review or discussing the life of a well-known literary figure, but I thought I would break with tradition today in order to share some anecdotes from the life of a man, who, like you, enjoyed reading.
In spite of the fact that Thomas Alva Edison had almost no formal education, spending only three months in school, his mother taught him to read at quite an early age. Between the ages of nine and twelve, he read such difficult volumes as Homers' History of England, Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, and Neon's Principia.
As a young man, Mr.Edison decided to read all of the books in the Detroit public library, systematically (系统的) shelf by shelf. After finishing the first fifteen feet, he decided to reconsider the task.
A few years later, in Cincinnati, his love for reading almost cost him his life. Having stayed at the library until very late, Mr.Edison started home with a pile of old magazines for which he had paid the large sum of two dollars. Suspecting that he might be a thief, a policeman ordered him to stop. But Mr.Edison was too deaf to hear the order. The policeman shot, and missed.
In addition to the electric light, Thomas Edison is known for inventing the photograph, microphone, mimeograph, electric storage battery, and photographic film. Whenever he was paid for an invention, he used the money for his two loves—more experiments and more books.
A friend described Edison's life in those busy days: “I went to visit Tom，” he said，“and I found him sitting behind a pile of books five feet high which he had ordered from New York, London, and Paris. He studied them night and day, eating at his desk and sleeping in his chair. In six weeks he had read all of the books and had performed more than two thousand experiments using the formulas that he had studied.”
5．The reason why the speaker chose to talk about Thomas Edison is that________.
A．he was a well-known scientist
B．he was a famous literary figure
C．he liked to read very much
D．he is one of the author's best friends
6．What did Mr.Edison do with the money that he earned from his invention?
A．He built schools for the poor children.
B．He spent it on books and doing experiments.
C．He gave the money to the public library.
D．He offered the money to his mother for further education.
7．Which one of the following is TRUE about Edison according to the passage?
A．He ever stole some magazines from the library.
B．His ear was shot by the police and went deaf.
C．He received most of his education from reading.
D．He never received any formal education at all.
8．The BEST title for this passage is“________”．
A．Thomas Edison—a great inventor

课时作业(九)
Ⅰ.1.urged 2.ignored 3.inspired 4.adapted
5．defence 6.vital 7.beneficial 8.unwilling 9.acquired 10.appreciation
Ⅱ.1.A 句意：小男孩总是很活泼好动，很难控制，这是常见的情况。tend to“倾向于”，tend to do sth.“倾向做某事”；link to“与……联系”；select to无此搭配；appeal to“对……有吸引力”。故A项符合句意。
2．A 考查动词辨析。句意：——你昨天晚上没和他打招呼吗？——噢，我看到他就停下来冲他微笑，但是他没理我就走了。ignore意为“不理睬，忽视”，符合题意。refuse意为“拒绝”；deny意为“否认，拒绝给予”；miss意为“怀念，错过”。
3．C 句意：最后，我想要说我在这里过得有多愉快。generally speaking笼统地说，一般来说；to be honest老实说；in conclusion总之，最后；after all毕竟；终归。
4．D 考查动词词义辨析。句意：小说经常被改编后搬到舞台、电视或者广播中。adapt改编。
5．B 考查形容词。句意：这个世纪初的孩子们习惯了没有电视的生活。这里考查be accustomed to(doing)sth.意为“习惯于(做)某事”。disappointed意为“失望的”，puzzled意为“迷惑的”，harmful意为“有害的”，皆不符合题意。
6．B 句意：我同意你去挣一些钱，但是请不要忘了学习。approve of赞同，支持。
7．A 考查动词词义辨析。assume“假设”；announce“发表，声明”；assist“援助”；approve“批准，赞成”。根据句意A项正确。
8．C 考查动词。句意：我们必须用功学习才能精通英语。acquire多用于通过不断地“学”、“问”等慢慢地获取学问、技术等抽象的东西。make意为“制作，做”，offter意为“主动提供”，take意为“拿”，皆不符合题意。
9．A 句意：她妈妈病得很严重。医生督促她进行X光检查，然后他可以得出结论来。urge sb.to do/into doing sth.“督促某人干某事”，符合句意。urge on sb.“向某人强调”；urge against“强烈反对”。
10．B it is vital后跟that从句时，从句要用虚拟语气，即谓语形式为“(should＋)动词原形”；根据句意，此处要用被动语态。故选B项。
Ⅲ.1.C 细节理解题。由第2段中“This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning.”可知答案为C项。
2．D 细节理解题。读第3段可知低水平的阅读理解仅仅是对文字表面的理解，故选D项。
3．D 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we employ in reading”可以看出这个对话过程与阅读技巧息息相关。
4．C 推理判断题。文章是想告诉我们针对不同的阅读素材，要采取不同的阅读策略，这样才能有更好的理解。
【语篇解读】 作者借助名人爱迪生的奇闻轶事在宴会上发言，向我们展示了读书的作用。
5．C 这篇文章是讲给a group of readers听的，而且他也说了“a man，who，like you，enjoyed reading”这句话是对Thomas下面的事情的总括。
6．B 由第5段最后一句话“Whenever he was paid for an invention，he used the money for his two loves—more experiments and more books”可得答案。
7．C 事实上他没有偷东西，那些杂志是他花钱买的。警察怀疑他偷东西，让他停住，但因为耳聋听不见，他没有停下，于是警察朝他开枪，但没有射中，他不是被警察打聋的。由文章的第2段可以判断D项错误。
8．C 文章主要讲述了爱迪生通过广泛读书自学的事情，说明他爱读书的习惯。而不是重点讲述他的发明。因此C项为文章标题最合适。
Ⅳ.1.It is necessary for us to master a foreign language.
2．Milk and vegetables are beneficial to a growing child.
3．My friends urged that I should apply for the job.
