How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house，and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America.We were on the bus then.I was crying，and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me.I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning. 21*cnjy*com
I do not remember m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )yself crying for this reason again.In fact，I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) followed taught me the importance of optimism，but the idea did not come to me at once.For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what I was or what I should be.Mother remarried，and things became even more complex for me.Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.I was often sad，and saw no end to “the hard times”．
My responsibilit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ies in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home.I wrote letters，filled out forms，translated at interviews with Immigration officers，took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there，and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.【出处：21教育名师】
From my exper ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iences I have learned one important rule：Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up，and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right，even though it will not be that easy.

2．Upon leaving for America the author felt________.2-1-c-n-j-y
A．confused B．excited C．worried D．amazed
答案 B
解析 第二段前两行告诉我们作者离开的时候感受到的不是困惑和担忧，而是兴奋。

A．often lost h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er way B．did not think about her future
C．studied in three ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )different schools D．got on well with her stepfather
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。由第三段的第二句“For ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves.”可知选C。
4．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4

C．She paid telephone b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ills for her family. D．She helped her family with her English.

第三部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
A
American and British ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )people both speak English of course.But sometimes it does not seem like the same language.In fact，there are some important differences between British English and American English.21cnjy.com
First of all ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，they sound very different.Often，Americans don’t say each word separately.They say several words together.Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know”．Or they may say “Whaddya say？” instead of “What did you say？”However，the British are more careful in their speech.They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Sound is not only th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e difference between British English and American English.Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England.The_same_thing_is_true_of_some_British_words_in_America.For example，the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different.Americans drive trucks，but in England people drive lorries.
Many expression ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s are also different in the two countries.In England，if you are going to telephone your friends，you “phone them up”．In America，you “give them a call”．When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio！” In America you might say “See you later.”
There’re also so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me differences in grammar.For example，Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question.They say “Do you have a storybook？” But the British often leave out the helping verb.They say “Have you a storybook？”
All these di ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fferences can be confusing if you are learning English.But most languages are like this.Languages change over time.When people live in separate places，the languages change in different ways.This is what has happened to English.It can also happen to other languages，such as French.Many people in Canada speak French，but their French is very different from the French of France.
56．What does the a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uthor think of the differences between American and British English
A．American and British English is the same languages.
B．American and British English are quite different.
C．Although American En ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )glish came from the British English，there are still some important differences.
D．There are slight differences between American and British English.
答案 C
解析 从第一段“But someti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mes it does not seem like the same language.In fact，there are some important differences between British English and American English.”看出两种英语有差别。
57．What does the underlined word “separately” mean
A．together. B．one by one. C．in common. D．in different ways.
答案 B
解析 从第二段“‘Whaddya say ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )？’ instead of ‘What did you say？’”看出美国英语不是一个一个单词地说；one by one“一个接一个”。
58．What does the unde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rlined sentence “The same thing is true of some British words in America.” mean
A．The words of American and British English is the same.
B．The spelling of American and British English is the same.
C．Although they don’t sound the same，the words are the same.
D．Some British English words are not used in American English.
答案 D
解析 从第三段“Some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) American words are never used in England.”看出，有些美式英语的单词在英式英语中是不用的，可推知画线部分意为“部分英式英语中的单词在美式英语中也不使用”。
59．How many ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ways are used to talk about the differences between American and British English in the passage 21世纪教育网版权所有
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.
答案 D
解析 在四个方面进行了探讨，它们是sound，words，expressions和grammar。
B
Eddie McKay，a once fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rgotten pilot，is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.
It all started ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )when Graham Broad，a professor at the University of Western Ontario，found McKay’s name in a footnote in a book about university history.McKay was included in a list of university alumni(校友) who had served during the First World War，but his name was unfamiliar to Broad，a specialist in military history.Out of curiosity，Broad spent hours at the local archives(档案馆) in a fruitless search for information on McKay.Tired and discouraged，he finally gave up.On his way out，Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers.His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform.As he read the words beside the picture，he experienced a thrilling realization.“After looking for him all day，there he was，staring up at me out of the exhibiting case，”said Broad.Excited by the find，Broad asked his students to continue his search.They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues.Gradually，a picture came into view.
Captain Alfred Edwi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916.He downed ten enemy planes，outlived his entire squadron(中队) as a WWI flyer，spent some time as a flying instructor in England，then returned to the front，where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917.But there’s more to his story.“For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world，”says Broad.“He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke，the most famous German pilot at the time.”Yet，in a letter home，McKay refused to take credit，saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.
McKay’s war ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )records were destroyed during a World War Ⅱ air bombing on London—an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.
But now，thank ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s to the efforts of Broad and his students，a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007.“I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word ‘deceased’(阵亡) next to his name，”said Corey Everrett，a student who found a picture of McKay in his uniform.“This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us，but instead of finishing his time at Western，he chose to fight and die for his country.”
60．What made Pr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ofessor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay
A．A uniform of McKay. B．A footnote about McKay.
C．A book on McKay. D．A picture of McKay.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。从文章第二段中 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform.”“After looking for him all day，there he was...”可知答案。
61．What did the students find out about McKay
A．He trained pilots ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for some time. B．He lived longer than other pilots.
C．He died in the S ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )econd World War. D．He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。从文章第三 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段中“...spent some time as a flying instructor in England...”可知答案。www.21-cn-jy.com
62．McKay’s flying documents were destroyed in .
A．Belgium B．Germany C．Canada D．England
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。从文章第四段中“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )McKay’s war records were destroyed during a World War Ⅱ air bombing on London...”可知答案。
63．What is the text mainly about
A．The research in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to war history. B．The finding of a forgotten hero.
C．The pilots of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )two world wars. D．The importance of military studies.
答案 B
解析 主旨大意题。文章第一段提出来 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )有一位曾经被人们遗忘的飞行员现在成为历史专业学生们谈论的一个话题。下文中重点描述了他是谁，他曾经为祖国做了什么，以及他为什么被忘记。 21*cnjy*com
C
Brian arrived at the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris.He was wearing three shirts，a jacket，two pairs of socks，a pair of shorts，and two pairs of jeans.He was carrying one small backpack，which was very full，but he didn’t have any other luggage.Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight.He found Tony near the Air France counter.Tony gave him a round trip ticket and a small package.
“Give this packa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ge to Jean Paul at the airport in Paris.He will have a sign with your name on it.I think you can find him easily，”Tony said.“You don’t have any luggage，right？”
“Only this bac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )kpack，”Brian answered.“You said I could bring one carry on bag.”
“That’s right.One carry on bag is fine.Have a good trip.”
“Thanks.”
Is Brian a cri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )minal(犯罪)？Not at all.He is an air courier.And he paid only $110 for the round trip ticket to Paris.Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries.Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day.Often，the only way they can do this is to use an air courier company.It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier，but it is quick.
Every year about ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 80,000 people worldwide travel as air couriers.The number of tickets for the air courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year.However，air courier travel isn’t for everyone.But if you have very little money，can be flexible(灵活的) about your travel plans，and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week，it can be a great way to take a vacation!
64．Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel
A．Because they were the uniforms for air couriers.
B．Because that made him easier to be recognized.
C．Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.
D．Because he did not have any luggage with him.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。从文中第一段“He wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s carrying one small backpack，which was very full，but he didn’t have any other luggage.”可知，Brian之所以穿这么多衣服是因为他的背包是满的，没法放他自己的衣服。
65．Businesses choose the air courier service because ________.
A．it costs less B．it is flexible C．it saves time D．it grows fast
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。从文中第六段最后一句可以看出，选择航空快递服务虽然昂贵，但是速度快，故选C项。
66．One of the d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )isadvantages of traveling as an air courier is that he ________.
A．cannot dec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ide when and where to travel B．cannot take any luggage with him
C．has to wea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r two pairs of jeans D．saves little money from the travel
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。从文中最后一段最后一句可以 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )看出，航空快递员挣钱不多，旅行安排多变，有时一周也没法换衣服，但是可以到处旅行。故A项“不能确定旅行时间和地点”是做航空快递员的最大缺点。
67．The author of the text mainly ________.
A．describes th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e activities of a law breaker B．suggests an ideal way to travel
C．argues aga ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inst the air courier travel D．tells us about a developing business
答案 D
解析 主旨大意题。纵观全文，文章介绍了航空快递员的工作特点和工作方式，是对这一新兴工作的概括性介绍。
D
True friends d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ouble your happiness and half your burdens.Basically how you would like a true friend to be is what you should be like to your true friends.Trust，forgiveness，responsibility are some elements of a true friendship.True friendships are hard to achieve.And what’s more，life is short.So treasure these friends if you already have them.If you don’t，continue to search，because once you have them，life will become so much easier to live，no matter what happens.I have been through very difficult times and I dare say，without my friends，I would not have made it.
Friendships need l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ots of energy and patience to maintain them，not to mention time.When your friend needs you，and when things are not going too well on your side，it is often so easy to turn_a_deaf_ear_to their requests.It is especially during these times that you must find the strength to help your friend.And it is during these times that your friendship will be made stronger.
And you must always ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) be happy for their successes，even when things are not going too well for you.It might be hard to do this，but it is something that you need to learn.Think about all the sacrifices your friend has made for you and all the times when he was happy for you despite his own troubles.Think about all the happy times you enjoyed and the sad，difficult times you went through together.That should give you plenty of patience to actually be a true friend.Remember，true friends are the next best thing to family.They will always be your supporters.
68．What is the best title for this passage
A．A Precious Friendship B．A True Friend
C．A Happy Time D．Friend，a Treasure
答案 B
解析 主旨大意题。文章开篇点题，下文围绕着这个论点进行阐述，故选B项。
69．According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )passage，to be a true friend，you do NOT need to ________.
A．trust your friends B．forgive your friends’ mistakes
C．spend much money on friends D．be helpful to your friends
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段的第三句可推知答案。
70．The under ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lined phrase “turn a deaf ear to” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．
A．pretend not to know B．take no measures to2·1·c·n·j·y
C．have no means to D．turn to a deaf for【版权所有：21教育】
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据上下文可知，当你的朋友需要你而事情并不利于你这一方的时候，很容易对他人的请求置若罔闻，故答案为A项。

My Opinion on Cheating in Examinations
Nowadays more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and more students are found to cheat in the exams.Reasons may vary from person to person.Anyway, they can be generalized as follows：
To begin with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), with endless examinations flooding in, some students may have difficulty working them out.Also, some students are too lazy to focus their attention on their studies.Besides, others cheat for high scores to please their parents and teachers.
Personally，I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) think it is wrong to cheat in the exams，for one thing，it goes against the rules of schools; for another，it’ll result in the crisis of one’s honesty.Therefore, we should devote ourselves to study and try to make progress with our own efforts.

1．A.manager B．assistant C．cook D．waitress
答案 D
解析 由下句可知：“我”首先和一位有经验的服务员一起工作了几天。由下文可知作者是一位服务员，而不是厨师，所以排除C。21教育网
2．A.promised B．invited C．allowed D．advised
答案 C
解析 由常识可知：在饭店打工应该按照老板的意图做事情，故选C。
3．A.well B．quickly C．safely D．wrong
答案 A
解析 由上下文信息可知此处强调一切进展顺利，go well进展顺利。此句也是对下文不愉快的事情作铺垫。21世纪教育网版权所有
4．A.left B．given C．brought D．shown
答案 B
解析 本句句意：“我”幸运地被分了几张离厨 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )房不太远的桌子。(was) left被留下；(was) brought被带来；was shown(被)展示，不符合句意要求。
5．A.Therefore B．However C．Otherwise D．Finally
答案 B
解析 由上句中的luckily以及下 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )句I still felt it a little hard to carry the heavy trays(托盘)．可推断出此处是转折关系。 however然而；therefore所以；otherwise否则，要不然。21·世纪*教育网
6．A.kitchen B．street C．restaurant D．table
答案 C
解析 “我”是在一家饭店工作，所以挤 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )满人的地方应该是“饭店”(restaurant)，而不是“厨房”(kitchen)。before I knew it不知不觉地。
7．A.minding B．changing C．taking D．saving
答案 A
解析 由上句可知饭店里人很多，所以“我”在小心翼翼地走着。mind小心，当心。minding every step在句中作方式状语。 21*cnjy*com
8．A.angry B．calm C．sad D．happy
答案 D
解析 从下文对the tray stand的描述可知，当“我”看到the tray stand时，内心是高兴的。
9．A.fixed B．trained C．loaded D．waited
答案 B
解析 本句句意：它看起来与 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“我”训练时所用的那个托盘不一样。I was trained on是定语从句，修饰the one，one替代名词the tray stand。fix固定；安装；修理；load装载。
10．A.slower B．lighter C．quieter D．easier
答案 D
解析 由上句It had nice handles (手柄)可知，此处强调移动方便。
11．A.believe B．agree C．regret D．pretend
答案 A
解析 本句句意：“我”所做的一切工作都 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )很顺利并且开始认为自己天生就是适合干这种工作的人。此处表达“我”对自己的一种主观判断，同时也和最后一句中的not to be too sure of myself相呼应。21*cnjy*com
12．A.letting B．making C．watching D．having
答案 C
解析 由下文信息可知，an old man应该是本饭店的一位客人，所以没有权利“使(让)”我工作。watch观看。
13．A.useful B．familiar C．unusual D．interesting
答案 A
解析 由第二段的描述可知，the tray ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) stand 对“我”是“有用的”(useful)。由上句可了解到，老人和妻子一直在观看着“我”的一举一动。
14．A.rest B．order C．eat D．leave
答案 D
解析 由上下文信息及本句的but可知：老人打算离开。而不是rest(休息)，order(命令)和eat(吃饭)。
15．A.bag B．walker C．tray D．coat
答案 B
解析 由下面一段第四句话I had set ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) my trays on his wife’s orthopedic walker(助步器)可得出答案为B。
16．A.idea B．praise C．message D．need
答案 C

19．A.repeated B．discovered C．corrected D．described
答案 D
解析 本句是一个概括性的句子，描述 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )了“我”在饭店遇到的一件尴尬事。describe描述，描写。correct改正，纠正；discover发现；repeat重复。
20．A.careful B．patient C．honest D．practical
答案 A
解析 由于自己的粗心大意，“我”犯了一个错误，由此“我”意识到以后做事要小心谨慎，不能过于自信。

解析 句意：直到这位同学思考一小时以 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )上我才告诉他答案。主句为一般将来时，时间状语从句谓语动词用现在时(一般现在时，现在完成时)表将来；因题中有for more than an hour且强调动作或状态一直持续，因此选现在完成进行时。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
Reading is t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he key to school success，and like any skill，it takes practice.A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other.A great athlete practices until he can play quickly，correctly，without thinking.Tennis players call that being in the zone.Educators call it automaticity (自动性)．21*cnjy*com
A child learns to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )read by sounding out the letters and get the meanings of the words.With practice，he speaks with fewer and fewer pauses and mistakes，reading by the phrase.With automaticity，he doesn’t have to think about getting the meanings of the words，so he can pay attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as ear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly as first grade.In a recent study of children in an Illinois school，Alan Rossman of Northwestern university found automatic readers in the first grade who were reading almost three times as fast as the other children and scoring twice as high on comprehension tests.At fifth grade，the automatic readers were reading twice as fast as the others，and still outscoring them on correctness，comprehension and vocabulary.
It’s not IQ but the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to automaticity，according to Rossman.Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books，magazines or newspapers will most probably reach automaticity.At home where the average child spends 25 hours a week watching television，it can happen by turning off the set just one night in favor of reading.
You can test your c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hild by giving him a paragraph or two to read aloud－something unfamiliar but suitable to his age.If he reads aloud with expression，with a sense of the meaning of the sentences，he probably is an automatic reader.If he reads hesitatingly (停顿地)，one word at a time without expression or meaning，he needs more practice.
1．The first paragraph tells us ________.
A．what automaticity is B．how accuracy is acquired
C．how a child learns to walk D．how an athlete is trained
答案 A
解析 综合归纳题。由第一段第一句“Readi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng is the key to school success，and like any skill，it takes practice.”及最后一句“Educators call it automaticity.”可知，作者是在告诉我们什么是自主性。
2．An automatic reader ________.
A．sounds out the letters B．concentrates on meaning
C．has a high IQ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) D．pays much attention to the structures of sentences
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。由第二段最后一句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“With automaticity，he doesn’t have to think about getting the meanings of the words，so he can pay attention to the meaning of the text.”可知答案。
3．The Illinois ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) study shows that the automatic reader’s high speed ________.
A．costs him a lot of work B．affects his comprehension21教育名师原创作品
C．leads to his future success D．doesn’t affect his comprehension
答案 D
解析 综合归纳题。由第三段第二、三句知，高速度的阅读并不影响理解。
4．A bright child ________.
A．also needs practice to be an automatic reader
B．always achieves great success in comprehension tests
C．becomes an automatic reader after learning how to read
D．is a born automatic reader
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。由第四段第一句“It’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )not IQ but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to automaticity.”可知，即使是一个聪明的孩子也需要训练，才能成为自主性读者。

(4)She arrived later than usual.
(5)We were dressed up ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) for the party but she was still in her ordinary clothes.
(6)In common with other students，Tom is often late for school.
解析 这几个词都含有“正常的；正规的；普通的”意思。
normal指不超过某种限度、符合某种标准或常规。
common多用于指物，侧重很常见，不稀奇。表示“时常发生，人所共有”。
ordinary用于物，指每天发生，十分平淡无奇；用于人，指无特别之处，很一般。

A．Compared B．To compare C．Comparing D．When compared

答案 C
解析 句意：你根本无法想像他爬上悬崖去搭 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )救身处困境的男孩所遇到的困难。考查短语have difficulty (in) doing sth.，句中the difficulty为定语从句的先行词。

答案 D
解析 句意：研究甚至表明，多玩耍可以形成更加 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )善于推理和学习的大脑。句子主语为studies“研究”，谓语suggest意为“表明”，lead to通向，导致。playing more暗示第二个空格处也用比较级。21*cnjy*com

A．in；from B．of；than C．of；in D．in；than

10．________ that the famous star will get married for the third time.

Ⅴ.阅读理解
A few years ago I had an “aha！” moment regarding handwriting.
I had in my hand a she ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )et of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task.It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting，and then I realized whose it must be.I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year，maybe two，and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point.
It was a very importan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t event in the computerization of life—a sign that the informal，friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails.There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters，and we recognized one another’s handwriting the way we knew voices or faces.
As a child visiting m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y father’s office，I was pleased to recognize，in little notes on the desks of his staff，the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge—except that those notes were signed “dad” instead of “RFW”．
All this has bee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting，a book by Florey.She shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well，but many others argue that people in a digital age can’t be expected to learn to hold a pen.
I don’t buy it.
I don’t want to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )see anyone cut off from the expressive，personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does.For many a biographer，part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting.2-1-c-n-j-y
What some people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th century Italy.That may sound impossibly grand—as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings.However，they have worked in many school systems.

A．He had worked with his colleague long enough.

D．He still had a lot of work to do.
答案 A

2．People working together in an office used to ________.
A．talk more about handwriting B．take more notes on workdays
C．know better one an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )other’s handwriting D．communicate better with one another

4．According to the author，handwritten notes ________.
A．are harder to teach in schools B．attract more attention
C．are used only between friends D．carry more message
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。从第七段“For man ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y a biographer，part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting.”可知：对于一些撰写传记的作家来说，真正了解自己的写作对象，部分要依赖于阅读他们的亲手笔迹。所以我们可以推断笔迹承载了很多的个人信息。21·世纪*教育网
Ⅳ.阅读填空
The traditional Amer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ican school year begins in late August or early September.It ends in May or June，followed by summer vacation.__1__Because long ago，young people had to help their families harvest the summer crops.At least this is what people today may think._2__A recent report from an education policy center at Indiana University explored the historical roots of the traditional school calendar.www-2-1-cnjy-com
In the early da ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ys of the United States，children were not required to attend school.School calendars depended on local needs.__3__They worked on family farms during the other months.City schools were often open much longer，some for eleven months of the year.
After the Civil W ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ar，more and more people saw the need for a system of required education._4__Many city schools wanted a shorter year and a longer summer break.The schools were often crowded.There was no modern air conditioning.Hot days would make it difficult to learn.Many rural educators，however，pushed for a longer school year.They thought it would keep children safe from industrial dangers when there were few child labor laws.
So the traditional ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )school calendar was a compromise(折中)．The average school year used to be one hundred and seventy days.Times have not changed much.__5__But some experts think the traditional school calendar needs to change because the needs of the nation have changed.This thinking has led some schools to keep students in class longer.
A．Why such a long break
B．Today the common average is one hundred and eighty days.
C．Americans think highly of their traditional school calendar.
D．Most schools had similar school calendars.
E．But the reason has more to it.
F．Students in rural ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eas went to school for no more than six months of the year.
G．But they had different ideas for the calendar.
