I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with
books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was
extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded.
I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the
newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom
and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend
to be reading.
This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It
seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many
doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in
reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more
slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.
Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to
make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading.
I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.
Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find
myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and
mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write
down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.
We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my
life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are
limitless.
36. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands
A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.
B. She was anxious to know what had happened.
C. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart.
D. She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading.
37. According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs indicates ________.
A. her unique way to locate herself
B. her eagerness to develop her reading ability
C. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules
D. her growing desire to know the world around her
38. What was the author’s view on factual reading
A. It would help her update test-taking skills.
B. It would allow much room for free thinking.
C. It would provide true and objective information.
D. It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life.
39. The author takes novel reading as a way to ________.
A. explore a fantasy land
B. develop a passion for learning
C. learn about the adult community
D. get away from a confusing world
40. What could be the best title for the passage
A. The Magic of Reading
B. The Pleasure of Reading
C. Growing Up with Reading
D. Reading Makes a Full Man
【答案】36. B 37. D 38. C 39. D 40. C
C
Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in
the world It’s an increasingly urgent question, given the recent mining accidents in Sago. W. Va. and Huntington,
Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when
robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.
Robotic technology, in particular, holds much promise, McAteer says, especially when it comes to mapping mines
and rescuing trapped miners — the special operations of the mining industry.
One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Canegie-Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It
was called Groundhog. It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines – some of the most
dangerous work in the business
The latest design is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Grondhog, and even more advanced. It can take
photos and video and has more sensors that can discover the presence of dangerous gases. The robot has a real
sense of logic, which is hard to believe. If it comes across a thing in the way it gets confused. It has to think
through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a bit just like a real person.
The greatest problem, though, is cost. The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government,
but that money has dried up, and it’s not clear where future money will come from. Partly for that reason, and
partly because of advances in safely, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990,fatalities
(致命性) have declined by 67 percent and injuries by 51 percent, according to the National Mining Association.
Some experts predict that robots in the mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive
industry. The robot do the most boring and dangerous jobs, but don’t eliminate the need for human workers.
41. The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because_____.
A. it’s a bit smaller
B. it can map abandoned mines
C. it can see in the dark tunnel
D. it has a real sense of logic
42. The underlined phrase “throws a bit” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____.
A. gets angry B. gets sick
C. becomes hungry D. becomes cheerful
43. We can infer from the last paragraph that _____.
A. robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry
B. there will be no need for human workers in mines
C. the mine robots will have a very bright future
D. robots in mines only do some simple jobs now
44. We can learn from the text that _____.
A. a mining robots can help miners have an operation
B. Groundhog can discover the presence of dangerous gases
C. experts are trying to make robots help miners with dangerous work
D. robots have helped improve the safety of mining
45. What can be the best title for the text
A. Mining Accidents in America
B. Robots in Mines
C. Cave Crawler, the Latest Robot
D. The Future of Robots
【答案】41. D 42. A 43. C 44. C 45. B

【答案】One possible version:
Dear students,
From the recent survey, we have found that less than 3 percent of students in our school are interested in
reading English articles.
In fact, reading English articles is good for us. Firstly, by reading English articles, we can learn many useful
words and expressions, which is beneficial to our English study. Secondly, reading English articles enriches our
knowledge about the world. Thirdly, we can gain practical experience and generate new ideas which help better our
lives. So it’s time to take action and develop good reading habits. To start with, create a reading list of books you’re
interested in and update it now and then. Besides, you had better take notes while reading.
In brief, reading English articles benefits us a lot and we should read more English articles.

I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with
books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was
extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded.
I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the
newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom
and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend
to be reading.
This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It
seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many
doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in
reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more
slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.
Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to
make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading.
I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.
Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find
myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and
mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write
down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.
We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my
life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are
limitless.

A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.
B. She was anxious to know what had happened.
C. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart.

A. her unique way to locate herself
B. her eagerness to develop her reading ability
C. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules
D. her growing desire to know the world around her

A. It would help her update test-taking skills.
B. It would allow much room for free thinking.
C. It would provide true and objective information.
D. It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life.

C. learn about the adult community
D. get away from a confusing world

Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in
the world It’s an increasingly urgent question, given the recent mining accidents in Sago. W. Va. and Huntington,
Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when
robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.
Robotic technology, in particular, holds much promise, McAteer says, especially when it comes to mapping mines
and rescuing trapped miners — the special operations of the mining industry.
One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Canegie-Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It
was called Groundhog. It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines – some of the most
dangerous work in the business
The latest design is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Grondhog, and even more advanced. It can take
photos and video and has more sensors that can discover the presence of dangerous gases. The robot has a real
sense of logic, which is hard to believe. If it comes across a thing in the way it gets confused. It has to think
through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a bit just like a real person.
The greatest problem, though, is cost. The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government,
but that money has dried up, and it’s not clear where future money will come from. Partly for that reason, and
partly because of advances in safely, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990,fatalities
(致命性) have declined by 67 percent and injuries by 51 percent, according to the National Mining Association.
Some experts predict that robots in the mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive
industry. The robot do the most boring and dangerous jobs, but don’t eliminate the need for human workers.
41. The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because_____.
A. it’s a bit smaller
B. it can map abandoned mines
C. it can see in the dark tunnel
D. it has a real sense of logic
42. The underlined phrase “throws a bit” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____.
A. gets angry B. gets sick
C. becomes hungry D. becomes cheerful
43. We can infer from the last paragraph that _____.
A. robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry
B. there will be no need for human workers in mines
C. the mine robots will have a very bright future
D. robots in mines only do some simple jobs now
44. We can learn from the text that _____.
A. a mining robots can help miners have an operation
B. Groundhog can discover the presence of dangerous gases
C. experts are trying to make robots help miners with dangerous work
D. robots have helped improve the safety of mining
45. What can be the best title for the text
A. Mining Accidents in America
B. Robots in Mines
C. Cave Crawler, the Latest Robot
D. The Future of Robots
