A
There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have ever taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities (复杂性) of spelling.
If spelling becomes the only focal (焦点的) point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is terrible.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation (动机) to seek improvement.
46. Teachers are different in their opinions about _________.
A .the difficulties in teaching spelling
B. the role of spelling in general language development
C. the complexities of the basic writing skills
D. the necessity of teaching spelling
47. The underlined expression “play safe” probably means ________.
A. to write carefully B. to do as teachers say
C. to use dictionaries frequently D. to avoid using words one is not sure of
48. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ____________.
A. students will be able to express their ideas more freely
B. students will have more confidence in writing
C. students will have less trouble in correcting mistakes
D. students will learn to be independent of teachers
49. The author seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is __________.
A. unfair B. reasonable C. foolish D. careless
50. The major point discussed in the passage is ___________.
A. the importance of developing writing skills
B. the complexties of spelling
C. the correct way of marking compositions
D. the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition
B
WHO FOUNDED READER’S DIGEST AND WHEN
As De Witt Wallace lay in bed recovering from injuries that he unfortunately came by in World War I, he found there was a wealth of interesting information to read. Realising few people would have the time to get through all this information, he knew exactly what to do. In 1920, this young American submitted a sample magazine containing shortened articles to publishers across America. All turned him down.
Undeterred, De Witt and his new bride Lila Bell Acheson published the first issue of Reader’s Digest in February 1922.Working from home, the Wallaces printed 5,000 copies, which were sold by mail to 1,500 people and priced at 25 cents. From these humble beginnings grew the world’s most widely read magazine.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
The magazine became popular and, by 1935, sales topped one million. In 1938, the first international edition was published in the United Kingdom. During World War II, editions were published for the first time in Latin America and Sweden. After the war Reader’s Digest moved into Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, South Africa and Switzerland. In 1950, Reader’s Digest published its shortened Books (now known as Select Editions in Australia). In 1959,music, the first non-print product line, was introduced. In 1962, Reader’s Digest revolutionized direct mail by introducing easy-to-enter Sweepstakes and a year later the first Reader’s Digest general book was published. In 1986, video was added to the Reader’s Digest product line up.
AND WHAT ABOUT NOW
In 1973, the Wallaces gave up active management of Reader’s Digest. De Witt died in 1981 aged 91; Lila in 1984 aged 94. With no heirs to the Wallace empire to take control, Reader’s Digest became a public company in the early 1990s and is now headed by a Chief Executive Office and Chairman of the Board.
51. What is the purpose of De Witt Wallace creating the earliest magazine
A. To offer people information. B. To become wealthy.
C. To make known the harm of wars. D. To turn down uninteresting stories.
52. When did De Will make his first trial of the magazine
A. Before World War I . B. In 1920. C. In 1922. D. In 1935.
53. What does the underlined word “humble” mean
A. Noble B. Well-off C. Simple D. Splendid.
54. Which of the following is the right order for the history of Reader’s Digest
a. The Select Edition came out.
b. The Wallaces retired from the management of Reader’s Digest.
c. The magazine sold over million copies.
d. The product line was improved by mans of videos.
e. Editions in other languages were published.
A. c, e, a, b, d B. e, a, c, b, d C. c, e, a, d, b D. a, c, e, d, b
55. Which of the following is not right according to the passage
A. Lila lived a longer life than De Witt.
B. Lila and De Witt were born in the same year.
C. Reader’s Digest was first private-owned and later public-owned.
D. Reader’s Digest has always been headed by a Chief Executive Office ad Chairman of the Board.
C
Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks--- we are not born with them.
A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around--- family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the US looks much alike.
New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that can not be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us.
This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the US, for example, the south is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York States still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people in Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.
56. Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ___________.
A. has little to do with culture B. has much to do much culture
C. is ever changing D. is different from place to place
57.According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formed _________.
A. before birth B. as soon as one’s teeth are newly set
C. some time after new teeth are set D. around 15 years old
58. Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the US a person is from by _______.
A. how much he or she smiles B. how he or she raise his or her eyebrows
C. what he or she likes best D. the way he or she talks
59. People who live _________ are more friendly.
A. in largely populated areas B. in New York City
C. in the country D. in the North
60. This passage might be taken out of a book dealing with _________.
A. physics B. chemistry C. biology D. none of the above

Transportation has been developing rapidly in recent years, especially in large cities. However, it must be admitted that, along with the benefits of the rapid development of urban traffic, there have come certain problems. One of the biggest problems is traffic jams in some heavily-populated cities. It has become common to see passengers and drivers having to wait in long lines and buses and cars moving at a snail’s pace on the streets during the rush hours.
There are several reasons for this problem. First, the number of vehicles is increasing much more rapidly than the building of roads. No sooner has a new road been completed and opened public traffic than it is crowded with all kinds of vehicles. Second, there seem to be too many private cars and not enough public buses. In most cases, a car carries only one or two people, while it occupies almost half the space a bus does. Third, many people, including drivers, pedestrians and cyclists do not obey traffic rules properly, especially at busy hours. And this undoubtedly worsens the already serious situation.

English conversation class
In order to improve the students’ ability to listen to and speak English, an English conversation class will be held during the summer holidays, from July 27th to August 5th, in Room 221, Classroom Building.
Look Ahead will be the textbook for the class and the Blacks from America will come and have talks with the class twice a week. It is a good chance to practice listening and speaking. Everyone is welcome to the class. Those who would like to attend it can go to the teachers’ office and sign your names there.
任务型写作：
With the development of transportation both in large cities and in rural areas, traffic jams happen frequently in large cities. Passengers and drivers are often seen waiting in long lines and buses and cars moving as slowly as a snail during the rush hour.
Obviously the problem has been caused due to several reasons: the increasing number of vehicles, too many private cars, and not enough public buses. Also a car with only one or two people takes too much space of the road. And many people including drivers, pedestrians and cyclists have no sense of traffic rules.
Among all the reasons mentioned above, in my opinion, the main reason is that the number of more and more people owning their private cars is out of control. My neighbour, for example, owns three cars altogether. I have never seen a car with more than two people at a time when they drive.
So effective measures must be taken before things get worst. The number of private cars in cities must be limited while the number of public buses should be increased. At the same time, strict traffic rules must be issued to strengthen traffic control. I believe it will not be long before the problem can be well solved with these efforts.

There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is terrible.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation (动机) to seek improvement.
46. Teachers are different in their opinions about _________.
A .the difficulties in teaching spelling

47. The underlined expression “play safe” probably means ________.
A. to write carefully B. to do as teachers say
C. to use dictionaries frequently D. to avoid using words one is not sure of
48. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ____________.
A. students will be able to express their ideas more freely
B. students will have more confidence in writing
C. students will have less trouble in correcting mistakes
D. students will learn to be independent of teachers
49. The author seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is __________.
A. unfair B. reasonable C. foolish D. careless
50. The major point discussed in the passage is ___________.
A. the importance of developing writing skills
B. the complexties of spelling
C. the correct way of marking compositions
D. the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition

WHO FOUNDED READER’S DIGEST AND WHEN
As De Witt Wallace lay in bed recovering from injuries that he unfortunately came by in World War I, he found there was a wealth of interesting information to read. Realising few people would have the time to get through all this information, he knew exactly what to do. In 1920, this young American submitted a sample magazine containing shortened articles to publishers across America. All turned him down.
Undeterred, De Witt and his new bride Lila Bell Acheson published the first issue of Reader’s Digest in February 1922.Working from home, the Wallaces printed 5,000 copies, which were sold by mail to 1,500 people and priced at 25 cents. From these humble beginnings grew the world’s most widely read magazine.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
The magazine became popular and, by 1935, sales topped one million. In 1938, the first international edition was published in the United Kingdom. During World War II, editions were published for the first time in Latin America and Sweden. After the war Reader’s Digest moved into Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, South Africa and Switzerland. In 1950, Reader’s Digest published its shortened Books (now known as Select Editions in Australia). In 1959,music, the first non-print product line, was introduced. In 1962, Reader’s Digest revolutionized direct mail by introducing easy-to-enter Sweepstakes and a year later the first Reader’s Digest general book was published. In 1986, video was added to the Reader’s Digest product line up.
AND WHAT ABOUT NOW
In 1973, the Wallaces gave up active management of Reader’s Digest. De Witt died in 1981 aged 91; Lila in 1984 aged 94. With no heirs to the Wallace empire to take control, Reader’s Digest became a public company in the early 1990s and is now headed by a Chief Executive Office and Chairman of the Board.
51. What is the purpose of De Witt Wallace creating the earliest magazine
A. To offer people information. B. To become wealthy.
C. To make known the harm of wars. D. To turn down uninteresting stories.
52. When did De Will make his first trial of the magazine
A. Before World War I . B. In 1920. C. In 1922. D. In 1935.
53. What does the underlined word “humble” mean
A. Noble B. Well-off C. Simple D. Splendid.
54. Which of the following is the right order for the history of Reader’s Digest
a. The Select Edition came out.
b. The Wallaces retired from the management of Reader’s Digest.
c. The magazine sold over million copies.
d. The product line was improved by mans of videos.
e. Editions in other languages were published.
A. c, e, a, b, d B. e, a, c, b, d C. c, e, a, d, b D. a, c, e, d, b
55. Which of the following is not right according to the passage
A. Lila lived a longer life than De Witt.
B. Lila and De Witt were born in the same year.
C. Reader’s Digest was first private-owned and later public-owned.

C
Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks--- we are not born with them.
A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around--- family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the US looks much alike.
New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that can not be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us.
This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the US, for example, the south is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York States still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people in Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.
56. Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ___________.
A. has little to do with culture B. has much to do much culture
C. is ever changing D. is different from place to place
57.According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formed _________.
A. before birth B. as soon as one’s teeth are newly set
C. some time after new teeth are set D. around 15 years old
58. Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the US a person is from by _______.
A. how much he or she smiles B. how he or she raise his or her eyebrows
C. what he or she likes best D. the way he or she talks
59. People who live _________ are more friendly.
A. in largely populated areas B. in New York City
C. in the country D. in the North
60. This passage might be taken out of a book dealing with _________.
A. physics B. chemistry C. biology D. none of the above

Transportation has been developing rapidly in recent years, especially in large cities. However, it must be admitted that, along with the benefits of the rapid development of urban traffic, there have come certain problems. One of the biggest problems is traffic jams in some heavily-populated cities. It has become common to see passengers and drivers having to wait in long lines and buses and cars moving at a snail’s pace on the streets during the rush hours.
There are several reasons for this problem. First, the number of vehicles is increasing much more rapidly than the building of roads. No sooner has a new road been completed and opened public traffic than it is crowded with all kinds of vehicles. Second, there seem to be too many private cars and not enough public buses. In most cases, a car carries only one or two people, while it occupies almost half the space a bus does. Third, many people, including drivers, pedestrians and cyclists do not obey traffic rules properly, especially at busy hours. And this undoubtedly worsens the already serious situation.

任务型写作：
With the development of transportation both in large cities and in rural areas, traffic jams happen frequently in large cities. Passengers and drivers are often seen waiting in long lines and buses and cars moving as slowly as a snail during the rush hour.
Obviously the problem has been caused due to several reasons: the increasing number of vehicles, too many private cars, and not enough public buses. Also a car with only one or two people takes too much space of the road. And many people including drivers, pedestrians and cyclists have no sense of traffic rules.
Among all the reasons mentioned above, in my opinion, the main reason is that the number of more and more people owning their private cars is out of control. My neighbour, for example, owns three cars altogether. I have never seen a car with more than two people at a time when they drive.
So effective measures must be taken before things get worst. The number of private cars in cities must be limited while the number of public buses should be increased. At the same time, strict traffic rules must be issued to strengthen traffic control. I believe it will not be long before the problem can be well solved with these efforts.
