Having a wide vocabulary is essential(重要的) to make sense of writing. Of course, this is a circular(兜圈子的) 36 , because the more you read, the more vocabulary you learn and the more words you know, the more 37 you can read. Don’t make the mistake of reading 38 your dictionary beside you, 39 every single new or doubtful word. This is 40 and prevents you practicing the skill of 41 .
Sometimes in reading you find a word know but the meaning doesn’t seem to 42 . This is not surprising because words have so many meanings and 43 of meaning. 44 , part of their meaning is 45 by the words around them. 46 looking at the surrounding words and asking yourself “What sort of meaning would make 47 here.”
Of course, at the early stages it is sometimes difficult to find materials beyond the textbook
written at a level you can read 48 , and although easy books for adults are 49 in some
languages. Here is what one student of French found:
P 3
At first I was 50 searching the dictionary to make sense of the written code, but eventually I got to the 51 where I could read a sentence and basically understand it, so then I just started to read a lot, not 52 about certain words if I had 53 the basic meaning. Then the context dictated the meaning of these foreign words and my vocabulary 54 .
His comments support the 55 that knowing words helps your reading and reading helps the growth of your vocabulary.
36. A. viewpoint
B. idea
C. argument
D. discussion
37. A. helplessly
B. difficultly
C. smoothly

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D），选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Most people have heard of Shakespeare and probably know something of the plays he wrote. However, not everybody knows much about the life of this remarkable man, except perhaps that he was born in market town of Stratford-upon-Avon and that he married a woman called Anne Hathaway. We know nothing of his school life. We don’t know, for example, how long it lasted, but we presume(believe) that he attended the local grammar school, where the principal subject taught was Latin.
Nothing certain is known of what he did between the time he left school and his departure for London. According to a local legend(传说)，he was beaten and even put in prison for stealing rabbits and deer from the estate of a neighboring landowner, Sir Thomas Lucy. It is said that because of this he was forced to run away from his native place. A different legend says that he
P 4
was apprenticed (当学徒) to a Stratford butcher, but did not like the life and for this reason decided to leave Stratford.
Whatever caused him to leave the town of his birth, the world can be thankful that he did so. What is certain is that he set his foot on the road to fame when he arrived in London. It is said that at first he was without money or friends there, but that he earned a little by taking care of the horses of the gentlemen who attended the plays at the theatre. In time, as he became a familiar figure to the actors in the theatre, they stopped and spoke to him. They found his conversation so brilliant that finally he was invited to join their company.
56. In the early life of Shakespeare, he _____.
A. attended a public school B. studied Latin
C. lived in London D. was put in prison for stealing
57. Why was he forced to leave his native place according to this passage?
Because he didn’t want to go to school.
Because he left for London to become famous.
No one knows for certain.
Because he had stolen deer and was beaten.
58. What is the reason why the world can be thankful?
A. He liked to travel all over the world. B. He became a good writer.
C. He was an actor. D. He wrote many world-famous plays.
59. The best title of this passage is _____.
A. The Early Life of Shakespeare B. Shakespeare’s life in London
C. Shakespeare’s Role in the Performance D. Shakespeare’s Later Life
B
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, when children learn to do all the other things, for example, to work, and climb, they learn to do them without being taught. They compare those performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes on his own. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he has been made to. Soon he became dependent on the teacher.
Why should we teachers waste time on such work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to the right answer. Let’s throw all such things as exams, marks out and let children themselves learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know.
We should, of course, offer help to them just as they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in the world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Don’t worry! If something is basic, they will go out into the world and learn it.
P 5
60. Why can a child make the necessary changes bit by bit to make his language like other people’s? Because _____.
he realizes he must learn the correct language as directed
his parents and teachers always help him warmly and correctly
he notices many times a day the difference between his and other’s languages
he knows everybody starts with wrong language
61. The author suggests in this passage _____.
we shouldn’t correct a child anytime
a child should be helped when he admits his failure
a teacher gives a child help when he thinks the child needs it
a teacher should help his students to improve their grades
62. What is the real meaning of “a body of knowledge” in the last paragraph?
A. A large amount of knowledge. B. Some knowledge about human health.
C. A body language. D. A lot of knowledge about life science.
63. According to the author, a teacher who _____ is a good teacher.
is always ready to help children as much as he can
helps any child who he thinks is not clever enough
offers children chances to find out his own mistakes
is learned and offers what he knows selflessly

Why are Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Pittsburg, California, spelt differently? Why is it Allegheny in Virginia, Allegany in New York, and Allegheny in Pennsylvania? Why is Arkansas pronounced Arkansaw?
Because the people who lived in each place wanted it that way!
In 1890, President Harrison set up interdepartmental(跨部门的)Board of Geographic Names and gave it the job of deciding on one official form of all geographic names. This was important, especially for map making, so that a certain island in South Carolina, for example, should not appear as Daufuskie on one map and as Dawfuskie on another. In the first year of work, the board passed judgment in 2,000 arguments.
The board agreed on several official rules regarding names; the most important of these was that the “spelling and pronunciation which is permitted by local usgae should, in general, be accepted.” Thus, different ways of spelling the same name have been permitted by the Board of Geographic Names. Similarly the favorite of the citizens of Arkansas to pronounce the name of their state Arkansaw has also been recognized.
The first local spelling may have been the result of carelessness or lack of knowledge, but once the Board of Geographic Names had decided to support the local spelling, that spelling became official.
68. What is this passage mainly about?
The work of the Board of Geographic Names.
The set-up of the Board of Geographic Names.
Different ways of spelling the same place.
Different ways of pronouncing the same place. P 7
69. Why are Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Pittsburg, California, spelt differently?
They have different pronunciations.
The government decides the different spellings.
Thee local citizens are used to spelling that way.
Nobody knows why that is so.
70. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
The Board pf Geographic Names should discuss and make 2,000 decisions every year.
When maps are made, the same place would have one name on one map and a different name on another.
President Harrison was chosen head of the Board of Geographic Names in 1890.
An official spelling of a place by the Board of Geographic Names may be wrong at the start.
71. The sentence “spelling and pronunciation which is permitted by local usage should, in general, be accepted.” Means “_____” most properly.
Once accepted by the Board of Geographic Names, the local spelling and pronunciation become official
The Board of Geographic Names will accept all the spellings and pronunciations by local usage
The Board of Geographic Names would usually permit the spelling and pronunciation used by local people
Different spellings and pronunciations would be taken by the Board of Geographic Names as well as the local people

Does a bee know what is going on in its mind when it navigates(导航) its way to distant food sources and back to the hive, using polarized(两极的) sunlight and the tiny magnet(磁) it carries as a navigational aid? Or is the bee just a machine, unable to do its mathematics and dance its language in any other way? To use Donald Griffin’s words, does a bee have “awareness”, or to use a phrase I like better, can a bee think and imagine?
There is an experiment for this, or at least an observation, made long ago by Karl Von Frisch and more recently confirmed(证实) by James Gould at Princeton. Biologists who wish to study such things as bee navigation, language, and behavior in general have to train their bees to fly from the hive to one or another special place. To do this, they begin by placing a source of sugar very close to the hive so that the bees (considered by their trainers to be very dumb beasts) can learn what the game is about. Then, at regular intervals(间隔), the dish or whatever is moved progressively farther and farther from the hive, increasing about 25 percent at each move. Eventually, the target is being move 100 feet or more at a jump, very far from the hive. Sooner or later, while this process is going on, the biologists shifting the dish of sugar will find the bees are out there waiting for them, precisely where the next position had been planned. This is an uncomfortable observation to make.
72. This passage is mainly concerned with _____.
A. testing the awareness of bees B. navigational technique of bees
C. the bee, a social animal D. the beehive, nature’s candy shop
P 8
73. What is most probably Karl’s job?
A bee keeper. B. A biologist studying worms. C. A bee observer. D. A bee trainer
74. Sugar was used in the study to _____.
feed the bees during the experiment B. train the bees to travel to particular place
C. reward the bees for good performance D. make the bees live in groups
75. It can be concluded from this passage that _____.
bees are unable to navigate 100 feet beyond their hive
bees are not likely to sting(叮) the scientists in the experiment
experimenting on bees is too dangerous to be successful
bees are able to perform limited reasoning tasks

Sudden tsunami struck several southern Asian countries on Dec. 26 when people were still celebrating their Christmas holidays last year. Huge waves swallowed up villages and towns near the seaside, destroying almost everything in sight. Houses, cars, trees and even human beings were all washed away and disappeared in a flash. The total number of deaths reached as many as 230,000.
Immediate aids came from all over the world to the survivors soon after the disaster. Millions of people offered to help by donations. It’s sad to see human beings feel helpless and homeless at the mercy of the disaster. It also touches the heart to see people care for each other. I believe we can become stronger and stronger by sharing our worries. We people on the earth are war-blooded after all.

Having a wide vocabulary is essential(重要的) to make sense of writing. Of course, this is a circular(兜圈子的) 36 , because the more you read, the more vocabulary you learn and the more words you know, the more 37 you can read. Don’t make the mistake of reading 38 your dictionary beside you, 39 every single new or doubtful word. This is 40 and prevents you practicing the skill of 41 .
Sometimes in reading you find a word know but the meaning doesn’t seem to 42 . This is not surprising because words have so many meanings and 43 of meaning. 44 , part of their meaning is 45 by the words around them. 46 looking at the surrounding words and asking yourself “What sort of meaning would make 47 here.”
Of course, at the early stages it is sometimes difficult to find materials beyond the textbook
written at a level you can read 48 , and although easy books for adults are 49 in some
languages. Here is what one student of French found:
P 3
At first I was 50 searching the dictionary to make sense of the written code, but eventually I got to the 51 where I could read a sentence and basically understand it, so then I just started to read a lot, not 52 about certain words if I had 53 the basic meaning. Then the context dictated the meaning of these foreign words and my vocabulary 54 .
His comments support the 55 that knowing words helps your reading and reading helps the growth of your vocabulary.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D），选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Most people have heard of Shakespeare and probably know something of the plays he wrote. However, not everybody knows much about the life of this remarkable man, except perhaps that he was born in market town of Stratford-upon-Avon and that he married a woman called Anne Hathaway. We know nothing of his school life. We don’t know, for example, how long it lasted, but we presume(believe) that he attended the local grammar school, where the principal subject taught was Latin.
Nothing certain is known of what he did between the time he left school and his departure for London. According to a local legend(传说)，he was beaten and even put in prison for stealing rabbits and deer from the estate of a neighboring landowner, Sir Thomas Lucy. It is said that because of this he was forced to run away from his native place. A different legend says that he
P 4
was apprenticed (当学徒) to a Stratford butcher, but did not like the life and for this reason decided to leave Stratford.
Whatever caused him to leave the town of his birth, the world can be thankful that he did so. What is certain is that he set his foot on the road to fame when he arrived in London. It is said that at first he was without money or friends there, but that he earned a little by taking care of the horses of the gentlemen who attended the plays at the theatre. In time, as he became a familiar figure to the actors in the theatre, they stopped and spoke to him. They found his conversation so brilliant that finally he was invited to join their company.
56. In the early life of Shakespeare, he _____.
A. attended a public school B. studied Latin
C. lived in London D. was put in prison for stealing
57. Why was he forced to leave his native place according to this passage?
Because he didn’t want to go to school.
Because he left for London to become famous.
No one knows for certain.
Because he had stolen deer and was beaten.
58. What is the reason why the world can be thankful?
A. He liked to travel all over the world. B. He became a good writer.
C. He was an actor. D. He wrote many world-famous plays.
59. The best title of this passage is _____.
A. The Early Life of Shakespeare B. Shakespeare’s life in London
C. Shakespeare’s Role in the Performance D. Shakespeare’s Later Life
B
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, when children learn to do all the other things, for example, to work, and climb, they learn to do them without being taught. They compare those performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes on his own. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he has been made to. Soon he became dependent on the teacher.
Why should we teachers waste time on such work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to the right answer. Let’s throw all such things as exams, marks out and let children themselves learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know.
We should, of course, offer help to them just as they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in the world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Don’t worry! If something is basic, they will go out into the world and learn it.
P 5
60. Why can a child make the necessary changes bit by bit to make his language like other people’s? Because _____.
he realizes he must learn the correct language as directed
his parents and teachers always help him warmly and correctly
he notices many times a day the difference between his and other’s languages
he knows everybody starts with wrong language
61. The author suggests in this passage _____.
we shouldn’t correct a child anytime
a child should be helped when he admits his failure
a teacher gives a child help when he thinks the child needs it
a teacher should help his students to improve their grades
62. What is the real meaning of “a body of knowledge” in the last paragraph?
A. A large amount of knowledge. B. Some knowledge about human health.
C. A body language. D. A lot of knowledge about life science.
63. According to the author, a teacher who _____ is a good teacher.
is always ready to help children as much as he can
helps any child who he thinks is not clever enough
offers children chances to find out his own mistakes
is learned and offers what he knows selflessly

Why are Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Pittsburg, California, spelt differently? Why is it Allegheny in Virginia, Allegany in New York, and Allegheny in Pennsylvania? Why is Arkansas pronounced Arkansaw?
Because the people who lived in each place wanted it that way!
In 1890, President Harrison set up interdepartmental(跨部门的)Board of Geographic Names and gave it the job of deciding on one official form of all geographic names. This was important, especially for map making, so that a certain island in South Carolina, for example, should not appear as Daufuskie on one map and as Dawfuskie on another. In the first year of work, the board passed judgment in 2,000 arguments.
The board agreed on several official rules regarding names; the most important of these was that the “spelling and pronunciation which is permitted by local usgae should, in general, be accepted.” Thus, different ways of spelling the same name have been permitted by the Board of Geographic Names. Similarly the favorite of the citizens of Arkansas to pronounce the name of their state Arkansaw has also been recognized.
The first local spelling may have been the result of carelessness or lack of knowledge, but once the Board of Geographic Names had decided to support the local spelling, that spelling became official.
68. What is this passage mainly about?
The work of the Board of Geographic Names.
The set-up of the Board of Geographic Names.
Different ways of spelling the same place.
Different ways of pronouncing the same place. P 7
69. Why are Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Pittsburg, California, spelt differently?
They have different pronunciations.
The government decides the different spellings.
Thee local citizens are used to spelling that way.
Nobody knows why that is so.
70. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
The Board pf Geographic Names should discuss and make 2,000 decisions every year.
When maps are made, the same place would have one name on one map and a different name on another.
President Harrison was chosen head of the Board of Geographic Names in 1890.
An official spelling of a place by the Board of Geographic Names may be wrong at the start.
71. The sentence “spelling and pronunciation which is permitted by local usage should, in general, be accepted.” Means “_____” most properly.
Once accepted by the Board of Geographic Names, the local spelling and pronunciation become official
The Board of Geographic Names will accept all the spellings and pronunciations by local usage
The Board of Geographic Names would usually permit the spelling and pronunciation used by local people
Different spellings and pronunciations would be taken by the Board of Geographic Names as well as the local people

Does a bee know what is going on in its mind when it navigates(导航) its way to distant food sources and back to the hive, using polarized(两极的) sunlight and the tiny magnet(磁) it carries as a navigational aid? Or is the bee just a machine, unable to do its mathematics and dance its language in any other way? To use Donald Griffin’s words, does a bee have “awareness”, or to use a phrase I like better, can a bee think and imagine?
There is an experiment for this, or at least an observation, made long ago by Karl Von Frisch and more recently confirmed(证实) by James Gould at Princeton. Biologists who wish to study such things as bee navigation, language, and behavior in general have to train their bees to fly from the hive to one or another special place. To do this, they begin by placing a source of sugar very close to the hive so that the bees (considered by their trainers to be very dumb beasts) can learn what the game is about. Then, at regular intervals(间隔), the dish or whatever is moved progressively farther and farther from the hive, increasing about 25 percent at each move. Eventually, the target is being move 100 feet or more at a jump, very far from the hive. Sooner or later, while this process is going on, the biologists shifting the dish of sugar will find the bees are out there waiting for them, precisely where the next position had been planned. This is an uncomfortable observation to make.
72. This passage is mainly concerned with _____.
A. testing the awareness of bees B. navigational technique of bees
C. the bee, a social animal D. the beehive, nature’s candy shop
P 8
73. What is most probably Karl’s job?
A bee keeper. B. A biologist studying worms. C. A bee observer. D. A bee trainer
74. Sugar was used in the study to _____.
feed the bees during the experiment B. train the bees to travel to particular place
C. reward the bees for good performance D. make the bees live in groups
75. It can be concluded from this passage that _____.
bees are unable to navigate 100 feet beyond their hive
bees are not likely to sting(叮) the scientists in the experiment
experimenting on bees is too dangerous to be successful
bees are able to perform limited reasoning tasks

Sudden tsunami struck several southern Asian countries on Dec. 26 when people were still celebrating their Christmas holidays last year. Huge waves swallowed up villages and towns near the seaside, destroying almost everything in sight. Houses, cars, trees and even human beings were all washed away and disappeared in a flash. The total number of deaths reached as many as 230,000.
Immediate aids came from all over the world to the survivors soon after the disaster. Millions of people offered to help by donations. It’s sad to see human beings feel helpless and homeless at the mercy of the disaster. It also touches the heart to see people care for each other. I believe we can become stronger and stronger by sharing our worries. We people on the earth are war-blooded after all.
