三、阅读理解。
Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practising until he or she no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other.An excellent player practises until he or she can play quickly and correctly without thinking. Educators call it "automaticity (自动性)".
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With,
practice. he or she stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase. With automaticity. he or she doesn't have to think about the meaning of the words. so he or she can give all his or her attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as the first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools,Alan
Rossman of North-western University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read
almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount(数量) of rime a child spends reading, not his or her IQ. Any child .who spends at least 3.5 to4 hours a week reading books,n.magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new that is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression,with a sense of the meaning of the sentences. you are probably an automatic reader. If you read brokenly,one word at a time. without expression or meaning, you need more practice.
( )l. The underlined part "Rending is the key to school success" in Paragraph l means
" "in English.
A. Reading helps school develop faster
B. Reading is a key to a successful school
C. Reading helps students go to a key school
D. Reading can improve students ' learning results
( )2.Children with automaticity can read faster because they .
A. know how to read the words
B. do not have to think while reading
C. read by themselves without any help
D. pay attention to the meaning of the text
( )3.The underlined word"stumbles"in Paragraph 2 means" "in Chinese.
A.结结巴巴地读 B.全神贯注地读
C.心不在焉地读 D.声情并茂地读
( )4. What's the best title of the passage?
A. IQ is the key to automaticity.
B. TV is bad for children's reading.
C. Automaticity depends on practice.
D. Automatic readers will be successful.

Experts in nutrition(营养) suggest that we should eat at least five different kinds of vegetables and fruit a day. They are very necessary for our health and help our bodies work well. They can help reduce the risk of getting ill. There are a lot of vegetables and fruit to choose from and they taste delicious.

It's easy to buy our food from the local supermarket, so why do we go to the trouble of growing our own? Here are several good reasons.
2 We can pick and eat it at once. When we have tried it. we will agree that vegetables and fruit that are eaten straight from the garden taste better than anything we can buy in a supermarket.
We may want to cur down on our "food miles" --the distance that a product has travelled before it reaches our kitchen. Many food packages are flown halfway across the Earth. 3
Home-grown food is likely to be healthier. Food producers often use fertilizers(肥料) and pesticides(杀虫剂) which can end up in our food. If we grow our own. things are different. 4 We might also choose to grow some traditional vegetables and fruit. These often have more vitamins. minerals(矿物质)and protein(蛋白质) that keep us healthy.
5 And we can grow our own even if we only have a small backyard or a balcony. Some food can grow well in pots, including lettuce. tomatoes. potatoes and carrots. We can recycle plastic bottles and cups to grow something. Just make sure there are holes for drainage(排水) and a small plate under then to catch drops of water.
Happy gardening!
A. Best of all. we can grow our own!
B. But where to grow our own is a problem.
C. Thai's not so good for us or for the planet.
D. Food that we grow by ourselves is always fresh.
E. If we have a large garden ,growing our own is easy.
F. We can control what goes on and into the food we eat.
G. So it's better to eat more vegetables and fruit in our daily lives.

七、阅读表达。
请认真阅读下面短文,用英语回答短文后的问题,并将答案写在横线上。
I'm Michael Crook.I was born in China but grew up in the UK. China has changed a lot of the
years I like excitement and I think China is the place to come for excitement.So I have come back.
I think the Chinese notion(观念)of education is very different from the Western notion of
education. In Western tradition.,we have "the carrot and the stick".I think in Chinese tradition,a lot of stress(强调)is made on the stick. Well,I feel that the carrot is much more effective(有效的)than the stick.
My parents are not strict(严厉的)ones. I think they are both good educators. They don't use the stick. They would discuss things with us reasonably. They treat us more or less as equals(相同的人).My father used to say that he didn't believe generation gap(代沟)There is no such thing that parents don't understand their children or children don't understand their parents. Why? If you don't talk with your children, if every time your children tell you something they truly believe and their truthful thoughts. you scold(责备)them at once. then of course they stop talking to you and won't tell you the truth.
Why has the writer come back to China?
What is the second paragraph mainly about?
Do you think parents should use the stick? Why or why not?
