10、at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life. Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling. The author, W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing. In his opinion, reading doesnt just mean recognizing each

11、 word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of him. The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. Reading and writing cannot

12、be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text. Ive seen it again and again ：Someone who cant express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasnt read it at all. Only a third of the book remai

13、ns after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion regarding history to his students, that

14、 was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across. To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although its commonly believed

15、 that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics. My other comment is that the text aged. The first edition apparently dates to the 1960snone of the references seem newer than the late 1950s. As a result, the discussion

16、 misses the entire computer age. These are small points, though, and dont affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.21. According to Armstrong, what is the goal of reading? A. gain knowledge and expand ones view B. express ideas base

17、d on what one has read C. understand the meaning between the lines D. gets information and keeps it alive in memory 22. The author of the passage insists that learning the arts_. A. is as natural as learning a language B. demands real passion C. is less natural than learning maths D. requires great

18、efforts23. What can this passage be classified as? A. an advertisement B. a book review C. a feature story D. a news reportBYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off . You can make your

19、environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan. Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when theyre in poorly lit places-and s

20、o more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesnt have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness. Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow o

21、r red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when its time to repaint, go blue.Dont forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里） per meal than those who rush through their mea

22、ls. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while youre at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes, Big serving bowls and plates can eas

23、ily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake（摄入） jumps by 14 percent. And well pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.24.The text is esp

24、ecially helpful for those who care about_.A. their home comforts B. their body shapeC. house buying D. healthy diets25.A home environment in blue can help people_.A.digest food better B.reduce food intake C.burn more calories D.regain their appetites26.What are people advised to do at mealtimesA.Eat

25、 quickly. B.Play fast music.C.Use smaller spoons. D.Turn down the lights.27.What can be a suitable title for the text ?A.Is Your House Making You Fat ? B.Ways of Serving DinnerC.Effects of Self-Consciousness D.Is Your Home Environment Relax?CWhenever the word “hero” comes to me, I immediately think

26、of three Hs: honorable, hardworking, and happy. When I think more about this word, I picture someone who has accomplished good things for people and tries to do the right thing. Hattie Elizabeth Alexander is one person whom I find to be very heroic.Hattie was born in Baltimore, Maryland on April 5,

27、1901. During her time at College she earned her Bachelors Degree in Bacteriology and Physiology. These were just the first steps towards what she was finally going to be remembered for. After college, Hattie attended Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and received her medical degree.After her educatio

28、n, she pursued her career, and after much time and hard work, she drastically reduced the number of infants(幼儿)dying from meningitis(脑膜炎). Hattie was very dedicated to her work and helped at as many locations as she could. Spending substantial（大量的）time in the laboratory, Hattie successfully develope

29、d a cure against the disease, which decreased the death rate to 20 percent. At the same time, she was also a teacher working with Columbia University. She was a caring lady interested in other peoples lives. When she was teaching at Columbia University, other members would talk to her about students

30、 that were failing their classes, and somehow Hattie could always find convincing reasons as to why they should not be driven away. Later, Hattie became an instructor in Pediatrics at New York Citys Babies Hospital. After many honors, she became the first woman president of the American Pediatric So

31、ciety in 1965. This was her last major achievement, for soon after, Hattie died of cancer on June 24, 1968.Hattie is my hero because her positive attitude and strength helped her accomplish great things for others. She gave them her strength by developing medicines against diseases, which, by doing

32、so, made them stronger. This is what makes Hattie Elizabeth Alexander my hero.28. According to the passage, Hattie Elizabeth Alexander_. A. received her Bachelors Degree in Johns Hopkins School. B. spent all her time in the laboratory developing cures for illnesses C. cared a lot about others privat

33、e lives D. always tried her best to help prevent students from dropping out of college29. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. slightly B. hardly C. greatly D. totally30. Hattie is considered to be a hero by the author in that_ A. she was an honorable, hardworking and happy

34、 person B. she was a very dedicated woman doctor with many honors C. she was a caring lady who helped many students finish college D. she was the first woman President of APS31. Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text? A. An Honorable Woman B. A Woman Accomplishing Great T

35、hings C. My HeroHattie Elizabeth Alexander D. The First Woman President of the APSDBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better a

36、dvice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive(主管的) circle, beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered as havi

37、ng more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were tho

38、ught to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes. Why are attractive women n

39、ot thought to be able? An attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the “manly” qualities required. This is true even in politics, “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, ” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the ef

40、fects of attractiveness on political candidates She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the

41、 order they would vote for them.

It was farmer Robinsons son who did this!”Stephen asked him why young Robinson had ruined it. “I was walking and kicking my ball.” Philip replied, “By accident, when I was opposite the gate, my ball bumped over a bucket of water left in the pathway by him.”“He came up and began to yell at me.

67、 I assured him that what I had done was an accident, and that I was terribly sorry for it. I also offered to fetch another bucket of water for him. But despite all I had said, he took a nail out of his pocket and twisted it into the ball, as you see. I will make him pay for this.”“Honestly speaking,
