A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and his 12-year-old daughter in downtown San Francisco. A street musician, whom my friend happened to know from his own musician day, was playing the saxophone on a street comer. His name was Clifford, and he had attracted a large crowd with his performance. After he finished, my friend introduced him to me and his daughter. Clifford asked her if she played any instrument. When she replied that she was taking trumpet(小号) lessons and played in her junior high school band(乐队), he said, "That's fine, little lady. Learn your instrument well and you can play anything."
Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as proper not only for a trumpet player but also for a reader. If you learn to read well, you can read anything you want---not just newspapers and magazines, but more difficult material like philosophy, film criticism ,military history---whatever interests you as your confidence grows. You would not be limited(限制）in any way. If you have the vocabulary-or at least a good dictionary near at hand--you can pick up a book, concentrate on it, and made sense of the author's words.
In the United States, reading instruction often ends at elementary school, so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school. They must take their assignments, armed only with their elementary school reading skills. The result, too often, is frustration and loss of confidante. And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school. Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish(完成) several tasks: to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension, to help you cope with reading assignment with confidence, and to teach you to become an active reader.
61. The talk between the girl and Clifford serves as an introduction to _____.
A. the importance of reading
B. the connection(关联) between playing instruments and reading
C. the necessity of learning to play an instrument
D. the variety of reading materials
62. It can be inferred (推断)from the story that ______.
A. Clifford was good at playing the saxophone
B. the author's friend was once a street musician
C. the 12-year-old girl played the trumpet very poorly
D. Clifford was a good music teacher
63. We can infer from the last paragraph that Developing Reading Skills _______.
A. is directed to elementary school students
B. centers around vocabulary building skills
C. aims(目的）at helping students read better
D. offers elementary reading skills
64. The underlined word "struck" in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______.
A. impressed(留下印象) B. influenced C. proved D. awakened(觉醒)
65. With good reading skills, you can .
A. understand anything you read without difficulty
B. work out the author's meaning only if you concentrate on the book
C. understand what you read with the help of a good dictionary
D. concentrate on whatever you read
C
About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn't help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, "So, how have you been?" And the boy who could not have been more than seven or eight years old -- replied. "Frankly, I've been feeling a little depressed(沮丧）lately."
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn't find out we were "depressed", that is, in low spirit, until we were in high school.
Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don't seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?.
Human development is depended not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation(揭示) machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact. allows for a great deal of control cover the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
66. According to the author, feeling depressed is _______
A. a sure sign of a mental problem in a child
B. a mental state present in all humans, including children
C. something that cannot be avoided in children's mental development
D. something hardly to be expected in a young child
67. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world ______.
A. through connection with society B. gradually and under guidance
C. naturally without being taught D. through watching television
68. According to the author, that today's children seem adultlike results from ______.
A. the widespread influence of television
B. the poor arrangement of teaching content
C. the fast pace of human scientific development
D. the rising standard of living
69. What does the author think of communication through print for children?
A. It enables children to gain more social information.
B. It develops children's interest in reading and writing.
C. It helps children to read and write well.
D. It can control what children are to learn.
70. What does the author think of the change in today's children?
A. He feels their adultlike behavior is so funny.
B. He thinks the change worthy of note.
C. He considers it a rapid development.
D. He seems to be upset about it.
D
Sometimes people call each other "scared-cat," but have you ever thought about this
expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles(肌肉) get tense(紧张）, and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream. Although the cat doesn't realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things. It will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.
Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions(feelings), our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts heat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.
Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger---or hit somebody---and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn't always clever to express your feelings freely.
Does this mean that it's smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illness can develop. It can actually be bad for your health. ( It isn't good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed. )
Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just go away. It's as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long you'd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, chances are you'd see little fruit flies flying all over them. They'd be rotten(腐烂）
You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist, but they'll still be around. And at last you'll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.
71. The best title for this article is
A. Emotions Affect Our Bodies B. What Happens to A Frightened Cat
C. What Happens to An Excited Person D. Feelings That People Have
72.What does the word "scared" mean in the first sentence?
A. excited B. frightened C. angry D. pleasant
73. According to the passage, we may conclude that we human beings.
A. have fewer problems than animals B. have the same problems as animals
C. have more problems than animals D. have cleverer problems than animals
74. If you hold in your feelings, .
A. gradually they'll disappear B. they won't exist any more
C. they will fly all over D. your body stays tense
75. The author wrote this article in order to .
A. tell us that it isn't good to keep feelings inside
B. give us some advise an how to express our feelings
C. make us face the problem that we have to deal with feelings
D. make us know that it isn't always wise to express our feelings freely

六、书面表达：
Beauty Does Not Only Come From Appearance
In the above cartoons, a girl happily eats bananas and throws the banana skin on the ground (street) instead of the dustbin (.garbage bin). The pretty girl doesn't know that such actions not only pollute the environment but also brings about danger to others. Afterwards, a disabled old man picks up the skin she has left and puts it into the garbage bin.
Despite the girl's youth and beauty, it is the disabled man who is truly beautiful. True beauty comes from one's actions rather than one's appearance.
While most of us enjoy pretty appearance, it is more important to cultivate a clean and beautiful soul. Only such souls can create a better society.
