The following books cover the magical importance of thought and inward survival, as well as the physical action necessary to manage your way through life-threatening situations.

The Travels of Marco Polo by Marco Polo

No one knows what is true and what isn't in Marco Polo's travels. The adventurer journeyed in the 13th century from Venice to China, meeting Kublai Khan along the way. The book inspired Christopher Columbus, among other world travelers and writers, and helped foster the idea of global trade. But step back from the actuality of Marco Polo's trips along the Silk Road and just plain learn how to make your way through foreign lands on your wisdom alone.

Alive is one of those books that get an immediate reaction from people who have read it or seen the movie based on it. When their plane crashes high in the Andes mountains, survivors, including members of a Uruguayan rugby team, do what they feel they must do to survive. The

climax is highly controversial--and it makes you think about the lengths we humans will go to live.

Into the wild by Jon Krakauer

(B)

At a primary school in a small town in the cast of South Carolina, second-grade teachers Garneau and Lynne are convinced that separating elementary-age boys and girls produces immediate academic improvement in both genders(性别).

David Chadwell, South Carolina's coordinator of single gender education says, “Boys and girls learn, hear and respond to their surroundings differently. We can teach boys and girls based on what we now know.”

Male and female eyes are not organized in the same way, he explains. The composition of the male eye makes it sensitive to motion and direction. “Boys interpret the world as objects moving through space,” he says.

The male eye is also drawn to cooler colors like silver and black. It’s no accident boys tend to create pictures of moving objects instead of drawing the happy colorful family, like girls do in their class.

The female eye, on the other hand, is drawn to warmer colors like red, yellow and orange. To attract girls, Chadwell says, the teacher doesn't need to move as much as in boy's class. Using descriptive phrases and lots of colors in presentations or on the blackboard gets their attention.

Boys and girls also hear differently. “When someone speaks in a loud tone, girls interpret it as yelling," Chadwell says. “They think you're mad and can shut down.” Girls are more sensitive to sounds. He advises girls' teachers to watch the tone of their voices. Boys' teachers should sound more forceful, even excited.

A boy's nervous system causes him to be more cautious when he is standing, moving, and the room temperature is around 69 degrees Fahrenheit. Stress in boys, he says, tends to increase

blood flow to their brains, a process that helps them stay focused. Girls are more focused when seated in a warmer room around 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Girls also respond to stress differently. When exposed to threat and conflict, blood goes to their guts (肠道), leaving them feeling nervous or anxious.

These differences can be applied in the classroom. Chadwell adds. “Single gender programs are about maximizing the learning."

59. Which of the following students is most likely to be focused?

A. A boy sitting in a warm room

B. A standing boy who is faced with stress

C. A girl standing in a cold room

D. A girl who is facing a lot of pressure

60. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. Ways of teaching boys and ways of teaching girls

B. Boys and girls should be separated

C. How boys and girls learn differently

D. How to teach more effectively

61. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?

(①=Paragraph 1，②=Paragraph 2 ③=Paragraph 3……⑧=Paragraph 8)

(C)

Being able to multitask-doing several things at the same time-is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.

What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices(电子产品) as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a significant amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.

Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people

give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house，nor can they eat at the family table.

Multitasking also affects young people's performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets(器具) on their performance of tasks，many young people gave a positive response(反应). However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modem gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.

62. What does the underlined word “juggle” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?

A. Want to buy

B. Take the place of.

C. Use at the same time

D. Seek for information from.

63. In Paragraph 3, the author points out that

A. family members do not eat at the family table

B. family member do not greet each other

C. young people live happily in their families

D. young people seldom talk with their family members

64. The author develops the passage mainly by_

A. providing typical examples

B. following the natural time order

C. comparing opinions from different fields

D. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects

(D)

“OK,” I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice. "What's going on with you and your friend J.?" J. is the leader of a group of third-graders at her camp- a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer. Now she's the one on the outs, and every day at snack tune, she tells me all about it, while I offer the unhelpful advice all summer long.

“She's fond of giving orders,” Lucy complained. "She's turning everyone against me. She's mean. And she's fat." "Excuse me."I said, struggling for calm. "What did you just said?" "She's fat."Lucy mumbled(含糊地说)."We're going upstairs." I said, my voice cold. "We're going to discuss this." And up we went.

I'd spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day, the day we'd have the conversation about this terrible word. I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing, but in all of my imaginings, it never once occurred to me that my daughter would be the one who used the F word-Fat.

My daughter sat on her bed, and I sat beside her. "How would you feel if' someone made fun of you for something that wasn’t your fault?" I begin. "She could stop eating so much," Lucy mumbled, mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors have given overweight women for years.

"It's not always that easy," I said. "Everyone's different in terms of how they treat food." Lucy looked at me, waiting for me to go on. I opened my mouth, then closed it. Should I tell her that, in teasing a woman's weight, she's joined the long tradition of critics? Should I tell her I

didn't cry when someone posted my picture and commented, "I’m sorry, but aren’t authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty?"

Does she need to k, now, that 1ife isn’t fair? I feel her eyes on me, waiting for an answer I don't have. Words are my tools. Stories are my job. It's possible she'll remember what I say forever, and I have no idea what to say.

So I tell her the only thing I can come up with that is absolutely true. I say to my daughter, "I love you, and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you. But I’m disappointed in you right now. There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone. What she looks like isn't one of them.”

Lucy nods, tears on her checks. "I won't say that again." she tells me, and I pull her close, pressing my nose against her hair. As we sit there together, I pray for her to be smart and strong. I pray for her to find friends, work she loves, a partner who loves her. And still, always, I pray that she will never struggle as I've struggled, that weight will never be her cross to bear. She may not be able to use the word in our home, but I can use in my head. I pray that she will never get fat.

65. The underlined sentence in Paragraph I indicates that Lucy_ .

A. often makes fun of her friend J.

B. has begun to compete with her friend J.

C. gels along well with her friend J.

D. has turned against her friend J.

66. Why does the author want to discuss with Lucy?

A. Because she wants to offer some other helpful advice.

B. Because she is really shocked at Lucy's rudeness.

C. Because she has prepared the conversation for nine years.

D. Because she decides to tell Lucy a similar story of her own.

67. What does the author want to tell her daughter?

A. It is not easy to take the doctors' advice to eat less.

B. People shouldn't complain because life is unfair.

C. People shouldn't be blamed for their appearance.

D. She herself was once laughed at for her appearance.

68. It can be interred from the passage that .

A. the author is a fat but good-looking woman.

B. the author earns a living by writing stories.

C. the author will stop loving her daughter for what she said.

D. the author's daughter agreed with her from the very beginning.

第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题，每小题1分，共10分)

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

"Happiness consists in the multiplicity of agreeable consciousness," wrote Samuel Johnson, a famous British writer and lexicographer(词典编写者)of the eighteenth century.

Today，amid the large amount of worldly temptations and material sources of modem-day enjoyment, people from all walks of life are still searching for the key to happiness. The question "How can we be happy?" seems to worry everyone. Indeed, in this day and age of scientific advancement and heavenly comforts, modern people still do not seem able to find a definite answer to the age-old problem of finding happiness. Happiness seems to be a very difficult thing to be found.

In Oxford, England, a noted psychology professor, Dr Michael Argyle, has succeeded in his search for happiness. Over the past eight years, he has been researching the mysterious antithesis (对立面)of depression, and has found convincing evidence which he has used in his books. "The Psychology of Happiness", and "The Social Psychology of Everyday Life".

Dr Argyle explains that happiness consists of three essential elements-first, positive emotions like joy; second, the absence of negative emotions like anxiety; and lastly, the non-emotional element which means a general, more profound satisfaction with life.

"The bigger source of happiness is a happy marriage," Dr Argyle explains. "Job satisfaction," he continues, "is another essential ingredient of happiness." Do you feel you are doing a useful job? Do you feel you are achieving, or stand a chance of achieving your ambitions? If you honestly have positive answers to these questions, then eventually, you will be happy; if not, then you can still be happy by reducing your ambitions and lowering your expectations in order to achieve happiness. The fact is, the higher your ambitions and dreams are, the more difficult it will be for you to achieve your goals and therefore it will be harder to achieve satisfaction and happiness.

Dr Argyle offers other ways people can find real happiness. Music, games or sports, a drink with a friend, a simple gathering at tea, lunch or dinner with loved ones, or simply thinking of nice things, can give a person happiness, if only for a few hours. Surprisingly, television programmers, especially soap operas offer nothing but a bit of pleasurable moments. Often, television viewers are so carried away emotionally that they feel depressed or emotionally tired. Non-soap programmes, on the other hand, bore many viewers or sometimes make the viewers more miserable. Dr Argyle further explains that wealth and worldly success do contribute to happiness. But in the ultimate analysis, Dr Argyle says, it is the person's temperament(性情)that makes him happy or unhappy. "There are in our midst people who are naturally happy, and there are the sad ones."

Happiness is indeed mysterious. As one wise man puts it, "Few are those who have never had the chance to achieve happiness, but fewer those who have never taken that chance"
