We were standing next to my old car, without any gas or money. It was three miles away
from the nearest gas station and five miles away from my home. The weather was terribly hot.
Although my ten-year-old daughter was trying to tell me not to worry, we could do nothing but
wait.
About 10 minutes later, another car came and stopped. It was a local family that they lived a
few miles from us. These people were always unfriendly and didn't like to talk with other people
in town. They even wouldn’t like to say hello when meeting anyone.
To our surprise, the wife got out of the car and asked if they could help. I said that we needed
gas and money. Without thinking, she got back in her car and started it. Twenty minutes later they
returned with some gas. I told them that we had no money for the gas. “No problem, It's more
important for you to drive back home,” she said.
After we got back home, I went to their place to give the money back. But they had moved
away. Even now I can't pay them back for their kindness. But whenever I try to help others, I'll

“That's because you can't give up. What you are. Let yourself evaporate(挥发) into the breeze,
and it can take you across.” said the desert.
"Give up what I am now? No! No! The little stream could not accept this idea.”
“The breeze can carry the vapor (水蒸气)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will
form y river again, "said the desert. "And whether you're a river or vapor, your nature never
changes.”

Reading is the key to school success, and like any skilled（技巧），it takes practice. A child
learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of
the other.
An excellent sportsman practices until he 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 meanings of the words. With
more and more practice, he stumbles less and less. As a result, he can read by phrases and soon by
sentences. With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about the meanings of words, so that he can
pay all his attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan
Rossman of Northwestern University found the automatic readers in the first grade not only read
almost three times as fast as others, but also got better results in exams.
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount of time a child spends reading,
not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or
newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off the TV or keep the
cellphones away just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read
aloud with expression, with a sense of the meanings of the sentences, you probably are an
automatic reader. If you are brokenly one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need
more practice.
26 "Reading is the key to school success. "means that reading .
A. helps school develops faster B is a key to a successful school
C. helps students go to a key school D. can improve students’ learning results
27. Children with “automaticity” can read faster because they .
A. know how to read the word B. do not have to think while reading
C. read by themselves without any help D. pay attention to the meaning of the text
28. Rossman tells us that any child who will possibly be an automatic reader.
A. turns off TV one night for 4 weeks B. reads books by words quickly
C. spends an hour reading every day D. gets the same grades as others in exams
29. The underlined word "stumbles" in the second paragraph means .
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
30. The best title for the passage is
A IQ is the key to atomicity B. TV is bad for children’s reading
C. Automaticity depends on practice D. Automaticity readers will be successful'
【答案】DDCAC

长难句分析：

本句中含有一个由 who 引导的定语从句--- who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading
books, magazines or newspapers，先行词是 child.
任务型
A. What does my heart do? B. What makes me sneeze?
C. Why do I breathe? D. What do I eat?
E. How do I move? F. What is my skin for?
Your body is special -- no two people in the world are alike. Although you are different from
everyone else, you have exactly the same body parts as the people around you, doing different
jobs that keep all of us alive.
What is inside my head?
Your head houses the most valuable part of your body -- your brain. As you are reading, your
eyes send pictures to your brain which makes meaning for what you see. Your brain helps you
remember and think, and make sure your body is doing what it should do.
31
Your skin covers your body. In most parts of your body, the skin is just as thick as half a
centimeter. If you have your skin cut, it will have a quick cure and stop viruses from getting into
your body. Your skin also helps you feel the heat coldness of the environment around you. Hair
grows from inside the skin. When you feel hot, extra heat comes out through your skin. As a result,
your body temperature drops
32
Muscles are found in most parts of your body. They work with your bones to help you move
-- whenever you cry or smile, eat or speak, walk or dance, etc.
33
Your body needs to take in oxygen from the air and give out the unwanted carbon dioxide in
the body. When you breathe, air comes through your nose and mouth into your lungs where
oxygen flows to different parts of your body.
34
When dust or a strong smell gets into your nose, you sneeze. This is the way your body
cleans up the dust in your nose. Your lungs push out the air and try to clear your nose.
35
Your heart is a very special muscle. It it slightly bigger than your fist and grows bigger as you
do. If you place your hand on your chest, you will feel your heart beating which forces blood to
move around your body.

You should often encourage yourself." Come on, don't be afraid!"
You should never lose heart and never give up.
Maybe you are afraid of 53 (lose) face, but you should think since we are students and
we're learning ,there's no need 54 (worry) about anything. You must always be active in
practice. There's no problem that your pronunciation and intonation (语调) can't be as good as the
native people 55 we are Chinese, and we don't have chances to live in English-speaking
56 (country) and talk with the people there all the time .But you must know that the main aim
to study English is that we make ourselves understood and 57 (understand) other people as
well. You should believe that native speakers will not laugh at you. instead they will encourage
you. So 58 you are brave enough, you'll 59 (certain) make a rapid progress in
your spoken English.
Don't be shy. 60 (not) be afraid! Just have a try.

【答案】参考范文：
How time flies!I am writing to tell you about how I spent this winter vacation in the hope of
inviting you to leave for China to spend the next winter vacation together with me.
During the first week of my holiday,I paid a visit to my grandparents’ home in the
countryside.The air was so fresh and the mountains were so green that I just lost myself in the
beautiful nature..Then I visited lots of places of interest there,learning much culture as well as
history.As for the last week,my friends and I did some social work for our neighborhood.Though
we were tired,we still felt pretty happy.What an interesting and meaningful vacation it was!
If it is possible,can you come to China to spend the winter vacation with me next year?I believe
you will have a wonderful time.Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Lin Tao
