    17．If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles．He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out．
    While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day，few people in the United States will give him a passing thought．It's nothing personal．Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes．
    But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius．In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China．
    In the past two decades，the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities．More recently，the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80countries．These schools teach both Chinese language and culture．The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art，history and philosophy．Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy．Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese．So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States．Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers．
    So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well．
    Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West．
    As for the old thinker，he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West，even if his birthday is．

    25．The opening paragraph is mainly intended toB
    A．provide some key facts about Confucius
    B．attract the readers'interest in the subject
    C．show great respect for the ancient thinker
    D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
    26．We can learn from Paragraph 4that American studentsC
    A．fight for a chance to learn Chinese
    B．try to get high scores in Chinese exams
    C．have a great interest in studying Chinese
    D．take an active part in Chinese competitions
    27．What is the best title for the passage？B
    A．Forgotten Wisdom in America
    B．Old Thinker with a Big Future
    C．Chinese Culture for Westerners
    D．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
    28．The passage is likely to appear inA．
    A．a newspaper
    B．a history paper
    C．a biography
    D．a philosophy textbook．

    分析 本文是一篇新闻报道．本文主要讲述了外国人对中国文化的兴趣越来越浓，对于孔子的思想也越来越感兴趣这一社会现象．孔子思想已经深入西方，成为西方人深入了解中国人的一座桥梁．美国学生对汉语产生了浓厚兴趣，这就需要更多的老师传播孔子思想和中国文化．

    解答 BCBA
    25 B．作者意图题．根据文章第一段"If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles．He'd need a fan or a b wind to help him put them out．"可知文章开篇做了一个有趣的设想，假如孔子活到现在，给他过生日，需用扇子或大风帮他熄灭生日蛋糕上的蜡烛，目的是吸引读者，引起读者兴趣．引起本文要讨论的真正话题，故答案B正确．
    26 C．推理判断题．根据倒数第二段"Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West．"说明中国对每个人有很强的吸引力，很多美国人对中国都很感兴趣，故答案C正确．
    27 B．主旨大意题．本文主要讲述的正是中国越来越引起世界的关注，同样，中国的文化也引起了世界人民的兴趣，很多人都开始了解中国的文化，这给孔子这位中国的思想家带来了新生，故答案B正确．
    28 A．推理判断题．本文主要讲述了外国人对中国文化的兴趣越来越浓，对于孔子的思想也越来越感兴趣这一社会现象，那么很有可能是新闻报道的内容，文章新颖有时效性，所以选C．A项指传记，详细描述人物的生平；B项指历史论文，用词要术语化；D项指哲学课本，应着重哲学概念和思想．故答案A正确．

    点评 一、速读全文，了解大意知主题．
    　　阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面．阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力．考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质．
    二、看题干，带着问题读文章．
    　　首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等．其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位．此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率．
    　　三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题．
    　　在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义．要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全．推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等．
    　　四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎．
    　　猜词是应用英语的重要能力．它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇．我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义．

    2．A new study has found that social media could be affecting the sleep of young adults．
    The study is a project of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine．They found that young people who often use social media are more likely to suffer from sleep disorder than those who use social media less．The researchers say doctors should ask young adults about their use of social media when treating sleeping issues．
    "This is one of the first pieces of evidence that social media use really can influence your sleep，"said Jessica C．Levenson．She was the lead author of a report on the study．
    The researchers set out to examine the connection between social media use and sleep among young adults．Levenson noted that these young adults are possibly the first"generation to grow up with social media．"
    The researchers wanted to find out how often young people used social media sites like Facebook，Twitter，and Tumblr．For the study，they gave questionnaires to nearly 1，800adults，aged 19to 32．On average，members of the study group used social media sites one hour a day．They also"visited various social media 30times per week．"
    Thirty percent of the study's participants reported having serious problems with sleeping．Those people who used social media a lot were three times more likely to have a sleep disorder．And those who spent the most time on social media were twice as likely to suffer from sleep disturbances．
    Levenson said the number of times a person visits media is a better predictor of sleep problems than overall time spent on social media．If this is true，she adds，then practices that stop such behaviors may be most effective．

    32．What's the main idea of the text？C
    A．The search focuses on social media．
    B．The researchers manage to handle sleep problem．
    C．Social media affects sleep．
    D．Doctors treat young patients．
    33．When treating sleep problems，doctors are advised toB．
    A．offer some advice about giving up social media．
    B．ask the young patients about their use of social media．
    C．give young adults some medicine．
    D．ask about the patients'living conditions．
    34．How did the researchers mainly carry out the study？B
    A．By doing online research．
    B．By asking participants to fill in questionnaires．
    C．By collecting published data．
    D．By giving an example．
    35．What can be inferred from the text？D
    A．men are more likely to suffer from a sleep disorder than women．
    B．People often using social media are less likely to have a sleep disorder．
    C．Using computers less helps avoid sleep problems completely．
    D．Sleep problems can be determined by the times of a person visiting social media．

    10．At Blossom End Railroad Station，22-year-old Stanley Vine sat，waiting for his new employer．The surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy landscape of war-torn France．After four horrible years as a solider in Europe，Stanley returned to England in February 1946．Armed now with some savings and with no possibility of finding a job in England，he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada．Two months later he was on his way．
    Stanley rose to his feet，trying to make the most of his five foot and four inches frame．The farmer，Alphonse Lapine，shook his head，"You're a skinny thing．"On the way to his dairy farm，Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids．"Money is tight．You'll get up at dawn for milking，and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again．Ten dollars a week．Sundays off．"Stanley nodded．He had never been on a farm before，but he took the job．
    From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family．They made fun of the way he dressed and talked．He could do nothing right．The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper，criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake．The oldest son，13-year-old Armand，constantly played tricks on him．But Stanley never responded．
    Stanley never became part of the Lapine family．After work，they ignored him．He spent his nights alone in a tiny bedroom．However，each evening before going to bed，he lovingly cared for the farmer's horses．On Saturday nights he hiked into the nearest town and wandered the streets or enjoyed a restaurant meal before returning to the farm．
    Early one November morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared，after working for only six months．The railway station master，when questioned later that week，said he had not seen him．In fact no one in the community ever heard of him again．That is，until one evening，almost 20 years later，when Armand opened an American sports magazine and came across a shocking headline，"Millionaire jockey，Stanley Vine，ex-British soldier and 5-time horse riding champion，began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada．"

    56．Stanley decided to go to Canada becauseC．
    A．he wanted to escape from war-torn France

    A．Stanley joined the French army when he was 18 years old
    B．on the farm Stanley had to milk the cows 14 times a week
    C．the Lapine family were rich but cruel to Stanley

    58．What did Stanley like doing after work each day？B
    A．Hiking to different towns．
    B．Caring for the farmer's horses．
    C．Wandering around the farm alone．
    D．Preparing meals on the farm．
    59．Why was Armand so astonished when he read about Stanley in the magazine？D
    A．He didn't know Stanley had been a British soldier．
    B．He had no idea Stanley had always been a wealthy man．
    C．He didn't know his father paid Stanley so little money．
