    8．From good reading we can derive pleasure，companionship，experience，and instruction．A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity．Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life．It increases our contentment when we are cheerful，and lessens our troubles when we are sad．Whatever may be our main purpose in reading，our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction．
    With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely．Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary，they may become our companions and friends．In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times．The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances．Our human friends sometimes may bore us，but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company．By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings．When human friends desert us，good books are always ready to give us friendship，sympathy，and encouragement．
    One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience．Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences，but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books．Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place，a book will help us when nothing else can．To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way； no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us； no passport to enter the land of our heart's desire．Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger．We can climb lofty mountains，brave the perils of an Antarctic winter，or cross the scorching sands of the desert，all without hardship．In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood； we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards； we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island．Indeed，through books the whole world is ours for the asking．The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited．The beauties of nature，the enjoyment of music，the treasures of art，the triumphs of architecture，the marvels of engineering，are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read．
    43．Why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading？B
    A．No one has come to disturb you．
    B．The book you are reading is so interesting and attractive．
    C．Everything is so quiet and calm around you．
    D．Your book is overdue； you are finishing it at a very fast speed．
    44．How would you account for the fact that people like their acquaintances in books even more？C
    A．They resemble human friends exactly．B．They are unfamiliar types we like．
    C．They never desert us．D．They never hurt our feelings．
    45．Which of the following is true？C
    A．Your wish to visit some far-off place can be realized through the pages of the books．
    B．To escape from the dull realities of everyday life you should take up reading．
    C．You may obtain valuable experience from reading good books．
    D．Books can always help you to live a colorful life．
    46．The word"weary"meansD．
    A．"to attract someone's attention"B．"to distract someone's attention"
    C．"to make someone interested"D．"to make someone very tired"

    分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了读好书的重要性；一本好书可以使我们的注意力完全吸收，我们暂时忘记我们的环境，甚至我们的身份，帮助我们成长．

    解答 43．B．细节理解题．由第一段A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity可知一本好书可以使我们的注意力完全吸收，我们暂时忘记我们的环境，甚至我们的身份；故选B．
    44．C．推理判断题．由第二段By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings可知人们更喜欢书中的熟人因为他们不会抛弃；故选C．
    45．C．细节理解题．由第二段第八句One of the most valuablegifts bestowed by books is experience．可知你可以从阅读好书中获得宝贵的经验；故选C．
    46．D．猜测词义题．由两个分句的转折关系可知never weary应与bore反义，即weary与bore同义，都是"使人疲倦/厌烦"之意；故选D．

    点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

    18．Knowing about yourself not only means finding out what you're good at and what you like，but also means discovering what you're not good at and what you don't like．Both help you to see your aim （目标） in life．
    Although most students would be unhappy if they failed a very difficult physics exam，they have in fact learned a lot about themselves．They know that they should not become engineers or physical scientists．So failing can help a student to live a happier life if he learns something from it．They may then decide on their aims and choose the work they like and are fit for．
    It is impossible to decide whether you like something until you have tried it．If you decide  to play the piano，you need to take more than one lesson before knowing whether you are really interested in it or able to do well．It is not enough if you want to be a great pianist．You also have to like the hard practice and long training．If you enjoy being a great pianist but hate the work，forget it．
    It's a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are young．Then you will find out what your true interests are．

    59．If you say you really know yourself，D．
    A．you know what you don't like             B．you know what you are good at
    C．you have no interest in your work         D．you've got the whole picture of yourself
    60．Failing can turn out to be something good ifB．
    A．you have aim in life    B．you learn something from it
    C．you lead a happier life D．your decision is right
    61．What can we learn from the second paragraph？C
    A．Success is more helpful．
    B．No one is fit for the job of a physical scientist．
    C．Failure is a better mirror．
    D．Physics can help students live a better life．

    17．Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes．"Shoes convey useful information about their wearers，''the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality．
    Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style，cost，color and condition of someone's shoes．In the study，63University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants．Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes，and then filled out a personality questionnaire．
    Some of the results were expected：People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes，and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people．However，some of the more specific results are strange enough．For example，"practical and functional''shoes were generally worn by more"pleasant"people，while ankle boots were more linked with‘‘aggressive''personalities．The strangest of all may be that those who wore‘‘uncomfortable looking"shoes tend to have"calm"personalities．And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them，you may suffer from"attachment anxiety"，spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance．There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal（主张变革的）types wearing"shabbier and less expensive"shoes．
    The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities，but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities．

    32．What does this text mainly tell us？C
    A．The richer you are，the more expensive shoes you will wear．
    B．Shoes convey false information about the wearer．
    C．People's personalities can be judged by their shoes．
    D．People know little about their personalities．
    33．Which of the results is beyond people's expectations？C
    A．Wealthy people often wear expensive shoes．
    B．Pleasant people like wearing uncomfortable shoes．
    C．Aggressive people are likely to wear ankle boots．
    D．Flashier shoes are typically worn by outgoing people．
    34．People suffering from"attachment anxiety"tend toB
    A．wear strange shoes      B．worry about their appearance
    C．have a calm character   D．become a political leader
    35．The author wrote the text in order toA
    A．inform us of a new study    B．introduce a research method
    C．teach how to choose shoes   D．describe different personalities．
