    All the wisdom of the ages and all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books. The most unfortunate people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.
    Reading is the pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author's or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.
    Every book stands by itself, like a one--family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something. They are connected with each other and with other cities. Books influence each other; they link the past, the present and the future and have their own generations, like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families or ideas, and in the long run, you not only find out about the world and the people in it but also you find out about yourself, too.
    Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you "you ought" to read, you probably won't have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax yourself with it, you will almost certainly have a good time  and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won't have suffered during the process.
    72. In the writer's opinion, in fact reading is a process of ________.
    A. listening to the author                                   B. accepting the author's ideas
    C. communicating with the author and yourself             D. judging the author's work
    73. The writer thinks that the most unfortunate people are those _______.
    A. who don't have any books                                  B. who can't enjoy reading books
    C. who don’t like books                                     D. who read too many books
    74. To find pleasure in reading, you should read the books _______.
    A. written by famous writers                                             B. written in humor style
    C. which you like to read                                     D. which are recommended by your friends
    75. The author's purpose in writing the passage is to _______.
    A. show the importance of reading                               B. tell us how to make reading more effective
    C. tell us how to read                              D. show the pleasure of reading

    D
    Sometimes you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don’t act on your impulse (冲动), but let it pass instead. You know that to take the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.
    Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.
    One of the newest taboos is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that people talk about constantly. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat. The “in” look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, slim manager to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline and self-respect. After all, how can people permit themselves to become fat? In an image-conscious society, thin is “in”, fat is “out”.
    It’s not surprising that millions of people have become obsessed (着迷) with staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for people’s obsession with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of people has changed since last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, people’s bodies can easily become weak. In an effort to avoid such a fate (命运), millions of people are spending more of their time exercising. Parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists, and many companies are providing special exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day.
    67. What does the word “taboo” refer to in the passage?
    A. A crime committed on impulse.
    B. An unfavorable impression left on other people.
    C. A strong desire to do something strange or terrible.
    D. Behavior considered unacceptable to the society.
    68. What does the underlined phrase “in”look probably mean?
    A. The fashionable look.                       B. The hidden look.
    C. The usual look.                                D. The inside look. 
    69. According to the passage, the common belief is that ______.
    A. fat people are full of energy
    B. thin people are more successful
    C. fat people prefer to have fat bosses
    D. thin people are less image-conscious
    70. People pay more attention to diet and exercise because of ______.
    A. their need to kill time                       B. their love for sports
    C. their concern for health                   D. their belief in hard work

    D
    Having too much confidence is not good. And now, a new study has proved this by finding that overconfident teenage students can stunt crucial（决定性的）reading skills.
    The study shows a clear connection between overconfident students and low reading comprehension.
    “While some self-confidence is helpful, overconfident 15-year-olds are often below-average (平均水平) readers in all 34 countries we studied, ” says Ming Ming Chiu, the lead author of the study.
    “In contrast, under-confident 15-year-olds are more likely to be above-average readers in all 34 countries, ”the expert added.
    The difference lies in a student’s ability to exactly assess (估计) and evaluate his or her own reading level, according to Chiu. Those who can accurately assess their strengths and weaknesses are usually in a better position to identify realistic goals and achieve them.
    “If an overconfident student chooses a book that is too hard—such as The Lord of the Rings rather than Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone—he or she might stop reading after a few pages and let it sit on a bookshelf,”says Chiu.
    “In contrast, a more self-aware student is more likely to finish an easier book and continue reading more books, ”the expert added.
    67．The underlined word “stunt” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by          .
    A. improve                   B. help                         C. prevent                    D. find
    68．Which of the following is true?
    A. Under-confident 15-year-olds are less likely to be above-average readers.
    B. Overconfident 15-year-olds are often below-average readers.  
    C. Under-confident 15-year-olds are more likely to be below average readers.
    D. Overconfident 15-year-olds are often above-average readers.
    69．People who can exactly assess their strengths and weaknesses can          .
    A. choose a better book                                     B. gain more money
    C. have realistic goals and achieve them              D. have a great improvement in their marks
    70．A more self-aware student is more likely to          .
    A. stop reading after a few pages                       B. put the book on a bookshelf

    B
    You're in a bit of a dilemma standing in front of the produce section of your local supermarket. In one hand, you're holding a conventionally grown Granny Smith apple.In your other hand, you have one that's been organically grown. Both apples are firm,shiny and green. Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol.
    The conventionally grown apple costs less and is a proven family favorite. But the organic apple has a label that says "USDA Organic". Does that mean it's better? Safer? More nutritious? Several differences between organic and non-organic foods exist. Become a better informed consumer for your next trip to the supermarket.
    The word "organic" refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Organic farming practices are designed to encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution.Farmers who grow organic produce and meat don't use conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent livestock disease.
    Here are other differences between conventional fanning and organic farming:

    * Organic or not? Check the label.
    The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established an organic certification program that requires all organic foods to meet strict government standards. These standards regulate how such foods are grown, handled and processed.Any farmer or food manufacturer who labels and sells a product as organic must be USDA certified as meeting these standards. Only producers who sell less than $5,000 a year in organic foods are exempt (免除) from this certification.
    If a food bears a USDA Organic label, it means it's produced and processed according to the USDA standards. The seal is voluntary, but many organic producers
    use it.
    46. The main purpose of the passage is_________.
    A. to promote the sales of organic food
    B. to inform people organic food is better for their health
    C. to persuade people to become informed consumers
    D. to compare conventional and organic foods
    47. According to the passage, organic farming is intended to_________.
    A. improve the quality of the soil and water
    B. take the place of the traditional agriculture entirely
    C. adopt eco-friendly methods to grow plants and feed animals
    D. prevent livestock from getting disease more effectively
    48. According to the passage, the conventionally grown apple_________.
    A. costs less but tastes worse than an organic one
    B. doesn't look the same as an organic one
    C. has proven itself acceptable by the family
    D. contains more fat, sodium and cholesterol
    49. Which of the following methods belongs to organic farming?
    A. Using chemicals to kill insects and prevent disease.
    B. Using rotted plants as fertilizer to promote plant growth.
    C. Using growth hormones to speed up animals' growth.
    D. Using pests to reduce insects and disease.
    50. From the passage we know the organic certification program________.
    A. is not meant for all producers of produce
    B. makes it compulsory to attach a USDA Organic label
    C. sets restrictions on the sales of organic produce
    D. requires all foods to satisfy the strict government standards

    A
    What Is a Boy?
    Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a “boy”. Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night．
    Boys are found everywhere－on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to． Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them． A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket．
    When you are busy, a boy is a trouble – maker and a noise． When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it．
    A boy is a mixture – he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on each hand．
    He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines． He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime．
    Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper． Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes． Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, a three-feet rope, six cents and some unknown things．
    A boy is a magical creature – he is your headache but when you come home at night with only destroyed pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “Hi, Dad!”
