    The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath the long branches of an old willow tree.   31  at life, I have a good reason to frown, for the world was intent on   32  me down.
    And if that weren't enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath   33 me, all tired from play. He stood   34  in front of me with his head tilted down and said with great excitement, "Look what I found!" In his hand was a   35 . What a pitiful sight, its petals were all worn - not enough rain, or too little light. Wanting him to take his dead flower away and go off to play, I   36  a small smile and then looked away.
    But instead of   37  , he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and   38  loudly with certainty, "It sure smells pretty and it must be beautiful, too. That's why I picked it; here, it's for you." The weed before me was dying or dead, not vibrant of   39 , orange, yellow or red. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I  40  for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need." Again,  41  placing the flower in my hand, he held it mid-air without reason or plan. It was then 42 I noticed for the very first time that the boy could not see: he was 43 .
    I heard my voice trembling. Tears shone like the sun as I thanked him for picking the very best one. "You're welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play, not realizing the  44  he'd had on my day. I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a  45   woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he 46 my self-indulged plight(困境)? Perhaps he'd been  47  with true sight from his heart by God.
    Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. For all of those times I myself had been blind. I decided to see beauty, and 48  every second that belongs to mine.  49 I held that dead flower up to my nose and breathed in the  50  of a beautiful rose , I smiled as that young boy. Another flower in his hand was about to change the life of an unsuspecting old man.

    Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.
    It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireplace in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theatres, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry had a place in everyday life.
    How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and they can do well without poems?
    There are, I believe, three culprits (肇事者): poets, teachers and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed (背叛) us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions hostile (不利的) to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.
    Poets failed the readers, so did the teachers. They want their students to know something about the craft (技巧) of a poem, and they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.
    小题1: Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because _______.
    A．it built a link among peopleB．it helped unite a community
    C．it was a source of self-educationD．it was a source of pleasure
    小题2:The underlined word “diversion” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______.
    A．diversityB．change C．amusementsD．happiness
    小题3:In the last paragraph, the writer questions _______.
    A．the difficulty in studying poems
    B．the way poems are taught in school
    C．students’ wrong ideas about poetry
    D．the techniques used in writing poems
    小题4:According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?
    A．Poems have become difficult to understand.
    B．Students are poorly educated in high school.
    C．TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.
    D．Students are becoming less interested in poetry.

       How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery． All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters． These letters could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down． Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words．
    The power of words, then, lies in their associations---the things they bring up before our

    minds． Words become filled with meaning for us by experience, and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases． Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions． This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style． Above all, the real poet is a master of words． He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears． We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar（粗俗的)．

    For the person keeping a journal, whatever he experiences and wants to hold he can write down. But to get it down on paper begins another adventure. For he has to focus on what he has experienced, and to be able to say what, in fact, the experience is. What of it is new? What of it is remarkable because of associations in the memory it stirs up? It is a good or bad thing to have happened? And why, specifically? The questions multiply  (增多) themselves quickly. As one tries to find the words that best represent this discovery, the experience becomes even clearer in its shape and meaning.
    Beyond the value of the journal as record, there is the value of the discipline it teaches. The journalist begins to pay closer attention to what happened to and around himself. He develops and sharpens his skills of observation. He learns the usefulness of languages as a means of representing what he sees, and gains skill and certainty in the expression of his experiences. To have given up one’s experience to words is to have begun marking out the limits and potential of its meaning. In the journal that meaning is developed and clarified (澄清、阐明) to oneself. When the intention of the development of that meaning is the consideration of another reader, the method of the journal redirects itself and it becomes the essay.
    小题1:According to the author, keeping a journal is good for ________.
    A．observation and expression
    B．certainty and discipline
    C．experience and adventure
    D．consideration and development
    小题2:By keeping a journal, one can ________.
    A．develop the usefulness of language
    B．develop his memory
    C．clarify the consideration to everyone
    D．have a thorough understanding of his experience
    小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT correct?
    A．The journalist can express what has happened.
    B．A journal can serve as a record of the past happening.
    C．The journalist must be able to observe closely.
    D．Writing helps develop the consideration of others.
    小题4:The passage is mainly about ________.
    A．how to write a journal
    B．the expressions of a journal
    C．the values of keeping a journal
    D．how to solve the problems in a journal

    Swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life. Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. In fact, you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However, I believe that five is the best age to learn. By five or six, a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know. It's wise to be afraid, to recognize true danger. Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous.
    To really benefit from swimming, every swimmer should learn, as soon as possible, these four basic strokes; butterfly, backstroke, Breaststroke, and crawl. I feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the others, since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally, without any training.
    In swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow:
    1). Never swim alone! No matter how good you are in the water, don’t risk drowning by swimming alone. If you swim by yourself, with no life guards or friends with you, you may get into trouble.
    2). Don't go beyond your abilities. Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach, Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good. Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive.
    3). Don't smoke. Swimming depends on a healthy body; good lungs are part of it.
    4). Work at any activity that builds muscles.
    小题1: Little children can learn to swim as soon as _____.
    A．they can talk
    B．they start walking
    C．they have no fear of the water
    D．they are five or six years old
    小题2:The author believes that fear of water is_____.
    A．stupidB．sensibleC．dangerousD．not smart
    小题3: The stroke that some young swimmers use first is_____.
    A．butterflyB．backstrokeC．breaststrokeD．crawl
    小题4:According to the passage, you should not swim alone because_____.
    A．the water is too cold
    B．your parents would not be happy
    C．something in the water might attack
    D．you might drown

    Our plan was to drive into Cambridge, catch the 7:34 train to Liverpool Street Station, then to separate and meet again for lunch. We should have arrived at Liverpool at 9:19, but due to a typical London fog, the train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there. In spite of our late arrival, Joan, my wife’s sister, decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping. It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadn’t decided where we should meet for lunch. Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket, this was indeed a problem. There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London, and try to find her there. Needless to say, we didn’t find her.
    It was now one o’clock, and the concert began at 2:30. “Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall,” suggested my wife hopefully. By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop, and the only way to get there was by underground railway. Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be. An hour later we were still trying to find it. Just as I was about to lose my temper completely when we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog. With his help we found Tower Hill tube station just fifty yards down the road.
    By now it was far too late even to try to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2:30, so we decided to return to Cambridge. It took seven long hours instead of the usual two to make that journey. Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train. Tired and hungry we finally reached home at ten, opening the door to the sound of the telephone bell. It was Joan; she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant near the hotel where she decided to stay for the night. Now she was ringing to discover whether we had had an equally successful day.
    小题1: Why was Joan separated from her sister and her brother-in-law?
    A．they could not see each other because of the fog.
    B．Joan had not seen Crown Jewels.
    C．They planned to do different things until lunch time.
    D．The writer didn’t want to go to the concert.
    小题2: What did the writer plan to do in the afternoon?
    A．Go to the concert.B．See the Crown Jewels.
    C．Return to Cambridge.D．Go shopping.
    小题3: The reason why they didn’t all meet for lunch was that _______.
    A．They lost their way in the fog
    B．they forgot to make necessary arrangement
    C．they waited at different places and didn’t meet each other
    D．the couple couldn’t find the underground station
    小题4: It’s quite clear that for Joan the trip to London had been ________.
    A．spilt by the fogB．quite tiring
    C．rather disappointingD．very enjoyable

    What do you do if you are hit in the mouth and one of your teeth is knocked out? A dentist(牙医)may be able to put the tooth back in for you, but you have to get to the dentist first．In the meantime, you have to store the tooth so that it will stay healthy．
    The simplest thing to do is put the tooth back into your mouth, or you could put it in milk．Frank Courts, a dentist at the University of Florida, worked with other researchers to find the safest way of keeping knocked-out teeth．He tried putting teeth into milk, into water, and into cell-culture medium(细胞培养液)．He also tried, just drying the teeth in the open air．He used teeth that had to be removed from people’s mouths for various reasons．The teeth were put into one of the solutions(溶液)or stored in the air for one hour．Then cells from the root of the teeth were scraped-off the teeth．Dr．Courts and the others then studied how healthy these cells were．
    The cell-culture medium worked best to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth．However, few people keep cell-culture medium handy at home or in school．
    The next best thing was milk．But Dr．Courts said that the best thing of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket(牙槽)in the mouth．For some people, though, this is just too painful or upsetting．So milk will do, until you get your tooth (and your mouth)to a dentist．
    小题1:This passage is mainly about             ．
    A．how a dentist can save a knocked-out tooth
    B．how to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy
    C．how Dr．Courts and other researchers made their experiments
    D．how to put a knocked-out tooth back into its socket
    小题2:The best way to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth is to store it       .
    A．in cell-culture mediumB．in milkC．in waterD．in the open air
    小题3:Milk can be used instead of cell-culture medium to put a knocked-out tooth in because    ．
    A．milk works better to keep the tooth healthyB．milk causes less pain
    C．cell-culture medium is not usually handyD．cell-culture medium is more expensive
    小题4:“Dr．Courts said that the best of al1 was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket in the mouth．”In the sentence, the word “best” means              .
    A．cheapest and healthiestB．least painful and cheapest
    C．quickest and least painfulD．easiest and healthiest
