    1．I carry a Rubik's Cube （魔方） in my backpack．Solving it quickly is a terrific conversation starter．I usually ask people to try it first．They just turn the cube over in their hands，not even knowing where to begin．That's exactly what it was like for me to learn how to read．Letters and words were out of order．Nothing made sense because I am dyslexic．
    The Rubik's Cube has made me believe that sometimes you have to take a few steps back in order to move forward．This was a reflection of my own life when I had to leave public school after the fourth grade．It's embarrassing to admit，but I still couldn't always spell my full name correctly．As a fifth-grader at a new school specializing in what's called"language-processing disorder"，I had to start over．I then spent the next four years learning how to learn and find strategies that allowed me to return to my district's high school with the ability to communicate my ideas and express my intelligence．
    Now，I can easily solve the 5×5×5．I discover that just before it is solved，a problem can look like a mess，and then suddenly you can find the solution．Early in my Rubik's career，I became so frustrated that I took the cube apart and rebuilt it．I believe that sometimes you have to look deeper and find answers in unexpected places．The Rubik's cube taught me that to accomplish something big，it helps to break it down into small pieces．I learned that it's important to spend a lot of time thinking，to try to find connections and patterns．I believe that there are surprises around the corner．
    Like life itself，the Rubik's cube can be frustrating puzzle．So everyday I carry a Rubik's cube in my backpack as a reminder that I can achieve my goals，no matter what obstacles I face．

    46．The author took the Rubik's Cube apart becauseA．

    B．he hated it and wanted to destroyed it
    C．he wanted to learn how to rebuild it
    D．he was eager to find the connections
    47．The underlined word"dyslexic"in Paragraph 1probably means a person who has trouble withB．
    A．remembering
    B．reading
    C．speaking
    D．listening
    48．Why did the author leave the public school？A
    A．He had to take steps back in order to relearn the basic things at another school．
    B．He was so crazy about the Rubik's Cube that he wanted to solve it first．
    C．His interest shifted to learning how to communicate with other people．
    D．He was afraid to go to the public school because he could not spell his name．
    49．The author carries a Rubik's Cube in his backpack toD．
    A．start conversations with strangers
    B．compete with others
    C．take it apart and rebuild it
    D．encourage him to succeed
    50．Which would be the best title for the text？C
    A．Unforgettable Lessons About Life          
    B．Approaches to Solving the Rubik's Cube
    C．Accomplishing Big Things in Small Stages   
    D．Surprises Around the Corner．

    分析 本文属于记叙文阅读，作者小时候有阅读障碍，因此他不得不离开公立学校到另一所学校去重新开始学习基本的东西，而魔方使作者明白了要将大的事情分成一个个小的部分，这样容易解决问题，因此作者每天在背包中装上魔方，以此激励自己．

    解答 46．A  细节理解题，根据Early in my Rubik's career，I became so frustrated that I took the cube apart and rebuilt it．I believe that sometimes you have to look deeper and find answers in unexpected places．可知作者将魔方拆开是因为他不知道怎么解决它，因此他将魔方拆开重建，故选A．
    47．B  词义猜测题，根据That's exactly what it was like for me to learn how to read．Letters and words were out of order．Nothing made sense because I am dyslexic．可知作者不知道怎么样去阅读，作者有阅读困难，故选B．
    48．A  细节理解题，根据It's embarrassing to admit，but I still couldn't always spell my full name correctly．As a fifth-grader at a new school specializing in what's called"language-processing disorder"，I had to start over．可知作者离开公立学校是因为他要在另一所学校重新开始学习基本的东西，故选A．
    49．D  细节理解题，根据So everyday I carry a Rubik's cube in my backpack as a reminder that I can achieve my goals，no matter what obstacles I face．可知作者每天在书包里带着魔方是因为他想让魔方提醒他，不管有什么样的障碍他都能实现自己的目标，故选D．
    50．C  主旨大意题，通读全文可知本文以魔方为线索，作者将魔方拆成小块来解决问题，因此告诉我们要在小的阶段完成大事情，故选C．

    点评 做阅读理解时要快速的浏览全文，把握文章主旨大意，带着问题回到原文，寻找细节或概括相应的答案，最后要理清作者写作思路．

    7．San Francisco has its cable cars．Seattle has its Space Needle．And，Longview has its squirrel bridge．The bridge，which has attracted international attention，is now a local landmark．
    The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder，Amos Peters，to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars．
    The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds．Before the bridge was built，squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels．Many times，Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over．
    One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth，and that day's coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety．The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council（市政会）．The Council approved，and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere named the bridge"Nutty Narrows．"
    After architects designed the bridge，Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started Construction，They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose（消防水带）．It cost 1，000．
    It didn't take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started．Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes．The story was picked up by the media，and Nutty Narrows became know in newspapers all over the world．
    In 1983，after 20 years of use，Peters took down the worn-out bridge．Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced．The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983，hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge．
    Peters died in 1984，and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project．

    12．The kids in this village wear dirty，ragged clothes．They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud．They have no school．Yet they all can chant the English alphabet，and some can make words．
    The key to their success：20tablet computers（平板电脑） dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U．S．group called One Laptop Per Child．
    The goal is to find out whether kids using today's new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist．The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they're already amazed．"What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten，"said Matt Keller，who runs the Ethiopia program．
    The fastest learner-and the first to turn on one of the tablets-is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse．The device's camera was disabled to save memory，yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work．He called himself a lion，a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia．
    With his tablet，Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows．Then he spelled words on his own．"Seven months ago he didn't know any English．That's unbelievable，"said Keller．
    The project aims to get kids to a stage called"deep reading，"where they can read to learn．It won't be in Amharic，Ethiopia's first language，but in English，which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs．

    62．How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village？B
    A．It trains teachers for them．         
    B．It contributes to their self-study．
    C．It helps raise their living standards．
    D．It provides funds for building schools．
    63．What can we infer from Keller's words in Paragraph 3？C
    A．They need more time to analyze data．
    B．More children are needed for the research．
    C．He is confident about the future of the project．
    D．The research should be carried out in kindergartens．
    64．It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa couldA．
    A．learn English words quickly．          B．draw pictures of animals．
    C．write letters to researchers．         D．make phone calls to his friends．
    65．What is the aim of the project？C
    A．To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs．
    B．To make Amharic widely used in the world．
    C．To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English．
    D．To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language．

    16．When several people look at the same person，it is not unusual for each of them to see different things； when you are alone observing one behavior or a person at two different times，you may see different things．The followings are but some of the factors that lead to these varying perceptions（感知，认识）：
    （1）Each person's perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning，education，and personal experiences．
    （2）Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what've observed．It is not necessarily true that person perception is based on observations of a particular person．Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person； or you may focus primarily on the situation or role relationship．Most people do not use the same standard to measure their parents，their friends，and strangers．
    （3）Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don't see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs，desires，or temporary emotional states．This is a process known as selective perception．Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory information is particularly obvious，but it can be done．We can ignore the stimulus-"He's basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting（入店行窃）．"We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information-"All kids get into mischief（顽皮）．Taking a book from a bookstore isn't such a big deal．"We can change the meaning of the contradictory information-"It wasn't shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later．"

    51．The first factor given by the author that affects our perception isB．
    A．our hearing and visual abilities
    B．cultural background and personal experiences
    C．the experience one learns from others
    D．critical measures taken by other people
    52．While observing a particular person，D．
    A．one is likely to take all aspects into consideration
    B．one pays more attention to his/her advantages
    C．children often differ from grown-ups in perception
    D．one tends to choose certain aspects to look at
    53．Observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ becauseA．
    A．they follow different standards
    B．either of them may be slow to catch information
    C．the time for observation is not long enough
    D．each of them uses different language to express his/her impressions
    54．The underlined word"stimulus"in Paragraph 4refers toC．
    A．something attractive       
    B．selective perception
    C．contradictory information      
    D．shoplifting
    55．The worst thing in selective perception is thatB．
    A．the information received runs against your desire
    B．facts can be twisted or totally ignored
    C．importance of the contradictory information can be overrated （估计过高）
    D．misbehaved children may not be punished．

    6．When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，"Well，it's so-and-so's fault．"or"I know I'm late，but it's not my fault；the car broke down．"It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser．You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation．However，you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to  remedy the situation．This is the winner's key to success．
    Winners are great at overcoming problems．For example，if you were late because your car broke down，maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly．Or，you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers，so you could call for help when in need．For another example，if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability，find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person．Ask to work with a different person，or don't rely on the person．You should accept that the person．Ask to work with a different person，or don't rely on this person．You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well．
    This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens．Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives； they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else．They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents．So，stop focusing on"whose fault it is．"Once you are confident about your power over bad situations，problems are just stepping stop on for success．

    56．According to the passage，winnersC．
    A．have responsible and able colleagues
    B．meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
    C．deal with problems rather than blame others
    D．blame themselves rather than others
    57．The underlined word"remedy"in Paragraph 1is closest in meaning toA．
    A．improveB．accept   C．avoid      D．consider
    58．When your colleague brings about a problem，you shouldD．
    A．ask a more able colleague for help
    B．blame him for his lack of responsibility
    C．tell him to find the cause of the problem
    D．find a better way to handle the problem
    59．When problems occur，winners take them asB．
    A．excuses for their failuresB．chances for self-development
    C．challenges to their colleaguesD．barriers to greater power
    60．Which of the following is the best title for the passage？B．
    A．A Winner's Problem．B．A Winner's Secret．
    C．A Winner's Opportunity．D．A Winner's Achievement．
