Everyone has experienced trying, but failing to master a difficult book that was begun with the hope of increasing one's understanding. When that happens, it is?　36　?to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in?　37　?too much from the first reading of a(n)?　38　? book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the?　39　?reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair(令人失望).

Read these ?　45　?.You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that ?　46　? you to have read the book through once ?　47　?.
What you understand by reading the book through to the?　48　? will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not ?　49　? in your first reading.

Most of us were taught to ?　52　? the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the ?　53　? of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another ?　54　? for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only ?　55　?our reading, instead of helping it.

36.C　文章第一句指出每个人都有这样的经历,希望通过看懂一本难书来提高自己的理解力,但失败了。那么当这种情况发生时,很自然地就会认为试图读难书是错误的,natural自然的,只有这个词最符合此处语境,因此选C项。?
37.D　上文指出“but that was not the mistake.”即试图读难书不是错误,错在一开始对读难书的期望太高。expect意为“期盼,预料,期望”,所以选D项。?
38.B　文章第一句“Everyone has experienced trying,but failing to master a difficult book that was begun with the hope of increasing one' s understanding.”就有暗示。?
39.A　分析一下句子成分,这是一个含有条件状语从句的主从复合句。从句是If you read it in the right way“如果读难书方法正确”，主句是no book written for the 　39　reader,no matter how difficult,need be a cause for despair(令人失望).主句的主语是no book,谓语是need be,a cause for despair是表语。written for the 　39　reader是定语修饰book,no matter how difficult是状语。分析完句子成分,我们不难理解此句意为:“如果读难书方法正确,不管书有多难,没有一本为普通的读者所写的书会令人失望。”A项ordinary 意为“普通的,平常的”,B项意为“年轻的”,C项意为“严肃的,不开玩笑的”,D项意为“真诚的”。只有A项符合句意,所以选?A项。
40.C　因为前一句What is the right method?是特殊疑问句,所以此处应为answer(答案)。
41.B　由either...or是平行结构推出not 与后面的often forgotten是同义,所以此空应填known。?
42.C　此处语意是:“当第一次读难书时,要一次读完,不要停下来思考那些你不能马上理解的东西。”下一段的第一句也有暗示。?
43.A　上一段最后一句“That rule is simply this:when reading a difficult book for the first time,read it through without ever stopping to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.”有暗示。此处同时考查情态动词,强调能力用can't。?
44.C　此处句意为:“读完难的部分,那么你很快就到了你能理解的地方。”下一段最后一句“if you ?allow? yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.”也有暗示。?
45.D　由下一句“You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again”推出此处应为认真阅读。?
46.A　这句话的意思是:“当你再读一遍时你将会有机会对整本书有更好的理解,但那就要求你先通读一遍这篇文章。”require sb. to do sth.意为“要求某人做某事”。?
47.C　从文中不定式的完成式可以推出,书已看完,所以应是在此之前看,即在read it again 之前先通读一遍这篇文章,所以选C项。?
48.B　由read the book through(读完这本书)推出此处应为to the end从头到尾通读一遍这本书。?
49.D　此处句意为:“从头到尾通读一遍这本书所理解的东西将对你以后再读你第一次没看懂的地方很有帮助”,所以选D项。?
50.C　由much better than说明前面understanding half of it要比后面understanding 　50.C of it强多了,即能理解一半要比一点不懂强多了,nothing最符合题意,所以选C项。
51.A　句意为：“如果你让自己在第一次读到难的地方就停下来,那你将会一无所知。”which指代前面understanding nothing of it。由主句...will happen推出这里应是条件状语从句,所以应该填if。?
52.D　此处句意是:“我们被教要思考那些我们不懂的东西。”put away意为“处理,收拾起来,把(钱等)留存起来”；put down 意为“放下,使(乘客等)下(车)”；think of 侧重于“想到,想起”；think about侧重于“思考,考虑,熟虑,研讨”,所以选D项。?
53.B　对不熟悉词,我们自然要查出它的意思,所以选B项。?
54.C　此处句意是:“我们被告知要查出不熟悉词的意思,并且对那些在我们正读的书上看不懂的东西要在另外一本书上找到解释。”in the book we were reading 与in another book结构相对应,所以?选C项?。?
55.A　由连词but和后面的短语instead of helping it推出这里应该是贬义词,所以填harm“伤害,对……有害”。D项prevent的结构是prevent sb. from doing sth.，与本句our reading结构不符合,所以选A项。

Think back to this time last year. What was on your mind?
Most likely, you were thinking about finals or the holidays, although in this city I’ve noticed that thinking about the holiday is a fancy way of saying how much stuff will I get.
Now reflect on your thoughts for this holiday season. Most people are still thinking about the holidays, but I say that with a grain of salt. Everybody with a functioning brain and the ability to communicate knows that this holioday season comes with a pretty large price tag: the debt of all the hardships, both domestic and foreign, that we’ve faced over the past 12months.
Let’s face it: some of us will get everything we want over the holidays. But there are others whose parents have lost their jobs or who have lost jobs themselves because of the current economic situation. As much as we try to ignore it, there is still economic unrest in the blue and gold suburb.
In this situation, we have three options. One: We ignore the situation, like we seem to do for every bad thing that happens around us, because by God, it’s the American Way! Two: We recognize that our economy is shot, feel bad about it and spend our time wishing for the good old days. Three: We recognize that our economy is shot, but instead of moping, reflect on every good thing that we have going for us. Now, which option sounds best to you?
I spent a week this summer working in and around New York City with the city’s homeless population. Or so I thought. Although a lot of the people I served were in fact homeless, a significant number of them had a job or a home or both. The truth of the importance of this situation is that they and thousands of others across the country can’t afford even the most basic things of life, even while working two jobs. Yet no one that I met complained about their hardships. Instead, they took whatever I happened to give them(which was, more often than enough, not enough) and were genuinely grateful for what they had.
Wrap your heads around that statement for a second. These people worked their butts off to stay alive with minimal results, yet were overjoyed by a flimsy(脆弱的) paper plate with donated green beans on it. Although I am ashamed to admit it( both as a girthy figure and an affluent citizen), I have taken for granted most of my meals, let alone green beans, and I know for a fact that I am not alone.
64. 小题1:According to the passage when people think about holidays they care much for ____.

A．where to spend their holidays	B．how to spend their holidays
C．what they can get for their holidays	D．who they should go to visit

65. 小题2:When the author wrote the article, the economic situation in his country ____.

A．began to go bad.

B．began to improve

C．was still serious

D．was favorable for middle class.

A．to be thankful in time of hardship.	B．to spend their holidays in a wise way
C．to think little about their holidays	D．to help the country to sail through the crisis

67. 小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that the writer is most probably ______.

A．a homeless child

B．an old professor

C．a famous scientist

D．a young student

Life on-line can be a much richer experience when you aren’t restricted to just written words and still pictures.Even if you’re new to the Net,you’ve probably heard about multimedia on-line—listening to audio,watching animations and videos,even playing in three-dimensional space.Sound and movement make information come alive.
To experience it,you’ll need special pieces of software called plug-ins.The term “plug-in” refers to a small,add-on piece of software which extends the capabilities of your web browser,like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer,turning your computer into a radio or TV.
When you arrive at a web page which contains a file requiring a plug-in which you don’t have,you will usually receive a message asking if you want to get it by downloading it and installing it into your computer.Most of the time,the installation will be automatic.
Occasionally,you’ll run into a downloaded file which needs to be decompressed or un-zipped before installation.Once installed,plug-ins run automatically,without you having to do anything.
Many multimedia controls still need to be obtained from the developer but are installed automatically.
Shockwave is a good example of this.All you need to do is go to the Macromedia site and click on the link to install the ActiveX control.The rest happens automatically.The next time you go to a “Shocked” website,the Shockwave control loads and plays the movie.
Most plug-ins and controls can be downloaded for free on the Internet,although not all will work with every system.Some of them,for instance,only work with Windows 95.
小题1:Plug-ins can help us to do all of the following except _________.

A．listening to music

B．watching animations and videos

C．playing three-dimensioned games

D．searching for information on the net

小题2:The correct explanation about “plug-in” is _________.

A．a radio or TV connected with a computer

B．a small,add-on piece of hardware which improves your web browser

C．a small,add-on piece of software which can turn your computer into a radio or TV

D．a small,add-on piece of software like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer

小题3:When we go to a “shocked” website a second time,_________.

A．we should go to the Macromedia site and click on the link to install the Active X control

B．the shockwave control loads itself and plays the movie for us

C．we will be asked whether to download the shockwave control or not

D．we have to buy the shockwave control and load it

小题4:Most of the time,how can we get a plug-in before automatic installation?

A．We have to buy it from the developer.

B．We have to borrow it from the developer.

C．We have to rent it from the developer.

D．We can obtain from the developer without paying.

　　Some time ago ,I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended ,as there are a whole lot of antique（古董）shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception（接待）. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't oven look at my chair.
　　The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth - so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
　　I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,“ Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said,“ Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,”I said. “OK, ”he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds. ”“It ‘s got a slightly broken leg,”I said. “Yes, I saw that, it's nothing.”

I'm sorry, I'll give you twenty -seven pounds for it. ”“ Your must be crazy, ”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ”“ You’re right, ”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said,’Would you mend this chair for me　I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble.

Surfing—the art of riding a wave on a pointed board—is the wildest, fastest natural water sport known to man. In recent years, it has developed into a major sport around the world, from Australia to South Africa. Australians brave(挑战) men—eating sharks to ride the green waves Down Under, Hawaiian experts risk(冒…之险) their lives on huge, thirty foot swells(浪涛) against the wind of Oahu; Californians of all ages go out the year-round. In the winter, surf-riders put on life-suits to ride grave waves so cold that their flesh turns blue.
Surfing is no sport for weak persons. Swimming a quarter of a mile or more, and pushing a surfboard out to where the swells are just right for riding, can be real work. Then, at exactly the right moment, you climb up the wave and go fast across the face of a powerful swell with the white water jumping at your feet. The huge wave bites at your shoulder, threatening(威胁) at any moment to smash your flat. In the next several seconds, a cool head and lightning—quick action back to the pressure of the attacking wave will bring your board under control for that great ride down the back of the great, green mountain of water. Once on the beach, you know why surfing is growing in popularity as an international sport, and you’re glad to be a member of this new water world.
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us ______.

A．people around the world go surfing all the year round

B．the definition(定义) of the sport

C．how to surf in the sea

D．where to surf around the world

小题2:The author believes that surfing _______.

A．is not an easy sport	B．can be done by anyone
C．should be done by everyone	D．does not require courage

小题3:In order to experience what real surfing is, _______.

A．you must first swim a quarter of a mile to warm your body

B．you will first ride on a board to reach the swells

C．you must first put on your life-suits before doing surfing

D．you must first swim to the swells with your board

Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California’s Santa Ana Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn’t reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I’d just head east.
A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. “Four more lights,” she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night.
She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield(挡风玻璃). It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.
“I just can’t leave you here,” she said. “This isn’t the nicest place. I’ll give you a ride home.”
“You’ll drive me home in the bus?” I asked, perplexed(困惑).
“No, I’ll take you in my car,” she said.
“It’s a long way,” I protested.
“Come on, ” she said. “I have nothing else to do.”
As we drove from the station in her car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor along, ” she said.
When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn’t hear of it. “That wouldn’t make it a favor, ” she said. “Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along.”
