I took home a briefcase full of troubles . As I sat down on that hot and damp  36 , there seemed to be no  37  to the problems hanging around in my brain . So I picked up a book , settled into a comfortable chair and  38  my own special therapy (療法):  39  reading .
I  40  three or four hours on two short chapters of Personal History by Vincent Sheean—tasting each paragraph , staying over a sentence , a phrase , or even a single word , building a detailed mental picture of the scene .

Next morning , four words from the book—“take the long  44 ” were still in my mind . At my desk , I had a long-view look at my  45  . Once more , super-slow-reading had given me not only  46 but perspective (視角)， and helped me in my everyday affairs .

I had started with the practical object of making my book last . But by the end of the second week I began to realize  51  I was getting from super-slow-reading itself .

I would read it slowly, analyze it , read it again—perhaps changing down into an even  53  speed—and then sit for 20 minutes thinking about it before moving on .

Bushwick is a tough place to grow up. This part of Brooklyn, in New York City, has a lot of crimes. More than half of its 100,000 residents rely on aid from the government. Only 50% of students at Bushwick High School graduate in four years.
Some people might say, “We should help these poor kids who have so many challenges.” But Malaak Compton-Rock looks at the teens in Bushwick and says, “Go to help kids who have even bigger challenges than you do.” She believes that once young people see the power they have to make things better, they can handle their own problems more easily. So her service group, the Angel Rock Project, took 30 Bushwick kids to Soweto, in South Africa, to help poor families there. Soweto is a township outside the city of Johannesburg. The effort, called Journey for Change, aims to show that any kid can change the world.
“Kids in Bushwick face pressure to drop out of school or become involved in gangs and drugs.” Says Compton-Rock. “We want them to live a life of purpose and service.”
In Soweto, many parents have died of AIDS, a deadly disease. When that happens, a grandparent or a child must lead the family. The Bushwick volunteers helped such families. They tended vegetable gardens, cared for babies and bought groceries.
“The saddest thing was when we visited an orphanage (孤兒院) and I helped a little boy who had been abandoned because he had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS,” says Queen Clyde, 12. “It‘s been good to be on this trip. But what’s also important is what we do when it’s finished. That’s what counts.” “I never appreciated what I had until I saw some people who had nothing,” says Sadara Lewis, 12. “It’s really changed my attitude. I want to make a difference.”
The trip was two weeks long. But the kids, aged 12 to 15, will spend all year speaking about their experience, fund-raising and more.
46. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Bushwick is the poorest place in New York City.
B. Bushwick still needs more care from the government.
C. It is children who suffer most in New York City.
D. Children in Bushwick are living in a bad situation.
47. In Compton-Rock’s opinion, the Bushwick kids _________.
A. have fewer challenges than those in any other district
B. are living much better a life than people in Africa
C. can learn to deal with their own problems by helping others
D. should be kept out of schools in this part of the city
48. Compared with Bushwick kids, some children in Soweto _________.
A. may have bigger challenges             B. receive no care from the government
C. are much more independent             D. are able to lead the family
49. According to the passage, “Journey for Change” can be best seen as the saying “_________”.
A. God helps those who help themselves     B. saying and doing are two things
C. one stone kills two birds                D. a friend in need is a friend indeed
50. From the passage we know that _________.
A. there are few students in Bushwick High School
B. the trip to Soweto will have a long influence in spite of its short time.
C. most children are suffering from AIDS in Soweto
D. kids with HIV will be abandoned in Soweto

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
There is no clear advice on how to use your body language. What you do might be interpreted(詮釋)in several ways, depending on the surroundings and who you are talking to. You’ll probably want to use body language differently when talking to your boss compared to when you talk to a girl you’re interested in. The following are some effective ways to improve your body language.
First, to change your body language you must be aware of your body language. Notice
how you sit, how you stand , how you use your hands and legs, and what you do while talking to someone.
You might want to practice in front of a mirror. It might seem silly but no one is watching you. This will give you good feedback(反饋)on how you look to other people and also give you an opportunity to practice a bit before going out into the world.
Another tip is to close your eyes and visualize how you would stand and sit to feel confident, open and relaxed or whatever you want to communicate. See yourself move like that version of yourself. Then try it out.
You might also want to observe friends, role models, movie stars or other people you think have good body language. Observe what they do and you don’t and take bits and pieces you like from them. Try using what you can learn from them.
Some of these tips might seem like you are faking(假裝) something. But fake it till you make it a useful way to learn something new. And remember, feelings work backwards too. If you smile a bit more you will feel happier. If you sit up straight you will feel more energetic and in control. If you slow down your movements you’ll feel calmer.
56.What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To show the importance of body language.
B.To compare spoken language with body language.
C.To give some tips on improving body language.
D.To introduce different kinds of body language.
57.We can learn from the passage that_________.
A.body language is not as important as spoken language.
B.movie stars and models always have good body language.
C.using more body language can make us more popular.
D.different body language should be used in different situations.
58.The underlined word “visualize” in Paragraph 4 means_________.
A.see in one’s mind                    B.discuss with somebody   
C.look in the mirror                    D.Practice again and again
59.What does the author mainly want to say in the last paragraph?
A.Don’t hide your true feelings.         B.It’s a good idea to imitate some people .
C.Try to stay calm all the time.         D.Go on learning more about body language.

Pete took his seat this day on his usual bench in Union Square．Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years Pete had taken this same seat exactly at one o'clock, and each time the same pleasant thing had happened．But this time Pete had come here more from habit than from hunger．Certainly today Pete was not hungry．Two rich old ladies gave him a Thanksgiving dinner of everything he could eat．
Pete sat on the bench now, hardly able to move．The buttons on his ragged shirt and coat were about to burst．The November breeze and the first light fall of snow felt cool and pleasant to his face．He happened to look to the left and there in the distance he saw the old Gentleman coming toward him．He wanted to get up and run, but he was so full of food he stayed right there．Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years, the Old Gentleman had come there, found Pete on this same bench, and then taken him to a restaurant and bought him a Thanksgiving dinner．It was a kind of tradition which the Old Gentleman, who had no family and lived alone, had tried to continue．
"How do you do' "said the Old Gentleman．" Glad to see that the changes of another year have permitted you to move in health through this beautiful world．"
Each time the Old Gentleman had said exactly this same thin? It was part of the tradition．Pete, too, began to feel as though he himself was now a part of the tradition, and he therefore did not have the courage to tell the old man that he had already eaten．This dinner seemed to mean so much to the Old Gentleman.
"Thank you, sir, " said Pete at last. “I’ll go with you gladly. I’m very hungry, sir.” Together the Old Gentleman and Pete walked south to the same restaurant where each year Pete had his Thanksgiving dinner. The Old Gentleman seemed pleased and happy. When the waiter brought dish after dish of food to Pete, the Old Gentlenman sat quietly and smiled．Under the circumstances, Pete had to eat．It was part of the tradition, and so he ate like a hero, although when he entered the restaurant even the smell of food almost made him sick．At last Pete leaned back with the battle won．
" Thank you, sir, " he said, with some effort, " for a fine dinner．"
They parted as they did each year at the door, the Old Gentlemen going south, Pete north．
Around the corner, Pete stopped for a moment, felt a terrible pain in his stomach, and then fell to the sidewalk unconscious．A little time later an ambulance came．In the hospital they discovered that he had had an attack of indigestion （消化不良）.
An hour later, another ambulance brought the Old Gentleman to the same hospital．At first they thought it was also indigestion but later one of the nurses said, "That nice old gentleman over there—you wouldn't think that it was a case of hunger．"
小題1:Where did Pete and the Old Gentleman meet every Thanksgiving Day?
A．In the restaurant．
B．In Union Square．
C．At the Old Gentleman's house．
D．At the hospital．
小題2:Which of the following sentences in the passage doesn't show Pete was full?
A．Pete sat on the bench now, hardly able to move．
B．The buttons on his ragged shirt and coat were about to burst．
C．Glad to see that the changes of another year have permitted you to move in health through this beautiful world．
D．When he entered the restaurant even the smell of food almost made him sick．

A．Pete didn't have the heart to refuse the offer
B．Pete was so greedy that he wanted to have another dinner

“A lot of learning comes through play,” says Mardy McGarry, 52, who has been a special education teacher for 28 years. But her students were too often left out. She had seen the wood chips and sand of traditional playgrounds stop wheelchairs dead in their tracks. When she wanted to build a playground for children with special needs，she knew it wouldn’t take long to develop interest in it around the small fishing village. But she never expected that 2,800 people — a third of the town—would all be willing to make a great effort to bring her vision to life.
McGarry started doing some research into play equipment and contacting design companies and she also found a piece of land available. When the city council(市議會(huì)) agreed to set aside an area for a playground, she also asked physical and professional therapists(治療專家) for their investment. And she turned to her friend, Sue, for help. “Neither of us is good at maths, which is why $450,000 didn’t sound like a lot of money,” McGarry says of the initial estimate.
Her Kiwanis Club came through with $7,000，and that’s when the grassroots movement really got started. One woman gave $25,000 and had her company match it. Soon, smaller businesses were joining in. There was a silent effort to collect money. The local Pieper Family Foundation offered to donate half of the remaining $170,000. All McGarry needed was 500 volunteers to work six 12-hour days.
On September 16, 2008, the first day of construction, they came. Two women heard about the project on the way to work and took the day off to help. A couple in their 80s operated their tractors. Ten-year-olds cleared up the mess. “None of them was paid. It was truly an amazing week,” says McGarry. Only three building managers were paid. Volunteers with “building experience” became coordinators(協(xié)調(diào)人); those who could operate power tools formed a separate group. One team served meals donated from local restaurants and churches, and another organized activities for the children of volunteers.
Today, Possibility Playground is one of the most popular destinations in Ozaukee County. All children, including the ones with special needs, play shoulder to shoulder. “Some playgrounds have special equipment in a different section. Here, you see all the kids in the same playground, all having fun.”
It’s exactly what McGarry imagined. “People used to ask, ‘Why do you want to build a playground just for children with disabilities?” She says, “It’s only when you build a playground for children with disabilities that you build one for all children.”
小題1: It didn’t occur to Mardy McGarry that __________.
A．her plan would soon draw the interest of people in the small village
B．so many people would volunteer to help her realize her dream
C．she would meet with so many difficulties in raising funds
D．the playground would be the most popular destination in Ozaukee County
小題2:We can learn from the fourth paragraph that __________.
A．the playground was finished in September 2008
B．everything was well prepared, apart from the volunteers
C．everyone worked unpaid, except for three building managers
D．the playground is so popular that it is overcrowded all the time
小題3:It can be inferred from the text that __________.
A．Mardy McGarry is a famous architect in the small town
B．Sue was forced to join in the project because of her son
C．people always ignore the real needs of disabled children
D．Mardy McGarry’s vision has been successfully accomplished at last
小題4:What would be the best title for this text?
A．Mardy McGarry: A Woman with Great Determination.
B．Cooperation: The Greatest Power in Overcoming Any Difficulty.
C．Show Real Concern for Poor Disabled Children.
D．Make it Matter to Build a Playground for Disabled Children.

Britain’s oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 101. Mr John Evans had never found the time or money to make the trip from his home in Forest – fach, near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all – expense – paid birthday treat to the capital he just could not refuse.
He arrived at Paddington Station and smartly turned out in his best suit, favorite Panama hat and a red rose in his buttonhole. “It’s very exciting. There’s no doubt about it,” he said.
Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. “But I’ve been on the seas to that faraway land called Ilfracombe 21 miles from home,” he joked.
Mr Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. “There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings return from Swansea – too much I thought. All my money went to the family then,” he said.
During the next two days Mr Evans will be taken on a short tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the House of Parliament organized by his MP, Mr Gareth Wardell.
The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided for him if he gets tired. “I don’t like the chair – people will think I am getting old,” he said. His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized – no wine, no tobacco and no anger.
Before setting off from Swansea with his 76 – year – old son, Amwell, he said jokingly, “I’m glad to see they’ve given me a return ticket.”
小題1:The very reason that Mr. Evans didn’t go to see the world is that                .
A．he had already been on the seas to Ilfracombe
B．he was too busy to go too far away from home
C．he couldn’t afford both the time and the money
D．he believed “East or west, home is the best”
小題2:Mr Evans didn’t like the wheelchair simply because                 .
A．he was not used to traveling in it
B．the wheelchair was of poor quality and not easy to operate
C．he actually preferred walking to sitting in it at home
D．he thought he was still young enough to manage the trip
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Mr Evans had to work hard to raise his family when young.
B．The trip to London excited Mr Evans very much.
C．Mr Evans could not really enjoy the trip because of his age.
D．Humor was one of Mr Evans’ characters.
小題4:The probable explanation to Mr Evans’ long life lies in                  .
A．his good living habitsB．his hard working for the family
C．his sticking to his hometownD．his living conditions near the Swansea

The World's Largest Insect
This giant insect can be used as a toy.
A child ties one end of a string to a stick and the other end around the "neck" of an insect. Holding the stick, the child lets the insect go. With a loud whirring sound, the insect takes off, pulling the string in a large curve over the child's head. The child laughs as the stick jumps around. The child is African, and the toy is the African Goliath beetle, the largest insect in the world.
The Goliath is a true insect because it has six legs and a body that is divided into three parts. Like all beetles, it has two pairs of wings. The front pair are thick and stiff and protect the back pair, which are soft. It is these soft back wings that make the beetle fly forward. They also cause the loud whirring sound the beetle makes when it flies. To steer, the beetle twists and turns its legs the same way you steer a bike by turning its front wheel.
African children often use the Goliath beetle as a toy. Although it is over 15 centimeters long, it is quite harmless.
小題1:The African Goliath beetle is _______. 
A．the world's largest insect
B．a(chǎn) toy used in many parts of the world
C．the only insect found in Africa
D．the world's smallest insect
小題2:What made the whirring sound that the child heard?
A．The curved string. B．The beetle's soft wings.
C．The beetle's six legs. D．The beetle's body.
小題3: We know the Goliath beetle is a true insect because it _______. 
A．makes a whirring sound when it fliesB．has both soft and hard wings
C．has six legs and a body with three parts D．can fly
小題4:When flying, the Goliath steers by_______. 
A．turning its soft back wings
B．twisting and turning its hard front wings
C．twisting and turning its legs
D．twisting and turning its whole body
