The night started out ordinarily enough. Jack and Tara, our   36  , were in their small beds surrounded by toy animals. My husband, Pat, and I went to sleep   37 .
  38  after midnight, Jack quietly touched me. “Mommy, I want to stay with you. I promise I won’t take much room.” I shifted   39  to make room. My son soon fell asleep.
An hour later, Tara cried and I carefully went downstairs. “Mommy, my   40  is all stuffed up（堵住）. I can’t really breathe very well. Will you please   41  with me a little while?” Tara doesn’t often get up at night,   42  I decided to be there for her. She soon fell asleep. I returned to my own bed. I was determined to sleep. But to my   43  , I found Jack sleeping on my side of the bed. He looked so   44  that I couldn’t remove him. Quietly and carefully, I lay down between  45  and Jack.
I did manage to get some sleep   46  I heard Tara’s voice again. I returned to   47 Tara. “Mom, please lie down with me a little bit, I had a bad dream, and I’m so   48 .” “Of course, honey. It was only a dream. Mommy’s here and   49  is okay.” We fell asleep   50  each other’s arms.
Even in my sleepy state, I thought of   51  these nights of merry-go-round（一連串的繁忙活動(dòng)）beds will be over. In their place, my twins will be grown.   52  before I’m ready, our children’ rooms will be much too   53  and empty. So it is especially on days when I’m worn out after a night on this mom’s merry-go-round that I remind   54  that these very days and nights are, in fact. “the good old days”, ever so   55 .

Mr. King lived with six hundred wild animals on the Greek Island of Kyklos. Ever since he left school, he had traveled all over the word collecting animals for his own zoo. He hoped to collect two examples of every kind of animal on his island. But he was afraid that people would find him someday.

Now let us look at how we read．When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, rough movement．We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate(凝視)．Each time they fixate, we see a group of words．This is known as the recognition span or the visual span．The length of time of which the eyes stop ---the duration of the fixation ----varies considerably from person to person．It also varies within one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text．Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness．
Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page．As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation．For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second．One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side．Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation．All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently．Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words．Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text．
59．The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts EXCEPT________ ．
　  A．one’s familiarity with the text B．one’s purpose in reading
　  C．the length of a group of words       D．lighting and tiredness
60．The author may believe that reading ______．
　  A．requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation   
B．requires a reader to see words more quickly
　  C．demands a deeply-participating mind                   
D．demands more mind than eyes
61．What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?
　  A．The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted．
　  B．The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see and to
comprehend words．
　 C．The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading．
　 D．The reading exercises mentioned have done a great job to improve one’s ability to see
words．
62．What is the writer’s attitude in writing this passage?
　  A．critical   B．neutral   C．pessimistic     D．optimistic

Last April, on a visit to the new Mall of America near Minneapolis, I carried with me a small book provided for the reporters by the public relations office. It
included a variety of “fun facts” about the mall, for example, 140,000 hot dogs are sold each week, there are 10,000 full-time jobs, 44 sets of moving stairs and 17 lifts, 12,750 parking places, 13,000 tons of steel and $ 1 million is drawn weekly from 8 ATMs. Opened in the summer of 2005, the mall was built where the former Minneapolis Stadium had been. It was only a five-minute drive from the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport. With 4.2 million square feet of floor space ----- twenty-two times the size of the average American shopping center –the Mall of America was the largest shopping and family recreation center under one roof in the United States.
I know already that the Mall of America had been imagined by its designers, not only as a marketplace, but as a national tourist attaction. Eleven thousand articles, the small book informed me, had been written about the mall.  Four hundred trees had been planted in its gardens, $ 625 million had been spent to build it, and 350 stores were already in business. Three thousand bus tours were expected each year along with a half-million Canadian visitors and 200,000 Japanese tourists. Sales are expected to be at $ 650 million for 2008 and at $ I billion for 2009. Pop singers and film stars such as Janet Jackson and Amold Schwarzenegger visited the mall. It was five times larger than Red Square and it included 2.3 miles of hallways and used almost twice as Knott’s Camp Snoopy.
60. We know from the text that the Mall of America is _________.
A.near an old stadium                  B.close to an airport
C.higher than the Eiffel Tower          D.bigger than most American parks
61. Why are the pieces of information provided by the Mall of America referred to as “fun facts”?
A.They are largely imagined.          B.They are surprising figures（數(shù)字）
C.They give exact descriptions.        D.They make people feel uneasy.
62. Why does the author mention popular stars who have been to the mall?
A.To show its power of attraction.
B.To show that few rich people like to shop there.
C.To tell the public about a new movie being made about it.
D.To tell people that they have chances of meeting famous stars there.
63. We can infer from the text that _______.
A.Japanese visitors are most welcome to the mall
B.Canadian visitors would spend $ I billion at the mall
C.Knott’s Camp Snoopy was next to the Mall of America
D.the Mall of America was designed to serve more than one purpose（目的）

Barcelona December 22,2007.
Spain’s “El Gordo,” the word’s biggest lottery (彩票), gave out 2.2 billion euros (歐元) (1.6 billion pounds) in Christmas prizes on Saturday.
El Gordo, Spanish for "The Fat One", is designed so that as many people as possible across Spain get a festive windfall. The top prize this year was 3 million euros -- going to the series of tickets with the magic number 06381.
Because the tickets are sold in a series of 10, only those who paid 200 euros for the whole strip get the full prize.
The biggest share of winning tickets was bought by people in the town of Nava, in the north-western Asturias region.
The draw lasts three-and-a-half hours and is carried live on national television with children from the San Ildefonso school, a former orphanage in Madrid, in turn chanting the winning numbers and the amount won.
Lotteries have two centuries of history in Spain. The country spent 2.87 billion euros on the lottery -- 5.7 percent more than last year. Seventy percent is paid out in prizes. Most of the rest goes in costs. Eight out of ten Spaniards bought tickets for the lottery, spending on average 64 euros. Spaniards often choose lottery numbers matching significant dates although there was no particular favourite in 2007. In 2006, one of the most sought-after series was 22105, the date on which Fernando Alonso became Formula 1 world champion for the second year running.
小題1:The underlined word “windfall” in paragraph two probably means         .
A．fat giftB．unexpected fortune
C．big feastD．wind and snow
小題2:Who is likely to win the full prize in El Gordo?
A．People who paid 200 euros for the wole group of series.
B．People who bough tickets with the magic number 06381.
C．People who lived in a town in the northwestern Asturias.
D．People who chose lottery numbers matching Alonso’s date.
小題3:According to the text, children from the San Ildefonso School in Madrid will         .
A．host the draw of lottery live on TV
B．offer a show of three – and – a – half hours
C．perform with the lottery draw as Christmas celebration
D．help make some declarations for the draw as invited guests
小題4:What can we learn about the history of lotteries in Spain?
A．Most of the money people spent on lotteries goes in the cost.
B．The majority of Spaniards have the experience of buying lotteries.
C．Lottery numbers matching significant dates help people win every year.
D．As the biggest in the world, Spanish lotteries have a history of two centuries.
