15.Everyone needs a break,and vacations are not meant for serious study.(36)FThe Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey.
Before getting into the recommendations,you need to determine your English reading comprehension level.If you're at the beginner level,there are two options:reading a children's book or reading a book that you've read in Chinese translation.(37)GIf you're at the intermediate level,popular books like pop fiction,mysteries and thrillers are good options.For advanced readers,classic works of literature or modern prize winners (Nobel,Pulitzer) are good options.
(38)BWhen I pick up a book I like,even though the first few chapters are really hard to get through,I would try to get accustomed to the language the author uses.Generally,after the first few chapters,things get a lot easier,especially if I get involved in the story.
Another great way to keep yourself motivated is to find a friend who's interested in reading the same book.You can make goals that you both want to achieve.(39)E  Some quick recommendations:Harry Potter,start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by US writer Michael Crichton; and if you like horror,US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun.(40)DHappy reading!

A.If you pick a book which is so challenging,it will be too stressful.
B.The most important thing is to pick a book that you're really interested in.
C.You may also enjoy your reading when hanging out with your family.
D.You should just find a topic or author you're interested in,and the rest will go from there.
E.You can also discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail.
F.Instead,they're a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book.
G.This will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases,since you're already familiar with the story.

分析 本文介紹了在春節(jié)期間,根據(jù)不同的閱讀層次推薦不同的閱讀材料.

解答 36-40 FGBED
36.F 由前句提到"vacations are not meant for serious study"假期不是認(rèn)真的工作,相反而是…
37.G 根據(jù)前句讀一些兒童讀物和簡寫本可知,這樣做可以減少不認(rèn)識單詞和短語.
38.B 后句"When I pick up a book I like…"可知,要挑選自己感興趣的書.
39.E 這段的主旨句為"Another great way to keep yourself motivated is to find a friend who's interested in reading the same book"找一個志同道合的讀友一起,可以通過SMS or e-mail互相交流.
40.D"Harry Potter,start with the first book and go on from there"根據(jù)第一推薦內(nèi)容的句子來判斷.

點(diǎn)評 做這種七選五閱讀時,首先需要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章的主旨大意;其次要學(xué)會帶著問題到文中相應(yīng)的地方,通過細(xì)節(jié)閱讀來尋找或概括答案;最后理清作者的寫作思路也非常重要.

10.Halloween Coming Out
"A man was shot in the face during a bank robbery."That was the news about me five years ago.From then on I never looked in a (36)A; it even scared myself when seeing my destroyed face.I lived in my house alone without outside contact.But one night I was making an (37)D.It was Halloween.
What a fitting night for me to (38)C!I longed for human contact.When my pumpkin lantern smiled a toothy welcome in my front door,I heard footsteps and giggling(咯咯的笑) as children came close to my house.
"Trick or treat,"they cried.

"Do you want a trick,or do you want a treat?"My voice sounded more like a ghost.The (42)C  expression on the children's faces suggested everything.
"Treat!"They (43)D  picked a candy or two from my bucket,and ran to the (44)A  of their parents.

"Hi,Shirley."I spoke quietly not to (47)B  her."Aren't you beautiful tonight?"
She stared at her feet and shook her head,"No."
"Yes,you are.You're Shirley Temple,the most beautiful girl in the world."
She looked up at me,and pulled her (48)C to the side.Seeing her deformed(變形的) face,my heart missed a beat.
"Well,I think you are beautiful,darling."I said gently.
At the words,her eyes connected with mine.An uncertain hand reached toward my bucket and took one piece of candy."Thank you."Her voice was a (49)B.She turned and ran to her mother.I nodded my head to her mother and gave them both a (50)B.
I closed my door and turned off my gate lamp.My (51)D  life began again.
The next morning I heard my doorbell ring.I tried to ignore it,(52)C  it rang again.I went to the door and called out,"Who's there?"
"It's Shirley Temple and her Mom."

7.Clean your ears,because airport security might soon be scanning them.According to a recent discovery,the shape of ears could provide a reliable new way of identifying people at airports.
Researchers discovered that ears of each person have a unique shape and they have created a system that can scan them.The ear scanning technique uses a technology called image ray transform that highlights all the tubular structures (結(jié)構(gòu)) of the ear and measures them.Professor Mark Nixon,a computer scientist who led the team from the University of Southampton,believes ear scanning could take place as passengers walk through security gates,for example,by placing cameras on either side to record an image of their ears.Comparing the results against a database of ear shapes,the new system could help airport security workers instantly identify passengers.
Nixon and his team tested 252 images of different ears and found the system was able to match each ear to a separate image held in its database with 99 percent accuracy.
Besides ear scanning,there have been other systems developed for identity recognition.
"With facial recognition,the systems are often confused by crows feet (魚尾紋) and other signs of ageing,"Nixon said."Your ears,however,age very gracefully.They grow proportionally (按比例) and your lobe (耳垂) gets a bit larger,but otherwise your ears are fully formed from birth."What's more,facial recognition software is often confused by changes in expression so people need to control their faces and in some cases even avoid wearing make-up.
An ear scan system would also offer a less invasive alternative to retina (視網(wǎng)膜) scanning,which requires passengers to stare at scanners from a close range.
Fingertip detection has long been the most effective way of identifying someone.Nixon expects there to be a combination of different techniques that can be used at the same time to identify a person."
56.The ear scanning system would help to find outC
A.where you come from                          
B.whether you are healthy
C.who you are                                                       
D.who shares your ear shape
57.The article does not sayD.
A.who developed the system                            
B.how the system works
C.where the system can be applied                
D.how long the system took to develop
58.Ear scanning would work better than facial recognition mainly becauseB
A.the ear scanning system is computerized 
B.ears change less with age than faces
C.facial expressions are often the same                 
D.facial appearances aren't unique
59.The underlined word"invasive"in the last but one paragraph possibly means"D".
A.comfortable          
B.expensive                 
C.disappointing                 
D.a(chǎn)nnoying
60.Nixon has developed the ear scanning system while there's already the fingertip detection becauseC.
A.ear scanning can be used at airports                  
B.fingertip detection is not so convenient
C.he doesn't think one system is enough      
D.ear shapes are easier to read than fingerprints.

4.From a very early age,some children exhibit better self-control than others.Now,a new study that began with about 1,000children in New Zealand has tracked how a child's low self-control can predict poor health,money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.
Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now.They observed the level of self-control the youngsters displayed.Parents,teachers,even the kids themselves,scored the youngsters on measures like"acting before thinking"and"Persistence in reaching goals."
The study led by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed  1,000children from birth to age 32in Dunedin,New Zealand.
"The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten,later on had the most health problems in their 30s,"Moffitt said,"and they had the worst financial situation.They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income."Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed,and weren't just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids.
Moffitt said it's still unclear why some children have better self-control than others,though she said other researchers have found that it's mostly a learned behavior,with relatively little genetic influence.But good self-control can be set to run in families because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents.But the good news,Moffitt said,is that self-control can be taught by parents,and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective.

66.From the first two paragraphs we learn thatB.
A.the research has been carried out for five years
B.self-control in kids tends to determine their future
C.self-control was assessed by children's intelligence
D.children's self-control is almost the same at early age
67.Children with low self-control are more likely toD.
A.become wealthy in later life    
B.get good school performance
C.have better financial planning  
D.a(chǎn)dopt negative behaviors
68.According to Moffitt,D.
A.only good genetic factors can shape their lives in the future
B.scientists know well why some children have better self-control
C.self-control in childhood has nothing to do with criminal activity
D.willpower as a child really influences people's chances of adulthood
69.What can be inferred from the passage?D
A.Self-control cannot be taught in schools.
B.The study is restricted within few participants.
C.It's never too late to deal with self-control problems.
D.Good parenting can improve self-control and life success.
70.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A
A.Child's self-control predicts future health,success
B.Kids are encouraged to take risks at an early age
C.Children's development cannot be changed by teachers
D.How to teach the kids a bit of self-control in schools.
