This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the “Childrens Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the books cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mothers call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.6. The authors mother told him to borrow a book in order to_.A. encourage him to do more walkingB. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him learn more about weapons7. The book caught the authors eye because_.A. it contained pretty pictures of animalsB. it reminded him of his own dogC. he found its title easy to understandD. he liked childrens stories very much8. Why could the author manage to read the book through? A. He was forced by his mother to read it.B. He identified with the story in the book.C. The book told the story of his pet dog.D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.9. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The author has become a successful writer.B. The authors mother read the same book.C. The authors mother rewarded him with books.D. The author has had happy summers ever since.10. Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. The Charm of a BookB. Mums Strict OrderC. Reunion with My Beagle D. My Passion for ReadingCHowie Choset thinks snakes are great not snakes, really, but their ways of moving. Howie Choset, 37 years old, is a professor at Carnegie Mellow University, where he has been years in developing robots that imitate snake-like movements. Why? He sees a future for these snake-like robots in the work of saving lives.These robots are built from very light materials and can carry cameras and other electronic sensors. Small electric motors, such as those used in model airplanes, help them move smoothly. Their size is similar to or smaller than a human arm.Chosets hope is for these robots to be used in search and rescue operations after natural disasters or other emergencies. They must be controlled by a human operator using a joystick, like with a video game. The robots have the ability to know which direction is upwards, but much of their usefulness would depend on humans controlling them. Even then, these robots would be better than the current methods and equipment, most of which are just cameras on long poles.Sam Stover is the manager of a search team with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He is of the opinion that robots like these have been needed for a long time. Dogs are used effectively in search and rescue, but they are limited to places that humans can go. These robots would allow search teams to do something theyve not been able to do before. “We needed them yesterday,” said Stover.11. What gave Howie Choset the idea to design the robot?A. Snakes senses. B. Snakes eyes.C. Snakes appearance. D. Snakes movements.12. The sentence “We needed them yesterday” might mean “_”.A. We only needed them yesterdayB. We do not need them nowC. We really need them nowD. We have needed them for a long time13. Where can you most possibly find this passage?A. In a novel book. B. In a science book. C. In a fashion magazine. D. In a guide book for tourists.14. What can be inferred from the passage about the robots?A. Snakes do not seem unpleasant or even threatening.B. Snake-like robots can climb pipes.C. Snake-like robots can move in a very smooth, flexible way.D. Snake-like robots can work independently.15. Which one is true according to the passage?A. A snake-like robot has been developed.B. The snake-like robot can do something that no other robots can do.C. The snake-like robot can move injured people out of disaster areas.D. The snake-like robot is a cool toy.DFrom the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation. When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they know all the words they are reading. This means that when they dont know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.One day soon after school had started, I said to them, Now Im going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, thats enough for me. Also Im not going to ask you what words mean. The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, Mr. Holt, do you really mean that? I said just as seriously, I mean every word of it.During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk, From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, It cant be, and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick , in edition with woodcuts. I said, Dont you find parts of it rather heavy going? She answered, Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part. This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is, an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of understanding that can be dug out of a book.16. According to the passage, childrens fear and dislike of books may result from_.A. reading little and thinking little B. reading often and adventurouslyC. being made to read too muchD. being made to read aloud before others17. The teacher told his students to read .A. for enjoyment B. for knowledgeC. for a larger vocabulary D. for higher scores in exams18. Upon hearing the teachers talk, the children probably felt that_ .A. it sounded stupidB. it was not surprising at allC. it sounded too good to be trueD. it was no different from other teachers talk19. Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?A. She skipped over those easy parts while reading.B. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.C. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.D. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.20. From the teachers point of view, _.A. children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while readingB. children should be left to decide what to read and how to readC. reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in schoolD. reading involves understanding every little piece of information第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）易错考点 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两处为多余选项。（注意：请将21-25题的答案填涂在答题卡上21-25的位置。选E涂AB；选F涂AC；选G涂AD）How to Overcome WorryWhen we worry about an event that may not occur, we waste precious energy and time. There is a philosophy(哲理) that if we worry about something it is actually more likely to happen; we attract the negative event through our negative thoughts. Worry never helps, it just leaves us without peace of mind. _21_ Here are a few steps that will help.1. Concentrate on the Present Worry means we are advancing into the future and speculating that the worst might happen. Worrying about the future is not helpful. _22_ Many religious texts tell us, “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself.”2. Imagine How Good Things Can OccurIf we concentrate on the negative, it is likely to create negative emotions and negative thoughts. If we worry, this in itself is a problem for us; it becomes a vicious cycle(恶性循环). If you find yourself often in a state of fear or worry, make conscious effort to visualize the best overcome. Imagine yourself doing the best you can in the circumstances and then being detached(分开) from the result. The mind needs to be occupied. _23_3. _24_Someone once told me this trick. Place all your worried in a box( write them down on a piece of paper) and then open the box in a weeks time. Many of these worries will not have materialized, so you can cross them out. _25_ In this way, you can put your worries away. You will also see how many worries prove groundless. When you realize how so many worries fail to materialize, you will find it easier to stop worrying in the first place.A. Do Whatever You can and then Relax.B. Put Worries in a Box and Open Them LaterC. We are not responsible for what the world saysD. So it is important to be able to overcome unnecessary worry.E. So it is best to have it focused on something positiveF. If you still have things to worry about, leave them for another week.G. Just concentrate on the present and the task in hand.第二部分： 英语知识运用（共三节，满分65）本月所学第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）In our modern world, when something wears out, we throw it away and buy a new one.
