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 panion 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 sl owly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated fr om 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.21. The authors mother told him to borrow a book in order to _. A. help cure him of his reading problem B. let him spend a meaningful summer C. encourage him to do more walking D. make him learn more about weapons22. The book caught the authors eye because _. A. it contained pretty pictures of animals B. he found its title easy to understand C. it reminded him of his own dog D. he liked childrens stories very much23. 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.24. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author has had happy summers ever since. B. The authors mother read the same book. C. The authors mother rewarded him with books. D. The author has bee a successful writer.BNew Jersey Botanical Garden MembershipIts easy to join New Jersey Botanical Garden (NJBG) Membership or renew your membership online, by phone or by mail.

Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position. But nowadays, hats, especially womens hats, are much more than that. More exactly, hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars. Whats more, people now consider many different features (特点) when choosing even a simple hat. Many designers point out that, when choosing the right hat, its important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair, your height, and the shape of your face.First of all, the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair. For instance, black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned. If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair, one will look as attractive as a summer flower. Second, the height of the hat is also an important point. Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns, just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height. Third, and most importantly, the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick. A small, gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face. However, women with big, round faces should choose a different style.As the saying goes, “Fine feathers make fine birds.” A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features, so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public?29. According to the article, which of the following women would look most attractive? A. A big-faced woman who wears a small, nice hat. B. A short red-haired woman who wears a purple hat. C. A tall woman who wears a hat with a huge upturned brim. D. A small dark-skinned woman who wears a black hat with a tall crown.30. What does the last paragraph suggest? A. Hats are worn on the head to keep warm. B. Hats can help you look better in public. C. Hats are not as important as character. D. Hats can make you look much taller.31. What is the best title for the article? A. How to Show Your Social Position. B. How to Improve Your Features. C. How to Choose a Proper Hat. D. How to Design a Nice Hat.DIts hard not to crack a smile when youre faced with the tail-wagging, constantly smiling Kit-Cat Clock, which is kind of the reason it first came to be. In the 1930s, America was in the thick of the hopeless and gloomy Great Depression, and across the country people were in low spirits. Powerless to the crisis on a larger scale, Oregon designer Earl Arnault designed a way to bring a glimmer of joy to the people around him; the Kit-Cat Clock. He conceived the feline(猫科的)themed product in early 1932tricky eyes, black wagging tail and allbut it wasnt until the end of the decade when the depression began to lift that production of the clocks officially began. Originally, the smiling Kit-Cat Clock were made entirely from metal, but as the popularity of manufacturing with plastic grew, the Kit-Cat Clock soon followed suit. Two forepaws and a bow tie were added in the 1950s, and the wagging tail was made a little bit fashionable. Aside from these minor changes, however, the design remained largely unchanged from the time of its birth. Sadly, in the 1980s the Kit-Cat Clock nearly went kaputwith motor manufacturing relocated offshore and batteries still in their infancy(幼儿期), it was difficult to keep the clocks many parts moving. So, it was up to the makers to e up with a solution: a brand new, powerful piece of battery technology. With the Kit-Cat Clock free to tick away another day, different colour options and sizes, and a lady version were eventually introduced, too. 32. Why did Earl Arnault design the Kit-Cat Clock? A. To kill the time.B. To bring people pleasure. C. To present his designing ability.D. To encourage people to face the crisis bravely. 33. When was the Kit-Cat Clock put into production? A. In the 1950s. B. In the 1980s. C. In the early 1930s. D. In the late 1930s. 34. What can we infer from Paragraph three? A. The Kit-Cat clock is made totally from plastic now. B. The Kit-Cat clock has changed greatly since the 1950s. C. Kit-Cat Clocks of different shapes can be bought on the market. D. It was the new battery technology that saved the Kit-Cat Clock.35. Whats the passage mainly about? A. The change of the Kit-Cat Clock.B. The design of the Kit-Cat Clock. C. The history of the Kit-Cat Clock.D. The purpose of the Kit-Cat Clock. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。选项中有两项为多余选项。请将答案写在答题纸上。A good book can be satisfying.
