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（相同的） to my dog. I ran myfingers 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 beincredibly 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. encourage him to do more walkingB. let him spend a meaningful summer C. help cure him of his reading problem D. make him learn more about weapons22. 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 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 bee 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.25. 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 ReadingBAt thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊所） with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me.When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didnt finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldnt get much education. But Louis didnt giveup. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots （点）, which opened up a whole new world ofknowledge to the blind.Wasnt I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I pleted the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didnt expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?”26.

The disabled should be treated with respect.B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.CWhy do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Dont Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity or extreme overweight among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% and is growing.30. In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities. C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.31. This text is mainly the relationship between .A. Americans and the FrenchB. life style and obesityC. children and adultsD. fast food and overweight32. Where does this text probably e from?A. A TV interviewB. A food advertisementC. A health reportD. A book reviewDAs Internet users bee more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your puter will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a puter. The first group of people understood that the puter would save the information. Thesecond group understood that the puter would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the puter. The information was in a specific puter folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet,they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called transactive memory (交互记忆).According to Sparrow, we are not being people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, puter users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesnt mean we are being either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.33. The passage begins with two questions to .A. introduce the main topicB. show the authors attitudeC. describe how to use the Interne.D. explain how to store information34. In transactive memory, people .A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a puterD. remember how to find the information35. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrows research?A. We are using memory differently. B. We are being more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.第二节：七选五How to Bee an Activist (活动家)Activists are people who see the need for change and devote their time to doing something about it.36 If you are interested in it you can do so. 37 This could be anything from a student club to a national organization (like the American Civil Liberties Union or the National Organizers Alliance).
