She lived _33_ simple life. She seldom travelled. She never married and she died from illness when she was only 41. However, people all over the world remember her. Why?

And 42 students of English in learning strategies can help them become better learners. In addition, skill in using learning strategies assists students in becoming 43 , confident learners. Finally, students become more 44 as they begin to understand the relationship between their use of strategies and success in learning English.Students need to develop an awareness of the learning process and strategies that lead to success.

These activities may be difficult for students 47 to having a teacher who solves all their learning problems and is the 48 judge of their progress.Teachers need to encourage students to rely more on themselves. Because learning strategies are mental 49 with few observable manifestations, teachers need to find ways to make the strategies as concrete as possible.

Reading ComprehensionSection AMany people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the 51 one. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not 52 to do the work, that most people do not listen well. Listening well also requires total 53 upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as bracketing. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or 54 of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone elses world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. 55 , since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary 56 of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to 57 up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be 58 only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth. Most of the time we 59 this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening 60 . Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain 61 results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply 62 to listen to what we dont want to hear. It wasnt until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw, 63 improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy, before any of the 64 of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patients 65 that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.简要：本文是一篇科普文，题材是关于聆听。许多人对于聆听的理解可能就是一种被动的接受，但本文向我们阐释了聆听和我们所理解的恰恰相反，聆听是一种极其主动的思维活动，真正的聆听意味着我们摒弃个人的偏见和喜好，站在他人的位置去感受他人的内心世界，只有当说话者感受到被接受后，真正的交流才得以实现，才可以使我们的交流更加高效和愉悦，同时也指出聆听在病人心理疗方面的意义。51.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, and C. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A) The year was 1993 and the Detroit Tigers were playing the New York Yankees. When my son began dropping gentle hints that a game would take place at Tiger Stadium on Mothers Day that year, I already knew who they were playing with! Hey Mom, would you like to go to see the Tigers play the Yankees? My senior high son asked with a playful look. I just smiled. There had been a lot of talk about a new stadium in place of the one that stood proudly on the corner of Michigan and Trumbull in Detroit. As I sat in the seating section, I wondered how the old place could actually become a thing of the past. It was so alive; the stadium was full of watchers and the excitement with two good ball teams, the smell of popcorn. The announcer recognized all Mothers and each one received a gift which I still have today. Don Mattingly was a favorite ball player of our sons and he was one of the many players that made up the team that beat the Tigers that May Day. While we drank our favorite soft drink, we watched the guy with the number 23 shirt hit a home run during the game. The fans went wild. The Yankees won 11 to 2. Part of the excitement comes from a visit to the old ballpark . While the organ music played, everyone stood and sang Take Me Out To the Ballgame. It was part of the fun about a trip to the ballpark; and it didnt matter who you were cheering for. The last game played at Tiger Stadium was in 1999 against the Kansas City Royals. We had moved to South Carolina in 1997, but my son was working in Detroit. The old stadium is still standing; I guess they just didnt have the heart to tear down a piece of history. What I didnt realize at the time was that it would be the last game I would attend with our now grown son together.66. What caan we infer from the first paragraph?A. The writer was a fan of the ball game.B. The ball game took place on the May Day.C. Her son was one of the ball players.D. The Detroit Tigers would lose the game.参考答案：B测量目标：细节把握难度等级：难思路解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中When my son began dropping gentle hints that a game would take place at Tiger Stadium on Mothers Day that year, I already knew who they were playing with!可知答案为B项。难点在于学生很难从Mothers Day 推出是May Day，可用排除法。67.
