this project.knowing that it was finally complete gave me great satisfaction.“perfect！”i said.“now，all i have to do is to keep the dogs off of it.” i went about setting up barriers(障碍)using old fence，broken chairs，flowerpots，and anything i could find so as to avoid footprints both on the oil paint and our carpet.it worked perfectly.just before returning to the house and to a much needed shower，i took one last look at this fine work of art.“what is that？”i said.“where did that come from？”clearly marked and evenly spaced across the entire area，i found tiny marks running in straight lines.i carefully stepped to our flower garden.it was there i found several of the small markings.now，almost frozen in place by this stunning(令人震惊的)discovery，i remained in position so as to prevent further damaging my work.just then，off to my left，it appeared.a chipmunk(花栗鼠)he was as stunned as i was.we stood there face to face looking at each other，wondering who would make the first move.the warm，wet air was now getting the best of me.sweat now ran freely over my head，and in poor timing(适时)into my eyes.i reached up to rub them and when i opened my eyes he was gone.my only satisfaction was in thinking that when he returned home he tracked oily footprints into his own home.and，hoping he was married，his wife would not let him live it down for the rest of his life.i stood up，shook my head，and laughing about it all walked into my house.yes，i tracked oil on the carpet.i am married.my wife will not let me live it down for the rest of my life.36what was the project the author completed in the passage?aa painting. ba carpet.ca fence. da flower garden.37we can know from the passage that the chipmunk_.amade fun of the authorbstole something important in the housecdestroyed

(19152005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century.millers father had moved to the usa from austriahungary，drawn like so many others by the “great american dream”however，he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the great depression of the early 1930s.millers most famous play，death of a salesman，is a powerful attack on the american system，with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth.in willy loman，the hero of the play，we see a man who has got into trouble with this system.willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment：if he cant do the work，then he is no good to his employer，the wagner company，and he must go.willy is painfully aware of this，and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success.he refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.when it was first staged in 1949，the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the tony award for best play，the new york drama critics circle award，and the pulitzer prize for drama.it was the first play to win all three of these major awards.miller died of heart failure at his home in roxbury，connecticut, on the evening of february 10,2005，the 56th anniversary of the first performance of death of a salesman on broadway.40why did arthur millers father move to the usa?ahe suffered from severe hunger in his home country.bhe was attracted by the “great american dream”che hoped to make his son a dramatist.dhis family business failed.41after it was first staged，death of a salesman _.aachieved huge successbwon the first tony awardcwas warmly welcomed by salesmendwas severely attacked by dramatists42. what is the text mainly about?aarthur miller and his family.bthe awards arthur miller won.cthe hardship arthur miller experienced.darthur miller and his bestknown play.ctoday，we complete our story about the influential english writer william shakespeare.he wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries，which remain very popular today.during earlier times，people would probably have learned several ancient roman and greek plays.it was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works.for example，in shakespeares play “the comedy of errors”，shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient roman writer plautus.for his play “macbeth”，shakespeare most likely used a work on scottish history by raphael holinshed for information.shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers，but the intensity of his imagination and language made the plays his own.while many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten，shakespeare and his art live on.shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him.he described the sights and sounds of london in his plays.his works include observations about political struggles，the fear of diseases，and the popular language of the citys tradesmen.shakespeares knowledge of the english countryside is also clear.his works include descriptions of deep forests，local flowers，and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.it would be impossible to list all of the ways in which shakespeares works have influenced the world culture.but the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the english language.during his time，the english language was changing.many new words from other languages were being added.shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic (富诗意的) inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones.for example，he created the noun forms of “critic” ，“mountaineer” and “eyeball”many common expressions in english come from his plays，including “pomp and circumstance(隆重的仪式)” from “othello” ，“full circle (绕圈子)” from “king lear”，etc.the list of cultural creations influenced by shakespeare is almost endless.from paintings to television to music and dance，shakespeare was well represented.shakespeares plays have been translated into every major language in the world.shakespeare became a wellknown writer during a golden age of theater.his years of hard work paid off.43what can we infer from the passage?amany of shakespeares works were influenced by earlier writings.bshakespeare was hardworking when he was a student.cthe experience of living in london helped a lot with shakespeares works.dshakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.44shakespeare might have learnt some information from ancient roman works in_.a“king lear” b“the comedy of errors”c“macbeth” d“othello”45shakespeares greatest influence should be on _.athe english languagebpaintingsctelevisiondmusic and dance46the passage is mainly about_.aan introduction to shakespeares life and his worksbthe main features and styles of shakespeares playschow culture influenced shakespeare and he influenced culturedshakespeares greatest influence on the world culturedwhether youre studying for a test，reviewing paperwork for your job，or trying to understand a journal article，reading comprehension is involved in.unfortunately，when the reading material is difficult，our reading comprehension can suffer.learning to comprehend what you read can help you prevent wasting time as well as make you more productive(富有成效的) on the job or at school.the things you already know are important for understanding things youre going to learn.before you begin reading something on a new topic，think about what you already know about it and how what you are reading might build upon that.since kindergarten，weve all been told to keep a dictionary nearby when reading，but few of us follow this advice.if you are not absolutely certain of the meaning of a word，look it up.youll not only make reading easier；youll also improve your vocabulary.if you are reading especially challenging material，try taking notes.if you write while you are reading，reading will become boring and your comprehension will go downhill.instead，make an outline at the end of each paragraph or sentence.someone thinks that speed reading is very popular，and certainly has its place.however，from my point of view，its a terrible idea if you want to learn.besides，speed reading will cost you more time because you will have to go back and review if you understand what you have read quickly.focus on quality reading rather than quick reading，and take frequent breaks if you begin to get distracted(注意力分散的)when reading something boring，its easy to just read the words without even understanding what they mean.at such times，just find a way to relate to the material.write down questions，and look up concepts online to get alternative perspectives.your comprehension will improve and youll be less likely to need to reread.47the passage is intended to teach students how to _.aform good study habitsbtake notes when reading bookscimprove reading comprehensiondtreat their reading homework properly48the author suggests that when reading books we should _.arefuse to use a dictionarybthink about what we knowcpay more attention to new topicsdpractise speed reading first49. according to the passage，whats the authors attitude towards speed reading?acurious. bpositive.cunconcerned. dopposed.50. what should we do if we come across some boring materials?aignore new words.bmake every effort to understand it.cread it without understanding.dask for help from others.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)students will need to use all of their skills in order to understand the reading selections in readers choice.51_ these selections provide practice on employing different reading skills to get the message of the writer.they also give students practice in four basic reading skills：skimming，scanning，reading for thorough comprehension，and critical reading.skimming involves reading quickly through a text to get an overall idea of its contents.this kind of rapid reading is suitable when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or 52._like skimming，scanning is also quick reading.however，in this case the search is more concentrated.53._ when you read to find a particular date，or number you are scanning.reading for thorough comprehension is carefully reading in order to understand the total meaning of the passage.at this level of comprehension the reader is able to summarize the authors ideas 54._ critical reading demands that a reader makes judgments about what he or she reads.this kind of reading requires posting and answering questions such as “55._“do i share the authors point of view？”and “am i convinced by the authors arguments and evidence？”adoes my own experience support that of the author?breaders choice is one of the most popular magazines in the world.cbut has not yet made a critical evaluation of those ideas.dthe book contains many types of selections on a wide variety of topics.eto scan is to read quickly in order to find out specific information.fdo i know about the author?gwhen there is no time to read something carefully.短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)last week，i met a stranger who seemed to be losing. i offered to guide him to the place he wanted to go to，but to my surprise，he refused my offer to helping.i asked him why not.he told me that he was afraid i would ask him money if i helped him in this way.then i fell into deep thoughts: was it money which came between us？i agree that money is become more and more important in our society，and it should not be everything.we should try my best to help others and trust each other.if everyone does this, our society will be better and better.书面表达(满分25分)皮革马利翁效应说了“暗示”的作用，暗示在本质上是人的情感和观念不同程度地受到别人下意识的影响，人们会不自觉地接受自己喜欢、钦佩、信任和崇拜的人的
