flowers. our car was full of flowers inside! on the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf. it stood outside a furniture（家具）shop. “buy it,” she said at once. “well carry it home on the roof-rack（车顶架）. ive always wanted one like that.” what could i do? ten minutes later i was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof rack. it was tall and narrow, quite heavy too. as it was getting darker, i drove slowly. other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. the police even stopped traffic to let us through. carrying furniture was a good idea. after a time my wife said, “theres a long line of cars behind. why dont they overtake（超车）?” just at that time a police car did overtake. the two officers inside looked at us seriously when they went past. but then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. the police car stopped at our village church. one of the officers came to me. “right, sir,” he said. “do you need any more help now?” i didnt quite understand. “thanks, officer,” i said. “youve been very kind. i live just down the road.” he was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. “well, well,” he said and laughed. “its a bookshelf youve got there! we thought it waser, something else.” my wife began to laugh. suddenly i understood why the police drove here. i smiled at the officer. “yes, its a bookshelf, but thanks again.” i drove home as fast as i could.58.why were the police and other drivers so kind to the writer? a. because they thought the writer liked studying very much and needed a bookshelf. b. because they didnt think it was polite to overtake a car with a bookshelf on it. c. because they thought somebody in the writers family had died and he needed help. d. because they thought it was dangerous to carry a bookshelf on a car.59.why did the writers wife begin to laugh? abecause now she knew what mistake the police had made. bbecause at last the police had driven to the church. cbecause the officer was always looking at the flowers and the bookshelf. dbecause the police had helped them a lot. b laptop computers are popular all over the world. people use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. these laptops connect people to their workplace. in the united states today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms. westlake college in virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. the laptops are part of a10 million computer program at westlake, a 110-year-old college. the students with laptops will also have access to the internet. in addition, they will be able to use e-mail to“speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. however, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. they can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all! because of the many changes in computer technology , laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. as laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. in addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the internet, but also libraries and other resources. state higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. state officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too. at westlake college, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. the laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. as one westlake teacher said,“ here we are in the middle of virginia and were giving students a window on the world. they can see everything and do everything.”60. the main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to _. a. use for their schoolwork b. access the internet c. work at home d. connect them to libraries61why is the word “speak” in the second paragraph in quotation marks(引号)? a. they dont really talk. b. they cant speak in public. c. laptops have speakers. d. they use body language 62. which of the following is true about westlake college? a. all teachers use computers anytime. b.1500 students have laptops in one year. c. it is an old college in america. d. students there can do everything.63. a window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can _. a. attend lectures on information technology b. travel around the world c. get information from around the world d. have free laptopsc when a “boss child” doesnt learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. the overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. it can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways. “i see more and more parents giving up their power,” says barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years. “they bend too far because they dont want to be as strict as their own parents were. but they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. their kids, in turn, feel more anxious.”67bossy children may probably become .arelaxedbskillfulchesitantdlonely dthere are many types of reports. a report is simply an account of something that has happened. the commonest are news reports. we get them in themselves, over radio and on television. sometimes cinemas also show us newsreels. the main purpose of a newspaper is to provide news. if you examine a newspaper closely, you will find that there are all types of news: accidents, floods, fires, wars, fashions, sports, books, etc. the news covers everything that happens to people and their surroundings. sometimes there are news items which are very amusing.a news report is usually very short, except when it is about something very important, but it contains a lot of information. it is also written in short paragraphs; the first paragraph is in fact a summary of the news item. it gives all the necessary information, what, when, where, how and why. the other paragraphs give full details of the subjects. there may also be interviews with people. the words actually spoken by them are within inverted commas. often there are photographs to go with the news to make it more interesting.68. the easiest way to get todays news is .a. to go to the cinema b. to watch a color tvc. to read todays newspaper d. to listen to the music over radio69. newspapers sell well mainly because .a. they cost very little b. they are easy to getc. they have got pictures to go with the newsd. they provide all sorts of news in them70. if you want to get enough information about yesterdays traffic accident within a very short time, youd better .a. read the first paragraph of the news report in todays newspaperb. start from the second paragraph of the news report in todays newspaperc. look through the whole news report in todays newspaperd. talk with people who have seen the accident71. to interest more people, a news reporter .a. usually produces amusing news b. always writes very short news reportsc. often prints pictures to go with the news d. sometimes provides long and important newsegrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. a man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. he can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. he can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. a mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins twinkle, twinkle, little star or remember the story of cinderella or goldilocks and the three bears. one explanation is the law of overlearning , which can be stated as follows: once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it. in childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. we continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales such as cinderella and goldilocks. we not only learn but overlearn.the multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.the law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. by cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. a little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.72. what is the main idea of paragraph i?a. people remember well what they learned in childhood.b. children have a better memory than grown-ups.c. poem reading is a good way to learn words.d. stories for children arc easy to remember.73. the author explains the law of overlearning by_.a. presenting research findingsb. selling down general rulesc. making a comparisond. using examples74. according to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_.a. a result of overlearningb. a special case of crammingc. a skill to deal with math problemsd. a basic step towards advanced studies75. what is the authors opinion on cramming?a. it leads to failure in college exams.b. its helpful only in a limited way.c. its possible to result in poor memory.d. it increases students learning interest.第三部分（共35分）第一节 任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） everybody in this world wants to
