阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 ait was the afternoon of december 24, the day before christmas; and as the newest doctor in our office, i had to work. the only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow i was dating- a dozen long-stemmed red roses.as i was cleaning my office, our receptionist came and said there was a lady in the front office that urgently needed to speak with me. as i stepped out, i noticed a young, tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms. nervously, she explained that her husband-a prisoner in a nearby prison-was my next patient. the guards were scheduled to bring him to the office that afternoon. she told me she wasnt allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son. her request was for me to let the boys father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before i called him for his appointment. since my schedule wasnt full, i agreed. after all, it was christmas eve.a short time later, her husband arrived with chains on his feet and hands, and two armed guards as bodyguards. the womans tired face lit up like our little christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her. i kept glancing out to watch them laugh, cry and share their child. after almost an hour, i called the prisoner back to my office. while i worked, the guards stood just outside my door. the patient seemed like a gentle and modest man. i wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions. i tried to make him as comfortable as possible.at the end of the appointment, i wished him a merry christmas-a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison. he smiled and thanked me. he also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadnt been able to get his wife anything for christmas. on hearing this, i was inspired with a wonderful idea.ill never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful, long-stemmed roses. im not sure who experienced the most joy-the husband in giving, the wife in receiving, or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment.56what can be inferred from the first paragraph? athe writer was a newcomer to her office.bshe was in low spirits because she had to work before christmas. ca fellow sent her a dozen red roses as christmas present.dshe was at work with a light heart.57the young woman came to the writers office for the purpose of _. ahaving her baby examined bgiving her husband a chance to make his escapecgetting a chance for her family to get together dhaving her husband examined 58the underlined part in paragraph 3 most probably means “_”. ato be sent to hospital bto become a prisonercto be comfortable dto be separated from his family59what does the writer learn from the story? athe wife experienced the most joy in receiving.bwhoever breaks the law should be punished.cthe prisoner was treated with mercy. dan act of kindness can mean a lot.b today well talk about readingwhen we read a text，our eyes move across a page in short，quick movementswe recognize words usually when our eyes still fixate(停留，凝视)each time they fixate，we see a group of wordsthis is known as the recognition span or the visual spanthe length of time for which the eyes stop varies from person to personit also varies within any person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the textin addition，it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.unfortunately，in the past，many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the pageas a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading，many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to see more words at one fixationfor example，in some exercises，words are flashed on to a screen for a tenth of a secondone of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point，taking in the words on either sidesuch word patterns are often formed in the shape of pyramids，so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive（连续的）fixationall these exercises are very clever，but its one thing to improve a persons ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between wordsconsequently，for these reasons，many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training，especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated(孤立的)words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text 60.the time of the recognition span can be affected by the following factors except _.a. the length of a group of words b.1ighting and tirednessc. ones purpose in reading d. ones familiarity with the text61.what does the author mean by the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?a. the ability to see words is not needed for an efficient readingb. the reading exercises mentioned have done a great job so far.c. the reading exercises mentioned are of little help to an efficient reading.d. the reading exercises mentioned can help improve reading.62.the author may believe that reading _.a. requires a reader to take in more words at each fixationb. demands a deeply-participating mindc. requires a reader to see words more quicklyd. demands more eyes than mind63.the tune of the author in writing this text is _a .supportive b. critical c. neutral d. optimisticcshortened library hours for spring breaklibrary hours have been shortened to 7 hours a day （9:00 a.m. 4:00 p.m.）for spring break from march 24 to march 30.coming eventson monday, march 24,

often thought of as passionate people. its often said that they are unemotional, or keep their emotions hidden. emily brontes characters in wuthering heights (呼啸山庄) seem very un-english then, since they are some of the most passionate in literary history.this story is set in the north of england where bronte grew up with her two famous sisters, the well-known charlotte and the lesser-known anne.bronte presents this part of the world as a wild place, with few of the graces of civilization. indeed, one of the novels points is that nature can be as strong a force as civilization.wuthering heights begins with a tale from the past.we hear how mr. earnshaw, father to catherine and hindley, comes home one day from his travels with a child named heathcliff. h
