message.it is a message to follow your heart and search for your dreams.the book is about a young man named santiago who lives in spain and works as a shepherd.he begins to have strange dreams，so he goes to a gypsy to find out what they mean.the gypsy tells him that he needs to go to the egyptian pyramids to find his treasure.of course he does not believe her.but later he meets another person who tells him the same thing.at last santiago decides to give up his life as a shepherd and go to find his treasure.santiago comes into many problems as he goes on his journey.he meets many people and learns a lot along the way.he also learns to listen to and trust the soul of the world.does he ever find his treasure？and why is the book called the alchemist？i cant tell you.you will have to read the book if you want to find out.the alchemist was originally written in portuguese by paulo coelho，a brazilian author.it has been translated into many languages，including，of course，english.it is a good book for people who are learning english because most of the sentences are fairly short and you will recognize a lot of vocabulary.there are definitely words you will not know at first，but with a little patience and study you should be able to finish (and maybe enjoy) the book.and hopefully you will be able to follow your dreams as well.26the author wrote the passage to_.apersuade people to read more english booksbintroduce an interesting book to peoplectell people how the gypsy interprets dreamsdexplain how to read a book in english27we can infer that santiago_.afinds a lot of gold and becomes richblearns a lotclives only in his dreamsdnever comes back to spain28the alchemist was most probably first published in_.aengland bportugalcbrazil dthe us29the author thinks that the alchemist is good for english learners because_.ait is an interesting storybits helpful to find treasurecit is full of mysterydthe language is simple30according to the author，which is important for english learners to read an english book?apatience. bspeed.chard work. ddream.bare you nervous about climbing because you think its too dangerous？do you feel youre not fit enough to climb？do you know how to start climbing?lets consider the idea that climbing is dangerous.being afraid is natural，but if you use suitable ropes and other climbing equipment you will feel completely safe.climbers are usually very careful because they know what they are doing is dangerous.accidents happen，but when they do，they tend to attract a lot of publicity.as a result，people think there are many more accidents than there are in reality.you cannot expect to start climbing straight away.climbing is a challenge and challenges take time.it is necessary first of all that you achieve a good level of fitness.begin as soon as you become interested in climbinggo to the gym，go swimming，take up jogging and continue to do so throughout your training period.discover as much as you can about climbing.visit the library and find books，especially for beginners or buy climbing magazines and look for articles which describe your situation.look up information on the internet.find out about equipment，methods and places to go.next，take a course on a climbing wall.there are plenty of climbing walls all over the country which have trained and qualified people as instructors.call your local leisure centre to find out if there is one in your area.these training sessions are a quick way to get experience and you are likely to meet other beginners.after this，you can do an outside course of joining a club where you can meet climbers of all abilities and eventually join in groupclimbing events.at first you may not understand the importance of a good training period，but after you have completed your first climb and you are standing safely at the top of a rock feeling thrilled，then you will know it was the right thing to do.31the text is probably written by a(n) _.adoctor bexperienced climbercbeginner dfitness instructor32the writer thinks a new climber should _.abegin by becoming fitbmeet the challenges right awaycbe aware of the causes of the accidentsddo enough sports to get interested in climbing33by climbing walls you can _.ajoin a club you likebgain climbing experiencecbecome qualified instructorsdtake part in groupclimbing events34the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably means “_”athe climb bthe trainingcthe equipment dthe achievement35what is the best title for the text?athe dangers of climbingbthe importance of a training periodca way of becoming fitda guide for climbing beginnerscfor me，my great moment came when i actually decided to accept an opportunity to teach english in shanghai.there were times when i almost gave up because of fear.but in the end i came here.last summer，a canadianchinese woman who teaches in shanghai just happened to come to the place where i was working in the seattle area.we talked and i said i had always wanted to teach abroad.she said，“come to our school.”“okay，” i replied，but i wasnt sure if i meant it.we met later for coffee.she answered all of my questions about the school，and gave me the website address and the email address of the person to contact.it took six months for me to finally decide on the job.first of all，in shanghai there are many western places to eat western food and lots of interesting things to do.also，there is a great subway system with directions and stops posted in english.finding your way around is a challenge in a new place.but that isnt hard here.taxis are very cheap；you can always jump in one and get home.there are also a lot of westerners in shanghai，so it is fairly easy to ask for directions.young chinese people are much more likely to speak english and they are wonderfully helpful.i earn almost $1,000 per month and live in a nice rentfree apartment.my biggest expense has been food as i am a vegetarian(素食者)and also on a diet.i still have not got used to the traditional chinese food，but if you like it，youll be in heaven.here i have a good place to live in，new friends，a high salary，and a good job.in the us，getting a job at my age has been next to impossible for a woman.36we can infer that at first the writer _.awasnt interested in teaching abroad at allbwasnt sure whether to accept the job to teach in shanghaicknew she would be popular as a teacher in chinadthought the canadianchinese woman was joking37according to the passage，it seems that _.athere are no good restaurants for the writer in shanghaibthe writer sometimes feels lonely in shanghaicthe writer doesnt like traveling in shanghaidthe writer likes her life in shanghai38what does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to?aliving in a new place.bdealing with a challenge.cfinding your way around.dtaking a taxi.39according to the last but one paragraph，the writer _.ais satisfied with her weightbdoesnt have to pay for rentcdoesnt like eating vegetablesdis crazy about the traditional chinese food40we can infer the writer most probably _.aspends lots of money each monthblived alone when she was in the united stateschad a very good job before she left her countrydfeels happy to have made the decision to teach in shanghaidno poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”，until it has been read aloud by someone，teacher or student.better still，perhaps，is the practice of reading it twice，once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end，so_the_sound_of_the_poem_is_the_last_thing_one_hears_of_it.all discussions of poetry are，in fact，preparations for reading it aloud，and the reading of the poem is finally，the most telling “interpretation” of it，suggesting tone，rhythm，and meaning all at once.hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice，on records or on film，is obviously a special reward.but even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or，best of all，reciting it.i have come to think，in fact，that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it，if there isnt time for both.i think one of our goals as teachers of english is to have students love poetry.poetry is “a criticism of life” “a heightening of life”it also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.i am not saying that every english teacher must teach poetry.those who dont like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.but those，who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature，about its sound as well as its sense，and they must make_room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.41according to the passage，to have a better understanding of a poem，the best way is_.ato discuss it with othersbto analyze it by oneselfcto hear it read outdto practice reading it aloud42the best explanation for the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 should be_.awe should end the analyzing of the poem by reading it aloudbstudents should read the poem at the end of poem classcwe feel the original meaning of the author by hearing the poem read aloud after discussiondsometimes the sound of the poem represents the meaning of it43what does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply (暗示)?athe teaching of poetry should have been much more stressed.bthe teaching of poetry is more important than the teaching of any other subject.cone cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.dpoetry is the foundation of all languages and literature courses.44the underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by “_”abuild a boothbprovide equipmentcleave a certain amount of timedset aside enough space45which is not true of the following according to the passage?aa poem should be discussed or “analyzed”ball discussions of poetry are preparations for reading it aloud.cthe writer thinks reading a poem aloud is much less important than “analyzing” it.dthe writer thinks that teachers must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it while teaching poetry.第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。首先请阅读下列一些电影简介：name：life is beautiful,brief introduction：an italian movie.during world war in italy，guido was a good and kind，cheerful and
