First of all, I respected his 23 to teaching. Because his lectures were always well-prepared and clearly delivered, students crowded into his classroom. His followers liked the fact that he 24 what he taught. Furthermore, he could be counted on to explain his ideas in an 25 way, introducing such aids to 26 as oil paintings, music, and guest lecturers. Once he 27 sang a song in class in order to make a point clear. 28 , I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them 29 the telephone. Drinking coffee in the caf, he would easily make friends with students. Sometimes he would 30 a student to a game of chess. 31 , he would join student groups to discuss a variety of 32 : agriculture, diving and mathematics and so on. Many young people visited him in his office for 33 on their studies; others came to his home for social evenings. Finally, I was 34 by his lively sense of humor. He believed that no lesson is a success 35 , during it, the students and the professor 36 at least one loud 37 . Through his sense of humor, he made learning more 38 and more lasting. If it is 39 that life makes a wise man smile and a foolish man cry, 40 my friend is indeed a wise man.21AAlthoughBWhenCEven ifDNow that1,3,522AespecialBspecialCcommonDparticular23AattentionBintroductionCrelationDdevotion24Ainsisted onBtalked aboutCbelieved inDagreed with25AimaginativeBordinaryCoppositeDopen26AlisteningBunderstandingCinformationDdiscovery27AalsoBnearlyCevenDonly28ALaterBSecondlyCHoweverDTherefore29AwithBbyCfromDon30AinviteBleadCpreferDshow31ALater onBIn generalCOther timesDAs a matter of fact32AquestionsBsubjectsCmattersDcontents33AsupportBexplanationCexperienceDadvice34AdisturbedBmovedCattractedDdefeated35AforBuntilCsinceDunless1,3,536AhearBsuggestCshareDdemand37AlaughBcryCshoutDquestion38AhelpfulBenjoyableCpracticalDuseful39AnaturalBnormalChopefulDtrue40AsoBforCthenDyetIII：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）1)阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项AThat afternoon Molly almost danced along the street, as she walked home with her father from the station. They had seen Mrs. Gibson and Cynthia off to London. She wished her stepmother would take herself off to London much more often.“Well now, Dad.” she said, “Im going to have you all to myself for a whole week. You must be very obedient (服从的；听话的).” “I hope you arent going to boss me, Molly. Youre walking me out of breath already. We mustnt pass Mrs. Goodmays in our hurry.” They crossed the street to speak to Mrs. Goodmays, one of the doctors patients. “Weve just been seeing my wife and daughter off to London. Theyve gone up for a week.”“Dear me, to London, and only for a week!” said Mrs. Goodmays, with surprise. “It seems hardly worth the packing. Itll be lonely for you, Molly, without your stepsister.”“Yes,” said Molly, suddenly feeling as if she ought to have taken this view of the case. “Ill miss Cynthia.”“And you, Dr. Gibson, I hope you wont feel like widower (鳏夫) once again. You must come and have supper with me one evening. What about Tuesday?”Dr. Gibson felt a sharp blow on his leg from the toe of Mollys shoe, but even so he accepted the invitation, much to the old ladys satisfaction.A moment later Molly said to him, “How could you go and waste one of our precious evenings! Weve only got five now. Ive been planning all sorts of things for us two tonight.” “What sort of things?”“Oh, I dont know. Things you used to like.” She looked at him fearlessly. “Forbidden things now.”Her fathers eyes lit up, but his face remained serious. “Im not going to be pulled down, Molly. With hard work and sensible guidance Ive reached a very height of civilized behavior, and there Im going to stay.”“Oh, no, you are not. Were having bread and cheese for supper tonight, in armchairs in front of the TV! And you shall wear your dressing-gown at breakfast tomorrow and every morning for a week! And you shall read the paper at the dining table! Thats only a start. I havent finished by a long way yet.”41.From the underlined sentence in the 4th paragraph, we can know that Mrs. Goodmays thought _.A. Mr. Gibson should have gone with themB. Mr. Gibson would be a widower againC. Mrs. Gibson should stay in London longerD. Mrs. Gibson should have taken Molly with them42. From the passage we can be certain that _.A. Mrs. Gibson is strict with her husband and daughtersB. Mrs. Gibson has no children of her ownC. Mrs. Gibson never treated Molly wellD. Mr. Gibson is not satisfied with his present life43.When Molly kicked her father, _.A. she wanted him to turn down the invitationB. she meant she didnt expect the return of CynthiaC. it seemed to have been a pure accidentD. it showed she was pleased to have been invitedBChildren start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; theres no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your childrens curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that weve finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, dont jump in with “Thats right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “Thats interesting” or “Id never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.Never push a child to “think”. It doesnt make sense. Children are always thinking, without your telling them to. Whats more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.Lastly, show; dont tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜), and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.44According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is _.Ato let them see the world aroundBto share the childrens curiosityCto explain difficult phrases about scienceDto supply the children with lab equipment45In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word “lists” could best be replaced by _.Aany questions Bany problemsCquestions from textbooksDany number of questions46According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults _.Aask them to answer quicklyBwait for one or two seconds after a questionCtell them to answer the next dayDwait at least for three seconds after a question47In which paragraph(s) does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion?AThe second and third.BThe fourth and fifth.CThe fifth and sixth.DThe seventh.48The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their childrens curiosity except that adults should _.Atell their children stories instead of reciting factsBoffer their children chances to see things for themselvesCbe patient enough when their children answer questionsDencourage their children to ask questions of their ownCQuestions are based on the following advertisements:1Media DirectorJob Code: A 05 010 Posted: Mar. 13Salary: $90,000 S 120,000Location: Irving TXEmployer: Michaels Stores Inc.Type: Full Time ExperiencedDescription:The Media Director is responsible for managing the Media Department.

Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institutes of Architects.Located on the shore of Sullivans Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolinas shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement (强制执行) of building laws wasnt strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Huffs opinion, all new shoreline houses should meet stricter, better-enforced building laws. The new beach house on Sullivans Island should be able to stand a Category (级) 3 hurricane with the strongest winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.At first sight, the house on Sullivans Island looks anything but hurricane-proof (防风). Its redwood shell makes it look like “a large party lantern” at night. But looks can be cheating. The houses wooden frame is extra strengthened with long steel bars. To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on a wooden structure set deep in the sand. The structure might appear unsafe, but it is strong enough to support the weight of the house. It can also lift the house above storm waves. The structure allows the waves to run under the house instead of running into it. “These waves come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings,” said Huff.Huff designed the wooden structure to be partially hidden under the houses ground-to-roof shell (外壳). “The shell covers the structure so that the house doesnt look like its standing with its pant legs pulled up,” said Huff. “In the event of a storm, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house,” the architect explained. 53.After the Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolinas shoreline are required _. A. to be easily reinforcedB. to look smarter in design C. to meet stricter building rulesD. to be designed in the shape of cubes54.The award-winning beach house is quite strong because _. A. it is strengthened by steel barsB. it is made of redwoodC. it is in the shape of a shellD. it is built with wood and concrete55.Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground in a wooden structure in order to _.A. stand strong winds of about 200 km/hrB. build a strong structure deep in the sandC. break huge waves into smaller onesD. prevent water from rushing into the house56.The main function of the shell is _.A. to strengthen the structure of the houseB. to give the house a better lookC. to protect the wooden frame of the houseD. to slow down the speed of the strong waves57. It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be _.A. fancy-lookingB. waterproofC. easily breakable D. extremely strongEA new idea called “business at the speed of thought” is quite popular in our business world. It makes quick marketing progress, but it also presents a terribly dangerous way to run a company. Herere the main points: The businesses today that will succeed are those able to jump around in high spirits. Chances must be seized immediately and decisions made quickly. Everyone needs more immediate answers, and the window of expected response to any questions has dropped from weeks to days even to hours.The problem with this way of thinking is that too ofte
