阅读理解（满分40分）第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）awhen i was about 12, i had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). wee k by week her list grew: i was very thin, i wasnt a good student, i talked too much, i was too proud, and so on. i tried to hear all this as long as i could. at last, i became very angry. i ran to my father with tears in my eyes. he listened to me quietly, then he asked. “are the things she says true or not? janet, didnt you ever wonder what youre really like ? well, you now have that girls opinion. go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. pay no attention to the other things she said.” i did as he told me. to my great surprise, i discovered that about half the things were true. some of them i couldnt change (like being very thin), but a good number i couldand suddenly i wanted to change. for the first time i go to fairly clear picture of myself. i brought the list back to daddy. he refused to take it.“thats just for you,” he said.“you know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. but you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. when something said about you is true, youll find it will be of help to you. our world is full of people who think they know your duty. dont shut your ears. listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.” daddys advice has returned to me at many important moments. in my life, ive never had a better piece of advice. 21. what did the father do after he had heard his daughters complaint? a. he told her not to pay any attention to what her“enemy” had said. b. he criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings. c. he told her to write down all that her“enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true. d. he refused to take the list and have a look at it. 22. what does “week by week her list grew” mean? a. week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me. b. she had made a list of my shortcomi ngs and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer. c. i was having more and more shortcomings as time went on. d. week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious. 23 why did her father listen to her quietly? a. because he believed that what her daughters “enemy” said was mostly true. b. because he had been so angry with his daughters shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while. c. because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment. d. because he wasnt quite sure which girl was telling the truth. 24. which do you think would be the best title for this passage? a. not an enemy, but the best friend b. the best advice ive ever had c.my father d. my childhoodbthere are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. the information may be kept for days or weeks. however, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. the following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.henning studied how students who are learning english as a second language remember vocabulary. the subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. they represented all levels of ability in english: beginning, intermediate (中等), and native speaking students.to begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in english. following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. each question had four choices. the subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording, some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. for example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.henning found that students with a lower proficiency in english made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. hennings results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.25. which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a. information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.b. long-term memory can be achieved only by training.c. it is easier to test short-term memory than long term memory.d. henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.26. from hennings result we can see that _.a. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsb. advanced students always remember words by their meaningc. it is difficult to remember words that sound aliked. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning27. the word subject in the passage means _.a. memory b. the theme of listening materialc. a branch of knowledge studied d. the student experimented on28. the passage centers on _.a. memory b. two kinds of memory c. short-term memory d. an experiment on student csports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. however, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.some sports are resource-hungry. golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. this causes major environmental effects. for example, in the dry regions of portugal and spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.there are many environment-friendly sports. power walking is one of them that you could take up today. you dont need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you dont have to worry about resources and your purse. simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. if you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. but the final goal should be “green gyms”. they are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. there is no special requirement for you to start your membership. and best of all, its free.29. which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?a. cycling around a lake. b. motor racing in the desert.c. playing basketball in a gym. d. swimming in a sports center.30. what do we know about golf from the passage?a. it is popular in portugal and spain.b. it causes water shortages around the world.c. it pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.d. it needs water and other sources to keep its courses green.31. the author uses power walking as an example mainly because _.a. it is an outdoor sport b. it improves our healthc. it uses fewer resources d. it is recommended by experts32. the author writes the passage to _.a. show us the function of major sportsb. encourage us to go in for green sportsc. discuss the major influence of popular sportsd. introduce different types of environment-friendly sportsdthe surprising experiment i am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you. air pressure is a powerful force. when you swim underwater, you can feel water pushing on your body. the air all around you does the same. however, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. the pressure is caused by a layer (层) of air called the atmosphere. this layer surrounds the earth, extending to about five kilometers above the earths surface.the following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. but make sure that you are supervised (监督), because you will need to use matches. now for the experiment.what you need hard-boiled egg without the shell a bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg a piece of paper a matchmethod1) check that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.2) tear the paper into pieces and put them into the bottle.3) light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.4) quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.resultastonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. but be careful when you handle matches.why it happened？as the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen (air) in the bottle. the egg acts as a scale in the neck of the bottle, so no more air can get inside. this reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. the air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. the outside air presses against the egg, and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! this proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on us.33. why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?a. the bottle could break. b. you need to light the paper with a match.c. the egg needs to be shelled (脱壳). d. the egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.34. how did the egg get into the bottle?a. the oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in. b. it became soft without the shell.c. the neck of the bottle was wide enough. d. the outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.35. the experiment is carried out to prove_. .a. water pushes on your body when you swim underwaterb. the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmospherec. the pressure of air around us has a powerful forced. the air pressure is not equalized around us 第二节 七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） my mother is a diligent and kind woman. she is very busy from morning till night. as a teacher, she works hard. _36_ both my brother and i love her
