But farming has always been difficult in the northeastern corner of the country, which is called New England.New England has many trees and thin, rocky soil. Anyone who has wanted to start a new farm there has had to work very hard. The first job has been cutting down the trees. The new job has been digging out the roots of the trees. Then the farmer has had the difficult job of removing stones from his land. This work of removing stones never really ends, because every winter more stones appear. They come up through the thin soil from the rocks below. Farmers have to keep removing stones from the fields. Even today, farms which have been worked on for two hundred years still keep producing more stones. That is why stone walls are used instead of fences (篱笆) in New England fields. The stone walls are not high and a man can easily climb over them. However, they keep the farmers cows from joining those of his neighbors.41. Where is New England? A. In England. B. In North America. C. In South America. D. In Australia.42. Why do stones keep appearing?A. Because the farmers keep digging them out.B. Because there are rocks below the soil and the soil is too thin.C. Because there are no trees at all.D. Because the wind keeps blowing. 43. Why do the farmers build stone walls instead of fences?A. Because the stone walls are not high and a person can easily climb over them.B. Because the stone walls can stop the cows from joining their neighbors.C. Because there are too many stones. D. Both A and B.44. Which of the following is NOT true? A. There are almost no trees in New England. B. Farming is difficult in New England.C. Its difficult for farmers to remove stones from the fields. D. The stone walls in New England are not high.BYou do not need every word to understand the meaning of what you read. In fact, too much emphasis (强调) on separate words both slows your speed and reduces your comprehension. First, any habit which slows down your silent reading to the speed at which you speak or read aloud, is inefficient. If you point to each word as you read, or move your head, or form the words with your lips, you read poorly. Less obvious habits also hold back reading efficiency (效率). One is saying each word silently by moving your tongue or throat; another is hearing each word as you read. These are habits which should have been outgrown long ago. The beginning reader is learning how letters can make words, how written words are pronounced, and how sentences are put together. Your reading purpose is quite different, which is to understand meaning. It has been supposed that up to 75% of the words in English sentences are not really necessary for expressing the meaning. The secret of silent reading is to find out those key words and phrases which carry the thought, and to pay less attention to words which exist only for grammatical completeness. An efficient reader can grasp the meaning from a page at least twice as fast as he can read the page aloud. He takes in a whole phrase or thought unit at a time. If he “says or hears words to himself, they are selected ones, said for emphasis.45. This passage is mainly about _. A. improving eye movement B. reading more widely C. changing poor reading habits D. reading as fast as you can46. Saying each word to yourself as you read _. A. improves comprehension B. increases reading speed C. gives too much emphasis D. reduces reading efficiency47. Your reading purpose should be _. A. to understand all the words B. to make fewer eye movements C. to understand meaning D. to understand the grammatical structures48. While reading, efficient readers usually _. A. move their eyes quickly B. take in whole phrases or thought units C. point at key words D. read only important points for speed CAll her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all things clean and tidy.You could turn your back for a moment in my mothers house, leave a half written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had put it back where it belonged. as she explained.My wife, on one of her first visits to my mothers house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused (疑惑的), she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better.These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有.的倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find the every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. Do you remember what I was doing? was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.49. Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?A. She enjoyed removing others drinks. B. She became more and more forgetful.C. She preferred to do everything by herself.D. She wanted to keep her house in good order.50. My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mothers house because _.A. she had already finished themB. my mother had taken them awayC. she forgot where she had left themD. someone in my family was holding them51. The underlined part to the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister _.A. is happy to clean windowsB. loves to clean used windowsC. is fond of clean used windowsD. likes clean windows as my mother did52. This passage mainly tells us that _.A. my mother often made us confusedB. my family members had a poor memoryC. my mother helped us to form a good habitD. my wife was surprised when she visited my motherDIf your mother wants to tell you something, she uses words. Birds cannot talk as we do. But some birds can make sounds to warn their young of danger.The jackdaw is a kind of blackbirds that lives in Europe. Jackdaws live together. Young jackdaws do not know their enemies. When an older jackdaw sees a dog, it makes a loud rattling sound. The younger birds know this sound means danger is nearby. The sound warns them to know their enemiesIf a young jackdaw is in a dangerous place, a jackdaw parent flies over him from behind. The parent bird flies low over the young birds back. The parents tail feathers move quickly from side to side, trying to express, “Follow me.” At the same time, the parent calls out, “Key-aw, key-aw. ”The parent mean, “Fly home with me.” The young bird then follows the older one home. Young jackdaws do not have to learn what certain sounds mean. They know the meaning of these sounds from the time they hatch（孵出）.53The jackdaw lives in .AEuropeBAustraliaCAmericaDAfrica54Which of the following does this story lead you to believe?AAll animal parents can talk to their young.BDogs are the most dangerous enemies for jackdaws.CYoung jackdaws know the meaning of their parents sound when they grow older.DSome birds can give information to one another.55Parent jackdaw can use their tail feathers to .Aask their young to follow themBplay a game with the young Ctell the meal timeDgive a warning of a fire第二节：任务型阅读：阅读下面的短文并从方框中的 A-F 中为每段文字选出最佳标题，在答题卡上将对应的选项涂黑。其中有一项选择是多余的。（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分）A.
