True reading is not just passing our _7_ over words on a page, or _8_ information, or even understanding what is being read.True reading is a _9_ act. It means seeing first, and then using the _10_. Higher reading ought to be a new subject.As we read, we should try to get something new.I meet people in all _11_ of life, and most known in the fields of literature and science, who, though professionals, do not _12_ read what is in front of them.They only read what is _13_ known to them.I suspect this is happening now, even as you read this _14_.All our innovations (革新), our discoveries, our _15_ come from one source: being able first to see what is there, and what is not; to hear what is said, and what is not; but also to think clearly.1A.technicalBimportantCserious Dcommon2A.afford BtellCrepeat Dask3A.attend BenterCleave Denjoy4A.learning BworkingCliving Dthinking5A.art BthemeCidea Dstyle6A.listening BspeakingCreading Dpassing7A.lips BarmsChands Deyes8A.gathering BdeliveringCsending Dpassing9A.native BcreativeCdetective Dsensitive10A.appreciation BimaginationCpresentation Dinstruction11A.walks BkindsCsides Ditems12A.generally BobviouslyCactually Ddeliberately13A.even BforeverCstill Dalready14A.topic BpageCsubject Dbook15A.creativity BpossibilityCprogram Dproject.语法填空(共10小题，满分15分)Juana _1_ (invent) a number of things over the years.One day, she had _2_idea for a dishwashing machine that worked without using water.

I was struck by her talent, fresh charm and innocence the moment I caught sight of her. She was, and remains, a gifted actress and a good human being.It is not for me to judge Ms Lohans choices, or whether fame has been less than kind to her, but I have been greatly saddened by the way the media have chosen, with all gloves off and seemingly going with what could please them, to record her efforts and failures. She is a sentient (能感知事物的) human being, not a thing, not a product, not anything else to be sold.Charles McGrath makes several attractive points in his news analysis about the public demand which is impossible to satisfy, in a 24/7 news cycle forever changed by the Internet, to gossip about, and give nearly complete access to, celebrity or famous persons lives. Perhaps people do feel better knowing that wealth and fame do not lead to a perfect life for everyone. Perhaps we admire famous people only to reject them without any pity or mercy when their behavior disappoints us.I find it ironic (讽刺的) that Ms Lohans decision to pose for Playboy for a monetary reward is considered to be morally questionable, while journalists and photographers gain profit by writing about and capturing images of her and other famous people.Perhaps when reporting on and reading about famous people who have lost their way, we will remember that those people are also very human people who, like us, make mistakes, endure misfortune and have a chance in spite of media coverage to begin a completely new life tomorrow.ILENE STARGERBrooklyn1What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?ALindsay Lohan became an actress at the age of 11.BLindsay Lohan is generally a good person.CLindsay Lohan used to be a good woman.DLindsay Lohan once starred in The Parent Trap.2This letter was written mainly to tell the editor that _.Athe public should bear famous peoples mistakesBthe public should be especially strict with famous peopleCthe media shouldnt only satisfy the publics demands Dnobody can get both wealth and fame at the same time3What can we infer from the passage?AWhy a Fallen Angel Is a Centerfold was not received well by the public.BCharles McGrath believes wealth and fame cant give a perfect life to anyone.CMany people as well as the media show much mercy to Lindsay Lohan.DCharles McGrath is the author of Why a Fallen Angel Is a Centerfold.4What happened to Lindsay Lohan according to the passage?AShe made Charles McGrath angry as she didnt respect him.BShe refused the directors invitation to star in a movie.CShe made money in a way considered to be a little shameful.DShe has not been so innocent or lovely as she was before.5According to the author, the media should _.Alead the public to make honest money Brespect the publics choice in their personal lifeCconsider famous people to be ordinary peopleDmake money only by writing reportsB(2013广东启恩中学模拟)A Swedish man who spent two months snowed inside his car as temperatures outside dropped to minus 30 degrees is “awake and able to communicate”， according to the hospital treating him. Amazed doctors believe he was kept alive by the “igloo (用冰块或坚厚雪块砌成的拱形圆顶小屋) effect” of his car.The man, reported to be Peter Skyllberg, 44, who was found off a snowfilled forest road in northern Sweden on Friday, told police he had been in the car for two months since December 19 without food, surviving only by eating a little snow and staying inside his warm clothes and sleeping bag.Dr Ulf Segerberg, the chief medical officer at Norrlands University Hospital, said he had never seen a case like it. The man had probably been kept alive, he said, by the natural warming qualities of his snowcovered car which would have acted as “an igloo”. “This man obviously had good clothes; hes had a sleeping bag and hes been in a car thats been snowed over，” said Dr Segerberg. “Igloos usually have a temperature of a couple of degrees below zero and if you have good clothes you would survive in those temperatures and be able to preserve your body temperature.”“Starvation for one month, anyone can tolerate that if they have water to drink，” Segerberg said, “If you have body fat, you will survive even longer.”Mr Skyllberg was found very weak by a pair of passersby who thought they had found a crashed car. They dug down through about a meter of snow to see its driver lying on the back seat in his sleeping bag, according to Ebbe Nyberg, a local police officer. “They were amazed at what they found: a man in his mid40s huddled (蜷缩) in a sleeping bag, starving and hardly able to move or speak，” Mr Nyberg said.One doctor, Stefan Branth, said Mr Skyllberg may have survived by going into hibernation mode (冬眠模式), “a bit like a bear”6Whats the main idea of the text?AA Swedish man survived in a snowcovered car for two months.BHow a Swedish man spent two months in heavy snow.CHow a Swedish man was saved from heavy snow.DA Swedish man took part in a medical experiment.7It can be learned from the text that Mr Skyllberg _.Ahad a car crash in the snowBgot lost in a snowfilled forestClived only on cold snowDwas an overweight man8According to Dr Ulf Segerberg, Mr Skyllberg could survive mainly because _.Ahe had speciallymade clothesBhe went into hibernation modeChe stayed in his carDhe built an igloo9Who found Mr Skyllberg trapped in the snow?AHis family.
