The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the If All of Seattle Read the Same Book project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the One Book, One Chicago program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.41. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.42. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A. They had little interest in reading.B. They were too busy to read a book.C. They came from many different backgroundsD. They lacked support from the local government43. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large communities with little sense of unityB. In large cities where libraries are far from homeC. In medium-sized cities with a diverse populationD. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached44. The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean A. exchanged ideas with each otherB. discussed the meaning of a wordC. gamed life experience D. used the same language45. According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by A. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from reading.D. the number of books that each person reads.BMany parents have learned the hard way that what sounds like open communication is often the very thing that closes a youngsters ears and mouth. One common mistake is the Lecture, the long monologue that often starts with “When I was your age.” Eighteen-year-old Kelly calls lectures “long, one-side discussions in which I dont say much.”Kids reflexively（条件反射地） shut down in the face of a lecture. Their eyes glaze over（呆滞）, and they dont register any incoming information. Listen to 13-year-old Sarah describe her least favorite times with her mom and dad. “First, they scream. Then comes the Were so disappointed speech. Then the I never did that to my parents lecture begins. After that, even if they realize how ridiculous they sound, they never take it back.”Lines like “When you have children of your own, youll understand” have been seriously said by parents since time immemorial. But many of our expert parents, like Bobby, a registered nurse and mother of three, feel that by falling back on clichs（陈词滥调） to justify our actions, we weaken our position.Since kids are creatures of here and now, the far-off future has no relevance to them. Therefore, good communicators like Bobby suggest, “Give specific reasons for your actions in present language: Im not letting you go to the party because I dont think there will be enough adult supervisions（监护）.”46. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. compare two ways of parents communicating with their kidsB. give parents advice on how to communicate with their kidsC. explain why kids wont listen to their parents.D. introduce kids reaction to the communication between them and their parents47. Which of the following statements is NOT right?A. Kids wont listen to their parents because they think what their parents say is boring.B. Many kids think they have no right to express their own opinions.C. Some kids think their parents should apologize when they are wrong.D. Kids dont like any discussion at all.48. What does the underlined word in the first paragraph mean?A. 独白 B. 对话 C. 插话 D. 讨论49. Which of the following topic may appeal to kids?A. Parents own experience B. Kids possible life in the future C. Something related to kids present life D. What parents have done to their own parents.50. In order to make kids follow their advice, parents should_.A. tell their kids to listen carefully B. set out their warnings directlyC. list out as many examples as possible D. arouse kids desire to express themselvesCWe keep reading that TV is bad for you. If this is true, how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are? In my home, the only people who can work the remote control are the children. Perhaps TV does educate you. For example, you learn a useful medical fact: A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies. “The killer was” (dies)But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights. Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas. And contrary to what scientists say, the crack(霹雳) of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time, wherever you are.Ive even acquired useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: Aliens speak English no matter which planet they come from.Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security. Consider these truths. If you are ever attacked by 20 bad guys, dont worry about being outnumbered. The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all. Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women.TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn. (1) If anyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. (2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you.Be warned, however. If your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you. But dont be anxious: TV also delivers useful information for bad guys. All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage except police cars. TV even teaches us about TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.51. By saying “A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies” (Paragraph 2), the writer shows his_.A. humorB. sympathy C. deep concernD. medical knowledge 52. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that in the real world_.A. bad things cause people to break down in the rainB. bad things never happen on dark and stormy nightsC. people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellasD. the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash dont happen at the same time53. On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on?A. The news shown is always about someone the person knows. B. The person always turns off the TV when its time for news.C. The program shown is always about the importance of TV.D. TV always shows news about famous people.54. Whats the main idea of this passage?A. Life skills can be learned from TV.B. TV plays an important role in society.C. Watching TV makes people more creative.D. What happens in TV is very different from reality.55. The writer of this passage takes a(n) _ attitude towards TV plays. A. positive B. casualC. negativeD. indifferent DMANILA, Philippines (AP) Villagers and veteran hunters have captured a one-ton saltwater crocodile which they plan to make the star of a planned ecotourism park in a southern Philippine town, an official said Monday.Mayor Edwin Cox Elorde said dozens of villagers and experts captured the 21-foot (6.4-meter) male crocodile along a creek in Bunawan township in Agusan del Sur province after a three-week hunt. It could be one of the largest crocodiles to be captured alive in recent years, he said, quoting local crocodile experts.Elorde said the crocodile killed a water buffalo in an attack witnessed by villagers last month and was also suspected of having attacked a fisherman who went missing in July.He said he sought the help of experts at a crocodile farm in western Palawan province.We were nervous but its our duty to deal with a threat to the villagers, Elorde told The Associated Press by telephone. When I finally stood before it, I couldnt believe my eyes.After initial sightings at a creek, the hunters set four traps, which the crocodile destroyed. They then used sturdier traps using steel cables, one of which finally caught the enormous reptile late Saturday, he said.About 100 people had to pull the crocodile, which weighs about 2,370 pounds (1,075 kilograms), from the creek to a clearing where a crane lifted it into a truck, he said.The crocodile was placed in a fenced cage in an area where the town plans to build an ecotourism park for species found in a vast marshland(沼泽地) in Agusan, an impoverished region about 515 miles (830 kilometers) southeast of Manila, Elorde said.It will be the biggest star of the park, Elorde said, adding that villagers were happy that they would be able to turn the dangerous crocodile from a threat into an asset.Despite the catch, villagers remain cautious because several crocodiles still roam the outskirts of the farming town of about 37,000 people.They have been told to avoid venturing into marshy areas alone at night, Elorde said.56. What can we infer from the passage?A. The villagers captured the crocodile by chance.B. The crocodile the villagers have captured is the largest crocodile captured in recent years.C. The tow
