Graham found a 34 way. She decided that she would do what painters did to 35 their mistakes paint over them. She took her water-based paint to work, 36 a brush. She always made sure the paint matched the 37 of paper she was typing on.Her boss never 38 the mistakes. When another secretary asked for some of her 39 correcting liquid, Graham found a bottle at home, wrote Mistake Out on a label, and gave it to her. 40 all the other secretaries in the building wanted some, too.By 1956, Grahams invention became so 41 that she turned her kitchen into a laboratory and made bottles of “Mistake Out” using her electric mixer.

The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check this in a dictionary.51.According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A. Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English.B. Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries.C. Small two-language dictionaries have serious shortcomings.D. Reading something for the first time, youd better not use dictionaries.52.This passage mainly tells us .A. that students shouldnt use small two-language dictionariesB. what were the shortcomings of small two-language dictionariesC. why students should use large college edition dictionariesD. what dictionary students should choose and how to use it53.Which is NOT mentioned in this passage?A. How to make good use of a dictionary. B. When to use a dictionary.C. How to improve spoken English. D. How to practice reading fast.BWhen she looked ahead, Florence Chadwick saw nothing but a solid wall of fog. Her body was numb(全身麻木). She had been swimming for nearly sixteen hours. Already she was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. Now, at age 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast.On that fourth of July morning in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so dense she could hardly see her support boats. Sharks cruised toward her lone figure, only to be driven away by rifle shots. Against the cold sea, she struggled on - hour after hour - while millions watched on national television.Alongside Florence in one of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement. They told her it wasnt much farther. But all she could see was fog. They urged her not to quit. She never had until then. With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out.She told a reporter hours later, Look, Im not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it. It was not tiredness or even the cold water that defeated her. It was the fog. She was unable to see her goal.Two months later, she tried again. This time, despite the same dense fog, she swam with her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it! Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel, eclipsing(超出) the mens record by two hours!54.Florence Chadwick was the first woman to swim across _.A. the English Channel B. the Catalina ChannelC. the California coast D. Catalina Island55.Florence failed on her first trial mainly because of _.A. the sharks B. the tiredness C. the cold water D. the bad weather56.The underlined word “then” in this passage refers to the period when _.A. she had swum nearly sixteen hours B. sharks swam toward herC. she couldnt see her support boats D. millions of people watched her on TV57.We can infer from the passage that it was _ that resulted in her success.A. her familys encouragement B. her iron will C. her swimming skills D. the good weatherCThe Museum of Childhood is spread over 4 floors, with the first floor acting like a balcony around the edge of the building, so you can look down over the ground floor central hall with the shop, Information Desk and Benugo Caf.The museum of Childhood is housed in a large Victorian building in east London. It has been on this site since 1872. It has undergone refurbishment (翻新) and reopened in 2020 and an elevator now makes all floors accessible.This is not a quiet place and children are allowed to have fun here. Child safety is extremely important and a member of staff remains by the front door at all times. Also, note the “Code of Behavior” notice, which includes: children under 12 must be supervised by an adult; no eating in the galleries and no running.Toy exhibits are in glass cases and there are plenty of low-level exhibits for younger children to see. The glass cases have lots of thought-inspiring questions on them to encourage discussion between adults and children. When you or the children need some quiet time, there are sofas at either end of the second floor with reading books available.Pros: Many free activities for kidsCons: Can be too warm insideVisit Duration: 1.5 hoursOpening Hours: 10:00 a.m. 5:45 p.m. Last admission is 5:30 p.m.The Museum is closed on 25 and 26 December and 1 January every year.Admission: Admission the Museum is free. There is a small charge for some activities.58.In the Museum of Childhood, _.A. people can reach any floor by elevator B. there are sofas at either end of the first floorC. there are exhibits on the museum history D. the Information Desk can be found on each floor59.The Museum of Childhood may be attractive to _.A. parents who only have children under 12 B. children who are fond of toy exhibitsC. parents and children who need quiet time D. kids who like playing games with their parents60.What is the disadvantage of the museum?A.

Children are allowed to enter after 5:30. D. The museum is unavailable on Christmas Day.DA quick look at the lengths of childrens index and ring fingers can be used to predict how well students will perform in education tests, new research claims.Kids with longer ring fingers compared to index fingers are likely to have higher math scores than literacy or verbal scores in the entrance exam for primary school, while children with the reverse finger-length ratio are likely to have higher reading and writing, or verbal, scores versus(与.相对) math scores.Scientists have known that different levels of the hormones testosterone(雄性激素)and estrogen (雌性激素) in the womb(子宫) account for the different finger lengths, which are a reflection of areas of the brain that are more highly developed than others, said psychologist Mark Brosnan of the University of Bath in Britain, who led the study.Exposure to testosterone in the womb is said to promote development of areas of the brain often associated with spatial(空间的) and mathematical skills, he said. That hormone makes the ring finger longer. Estrogen exposure does the same for areas of the brain associated with verbal ability and tends to lengthen the index finger relative to the ring finger.To test the link to childrens scores on the Scholastic Assessment Test, Brosnan and his colleagues made photocopies of childrens palms and measured the length of their index and ring fingers. They used the finger-length ratios as a proxy(参照指标) for the levels of testosterone and estrogen exposure.The researchers then looked at boys and girls test performances separately and compared them to finger-length ratio measurements. They found a clear link between high prenatal testosterone exposure, indicated by the longer ring finger compared to the index finger, and higher scores on the math SAT.Similarly, they found higher literacy SAT scores for the girls among those who had lower prenatal testosterone exposure, as indicated by a shorter ring finger compared with the index finger.62.Its likely that if a Chinese child with a longer index finger than his ring finger, he will probably get good marks in _.A. mathB. physicsC. chemistryD. Chinese63.The underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph Two probably means_.A. similar B. opposite C. indifferent D. strange64.What can make your index finger longer than your ring finger according to the research?A. Estrogen.B. Testosterone. C. Vitamin.D. Vegetables.65.Which of the following statements is NOT correct in the passage?A. A child with a longer index finger than his ring finger will fail in the math exam.B. Girls with shorter ring fingers get higher literacy SAT scores.C. Kids with longer ring fingers are likely to have higher math scores.D. The length of the finger has something to do with hormones.第二节: 任务型阅读Phyllis、Chris、Dora、Fred 和William 准备去市图书馆查阅资料。第66 至夜70 题是他们各自的情况介绍。阅读下面六本参考书的简介(A、B、C、D、E 和F)，选出符合各人需要的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。_ 66.
