Our bakery bread is delicious

15、without all that effort.”Begging was useless. Moms “no” meant “No!”But several weeks later, opportunity knocked: My parents were going out for the evening.

16、f the eggs, one at a time, with remaining sugar and salt.”We were not good at breaking eggs. I tried to learn from my mother. “Gradually add eight cups of flour. When dough (面团) holds together, squeeze it.”We took turns working like that. “Is the dough holding together?” we asked each other.I rememb

17、ered my neighbors instructions: “If its too sticky, add some flour; if too dry, add water.”We added water. Then more flour. Then more water. By then, the mass of our dough had grown very much.“Place dough on floured surface and squeeze till smooth,” the recipe instructed.We took turns burying our ha

18、nds in the damp dough, pinching, squeezing, and feeling it leak between fingers. “Clean and oil bowl, then return dough to bowl.

For Years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women，but during the 2004 ho

24、liday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women. “It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming”，said Lee Rainie，director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group，which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up w

25、ith men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending. Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic（显著的）increases in the online gift-buying population this time around. However，thr

26、ee-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004They worried about credit card security，or just compared online prices with off-line prices，then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers dont buy online，websites are becoming promotion tools for

31、 to 28 years of reform and opening up. But are we any happier?Various surveys attempt to answer this question. Though experts have presented varying percentages based on different standards, their answers tend to find we are generally happier, and the number of optimists rises each year. The Chinese

32、 Academy of Social Sciences 2006 Blue Book on social progress says 70 per cent of rural and urban citizens surveyed in 2005 reported a feeling of happiness and were optimistic about their futures.But each survey shows a worrisome fact that 10 per cent, at the lowest, of citizens were not content wit

33、h their lives or not hopeful about the future. We cannot be content with the fact that at least 130 million of our countrymen are not happy.Although a sense of happiness remains a luxury（奢望）for many of our countrymen because of poverty, we agree wealth is not the only factor of happiness. For most o

34、f us, except the extremely rich and naturally born optimists, there simply are too many variables (可变物) that may kill the feeling of happiness. These include, but are not limited to, rising housing prices, tight and instable job market, back-breaking schooling expenses and medical bills.The most com

35、mon one, however, is a low sense of security (安全). Some experts pointed that in the low-and-middle income group there was too much uncertainty regarding employment, income, housing, medical situations, and education. How can you feel happy when you always have to prepare yourself for the unexpected?

36、It may be beyond the governments reach, not to mention duty, to guarantee (保证) higher income for every citizen. But it does have a burden to create an environment where all citizens can feel a reasonable level of security.64. From the second paragraph we learn _. A. 70 % of Chinese people feel happy

37、 and optimistic about their futureB. the data and the conclusions of the surveys are the sameC. the surveys about the sense of happiness were carried out in 2006D. the purpose of the surveys is to find out the percentage of rich people65.

40、s. Pretests, drills, tests, and retests. They know that the best way to read a textbook is to look at the questions at the end of the chapter and then read the text quickly for the answers. I believe that my daughter Erica, who gets excellent marks, has never read a chapter of any of her school text

41、books all the way through. And teachers are often heard to say proudly and openly that they teach to the test. Teaching to the test is a curious phenomenon（现象）. Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn, helping students learn them, and then using some methods of assessment（评价） to disc

42、over whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to teach the students in the opposite way. First one looks at a test. Then one chooses the skills needed not to master reading, but to do well in the test. Finally, the test skills are taught. The ability to read or write might

43、suggest the ability to do reasonably well on standardized tests. However, neither reading nor writing develops simply through being taught to take tests. We must be careful to avoid mistaking preparations for a test of a skill with the acquisition（习得）of that skill. Too many discussions of basic skil

44、ls make this misunderstanding because people are tested rather than concerned with the nature and quality of what is taught. Recently, many schools have faced what could be called the crisis of comprehension or, in simple words, the phenomenon of students with grammar skills still being unable to un

45、derstand what they read. These students are quite good at test taking and filling in workbooks. However, they have little or no experience reading or thinking, and talking about what they read. They know the details but cant see or understand the whole. They are taught to be so concerned with grades

46、 that they have no time to think about meaning, and reread things if necessary. 金太阳新课标资源网68. The author mentions Ericas performance in her study in order to show_.A. her cleverness in test taking B. the good way to take tests C. the improper way of teachingD. the best way to read textbooks 69.

47、 of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The teachers are curious about teaching to the test.B. Skills in general are not only useless but often mislead students. C. Ability to read and write has nothing to do with ability to do well in tests. D. Preparations for a test of a skill do n

48、ot mean the acquisition of that skill. 70. In the authors opinion, _. A. some good methods of assessment should take the place of tests B. more attention should be paid to the nature and quality of what is taught C. students should not be concerned with grades but do more reading and thinking D. stu

49、dents neednt learn grammar skills because they are useless for understanding71. By “crisis of comprehension” (in Paragraph 4) the author means many students _.
