Reading prehension (30%)(30 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is

26、followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions56 to 60 are based on the following pa

27、ssage.Research shows that the average high school student will study four hours per week for any major test. The oute of this four hours of study varies from an A to an F, which means that in high school grades are strongly determined by intelligence since everyone studies the same amount of time.Bu

28、t college is different. Most of the students are highly intelligent and each has plenty of time for self-study. To score high on any test, a college student has to work hard and, probably more importantly, know how to use his or her time most efficiently. The problem is that your study habits formed

29、 in high school may make you unable to study well in college because you have never e*perienced what it takes to perform at the college level. That is why the freshman year is the hardest year for all college students.Based on my e*tensive observation of student performances on college tests, I reme

30、nd the following study time per test: 6 hours per week for an A, 4 hours for a B, 3.5 hours for a C, 2.5 hours for a D and 0 hours for an F. An hour of study is defined as studying for 45 minutes and a break of 15 minutes. Ten hours of continuous study without a break is defined as one hour of study

31、. The brain does not process and store information the way students prefer studying. Occasionally, some succeed by studying at the last minute, but they are e*ceptions to the rule.Research also suggests that the slowest 10 percent of the students may need 5 to 6 times as much time to learn the same

32、material as the fastest 10 percent. Each person is very likely to have strengths and weaknesses. Overing your weakness increases your strength.According to the writer, the reason why high school students get different test results is that _.some students have good study habits while others do not so

33、me students work harder than the rest of themtheir intelligence varies from person to persontheir teachers teach them in different waysThe freshman year is considered the hardest for all college students because _.they feel worried among so many intelligent peoplethey are too an*ious to score high o

34、n all teststhey dont know yet how to study at the college levelthey have to take a lot of courses at the same time In order to study efficiently, the writer suggests that one should _.spend 10% of his time on the most difficult subjectsset aside 1/4 of the studying time for breaktake a one-hour rest

35、 after 10 hours of studystudy 6 hours and then take a good rest What takes the fastest students to learn in one hour may take the slowest students _.3 hours2 hours4 hours5 hoursFrom the way this passage is written, it can be concluded that the writer is most probably _.a high school teachera college

36、 studenta high school studenta college teacherPassage 2Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.A soap is a popular television drama serial连续剧about the daily lives and problems of a group of people. The stories make viewers laugh, cry and wait to see what happens ne*t. Thus, viewers wou

37、ld e.For some soap fans, it is like the end of the world when Another World ends after 35-year run. Thats because soaps these days cant satisfy devoted viewers. Altogether, daily viewers have decreased from 69.6 million to 48.8 million since 1991. For instance, ABCs All My Children drew 8.3 million

38、in 1991, now 4.5 million.One reason is that soaps are difficult in an era marked by various electronic games. Girls who used to watch daytime dramas with their mothers now go to their rooms where they can watch cable on their own TV set, or play video games, or wander on the Internet. Besides, the a

39、udience was too old, at 47 on average. TV stations have to get the right viewers because women, from 18 to 49, have the ine to buy the things pushed by advertisers. Its gotten to the point where its financially driven.But networks arent about to drop soaps, as long as advertisers like them so much.

40、Its very efficient and cheap to spread heavily a number of ads. On the other hand, theres not much to replace them. Talk and other shows have a bad record, and they dont reach a concentrated female audience. The channels believe that they will attract younger viewers, the ne*t generation of soap wat

41、chers, by starring new characters and putting in fresh blood into plot情节lines. Theres no secret.

44、 real.The main idea of the passage is about _.the present condition and prospect of soapssoaps decline in viewersprofits brought by soaps through advertisementsa brief history of soaps developmentPassage 3Questions66to70 are based on the following passage.My grandson, Daniel, and I have always been

45、very close. When Daniels father remarried after a divorce, Daniel, who was eleven, and his little sister, Kristie, came to live with us. My husband and I were more than happy to have kids in the house again. Things were going along just fine until the diabetes( 糖尿病) Ive lived with most of my adult l

46、ife started affecting my eyes. And then more seriously, my kidney(肾), Then everything seemed to fall apart. Three times a week, I had to go to the hospital to be hooked up to a dialysis machine(透析机.). I was living, but I couldnt really call it a life - it was an e*istence. I had no energy. I dragged

47、 myself through my daily chores (家庭杂事) and slept as much as I could, My sense of humor seemed to disappear. Daniel, seventeen by then, was really affected by the change in me. He tried as hard as he could to make me laugh, to bring back the grandma who loved to clown around(开玩笑) with him. Even in my

48、 sorry state, Daniel could still bring a smile to my face. But things were not improving. After a year on dialysis, My condition was deteriorating(恶化)and the doctors felt that if I didntreceive a kidney transplant withinsi* months, I would surely die.Ne one told Daniel this, but heknew - he said all

49、 he had to dowas rock after me, To top it off(更糟糕的是), as my condition worsened, there was a chance I would bee too weak to have the transplant surgery at all, and thenthere would be nothing they could do for me. So we started thetense and desperate wait for a kidney. I was adamant坚决的) that I didnt w

50、ant a kidney from anyone I knew. I would wait until an appropriate kidney became available, or I would literally die waiting. But Daniel had other plans. Thetime that he took me to my dialysis appointments, he did a little secret research on his own. Then he announced his intentions to me. Grandma,

51、Im giving you one of my kidneys. Im youngand Im healthy. He paused. He could see I wasnt at all happywith his offer. He continued, almost in whisper, And most of all, Icouldnt stand it if you werent around. His face wore an e*pressionof appeal mi*ed with determination. He can be as stubborn as amule

52、(像骡子一样固执) once he decides on something - but Ive beentold many times that I can out-stubborn any mule! We argued. I couldnt let him do it. We both knew that if hegave up his kidney, hed also give up his lifes dream: to play football. That boy ate, drank and slept football. It was all he ever talkeda

53、bout. And he was good, too. Daniel was co-captain and star defensive tackle( 防守阻截队员 ) of his high school team; he e*pected toapply for a football scholarship and was looking forward to playingcollege football. He just loved the sport. How can I let you throw away the thing that means themost to you

54、I pleaded with him. Grandma, he said softly, pared to your life, football means nothing to me. After that, I couldnt argue anymore. So we agreed to seeif he was a good donor(;4,-) match, and then wed discuss it further. When the tests came back, they showed Daniel was a perfectmatch. That was it. I

55、knew I wasnt going to win that argument, sowe scheduled the transplant. Both surgeries went smoothly. As soon as I came out ofthe anesthesia(麻醉), I could tell things were different. I felt great!The nurses in the intensive care unit had to keep telling me to lieback and be quiet I wasnt supposed to

56、be that lively! I was afraidto go to sleep, for fear I would break the spell (破除魔法) and wakeup the way I had been before. But the good feeling didnt go away and I spent the evening joking and laughing with anyone who would listen. It was so wonderful to feel alive again ! The ne*t day, they moved me

57、 out of ICU and onto the floor where Daniel was recuperating( 复原 ) three doors away. His grandfather helped him walk down to see me as soon as I was moved into my room. When we saw each other, we didnt know what to say. Holding hands, we just sat there and looked at each other for a long time, overw

58、helmed by the deep feeling of love that connected us. Finally, he spoke. Was it worthwhile, Grandma I laughed a little ruefully(懊悔). It was for me! But was it for you I asked him. He nodded and smiled at me. Ive got my grandma back. And I have my life back. It still amazes me. Every morning, when I

59、wake up, I thank God - and Daniel for this miracle. A miracle born of the purest love. 66.
