I"ve tried to explain compound interest to my eight - year - old daughter. When I have finished it, she summarizes back to me, "So, you are saying if I put $ 100 in the bank, when I turn sixteen the bank will give me $ 200?" She has already grasped more of the concept than I understood at her age, but she couldn"t clearly understand that until she sees them in action.
One day I gave her a Ziploc bag with a handful of pennies and told her over the course of a week I wanted her to give me a penny a day. I would deposit the penny in " The Bank of Dad" and compound interest would begin to accumulate the day she deposited the penny. At the end of the week we would check her bank balance.
Each day my daughter handed over one penny at the breakfast table and I deposited it in her bank. I gave her a "receipt" for her deposit and explained that she needed to keep up with the receipts to see how much money she had added to her account. In an effort to make this a little more realistic, I deposited a penny from my own piggy bank every other day to give her an additional four pennies at the end of the week.
On Sunday evening we gathered receipts and confirmed she had deposited seven pennies in "The Bank of Dad. " Then I opened the old film container and counted out its contents—all eleven pennies. "Hey, there are four extra pennies in there!" I explained that her original seven pennies had grown to eleven pennies because every couple days the bank paid her a penny for letting them use her money—that"s interest. She paused and asked, "Dad, what would happen if you deposited like a hundred million pennies in the bank?

题后的字数要求)Brockingham is run by people who are more interested in tourists than its residents．By banning all fast-food restaurants and discount stores，they take away all the places kids can afford to shop．
These people forget that when they were young，they could go to the South Street Soda Fountain and get an ice．cream soda for 25 cents．Today you can’t find an ice-cream soda anywhere in Brockingham for less than $2 1 Where can kids go for a snack?
There is not a single restaurant in Brockingham where a family of four can eat dinner for less than $100．Add a 15％tip and sales tax and you have spent nearly $125 to eat a meal you could prepare at home for about $12．Have you noticed that Brockingham families never dine in Brockingham?
Fast．food restaurants are also a good place for school kids to get an after-school job．Fast-food restaurants are the busiest during the
early supper hours when students are able to work , whereas the fancy food restaurants cater to late-night diners. Working in one of these establishments requires
working shifts that are too late for most 
students. The City Council claims that local merchants，rather than national chains，should benefit from the tourist business．I agree that it is important to support local businesses，but I think the fast-food restaurants would encourage more people to shop in Brockingham．Another thing is that we must travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store．If I need a tire for my bike，I have a choice of buying one at Surf and Peddle Sport Shop for $15 or driving to Parkersburg Discount Center where I can buy th
e same kind of tire for $9．Again，I think the ban on all food chains and discount houses is counterproductive for our city． 76．List three reasons why the writer supports fast-food restaurants．
①____________________________________________________________________________
②____________________________________________________________________________

79．Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?

A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features(特定 )as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there in and out glancing at one piece reading another article all the way through , reading just a few paragraphs of the next.A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性 ) , its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的 ) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper . For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.

第二节（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。
| A．How a good teacher acts in class |
| B．Acting: natural expression of fixed words and movements |
| C．Teaching: a student-centered creative process |
| D．Similarities between teaching and acting |
F. A good teacher, not necessarily a good actor
61. ____________________________
To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear.
62. ____________________________
Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit unmoved before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, his hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feeling. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note if his voice always changes according to what he is talking about.
63. ____________________________
The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, and even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.
64. ____________________________
A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
65. ____________________________
As a good teacher presently, you must take your audience as your friends, take care of them, help them and give them enough freedom and space. I have known many teachers who are fine actors in class but are unable to take part in a stage play because their brains can’t keep discipline: they cannot keep strictly to what another has written.
