阅读理解。        Some people have the feeling that nothing can be done about their poor reading ability. They feel
hopeless about it. Can you learn to read better, or must you agree that nothing can be done about it?
        To be sure, people are different. You cannot expect to do everything as well as certain other people
do. If all the students in a class tried out for basketball, some would be very good players; others would
be very poor; and many would be in between. But even the very poor players can become much better
players if they are guided in the right way, and with plenty of practice. It is the same with reading. Some
seem to enjoy reading and to read well without any special help. Others find reading a slow and tiring job.
In between, there are all degrees of reading ability.
        Many experiments have shown that just about every poor reader can improve his reading ability. In
these experiments, the poor readers were given tests of reading ability. After some of the causes of their
reading were discovered, they were given special instruction and practice in reading. After a few months,
another test of the same kind was given. In nearly all cases, these people had raised their reading scores. 1.With the example of basketball players, the author shows ________. A. why certain people are poor readers
B. that there are differences in people’s abilities
C. why some people are good basketball players
D. that good basketball players can be good readers 2.To improve their reading ability, people should ________. A. work long and hard
B. take different forms of tests
C. have special help and practice
D. try different reading materials 3.The experiments mentioned in the text show that ________. A. good readers seem to enjoy reading
B. almost all poor readers can make progress
C. causes of poor reading were difficult to find out
D. tests help people improve their reading ability 4.What does the underlined sentence “many would be in between” mean?A. It means that many are the best basket players.
B. It means that many are the worst basket players.
C. It means that many are standing in the middle of the line.
D. It means that there are several levels of players in many students.5.What’s the purpose of the author’s writing this passage?A. To encourage people to improve their reading ability.
B. To suggest that readers should do practice only in reading.
C. To tell us that readers can’t improve their reading ability without special help.
D. To tell us that to be a good reader, one should be guided in the right way.

阅读理解。        A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same
words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better
to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the
time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
        A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad
thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have
read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think,
some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises(出现)
from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into
the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
        There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true,
that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond
of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such
people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were
sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or
covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.
        No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believe
d that it was.1. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _______.A. repeated without any change
B. treated as a joke
C. made some changes by the parent
D. set in the present 2. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _______.A. in a realistic setting          
B. heard for the first time
C. repeated too often        
D. told in a different way h3. The advantage claimed(提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _______.A. makes them less fearful
B. develops their power of memory
C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of
D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs 4. The author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _______.A. fairy stories are still being made up
B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales
C. people try to modernize old fairy stories
D. there is more concern for children"s fears nowadays 5. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.A. they are full of imagination
B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth
C. they are not interesting
D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach

语法填空阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空,并将答案填写在标号为1-10 的相应位置上。      In order to know a foreign language completely, four things are necessary. Firstly, we must understand the language when we hear    1   spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves correctly
with    2   (confident) and without hesitation. Thirdly, we must be able to read the language, and fourthly,
we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are    3   (grammatical) correct.

not enough only    6   (memorize) rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long
lists of words and their meanings,    7   (study) the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the
