The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people' s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading. My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label （标识）, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted. As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie' s self-confidence, which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before. As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did. 31. What did the author do last summer? A. She worked in the supermarket. B. She helped someone to learn to read. C. She gave single mothers the help they needed. D. She went to a training program to help a literacy volunteer. 32. Why didn't Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first? A. Because she liked to walk to the supermarket. B. Because she lived far away from the bus stop. C. Because she couldn't afford the bus ticket. D. Because she couldn't find the right bus. 33. How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket? A. She knew where the goods were in the supermarket. B. She asked others to take her to the right place. C. She managed to find the goods by their looks. D. She remembered the names of the goods. 34. Which of the following statements is true about Marie? A. Marie could do things she had not been able to do before. B. Marie was able to read stories with the help of her son. C. Marie decided to continue her studies in school. D. Marie paid for her own lessons. B Mosquitoes(蚊子) are very important in human history. The Guinness Book of Records says that mosquitoes have caused over 50 per cent of all human deaths since the Stone Age, excluding deaths from war and accidents! Mosquitoes are found all over the world. Female mosquitoes usually feed on the blood of humans and animals. Mosquitoes often carry dangerous disease called malaria, which usually occurs during hot, rainy season. If a mosquito feeds on the blood of a person with malaria, it becomes a carrier of the disease. It injects the disease into the next person it bites. So, for example, a tourist could be infected with malaria during a visit to Indonesia. The same tourist might then visit Thailand where another mosquito may bite him. This mosquito could then bite another person and spread the disease. People have used insecticides to kill mosquitoes and their eggs for a long time, but many insects are now resistant to these chemicals. This resistance is a big problem for doctors because it can stop the prevention and treatment of malaria. Also, several of the drugs which doctors use to prevent malaria do not work anymore because mosquitoes are resistant to them. Experts now believe that the world will never be free of malaria, so they tell people to protect themselves from the disease. If you think that you have malaria, see a doctor immediately. Without treatment, malaria kills over 25 percent of its victims in a maximum of two weeks. After treatment, mosquitoes that bite you will not pass malaria on to other people. Although doctors can treat malaria victims, you must remember: prevention is better than cure. 35. Which of the following is the correct order for the spreading of malaria? a. A mosquito bites the person with malaria. b. The same mosquito bites another person. c. A person is infected with malaria. d. That person may be likely to be infected, too. A. a-b-c-d B. a-c-d-b C. c-a-b-d D. c-a-d-b 36. We could draw the conclusion that the best way of fighting against the spread of malaria is . A. prevention B. treatment C. seeing a doctor immediately D. blood-test 37. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. We will surely get rid of mosquitoes in the near future. B. It's believed that malaria will accompany human beings forever. C. Insecticides are always effective in killing mosquitoes. D. A mosquito can not pass the disease on to another person after it bites one with malaria. C The third-generation hybrid rice which was developed by Yuan Longping, the “father of hybrid rice”, and his team underwent its first public yield（产量）monitoring from Monday to Tuesday and achieved high output. The final yield of the tested variety, G3-1S/P19, came to 1046.3 kg per mu (about 667 square meters), based on two plots of land in Qingzhu Village under the city of Hengyang in central China’s Hunan Province. “Some previous high-yielding hybrid rice varieties in China took 160 to even 180 days from sowing to harvesting, while the figure was shortened to around 125 days for the new variety. This is one of the most important characteristics of the third-generation hybrid rice that can reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers, thus reducing cost and improving production efficiency.” said Qian Qian, the deputy director of the China National Rice Research Institute. Unlike the previous two generations that required a large amount of water and fertilizers as well as demanding growing conditions and technological support, the third-generation hybrid rice is easier to be cultivated（种植）by ordinary farmers. So the soil, altitude and climate of the test site were not “ideal conditions” carefully selected beforehand but were close to the paddies of ordinary farmers. Nowadays, China’s average yield of rice is about 500 kg per mu. Ordinary farmers can produce 600 kg to 700 kg of rice per mu by growing some excellent second-generation hybrid rice varieties. However, under the same planting conditions and environment, the yield of the third-generation hybrid rice could reach 800 kg per mu. China now feeds around 20 percent of the world’s population with less than 9 percent of the world’s arable（可耕种 的）land. At present, Yuan’s team has nine third-generation hybrid rice combinations under trial, which are expected to achieve commercial seed production in the following three to four years and hope to apply the technology into the research of sea rice. The third-generation hybrid rice has the comprehensive strength to promote a greener and more sustainable development of China’s rice production with higher quality and yield. 38. What feature of the new hybrid rice does Qian Qian mainly talk about? A. It saves a lot more water. B. It achieves a higher yield. C. It saves much more farmland. D. It has a shorter growing period. 39. Why is the new hybrid rice not tested in ideal areas? A. The ordinary farmers master planting technology. B. The researchers want to reduce the experiment cost. C. The growing conditions the new hybrid rice needs are simple. D. The previous rice farming provides researchers with experience. 40. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The high output of the third-generation hybrid rice. B. The promising future of the new hybrid rice variety. C. The advanced technology of the research on hybrid rice. D. The differences between the three hybrid rice varieties. 41. Which one could be the best title of the text? A. The Development of China’s Rice B. The Contribution of the Great Scientist C. The High Yield of the New Hybrid Rice D. The Way to Feed the World’s Population D Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee（裁判）and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don't care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn't seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself. Grown-ups can hardly find children's games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught. It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win. 42. What is true about children when they play games? A.The can stop playing any time they like. B.They can test their personal abilities. C.They want to pick a better team. D.They don't need rules. 43. To become a leader in a game the child has to .A.play well B. wait for his turn C.be confident in himself D. be popular among his playmates 44. What do we know about grown-ups? A. They are not interested in games. B. They find children's games too easy. C. They don't need a reason to play games. D. They don't understand children's games. 45. Why does a child like playing games? A. Because he can be someone other than himself. B. Because he can become popular among friends. C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games. D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选 项中有两项为多余选项。 Giving advice is not one of the easiest tasks.

You could even take the opportunity to ask someone who's more knowledgeable for advice. Think about the results of taking your advice and not taking your advice. If there's no obvious difference between the results, your advice might not be bad, but it's not useful either. 49 Be honest. If your advised course of action has possible problems, tell the person about them. 50 Your goal should not be to blindly lead the person, but rather to help him or her make a good decision, so don't act like a salesman. A．Listen to the person asking you for advice. B．Take time to think about the issue if you can. C．Try to imagine yourself in the other person's situation.
