There is a story told about how Neil set about winning over one particular boy. The boy was always causing trouble and clearly regarded all teachers 36 a hostile eye. On one occasion, Neil, out taking a 37 , had just rounded a corner when he came across the boy playing on his own. The boy, not noticing he was no longer 38 , picked up a stone and threw it through one of the school windows. Turning, he saw Neil. Instead of finding himself 39 at angrily as he expected, the boy was 40 to see Neil bend down, pick up a stone and hurl it at another window. The boy had to 41 to get the window repaired, so did Neil. 42 he thought this a small price to pay for 43 a bond between himself and the boy, whose 44 improved

afterwards.

Neil was a remarkable character who knew just when to be 45 and just when to adopt a lighter touch when handling children. Not everyone is so 46 . Willie Russell, the 47 , likes to talk about the time when he had freshly 48 from teacher training college and had just begun to work as a teacher. On his first day at the school he was left to do playground duty on his own, rather a(n) 49 experience for one so new to the job. Surrounded by children at morning break, he turned to see one of the children throwing a stone at a school window. When the boy saw that he had been 50 by a teacher, his face fell. 51 for this boy, Russell remembered the story about Neil. Stooping down he picked up a stone and propelled(投掷) it through another window. Turning to smile proudly at the boy his satisfaction was suddenly shattered by the sound of dozens of windows being 52 by flying stones.

Unfortunately he had failed to take into account the difference between his 53 and the one which Neil had faced, namely that he and the boy were not alone. It was at this point in his career that Russell decided that perhaps he was not quite cut out to be a teacher. Deciding after this that he was not suited to teaching he left to 54 playwriting. Most of his plays are very imaginative and 55 . A bit like this story, in fact.

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

该项涂黑。

A

A month after Hurricane Katrina, I returned home in New Orleans. There lay my house, reduced to waist-high ruins, smelly and dirty.

Before the trip, I’d had my car fixed. When the office employee of the garage was writing up

the bill, she noticed my Louisiana license plate. “You from New Orleans?” she asked. I said I was, “No charge,” she said, and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet. The next day I went for a haircut, and the same thing happened.

As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage（抵押贷款）on our ruined house. We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory. We’d begun to accept that we’d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while, when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kennedy in California. He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for Slate, the online magazine, and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”) a new house across the lake from New Orleans.

It sounded too good to be true, but I replied, thanking him for his exceptional generosity, that we had no plans to go back. Then a poet at the University of Florida offered to let his house to me while he went to England on his one-year paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kennedy, and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months.

Throughout this painful experience, the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity. It’s almost worth losing your worldly possessions to be reminded that people are really nice when given half a chance.

56. What do we know about James Kennedy?

A. He was a writer of an online magazine.

B. He was a poet at the University of Florida.

C. He offered the author a new house free of charge.

D. He learned about the author’s sufferings via e-mail.

57. It can be inferred from the text that ______.

A. the author’s family was in financial difficulty

B. rents were comparatively reasonable despite the disaster

C. houses were difficult to find in the hurricane-stricken area

D. the mortgage on the ruined house was paid off by the bank

58. The author learned from his experience that ______.

A. worldly possessions can be given up when necessary

B. generosity should be encouraged in some cases

C. people benefit from their sad stories

D. human beings are kind after all

B

Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, rough movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate(凝视). Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time of which the eyes stop ---the duration of the fixation ----varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.

Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for,

say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.

59. The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts EXCEPT________ .

A. one’s familiarity with the text

B. one’s purp ose in reading

C. the length of a group of words

D. lighting and tiredness

60. The author may believe that reading ______.

A. requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation

B. requires a reader to see words more quickly

C. demands a deeply-participating mind

D. demands more mind than eyes

61. What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?

A. The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.

B. The r eading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see and to comprehend words.

C. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading.

D. The reading exercises mentioned have done a great job to improve one’s a bility to see words.

62. What is the writer’s attitude in writing this passage?

A. critical

B. neutral

C. pessimistic

D. optimistic

C

The spectacular Victoria Falls links two countries, Zimbabwe and Zambia. It was discovered by David Livingstone in November 1855 and is known in the local language, as Mosi-oa-tunya, “the smoke that thunders”. It was Livingstone who named Victoria Falls after his Queen and stated in his own famous diary entry--- “Angels in their flight must have gazed.”

Adventure sports and a range of accommodation

The rustic（乡村的）Victoria Fall town--- just ten minutes from the Fall, and on the outskirts of the Zambezi National Park--- has all facilities necessary to act as a base for exploring the region. Accommodation is plentiful--- from low budget campsites to luxury hotels.

And across the border in Livingstone, Zambia, visitors will find a town suitable for the adventure sports enthusiasts with lots of travel and adventure sports companies.

Victoria Bridge--- the third highest Bungee jump in the world

At a height of 364 feet, the Victoria Falls Bridge, completed in 1905, is the world’s third highest Bungee jump, though the scream factor is arguably the loudest, making it a great draw-card for adventure sports enthusiasts. While dropping into the abyss (深渊), you will be blasted with spray from the thundering Victoria Falls, and then jerked (猛烈) back to reality within inches of the swirling eddies (漩涡) of the Zambezi below.

How to enjoy the Victoria Falls Experience--- take to the sky’s and the water

Anyone can pay an entrance fee and walk around the ridge of Victoria Falls and take some

good pictures to send home, but to truly experience the size and scope of the spray, you ’ve got to get airborne, and there are options--- tame and a little wild: fixed wing planes, helicopters, microlights.

River Rafting, in many shapes and sizes, is conducted on both sides of the Zambezi River, in Zimbabwe and Zambia below Victoria Falls.

63. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The introduction to the adventure sports at Victoria Falls.

B. The description of the beauty of Victoria Fall.

C. The development of the adventure sports in this region.

D. The introduction to the options of accommodation in this region.

64. What does David Livingstone think of Victoria Falls by saying “Angels in their flight must have gazed.”?

A. Quite mysterious.

B. A bit dangerous.

C. Amazingly beautiful.

D. Out of reach.

65. The author believe that the best way to experience Victoria Falls is______________.

A. on foot

B. by Bungee jump

C. by air

D. by river rafting

= Victoria Falls

= Victoria Falls town

=

Zambezi National Park

Everyone knows we must exercise regularly to maintain good health. Indeed, staying physically fit is a big part of our culture. We consider (and rightly so) that healthy people are attractive people. Since most of us want to be attractive, there is no shortage of exercise clubs, training videos, magazines, and books offering to help us stay physically fit.

Unfortunately, however, our culture does not place the same emphasis on mental fitness. Although we admire and love men and women with strong and healthy-looking bodies, we don ’t have the same degree of respect or attraction for smart, educated and mentally healthy people. This is a shame, because there are immense rewards for people who have developed the ability to think well.

If your mind is well trained and flexible, you will be able to understand a great deal of what happens around you. And if you are also well educated--- that is, if you understand basic science, mathematics, music, art, literature, history and so on--- you will find it much easier to make good decisions throughout your life. Over the long run, this leads to a sense of control over your destiny and a much better life than otherwise.

People who are poorly educated or who don ’t think well--- that is, people who are not
