25、 well with your classmatesDWhether rich or poor, parents who have books in the home increase the level of education their children will attain, according to a 20-year study led by Mariah Evans.For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor(预示物) of attaining high levels of education was ha
26、ving parents who were highly educated. But, the study showed that the difference between being raised in a bookless home compared to being raised in a home with a 500-book library has as great an effect on the level of education a child will attain as the difference between having parents who are ba
27、rely literate (有文化的) and having parents who have a university education.Being a sociologist, Evans was particularly interested to find that children of lesser-educated parents benefit the most from having books in the home. What kinds of investments should we make to help these kids get ahead? The r
28、esults of this study indicate that getting some books into their homes is an inexpensive way that we can help these children succeed. Evans said, Even a little bit goes a long way. Having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on motivating a child to a higher level of educati
29、on, and the more books you add, the greater benefit the children get.”The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on childrens educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents, the fathers occupation or the economic level o
30、f the country.Having books in the home is twice as important as the fathers education level, and more important than whether a child was brought up in a developing country or a developed country. Surprisingly, the difference in educational attainment for children born in developed country and childr
31、en born in developing country was just 2 years, less than two-thirds of the effect that having 500 or more books in the home had on children.33. In the past educators held a point of view that _ .A. children whose family had a library would possibly attain high levels of educationB. children who wer
32、e born in poor families studied harder than those in rich familiesC. children whose parents are highly educated would attain high levels of educationD. parents level of education had nothing to do with their childrens levels of education34.

D，考查上下文串联。根据第一句可知很多人只是想通过电话了解你，你们也许从来都没见过面，只是通过电话交流。accept接受，notice注意到，hear听见、听说，meet遇见。42. A， 考查
55、动词短语。他们对你的了解来自于电话，因为你们之间的距离通常非常遥远，甚至在千里之外。move语义搭配符合语境。43. B， 考查上下文串联。虽然你们之间的距离很远，但是他们只要通过你的声音，就可以了解你。上下文之间是转折关系，所以使用副词yet串联前后语义。故B正确。44. C， 考查副词辨析。副词rather相当地；also也；just只是；already已经；本句使用just表示强调，别人只要通过声音就可以了解你。故C正确。45. A， 考查上下文串联。根据26空后“only by phone”可知本文介绍的是电话，人们可以通过电话了解你。故A正确。46. D， 考查上下文串联。形容词di
56、rect直接的；useful有用的；easy容易的；accurate准确的；本空前的but说明上下文之间是转折关系，电话虽然很强大，但是也并不是很准确。与ABC三项语义不搭配。故D正确。47. A， 考查介词辨析。介词in person亲自，by myself靠自己；in public当众；on purpose故意地；A项与空前的faceless形成呼应，Rain是代理人，但是我们从来没有碰过面。故A正确。48. A， 考查上下文串联。空前的cold voice可知Rani在电话里的声音很冷漠，和让我很不高兴，甚至想过要另外找一个代理人。说明我对他的声音很反感。故A正确。49. C， 考查上下
57、文串联。动词promote提拔；train训练；find寻找，找到；know知道；正是因为Rani的声音让我很不舒服，所以我曾经想过另外找代理人取代他。故C正确。50. D，考查动词辨析。动词arrange安排，postpone推迟，confirm确认，book预定。因为家庭中的紧急事情我要立刻预定回家的航班。51. A， 考查介词短语。短语for the first time第一次，at any time随时，from time to time时而、in good time不时，及时、迅速。因为情况紧急，所以我第一次亲自来到Rani办公室。52. B，考查动词辨析。动词expect期待、预料
58、，see看见，test检测，avoid避免。看到了我的着急，Rani非常同情我，给了我安慰的笑容。53. B， 考查形容词辨析。形容词shy害羞的；comforting安慰的；familiar熟悉的；forced被迫的；她看到我很着急，笑着安慰我。故B正确。54. C， 考查上下文串联。根据30空可知我要预定回家的航班的机票，本句中Rani很快帮我把机票打印出来。故C正确。55. C， 考查上下文串联。副词hopefully充满希望地；disappointedly感到失望地；gratefully感激地；regretfully遗憾地；对方如此迅速地帮我把机票打印出来，而且一直面带微笑，这让我心存
59、感激。故C项正确。56. D， 考查上下文串联。形容词careful细心的；serious严肃的，认真的；nervous紧张的；pleasant令人愉快的；现实生活中的Rani富有同情心，待人热情大方。是一个令人愉快的相处对象。所以当我转身时，看见的是与电话中完全不一样的Rani。故D项正确。57. D， 考查上下文串联。现实生活中的她是如此的体贴大方，而我之前却认为她很冷漠，甚至有了要另找代理的想法，我真是无话可说。说明电话中得到的印象有时很不准确。故D项正确。58. B， 考查上下文串联。在文章28空前“cold”以及前句“.she was cold”之前我因为Rani很冷漠，但却没有想到
60、实际生活中的Rani是如此的美好善良。故B项正确。59. C， 考查名词辨析。名词forgiveness谅解；eagerness急切；friendliness友好；skillfulness熟练；从52-54空内容可知Rani对我非常友好善良，并没有电话中的那种冷漠的感觉。故C项正确。60. B， 考查名词辨析。名词explanation解释；attitude态度；concept概念；behavior行为；Rani的善良友好的态度并没有从电话线中传递过去。B项指Rani接待我的友好的态度。IV. 61. greater62. achievement63. is64. on 65. as66. s

Whenever I need help, my mother is always there for me.She often tells me that I can be anyone I want, as long as Im confident of myself.She sees my talent and pushes me to do the best I
75、possibly can. As I was growing up, we were often on the move.I had to admit that moving so often made me feel lonely.But my mother did everything she could to help me feel happy. In fact, so much traveling was really a good thing because it made us close. I respect my mother so much as she never treats me as a child, but as an equal. She gives me the freedom to make mistakes and to learn from them all. Unlike friendships that can fade or break, I know Ill always be connected to my mother no matter what I face. She is not just a role model, but someone I love.
