19、ll town just outside of Little Rock when he drove by a flower shop. He said to himself, I know what I will do, Ill send Mom some roses.He went into the small shop and saw a young man talking to the clerk.

I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because thats her favorite. He was firm.The clerk
21、looked up at John and was just shaking her head. Something inside of John was touched by the boys voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. John had been blessed in his business, and he looked at the clerk and silently mouthed he would pay for the boys roses.The clerk looked at the young man and
22、 said, OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for six dollars. The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran from the store.

As he waited at the light, he saw the young boy walking down the sidewalk. He watched him cross the street and enter a park through t
24、wo huge gates. Suddenly he realized it wasnt a park. It was a cemetery (公墓). He could see the young man turn there by gate and walk along the fence.The light changed, and John slowly crossed the crossing. He pulled over and on an impulse (冲动之下) got out and began to follow the boy down the fence line
25、. John was on the sidewalk, thirty or forty steps behind the boy, who walked inside the cemetery fence. The young man stopped by a small monument and went on his knees. He carefully laid the roses on the tomb and began to sob. John felt like an intruder but he couldnt leave. He stared at the little
26、boys trembling body and listened to his silent crying.As he cried, he heard the young man speak, Mommy, Oh Mommy, why didnt I tell you how much I love you? Why didnt I tell you one more time?

31、ister on the bank, and of having nothing to do; once or twice she had looked into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversation?”So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she
32、could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain (雏菊花环) would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.There was nothing so very remarkable in that; but when the r
33、abbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across t
34、he field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the bush.The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falli
35、ng down a very deep well.Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything; then she
36、 looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon hooks. She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labeled “ORANGE MARMALADE”, but to her great disappointment it was empty; s
37、he did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it.Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end? “I wonder how many miles Ive fallen by this time?” she said aloud. “I must be getting somewhere near tile, centre of
38、 the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think. I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny itll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think-but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you
39、know. Please, Ma am, is this New Zealand or Australia? And what an ignorant little girl shell think me for asking! No, itll never do to ask: perhaps I shall see it written up somewhere.” Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, when suddenly, thump! thump! Down she came upon a heap of sticks
40、and dry leaves, and the fall was over.46. What kind of books do you think will interest Alice most?A. Books that her sister was reading.B. Books without pictures or conversation.C. Books about white rabbits.D. Books with pictures and conversation.47. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Alic
41、e did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing the white rabbit.B. Alice managed to put the jar back into the shelf.C. Alice ran after the white rabbit across the field out of curiosity.D. The people on the opposite side of the earth walk with their heads downward.48. Which is the right order of

She fell upon some sticks and dry leaves.A. d-c-a-b-e B. d-a-c-b-e C. a-b-e-c-d D. d-c-a-e-b49. From the passage, we can see
43、Alice is a(n) _ girl.A. helpful and friendly B. curious and imaginativeC. brave and curious D. ignorant and pretty50. The paragraph “In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.” can be put between _.A. Paragraphs 1 and 2 B. Paragraphs
44、 2 and 3 C. Paragraphs 3 and 4 D. Paragraphs 4 and 5、任务型阅读（每空一词；每小题1分，共10分）Mountaineers can be a pretty tough crowdand among them the British Joe Simpson has legendary status. In 1985, Simpson set out to climb Siula Grande in South America. Shortly after he reached the peak, Simpson fell through an
45、overhanging ledge of snow and broke his leg. At this altitude a broken leg means almost certain death, but Simpson somehow managed to drag himself across fields of ice and stone until he reached base camp eight kilometers away. He chose immediate goals, such as reaching a nearby rock, and then gave
46、himself a time limit to get there. Over and over again Simpson broke the main task down into smaller goals. Break your main task into smaller goals. This is often the key to a successful plan to achieve challenging objectives that seem to be “mission impossible”.Language learning, similar to mountai
47、n climbing to some extent, is a daunting task facing most language learners. However, learning from the above story, we can apply Simpsons method to language study. My top tips for designing a study plan are as follows: 1. Understand what kind of learner you are.Some people are “visual learners” and
48、 remember best by seeing pictures and visualizing things in their mind; others are “auditory” and are happy to learn by listening; “kinesthetic” learners tend to learn by doing things and experience.2. Realize your own competence.What are your strengths and weaknesses? Which skill or skills are you
49、going to improve most? Allocate (分配)your time to each skill appropriately. It is better to do a little every day than try to “cram” lots in a short space of time.3. Write down your plan on a calendar.Decide which skill and what area you are going to practice each day. More importantly, your plan sho
50、uld be specific and practical. Once you have a clear goal in your mind, write it down on your calendar. Each day you should carry out your plan according to your schedule. Do not delay or make up any excuses because you fail to complete your daily task.Studying is like climbing a mountain and you sh
51、ould take one step at a time. At first sight, a mountain may seem extremely high and it is impossible for you to reach its peak. However, when you set out to climb it step by step you will find that it is not so difficult as you think. Similarly, it is also true in language learning. You can improve
52、 your language skills in each aspect step by step. Dont be frightened by the seemingly hard task. Break it into smaller goals and you will fulfill your dream.
