10、 a football match. 第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分40分）第一节 （共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文 ，从每题所给的四个选项 （A 、B 、C 和 D ）中 ，选出最佳选项 ，并在题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in fron
11、t of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it automaticity (自动性).A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase (短
12、语). With automaticity, he doesnt have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text. It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the
13、 first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers
14、 will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic
15、reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.21. Reading is the key to school success means that reading _. A. helps students go to a key schoolB. can improve students learning results C. helps school develop faster D. is a key to a successf
16、ul school22. Children with automaticity can read faster because they _.A. know how to read the wordsB. pay attention to the meaning of the text C. read by themselves without any helpD. do not have to think while they are reading23. Rossman tells that any child who _ will possibly be an automatic rea
17、der.A. spends an hour reading every day B. reads books by the word quicklyC. turns off TV one night 4 weeksD. gets the same marks as others in exams24. The best title for the passage is _.A. IQ Is the Key to the AutomaticityB. TV Is Bad for Childrens ReadingC. Automatic Reading Will Be Successful D.
18、 Automaticity Depends on Practice BA popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, thats not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesnt matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves the positive and nega
19、tive effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldnt be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things,
20、solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, d
21、o well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use wa
22、rm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh (刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember un
23、kind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid. Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively.
24、We can offer hope, build self-esteem (自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.25.There is no need for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _. A.almost everybody has the habit o
25、f talking to themselvesB.talking to ourselves always gives us courageC.we can benefit from talking to ourselvesD.it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone26.The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _.A.remind ourselves B.praise ourselvesC.make ourselves
26、 relaxed D.give ourselves amusement27.The author would probably hold the view that _.A.encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offersB.negative words may motivate us to make more progressC.people tend to remember friendly wordsD.it is better to think twice before talking to others28.In which colu
27、mn of the newspaper can you most likely read this passage? A.News. B.Advice column. C.Health. D.Language. C1.

36、t young architectsparticularly those in big citiescan only dream about working in a building of their own. And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brian Bell. Their building is a former a
37、utomobile electrical-parts firm in Atlanta. From the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting walls.In 2000,Yocum and Bell found this building in the citys West End. Built in 1947, the structure had
38、 been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition, pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building. The demolition was hard wo
39、rk, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was therethe walls, the rust, the light,” Yocum said. “Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. Its like an art installation(装置) in therea slow-motion show.”Since the back building had bee
40、n constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer(缓冲) zone between the front and the back cont
41、ains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond. Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from the decoration of t
42、heir building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.32. According to the passage, it is_ for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own.A. unrealis
43、tic B. easy C. unnecessary D. common33. Working on the old building, Yocum and Bell_. A. removed the skylights from the bathroomB. presented a slow-motion show in an art gallery C. pulled rubbish out through the roof D. built a kitchen at the back part of the old building34.

A. benefited a lot from pulling down the roof B. turned more old buildings into art galleriesC. paid more attention to the outside of the art gallery D. got inspiration from decorating their old building35. The main idea of the passage is that_. A. creative people
