I’m a real book lover. Every time my friends visit me, my nose is buried in a book. Wherever I go, I always have a book with me. Novels, history books, stories about people, journals and news—I read them all and I’ve learnt a lot, too. For example, many things in life happen for the best even if we don’t like or understand them.
Why is reading such an enjoyable pastime for me? I probably first learned about it from my parents. My mother read to me at night in my childhood and bought me picture books. The greatest gift she has given me is a love for reading. And it will be a life-long habit.
No one ever asked me why I liked to read. They just saw me and asked, “Oh? Is that for school work?” And I just shook my head, “No. It’s just for fun.” While reading a good book, I can totally forget myself and fly to another world. It’s like exploring through someone’s eyes, which is just as exciting as watching a movie.
Reading is also necessary in order to learn about writing, to improve my use of words and phrases and broaden my knowledge. What a pity to see our imagination disappear, for we don’t exercise it often. Reading can even be good for one’s health, I think. Everyone should read sad stories that make us cry and also books with humor that make us laugh out loud!
24. Among the gifts my parents have given me, which is the most valuable one?
A. A love for reading. B. Picture books.
C. Good health. D. A lovable pastime.
25. In the fourth paragraph, the author thinks reading can ________.
A. make his parents happy
B. finish his school work
C. improve writing and broaden knowledge
D. help him understand some movies
26. If we don’t use our imagination often, ________.
A. it is bad for our health B. we will soon learn how to write
C. it will help us to have a good rest D. it will soon disappear
27. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Why do I have few friends? B. What are my life habits?
C. Why do I love reading? D. Why do things happen for the best?
C
NEW YORK—Gordon Parks, who experienced the struggles and victories of black America as a photographer for Life magazine and then became Hollywood's first major black director with “ The Learning Tree” and the hit “Shaft,” died Tuesday, his family said.
Parks, who also wrote fiction and was a gifted composer, died at his home in New York, according to a former wife, and nephew Charles Parks.
“Nothing came easy,” Parks wrote in his autobiography(自传). “I was just born with a need to explore every tool shop of my mind, and with long searching and hard work, I became devoted to my restlessness.”
He covered everything from fashion to politics to sports at Life from 1948 to 1968.
But as a photographer, he was perhaps best known for his photo essays on the effects of poverty in the United States and abroad and on the spirit of the civil rights movement.
He went through a series of jobs as a teen and young man, including piano player and railroad dining car waiter. The breakthrough came when he was about 25, when he bought a used camera in a pawn shop (典当行) for $7.50. He became a freelance (自由投稿的)fashion photographer, went on to Vogue magazine and then to Life in 1948.
“Reflecting now I realize that, even within the limits of my childhood vision, I was on a search for pride, meanwhile taking measurable glimpses of how certain blacks, who suffered from racism, were against it,” he wrote.
When he accepted an award from Wichita Stale University in May 1991, he said it was “another step forward in my making peace with Kansas and Kansas making peace with me.”
28. Which of the following jobs didn't Gordon Parks do?
A. A photographer. B. A director.
C. A composer. D. A politician.
29. What can you infer from the passage?
A. Parks thought not everything was easy.
B. Parks was later fond of exploring every person.
C. Parks worked at Life for 20 years.
D. Parks married only once.
30. What directly helped Parks be a fashion photographer?
1
A. His photo essays. B. A used camera.
C. A pawn shop. D. Vogue magazine.
31. The passage is most probably taken from ________.
A. a short story collection. B. a popular science magazine.
C. a research paper. D. a newspaper.
D
When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted.
People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.
32. We should take good care of our eyes ________.
A. only when we can see well
B. only when we cannot see perfectly
C. even if we can see well
D. only when we realize how important our eyes are
33. When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably ________.
A. near-sighted B. far-sighted
C. astigmatic D. suffering from cataracts
34. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for ________.
A. seeing at night B. seeing objects far away
C. looking over a wide area D. judging distances
35. People who suffer from astigmatism have ________.
A. one eye bigger than the other
B. eyes that are not exactly the right shape
C. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operation
D. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses

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。
What roles do you play in your family? 36 . In modern families, mothers may have their own careers，and fathers also help out with housework and taking care of children. This is probably why recently, the brand slogan（标语）Loved by kids，aged by mums, which was featured（使担任重要角色）in ads for a well-known breakfast cereal（麦片粥）, led to heated discussion online.
__37__. An article on the Louisiana Weekly newspaper said, “As the number of double income（收入）households increases, the roles of men and women have changed over time. It has suggested a more equal distribution（分布）of labor between mothers and fathers.” Indeed，more and more men have changed their views on their roles in families.__38__. However, the biggest problem facing them is not only struggling with housework and childcare, but also doubts over whether they're doing enough.
__39__. “You're measured by how much time you're able to spend with your kids and how much you're able to do with your family,” Matt Schneider, co-founder of a US-based network for stay-at-home dads，told CBS News. However, despite all the difficulties, there are special moments that make it worthwhile for stay-at-home fathers. “When my son crawls（爬行）into bed, puts his head on my chest, and says, ‘I love you’ I don't even know if he knows what that means,” a stay-at-home dad called Scot Durkin told ABC News.“__40__”.
A. Many chose to be stay-at-home dads
B. But you get all warm inside
C. It's not just about being a paycheck anymore
D. It's reasonable for some women to want to go out to work
E. In the past, women were more likely than men to look after family members
F. Dads have some unique qualities that make them different from mothers
G. A campaign group in the United Kingdom complained that the slogan was biased（有偏见的）against stay-at-home men

One spring afternoon five years ago, Jimmy Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei’s Sherwood Hotel. Life seemed 41 . The people who laughed as they walked past were taking their 42 for granted, just as he 43 himself. Now, however, he felt 44 —and he couldn’t even show his disappointment in his 45 .
Seeking more personally satisfying 46 , he had just left a successful job as a commercial artist when it seemed that fate(命运)played a cruel 47 on him. It was at this time that he developed cancer and was 48 to work. But that moment in the hotel was a turning point for Jimmy. He began to 49 the fact that there is no such a thing as fate, only 50 . Since then, he has published several imaginative, illustrated(带插图的)books.
According to Jimmy, you are 51 you choose to be. You can give up or you can work to be a happier person. Jimmy realized that, while the world 52 seems unfair, your choice can change your life.
This idea can be 53 in Jimmy’s books, where his characters show the powerlessness they feel 54 making their choices. The message that goes with Jimmy’s drawings, however, is 55 .
Though the world may make us feel small, we must be 56 . Everything will be all right for us—as
