B I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I had as a child dealt with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded. I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her. I would pretend to be reading. This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf”, I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed. Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument. Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax. We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless. 4. Why did the author want to take the newspaper suddenly out of mom’s hands? A. She was dying to know what had happened. B. She wanted mom to read the news to her. C. She couldn’t wait to destroy the newspaper. D. She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading. 5. What does the author’s reading of road signs show according to paragraph 3? A. Her special way to find a place. B. Her eagerness to develop her reading ability. C. Her effort to remind mom to respect traffic rules. D. Her growing desire to know the world around her. 6. What does the author think of novel reading? A. A way to develop a love for learning. B. A way to create a mysterious land C. A way to get away from a confusing world. D. A way to learn about the adult world. 7. What could be the best title for the passage? A. The Methods of Reading B. Growing Up with Reading C. The Process of Reading D. Reading Makes a Full Man C Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers. A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward. Here’s how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example. After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination. When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分) of the smaller number to it. “This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains, ”Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they’re doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.” 8. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them? A. They fed them. B. They named them. C. They trained them. D. They measured them. 9. How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment? A. By drawing a circle. B. By touching a screen. C. By watching videos. D. By mixing two drinks. 10. What did Livingstone’s team find about the monkeys? A. They could perform basic addition. B. They could understand simple words. C. They could memorize numbers easily. D. They could hold their attention for long. 11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Education. D. Science. D When a language dies, so does a special way of seeing the world. Time is running out for many languages. Experts expect that of about 6,700 languages around the world, 40% could disappear by the end of the century. The UN has made 2019 the International Year of Native Languages to draw attention to the problem. Slowly, countries are devoting more efforts to it. Canada aims to pass a Native Language Act before its elections in October 2019. The act would give more than 65 languages spoken by First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples national recognition (认可) and teaching resources. In government-funded boarding schools, which operated from the 1880s to 1996, native children faced beatings or electric shocks if they were caught using their native languages. “But we want to put the same amount of effort to revitalise native languages as Canada put to destroy them,” says Perry Bellegarde, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations. Legal recognition for a language is the first step to bring a native culture back from disappearance. Maori is one of the success stories. When it became one of New Zealand’s official languages in 1987, less than 20% of the Maori population spoke it well enough to be regarded as native speakers. Today it is off the endangered list. The second step is to teach a new generation of native speakers. Technology is a big help. Duolingo, a popular language-learning app, recently added Hawaiian and Navajo to its courses. BASABALI, another language-learning app, uses Facebook to reach speakers in the countryside. Say it in Saami is an online dictionary that translates modern lingo into languages spoken by the Sami people in Northern Europe. Saving rare languages needs people to defend them. Bali now asks officials to use Balinese on Thursdays. The UN year will start projects that could save thousands of languages. The challenge in 2019 will be to get others to listen and start talking. 12 The writing purpose of the passage is to ________. A introduce the action taken by countries to stop native languages disappearing B. explain what the UN has done to prevent native languages going C. describe what Canada has done to save languages spoken by First Nations D. analyze the reasons why we should protect native languages 13. What does the underlined word “revitalise” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Destroy B. Learn C. Save D. Remove 14. According to the passage, how can we save rare languages? A. Name a year as the Year of Native Languages. B. Ask students to learn native languages by electric shocks. C. Develop online dictionaries to help students to learn English. D. People need to make efforts to learn or speak native languages. 15. What attitude does the author hold to the International Year of Native Languages? A. Uninterested B. Supportive C. Objective D. Neutral (中立的) 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。 I used to hate working out, but now it’s my favorite part of the week.

It also strengthens your immune system and reduces the risk of health problems. What’s more, if you feel down, going for a run can cheer yourself up. If you’re new to running, here are some tips for you — a pair of good running shoes is necessary. It’s important to warm up and cool down properly before and after running. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
