Reading involves looking at graphic symbols and formulating mentally the sounds and ideas they

represent.Concepts of reading have changed 1 over the centuries.During the 1950's and 1960's especially, increased attention has been devoted to 2 the reading process. 3 specialists agree that reading 4 a complex organization of higher mental 5 , they disagree 6 the exact nature of the process.Some experts, who regard language primarily as a code using symbols to represent sounds, 7 reading as simply the decoding of symbolssintosthe sounds they stand 8 . These authorities 9 that meaning, being concerned with thinking, must be taught independently of the decoding process.Others maintain that reading is 10 related to thinking, and that a child who pronounces sounds without 11 their meaning is not truly reading.The reader, 12 some, is not just a person with a theoretical ability to read but one who 13 reads.

Many adults, although they have the ability to read, have never read a book in its 14 .By some expert they would not be 15 as readers.Clearly, the philosophy, objectives, methods and materials of reading will depend on the definition one use.By the most 16 and satisfactory definition, reading is the ability to 17 the sound-symbols code of the language, to interpret meaning for various 18 , at various rates, and at various levels of difficulty, and to do 19 widely and enthusiastically. 20 reading is the interpretation of ideas through the use of symbols representing sounds and ideas.

1.B substantively“实质地”；substantially“大量地”；substitutively“可替代地”；subjectively“主观地”。本句意为经过几个世纪，阅读的概念已经改变了很多。 2.C 在这里to是介词，后接名词或动名词。因本句中the reading process前也应有动词，故选动名词。 3A although表示“尽管”，符合句意。 4.】A involve使卷入、包括；被动语态时用be involved in；没有involve to和involve of的用法。 5.D mental function智力活动。Opinion“意见”；manner“行为”；effect“影响”，这三项与mental搭配不妥。 6.B disagree about/on“对„„有不同意见”，在这一含义上不能用其他介词。 7.A view„as把„„看作。 8.D stand for“代表”；stand by“支持”；stand to“遵守”；stand off“冷淡”。 9.B contend“争论”；content“含量、容量”；contempt“轻视、蔑视”；contact“接触、联系”。根据句意，此处应选contend，意为这些权威争论说„„。 10.A nexplicably“无法解释地”；inextricably“无法摆脱的”；inexpressibly“说不出地”；inexpediently“不适当地、不明智地”。本句意为其他人坚持认为阅读无法解释地与思考联系在一起。 11.A interpreting“理解”；explaining“解释”。本句意为一个孩子能发出声音而不理解所读的含义，不能叫做真正的阅读。 12C 在这里according to some是说“根据一些人的观点”。 13.D actually“事实上地”；practical是形容词，不能修饰动词。这里actually和前半句的theoretical是在词意上的相对，符合句意。 14.B 代词its后接名词，四项选择中只有B、D项是名词。entirety“整体”；entity“实体”。in its entirety指整体地、全面地。 15.C be classified as“被划分、被分类到”；be granted“被授予”。 16.C conclusive“确定的”；inclusive“包括的、包围的”；inclinable“倾向于、赞成的”；complicated“复杂的”。the most conclusive是最高级，指最确定性的。 17.D unlock“解开、破译”；elaborate“详细说明、论述”；define“解释、限定”；break up“解散”。 18.A for various purposes因为各种各样的原因，与上下文相符。 19.C 此处用副词so修饰widely。 20.B 根据文意，此处要作总结，选in short“总之”。By the way顺便说，So far到目前为止，on the other hand另一方面。

Children model themselves largely on their parents.They do so mainly through identification.Children identify 1 a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are 2 of that parent.The things parents do and say—and the 3 they do and say to them—therefore strongly influence a child's 4 .However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 5 they want their child to become.

A parent's actions 6 affect the selfimage that a child forms 7 identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their 8 will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way.Children who observe chiefly 9 qualities in their parents will have difficulty 10 positive qualities in themselves.Children may 11 their selfimage, however, as they become increasingly 12 by peersgroupsstandards before they reach 13 .

Isolated events, 13 dramatic ones, do not necessarily have a permanent 14 on a child's behavior.Children interpret such events according to their established attitudes and previous training.Children who know they are loved can, 15 , accept the divorce of their parent's or a parents early 16 .But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events 17 a sign of rejection or punishment.

In the same way, all children are not influenced 18 by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs. 19 in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the 20 of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it.

1.【答案】B 【解析】identify与with连用，意为“把„„和„„联系起来”。 2.【答案】B 【解析】文中的意思是“„„代表他父母特点的品质和情感”。Inform“通知”；conceive“想象”；indicative“指示的”；characteristic“特点、特性”。 3.C 这里way是指父母的行为方式。gesture手势，expression表情，extent范围，这三项与上行文不符。 4.【答案】A 这里是说父母的行为方式对孩子的行为影响强烈。behavior行为，words语言，mood心情，reactions反应，均不符合题意。 5.【答案】A 【解析】这里是说父母必须始终如一地表现出想让他们的孩子成为的那种类型的人。human指人类，creatures指生物，adult指成年人。 6.【答案】C 【解析】前面是说父母的言行会强烈地影响孩子的行为，这里是说父母的言行还影响孩子的自我形象，所以用连词also。in turn依次；nevertheless然而；as a result结果。 7.【答案】D 【解析】这里是说孩子通过鉴别身份形成自我形象，因此选择through。 8.B 【解析】根据下文：children who observe chiefly negative qualities in their parents„，可以看出答案。 9.【答案】A 【解析】由上句positive可以推测出此处要选其反义词negative。 10.【答案】B 【解析】have difficulty(in)doing sth.“做„„有困难”，固定用法。 11.【答案】A 【解析】由however可以看出，这句话的意思是对前面“子女的自我形象要受到父母的言行影响”的转折。modify“修改、修饰”；give up“放弃”。copy和continue不符合文义。 12.【答案】B 【解析】influenced“受影响的”；mature“成熟的”；unique“惟一的”；independent“的”。句后用by„作介词短语，故此处需要一个过去分词。 13.C 【解析】这里是说“孤立的事件，甚至是富有戏剧性的事，都不一定会对孩子的行为产生永久的影响”。 14.【答案】D 【解析】have an effect on“对„„产生影响”，固定搭配。 15.【答案】B 【解析】逗号后面的一句是对前句的解释，是举例说明，故选for example。 16.A 【解析】这里or与连接的两个词都应是意义相似的令人不愉快的事，选项中与divorce相对应的词只有death。 17.【答案】A 【解析】interpret与as搭配，意为“把„„理解为”。

18.C 这句是说“并不是所有的孩子同样地都受到玩具、游戏、读物、电视节目的影响。alike“同样地”，意思最接近。 19.【答案】D 【解析】as“正如„„”；A、B项选择是感叹词，后面多用逗号。Right在意思上不合适。 20.【答案】B 【解析】本句意为：家庭关系的突然变化或某种经历对孩子的影响取决于他们对这些事如何理解。result“结果”；effect“影响”；scale“刻度”；cause“原因”

11.【答案】A 【解析】本句前半句的意思是：“人们一离开大气层就会接触射线”；后半句意思是：“他们的太空服和太空船会阻止射线造成的损害”。前后应该是转折关系，故用but。 12.【答案】D 【解析】Do +动词原型的结构表示强调谓语动词。 13.C 由radiation和explorers可推测，应选space(太空)。本句意为射线是探险者在太空遇见的已知的最大危险。 14.【答案】B 【解析】unit“单位、单元”；element“元素”；part“部分”；piece“碎片”本句意为：射线的多少可以以雷目这个测量单位测量。 15.【答案】A 【解析】receive表示客观收到；accept表示主观接受。我们受到的辐射并非主观接受。 16.【答案】D 【解析】conventional“传统的”；common“共同的、普通的”；general“一般的、总体的”；normal“正常的”。本句意为：我们每年接受的正常辐射量„„，故选normal。 17.【答案】D 【解析】shift“移动”；convert“转换”；modify“修改”；vary“变化”。根据句意，所处地点不同，所受辐射量也不一样„„，故选varies. 18.【答案】C 【解析】本句应填入引导宾语从句的代词，而从句不缺少主语和宾语，因而不选择what和which，又加之主句是陈述语气，故选择that。 19.

“ 7 we must have these noisy trucks on the roads,”said Jean Lacey, a biology student, why don't they build a new road that goes round the town? Burlington isn't much more than a 8 village.Its streets were never 9 for heavy traffic.

Harry Fields also studying 10 said they wanted to make as much 11 possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody wasshavingsto 12 .“Most of them don't 13 here anyway,”he said,“they come in for meetings and that, and the Town Hall is soundproof, so they probably don't 14 .It's high time they realized the problem.”The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were 15 on their side, and even if they weren't they soon would be.

I asked if they were 16 that the police might come to 17 them.

“Not really,”she said,“actually we are 18 bellringers.I mean we are assistant bellringers for the church.There is no 19 against practising.”

1.D 因为大部分人不知道如何正确锻炼，所以，人们在训炼时常会遇到麻烦。句中you表示泛指。 2.【答案】C 【解析】“希望“邻近的脂肪消耗掉，在此符合语境；understand，know不合逻辑，因为，即已”明白“，就不会不符合事实；believe表示的是人的得一种看法，而看法有对有错。 3.【答案】B 【解析】下一句中再现了burn这一词。 4.Ctruth本意为“真理”，此处引申为“事实”——指实际锻炼时脂肪消耗的情形。余者不合文意。 5.【答案】D 【解析】余者不能概全 6.【答案】A 【解析】根据常识可知，“不锻炼的肌肉会很快丧失力量。 7.【答案】D 根据前一句“要重新获得力量需要48到72个小时可知，每隔一天锻炼一次可保持正常水平的体力。” 8.【答案】A 【解析】本句意思是“为了——体重，人们应该通过锻炼来出汗”。空格处显然应该是“减少”。而不是“增

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children.And they must have 1 how difficult it is to write a 2 children's book.Either the author has aimed too 3 , so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 4 the story seems to be talking to the readers.

The best children's books are 5 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 6 who hears the story and the adult who 7 it.Unfortunately, there are in fact 8 books like this, 9 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 10 to solve.

This may be why many of books regarded as 11 of children's literature were in fact written for 12 .“Alice's Adventure in Wonderland”is perhaps the most 13 of this.

Children, left for themselves, often 14 the worst possible interest in literature.Just leave a child in bookshop o 15 and he will 16 willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 17 of teachers and right-thinking parents.

Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash childrensintos 18 our taste in literature.After all children and adults are so 19 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 20 books.So I suppose we'll just have to compromise over that bedtime story.

More and more students want to study in“hot”majors. 1 a result, many students want to 2 their interests and study in these 3 such as foreign languages, international business and law, etc.
