In fact, in some places there were deep gaps where whole pieces were missing. The young man laughed." 7 your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars." "Yes," said the old man,"Yours 8 perfect but I would never trade with you. You see, every 9 represents a person 10 I have given my love.

| Learners report two main difficulties in reading, which may be linked. There are too many unknown words and as a result reading is simply not a pleasure. For some students, even reading in their own language is a chore. Having a wide vocabulary is essential to making sense of written language. Of course, this is a circular argument, because the more you read the more vocabulary you learn and the more words you know the more easily you can read. Don't make the mistake of reading with your dictionary beside you, looking up every single new or doubtful word. This is laborious and prevents you from practicing the skill of prediction. Sometimes in reading you find a word you know but the sense doesn't seem to fit in. This is not surprising because words have so many meanings and degrees of meaning. What is more, part of their meaning is shaped by the words around them. Keep looking at the surrounding words and asking yourself "what sort of meaning would make sense here?" The more that people study the reading process, the better they can pass on to language learners a range of advice to choose from. People have learned to read in all kinds of ways. Here is some information that could help you plan to be a better reader in the foreign language you are studying. 1) Work out the general meaning first When people read in a new language they often feel they must take a detailed approach, focusing in every word, particularly those they don't know. They read as if they were using a microscope, looking carefully at each of the small pieces (the individual words), but not necessarily seeing the whole picture at first. This is called the "bottom-up" approach. Other readers try to look first at the big picture(the "top-down" approach), attending to individual bricks only as necessary, a process that involves some intelligent guesswork. Generally this second approach is recommended by successful learners. 2) Interactive reading Another way of thinking about reading is to describe it as an interactive process, where the text brings something to you and you bring something to the text. Readers bring together all their knowledge of the world with what they see on the page in front of them. That is why, when reading in our own language, we don't need to read every word. We add meaning which is not actually stated. 3) From supported reading to independent reading Language learners start by needing considerable support as they read. Textbooks supply this support in the form of introductions that summaries the contents, glossaries, pictures, explanations of new grammar points. In your reading you need to move gradually from this support to reading more the text itself. |
| 1. According to the author, _____. |
| A. looking up the dictionary is of great help for the understanding B. reading more promotes the gaining of vocabulary C. the more you read, the clearer the meaning is D. the amount of vocabulary is the key to reading |
| 2. Successful learners recommend _____. |
| A. trying to look first at the big picture B. looking carefully at each of the small pieces C. focusing on every word D. "bottom-up" approach |
| 3. The word "chore" in the first paragraph maybe means _____. |
| A. an important aspect B. a difficult and tiring thing C. an easy question D. something special |
| 4. You come across a new or doubtful word when you are reading, you can _____. |
| A. just miss it and let it be B. keep looking at the surrounding words C. look it up in the dictionary each time D. make sense of it with the help of dictionary |

| China is likely to surpass the U.S. to become world's largest online game market this year, according to a recent report by market research firm iResearch. China's online game market generated revenue (总收入) of 20.8 billion yuan($3.04 billion) in 2008, up 52.2% over the previous year. Over 80% of the revenue came from big, multiplayer online games, with the rest generated from Web games and mobile games. The overall market is expected to keep growing at an average annual rate of 20% in the coming five years. And iResearch forecasts that the Chinese online market will be worth more than 68 billion yuan by 2012, which will account for almost half of the global market by then. At present, U.S., China and Korea are the world's top three largest online game markets, making up about 29%, 27% and 21% respectively of the global online game market, according to the report. U.S. game companies derive a major part of their revenue from sales of games overseas. South Korea's online game industry generates half of its revenue from games in its home market. In China, however, most of the money comes directly from its own game players. Negatively influenced by the global economic downturn, both the U.S. and Korea markets will see a drop in game exporting, iResearch estimates. In China, the enormous base and fast growing of online gamers will further boost China's online game industry, said the report. China is currently home to 55.5 million online game players, according to the latest stats by the China Internet Network Information Center(CNNIC). In its report, iResearch found that figures for gamers under 18 and above 40 grew at their fastest rate yet last year, though it didn't disclose specifics. |
| 1. The second and third paragraphs show that _____. |
| A. The global online game market will be worth more than 136 billion yuan in 2012. B. China's online game market increased by 20% in 2008. C. China's online game market will become 60% less in 2009. D. US, China and Korea together account for 90% of the global online game market. |
| 2. China's online game industry is different from that of the US and Korea because it's _____. |
| A. made up of online, Web and mobile games B. easily affected by the global economy C. mainly based upon its home market D. among the three largest online game markets |
| 3. Which of the following things is mentioned as a factor in the rapid development of China's online game industry? |
| A. The rapid growth of online gamers in China. B. A drop in game imports to China. C. The global economic downturn. D. The development of technology in China. |
| 4. According to the last paragraph, which of the following is TRUE? |
| A. CNNC and iResearch worked together on the report. B. Gamers under 18 were one of the age groups which grew the fastest last year. C. At present there are 55.5 million online game providers in China. D. The statements of CNNC and iResearch are contradictory. |

| Several years ago I worked in an office, which I had a locust tree growing outside the window. It had grown into a tall tree and must have been there for a long time. The tree blocked the view and made the office seem dull, unfortunately this happened to be the room assigned to me and I was depressed by it for quite some time. When the first spring came, everything was green except the locust tree. Secretly, I was very happy because I had thought it had died. One morning when I opened the window for fresh air, I unexpectedly smelt a familiar sweet scent floating into my office but I couldn't name it. Suddenly, I realized it was the locust tree! The tree that I thought dead was blossoming in full glory. From then on, I usually came to the office very early to see dew forming on the locust tree blossoms and every year was eager to see spring again. During summer, the green leaves provided shade protecting me from the harsh sunlight, but allowing enough light in to make it pleasant. In autumn, the leaves turned into many different colors. Its beauty touched my soul. Many times I thought to take photos but never did. Then I had to leave in a hurry. Later in life it became a great regret that I had not done so. Actually, many times in our lives, we think we own something, therefore we don't cherish it. We don't feel regretful until we lose it one day! Moreover, sometimes, we have to accept the things we don't want and need to discover the hidden beauty to find unexpected joy! |

| Stonehenge may have been a prehistoric health center rather than a site for observing stars or a temple in honor of the dead, scientists said yesterday. New evidence unearthed at the World Heritage Site in more than 40 years suggests that the monument was a place where the diseased and injured went in groups, seeking cures. After a two-week dig, scientists have concluded that Stonehenge was "the ancient healthcare centre of southern England" because of the existence of "bluestones"-the smaller columns of dolerite (辉绿岩) that formed an earlier stone structure. By dating pieces of remains to around 7330BC, Tim Darvill, of Bournemouth University, and Goff Wainwright, of the Society of Amtiquaries have found that hunter-gatherers were at the site on Salisbury Plain 4,000 years earlier than thought. The first stage of Stonehenge, a round earthwork structure, was built around 3000BC. Professor Wainwright added: "I did not expect the degree of complexity we discovered. We're able to say so much more about when Stonehenge was built and why-all of which changes our previous understanding of the monument." The research reveals the importance of the henge's famous bluestones. Hundreds of bluestone chips gathered at the site have led the team to conclude that the bluestones were valued for their curing effects-the key reason that about 80 of them, each weighing up to 4 tons and a half, were dragged more than 150 miles from the Preseli Hills to Wiltshire. After years of research, Professors Darvill and Wainwright have concluded that, for thousands of years, the Preseli mountain range was home to magical health centers and holy wells. Even today there are those who believe in the curing powers of the springs for coughs and heart disease, and people who use crystals and bluestones for self-curing. Radiocarbon tests have also revealed that the construction of the original bluestone circle took place around 2300BC, three centuries later than originally thought. Interestingly, on the same day died the "Amesbury Archer"-a sick traveler from the Swiss or German Alps who had an infected knee-whose remains were discovered about five miles from Stonehenge. The professors believe that he was a devoted religious person who was hoping to benefit from the curing powers of the monument. |
| 1. Stonehenge is recently believed to be a place for people _____. |
| A. to recover from poor health B. to observe star movements C. to hold religious ceremonies D. to gather huge bluestones |
| 2. What can be inferred about Stonehenge from the passage? |
| A. The springs could cure coughs and heart disease best. B. The new discovery was the same as what had been expected. C. Some huge bluestones were not produced at Stonehenge. D. The original bluestone circle was thought to be constructed around 2000BC. |
| 3. The sick traveler in the passage is supposed to be ______. |
| A. a devoted religious person from Stonehenge B. one of the earliest discoverers of Stonehenge C. the first explorer to test the magical power of bluestones D. a patient trying to cure his infection at Stonehenge |
| 4. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? |
| A. Stonehenge: A New Place of Interest B. Stonehenge: Still Making News C. Stonehenge: Heaven for Adventurers D. Stonehenge: Still Curing Patients |

| About ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old. He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and-WHUMP!-it hit the Jag's shiny black side door! SCREECH…!!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!" Building up a head of steam, he went on."That's my new Jag, that brick you threw is going to cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?" "Please, mister, please… I'm sorry! I didn't know what else to do!" begged the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop!" tears were streaming down the boy's face as he pointed around the parked car."It's my brother, mister," he said."He rolled of the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me." Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE-a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you. |
