"Stand straight and tall," he would say, as I unsuccessfully tried to shrink (使缩小) myself. Moreover, each time, I would embarrassedly obey. Even at age 15, I understood that his advice was about 47 than just feet and inches. My grandfather grew up in war-torn Europe. When German soldiers 48 his hometown, he wound up joining the Soviet army to fight 49 his country's freedom. "Stand straight, stand tall," meant something else back then. _50 the war, he boarded a boat for 51 , and on January 27, 1947, he stepped onto the dock in Manhattan. He was hungry and 52 from seasickness. All alone in a new country, he was 53 about his future. Still, he marched head-on into the streets of New York. Soon he met 54 European immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way. If they could do it, why couldn't he? "Stand straight, stand tall," he would remind himself. He felt his faith 55 .

The host poured the tea into the cup and placed it on the small table in front of his guests, who were a father and daughter, and put the cover on the cup. Apparently thinking of something, he hurried into the inner room, leaving the thermos (热水瓶) on the table. His two guests heard a cupboard opening. They remained sitting in the sitting room, the ten-year-old daughter looking at the flowers outside the window, the father just about to take his cup, when the crash came, right there in the sitting room. Something was hopelessly broken. It was the thermos, which had fallen to the floor. The girl looked over her shoulder, shocked, staring. It was mysterious. Neither of them had touched it, not even a bit. True, it hadn't stood steadily when their host placed it on the table, but it hadn't fallen then. The explosion caused the host to rush back. Gawking at the steaming floor, the host said "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter!" The father started to say something. Then he said softly, "Sorry, I touched it and it fell." "It doesn't matter," the host said. When they left the house, the daughter said, "Daddy, did you touch it?" "No. But it stood so close to me. " "But you didn't touch it. I saw your reflection in the window glass. " The father laughed. "What then would you give as the cause of its fall?" "The thermos fell by itself. The floor is not smooth. Daddy, why did you say that you …" "That won't do, girl. It sounds more acceptable when I say I knocked it down. There are things which people accept less the more you defend them. The truer the story you tell, the less true it sounds. " The daughter was lost in silence for a while. Then she said, "Can you explain it only in this way?" "Only in this way," her father said. 56. Which statement is a possible theme of this story? A. People rarely tell the truth. B. You can't always make people believe the truth. C. If you defend yourself, people will believe you. D. People should take the blame for what they didn't do. 57. It can be inferred from the story that the father _______. A. didn't know the host well B. felt satisfied that he didn't tell the truth C. was sorry that he told the truth D. didn't think the host would believe the truth 58. From the story we know that the daughter ________. A. thought her father should tell the truth B. didn't know why the thermos fell C. knocked over the thermos D. strongly objected to her father's explanation 59. The underlined "gawking at" probably means _______. A. staring at with anger B. looking at curiously C. glancing at hopelessly D. looking at in a dull way

Channel Islands The two main islands, Jersey and Quernsey, are remarkable in that they present a combination of enjoyment, peace and quiet. Neither island is very big (only ten miles long) and so all parts of these coasts are easily reached from the main centers -- St. Helier and St. Peter Port. In both these towns and particularly in Jersey's St. Helier are the amusements of really big resorts (度假胜地). The nearness of France gives a continental atmosphere; the weather here is far better than that of any other part of England. The other three islands, Jethou, Hern and Sark are small and quiet. Isles of Scilly The islands are really small and quiet; the weather is warm but windy. The islands are excellent for those who enjoy exploring small inlets (水湾), creeks (小溪) and bays on foot, or better, in a boat. Isle of Wight he island is 24 miles across and therefore quite large. The scenery is good and varied. The resorts are neither overlarge nor showy. The island has the best sunshine record in Britain.

In classrooms across the USA, students from different speech backgrounds give speeches in English. It is important to remember that the major goal of the speech is communication of ideas, not perfection of language skills. Therefore, as you listen to a speaker who is not fluent in the language, seek to understand what is being said by concentrating on the ideas of the message rather than on the specific words of the speaker. This may require a special kind of patience as well as the ability to take the perspective (视角) of the communicator. Perspective taking means that you can put yourself in the other person’s shoes. That is, you try to imagine what it would be like to give a speech in a foreign language to a group of native speakers of that language. Keep in mind that non-fluency is not linked to low intelligence or lack of education~ it is linked to experiences with the second language. These guidelines can help you be a better listener in these situations. 1. Approach the speech with a positive attitude, and expect to understand. 2. Listen all the way through. Make special efforts to keep your mind from wandering in the middle of the speech. It may help to take notes. 3. Plan to give proper nonverbal (非语言的) feedback to prove your interest, patience, and support for the speaker. 4. Control your negative emotional responses. Let's face it, it is difficult to deal with linguistic barriers (语言障碍), and people often get disappointed or bored when there are language differences. 5. Do not laugh, even if the speakers do, at their language skills. Often they laugh nervously to relieve tension. 68. What is the main idea of this passage? A. How to become a good listener. B. How to become a good speaker. C. We should take a positive attitude towards speech. D. How to communicate with others 69. The underlined phrase "put yourself in the other person’s shoes" in the first paragraph means ____. A. to know one's shoes is to know one's problem B. try to wear the other person’s shoes C. understand others by trying on their shoes D. look at something from the point of others 70. What can we learn from the passage? A. People should be strict with speakers speaking in a foreign language. B. Taking notes helps keep your mind from wandering in listening to a speech. C. Whenever the speaker is nervous, he laughs. D. It's hard to concentrate when the speaker is not fluent. 71. What advice is given on listening to a speech? A. Believing you can understand every word of the speech. B. Showing your support for the speaker nonverbally. C. Laughing when the speaker laughs at himself. D. Commenting on the speech at times.

All the wisdom of the ages and all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books. The most unfortunate people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books. Reading is the pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author's or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his. Every book stands by itself, like a one--family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something. They are connected with each other and with other cities. Books influence each other; they link the past, the present and the future and have their own generations, like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families or ideas, and in the long run, you not only find out about the world and the people in it but also you find out about yourself, too. Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you "you ought" to read, you probably won't have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax yourself with it, you will almost certainly have a good time and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won't have suffered during the process. 72. In the writer's opinion, in fact reading is a process of ________. A. listening to the author B. accepting the author's ideas C. communicating with the author and yourself D. judging the author's work 73. The writer thinks that the most unfortunate people are those _______. A. who don't have any books B. who can't enjoy reading books C. who don’t like books D. who read too many books 74. To find pleasure in reading, you should read the books _______. A. written by famous writers B. written in humor style C. which you like to read D. which are recommended by your friends 75. The author's purpose in writing the passage is to _______. A. show the importance of reading B. tell us how to make reading more effective C. tell us how to read D. show the pleasure of reading 72-75 CBCD

任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡相应题号的横线上。 China's College Entrance Examination (CEE)in 1977 and 1978 changed the fate of a group of Chinese people with large age differences and from all walks of life. Thirty years later, some of them anxiously wait outside exam spots, praying for good luck for their only child. The Chinese describe the CEE, or gaokao in Chinese, as "thousands of troops on a single--log bridge" because of the limited number of places at universities. For students in the countryside, the tough exams may be their only opportunity to escape the hardship of country life. A survey conducted by the Ministry of Education and the China Youth Daily showed 89.6 percent of those people felt their fate was changed by the exam. Among those who said their fate was "totally changed", 69.1 percent came from the countryside and only 30.9 percent were from cities. Some Chinese think too much emphasis is placed on having a university diploma (文凭). It is believed that a person will not find a proper job without a college certificate, and that there are increasingly fewer jobs even for college graduates. Although the CEE is still a major means of selecting people for higher education after 30 years of development, the society has gradually adjusted its standard, A lot of people think that the CEE needs reforming, but these reforms will have to be gradual. While debates over the exam continue, more people believe it is the only open, fair and just way of talent selection.
