1.How to Become Cleverer
Once a boy came to ask a fisherman how to become cleverer,because his mother always called him"foolish boy".
"That's easy,"answered the fisherman."I know one way to make you become cleverer."
"Really?"
"Of course.It is said a fish head is good for brain.If you eat one,you'll become cleverer indeed.Pay only three pounds for one fish head."The boy paid him three pounds and the fisherman cut off a fish head and handed it to him.
A raw fish head is not good-not even for a hungry boy to eat but the boy ate it up in two gulps.
"Do you feel anything?"asked the fisherman.
"Not in my head,"said the boy.
The boy lay on the ground and thought."One whole fish costs only two pounds.I had paid him three pounds for the fish head.Why couldn't I have the whole fish for soup,a head for brain and one pound left over?"He jumped up and shouted at the fisherman."You thief!You are fooling me!"The fisherman laughed,saying,"The fish head works now,you see."

分析 本文叙述了一个男孩因为妈妈经常说他"傻孩子",所以去问渔夫怎样才能变聪明.渔夫说吃鱼头可以变聪明,他就花了三英镑买了个鱼头,两口吞下了.之后,他感觉自己上当了.

解答 17-20 CBCC
17:C  细节理解题.根据"It is said a fish head is good for brain.If you eat one,you'll become cleverer indeed."渔夫说鱼头对脑子好,吃了会变聪明.可知男孩两口吞下鱼头,是因为他把鱼头当成能变聪明的良药了.故答案选C.
18:B 细节理解题.根据文章第一句"Once a boy came to ask a fisherman how to become cleverer,"可知男孩来找渔夫是为了问他怎样能变聪明.至于买鱼头,是后来渔夫让他买的.故答案选B.
19:C 细节理解题.根据"Why couldn't I have the whole fish for soup,a head for brain and one pound left over?"可知,男孩花费三英镑可以买到一整条鱼还能找回一英镑.故选C.
20:C 推理题.根据文章中男孩吃鱼前后的情况,可知并没有什么帮男孩变得更聪明,他本来就不傻.故答案选C.

14.How to choose appropriate books for English beginners
It is a conventional wisdom that in order to have a good command of English,the most effective way is to read English books widely.(36)F I would like to share some of my experience.
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice was my first English novel.It is recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners.(37)AI had great difficulty in understanding the novel,let alone enjoying it.It's not the vocabulary that troubled me,but rather the way Austen constructs sentences,and her way of thinking,which seemed too remote to me at that time.
My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway's novel Farewell to Arms.No long and complicated sentences.And I particularly liked his concise and straightforward style.(38)G I do not mean to exclude(排除) classical novels for ever.Actually,the second reading of Pride and Prejudice greatly pleased me(probably the result of my improved English comprehension).It is only that classical novels are less accessible to beginners due to their language styles and social background.
(39)E In fact,if you limit yourself to novels you will miss a lot of treasures.English essays can at once inform you,entertain you,and improve your taste in English.Here comes my second suggestion-essays are necessary.
My last advice is never to follow others'recommendations and opinions blindly.We should be open to various ideas,but always think and determine for ourselves.(40)CWith that in mind,we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.

A.But my experience was somewhat disastrous.
B.So one must read as many books as possible.
C.As a saying goes,one man's meat is another man's poison.
D.Anyway,novels are not good material for English learning.
E.However,reading novels is not the only way to improve your English.
F.Yet one may be at a loss to choose the appropriate books,especially as a beginner.
G.So as a beginner,you'd better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones.
12.What the Queen keeps inside it has long remained a mystery.Now a new book claims to cast light on the contents of the royal matriarch's main possession.
What's in The Queen's Handbag:And Other Royal Secrets reveals that though the 81-year-old British monarch(君主)doesn't carry cash,keys or passport-since she doesn't own one-her bag is far from empty.Inside are a collection of little presents from her children,a make-up case,some family photos,and a camera sometimes.There's also an s-shaped metal hook that she places on the dinner table's edge to hang her bag from so that it doesn't touch the floor.
Should you ever meet the Queen,it's not what's in her bag but what she does with it that should concern you.She uses her bags,of which she has about 200 made by London-based firm Launier,to send signals to her staff.
Before dining with Queen,a point is made to inform guests that dinner will end in about five minutes after she places her bag on the table top.
On walkabouts,she holds the bag to one side to show she intends to move on,at which point a lady-in-waiting joins the conversation,allowing her to slip away without causing offence.
When at a banquet,if the Queen's bag is placed on the floor then it's a sign that she's not finding the conversation interesting,and wants nothing more than to escape.However,if the royal bag is dangling(悬挂) happily from the crook of her left arm,she is happy and relaxed.
32.What does the article tell us about the Queen's handbag?D
A.She seldom has it with her.
B.She always carries the same handbag.
C.It used to be thought empty.
D.Its contents are not the same as ours.
33.When is it necessary for the Queen to convey her intention with her bag?A
A.When she is with guests.
B.When she eats outside.
C.When she has her staff around.
D.when she is tired of speaking.
34.The Queen gives no signal when sheA
A.hangs her bag on the metal hook 
B.hangs her bag from her left arm
C.places her bag on the floor     
D.puts her bag on the table top
35.By holding her bag to one side,the Queen shows she wants toC
A.talk to her lady-in-waiting         
B.start a conversation
C.stop to continue her walk          
D.go on with the talk.
16.When someone told 85-year-old Johnny Long that he was called a living legend(传奇,传说),he replied,"I don't know about that,but I'm living,and that's important."
Starting in 1949as a high school band director and later as director of the Troy University band,Johnny Long became known as one of the most inspirational band directors in America.More than three hundred of his students went on to become band directors themselves."I have been a band director for more than 60years and all I know about the word‘band'is that you spell it F-U-N,"Long said."And if you change that,it's over."
Long retired 14years ago to spend more time with his wife Mary Lynn.But his passion (热情) for bands never went away.He dreamed of forming a top-notch (拔尖的) community band in Troy.But Troy is a small town-with not a ton of top-notch talent."I didn't think it would work,I really didn't,"Long said.
Fortunately,there was one thing Johnny hadn't considered:the devotion of his former students.Now,once a week during the concert season,they drive in from all over the south and across the decades.
65-year-old Bobby Johnson was in Long's first college class.He lives in Atlanta and drives 3hours to practice.Johnson said he does it because Long's"such a unique character and I just admire him so much."
Many people do it for the same reason."He's the single biggest influence on my career.""He was a father figure to me.He's just a genuine person."
Long said he wanted to be remembered as a teacher."I think‘teacher'is the greatest word in the English language,next to‘mother'."

21.What Long got most from bands wasA.
A.pleasure     
B.health     
C.wealth       
D.honor
22.Why did Long retire 14years ago?C
A.Because he found no band talent in Troy.
B.Because he was tired of working as a director.
C.Because he hoped to spend more time with his wife.
D.Because he found his students were not devoted to music.
23.The words of Long's students show thatC.
A.Long treated his students like a father
B.Long was born to be a good teacher
C.Long influenced his students greatly
D.Long was very special as a teacher
24.What's the main idea of the text?D
A.Johnny Long still teaches at the age of 85.

Making connections This technique involves taking(54)Bideas and trying to find links between them.First,think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do.Then find an image,word,idea or object,for example,a candle.Write down all the idea/words(55)Dwith candles:light,fire,matches,wax,night,silence,etc.Think of as many as you can.The next stage is to relate the(56)Ato the job you have to do.So imagine you want to but a friend an original(57)C; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.

Be someone else!Look at the situation from a (62)Cpoint of view.Good businessmen use this technique in trade,and so do writes.Fiction writers often imagine they are the(63)Din their books.They ask question:What does this character want?Why can't she get it?What changes must she make to get what she wants?If your goal involves other people,put yourself in their(65)A.The best fishermen think like fish!
