3．Reading with Rover is a reading program where children read to dogs．In addition to Reading with Rover，which is based on Washington state，there are many such reading programs around the country．The goal of all these programs is to improve the reading skills of children with reading problems by having children read to dogs．
    When reading aloud in the classroom，many children with reading problems and poor reading skills feel frightened．They have little confidence in themselves and are afraid of being laughed at．They may also feel that reading is difficult，boring and stressful．However，when children read to dogs，reading becomes a fun and non-stressful experience for both the children and the dogs．Dogs don't criticize，judge or laugh at the children's reading ability．
    Reading with Rover and other programs like it have been a huge success，resulting in improved reading skills for a significant number of participating children with reading problems．In addition to making learning enjoyable，when children read to dogs，it increases their sense of worth and self-confidence．
    As part of the Reading with Rover program，the children read to dogs that are registered therapy dogs．These are dogs that have been trained and tested．Along with their owners，these dogs have become registered therapy teams．
    A recent research study was conducted by the University of California，which concluded that when children read to dogs，it can increase their reading skills by thirty percent．
    Children who took part in this study remarked，"I feel relaxed when I am reading to a dog because I am having fun．""The dogs don't care if you read really badly so you just keep going．"
    When children read to dogs and improve their reading skills，it becomes just another example of how wonderful dogs are and how important they are to our society．

56．What's the aim of Reading with Rover？（no more than 10 words）To improve the reading skills of children with reading problems．
57．Why does reading become a fun and non-stressful experience when children read to dogs？（no more than 12 words）
Because dogs don't criticize，judge or laugh at the children's reading ability．
58．What's Paragraph 3 mainly about？（no more than 12 words）The benefits of Reading with Rover and other programs like it．
59．What does the word"conducted"mean in the fifth paragraph？（no more than 2 words）carried out．/performed．/done．
60．What do you think of Reading with Rover and other programs like it？（no more than 25 words）I think they touch me a lot，because it becomes just another example of how wonderful dogs are and how important they are to our society．．

6．Does this situation seem familiar to you？Your English is progressing well，the grammar is now familiar，the reading comprehension is no problem，and you are speaking quite fluently．（16）C．
    First of all，remember that you are not alone．Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language．The most important thing is to listen as often as possible.17E．The Internet is really a useful tool for English students．You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia．com．The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station．
   Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis，you might still be frustrated by limited understanding．（18）A．
   Here is some of the advice I give my students：
●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything．
●Stay re laxed when you do not understand，and try listening to the material for more times．
●Do not translate everything into your native language．
●（19）B．Don't concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas．
●Listen to something you enjoy．
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany．In the beginning，when I didn't understand a word，I insisted on translating it in my mind．This method usually r esulted in confusion．（20）G．Firstly，translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker．Secondly，most people repeat themselves constantly．By remaining calm，I noticed that even if I did not pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said．

A．What should you do？
B．Listen for the general idea of the conversation．
C．But you can't follow a native English speaker at all!
D．But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!
E．So，what you need to do is to find listening resources．
F．However，after several weeks，I got used to the new environment in Germany．
G．Then，after the first six months，I discovered two extremely important facts．
13．The Maggi noodles cook in two minutes and are popular among children and students．The food manufacturer（生产商） Nestle sells about $240 million worth of the noodles every year．However，tests show Maggi noodles contain large amounts of the heavy metal---lead（铅）．
   India's food safety agency declared（宣布） Maggi noodles unsafe to eat．Supermarkets in at least six states have banned（禁止） the product up to now．Fortunately，nobody died of eating Maggi noodles．The recall（召回） of Maggi noodles is one of India's largest food actions of all time．
   Nestle has refused the test results．It says the product is made according to the international food safety standard．Nestle has asked for an examination of the government's testing method．Several countries，including Canada and Britain，also have suggested a reliable test on Maggi noodles．But India's food safety agency stands by（支持） its reports．
   Food safety experts note that India's food safety agency is just seven years old．India has met such food scares before．In 2006，a New Delhi environmental group raised questions about small amounts of pesticide（杀虫剂） in Coca-Cola and Pepsi drinks．Packaged food is not as safe as it appears to be．So the testing of packaged food should be happening more regularly，especially for the bigger products which are circulated in millions．
    A number of Maggi noodles fans are not persuaded of the food threat．ShwetaAndrew says，"I don't think there is any problem in having Maggi．I have grown up having Maggi，and it does not matter really．"Nestle Chief Executive Paul Bulcke says he is working with India to remove the ban．And Nestle will spare no effort to win back the trust of customers．
32．What has happened to Maggi noodles in India？D

33．According to Paragraph 3，the ban on Maggi noodlesC
A．wins support                            
B．proves practical    
C．causes disagreements                    
D．sounds convincing
34．What can we learn from the food safety experts？A
A．The testing of packaged food is needed．
B．India is inexperienced with food problems
C．The test results of Maggi noodles are reliable．
D．Food from large companies is usually safe enough．
35．What can we infer from the last paragraph？B
A．India is sure to correct the test results．
B．Many people will still eat Maggi noodles．
C．Nestle can do nothing to remove the ban 
D．Shweta Andrew is disappointed at Maggi noodles．
3．How many times have you laughed today？Have you ever wondered what makes you laugh？In the whole animal kingdom，only we humans are capable （有能力的） of laughter．On average，we laugh about 17times a day．
Laughter is a spontaneous reaction of the body to some-thing funny or pleasant．Have you noticed that when you laugh，many parts of your body respond （反应）？Your face changes expression，your breathing changes，and muscles throughout your body are affected．
An interesting story dates back to 1962．In a school in Tanganyika，in Africa，a group of schoolgirls started laughing uncontrollably over a joke．This laughter became epidemic （传染的），jumping from one person to the next，spreading across communities，and lasting for six months!So strong was the"laughter epidemic"that schools had to shut down till it ended．
How we laugh remains a mystery．Whatever the reasons，laughter，as the saying goes，"is the best medicine．"In fact，science has proven that being happy and laughing can not only keep us healthy and fit but help deal with serious illnesses．
Laughing exercises all the important muscles，and keeps you fit．People have started forming laughter clubs that use laughter to treat illnesses．They meet at specific places at fixed times and laugh together．Laughter spreads，so this exercise works best in groups； once one person starts laughing，others automatically （自动地） join in．
32．The underlined word"spontaneous"in the second paragraph probably means"B"．
A．perfect            
B．natural          
C．strange           
D．terrible
33．People have formed laughter clubs toD．
A．kill time          
B．relax         
C．meet others        
D．keep healthy
34．The best title for the passage would beC．

D．The Relationship Between Laughter and Health
35．The passage is probably taken from a（n）A．
A．health magazine        
B．ad          
C．novel         
D．medical book．
10．I benefit a lot a lot from my acquaintance with him．和他的交往中我获益颇多．
7．Like many other people，I love my smart phone，which keeps me connected with the larger world that can go anywhere with me．I also love my laptop，because it holds all of my writing and thoughts．In spite of this love of technology，I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others．
On occasion，I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers．My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas．Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom，I have a rule-no laptop，iPads，phones，etc．When students were told my rule in advance of the class，some of them were not happy．
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology．There's a bit of truth to that．Some students assume that I am anti-technology．There's no truth in that at all．I love technology and try to keep up with it，so I can relate to my students．
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas．Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas．I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas．I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course materials and the class discussion．
I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create．Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge，they learn at a level that helps them keep the course materials beyond the classroom．
I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class，but until I hear a really good reason for the change，I'm sticking to my plan．A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up．

56．Some of the students in the history class were unhappy withB．
A．the course materials
B．the author's class regulations
C．discussion topics
D．others'misuse of technology
57．Which of the following statements is true？D
A．The author made the rule in that he was against technology．
B．The author made the rule mainly because of his unpleasant experiences．
C．The author's history class received low assessment．
D．The students think highly of the author's history class．
58．According to the author，the use of technology in the classroom mayD．
A．allow students to get on well with each other
B．improve teaching and offer more help
C．help students to better understand complex themes
D．prohibit students being involved in class
59．What can we infer from the passage？A
A．The author will carry on the success in the future．
B．Some students will be punished according to the rule．
C．More and more students will be absent in history class．
D．The author will help students concentrate on what they learn．
