12.Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills(读写能力),With their shining brown eyes,wagging tails,and unconditional love,dogs can provide the non-judgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence,according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City.The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children,with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ).
The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea."Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group,often have lower self-respect,and regard reading as a headache."said Lisa Myton,manager of the children's department.
Last November the two groups started"Dog Day Afternoon"in the children's department of the main library.About 25children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes,reading for half an hour.Those who attended three or four of the classes received a"paw graphed"book at the last class.
The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April,according to Dana Thumpowsky,public relations manager.

32.What is mainly discussed in the text?A
A.A special reading program.    B.Advantages of raising dogs.

分析 本文主要讲述了对着狗阅读是一种极不寻常的帮助孩子培养读写能力的方法

解答 32.A 主旨题.根据文章内容Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills(读写能力),以及The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children,主要讲述了对着狗阅读是一种极不寻常的帮助孩子培养读写能力的方法;第3、4段则以实例证明,这一方案非常成功.由此可知,A为正确选项.
33.C  推理题.第1段中有…dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners(此处幽默隐喻道破以狗"助读"的原理)needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence;第2段中又有关于这类读写困难儿童的特征,也提到"often have lower self-respect".两处综合,再结合常识,可以判断出利用小狗来助读的原因在于这样做能够提高孩子们的自信心,也就是provide encouragement for silly children,C项与此相符.
34.B 细节题.根据文章内容,尤其本句出现在第2段开头,其中所说的idea即指上文中由ITA推出的READ项目,下文则有该图书馆儿童部负责人对此idea表示赞同的一番评论,四个选项中,只有B项提及对于the idea的态度,应为正确答案.
35.C 根据上下文可以推断,"paw graphed"book是由完成了大部分该项课程(who attended three of the four classes)的孩子在last class时会收到的一本书,也就是由组织者发放的一件"prize".

点评 本文是人物故事类阅读理解.做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据

4.(36)EYou probably think you will never be a top student.This is not necessarily so,however.Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.Here's how:
Plan your time carefully.When planning your work,you should make a list of things that you have to do.After making this list,you should make a schedule of your time.First your time for eating,sleeping,dressing,etc.Then decide a good,regular time for studying.(37)B A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems,but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study.Look around the house for a good study area.Keep this space,which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room,free of everything but study materials.No games,radios,or television.When you sit down to study,concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class.(38)CListening carefully in class means less work later.Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly.When you get home from school,go over your notes,review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day,read that material.(39)FIf you do these things regularly,the material will become more meaningful,and you'll remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards tests.The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject.They help you remember your new knowledge.The world won't end if you don't pass a test,so don't be over worried.
(40)A You will probably discover many others after you have tried these methods.

A.There are other methods that might help you with your studying.
B.Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.
C.Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.
D.No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.
E.Maybe you are an average student.
F.Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.
G.This will help you understand the next class.
