题目内容

14．This brief book is aimed at high school students，but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life．Its formal，serious style closely matches its content，a school-masterly book on schooling．
The author，W．H．Armstrong，starts with the basics：reading and writing．In his opinion，reading doesn't just mean recognizing each word on the page； it means taking in the information，digesting it and combining it with oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself．The goal is to bring the information back to life，not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees．Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other； in fact，the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text．
Only a third of the book remains after that discussion，which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages，math，science and history．He generally handles these topics thoroughly and equally，except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion（激情）regarding history to his students，that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across．To my disappointment，in this part of the book he ignores the arts．As a matter of fact，they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do，though the study differs slightly in kind．Although it's commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired，actually，learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics．
My other comment is that the text aged．The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s．As a result，the discussion misses the entire computer age．
These are small points，though，and don't affect the main discussion．I recommend it to any student and any teacher，including the self-taught student．

24．According to Armstrong，the goal of reading is toC．
A．gain knowledge and expand one's view
B．understand the meaning between the lines
C．express ideas based on what one has read
D．get information and keep it alive in memory
25．The author of the passage insists that learning the artsA．
A．requires great effort
B．demands real passion
C．is less difficult than learning maths
D．is as natural as learning a language
26．This passage is most probablyB．
A．an advertisement
B．a book review
C．a feature story
D．a news report．

分析 本篇文章为说明文．对W．H．Armstrong的Study is Hard一书所做的书评．文章通过介绍本书的阅读对象，写作内容以及作者对本书优缺点的评价，向读者推荐这本书．

解答 24．C．细节理解题．第二段的the aim ofreading is to express the information you have got from the text阅读的目的是表达你从文章里获得信息，故选C．
25．A．细节理解题．文章第三段As a matter of fact，they（the arts）demand all the concentration and study that math and science do，though the study differs slightly in kind．可知学习艺术虽然要有先天的禀赋，然而与学习数学和理科一样也要后天的努力．故选A．
26．B．推理判断题．第四段的My other commentis that the text aged我的其他评论是文本的年龄．可判断本文中作者对Armstrong's work进行评论．Book review书评．故选B．

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

Dear Editor，
I am Li Hua，a senior student from Hong Xing High School．
Nowadays，with the development of our society，more and more cultural relics are facing the danger of disappearing．（高分句型一）So we must attach importance to the problem and try our best to protect them．
First，cultural relics represent our historic cultures，which offer us a great opportunity to learn about what happened in the past．（高分句型二）Also，they are the roots of a city or a place．They can help us make our traditional cultures handed down from generation to generation．More importantly，most of them have survived for a long time and they are usually very rare and valuable．
For above reasons，with the World Cultural Heritage Daycoming，we shouldn't hesitate to call on people to take action to save our treasures．（高分句型三）Ihope more and more people will become concerned about protecting our cultural relics．


Sincerely
Li Hua

2．Make home a happier place to beSometimes，kids don't think their parents are fair to them．When you want do dress in a modern way，your mum doesn't approve of what you're wearing．When you are making phone calls to friends，they ask if you're speaking to a boy or a girl．Sometimes，it seems that you're not at close to your parents as you used to be．（36）C
Closing the Gap，by American author Jay McGraw，gives advice on how to have a better relationship with your parents．（37）GWhen you think"my parents don't want me to have any fun，"that usually means your parents want you to be safe．（38）DThey need to feel they are important and loved．You should tell your parents your needs，and find out what their needs are．Then，you can think of a way to make all of you happy．The book gives you some ideas．

9．I still remember the first day of fourth grade．Later that day，my teacher read us a chapter from Tme Hitches by Roald Dahl．Instantly．I was impressed by Roald Dahl's clever and amusing style of writing，as well as the complex details of his story．It was as if the writing had flown off the paper and been illustrated（插画）into a picture book．To this day，I consider Roald Dahl my hero because of his exceptional play of words that has led me to understand the power of writing．
Through writing．Roald Dahl was able to show readers the wonderful but mysterious path of life．He shared with others the strong feelings of great success，joy，tragedy and violent anger．Reading his books．is often like riding emotional roller coasters，where one moment，you are alongside the characters，laughing at their foolishness，but the next moment crying for their mistakes．
I remember when I first read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory，a classic novel about a penniless family whose son，Charlie，found a golden ticket that changed their lives．The story was centered on how anyone has the chance for success，but unfortunately also the chances of letting their ego（自我）override their moral values（道德价值）．Through Roald Dahl's carefully planned plot，Charlie showed me the childish joys of life are often overlooked，when they are actually the foundations for success．He showed me the bitter realities of life，where sometimes，others will move on without you．But mostly，Charlie and the Chocolate Factory opened my eyes to the world of reading-where there would always be a character by your side，guiding you through your own life journey．
Although I have never met Roald Dahl personally，I was able to understand and gain insight（洞察）into his personality through the characters he developed in his novels．Roald Dahl used his understandings to skillfully strengthenthe characters'thoughts and actions．Roald Dahl is my hero．He is able to put lifelong lessons and his brilliant imagination into a simple novel that can be understood by anybody．
Roald Dahl's wrting is admirable not only hSfmSand characters，but also because of he grcat eforts he put into developing his unique and individual style of writing．

24．What can we learn about Roald Dahl's writing？B
A．It's full of illustrations．
B．It's humorous and vivid．
C．It's difficult to understand．
D．It's intended for adult readers．
25．What can we infer about Roald Dahl from Paragraph 2？D
A．He enjoyed riding roller coasters．
B．He often created stupid characters．
C．He was easily affected by others'feelings．
D．He could arouse strong emotions in readers．
26．What do we know about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory？A
A．It deeply influences the author．
B．It talks about Charlie's weaknesses．
C．It's based on Roald Dahl's experiences．
D．It's Roald Dahl's most successful novel．
27．What does the author say about the characters Roald Dahl created？C
A．They have strong beliefs．
B．They have simple thoughts．
C．They reflect Roald Dahl's inner world．
D．They are developed from Roald Dahl's friends．

6．You may have had Chinese food in Chinese restaurants in your country．Have you noticed some differences that you may not know between Chinese and western eating？
1．Chopsticks vs．knives and forks．Chinese usually share their dishes with others．Chinese cooks usually cut everything into bite size pieces，thus people don't need knives to cut it，and just pick up their food with chopsticks．Westerners usually enjoy individual（个人的）servings（36）E．
2．Seasoning bottles．（37）F．But if you have breakfast at a dumpling and steamed bun shop，you can increase the flavor with soy sauce or vinegar from a bottle poured into a dipping dish．
3．（38）A．Sweet desserts are served after western dinners，while Chinese have fresh fruit or tea for dessert．
4．Round tables vs．square tables．Chinese traditionally eat at round tables，particularly family meals，as it's convenient to share dishes with others，especially with a lady．Roundness symbolizes unity in China．（39）G．
5．Cooking methods．Where westerners limit themselves to boiling，frying，roasting，and baking usually，Chinese use more methods of cooking，like steaming and quick-frying．（40）C．However，westerners use more butter，sunflower oil，and olive oil．
Hopefully sharing these differences will help you prepare for your experience，and has given you some insights into Chinese and western culture．

A．Desserts．
B．Fresh fruit and tea．
C．Chinese usually use animal or peanut oil to fry food．
D．Chinese usually don't remove bones，and just cut them and the meat into pieces．
E．They cook food in big pieces and serve it with knives and forks for cutting it up．
F．You usually won't find any salt，pepper．or tomato sauce on the table in a Chinese restaurant．
G．Westerners eat at square tables，which is much easier for individual meals，with long tables for bigger groups．
3．I had a lot of kindness supplies for my trip．（36）EI thought of two bars of chocolates for the airport bus drivers，and a bag of chocolates for the flight crew（乘务人员），but I didn't consider pilots!
I gave the first bar of chocolate to the shuttle bus driver who was very happy．（37）G"Oh，thank you，we have got a long shift，so thank your"Then we were interrupted（打断）by a smiling face from the pilot who asked if they were for him．I laughed and said there could be a special prize if there was a smooth landing at the end．
Well，a strong current（气流）was not ever going to be a smooth landing．（38）CThe plane shook，bounced，lurched，and dropped．We landed on first attempt．Planes arriving at this airport sometimes do a few attempts，so it was good flying to get us down on the first try．
Unusually the cabin was silent through the landing．The cabin crew made a funny comment about it being the quietest landing ever!
（39）FI said I had some more chocolates，and asked if she wouldn't mind giving it to the pilot．She said I could go into the cockpit and give it to him myself．I did．（40）BThose pilots well deserved a treat．I'll know next time to bring a few more kindness supplies．

Charlie Chaplin，master of nonverbal humor，was born into a poor family．When he was young，his father died，leaving the family even worse off．Therefore，Charlie had to take the responsibility to care for his mother and brother．Even if he led a hard life，he managed to brighten the life of other people and created many famous characters，such as the littletramp，who encouraged many people in need．（高分句型一）
The reasons why I likeChaplin best are listed as follows．（高分句型二）Firstly，he worked hard to achieve his dream．Secondly，he had a sense of humor and was good at making a bad situation entertaining．What's more，his attitude towards life and determination to overcome difficulties always inspire me whenever I am in trouble．（高分句型三）
In general，I have learnt a lot from Charlie Chaplin．．
