2.We went to the B.T Blackstone Library,not far from Lake Michigan,once a week.You could easily miss the building if you didn't know what you were looking for.But once you were inside,you could never mistake it for anything else.We passed through two sets of heavy brass doors to the lobby of the library.And if we turned right then,we could see an alcove with tables; this led,in turn,to a big reading room with a great and ancient globe that sat in front of the largest windows.At some time during every visit I found my way into that room to touch the globe.I liked to look at Africa,with the coded colors of the different countries like the Belgian Congo and Rhodesia,and try to remember which countries were fighting to be free just as we were struggling for civil rights.I had heard Daddy talking about the struggle,arguing with the television as someone discussed it on a news show.
On Saturday,as I wandered through the young adult section.I saw a title:Little Women,by Louisa May Alcott.I could tell from looking at the shelf that she'd written a lot of books,but I didn't know anything about her.I had learned from experience that titles weren't everything.A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home,and every bad book I brought home meant one less book to read until we went back in a week.So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs:
"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents"grumbled Jo,lying on the rug.
"It's so dreadful to be poor"sighed Med,looking down at her old dress.
"I don't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things,and other girls nothing at all"added little Amy,with an injured sniff.
"We have got Father and Mother and each other."said Beth contentedly from her corner.
It was a thing I had decided on some other books to take home,because I didn't look through the rest of the section that day.I read and read and read Little Women it was time to walk home,and expect for a few essential interruptions like sleeping and eating,I wouldn't put it down until the end.Even the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in girls who could almost be like me,especially Jo.It seemed to me a shame that she wasn't Black:then our similarity would be complete.She loved to read,she loved to make up plays,she hated acting ladylike,she had a dreadful temper.I had found a kindred spirit.

56.What can be learned about the author's father according to Paragraph 1?B
A.He was uncomfortable discussing politics with his children
B.He had strong feelings about the Civil Rights movement.
C.He didn't approve of most news covered on TV.
D.He generally had a pessimistic world view.
57.It can be inferred from Paragraph 2that the author is most likely to agreeD.
A.books seem duller when read in libraries than when read at home.
B.interesting books are often very dull in their first few paragraphs.
C.novels are usually more interesting than nonfiction works.

A.convey the impact of an unexpected discovery.
B.Describe a young reader's sense of history.
C.Illustrate the suddenness of a decision.
D.Explain a child's misunderstanding.

A.challenge an interpretation
B.highlight some differences
C.stress a comparison
D.develop a disapproving opinion.

59.C.理解推断题.由最后一段She loved to read,she loved to make up plays,she hated acting ladylike,she had a dreadful temper.I had found a kindred spirit.她喜欢阅读,她喜欢玩,她讨厌表演淑女,脾气不好.我找到了一位志趣相投的人,可知描写乔是和我形成比较,故选C.

点评 本篇文章难点在推断题上.推断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断.这种推理方式比较直接,考生只要弄清事实,即可结合上下文推断出合理的结论.

10.When Charles Lee handed me the small notebook,he changed my life.It was a one-week homestay before college began and I was staying with Charles in his cottage."You are young and doing a lot of exciting things,"Charles said."But I promise,you will forget them if you don't write them down."
I took his advice.I wrote in the notebook every day during the homestay.Back in London,I recorded weekend trips,commented on my school and compared my life at a small college with my wandering through the streets of London.When I wrote in the notebook,I once struggled with a sense of my audience and purpose.Who would read this?Was there some purpose for this daily exercise?Later,I developed a sense of vision for the task.I was recording events and thoughts that were important to my life.I wondered where I would be,what my life would be like.I continued writing in notebooks for four decades.They filled two boxes in my garage.
Recently,I decided to open my notebook boxes and replay my life.As I opened the first box,I suddenly felt there was a risk in opening that first notebook.Would I like the former me recorded on those pages?I did it anyway.The pages showed highlights from college classes and stories about friends.I read anxious comments.I reflected on my coming wedding,and the proud moments when I held each of my daughters.And I recorded more trips.
These writings formed a continuous thread through my life,a connection between my past,present,and future.It took several long evenings to read through the notebooks,taking me on a 42-year retrospective (怀旧) tour.It was then I realized:I am now the person I was writing to throughout those years.

B.The future life in four decades.

7.Many teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with the students.If a long reading assignment is given,instructors expect students to be familiar with information in the reading even if they do not discuss (61)it in class or take an examination.The ideal student is considered to be one who (62)is motivated (motivate) to learn for the sake of learning,not the one interested only in (63)getting (get) high grades.Sometimes homework is returned  (64)with  brief written comments but without a grade.Even if a grade is not given,the student is responsible for learning the material (65)assignedassign).When research is assigned,the professor expects the student to take it  (66)actively (active) and to complete it with minimum(67)guidance(guide).It is the student's responsibility to find books,magazines,and articles in the library.Professors don't have the time to explain  (68)how  a university library works; they expect students,especially graduate students,to be able to exhaust the reference origins in the library.Professors will help students who need it,but prefer that their students should not be too (69)dependent  (depend) on them.In the United States,professors have many other duties besides teaching,such as research work,(70)so  the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited.If a student has problems with classroom work,the student should either approach a professor during office hours or make an appointment.
11.The decisions that we make shape us throughout our lives.No matter what decisions we make,good or had,each one puts us on a new road in the future.Make a had decision?No problem.Learn from the decision and make another decision to get on a different path.This is advice that I got from Tony Robbins in his hook Awaken the Giant Within.This is a hook that I recommend to anyone wanting to develop a fire within to make changes in their life.It helped me to understand how fear of making poor choices was hindering me from becoming the great man who I am today.Now I am not saying that I am a well-known person in any particular circle.But I am the king of my castle working hard and trying to make good decisions in regard to the paths that I have chosen.I am a great man in the eyes of my wife and my children.And that is all the recognition that I need in my lifetime.And I know that my past failures have been the building block that I continue to use to build my career and self-image in my community that I live in.
Ben Lerer,cofounder and CEO of Thrillist Wedia Group,is a good example of this.In an article on the Fast Company website.Lerer talks about this very subject.He says,"I've had to make some really tough decisions hut finally,I think the best companies are those that can recognize when something isn't going right,and fix it,instesd of just turning a blind eye because it's easier."Great people make decisions.When a decision does not have the desired result,make a different decision.It does not get any simpler than that.

29.From Tony Robbins'book Awaken the Giant Within,the writer knewD
A.making a had decision is very terrible
B.making decisions helps us become a great man
C.being afraid to make a had decision is very natural
D.learning from the had decision can help make a new choice
30.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?B
A.A had decision has a had effect on people.
B.The best company can admit and correct a bad decision.
C.People should learn how to make a good decision.
D.Waking a decision is much simpler than changing one.
31.What could he the best title of the passage?C
