【题目】Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of absorbing. Reading should be active, not passive.

When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to “look at weak places in your armor(盔甲)”, and shows you how to fill up the blanks in your knowledge. On the other hand, it is no good just trying to fill your mind with knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range(范围) of learning, like a silly tourist going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose, and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the qualities of the cultured man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.

1The writer thinks that one must ___________.

A. read as many books as he can

B. read books on the subjects that interest him

C. read and absorb a lot

D. try to read books on all the different subjects

2A cultured man is similar to a camel because __________.

A. neither of them is interested in knowledge

B. both of them have the ability to select

C. neither of them can be considered wise

D. the man reads books as much as a camel eats grass

3The term “mental food” refers to ____________-.

A. grassland B. subjects

C. books D. brain

4In the second paragraph the writer mainly discusses___________.

A. how to compare furniture with books B. why books must be absorbed

C. how to select reading materials D. why students go to a library

【题目】Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adult who call it home are single. Many single people say that France’s capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as “supermarket dating.” At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes, brown hair, and is 1.8 meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.

At this Paris location, single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. When they walk through the door, they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles.

With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.

Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish(美化)one’s appearance or to lie about one’s age over the Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition, what one finds in another’s grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person’s character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man’s way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living. These days it’s possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.

1What do many single people in Pairs complain about?

A. The difficulty in meeting people.

B. The idea of supermarket dating.

C. The items on their grocery list.

D. The inconvenience in shopping.

2Which of the following can be inferred but is not clearly stated in the second paragraph?

A. The dating supermarket is located in Paris.

B. The dating supermarket is open only on Thursday evenings.

C. People looking for love must get a basket of a particular color

D. The dating supermarket has very good business.

3How do love shoppers meet one another?

A. They schedule their meeting in advance.

B. They go through a special checkout.

C. They pick out their groceries with great care.

D. They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items.

4Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating?

A. The supermarket dating is more convenient.

B. The supermarket dating is more casual.

C. The supermarket dating can be trusted more.

D. The supermarket dating is less expensive.

【题目】Given the tradition of students bringing apples to their teachers, it somehow seems fitting that an old apple barn(谷仓)will find a new life as a one-room schoolhouse. And it is just as fitting that a retired schoolteacher will become the caretaker of that historic treasure.

My friend Velma, a teacher for more than 30 years, has been retired for some time now, but that doesn’t stop her giving history lessons at the old Englewood School,located on her family’s

California farm. The lovingly restored building was constructed around 1850 as a home for a woodsman and later was used as apple barn. Then, in 1870 it began a new life as a schoolhouse.

Originally located in the nearby Englewood meadow, it was now moved its current site in 1978 by Velma’s late husband and his brother, Robert and Richard, who thought it would help keep

Velma busy in retirement. No nails had been used in the original construction, so each piece of wood had to be carefully marked and the building was reassembled(重装)on its new site. The brothers worked with much care and hard work to ensure a perfect fit of mitered(斜接的)corners.

After the relocation, Velma and her family furnished the school with some of its original desks. They also added a collection of schoolbooks, the oldest dating back to 1845. Perhaps the school’s most cherished souvenir is the diploma of student Hettie Essig, who graduated on June 30, 1904. Hettie’s daughter, Flora, presented Velma with the precious keepsake.

Nowadays Velma gives tours to local schoolchildren and other groups, who learn what it was like to attend school back in the good old days. She has kids ring the school bell, recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing “Good Morning to You” as they might have done in days gone by. Then, with twinkling eyes and much enthusiasm, she tells the history of the school, and gives a short sample lesson.

1The Englewood School was originally built as __________.

A. a man’ s house B. a schoolhouse

C. a restroom D. an apple barn

2Which word can best describe the school’s being relocated?

A. Inspiring B. Refreshing

C. fashionable D. Challenging

3What does the underlined part “the precious keepsake” in Para.4 mean?

A. The school’s original supplies

B. The collection of schoolbooks

C. The oldest schoolbook

D. The diploma of Hettie Essig.

4Which can serve as the best title of the passage?

A. The Good Old Days in the Schoolhouse

B. A Mysterious Building with a Long History

C. A Historic One-room Schoolhouse

D. A Teacher Devoted to Restoring Old Buildings

【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式,并填在答题卡的相应位置。

In 1916 the United States started the world's first national park system. Since then, it 【1】 (serve)as a model for other countries that try to better protect the environment and let people enjoy nature.

A national park is a reserve of land 2 (declare) and owned by the government, protected from human development and pollution. Now China is planning its own national parks system. On Dec 5, China passed two pilot plans for national parks 3 (protect) the giant panda, Siberian tiger and Amur leopard.

But national parks are not only for animals. In mid-2015, China started to build pilot national parks in nine provinces. 4 most famous one is the Sanjiangyuan national park on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It aims to protect Chinas water source. Sanjiangyuan, or Source of Three Rivers, is 5 the Yellow, Yangtze, and Lancang rivers start.

Before this national park project, China had set 6 thousands of nature parks, forests and scenic areas as protected areas. However, they havent been managed well 7 too many different organizations have been involved in the protection of the different areas, according to the China Daily. Under the new plan, national parks will cover big areas and include different protected areas.

For example, the habitats of wild pandas lie in different provinces and 8 (cut) into even smaller pieces by railways, roads and power lines. This makes isolated panda groups more open to 9 (dangerous). The panda national park will cover all the habitats and make the protection of animals as comprehensive as possible.

But this increased protection doesnt mean national parks will shut their doors to humans. Instead, the new system will offer people a chance to 【10 (deep) feel nature.
