9、A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and his 12-year-old daughter in downtown San Francisco. A street musician, whom my friend happened to know from his own musician day, was playing the saxophone on a street corner. His name was Clifford, and he had attracted a large crowd with his performance. After he finished, my friend introduced him to me and his daughter. Clifford asked his daughter if she played any instruments. When she replied that she was taking trumpet(小号) lessons and played in her junior high school band(乐队), he said, “That’s fine, little lady. Learn  your instrument well and you can play anything.”

Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as appropriate not only for a trumpet player but also for a reader. If you learn to read well, you can read anything you want－not just newspapers and magazines, but more difficult material like philosophy, film criticism, military history－whatever interests you as your confidence grows. You would not be limited in any way. If you have the vocabulary－or at least a good dictionary near at hand－you can pick up a book, concentrate on it, and make sense of the author’s words.

In the United States, reading instruction often ends at elementary school, so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school. They must take their assignment armed only with their elementary school reading skills. The result, too often, is frustration(挫折) and loss of confidence. And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school. Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish several tasks: to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension, to help you cope with reading assignment with confidence, and to teach you to become an active reader.

1．The talk between the girl and Clifford serves as an introduction to ___________.

       A．the importance of reading

       B．the connection between playing instruments and reading

       C．the necessity of learning to play an instrument

       D．the variety of reading materials

2．It can be inferred from the story that ___________.

       A．Clifford was good at playing the saxophone

       B．the author’s friend was once a street musician

       C．the 12-year-old girl played the trumpet very poorly

       D．Clifford was a good music teacher

3．We can infer from the last paragraph that Developing Reading Skills __________.

       A．is directed to elementary school students

       B．centers around vocabulary building skills

       C．aims at helping students read better

       D．offers elementary reading skills

4．The underlined word “struck” in paragraph 2 most probably means __________.

       A．impressed            B．influenced            C．proved                D．awakened

5．With good reading skills, you can ________.

       A．understand anything you read without difficulty

       B．work out the author’s meaning if only you concentrate on the book

       C．understand what you read with the help of a good dictionary

       D．concentrate on whatever you read

8、Some people try to protect their children from unpleasant realities like illness, financial loss and death. But doctors point out that children can often end up feeling left out if they are old enough to understand what’s going on, but are not told the truth about family worries.

One widowed father told me how deeply he regretted that he and his late wife did not tell their son that his mother was dying of leukemia(白血病). “For months we kept that truth to ourselves. We thought we were protecting our son from emotional pain,” he recalled. “It was a great mistake. I had time to prepare myself. But my wife’s death stunned our boy. It was years before he trusted me again.”

Says Judith Davenport, a psychotherapist(心理治疗医师) who practises in Santa Monica, California. “It’s important to let children experience the reality of death, if it can be done in an atmosphere of love and caring. A child whose sibling, parent or grandparent is seriously ill can be made to feel helpful by being allowed to run errands(跑腿) or answer the phone. Even a very young child can comfort a sick loved one with a brief cheering visit.”

In many matters, if children are not told the facts about a financial setback, says Grace W. Weinstein, writer of Children and Money, they may imagine the worst. For example, they might think they’ll have no food to eat or will lose their home, when the simple reality may be that luxuries(奢侈品) will have to be taken away.

Even the busiest family can arrange to share a relaxed evening meal together at least once or twice a week. Mealtimes are often the only time that families can engage in stimulating(机动人心的) conversations.

Says Michael Abrahams, a licensed(得到许可的) clinical social worker in Rockville, MD. “How mealtime is used to argue or talk, discipline or praise is a good barometer(晴雨表) of whether a family is drifting apart or drawing closer.”

Another way to strengthen family closeness is to encourage your youngsters to invite a friend

for dinner from time to time, giving each child a turn at choosing the guest. This makes parents get to know their children’s friends, and also helps youngsters feel they are respected members of the family.

A joint endeavor can be stimulating if you choose one that everyone enjoys. Try planting and cultivating a garden, or organizing that box of old snapshots into a family album(相册), or learning how to bake bread from starch.

One father recalls the shared sense of success he and his son experienced when they finished building a dining-room table. “We started six months ago with plants and planks,” he says. “When the job was done, we looked at each other and said, ‘We did it1’”

1．The passage is written mainly for _____________

       A．parents                B．children               C．social workers     D．teachers

2．Judging from the passage, what does “sibling” in the third paragraph mean?

       A．Friend                 B．Brother and sister C．Cousin                D．Relative

3．What does the writer suggest in order to strengthen family ties?

       A．Youngsters should invite friends to dinner at home.

       B．Parents had better plant and cultivate a vegetable garden.

       C．Make sure to let the child, no matter how old he is, know right now if somebody in your        family is going to die.

       D．Parents should tell their children of financial setback in the family in order that they get        prepared psychologically(心理上)。

4．Why does building a dinner-room table give the father and his son shared sense of success?

       A．Because building a table a great pleasure.

       B．Because others didn’t believe that they could finally do it.

       C．Because a dining-room table is very important to the family.

       D．Because they achieve something by doing something together.

7、Scientists have uncovered the exact difference between man and mouse. Teams of scientists from around the world will publish today the draft(草图) genome(基因组) of the mouse, which enables them for the first time to compare another mammal’s entire DNA directly with that of a human.

The similarities are far greater than the difference－man and mouse share a comman ancestor that lived more than 70 million years ago－which has allowed scientists to find treatments for a good many human diseases.

British members of the project say the draft mouse genome, published in the journal Nature, has provided the “phrasebook” for scientists to translate the language of the human genome.

“The entire biomedical research community said for the first time fully using this resource to deal with human diseases. They will now have powerful tools that will serve them for many years to come,” said Dr. Jane Rogers, head of sequencing at the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which did 20 percent of the work.

Comparisons show almost every gene in the mouse has a corresponding(对应的) gene in humans－a 99 percent similarity that should help to find how each human gene works. Already the work has been able to show that man and mouse each have about 30,000 genes yet only 300 or so are unique to either species, increasing the value of the lab mouse as a “model” for human genetics.

This is an extraordinary milestone. For the first time we have an opportunity to see ourselves in an evolutionary(进化的) mirror. The mouse genome stands for a very important chapter in the lab notebook of evolution. By taking away genes to create sick mice, scientists have been able to reproduce a number disorders. Knowing the entire genomes of humans and mice will enable them to employ the technique more widely leading to a rapid development in the understanding of illnesses.

1．The importance of the discovery lies in the fact that __________.   

       A．man has finally found his true ancestor

       B．it will be easier for people to find the causes of human diseases and cure them

       C．it has enabled the scientists to compare human DNA with that of another mammal

       D．it makes it possible for man to understand the complicated language of his genome

2．The word “unique” in the fifth paragraph probably means ___________.

       A．having no like or equal                          B．the same

       C．corresponding                                     D．excellent

3．It can be inferred that _____________.

       A．almost every gene of a mouse works in the same way as that of a human being

       B．it has become easier for humans to find their real ancestor

       C．more mice will be used in scientific experiments

       D．scientists will use fewer mice in their experiments to protect them

4．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

       A．Mouse “Book of Life” May Provide Cures for Human Diseases

       B．Mice and Men Are the Same

       C．Man and Mouse Share a Common Ancestor

       D．The Difference Between Man and Mouse
