根据内容, 从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项多余选项。

It doesn't come as a surprise to you to realize that it makes no difference what you read or study if you can't remember it．You just waste your valuable time．1.One dependable aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading．

Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, "No, thank you．I'm just looking．"? Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it．But suppose you say instead, "Yes, thank you．I want a pair of sun glasses．" She says, "Right this way, please．"

2.If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing．But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it．Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying "to find out more about", "to understand the reasons for" and "to find out how"．

3.Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, "I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America"．Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better．

4.At least two important processes go on at the same time．As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately．But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read．You have a kind of mental conversation with the author．

This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes. 5.One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions．Facts can be checked by evidence, Opinions are one's own personal reactions．Another part of critical reading is judging sources．Still another part is drawing accurate inferences．

A．This is the way it works．

B．Maybe you have already discovered some clever ways to keep yourself from forgetting．

C．It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study．

D．You remember better when you know what you' re reading．

E．In other words, a good reader is a critical reader．

F．It’s quite the same with your studying．

G．Reading is not one single activity．

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出最佳选项。

The State Council submitted (提交) a bill which aims to allow couples to have two children if either parent is an only child. It focuses on adjusting and improving the family planning policy.

The State Council argues adjustment to the policy in the face of a steadily declining birth rate. The birth rate has remained relatively low and shows a tendency to fall further. The rate has dropped to between 1.5 and 1.6 since the 1990s, which means each Chinese woman of child-bearing age gives birth to 1.5 to 1.6 children on average. The working population began to drop in 2012 by 3.45 million every year, and it is likely to fall by 8 million each year after 2023.

The population aged 60 and above will reach 400 million and account for one-fourth of the total population in the early 2030s, up from one-seventh now.

“If the current family planning policy continues, the birth rate will continue to fall and lead to a sharp drop of the total population after reaching a peak,” said Li Bin, minister in charge of the National Health and Family Planning Commission.

“It is the right time to make changes: The low birth rate is stable, the working population is still large and the burden of supporting the elderly remains relatively light,” he added.

An increase in birth is expected if the policy changes but will not seriously affect the food supply, public education, health care or employment.

China’s food safety and public service plans are designed to meet the needs of 1.43 billion population in 2020 and 1.5 billion in 2033. Even with the policy change, the total population will reach no more than 1.38 billion in 2015, Li said.

1. Why did the State Council submit the bill?

A. To increase the population of Han nationality.

B. To balance the nature and society.

C. To develop the economy of China.

D. To solve the social population issue.

2.The new policy may have an effect on the following expect _____.

A. public education B. the food supply

C. the divorce rate D. employment

3.What can we learn about the population in China from the passage?

A. After the year of 2023, the population will become less and less.

B. There’s no need to carry out the family planning policy.

C. At the beginning of 2030s the aging problem will be worse than now.

D. In the year 2023, the population may be the least.

A Special Appointment

Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital’s emergency department. No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve, so the shift (轮班) went to me. I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital. It was a thankless job.

At 9 pm, the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack. His face was pale, and he was frightened. The whole night I did my best to save his life. Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family, I stopped by to see how he was doing. It was still tough, but he had survived the night and was sleeping.

The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again. At 9 pm sharp, the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me. When I approached them, the man introduced himself as Mr. Lee and said, “You probably don’t remember me, but last Christmas Eve you saved my life. Thank you for the year you gave me.” He and his wife hugged me, handed me a small gift, and left.

The following year a new doctor had joined the group, but I wanted to see if Mr. and Mrs. Lee would return. This time, I volunteered for the shift. I kept an eye on the door. Once again, at exactly 9 pm, the Lees appeared, carrying a warmly wrapped bundle. It was their new grandchild. Mr. Lee, his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together. In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with him in the break room, where we spent a half-hour each Christmas Eve.

The last year I saw him, he brought me a gift. I carefully opened the package and found a crystal (水晶) bell inside. It was engraved (镌刻) with a single word: Friendship. Now, my family, friends and I ring that bell every Christmas Eve at exactly 9 pm and offer our best wishes to the man who we won’t forget.

1.Working on Christmas Eve was considered “a thankless job” because ______.

D. recovered from his heart attack

3.According to the passage, the author formed a habit of ______.

B. giving Christmas gifts to the hospital staff

D. ringing the bell for patients in the emergency department

A. To honor her working experience.

B. To tell kids the traditional custom.

C. To remember an old friend of hers.

Imagine you are standing on the 70th floor of the Empire State Building, staring at the cityscape. Suddenly a man pushes past you, opens the window and announces his intention to jump. You yell out, “Stop! Don’t do it!” the six-foot-five figure turns to you and menacingly (恐吓地) says, “Try to stop me and I’ll take you with me!”

“Umm… No problem, sir. have a good trip. any last words?”

“Let me tell you my troubles,” he says, “my wife left me, my kids won’t talk to me, I lost my job and my pet turtle died, so why should I go on living?”

Suddenly you have a flash of inspiration. “Sir, close your eyes for a minute and imagine that you are blind. No colors, no sights of children playing, no fields of flowers, no sunset. Now imagine that suddenly there’s a miracle. You open your eyes and your vision is restored! Are you going to jump? Or will you stick around for a week to enjoy the sights?”

“I’ll stay for a week.”

“But what happened to all the troubles?”

“I guess they’re not so bad. I can see!”

“Well, your eyesight is worth at least five million dollars. You’re a rich man!”

If you really appreciate your eyesight, the other pains are insignificant. But if you take it all for granted, then nothing in life will ever truly give you joy. Actually, there are misconceptions on the road to happiness.

misconception1: “Once I know the tools for being happy, then it will work like magic.”

Don’t expect the results to come automatically. It is possible to understand how to achieve happiness, yet not put it into practice. In fact, many people actually prefer to be comfortable and unhappy, rather than bear the discomfort of changing their habits. Just as learning any new skill requires effort, you have to be willing to invest serious effort to achieve real happiness.

Misconception 2: “if I become content and satisfied with what I have, I’ll lose my motivation to achieve more.”

Now ask someone who is depressed, “Let’s go fishing!” “I’m tired. Maybe tomorrow. And anyway, I might rain…” in reality, happy people are energetic and ambitious. There’s never enough time to do everything they want to do.

Misconception 3:

A beautiful Sunday afternoon, you’re in the park having a picnic with friends. Suddenly one person complains: “who forgot the forks? It’s too hot for volleyball. I want to go home already.”

When our mood negatively affects others, we recognize we have duty to be happy and not spoil the fun. But what about when we’re at home with our family? Or when we go into the office on Monday morning? like an open pit in the middle of the road, a sourpuss(牢骚满腹的人) is a public danger. Being happy is part of being considerate to the people around us.

1.The story is placed at the beginning of the passage in order to .

A. tell a skill of persuasion

B. warn the danger of standing on a tall building

C. emphasize the importance of eyesight

D. introduce the theme of the passage

2.What can be inferred from the underlined sentences?

A. Everything has a price.

B. We should value what we have.

C. Every dog has its day.

D. Eyesight is more important.

3.What is right about happy？

A. Happy is a gift.

B. Happy is limited.

C. Happy is contagious (会传染的).

D. Happy is no more than a skill.

4.The best subtitle of Misconception 3 is .

A. If unhappy occurs at home, I needn’t pretend to be happy

B. If I can’t make others unhappy, I won’t be happy.

C. If someone is happy, then others around them are happy.

D. If I want to be depressed, that’s my own prerogative.
