Part I Reading Comprehension

I have learned something about myself since I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida’s mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.

I’m like a migratory bird that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.

So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds？ The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display o￡ colors — first in the fall trees, and then in the limits around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but can’t create the special feel of a New England winter.

I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven’t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors’ children excitedly open gifts on Christmas？ Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement community in Ridge, and I’m grateful that I don’t have to shovel.)

While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you can’t go home？

(1) What does the underlined word "snowbird" in Paragraph 1 refer to？()

A、A person spending winter in a warmer climate

B、A bird seen chiefly in winter

C、A person permanently living in a foreign country

D、A bird flying to the south in winter

(2)What’s the difference between Florida and Long Island？()

A、Winters in Long Island are milder

B、The snowbirds in Long Island are rarer

C、Weather in Long Island is severer

D、Long Island is nearer to the ocean

(3)What did the author miss most when he was in Florida？()

A、The colorful light display

B、The family gathering

C、The cold temperature

D、The winter landscape

(4) Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？()

A、The author enjoyed living in Florida

B、The author had a good time in Florida

C、The author owned a home in Florida

D、The author did not like mild weather

(5)What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text？()

A、To praise the beauty and warmth of his hometown

B、To describe his dream to be a free bird

C、To explain the reasons for moving from his hometown

D、To express his feeling of missing his hometown

听力原文： I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves; most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.

With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works, what doesn't and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction. As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter — the volume of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

33. What can we learn about the speaker as a child？

34. What effect does reading fiction have on the speaker？

35. Which can be the best title for this passage？

(30)

A．He never watched TV.

B．He read what he had to.

C．He found reading unbelievable.

D．He considered reading part of his life.

Help Your Child Become a Reader

Encouraging early reading skills can build a path to a lifelong (终身的) love of reading and can help your child get a head start in school. While reading to your child is still the most important thing you can do to build reading skills, there are many techniques that can help.

Make reading fun. Play games with your child as you read. Many traditional children’s games can be adapted to encourage reading skills.

While reading or during play, tell your child, “I spy with my little eye, something that begins with the letter b.” Help the child find something on the page or in the room that begins with that letter. For example. “I see a barn.” This can also be used to teach beginning letter sounds. “I spy with my little eye, something that begins with the sound‘s’.” Help the child find a word that begins with the “s” sound.

In this variation on the popular game, instruct the child that, “Simon says, ‘point to something that starts with the letter n.’” The child can then find an object in the room or a body part, such as the nose, that starts with the letter presented. This can also be used to teach beginning sounds.

Make a game out of rhyming (押韵) words by making up silly words to rhyme with the child’s name of favorite toys. This sets the stage for rhyming real words by showing the child the similarities of sounds. As the child masters making up the words, begin rhyming real words to one another.

Tips to raise a successful reader:

Put books in places where the child plays. If books are easily accessible, children are more likely to pick them up.

Let children “read to you” by looking at pictures. Making up stories to go along with illustrations helps children discover how words relate to pictures.

Take books along on trips or even short visits to the doctor’s office or grocery store.

Have children help you shop. Reading grocery lists and looking for specific items helps build sight vocabulary.

A good reading habit can help your child do well at school.

A．Right

B．Wrong

C．Not mentioned

The making of movies was to be the funeral bell of alive theater;【M3】______ recorded music, the end of concerts. All these forms still exist—sometimes overshadowed by their siblings, but not smothered by them. And with the direst predictions, reading【M4】______ continues to be part of the life of the mind. Theres no question that reading off-paper, as I think of it, will increase in years to come. A library that got 10 as gifts【M5】______ reported that within a half hour they had all checked out. And【M6】______ theres no question that once again we will be treated to lamentations suggesting that true literacy has become the lost art. The difference this time is that we will confront with elitism from【M7】______ both sides. Not only have literary purists now complain of the【M8】______ evanescent nature of letters onscreen, the tech fanatics have become equally disdainful of the old form. Perhaps we should look past both sides to concern ourselves with function instead of form. I am cheered by the Gallup poll in【M9】______ which asks a simple question: do you happen to be reading any books or novels at present？ In 1952 a merely 18 percent of【M10】______ respondents said yes. The last time the survey was done, in 2005, that number was 47 percent. So much for the good old days.

Read with Greater Speed

Do you have difficulty reading in class？ If so, a special reading program that helps match sounds with letters could speed up your brain.

At least one out of every five elementary school students in the US has trouble learning to read, even when the students are good at other subjects._________ (46)

Researchers from Yale University, US, studied a group of children from New York and Connecticut State. As part of the study, 37 struggling readers received special tutoring.

Every day, instructors worked with them on recognizing how written letters represent units of sound called phonemes (音素). _________(47)

By the end of the school year, these children could read faster than before. They also made fewer mistakes, and understood more of what they read than they could earlier in the year.

As part of their study, the researchers used a special machine to take action photos of the students&39; brains. _________(48) This is the same part of the brain that becomes active when good readers read. This activated brain area appears to include a structure that helps people recognize familiar written words quickly. In lower level readers, this structure remains inactive.

A year later, the brain structure was still working hard in the students who had gone through the special tutoring, and they continued to do well in reading tests._________ (49) However, some researchers still doubt the study. _________ (50)

第46题__________ 查看材料

A.Many adults are interested in matching sounds with letters.

B.The students also practiced reading aloud and spelling.

C.The biggest challenge for many of these kids， scientists say， is matching sounds with letters.

D.Another group in the study who went through a more traditional reading program didn"t show the same progress.

E.The pictures showed all increase in activity in the back of the brain on the left side

F.They believe that reading without making any noise or linking words to sounds is more efficient.

听力原文：W: I often read two newspapers. Washington Post and The Sun. What about you？ M:
I will buy the newspaper whose headlines catch my eyes in the front page. Do you buy the two newspapers everyday？ W: Yes, that way Im sure not to miss my favourite sections. Doesnt the size of the daily paper surprise you？ M: Yes, it certainly does. The newspaper staff— the reporters, writers, editors, and linotype operators — must be busy continuously. They need a large circulation to support such a staff, dont they？ W: Im sure they do. Of course, much of a newspapers income comes from advertisements. M: Thats true. You try to read the whole paper, dont you？ W: No. I just read the parts that interest me. I glance at the headlines, but I read the sports page and the business section carefully. Do you read those？ M: No, but I do read the editorials and the news section. You saw the article about the earthquake in Japan, didnt you？ W: Yes. That was a terrible disaster. Do you think newspapers should print stories like that？ M: Certainly they should! Theyre part of the news of the day and people want to know about them. Dont you agree？ W: Yes, I suppose disasters are news, too. It seems to me that newspapers would be more pleasant to read if they had a large society section and more comic strips. Dont you like to read articles about celebrations and happy events？ M: Yes, I enjoy reading them. But since you dont like to read unhappy news, why do you subscribe to two newspapers？ If I were you, I wouldnt read a newspaper at all. Questions 9 to 12 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 9. What sort of newspaper will the man buy？ 10. What surprises the speakers？ 11. Which part of the newspaper does the woman usually read？ 12. Why doesnt the woman enjoy reading about disasters in the daily newspaper？9．

A．The size of the daily newspaper.

B．The staff of the daily newspaper.

C．The circulation of the daily newspaper.

听力原文：M: Do you want to go to the cinema with us on Saturday？

W: Thanks, but I have to study for my research project. I'm taking that same anthropology course you took with Professor Gray.

M: The one on ethnographic interviewing？ Oh, good! I'm sure you'll get a lot out of it.

W: I have to admit the word "ethnography" scared me a little at first. It seems so technical. But then when she explained that it's what anthropologists do, you know, how they investigate and record aspects of a culture, it didn't seem so intimidating!

M: Yeah, it's a part of the field work anthropologists conduct and it's good to start doing that now before you become a graduate student and have to conduct large projects yourself. Who are you going to interview？

W: You know the publishing office where I used to work？ Vivian, the woman I worked for, has been a manager there for over 30 years and seen a lot of changes in the industry. I thought I'd start out by interviewing her about how the people in the office interact with each other and with outside clients.

M: The best part of that course is that it shows you that ethnographic research can also be done on a familiar ground.

W: Yeah. I got the idea for my project from reading Robert Marshal's study of office life and I realized I already had some background in that. So far, I'm really enjoying this course.

(20)

A．Which major the woman will be choosing.

B．An anthropology course the woman is taking.

C．How to find a job in publishing.
