阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填一个单词。

     The Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children.Some parents
send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England,the US or Australia,regardless
of how much this costs.Many also want their children to take extra curriculum activities where
they either learn a musical instrument or ballet,or other classes that will give them a head start
in life.The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is,the better it is,so parents
often spend unreasonable amount of money on education.Even poor couples buy a computer
for their son or daughter.
However,what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is
usually very cheap.Parents can see that their children"s skills vary;they will usually be skilled in
some areas while poor in others.What most parents fail to realize though,is that today"s children
lack self respect and selfconfidence.
     The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple choice
tests and how to study effectively.They are not teaching them the most important skills they need
to be confident,happy and clever.
     Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking,sewing and
other housework.
     Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.Cooking
demands patience and time.It is an enjoyable but difficult experience.A good cook always tries
to improve his cooking,so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully.The
result,a well cooked dinner,will give a child a lot of satisfaction and confidence.
     An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make
him curious and arouse his interest.If he will spend hours looking at it,and try to mend it;your child
might become an engineer when he grows up.Such activities do more than teach a child to read a
book;but rather they teach them to think,and to use their minds.This is much more important than
learning by reading a book.

阅读理解      Forget Twitter and Facebook, Google and the Kindle. Television is still the most influential medium
around. Indeed, for many of the poorest regions(地区)of the world, it remains the next big thing-finally
becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the
better.  
     Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had
climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U. S., where there are more TVs than people, and
where people now easily get access to the Internet.  Five million more families in sub Saharan Africa will
get a TV over the next five years.  In 2005, after the fall of the Taliban(塔利班), which had outlawed TV, 1 in 5 Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013-pushing the numbers to well
beyond two thirds of families.  
     Television"s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen
and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached villages, women were more likely to go to the market
without their husbands" approval and less likely to want aboy rather than a girl. They were more likely
to make decisions over child health care. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education.  In the
Indian state of Gujarat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati
on the screen.  Within six months, viewers had made a small but significant(有意义的)improvement in
their reading skills. Too much TV has been associated with violence, overweight and loneliness.  
However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide.   1. The underlined word "outlawed" in Paragraph 2 probably means "       ".   A. allowed
B. banned
C. offered
D. refused 2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?   A. Americans used to get access to the Internet easily.  
B. The world"s TV sets will total 150 million by 2013.  
C. 45% of families in the developing countries had a TV in 2005.  
D. Over two thirds of families in the world will have a TV by 2013. 3. The author intends to      .   A. stress the advantages of TV to people"s lives
B. persuade women to become more independent
C. encourage people to improve their reading skills
D. introduce the readers some websites such as Google 4. What would be the best title for the passage? A. TV Will Rule the World
B. TV Will Disturb the World
C. TV Will Better the World
D. TV Will Remain in the World

阅读理解。     If you are lost in the mountains,stay calm in the face of darkness,loneliness,and the unknown.
It will greatly increase your chances of survival.Many people think that preparing necessary
equipment and knowing how to use it are very important,but actually eighty percent of
mountain survival is your reaction to fear.
     FIND A HIDING PLACE
     Unnecessary labor will make you sweat and make you cold.Find a hiding place around you
before trying to start your own construction.If you are in a snowcovered area,you may be able
to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind.You should try to hide yourself in the
middle of the mountain if possible.Stay out of the valleys-cold air falls,and the valley floor can
be the coldest area on the mountain.
     SIGNAL RESCUERS FOR HELP
     The best time to signal rescuers is during the day.Signal for help from the highest point
possible-it will be easier for rescuers to see you,and any sound you make will travel farther.
If you take a box of matches and a space blanket(a special blanketfor travelling),build three
smoky fires and put your blanket-gold side facing out-on the ground.
     DO NOT WALK AWAY
     It will make finding you more difficult if you have gone off in a different direction,as search
teams will be trying to follow your path.Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it.
If you get frostbite,do not rewarm the affected area until you’re out of danger.You can walk on
frostbitten feet,but once you warm the area and can feel the pain,you will not want to walk
anywhere.Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry untilyou are rescued.

阅读理解。     Recently I paid a visit to Harvard University, where there are top class scientists and professors and
the best academic(学术的)system in the world.
     I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus(校园). Well, it"s not even really a campus.
It"s more like a district in a small town.
     Harvard"s main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even
say they"re a little old. They don"t fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by
grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval castle(中世纪的城堡). But when I looked
across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again.
It creates a strong contrast(对比)and brings a special atmosphere to the school.
     Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us: "You see this grass field in the center of the school?
Here is where they host their graduation ceremony(毕业典礼). They just set up tents and benches and
have a very simple ceremony." Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate
on the lawn?
     I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the
soft sound of pages turning, along with singing of the birds, I felt very calm. There was no competitive
feeling at all.
     Harvard has the world"s first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end
computers too. Its religion and the literature departments are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of
tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in.
     I hope one day I"ll attend my dream school - Harvard.1. The article is mainly about        .  A. the author"s campus life in Harvard
B. the author"s impression of Harvard
C. Harvard"s old buildings
D. the academic system at Harvard2. The author was most impressed by        , according to the article.  A. Harvard"s mix of tradition and new technology
B. the classes held on beautiful lawns at Harvard
C. Harvard students not taking their graduation ceremony seriously
D. the feeling of not living in modern society on the campus3. What can we conclude from the article?  A. Harvard campus is actually a district of a big city.
B. There are no competitions at Harvard University.
C. Graduation ceremonies are not complex(复杂的)at Harvard.
D. All Harvard buildings date back to the 18th century.4. According to the article, in which fields is Harvard top in the world?  A. Literature, arts, and law.
B. Religion, law and arts.
C. Literature, arts and computer science.
D. Religion, computer science and literature. 5. Which word can be used to describe the Harvard campus?  A. modern
B. competitive   
C. peaceful  
D. old

阅读理解。      Everyone wants to travel. But those who cannot do so themselves might find it interesting
to work in a travel agency,arranging journeys for other people. Brian Lawtey does this,working
in a small travel agency in a big city. Most of his work is concerned with holidays,both at home
and abroad. Every autumn,the agency sends out hundreds of booklets (小册子) full of attractive,
colored photographs,describing the holidays that their customers will be able to have the next year.
Soon,people begin to come into the office to book their holidays:perhaps a week"s skiing in
Austria in January,perhaps a cruise (巡游) to the Caribbean in February,perhaps a seaside holiday
in Spain in May,or a tour of Africa. Brian often has to advise people on what holidays will be
suitable for them,and they always have a lot of questions. Last year,for example,a lady of eighty-two
wanted to book for a mountaineering (爬山) holiday in the Alps,and Brian had great difficulty in
persuading her that it would not be suitable. In the end, she decided to go for a Mediterranean
cruise instead.
     Arranging journeys for people who have to travel abroad on business is often very complicated,
but Brian enjoys this work. For example,last spring Mr. Perry,a director of a chemical firm,went
on a business trip,and Brian arranged it all for him. First,Mr. Perry traveled to London by train,
and stayed overnight in a hotel near the airport,because his plane left early the next morning. He
flew to Frankfurt in Germany,where he spent the morning discussing business. Then he went on
by train to Zurich,where he stayed the night. After a meeting the next morning,he caught a plane
for Tokyo,and spent three days there before going to America. He had business in Seattle,Chicago
and New York,and stayed some time in each of those places. From New York,he flew back to
London,and then got home by train. The next day he telephoned the agency to thank Brian for
arranging everything so well for him. 1. Who would like to work in a travel agency?A. People who go on holidays abroad.
B. People who would like to travel but cannot.
C. people who enjoy traveling.
D. People who live in a big city.2. When do the customers come into the office to book their holidays?A. Early in the morning.
B. Every year.
C. In January.
D. Shortly after receiving the booklet. 3. Those who cannot travel themselves might find it interesting to work in a travel agency_________.A. describing the holidays for other people
B. arranging trips for themselves
C. booking trips for other people
D. arranging trips for other people4. Mr. Perry telephoned the agency to thank Brian because ___________.A. Mr. Perry arranged everything so well for Brian
B. Brian arranged everything so well for Mr. Perry
C. the agency sent Mr. Perry abroad on business
D. Brain helped him in the travel agency

阅读理解。
     请阅读下面一篇文章,并按照要求匹配信息。      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".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. Maybe you have already discovered some clever ways to keep yourself from forgetting.
     B. It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.
     C. You remember better when you know what you" re reading.
     D. In other words, a good reader is a critical reader.
     E. It"s quite the same with your studying.
     F. Reading is not one single activity.
     G. This is the way it works.
