11、nd runs into the Pacific OceanD.begins in the northeast of Australia and runs into the Pacific Ocean答案:A Which would you rather be, a mathematician or an author? Perhaps you will never be faced with this kind of choice. Lewis Carroll was both a mathematician and an author. He was a lecturer in mathe
12、matics at Oxford University. But he is better known as the author of two of the most famous childrens books that have ever been written (Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. The authors real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, but he preferred to use the penname Lewis Carroll when he wr
13、ote, and this is the name we remember him by. Alice in Wonderland was published in 1865, when the author was 33 years old; it was followed by Through the Looking Glass in 1871. Both books were written for a real girl called Alice and they have been read by millions of children since they were first
14、published. These stories are about a dream world in which Alice meets strange creatures and has interesting adventures. Im sure you know this already, but if you dont youd better read the stories yourselves. 9. People know Lewis Carroll mainly for _.A.his good pennameB.his interesting storiesC.his a
15、bility in mathematicsD.his wonderful teaching at Oxford University答案:B10.

The real name of the author of the two books is _.A.Ali
17、ceB.Lewis GarrollC.Charles CarrollD.Charles Lutwidge Dodgson答案:D The aim of the teacher is to get his pupils as quickly as possible over the period in which each printed symbol (符号) is looked at for its shape, and arrive at the stage when the pupils look at words and phrases for their meaning, almos
18、t without noticing the shapes of the separate letters. When a good reader is at work, he does not look at letters, nor even at words, one by one, however quickly; he takes in the meaning of two, three, or four words at a time, in a single moment. Watch carefully the eyes of a good reader who is read
19、ing, and it will be seen that they do not travel smoothly along the lines of print, but they move by jumps separated by very short stops. The eyes of a very good reader move quickly, taking long jumps and making very short pauses; the eyes of a poor reader move more slowly, taking only short jumps a
20、nd stopping longer at each pause. Sometimes, when he meets difficulty, he even goes backwards to see again what has already been looked at before. The teachers task is therefore clear: it is to train his pupils to take in several words at a glance (one eye-jump) and to remove the necessity for going
21、 backwards to read something a second time. This shows at once that letter-by-letter, or word-by-word reading, with the finger pointing to the word, carefully fixing each one in turn, is wrong. It is wrong because such a method ties the pupils eyes down to a very short jump, and the aim is to train
22、for the long jump. Moreover, a very short jump is too short to provide any meaning or sense; and it will be found that having struggled with three or four words separately, the pupil has to look at them again, all together and in one group, in order to get the meaning of the whole phrase. 14. Accord
23、ing to the passage, the aim of the teacher is to _.A.train his pupils to reach quickly the stage of reading without having to concentrate on the separate symbolsB.help his pupils look at each printed symbol for its meaning as well as for its shapeC.help his pupils avoid taking long jumps and making
24、short pauses while they are trying to get the meaning of what they are readingD.tell his pupils different reading stages, of which the first one is to recognize the separate printed symbols答案:A15. A good reader usually reads several _ in a single moment.A.lettersB.wordsC.sentencesD.lines答案:B16. Acco
25、rding to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A.The eyes of a good reader make long pauses.B.The eyes of a good reader take long jumps.C.The eyes of a poor reader take short jumps.D.The eyes of a poor reader stop longer at each pause.答案:A17. Reading with the finger pointing to the word _.
26、A.helps the pupil understand the words in groups and get the meaning of the whole passageB.removes the necessity for going backwards to read something a second timeC.helps the pupil move his eyes back and forth easily when he meets difficultyD.limits the pupils eyes to a very short jump which is too
27、 short to provide any meaning答案:D18. The last paragraph indicates a poor reader may have to read something a second time because _.A.he has enough timeB.he reads too fastC.he doesnt get its meaningD.the passage he is reading is very long答案:C As you think about writing a research paper, you may wonde
28、r how this job differs from other papers you have written. The basic difference is that most of the ideas that go into the research paper come from materials found in a library. The paper does not grow out of your personal experience and opinions as some other compositions do. Sometimes almost all o
29、f the information and ideas that appear in a research paper will come from books, magazine articles, etc. It is your job to find the information and present it in a coherent (连贯的) essay. At other times, you may be required to add your own judgements to the ideas you have collected from different mat
30、erials. Both may be referred to as a term paper or a research paper, and you should know how to do research as well as how to put together a good paper. Although writing a research paper is more difficult than writing an essay, the rewards (收益) of this work are great. As you increase your knowledge
31、about a topic and begin making judgments, you will rapidly become an expert (专家) on your topic. 19. What is being discussed in this passage?A.The writing of a composition.B.The finding of materials.C.The writing of a research paper.D.The writing of an essay.答案:C20.

38、 sent for his doctor. The doctor came, examined him and said, You will be well again in a few days if you take bulls (公牛的) milk. The king was very surprised, for he had never heard of a bull that gave milk. How is it possible? he asked. Order Gulbo, the scholar, to get it for you. He can do anything
39、. The doctor was an enemy to Gulbo, and thought this would be a way of making him suffer.

43、fool of me? Who ever heard of a man having a baby? Well, if the king himself orders someone to get bulls milk for him, why cant a man have a baby?
