第二部分：阅读理解（第一节共20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation.When children are little we make them read aloud,before the teacher and other children,so that we can be sure they"know"all the words they are reading.This means that whe
n they don't know a word,they are going to make a mistake,right in front of everyone.After having taught fifth-grade class for four years,I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books,and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day soon after school had started,I said to them,"Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before.I would like you to read a lot of books this year,but I want you to read them only for pleasure.I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not.If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it,that's enough for me.Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean."
The children sat stunned and silent.Was this a teacher talking?One girl,who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time,looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished.Then,still looking at me,she said slowly and riously,Mr Holt,do you really mean that?"I said just as riously,"I mean every word of it.
During the spring she really astonished me.One day,she was reading at her desk,From a
glimp of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was.I said to mylf,"It can't be,"and went to take a clor look.Sure enough,she was reading Moby Dick,in edition with woodcuts.I said,"Don't 西南财经大学录取分数线
you find parts of it rather heavy going?"She answered,Oh,sure,but I just skip over tho parts and go on to the next good part."
This is exactly what reading should be and in school so ldom is,an exciting,joyous adventure. Find something,dive into it,take the good parts,skip the bad parts,get what you can out of it,go on to something el.How different is our mean-spirited,picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of"understanding"that can be dug out of a book.
41.According to the passage,children's fear and dislike of books may result from.
C.being made to read too much
D.being made to read aloud before others
42.The teacher told his students to read.
A.for enjoyment
B.for knowledge
C.for a larger vocabulary
D.for higher scores in exams
43.Upon hearing the teacher's talk,the children probably felt that.
A.it sounded stupid
B.it was not surprising at all
C.it sounded too good to be true
D.it was no different from other teachers'talk
44.Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?
A.She skipped over tho easy parts while reading.
B.She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.
C.She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.
D.She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.
45.From the teacher's point of view,.
A.children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading

B.children should be left to decide what to read and how to read

Graph can be a very uful tool for conveying information especially numbers，percentages,
and other data.A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret.That can be a lot more pages and pages and pages explaining the data.
Graphs can em frightening,but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story.The graph has a title,a main idea,and supporting details.You can u your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text.
Most graphs have a few basic parts:a caption or introduction paragraph,a title,a legend or key, and labeled axes.An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data. Captions will usually tell you where the data came from(for example,a scientific study of400 African elephants from1980to2005).Captions usually summarize the author's main point as well.The title is very important.It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown.A legend,also called a key,is a guide to
the symbols and colors ud in the graph.Many graphs,including bar graphs and line graphs,have two axes that form a corner,Usually the axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph.Each axis will always have a label.The label tells you what each axis measures.
Bar Graphs
A bar graph has two axes and us bars to show
amounts.In Graph1,we e that the x-axis shows grades
that students earned,and the y-axis shows bow many
students earned each grade.You can e that6students
earned an A becau the bar for A stretches up to6on the
vertical measurement.There is a lot of information we can
get from a simple graph like this(See Graph1).
Line Graphs
A line graph looks similar to a bar graph,but instead of
Bars,it plots points and connects them with a line.It has
the Same parts as a bar graph–two labeled axes–and can
be read the same way.To read a line graph,it's important你的孤独虽败犹荣
梦想开花to focus on the points of interction rather than the line
gments between the points,This type of graph is most
commonly ud to show how something changes over time.
Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the
first Five days of its spring migration(See Graph2).
The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days.The unit of measurement for the y-axis is kilometers.Thus we can e that,on the first day,the pipit flew20 kilometers.The line gment goes up between Day1and Day2,which means that the bird flew farther on Day2.If the line gment angled dawn,as between Day4and Day 5,it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before.This line graph is a quick,visual way to tell the reader about the bird's migration.
Pie Graphs
A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie.The circle is divided into ctions,and each ction reprents a fraction of the data.The graph is commonly ud to show percentages;the whole pie reprents l00percent,so each piece is a fraction of the whole.
A pie graph might include a legend，or it might u icons or labels within each slice.This pie graph shows on month's expen,(See Graph3).
