第二部分：阅读理解(共两节， 满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)A
My fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars in uncashed traveler’s checks, and is asleep at the moment. His blue duffel(粗呢) bag lies on the floor where he dropped it. Obviously, he postponed as much sleep as he could: when he walked in and we hugged, his electrical system suddenly switched off, and he headed directly for the bed, where I imagine he beat his old record of sixteen hours.
It was his first trip overseas, so weeks before it, I pressed travel books on him, and a tape cassette of useful French phrases; drew up a list of people to visit; advised him on clothing and other things. At the luggage store where we went to buy him a suitcase, he headed for the duffels, saying that suitcases were more for old people.
During the trip, he called home three times: from London, Paris, and a village named Ullapool. Near Ullapool, he climbed a mountain in a rainstorm that almost blew him off. In the village, a man spoke to him in Gaelic, and, too polite to interrupt, my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes, trying to nod in the right places. The French he learned from the cassette didn’t hold water in Paris. The French he talked to shrugged and walked on.
When my son called, I sat down at the kitchen table and leaned forward and hung on every word. His voice came through clearly, though two of the calls were like ship-to-shore communication. When I interrupted him with a “Great!” or a “Really?”, I knocked a little hole in his communication. So I just sat and listened. I have never listened to a telephone so attentively and with so much pleasure. It was wonderful to hear news from him that was so new to me. In my book, he was the first man to land on the moon, and I knew that I had no advice to give him and that what I had already given was probably not much help.
The unused checks are certainly evidence of that. Youth travels light. No suitcase, not much luggage and a slim expense account, and yet he went to the scene, and came back safely. I sit here amazed. The night when your child returns with dust on his shoes from a country you’ve never seen is a night you would gladly turn into a week.
21. During the trip, the author’s son ______.
A. ran out of money B. had inadequate sleep
C. forgot to call his mother D. failed to take good pictures
22. According to the passage, which of the following could best describe the author’s son?
A. Polite and careless. B. Creative and stubborn.
C. Considerate and independent. D. Self-centered and adventurous.
23. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. It is important to listen to your child’s story.
B. It’s easy to interrupt the chat with your child.
C. The author is proud of her son landing on the moon.
D. The son no longer needs much help from his mother.
24. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Good parents should protect their children from potential dangers.
B. The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.
C. It’s a nice choice to give a child space to experience and explore.
D. Communication between parents and children is extremely important.
B
Grownups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle，twinkle，little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of over learning，which can be stated as follows：Once we have learned something，additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming，bicycle riding，and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle，twinkle，little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but over learn.
The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school，because they are another of the things we over learn in childhood.
The law of over learning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination，though it may result in a passing grade，is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming，a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination，but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning，on the other hand，is really necessary for one's future development.
25.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A.People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B.Children have a better memory than grownups.
C.Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D.Stories for children are easy to remember.
26.The author explains the law of over learning by________.
A.presenting research findings B.setting down general rules
C.making a comparison D.using examples
27.According to the author，being able to use multiplication tables is________.
A.a result of over learning B.a special case of cramming
C.a skill to deal with math problems D.a basic step towards advanced studies
28.What is the author's opinion on cramming?
A.It leads to failure in college exams. B.It's helpful only in a limited way.
C.It's possible to result in poor memory. D.It increases students’ learning interest.
C
A bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price. A more recent definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people.
The cost of producing a new - for example - toothpaste would make 80p the proper price for it, so we will market it at £1.20. It is not a bad toothpaste, and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with; but the attraction of novelty soon fades, so sales will fall. When that happens we will reduce the price to £1.15. And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5p OFF all over it.
Sometimes it is not 5p OFF but 1p OFF. What breathtaking rudeness to advertise 1p OFF your soap or washing powder or whatever! Even the poorest old-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult(侮辱), but he doesn’t. A bargain must not be missed. People say one has to have washing powder (or whatever) and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper.
The real danger starts when unnecessary things become ‘bargains’. Many people just cannot resist bargains. Provided they think they are getting a bargain they will buy clothes they will never wear or furniture they have no space for. Once I heard of a man who bought an electric saw(电锯) as a bargain and cut off two of his fingers the next day. But he had no regrets: the saw had been truly cheap.
Quite a few people actually believe that they make money on such bargains. A lady once told me: “I’ve had a lucky day today. I bought a dress for £120, reduced from £400; and I bought a beautiful Persian carpet for £600, reduced from £900.” It will never occur to her that she has actually wasted £720. She feels as though she had made £580. She also feels, I am sure, that if she had more time for shopping, she could make a living out of it.
Some people buy in large quantities because it is cheaper. Once a couple bought enough sugar for their lifetime and the lifetime of their children and grandchildren. They thought it a bargain not to be missed. When the sugar arrived they didn’t know where to store it – until they realized that their toilet was a very spacious one. So that was where they piled up their sugar. Not only did their guests feel rather strange whenever they were offered sugar to put into their coffee, but the toilet became extremely sticky.
To offer bargains is a commercial trick to make the poor poorer. When greedy fools fall for this trick, it serves them right.
63. Which word best describes the language style of the passage?
A. Polite. B. Foolish. C. Humorous. D. Serious.
64. What does the underlined word “novelty” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Good quality. B. Low price. C. Newness. D. Curiosity.
65. How does the author feel about 1p OFF a product?
A. It’s a gift for poor people. B. It’s an offense to shoppers.
C. It’s a bargain worth trying. D. It’s a real reduction in price.
66. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Bargains are things people don’t really need. B. Bargains are often real cheap products.
C. Bargains help people make a living. D. Bargains play tricks on people.

We all know the importance of curiosity, and here are some tips on how to develop it.
Keep an open mind. This is essential if you are to have a curious mind. Be open to learning, unlearning, and relearning things. 36 Therefore, you should be prepared to accept this possibility and change your mind.
37 Most people just accept the world as it is. This way, they will certainly lose the "holy curiosity". Try to dig deeper beneath the surface of what is around you. A sure way to dig deeper beneath the surface is asking questions. What, why, when, who, where, and how are the questions curious people always ask.
Don't label(标注)anything as boring. Whenever you label something as boring, you close one more door of possibilities. Curious people are unlikely to consider things boring. 38 Even if they don't yet have time to explore them, they will leave the door open to be visited another time.
Take learning as something fun. If you see learning as a burden, there's no way you will want to dig deeper into anything. That will just make the burden heavier. However, if you think of learning as something fun, you will naturally want to dig deeper. 39 .
Read diverse materials. It will introduce you to the possibilities and excitement of other worlds which may attract your interest in exploring further. One easy way to do this is through reading diverse materials. 40 It'll feed your mind with the excitement of a new world.
A. Never take things as granted.
B. Don't spend too much time on just one world.
C. Try to pick a book or magazine on a new subject.
D. Some things you know and believe might be wrong.
E. It doesn't matter that you don't agree to others' opinions.
F. Instead, they always see these things as a door to an exciting new world.
G. So look at life through the glasses of fun and enjoy the learning process.

Several minutes passed but the whole class was in completely silence. As matter of fact, I came across the problem in a book the other day. However, I walked to the blackboard and worked it out in no time. What a surprising expression was on my maths teacher’s face! He felt very happy that he praised me on public.
