A

Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a exican Aerican faily. As the only girl in a faily of seven children, she often felt like she had "seven fathers," because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and uniportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in eleentary school because she was too shy to participate.
In high school, with the encourageent of one particular teacher, Cisneros iproved her grades and worked for the school literary agazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the faous graduate writing progra at the University of Iowa. At the university's Writers' Workshop, however, she felt lonely----a exican Aerican fro a poor neighborhood aong students fro wealthy failies. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her "Creative voice."
"It was not until this oent when I considered yself truly different that y writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a exican woan, but I didn't think it had anything to do with why I felt so uch ibalance in y life, but it had everything to do with it! That's when I decided I would write about soething y classates couldn't write about."
Cisneros published her first work, The House on ango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young exican Aerican girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, uch like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes fro high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children's book, and a short-story collection.

36. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?
A. She had seven brothers.
B. She felt herself a nobody.
C. She was too shy to go to school.
D. She did not have any good teachers.
37. The graduate progra gave Cisneros a chance to _____.

B. run away fro her faily
C. ake a lot of friends
D. develop her writing style
38. According to Cisneros, what played the decisive role in her success?
A. Her early years in college.
B. Her training in the Workshop.
C. Her feeling of being different.
D. Her childhood experience.
39. What do we learn about The House on ango Street?
A. It is quite popular aong students.
B. It is the only book ever written by Cisneros.
C. It wasn't success as it was written in Spanish.
D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.

I love charity(慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of the on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything fro clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you won't find in the shops anyore. The thing I like best about the is that your oney is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven copanies, and you are not daaging the planet, but finding a new hoe for unwanted goods.
The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfa. The faous charity's appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations(捐赠物). They decided to set up a shop to sell soe of these donations to raise oney for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. y favourite charity shop in y hoetown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children's books, all 10 or 20 pence each.
ost of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a anager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every orning you see bags of unwanted ites outside the front of shops, although they don't encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.
The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise ore than ￡110 illion a year, funding（资助）edical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, hoeless and disabled people, and uch ore. What better place to spend your oney? You get soething special for a very good price and a good oral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environent.

40. The author loves the charity shop ainly because of _______.
A. its convenient location
B. its great variety of goods

D. its nice shopping environent

B. The staff are usually well paid.

43. Which of the following ay be the best title for the passage?
A. What to Buy a Charity Shops.
B. Charity Shop: Its Origin ≈ Developent.
C. Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate.
D. The Public's Concern about Charity Shops.

ichael Fish ay soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by soething truly fishier---the shark(鲨鱼).
Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict stors.
Lauren Sith, 24, is close to copleting her study on shark's ability to sense pressure.
If her studies prove the theory, scientists ay be able to onitor the behaviour of sharks to predict bad weather.
iss Sith had previously studied the behaviour of leon sharks in the Bahaas.
She then used their close relatives, lesser spotted dogfish, for further research at Aberdeen University.
Her work---thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory ---- resulted fro the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks off Florida oved into deeper water ahead of a violent stor in 2001.
iss Sith said: "I've always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led e to an interest in sharks."
"I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for y degree. I know there's so uch ore we need to understand ---- but it certainly opens the way to ore research."
It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance syste.
At the Biini Shark Lab in the Bahaas, iss Sith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and teperature, while also tracking the using GPS (Global Positioning Syste) technology.
In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal(潮汐的) and teperature changes on dogfish----none of which were hared. She also used a special lab which can iic(模拟) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts.
She is due to coplete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research.

We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively（被动地）. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.
We achieve knowledge passively by being told by soeone else. ost of the learning that takes place in the classroo and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or agazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it's not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday counication with friends and co-workers.
Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious proble. It akes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little ore than hearsay and ruor(谣言).
Did you ever play the gae Ruor? It begins when one person writes down a essage but doesn't show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the gae. The last person writes down the essage word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written stateents are copared. Typically, the original essage has changed.
That's what happens in daily life. The siple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, ost people listen iperfectly. And any enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to iprove on it, staping（打上标记）it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they kno
This process is also found aong scholars and authors: A stateent of opinion by one writer ay be re-stated as fact by another, who ay in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process ay continue, unless it occurs to soeone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.

48. According to the passage, passive learning ay occur in _______.
A. doing a edical experient
B. solving a ath proble
C. visiting an exhibition
D. doing scientific reasoning
49. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.
A. active learning
B. knowledge
C. counication
D. passive learning
50. The author entions the gae Ruor to show that _____.
A. a essage ay be changed when being passed on
B. a essage should be delivered in different ways
C. people ay have probles with their sense of hearing
D. people tend not to believe in what they know as ruor
51. What can we infer fro the passage?
A. Active learning is less iportant.
B. Passive learning ay not be reliable.
C. Active learning occurs ore frequently.
D. Passive learning is not found aong scholars.

As kids, y friends and I spent a lot of tie out in the woods. "The woods" was our part-tie address, destination, purpose, and excuse. If I went to a friend's house and found hi not at hoe, his other ight say, "Oh, he's out in the woods, " with a tone(语气) of airy acceptance. It's siilar to the tone people soeties use nowadays to tell e that soeone I' looking for is on the golf course or at the gy, or even "away fro his desk." For us ten-year-olds, "being out in the woods" was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while.
We soeties told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring(探索). Exploring was a ore popular idea back then than it is today. History seeed to be ostly about explorers. Our explorations, though, seeed to have less syste than the historic kind: soething usually cae up along the way. Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Italian burial ound.
Often we got "lost" and had to clib a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in which soeone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never clib high enough to see anything except other trees. There were four or five trees that we visited regularly----tall beeches, easy to clib and cofortable to sit in.
It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods cae to an end. By then soe of us has reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence（青春期）. In arch, the onth when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring. We clibed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the sae tie that were really were rather big to be up in a tree. Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.

52. The author and his fiends were often out in the woods to _______.
A. spend their free tie
B. play gold and other sports
C. avoid doing their schoolwork
D. keep away fro their parents
53. What can we infer fro Paragraph 2?
A. The activities in the woods were well planned.
B. Huan history is not the result of exploration.
C. Exploration should be a systeatic activity.
D. The author explored in the woods ailessly.
54. The underlined word "skeptical" in Paragraph 3 is closest in eaning to ______.
A. cal
B. doubtful
C. serious
D. optiistic
55. How does the author feel about his childhood?
A. Happy but short.
B. Lonely but eorable.
C. Boring and eaningless.
D. Long and unforgettable.
