A Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer（掃盲志愿者）. The

24、training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other peoples lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading. My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three.

25、 In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didns know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule（時刻表）,she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to t

26、he supermarket because she couldnt always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label(標識), she would not recognize it as the product she wanted. As we worked to

27、gether, learning how to read built Maries self-confidence(自信心), which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she

28、 began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work i

29、n learning to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her selfconfidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before. As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I

30、may have learned more from the experience than Marie did. 56What did the author do last summer? AShe worked in the supermarket. BShe helped someone to learn to read. CShe gave single mothers the help they needed. DShe went to a training program to help a literacy volunteer. 57Why didnt Marie go to t

31、he supermarket by bus at first? ABecause she liked to walk to the supermarket. BBecause she lived far away from the bus stop. CBecause she couldnt afford the bus ticket. DBecause she couldnt find the right bus. 58How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket? AShe knew where the

32、goods were in the supermarket. BShe asked others to take her to the right place. CShe managed to find the goods by their looks. DShe remembered the names of the goods. 59Which of the following statements is true about Marie? AMarie could do things she had not been able to do before. BMarie was able

33、to read stories with the help of her son. CMarie decided to continue her studies in school DMarie paid for her own lessons. B As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing m

34、achine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week. Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are won

35、dering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family

36、or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for a

37、n international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs(郊區(qū)), leaving their two children with a nanny（保 姆）. Most evenings Daniel wouldnt get home until eight or nine oclock, and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both

38、earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by. Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm here,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. Its taken some getting used to, but its been worth it

39、. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think its made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.” Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. Im not r

40、eally a country girl, but I suppose Im gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.” 60What do the first t

41、wo paragraphs tell us? APeople seldom work long hours to make money. BPeople hardly buy more things than necessary. CPeople are sure everything they own is in the right place. DPeople realise there is more to life than just making money. 61When Daniel was a reporter he . Alived in central London Bdi

Awas easy to organise Bhas improved family life Cwas extremely expensive Dhas been a total success 63What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to? AChild-caring. BLizs advice. C

43、Downshifting DLizs job. 64The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph means . Arepairing your car by yourself Bspending money carefully Cmoving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life Dliving in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week C The following is

47、ce. ARadio 2. BRadio 3. CRadio Wales. DLBC D Have you ever got stuck with unwanted courses or a class schedule that cannot be changed? If so, thats because you dont know how to select the perfect schedule. But by following a few simple steps, you can begin any term with the right courses at the most

48、 convenient times. First, you must find the right courses. These are the ones that have the least amount of work, the fewest tests and the kindest professors. Ask your friends about courses in which they received As after attending only 70 percent of the classes. Ask around, too, to see which instru

49、ctors have given the same tests for the last fifteen years. Photocopies of these tests are usually cheap and can be easily found in school. Then, pick up a copy of the master schedule and study it carefully. Find the course titles that mean an easy pass for a painless subject. Look for titles like “

50、Arts and Crafts for Beginners,” and “Rock Music of the 1950s.” Next, when you have got lists of easy instructors and subjects you can begin to select your time periods. If you stay up late in order to watch old movies, you may want a daily schedule that begins no sooner than noon. You should schedul

51、e only afternoon courses, too, if youre one of those people who hate to leave a warm bed in the morning. On the other hand, if you are a person who gets out of bed at dawn, you may want to get your classes out of the way as early as possible. That way you have the rest of the day free. Morning class

52、es are also necessary if you are a soap opera(肥皂劇) fan. Finally, you want your schedule to pass through registration successfully. The main way to do this is to register(注冊) early. If a course does happen to be closed because you simply couldnt register at 7:00 a.m., you may still be able to get in.

53、 Talk to the professor and tell him or her that a serious and hardworking student like yourself would be a shining example to other students. Be sure to carry a list of backup courses to registration, though, just in case one of your chosen classes changes professors or time periods. By following th

54、ese suggestions, any student can pick the perfect class schedule. College can thus become an almost pleasant activity. 67Which of the following statements is true? AYou can get copies of tests if you are willing to pay the price. B “Rock Music of the 1950s” may be an easy course. CIt is difficult to

55、 pick the perfect class schedule. DAttendance is required in all classes. 68You should . Aregister for classes in the morning if you get up early Bhave classes late in the morning if you stay up late Csign up for afternoon classes if you want to see soap operas Dchoose classes in the evening if you

Bsit in on the class anyway Cregister for a back-up course Dget help from the professor 70Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
