18．（12.5分）I must have always known reading was very important because the first
memories I have as a child deal with books． There was not one night that I don't
remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside． I was extremely inspired by
the elegant way the words sounded．
I always wanted to know what my mom was reading． Hearing mom say，"I
can't believe what's printed in the newspaper this morning，" made me want to grab it
out of her hands and read it myself． I wanted to be like my mom and know all ofthe things she knew． So I carried around a book， and each night， just to be like
her， I would pretend to be reading．
This is how everyone learned to read． We would start off with sentences， then
paragraphs， and then stories． It seemed an unending journey， but even as a six﹣
year﹣old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors． When
mom said， "The C﹣A﹣N﹣D﹣Y is hidden on the top shelf，" I knew where the
candy was． My progress in reading raised my curiosity， and I wanted to know
everything． I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly， so that I
could read all of the road signs we passed．
Most of my reading through primary， middle and high school was factual
reading． I read for knowledge， and to make A's on my tests． Occasionally， I
would read a novel that was assigned， but I didn't enjoy this type of reading． I
liked facts， things that are concrete． I thought anything abstract left too much room
for argument．
Yet， now that I'm growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is
becoming more complex， I find myself needing a way to escape． By opening a
novel， I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious
world where I am now a new character． In these worlds I can become anyone． I
don't have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when
he or she wrote this． I just read to relax．
We're taught to read because it's necessary for much of human understanding．
Reading is a vital part of my life． Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning．
And I've found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless．
（1）Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom's hands？
A．She wanted mom to read the news to her．
B．She was anxious to know what had happened．
C．She couldn't wait to tear the newspaper apart．
D．She couldn't help but stop mom from reading．
（2）According to Paragraph 3， the author's reading of road signs indicates ．A．her unique way to locate herself
B．her eagerness to develop her reading ability
C．her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules
D．her growing desire to know the world around her
（3）What was the author's view on factual reading？
A．It would help her update test﹣taking skills．
B．It would allow much room for free thinking．
C．It would provide true and objective information．
D．It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life．
（4）The author takes novel reading as a way to ．
A．explore a fantasy land
B．develop a passion for learning
C．learn about the adult community
D．get away from a confusing world
（5）What could be the best title for the passage？
A．The Magic of Reading
B．The Pleasure of Reading
C．Growing Up with Reading
D．Reading Makes a Full Man
19．（12.5分）How does an ecosystem （生态系统）work？ What makes the populations
of different species the way they are？ Why are there so many flies and so few
wolves？ To find an answer， scientists have built mathematical models of food
webs， noting who eats whom and how much each one eats．
With such models， scientists have found out some key principles operating in
food webs． Most food webs， for instance， consist of many weak links rather than
a few strong ones． When a predator （掠食动物）always eats huge numbers of a
single prey （猎物），the two species are strongly linked； when a predator lives on
various species， they are weakly linked． Food webs may be dominated by many
weak links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term． If a predator
can eat several species， it can survive the extinction （灭绝）of one of them． And
if a predator can move on to another species that is easier to find when a preyspecies becomes rare， the switch allows the original prey to recover． The weak
links may thus keep species from driving one another to extinction．
Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable， where
small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems．
In the 1960s， scientists proposed that predators at the top of a food web had a
surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species﹣including
species they did not directly attack．
And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top﹣down control by top
predators to be true． In the ocean， we fished for top predators such as cod on an
industrial scale， while on land， we killed off large predators such as wolves．
These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance．
Scientists have built an early﹣warning system based on mathematical models．
Ideally， the system would tell us when to adapt human activities that are pushing an
ecosystem toward a breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecosystem back
from the borderline． Prevention is key， scientists say， because once ecosystems
pass their tipping point （临界点），it is remarkably difficult for them to return．
（1）What have scientists discovered with the help of mathematical models of food
webs？
A．The living habits of species in food webs．
B．The rules governing food webs of the ecosystems．
C．The approaches to studying die species in the ecosystems．
D．The differences between weak and strong links in food webs．
（2）A strong link is found between two species when a predator ．
A．has a wide food choice
B．can easily find new prey
C．sticks to one prey species
D．can quickly move to another place
（3）What will happen if the populations of top predators in a food web greatly
decline？
A．The prey species they directly attack will die out．B．The species they indirectly attack will turn into top predators．
C．The living environment of other species will remain unchanged．
D．The populations of other species will experience unexpected changes．
（4）What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragraph 4？
A．Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems．
B．Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats．
C．Species of commercial value dominate other species．
D．Industrial activities help keep food webs stable．
（5）How does an early﹣warning system help us maintain the ecological balance？
A．By getting illegal practices under control．
B．By stopping us from killing large predators．
C．By bringing the broken﹣down ecosystems back to normal．
D．By signaling the urgent need for taking preventive action．
20．（12.5分）Would you BET on the future of this man？ He is 53 years old． Most
of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune． A war injury
has made his left hand stop functioning， and he has often been in prison． Driven
by heaven﹣knows﹣what motives， he determines to write a book．
The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350
years． That former prisoner was Cervantes， and the book was Don Quixote（《堂吉
诃德》）．And the story poses an interesting question： why do some people discover
new vitality and creativity to the end of their days， while others go to seed long
before？
We've all known people who run out of steam before they reach life's halfway
mark． I'm not talking about those who fail to get to the top． We can't all get
there． I'm talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they
have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing
years．
Most of us， in fact， progressively narrow the variety of our lives． We
succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it． Nothing
surprises us． We lose our sense of wonder． But， if we are willing to learn， the
opportunities are everywhere．The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills． We learn
to bear with the things we can't change． We learn to avoid self﹣pity． We learn
that however much we try to please， some people are never going to love us﹣an
idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing．
With high motivation and enthusiasm， we can keep on learning． Then we will
know how important it is to have meaning in our life． However， we can achieve
meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little
egos （自我），whether to loved ones， to fellow humans， to work， or to some
moral concept．
Many of us equate （视…等同于）"commitment" with such "caring" occupations
as teaching and nursing． But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself
an admirable commitment． People who work toward such excellence﹣whether they
are driving a truck， or running a store﹣make the world better just by being the kind
of people they are． They've learned life's most valuable lesson．
（1）The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that ．
A．loss of freedom stimulates one's creativity
B．age is not a barrier to achieving one's goal
C．misery inspires a man to fight against his fate
D．disability cannot stop a man's pursuit of success
（2）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．End one's struggle for liberty．
B．Waste one's energy taking risks．
C．Miss the opportunity to succeed．
D．Lose the interest to continue learning．
（3）What could be inferred from Paragraph 4？
A．Those who dare to try often get themselves trapped．
B．Those who tend to think back can hardly go ahead．
C．Opportunity favors those with a curious mind．
D．Opportunity awaits those with a cautious mind．
（4）What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5？A．A tough man can tolerate suffering．
B．A wise man can live without self﹣pity．
C．A man should try to satisfy people around him．
D．A man should learn suitable ways to deal with life．
（5）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？
A．To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life．
B．To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work．
C．To state the importance of generating motivation for learning．
D．To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career．

up， he found almost 800 students lining the hallways with handmade cards， blowing
noisemakers and singing a full﹣throated happy birthday to him． It was his 80th．
As he walked the long hallway， some popped out of line to hug him． They handed
him so many cards that they filled several large boxes． Touched by their enthusiastic
expression of affection， Mabry thanked them all． "They're like my children，"

break． He knows most of the kids at the school， but can't name each one． Some
of them make him know them． Like Faith， who often forgets her backpack in the
cafeteria， and Lucy， who just wants a hug．

where he is， he will always stop what he's doing to take care of a child if that child
is having a bad day． If a child approaches him， he will pause to give that child
his undivided attention． He's the most loved one in this building，"said LoriGilreatli， a reading teacher．
Mabry works circles around all the students， cleaning up messes others don't
want to touch． He doesn't expect a lot． Mabry said he hadn't planned to do much
for his milestone birthday，so he was happy the students had prepared the surprise
celebration．
