Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the
beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in
front of each student, and said:”Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes
today ― and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.
Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans
provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His
constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was
delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His
presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would
infect(感染) other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who
had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”
“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”
“Oh, sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly
imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty
creative. Who does that for you?”
“Nobody. I do it.”
“Really―at night, when you’re asleep?”
“Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”
25. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?
A. know more about the students
B. make the lessons more exciting
C. raise the students’ interest in art
D. teach the students about toy
design
26. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. He liked to help his teacher.
B. He preferred to study alone.
C. He was active in class.
D. He was imaginative.
27. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Mistake.
B. Drawback.
C. Difficulty.
D. Burden.
28. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?
A. To help them to see their creativity.
B. To find out about their sleeping
habits.
C. To help them to improve their memory.
D. To find out about their ways of
thinking.

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They
choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns
the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share.
BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it
in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each
new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change
your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever
finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-
mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been
found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust
on a shelf at home.
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the
virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-
five countries.
29. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?
A. To explain what they are.
B. To introduce BookCrossing.
C. To stress the importance of reading.
D. To encourage readers to share
their ideas.
30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?
A. The book.
B. An adventure.
C.A public place.
D. The identification number.
31. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?
A. Meet other readers to discuss it.
B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.
C. Pass it on to another reader.
D. Mail it back to its owner.
32. What is the best title for the text?
A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour
B. Electronic Books: A new Trend
C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back
D. A Website Links People
through Books

A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding―undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism―if
they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after
a disastrous shipwreck(海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.
Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden
ship.
The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to
take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the
southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a
passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than
what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in
1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The
Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey,
completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film
made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got
to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make
money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian
photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never
before been published.
33. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?
A. They were made last week.
B. They showed undersea sceneries.
C. They were found by a cameraman.
D. They recorded a disastrous adventure.
34. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?
A. Frank Hurley.
B. Ernest Shackleton.
C. Robert Falcon Scott.
D. Caroline Alexander.
35. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?
A. Artistic creation.
B. Scientific research.
C. Money making.
D. Treasure hunting.

A garden that’s just right for you
Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the
garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts? 36 . But it doesn’t happen
by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to
the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.
● 37
Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of
color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer
fertilizers(肥料). 38 . However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why
you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.
●Recall(回忆) your childhood memories
Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden
and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important.
39 ―how being in those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your
garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. 40 .Then go outside
and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.
A. Know why you garden
B. Find a good place for your own garden
C. It’s our experience of the garden that matters
D. It’s delightful to see so many beautiful flowers
E. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants
F. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too
G. For each of those gardens, write down the strongest memory you have

Hundreds of people have formed impressions of you through that little device(装置) on your
desk. And they’ve never actually 41 you. Everything they know about you 42 through
this device, sometimes from hundreds of miles away. 43 they feel they can know you 44
from the sound of your voice. That’s how powerful the 45 is.
Powerful, yes, but not always 46 . For years I dealt with my travel agent only by phone.
Rani, my faceless agent whom I’d never met 47 , got me rock-bottom prices on airfares, cars,
and hotels. But her cold voice really 48 me. I sometimes wished to 49 another agent.
One morning, I had to 50 an immediate flight home for a family emergency. I ran into
Rani’s office 51 . The woman sitting at the desk, 52 my madness, sympathetically jumped
up. She gave me a 53 smile, nodded while listening patiently, and then printed out the 54
immediately. “What a wonderful lady!” I thought.
Rushing out 55 I called out over my shoulder, “By the way, what’s your name?” “I’m
Rani,” she said. I turned around and saw a 56 woman with a big smile on her face waving to
wish me a safe trip. I was 57 ! Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so 58 .
Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport, I figured it all out. Rani’s 59 ―her
warm smile, her nods, her ‘I’m here for you’ 60 ―were all silent signals that didn’t travel
through wires.

If you feel stressed by responsibilities at work, you should take a step back and identify (识
别) those of 61 (great)and less importance. Then, handle the most important tasks first so
you’ll feel a real sense of 62 (achieve). Leaving the less important things until tomorrow
63 (be) often acceptable.
Most of us are more focused 64 our tasks in the morning than we are later in the day.
So, get an early start and try to be as productive 65 possible before lunch. This will give you
the confidence you need to get you through the afternoon and go home feeling accomplished.
Recent 66 (study) show that we are far more productive at work if we take short breaks
67 (regular). Give your body and brain a rest by stepping outside for 68 while, exercising,
or dong something you enjoy.
If you find something you love doing outside of the office, you’ll be less likely 69
(bring) your work home. It could be anything―gardening, cooking, music, sports—but whatever
it is, 70 (make) sure it’s a relief from daily stress rather than another thing to worry about.

The summer holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the
holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stay at home, it is
comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about world.
If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden your view and gain knowledges we cannot get from
books. Some classmates suggest we can go to places of interest nearby. I thought that it is a good
idea. It does not cost many, yet we can still learn a lot.
