    A child, who has once got interested in a tale, likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to “tell” a story than just “read” it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce his own as an improvement on the printed text, according to his child’s actual situation, so much the better.

    There is a charge made against some fairy tales, as they probably harm children by frightening them or leaving them sad feelings. To prove it, an experiment has been done to show that children who have heard terrible fairy stories often feel more uneasy than those who have not. As for fears, there are some cases where children get timid (胆怯的) by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition may weaken the pain of fear.

    There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that the stories are not objectively true, and that those giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets etc. do not really exist, so children should be taught to learn the reality by studying history, instead of being got fond of the strange side in fairy tales. Those, who prefer to create such stories, are so peculiar (奇怪的) that it is hard to argue with them. If their creative exaggeration (夸张) were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.

    Not once is a fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world, but not every child is clever enough to be aware of it. Parents should choose their children’s “bed-time” reading materials with much care. Only the fairy stories containing positive effect will make a clever and caring child with rich imagination.　

    56. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is ______.

    A. repeated without any change　　 　　　　　　 　　 B. treated as no more than a joke

    C. made some changes by parents　 　　 　　 D. set in the present situation

    57. According to the passage, when a child hears a terrible fairy story, ______.

    A. he will get more interested 　　　　　　　 　　 B. great fear can take place in him

    C. he will like it to be repeated　　　 　 　　 D. an experiment is being done

    58. The word “sound” in Para.3 can be understood as ______.

    A. fashionable 　　　 B. forgettable 　　　　 　　 C. available　　　　　 　 D. believable

    59. The author mentions “sticks” and “telephones” to prove that ______.

    A. fairy stories are all made up　　　　　　　 　 B. fairy tales lead to misunderstanding

    C. children are cheated by old stories　 　　　 　　 D. there is more concern for children

    60. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that ______.

    A. they are made up far from the truth 　　B. they are so full of imagination　 　　 　　

    C. they are not interesting at all　　　　　　 　 D. they make history difficult to teach

    61. It makes sense that parents choose fairy stories with ______ as “bed-time” reading materials..

    A. formal printings B. creative scenes 　　

    C. positive effect D. terrible characters

    There are good Santas and there are bad Santas. The good Santas all realize one thing: In the mind of a child, Santa Claus is perfect.

    That’s difficult. And so they come from around the world to attend the Charles W. Howard School in Midland, Mich. The school offers a three-day, 40-hour course for Santas hoping to be excellent. There’s a real range to what Santas earn, from big bucks for large events to no pay for charities①. One thing for them all is a pure love for children.

    A former Macy’s Santa named Charles Howard founded the Michigan school in 1937. “Many people will think if you have a suit and you’re a Santa,” said Tom Valent, the school’s current dean. “It’s more than that.” So with a pet reindeer②, his properly named wife Holly and a workshop full of wonder.

    The school teaches everything from breathing techniques for carol singing to the beard maintenance. There are lessons in child psychology, sign language and even media training for talk-show appearances and call-in shows. Santas also need to make sure they know all the names of the reindeer. What’s harder to deal with, however, is children who ask for Christmas gifts like bringing daddy home or making mommy happy again.

    After spending time in the classroom, Weir went to the mall to test his training. However, at one point, his hat fell off, and he was unsure how to react. “You’re the real Santa,” Valent said. “Pick that hat up, slip it back on, keep smiling and do your job. You’ve got to stay on top of your game. Even the last one at night, when you’re tired, you’ve got to remember: This one’s forever, so do a good job.”

    Notes:

    charity  n. 慈善，慈善团体

    reindeer  n. 驯鹿

    According to the passage, good Santas should be the ones that ________.

            A. can offer the children some gifts        B. help adults look after their children

            C. have ability to make children happy     D. should be perfect in the mind of children

    The underlined words “big bucks” should refer to ________.

            A. lots of money   B. many gifts    C. loves for children    D. gifts from children

    The Michigan school was founded by Charles Howard with the purpose to ________.

            A. train the pet reindeer for the Santas       B. earned money from its students

            C. train perfect Santas for the world         D. show the world’s concern to the poor

    According to Weir’s performance, we can conclude that ________.

            A. Weir was short of experience            B. Weir was not fit for the job as a Santa

            C. Weir did very badly in the game         D. Weir was not a good student in school

     (10·四川A篇)

    I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part. in. and live in.

         With this unshakable belief, I, at. fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

    Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)．As a. law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

    41. What can be inferred about the author as a child? w_w w. k#s5_u.c o*m

    A.  He never watched TV. w_w*w.k_s*5_u.c_o m

    B.  He read what he had to.

    C.  He found reading unbelievable.

    D.  He considered reading part of his life.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

    42. The underlined word "voice" in the second paragraph most probably means “       ”.

    A.  an idea     

    B.  a sound quality

    C.  a way of writing

    D.  a world to write about

    43. What effect does reading have on the author? w_w*w.k_s*5_u.c_o m

    A.  It helps him to realize his dream.

    B.  It opens up a wider world for him.

    C.  It makes his college life more interesting.

    D.  It increases his interest in worldwide travel.

    44. Which of the following can be the best title of this text? w_w w. k#s5_u.c o*m

    A.  Why do I read?

    B.  How do I read?

    C.  What do I read? 

    D.  When do I read?

    任务型阅读

    某校正在开展课外阅读小组活动Peter, Helen, Catherine, Elizabeth和Jessica想根据自己小组成员的喜好找一篇英语阅读材料。阅读下面某报纸的文章摘要（A, B, C, D, E, F），选出适合他们的文章，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

    1．Peter’s group members are fond of an article which can help them to find something that can both challenge their intelligence and provide entertainment．

    2．Helen’s group members are fashionable and fond of advanced technology．They like reading something that can provide them with inspirations in achieving success and changing people’s way of life．

    3．Catherine’s group members are athletic and spend a lot of time working out．They are fond of any stories about stars in the sports world．

    4．Elizabeth’s group members want to read some articles which can help them keep pace with the trend of fashion．They hope to find in the article some hints on helping improve their appearances．

    5．Jessica’s group members are keen on becoming volunteers and therefore are looking for some articles that can increase their chances of being chosen．

    A．

    Wang’s little big ideas

    Apps are transforming smart phones into multi-tasking gadgets that can locate a good restaurant and even help you with your love life．As the iPhone4 hits China, Zhang Chunmei meets the Chinese programmer behind an App Store bestseller to find how a tiny idea can make a big difference and how apps influence our digital lifestyle．

    B．

    Showcase for talent

    Susan Boyle, you better watch out．Semifinal day on China’s Got Talent is fast approaching and these contestants（竞争者） just might push you off your pedestal （宝座）．Like them or hate them, there’s no denying the contestants are causing something of a stir across the country．The performers singled out on this page will certainly offer a show about which you’ll have something to say．

    C．

    Top of the crops

    You might think Fashion Week is about dresses rather than hairstyles．But you’d be wrong．Whether the models are in New York, London or Milan, who’s sporting the prettiest, trendiest or most shocking hairstyle is as hot a topic as the clothes on the catwalk．Despite the many hair highlights of the 2010 Fashion Week, we’ve managed to comb through the masses of material to pick a few of our favorites here．

    D．

    Movie messes with your head

    Driving home from a screening of Inception, my husband said to me: “I don’t know how you are going to write about this movie．” “What, you mean without giving anything away?” I asked．“No,” he said．“I don’t know how you are going to explain what it’s about．” The film, by writer-director Christopher Nolan, is a gorgeous（极好的）, technically perfect symphony（交响曲） of images and ideas．

    （E）

    Woods to split

    The marriage between the golf star and his wife is officially over．Official divorce papers state that “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken”, thus bringing to an end the couple’s six-year marriage．Woods and Nordgren have lived apart since Woods’ November 2009 car crash, which was followed by Woods’ public admission of a series of affairs with other women．

    （F）

    Flowers set to bloom

    What exactly does it take for a young woman to be considered a “campus flower?” Some say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but surely there must be certain essential criteria．Perhaps we can get some answers by taking a closer look inside the training camp of the Universiade Star in Shenzhen, a competition organized to select the guides, waiters, torchbearers and flag bearers for the 2011 games．
