Some people think that we read

19、one word 36 , understand it and then go on to the next. Other people think that our eyes smoothly 37 over each line from left to right, then back to the beginning of the 38 line, and so on. In fact, the physical action of reading usually doesn't work in 39 of those ways. 40 you do this experimen

20、t with a friend. Get hold of a book with a large page 41 and with lines that go right 42 the page. 43 your friend to 44 the book up and to read it with the top of the book just 45 his eye level.

21、at your friend's eyes do not make a continuous forward sweep. 48 they progress by little "jumps", moving, then stopping, as they progress along the line. 49 to be this starting and stopping movement 50 the eye can see only when it is not moving. Every time the eye 51 , it sees a phrase

22、 or even a sentence, then jumps to the next part of the line, and so on. There is another interesting fact about eye movement. You will notice that, 52 , the reader goes back and looks again at something he 53 before, in other words, he returns to an earlier part of the text probably because he 54 h

27、 the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)     Daniel Brown was just five years old when he climbed into the family car and let it roll away down the road. He was only three when be flooded the kitchen.      His mother, Angela Brown, is

28、in despair. She is very busy looking after her new baby, a little gift called Laura, as well as Daniel. She told us, "Daniel is so full of curiosity." At that moment, we hear a huge crash and then silence. We go upstairs and find Daniel crawling out of a wardrobe(衣櫥) he has pulled over ont

29、o the floor, with a book in his hand. "It's for you, Mum," he says and looks up at his mum and smiles. Seven-year-old Daniel has a lovely face. He has golden hair, big brown eyes, and a friendly smile. I have to admit that Daniel doesn't look like a naughty boy.   &#

30、160;  Angela told me all about it. "Once I found him as he was about to put Jasper in the washing machine." Jasper, she explained, is the Browns' dog. "When I asked him why, he said that he thought Jasper was dirty!  It's amazing how one little boy can cause so much

31、trouble. Another time he cut off all the hair of the little girl next door. She was going to attend her sister's wedding and the neighbours haven't spoken to us since."     Angela told me about Daniel's most expensive crime.  "I was about to do the wash

32、ing up when the baby started crying. Daniel decided to help and filled the kitchen sink with water. When I came in the water was already flooding the kitchen and was about to flood the hall. The carpet was ruined and had to be replaced. I hope things will get better as he gets older." 

33、0;   Amazingly, Daniel is quite well behaved in school. This may be because he is rarely bored. Meanwhile he continues to be the naughtiest little boy in England. Will his baby sister Laura grow up to be the naughtiest little girl?56. What did Daniel do while his mother was talking to the

34、author?     A. He drove away the family car.     B. He cut off the hair of the girl next door.     C. He flooded the kitchen.     D. He fell to the floor with the wardrobe.57. Why was Daniel going to put the dog in the w

35、ashing machine?      A. He meant to clean the dog.      B. He wanted to punish the dog.      C. He intended to make trouble.      D. He wished to draw his mother's attention.58. It can be inferred

36、 from the passage that _     A. the mother spoiled the boy     B. the boy found school life interesting     C. the mother lost hope in the boy     D. the boy had no freedom at home(B)    Transportation and

37、 communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers to transportation and communication. In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of

38、their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africa's government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carr

39、y identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move.   Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travellers have to carry special papers suc

40、h as passports and visas(簽證). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year.  Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.    Many of t

41、hose barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication. When two governments disagree with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.    

42、Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. B

43、ut in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.59. The examples in paragraph 2 are used to tell the readers that _     A. people have been allowed to travel freely within the country    

44、B. people have not been permitted to travel freely for various reasons     C. travellers have to carry special papers such aspassports and visas     D. customs posts are necessary at the borders ofthe countries60. Some governments limit the freedom of communic

45、ation because_     A.  they intend to keep their national secrets unknown to others     B.  they think such freedom will lead to wars     C.  they often disagree with each other on important matters     D.

46、  they want to show their authority over communication61. We may learn from the passage that _     A. people do not care about the removal of barriers between countries     B. people can not remove the obstacles made by themselves    

47、C. man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome than natural ones     D. barriers should be taken for granted as they always exist62. Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?      A. Barriers Made by People   

48、;  B. Functions of Communication      C. Restrictions on Transportation      D. Progress of Human Society（C）                       

49、0;      PeopleNOBLE SMUGGLERThis Thursday, Irena Sendler will be honoured for her work as a smuggler(偷運(yùn)者). During World War II, the Polish social worker smuggled nearly 2,500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto(聚居區(qū)). She gave them new identities, found them safe pl

50、aces with good-hearted Christians, and kept the children's real names buried in jars in her neighbours' gardens. (The play, Life in a Jar, based on her story, is being performed.) At 93, Sendler lives in a Warsaw nursing home and is too weak to travel to Washington D.C., to receive the 2003

51、Jan Karski Award for Valor and Compassion from the American Center of Polish Culture. One of the children she saved will accept the award for her.You risked your life to save the children.     I was taught by my father that when someone is drowning, you don't ask if they can

52、swim, you just jump in and help. During the war, everyone was drowning, but mostly the Jewish children.How did you persuade parents to give up their children?     I had to answer honestly that I didn't even know if we would get past the guards.What was the most frightening mo

53、ment?     When I saw a priest(牧師) in charge of an orphanage for Jewish children in the ghetto walk with them out to be killed. The children were in then best Sunday suits. The priest was killed with them.How did you get the children to behave as you smuggled them out?  

54、  I told the older children to act as if they were sick and sometimes gave the younger ones a sleeping pill. They were told to remember their new names. I also told the children to tell guards they had only been visiting a servant in the ghetto and were going back to their real homes outside.Di

55、d you tell your own two children what you did?     I never told them. Only when my daughter went to Israel did she learn all about me. I thought it was only normal to do so. And it was a very painful subject. It was always on my mind that I couldn't do more.
