1.B
Tim Richter and his wife,Linda,had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo,New York--he in computers,she in special education."Teaching means everything to us,"Tim would say.In April1998,he learned he would need a heart operation.It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.
Not long after the surgery,Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library,a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation (基金會(huì)) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier,Tennessee."I thought,maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,"Tim recalls.He placed the brochure on his desk,"as a reminder."
Five years later,now retired and with that brochure still on the desk,Tim clicked on imagination library.com.The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters.Rather than sign up online,they went to Dollywood for a look-see."We didn't want to give the children rubbish,"says Linda.The books-reviewed each year by teachers,literacy specialists and Dollywood board members-included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series.
Satisfied,the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work.Since 2004,they have shipped more than 12,200books to preschoolers in their in their area.Megan Williams,a mother of four,is more than appreciative:"This program introduces us to books I've never heard of."
The Richters spend about$400a month sending books to 200children."Some people sit there and wait to die,"says Tim."Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left."
61.What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?
A.His health problem   B.His love for teaching  C.The influence of his wife D.The news from the Web
62.What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?
A.Give out brochures.B.Do something similar.
C.Write books for children             D.Retire from being a teacher.
63.According to the text,Dollly Parton isC.
A.a(chǎn) well-known surgeon               B.a(chǎn) mother of a four-year-old
C.a(chǎn) singer born in Tennessee            D.a(chǎn) computer programmer
64.Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?
A.To avoid signing up online.B.To meet Dollywood board members.
C.To make sure the books were the newest.D.To see if the books were of good quality.
65.What can we learn from Tim's words in the last paragraph?
A.He needs more money to help the children.B.He wonders why some people are so busy.
C.He tries to save those waiting to die.D.He considers his efforts worthwhile.

分析 文章介紹了Richter夫婦接觸到一個(gè)名為Imagination Library的項(xiàng)目,于是在退休后做出捐獻(xiàn)書給兒童的決定,并且為此建立了基金會(huì)的事情,而且他們認(rèn)為這使得他們的人生更為有意義.

解答 61.答案:A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由文章第一段的"he learned he would need a heart operation.It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose."可知是Tim 得病導(dǎo)致他思考生命的意義.故選A.
62.答案:B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從第二段Tim說的話中"I thought,maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,"知道他打算在退休后做類似的事,故選B.
63.答案:C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從第二段的第一句中"a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation (基金會(huì)) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier,Tennessee"得出Dollly  Parton 是singer.故選B.
64.答案:D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從第四段第一、二句"The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters.Rather than sign up online,they went to Dollywood for a look-see."可知,the Richters 關(guān)心的是書的質(zhì)量.故選D.
65.答案:D.推理判斷題.從最后一段Tim的話."Some people sit there and wait to die,Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left."有些人坐而等待死亡,而有些人則在他的余生盡可能的忙碌著.可知,他認(rèn)為自己做出的事情是值得的有意義的.故選D.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做這類題一般采用尋讀法,即先讀題,然后帶著問題快速閱讀短文,找出與問題有關(guān)的詞語或句子,再對(duì)相關(guān)部分進(jìn)行分析對(duì)比,找出答案.

16.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從下框的A~F選項(xiàng)中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該選項(xiàng)涂黑.選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)為多余項(xiàng).
A.Be well-organised.
B.Close with a Q & A.
C.Don't be contradictory.
D.Bring it to a specific end
E.Speak slowly and pause.
F.Drop unnecessary words
Speaking to a group can be difficult,but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome task-especially when the speaker is confusing.Don't want to confuse your audience?Follow these suggestions:
61.E
When it comes to understanding new information,the human brain needs a little time.First,we hear the words; then,we compare the new information to what we already know.If the two are different,we need to pause and think.But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us.Slow it
62.C
Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions,which is very difficult to follow.When you the audience confuse your listeners with opposing information,you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember.Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself,work to get the facts clear and straight.
63.A
Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus (責(zé)任)on your listeners to make up for your lack of organisation.And it's confusing for them to listen,reorganise,and figure out what you're saying all at once.But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily.You can arrange things from beginning to end,small to large,top to bottom or by some other order.Just be sure to organise.
64.F
Repeated use of um,ah,like,you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy.It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared,and it can leave listeners so annoyed that they can't pay attention.Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes.Was anybody grasping the intended message?Um,probably not.
65.D
Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer (Q & A) sessions,but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end.The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave.Do your listeners a favour by setting a time limit on questions,and close your speech with a specific signal-even if it's something simple like,"If you have any more questions,you know where to reach me."
Or even more to the point,conclude your speech with"Thanks for your time."

6.If we agree that the function of education is to prepare us for life,then there is very little time to waste.So,while we can,we ought to concentrate on teaching children something really useful.Here is what our schools should teach.
     Politeness is a mark of civilization.The sooner children learn this,the better.In any case,a lot can be accomplished by a smile and good manners.
     Like it or not,our adult lives will be consumed by the struggle for money,but we don't make an effort to teach children how to manage it.So our schools have a duty to teach them this ability from the beginning.
     We're likely to accept something we are told,but that's not what educated people do.Educated people are reasonable and they look at facts.If our schools teach nothing else,they should at least teach critical(批判性的)thinking.
Children should learn to take care of their health.They should know that if they eat junk food(垃圾食品),they will become fat and unhealthy.They should be very clear about what happens to their bodies when they drink or smoke.
     All of us are part of society.We have rights and responsibilities.We ought to understand what they are.We have to know a little bit of our history and geography,because we need to have an environment in which to relate to the people around us.
   How will we test students on these?We can't.But that's not a reason to avoid teaching what is important.Our schools should spend every moment they have telling this to our children:"This is life,this is what you are going to face,and this is how you deal with it."
TitleVery Useful (76)Teaching/Education/Schooling.
IntroductionEducation should be a (77)preparationfor life.
AdviceImportant things should be taught in (78)school(s).
