26 the teacher whispered something from the desk, which the child repeated. Then the same for the other ear. Nobody checked how tightly the
27 ear was covered, so I only pretended to block mine.
As
28 I was the last. But all through the testing I
29 what Mrs. Leonard might say to me. I knew from previous tests that the teacher
30 things like “The sky is blue.” or “Do you have new shoes?”
My
31 came. I turned my bad ear toward her, plugging the other just enough to be able to hear. I waited, and then came the
32 words that changed my life
33 .
Mrs. Leonard, the teacher I
34 , said softly, “I
35 you were my little girl.”

PartIII. Reading Comprehension (50 points)
Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by a number of questions for comprehension. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
Passage One
I don't know how I became a writer, but I think it was because of a certain force in me that finally burst through and found a channel. My father, an ordinary worker, was a man with a great respect. He had a tremendous memory, and he loved poetry, Hamlet's Soliloquy, Macbeth , Grey' s "Elegy" , and all the rest of it. I heard it all as a child; I memorized and learned it all.
He sent me to college to the state university. The desire to write, which had been strong during all my days in high school, grew stronger still. I was editor of the college paper, the college magazine, etc, and in my last year or two I was a member of a course in playwriting which had just been established there. I wrote several little one-act plays, still thinking I would become a lawyer or a newspaper man, never daring to believe I could seriously become a writer.
Then I went to Harvard, wrote some more plays there, became obsessed （着迷的） with the idea that I had to be a playwright, left Harvard, had my plays rejected, and finally in the autumn of 1926, how, why, or in what manner I have never exactly been able to determine. But probably because the force in me finally sought out its channel, I began to write my first book in London, I was living all alone at that time. I had two rooms - a bedroom and a sitting room - in a litter square in Chelsea in which all the houses had that familiar, smoked brick and cream-yellow-plaster look.
36. From paragraph 1, we know that author's father ______.
A. played an important role in his choice of career
B. had no interest in literature
C. strongly opposed his becoming a writer
D. suggested that he read Hamlet to learn to writer
37. The author believes that he became a writer mostly because of ______.
A. his special talent
B. his father's teaching
C. his study at Harvard
D. a hidden force in him
38. At Harvard, the author ______.
A. was editor of the college magazine
B. began to think of becoming a writer
C. took a course in playwriting
D. worded as a newspaper man
39. What did the author do in 1926?
A. He published his plays.
B. He got married.
C. He went to Harvard.
D. He started his first book.
40. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. How I Loved My Father.
B. How I Went to Harvard.
C. How I became a Writer.
D. How I Wanted to Be a Lawyer.
Passage Two
Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are talking on-line: many of them are talking at the same time. If you’ve been joining in chat room conversations, you might have become one of the millions who wrote in a special short form of English.
It is fast: it allows you to talk to six people once. It is convenient: you can use three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness concentration and quick fingers. And it requires very simple language.
There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why bother to press the keys telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother
when BRB (=be right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in). Interested in whom you’re talking to Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pals age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal. If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing). And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).
People want to write as fast as possible and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital （大写的） letters in sentences are left in the dust, except when expressing feeling, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation （标点） is going too.
41. According to paragraph 1, online chatting allows people in the world to ______.
A. learn millions of words
B. pick out things to buy
C. talk at the same time
D. find out funny tings
42. What does the underlined sentence in paragrahp2 mean?
A. People have to communicate in a funny way.
B. People have to express themselves in a proper way.
C. People have to communicate in a logical way.
D. People have to express themselves in a simple way.
43. An answer “19/M/Hk” to your A/S/L question means ______.
A. a 19-year-old boy from Hong Kong
B. a boy being online for 19 minutes
C. being in Hong Kong for 19 months
D.19 boys from Hong Kong
44. Which of the following is a way to save time when chatting online?
A. Using less short forms of English.
B. Using less capital letters or punctuation.
C. Coming up with ideas as quickly as possible.
D. Using the “shift” key when sending E-mails.
45. What is this passage mainly about?
A. A special form of English online.
B. A special form of chatting room.
C. A new function of the Internet.
D. A new function of computers.
Passage Three
Many doctors are now trained in techniques to lessen tension and stress. Here health professionals reveal their favorite methods.
Comfort with food. When diet expert Judith Wurtman is stressed out, she does what a lot of people do this time of year: she reaches for food. But in her case, it’s a healthy rice cake or two. “My research suggests that carbohydrates (碳水化合物) raise levels of a brain chemical, which has a calming effect on the entire body,” says the MIT research scientist. “So signs of stress---such as anger, tension, and inability to focus---are eased.”
Run from your problems. Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper, who popularized aerobics (有氧运动) through his book, handles his own stress with a daily after-work run. He knows that physical activity reduces anxiety and depression. “Aerobic exercise is the best way to dissipate stress,” says Cooper.
Look to the light side. On his way to the hospital where his father was to have surgery, Joel Goodman shared a hotel bus with the anxious relatives of several patients. The driver began telling his stress-out passengers a few jokes. “Then he did some magic tricks that hadmy mother and me laughing,” Goodman says. “In that five-minute ride he taught us that humor can lessen our stress.” The surgery was successful, and Goodman was so moved by his experience that he researched laughter’s power. “A good laugh relaxes muscles, reduces blood pressure, restrains stress-related hormones and enhances the immune system (免疫系统),” he says.
Go green. Coffee, loaded with hidden sources of caffeine (咖啡因), stimulates the nervous system and can make you feel stressed more easily. That’s why Arizona doctor Andrew Weil, author of the best seller Spontaneous Healing, does not take caffeine. “When I want gentle energy, I drink green tea. It contains a caffeine-like element,” Weil says. It also contains compounds that, some studies suggest, have anti-cancer effects.
46. When people have stress, Judith Wurtman suggest that they ______.
A. eat something B. take medicine
C. go on a diet D. sit for a while
47. By taking a run after work, a person can ______.
A. raise stress level B. feel less anxious
C. forget about his work D. finish his daily work
48. What is the meaning of the word “dissipate” in paragraph 3?
A. Disturb. B. Level. C. Reduce. D. Depress.
49. Look to the light side can ______.
A. make you anxious B. stress you out
C. make you immune to stress D. lessen your stress
50. Which of the following groups of people can have a happier life, according to the passage?
A. Those who are continuously eating something.
B. Those who use right methods to reduce tension.
C. Those who study medicine of psychology.
D. Those who are always engaged in working.
Passage Four
What you give your relatives, friends, husband, or wife can help you know yourself better. Also, what they give you can tell you something about their personality. Most gift-giving (and getting) shows nothing more than the spirit of love and friendship. But it is possible to form some associations between the kinds of things bought and the people who buy them. Here is a guide to who gives what—and why.
The clothes you wear tell something about your personality. They tell the world not only how you want to be seen but how you see yourself as well. When some gives you something to wear that agrees with your self-image, they’re saying, “I agree with you. I like you the way you are.” Such a gift should be taken as a form of compliment. On the other hand, a gift of clothing that does not match your personality could be an insult to your character.
Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries today---so much so that giving a homemade gift is sometimes considered unusual. If you receive a homemade gift, you’re lucky. It may not be made perfectly, but it will show a certain quality of love. People who give homemade gifts may be very generous because they’ve given time and emotion.
A person who thinks of food when thinking of a gift is good example of what human warmth means. Whether you give a box of chocolates, a bag of oranges, or a ball of cheese,
all carry the same message of comfort and support.
51. The first paragraph is written mainly to tell readers that ______.
A. gifts should be given to relatives and friends
B. gifts can show friendship
C. gifts can tell you something about the gift-giver
D. gifts can show generosity
52. A person who likes the self-image of another person will give the latter ______.
A. a gift that matches the character of the giver
B. a gift that was made at home by the giver
C. beautiful clothes to compliment the receiver
D. a gift that agrees with the personality of the receiver
53. According to the passage, people are thought to be very generous if they give ______.
A. gifts made by hand
B. a gift of clothing
C. an object that shows warmth
D. a thing not found in one’s country
54. What kind of message is communicated by a gift for food?
A. Generosity. B. Support. C. Creativity. D. Diversity.
55. The purpose of the passage if to ______.
A. describe B. narrate C. analyze D. persuade
