Uncle Tom gave little Vicki Black a birthday gift one week before her birthday. He told her not to open it until her birthday. She knew her mother wouldn't tolerate any disrespect to the kind man who helped them out after Vicki's father passed away. Besides, Vicki didn't want to get Uncle Tom angry. But little Vicki didn't want to just hold it and guess what was in it. After all, she looked forward to his coming to show her interesting things, like how to turn an old sock into a doll. All the day, Vicki couldn't stop thinking about the gift. While her teacher was giving a lecture, Vicki sat still in her seat, drawing paper dolls inside the box. When school was done, she raced home. Walking into the room, again, she shook the present, but she heard nothing. Holding her breath, she opened the box and looked inside. Seconds later, she cried. When Mrs Black saw the box, she said angrily, \"Didn't I tell you to leave it alone?\"

Vicki sobbed (抽泣) and said, \"Mommy, you don't understand.\"

\"Don't cry to me. You have missed everything now, just because you couldn't wait,\" Mrs Black accused. \"What will Uncle Tom think now?\"

\"Uncle Tom gave me nothing,\" Vicki cried and handed the empty box to her mother. \"He played a trick on me.\"

Mrs Black said doubtfully, \"Uncle Tom is not like that. You must have dropped it.\"

Vicki kept crying. Only a rapid knock on the door made the house quiet. It was Uncle Tom. He looked at the empty box. \"You have already done it? I told you to wait for your birthday.\" \"You didn't give me a gift.\" Fresh tears filled her eyes.

\"I try to give you something. I know your birthday is a special day. I tell myself to give you something valuable to last your whole life. I think hard and get an idea to give you an important lesson. If you open it on birthday, I see you learn. Then I will make a big party to celebrate, Maybe next year you listen, and then you will understand the gift better.\" Vicki's cheeks flushed (发红).

So much to do, so little time. So much information, so little time to read it. In this age there is more information than ever before. There is not enough time to read everything we want to read. However, you can consume more information in shorter time through speed-reading.

The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it. Don’t say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its importance. Later you will recognize clumps of four words or more to increase your speed. This is the first and most important step in speed-reading.

The next step is technique. As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique. You should first be sitting up straight with your book flat on a horizontal (水平的) surface such as a table or a desk. Next, you should be able to see the entire page. This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words. Lastly, you should be focused. It is hard to read with a lot of noise.

Find a quiet place to read. This will help your understanding of the text.

You need something to guide your eyes while reading. You should use your finger. Move your finger smoothly across the page. Keep your eyes focused on the words as you recognize them while using your finger as a guide. This will increase your speed.

The third step is practice. Practice makes perfect. Read using different techniques, but make sure you understand what you are reading.

63．From the first paragraph, we know that ______. A. people can read what they like

B. the less you read, the more time you will spend C. there is more limited information than ever before

D. conditions ask people to use less time to know more information

．Which of the following shows the RIGHT time order for speed-reading according to the passage?

a. Ask for more technique. b. Look at many words and recognize them. c. Practise more.

A. c, a, b B. b, a, c C. c, b, a D. a, c, b

65．The underlined part “you should be focused” in the third paragraph means that . A. a person should devote all his attention to reading B. your feelings will be hurt while reading

C. a person should forget his difficulties while reading D. you should pay attention to your faults while reading 66．To speed up your reading, you could . A. know it is necessary to read quickly B. say every word out loud

C. use something to guide your eyes D. underline some important words while reading

D

As a senior, my future is always on my mind. To be exact, thoughts of the future have kept me up countless nights and made me worry enough to do poorly on more than one test. Because of this, words of wisdom are a source of comfort. Steve Jobs once gave a speech to Stanford’s graduating class in 2005 and his words resound repeatedly in my mind whenever I think about my future.

When I hear Jobs discuss his life as a student, some of my fears were eased. He, too, felt the need to attend college to make something of himself. He faced what many are extremely afraid of: uncertainty. His lack of understanding caused him to stop attending college and focus on what he felt was important. His story had a happy ending, of course, since he certainly turned out well. This doesn’t mean that students shouldn’t attend college, but rather that they shouldn’t worry so much.

Jobs talked about the hardships in his work. His love of his work helped him carry on and he got where he was meant to be, which restates the point: don’ t panic.

One particular part of his speech stayed with me. Steve Jobs quoted（引用）the saying “Stay hungry, stay foolish” and it has become my motto. Staying foolish is realizing that you are still a fool, no matter how much you’ve learned or experienced. There is always more to explore. Staying hungry is wanting to find those things about which you are still uneducated.

Steve Jobs’s level of success is attainable, and I aim to prove that. With the will power to go into the world living every day like it’s my last and allowing the future to take care of itself, I will do great things. In the last moments of my life, I’ll be proud of what I have done and hope to have all the wisdom a person could wish for. 67．The author felt worried when ______.

A. he thought about his future B. he had to take tests at school C. he had lots of sleepless nights D. he searched for words of wisdom 68．It is suggested in first two paragraphs that ______.

A. Steve Jobs didn’t attend college at all B. Steve Jobs failed because of his decision C. Jobs’ speech influenced the author greatly D. the author once discussed life with Jobs 69．What did the author gain from Jobs’s speech?

A. Courage to drop out of school. B. Bravery to face uncertainties. C. Confidence in defeating Jobs. D. Interest in computer industry. 70．The passage is mainly about ______.

A. the wisdom drawn from a speech B. the most impressive quotation in life C. a memorable meeting with Jobs D. an experience of a speech

七选五阅读----根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(注意：看清楚题号，填涂在答题卡的相应位置上)

You already know that you should wake up early to become more productive, and perhaps you have also heard that you shouldn’t check your email first in the morning. While this advice is good and well-documented, there is also another kind of productivity advice that is as effective as well. 71．

1. Work when there is a distraction(分心) around

Your environment doesn’t have to be 100% quiet if you want to get work done. Let’s say that you are working from home and you have kids. Let’s also assume that you don’t have a quiet workspace in your home to do your work. Naturally, you could decide to do work during the quiet hours. 72． .

2. Drink coffee before taking a nap(小憩）

73． Then take a caffeine nap. Combining coffee and napping time can have a big improvement in one’s personal productivity. Drink a cup of coffee, take a 20-minute nap right afterward and wake-up refreshed. 3. 74． It’s so funny to think that the places that seem like the last ones in which to get anything done are the best for productivity. I’m talking about trains and when I travel alone, I look forward to getting work done there. In fact, I have done a lot of work during my trips when I’m moving from one place to another.

4. Close the curtains（窗帘）

Closing the curtains can improve your productivity. I might do some work at the dining table where there is a window to the left of me. Since I can see the nearby parking space through the window (and the people and moving cars as well), the movement might catch my attention, so the simplest way to prevent the distraction is to close the curtains. 75． A. Focus on one thing at a time. B. Work in a train.

C. Have a mobile Internet access with you. D. Try these tips and see how they work for you. E. But not all of the tasks have to be done then. F. That way I can put all of my attention to my work. G. Want to improve your afternoon productivity?

How time flies! This is a third year that I have been in this school. In the past two years, our school had organized many activities. That impressed me most was an activity calling “Learning to Farm”. In an autumn afternoon, we went to a farm which we learned to plant potatoes. Having been in the city for so a long time, we were so happy to go to the countryside. After we were divided into 3 groups, we started to work. Some students cut potatoes into pieces; some dug holes, and the others put the pieces into the hole, put the earth back and pushed them down hard. We continued doing that until all the work was done. Although we were exhausted, but we felt happy on our way home.
