6.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 (觀點(diǎn)) by creating worlds we could step into,take part.in.a(chǎn)nd 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 (文學(xué)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?D
A.He never watched TV.
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"C".
A.a(chǎn)n idea
B.a(chǎn) sound quality
C.a(chǎn) way of writing
D.a(chǎn) world to write about
43.What effect does reading have on the author?B
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?A
A.Why do I read?
B.How do I read?
C.What do I read?
D.When do I read?

14歲時(shí)就下定決心成為一名作家.明白一名作家只有通過廣泛的閱讀,才能找到自己的寫作方式,從而說出自己想要表達(dá)的內(nèi)容.
現(xiàn)在,作為一名大學(xué)生,我認(rèn)識(shí)到閱讀是多么的重要.閱讀豐富了我的人生,拓寬了我的視野,體驗(yàn)了我的人生中未必會(huì)擁有的世界.

解答 41.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段第二句I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives(觀點(diǎn))by creating worlds we could step into,take part in and live in.可知,作者把閱讀看作是和呼吸一樣自然的事情,是生活的一部分.故選D.
42.C 詞義猜測(cè)題.根據(jù)劃線單詞的前面一句Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say,but being unable to find the right ways to say it.以及后面一句He cannot write without loving to read,because…可知,作家通過廣泛的閱讀來找到自己的寫作方式,從而"說"出他們想要表達(dá)的內(nèi)容.故選C.
43.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第三段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.可知,閱讀讓作者了解了不同的人生,體驗(yàn)了不同的經(jīng)歷,而這些是在作者的人生中未必會(huì)擁有的,從而拓寬了作者的世界和人生.故選A.

Until recently, scientists had mapped only about 20 percent of the sea floor. But our knowledge of the deep seas is changing because of information from satellites. Scientists have produced a new map that provides a detailed picture of the oceans. The map is expected to help oceanographers (海洋學(xué)家), industry and governments.

The new map is twice as detailed as the map made 20 years ago. David Sandwell is a geophysics professor at the University of California. He and other scientists worked on the mapping project. He says they turned to space to look deeper into the ocean.

The scientists collected and studied information from two satellites. Some of the data came from the European Space Agency’s Cryo-2 satellite. It was placed in Earth's orbit to watch sea ice. The other satellite is the American space agency's Jason-1. It is studying the surface of the oceans. Scientists combined the satellite data with images gathered by sonar (聲波定位儀) equipment on ships. Sonar works by sending sound waves through the water. When the sound waves hit an object, its presence is confirmed.

The new map shows the sea floor as it has never been seen before. It shows thousands of underwater mountains and places where continents pulled apart. It shows where earthquakes were active many years ago. They all are buried deep underneath the ocean floor.

David Sandwell says the map is a powerful tool for fisheries, those interested in protecting the environment and for oil exploration.

“The petrol exploration industry is interested in how to reconnect the continents, bring them back together tectonically so you can map the basins on one continental edge—say, Africa—and use that to establish where the similar basin would be on the other continental edge in South America.”

If scientists know that information, they may be able to find oil fields. The new data also will help scientists improve their estimates of ocean depths. This information can help ships travel safely and improve military operations and scientific projects worldwide.

Mr. Sandwell thinks scientists will make many more discoveries as they examine the new map and the information it provides.

1.Which one is not mentioned about the benefits brought by the new map?

A. Fisheries. B. Scientific projects.

C. Ship manufacture. D. Oil exploration.

2.What can we know about the new map?

A. It shows where earthquakes will happen.

B. It will be helpful to industry and governments.

C. It is three times as detailed as the old one years ago.

D. It shows the sea floor as it has ever been seen before.

3.The text is likely to appear in _________.

A. a newspaper B. an advertisement

C. a science magazine D. a finance report

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. The detailed picture of the oceans

B. Underwater mountains and places

C. More discoveries about the oceans

D. Scientists create new maps of ocean floor

1.Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留。 customers.It sounds simple and achievable.But,(50)inreality,words of wisdom are soon forgotten.Once companies have attracted customers they often (51)overlook the second half of the story.In the excitement of beating off the competition,negotiating prices,securing orders,and delivering the product,managers tend to become carried away.They forget what they regard as the boring side of business-(52)ensuring that the customer remains a customer.
(53)Failing to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually.It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10and 30per cent of its customers every years.In constantly changing (54)markets,this is not surprising.What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.
Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the(55)financial
implications.Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big (56)difference in its performance.Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to (57)profit increases of between 25and 85per cent.
In the US,Domino's Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000over ten years.A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and(58)asaresult never returns,is losing the company thousands of dollars in(59)potential profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).
The logic behind cultivating customer (60)loyalty is impossible to deny."In practice most companies'marketing effort is focused on getting customers,with little attention paid to(61)keeping them",says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University'School of Management."Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.(62)Established customers tend to buy more,are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers.Furthermore,they tend to be less price (63)sensitive,and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising.Retaining customers also makes it (64)difficult for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.
50.A.in particularB.in realityC.a(chǎn)t leastD.first of all
51.A.emphasizeB.doubtC.overlookD.believe
52.A.denyingB.ensuringC.a(chǎn)rguingD.proving
53.A.MovingB.HopingC.StartingD.Failing
54.A.marketsB.tastesC.pricesD.expenses
55.A.cultureB.socialC.financialD.economical
56.A.promiseB.planC.mistakeD.difference
57.A.costB.opportunityC.profitD.budget
58.A.a(chǎn)s a resultB.on the wholeC.in conclusionD.on the contrary
59.A.hugeB.potentialC.extraD.reasonable
60.A.beliefsB.loyaltyC.habitsD.interest
61.A.a(chǎn)lteringB.understandingC.keepingD.a(chǎn)ttracting
62.A.AssumedB.RespectedC.EstablishedD.Unexpected
