三、阅读理解（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分）

                           (A)

Some students think it difficult to learn English well. That’s because they don’t find the right way. I think reading is very important for students. The more you read, the better you’ll understand. Reading is helpful to listening, speaking and writing.

If you often read English aloud, you’ll improve your listening. On the other hand, listening a lot can help you to read better. Reading English everywhere when you are free, if you wish. You can get a lot of knowledge when you read. Sometimes you need to express your ideas, you can either speak or write. That means you are using what you learned from reading. The same as Chinese, the more you read, the better you can write. If you want to remember something, you should read again and again. So from now on, you’d better do more reading. It’s a good way to learn English well.

26．Some students think it difficult to learn English well because _________.

A．they don’t work hard B．they are afraid of English

C．they don’t find the right way D．they aren’t clever

27．Reading is helpful to ________.

A．speaking B．listening C．writing D．A．B & C

28．The writer thinks ________ is a good way to learn English well.

A．the better you write B．doing more reading

（B）

American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select their subjects and teachers first.

     Selecting is very important for your marks in America. So at the first term, don't select too many subjects, or you'll feel very nervous and tired. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, timetables, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called "killer" by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him, because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades

     There is another thing after you select the subjects and the teachers. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each one is about$30-50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.

     In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages you to ask questions or show your own opinions. They don't usually ask you to sit well. Instead, they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like.

29. What does the underlined word "select" mean in the first paragrah?

A. Choose.           B. Like.          C. Treat.            D. Take.

30. According to the text, American students             .

A. don't have to ask for teaching plans  

B. don't have to choose teachers

C. would like to choose strict(严格的) teachers

D. usually buy some used textbooks in order to save money

31. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?

A. Students won't choose the teacher who leaves too much homework.

B. Students won't choose the teacher who leaves too many exams.

C. Students will choose the teacher who is called "killer".

D. Students won't choose the teacher who gives too low marks.

(C)    

 My grandfather was a teacher. He was the head teacher of a school for boys between the ages of thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle(温柔的)man at heart, because when I was young, he gave me presents, and sat me on his knees(膝盖), and told me stories. But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.

     At school, when he walked into a room full of noisy boys, there was silence(安静)at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes, that boy went red in the face, and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work, the work that was not the best that boy could do, my grandfather picked up the boy's work and threw it across the room, shouting,” Do it all again, and bring it back first thing in the morning!” If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the work, he had to do it again, and again, and yet again. My grandfather never forgot. He was a very different man at school, from the man I saw day by day in his own home.
