第二部分： 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source ot possible
failure and public humiliation. When children are little we make them read aloud, before the
teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they
means that when they don't know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of
everyone. After having taught fifth- grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid
them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day soon after school had started, I said to them,
reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of
books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions
to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to
enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that's enough for me. Also I’m not going to ask you what
words mean.
The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to
us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I
had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, Mr Holt, do you reallymean
that?
During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk, From a
glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was.I said to myself,
went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick , in edition with woodcuts.I
said,
those parts and go on to the next good part.
This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is,an exciting, joyous adventure.
Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go
on to something else. How different is our mean- spirited,picky insistence that every child get
every last little scrap of

Graphs can be a very useful tool for conveying information, especially numbers, percentage,
and other data. A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret. That can be a lot mort
pages and pages explaining the data.
Graphs can seem frightening, but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story. The graph has a
title, a main idea, and supporting details. You can use your active reading skills to analyze and
understand graphs just like any other text. .
Most graphs have a few basic parts: a caption or introduction paragraph, a title, a legend or
key, and labeled axes. An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret
the data. Captions will usually tell you where the data came from (for example, a scientific study
of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005). Captions usually summarize the author's main point
as well .The title is very important. It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of
information is being shown. A legend, also called a key, is a guide to the symbols and colors
used ... the graph. Many graphs, including bar graphs and line graphs, have two axes that form a
comer. Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph. Each axis will always have
a label. The label tells you what each axis measures.
Bar Graphs
A bar graph has two axes and uses bars
to show
amounts. In Graph 1 , we see that the x-axis
shows grades
that students earned, and the y-axis shows
how many
students earned each grade. You can see that
6 students
earned an A because the bar for A stretches
up to 6 on the
vertical measurement. There is a lot of
information we can
get from a simple graph like this (See Graph 1).
Line Graphs
A line graph looks similar to a bar graph, but
instead of bars, it plots points and connects them with a
line. It has the same parts as a bar graph - two labeled
axes - and can be read the same way. To read a line
graph, it's important to focus on the points of
intersection rather than the line segments between the
points. This type of graph is most commonly used to
show how something changes over time. Here is a graph
that charts how far a bird flies during the first five days
of its spring migration (See Graph 2).

The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days, the unit ot measurement lor the y-axis is
kilometers. Thus we can see that, on the first day, the pipit flew 20 kilometers. The line segment
goes up between Day 1 and Day 2, which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2. If the line
segment angled down, as between Day 4 and Day 5, it would mean that the bird flew fewer
kilometers than the day before. This line graph is a quick, visual way to tell the reader about the
bird's migration.
Pie Graphs
A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie. The circle is
divided into sections, and each section represents a fraction
of the data. The graph is commonly used to show
percentages; the whole pie represents 100 percent, so each
piece is a fraction of the whole.
A pie graph might include a legend, or it might use
icons or labels within each slice. This pie graph shows one
month ' s expenses (See Graph 3).
Food $$25
Movies $$ 12 Clothing $$36
Savings $$20 Books $$7
