17．If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles．He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out．
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day，few people in the United States will give him a passing thought．It's nothing personal．Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes．
But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius．In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China．
In the past two decades，the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities．More recently，the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80countries．These schools teach both Chinese language and culture．The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art，history and philosophy．Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy．Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese．So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States．Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers．
So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well．
Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West．
As for the old thinker，he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West，even if his birthday is．

25．The opening paragraph is mainly intended toB
A．provide some key facts about Confucius
B．a(chǎn)ttract the readers'interest in the subject
C．show great respect for the ancient thinker
D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
26．We can learn from Paragraph 4that American studentsC
A．fight for a chance to learn Chinese
B．try to get high scores in Chinese exams
C．have a great interest in studying Chinese
D．take an active part in Chinese competitions
27．What is the best title for the passage？B
A．Forgotten Wisdom in America
B．Old Thinker with a Big Future
C．Chinese Culture for Westerners
D．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
28．The passage is likely to appear inA．
A．a(chǎn) newspaper
B．a(chǎn) history paper
C．a(chǎn) biography
D．a(chǎn) philosophy textbook．

分析 本文是一篇新聞報道．本文主要講述了外國人對中國文化的興趣越來越濃，對于孔子的思想也越來越感興趣這一社會現(xiàn)象．孔子思想已經(jīng)深入西方，成為西方人深入了解中國人的一座橋梁．美國學(xué)生對漢語產(chǎn)生了濃厚興趣，這就需要更多的老師傳播孔子思想和中國文化．

解答 BCBA
25 B．作者意圖題．根據(jù)文章第一段"If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles．He'd need a fan or a b wind to help him put them out．"可知文章開篇做了一個有趣的設(shè)想，假如孔子活到現(xiàn)在，給他過生日，需用扇子或大風幫他熄滅生日蛋糕上的蠟燭，目的是吸引讀者，引起讀者興趣．引起本文要討論的真正話題，故答案B正確．
26 C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段"Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West．"說明中國對每個人有很強的吸引力，很多美國人對中國都很感興趣，故答案C正確．
27 B．主旨大意題．本文主要講述的正是中國越來越引起世界的關(guān)注，同樣，中國的文化也引起了世界人民的興趣，很多人都開始了解中國的文化，這給孔子這位中國的思想家?guī)砹诵律�，故答案B正確．
28 A．推理判斷題．本文主要講述了外國人對中國文化的興趣越來越濃，對于孔子的思想也越來越感興趣這一社會現(xiàn)象，那么很有可能是新聞報道的內(nèi)容，文章新穎有時效性，所以選C．A項指傳記，詳細描述人物的生平；B項指歷史論文，用詞要術(shù)語化；D項指哲學(xué)課本，應(yīng)著重哲學(xué)概念和思想．故答案A正確．

點評 一、速讀全文，了解大意知主題．
　　閱讀能力一般指閱讀速度和理解能力兩個方面．閱讀速度是閱讀最基本的能力．考生必須在十分有限的時間內(nèi)運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀，搜尋關(guān)鍵詞、主題句，捕捉時空、順序、情節(jié)、人物、觀點，并且理清文章脈絡(luò)，把握語篇實質(zhì)．
二、看題干，帶著問題讀文章．
　　首先要掌握問題的類型，客觀信息題可以從文章中直接找到答案；而主觀判斷題考查的是對文章的感情基調(diào)等，這類題必須經(jīng)過對作者的態(tài)度、意圖以及對整篇文章進行深一層的推理等．其次，了解試題題干以及各個選項所包含的信息，然后有針對性地對文章進行掃讀，對有關(guān)信息進行快速定位．此法加強了閱讀的針對性，提高了做題的準確率．
　　三、邏輯推理，做好深層理解題．
　　在實際閱讀中，有時作者并未把意圖說出來，閱讀者要根據(jù)字面意思，通過語篇邏輯關(guān)系，研究細節(jié)的暗示，推敲作者的態(tài)度，理解文章的寓義．要求讀者對文字的表面信息進行分析、挖掘和邏輯推理，不能就事論事，以偏概全．推理題在提問中常用的詞有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等．
　　四、猜詞悟義，掃除閱讀攔路虎．
　　猜詞是應(yīng)用英語的重要能力．它不但需要準確無誤地理解上下文，而且要有較大的泛讀量，掌握或認識較多的課外詞匯．我們要學(xué)會"順藤摸瓜"，通過構(gòu)詞，語法，定義，同位，對比，因果，常識，上下文等線索確定詞義．

2．A new study has found that social media could be affecting the sleep of young adults．
The study is a project of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine．They found that young people who often use social media are more likely to suffer from sleep disorder than those who use social media less．The researchers say doctors should ask young adults about their use of social media when treating sleeping issues．
"This is one of the first pieces of evidence that social media use really can influence your sleep，"said Jessica C．Levenson．She was the lead author of a report on the study．
The researchers set out to examine the connection between social media use and sleep among young adults．Levenson noted that these young adults are possibly the first"generation to grow up with social media．"
The researchers wanted to find out how often young people used social media sites like Facebook，Twitter，and Tumblr．For the study，they gave questionnaires to nearly 1，800adults，aged 19to 32．On average，members of the study group used social media sites one hour a day．They also"visited various social media 30times per week．"
Thirty percent of the study's participants reported having serious problems with sleeping．Those people who used social media a lot were three times more likely to have a sleep disorder．And those who spent the most time on social media were twice as likely to suffer from sleep disturbances．
Levenson said the number of times a person visits media is a better predictor of sleep problems than overall time spent on social media．If this is true，she adds，then practices that stop such behaviors may be most effective．

32．What's the main idea of the text？C
A．The search focuses on social media．
B．The researchers manage to handle sleep problem．
C．Social media affects sleep．
D．Doctors treat young patients．
33．When treating sleep problems，doctors are advised toB．
A．offer some advice about giving up social media．
B．a(chǎn)sk the young patients about their use of social media．
C．give young adults some medicine．
D．a(chǎn)sk about the patients'living conditions．
34．How did the researchers mainly carry out the study？B
A．By doing online research．
B．By asking participants to fill in questionnaires．
C．By collecting published data．
D．By giving an example．
35．What can be inferred from the text？D
A．men are more likely to suffer from a sleep disorder than women．
B．People often using social media are less likely to have a sleep disorder．
C．Using computers less helps avoid sleep problems completely．
D．Sleep problems can be determined by the times of a person visiting social media．

10．At Blossom End Railroad Station，22-year-old Stanley Vine sat，waiting for his new employer．The surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy landscape of war-torn France．After four horrible years as a solider in Europe，Stanley returned to England in February 1946．Armed now with some savings and with no possibility of finding a job in England，he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada．Two months later he was on his way．
Stanley rose to his feet，trying to make the most of his five foot and four inches frame．The farmer，Alphonse Lapine，shook his head，"You're a skinny thing．"On the way to his dairy farm，Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids．"Money is tight．You'll get up at dawn for milking，and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again．Ten dollars a week．Sundays off．"Stanley nodded．He had never been on a farm before，but he took the job．
From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family．They made fun of the way he dressed and talked．He could do nothing right．The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper，criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake．The oldest son，13-year-old Armand，constantly played tricks on him．But Stanley never responded．
Stanley never became part of the Lapine family．After work，they ignored him．He spent his nights alone in a tiny bedroom．However，each evening before going to bed，he lovingly cared for the farmer's horses．On Saturday nights he hiked into the nearest town and wandered the streets or enjoyed a restaurant meal before returning to the farm．
Early one November morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared，after working for only six months．The railway station master，when questioned later that week，said he had not seen him．In fact no one in the community ever heard of him again．That is，until one evening，almost 20 years later，when Armand opened an American sports magazine and came across a shocking headline，"Millionaire jockey，Stanley Vine，ex-British soldier and 5-time horse riding champion，began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada．"

56．Stanley decided to go to Canada becauseC．
A．he wanted to escape from war-torn France
B．he wanted to serve in the Canadian army
C．he couldn't find a job in England
D．he loved working as a farmhand
57．We can know from the passage thatD．
A．Stanley joined the French army when he was 18 years old
B．on the farm Stanley had to milk the cows 14 times a week
C．the Lapine family were rich but cruel to Stanley
D．Stanley read about the job offer in a newspaper
58．What did Stanley like doing after work each day？B
A．Hiking to different towns．
B．Caring for the farmer's horses．
C．Wandering around the farm alone．
D．Preparing meals on the farm．
59．Why was Armand so astonished when he read about Stanley in the magazine？D
A．He didn't know Stanley had been a British soldier．
B．He had no idea Stanley had always been a wealthy man．
C．He didn't know his father paid Stanley so little money．
D．He didn't expect Stanley to become such a success．
