A lot of teachers hate doodlers(乱写乱画的人)during classes．“Pay attention!” Teachers will often warn doodling students，sure that they must be daydreaming．
However, according to a recent study, doodling while lis

tening to a boring lecture helps concentrate the attention：
Andrade，a psychology professor in England asked participants to listen to a boring lecture． Half the participants were told to color in squares and circles freely on a piece of paper while listening to the lecture. The other half weren’t given a task．After it was over, the participants were asked to retell the lecture．
Those given the doodling task(color in squares and circles)remembered 29 percent more information than the non-doodlers．Andrade said．
“If someone is doin

g a boring task，like listening to a dull conversation，they may start daydream，”said Professor Andrade．
“Daydreaming distracts(使分心)them from the task，resulting in poorer performance．A simple task，like doodling，can stop them from daydreaming without affecting their performance at the task，”he said．
So the next time you’re doodling during a class，and you hear “pay attention”，you can tell the teacher with confidence that you’ve been paying attention to every word．
66．The passage mainly tells us ．
A．doodling will be banned in classes B. teachers are against doodling

doodling call lead to daydream

A Beautiful Dress
My neighbor’s eight-year-old daughter used to live in the countryside, her native place. Recently her parents   51  her to town to live with them. Wild and uneducated, she would use   52  words when she was angry. Sometimes she went so far as to   53  on the ground, to the   54  of all people around. Her parents tried to   55  her by beating and kicking. However, she became more   56 . Finally they became thoroughly   57  with her.
One day their next-door   58 , a retired teacher, gave the girl a snow-white dress, which was very   59 . It immediately caught the girl’s   60  and made them shine brightly.
The girl put on the dress and became quite a   61  person. She no longer acted rudely or hit others. She   62  seldom rolled on the floor. She knew running wild was not   63  for her in a beautiful dress. Since then, the girl had been   64 , neat, and lovely.
The story set me   65  a lot. Perhaps everyone has a beautiful dress   66  somewhere in his or her heart. Only some people are not aware of it,   67  it or take no notice of it.   68  is a powerful force or weapon — that’s something   69  by many of us. It can arouse fine qualities that humans are   70  with but have so far hidden somewhere. It has a soul-shaking influence that is indeed unmatched.

第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和0）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
It’s always awkward when you meet someone from a different country．You never know whether to shake hands, bow or even whether to kiss on the cheek．But what if you were a dog?
If you are a dog owner, you must be familiar with how your dog says hello to you．Seconds after you arrive home, your dog jumps up on you．You come face to face with a tail-wagging, wildly excited ball of fur that can’t get enough of you．If you’re not happy with that, it will shower you with wet “kisses” perhaps ruining your best shirt．
Like humans, dogs have five senses: smell, touch, sight, hearing and taste．
Unlike humans, dogs use smell rather than sight to identify others around them．A dog’s sense of smell is thousands of times better than that of humans．Your dog can’t just tell what a human being smells like, but it can also tell the difference between different members of its human family by their smell．
They also greet each other this way, not eye to eye, but nose to nose．
To be precise, when they first meet each other, they start with a quick sniff of each other’s noses．Then they will go side to side, working their way towards the back end．
Dogs smell everything they can during a walk．They sniff grass, bushes, trees and signposts．By doing this, dogs know not only what they are looking at, but which other neighborhood dogs have been around lately．
So next time you see your dog sniffing the wrong end of another dog, don’t regard it as a bad habit．They are greeting each other．
56．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．It tells readers how to take good care of dogs．
B．It tells readers what to do to make dogs happy．
C．It tells readers how dogs greet others．
D．It tells readers what dogs do to amuse owners．
57．The phrase “shower you with” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means ______．
A．help you take a bath with
B．frighten you with
C．show you his anger by using
D．cover you with
58．The 2nd paragraph is written mainly to tell readers ____．
A．how dogs greet their owner
B．that dogs like jumping up on people
C．that dogs enjoy ruining their owners" shirt
D．how dogs show their love
59．How does a dog say hello to another one?
A．By sight． B．By both sight and smell．
C．By smell． D．By sight and touch．
60．Which of the following statements is wrong?
A．By sniffing, dogs can tell any other dog that has been around lately．
B．It’s a good habit for a dog to sniff the wrong end of another one．
C．Two strange dogs will begin with a quick sniff of the each other’s noses．
D．A dog’s sense of sight is thousands of times better than that of humans．

第二部分．阅读理解（共25小题。第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）
第一节     阅读下面五篇短文，从每题后所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案。
Many times my friend June would say, “If I ever get rich, I’m getting a completely new wardrobe and moving into a bigger apartment.” I thought of her words and her chances of being rich are about as good as mine. But, to everyone’s surprise, a few years ago June did come into a large inheritance(遗产).
At first June said very little about the money. As the initial(最初的)shock disappeared, she became excited. June is a great believer in making lists, so I wasn’t surprised to find her writing down all the ways she would spend her new wealth.
As time went on, what had been midway down the column was now at the top. At last, I said to her, “You know, it isn’t necessary to spend all your inheritance at once. Take some time; think about it.” “I know, I know,” she answered with a little bit anger.
Then one morning June called. “I’ve decided how I want to use my new inheritance. I want to see what you think,” she said. This wasn’t something I looked forward to, but we had been friends so long.
As we sat, June spread a sheet of paper on the table. To my great surprise, she had written only two words: Charities(慈善), and Grandchildren---in that order. Though I had vowed（发誓）to keep quiet, I couldn’t keep from asking how she came to this decision.
“Well,” she said, “I took your advice and thought about it.” She added, “Helping others means a lot to me, so I’m hoping this gift will help people in need.”
I interrupted. “But what about this big apartment you most hope to have?”
“At first it was hard, but it doesn’t seem as important any more,” she answered with a smile.
Then June moved her hand, and I could see a few words written in tiny letters at the bottom of the page. After having a look at the small print, I burst into laughter. June had written: AND one new wardrobe.
41.  From the passage we can learn that the writer ____________.
A. was richer than her friend June                              B. was no richer than her friend June
C. was poorer than her friend June                             D. was interested in money as June
42.  After making a list of how to deal with her inheritance, June ___________.
A. didn’t change it at all                                           B. had a quarrel with the writer
C. asked the writer for advice                                    D. often made some changes of it
43.  When June called the writer to talk about her new decision, the writer ___________.
A. felt that June would do something meaningful
B. refused at first, but changed her mind later
C. was eager to learn more about the new list
D. had decided not to make any comments on June’s list
44.  We can learn from the text that ______________.
A. helping others is more important than buying a bigger apartment
B. friendship doesn’t mean accepting the shortcomings of a friend
C. giving away one’s wealth needs time and courage
D. money can’t bring people real and lasting happiness
