| 阅读理解。 | Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven.
His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes.
Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in
Italy and studying local specialties (地方特色菜) in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known
for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends.
Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking.
Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like make drinks out of dining-
hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after
classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went
beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.
Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says
Lieberman"s charisma is key. "Food TV isn"t about food anymore," says Flay. "It"s about your personality
(个性) and finding a way to keep people"s eyeballs on your show."
But Lieberman isn"t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new how,
Lieberman was back in his won small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company (航空公司) was
looking for some one to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights,

D. until | | 阅读理解。 | Jim suffered heart problems. In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was
drawing to a close.
When his heart problems led to operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was
expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim was rushed back to operation,
but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day before
his 48th birthday.
Dr. Bruce Smoller, a psychologist (心理学家), had had many conversations with him, and the more
he learned, the stranger he realized Jim"s case was. When Jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered
a heart attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework,
promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jim returned his
father had died. Jim"s father was 48.
"I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father," Dr. Smoller says."He felt that if he had not asked
him to look at his homework, his father would have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea. The operation
was the trial (判决) he had expected for forty years." Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live to
the age of 48.
Jim"s case shows the powerful role that attitude (态度) plays in physical health, and that childhood
experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct
than Jim"s, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as
cancer, heart disease and mental illness. | | 1. Jim was sent back to operation because _____. | A. his heart didn"t work well
B. he expected a full recovery
C. his life was drawing to a close
D. the first one wasn"t well performed | | 2. What made Dr. Smoller feel strange about Jim"s case? | A. Jim died at a young age.
B. Jim died on the operating table.
C. Both Jim and his father died of the same disease.
D. Jim"s death is closely connected with his father"s. | | 3. From Smoller"s words, we can infer that ______. | A. Jim"s father cared little about his study
B. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father
C. Jim thought he would be punished some day
D. Smoller believed Jim wouldn"t live to the age of 48 | |
4. Which of the following could have strong effect on one"s physical health according to the text.?
a. One"s genes.
b. One"s life in childhood.
c. One"s physical education.
d. The date of one"s birthday.
e. The opinions one has about something. | A. a, b, d

C. a, c, e
D. b, c, d | | 阅读理解。 | I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish,
I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for
good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes-anything to enrich my thought and
make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that
a person could not have a"complicated (复杂的) idea" until he had read at least two thousand books, I
heard the words without recognizing either its irony (嘲讽) or its very complicated truth. I merely
determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title
I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included
only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?)
There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an
English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the"hundred most important books
of Western Civilization.""More than anything else in my life, " the professor told the reporter with finality,"
these books have made me all that I am." That was the kind of words I couldn"t ignore (忽视). I kept the
list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood.
While reading Plato"s The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book
to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信) of
a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by me time I reached the last word, pleased, I
persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list. | | 1. On heating the teacher"s suggestion of reading, the writer thought ______. | A. one must read as many books as possible
B. a student should not have a complicated idea
C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand books
D. students ought to make a list of the books they had read | | 2. While at high school, the writer ______. | A. had plans for reading
B. learned to educate himself
C. only read books over 100 pages
D. read only one book several times | | 3. The underlined phrase "with finality" probably means _____. | A. firmly
B. clearly
C. proudly
D. pleasantly | | 4. The writer"s purpose in mentioning The Republic is to _____. | A. explain why it was included in the list
B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list
C. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand
D. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word | | 5. The writer provides two book lists to ______. | A. show how he developed his point of view
B. tell his reading experience at high school
C. introduce the two persons" reading methods
D. explain that he read many books at high school | | 完形填空。 | Roberta appeared on the stage. She took a deep breath and began to 1 . Now she was Portia,

So Roberta had made an appointment (预约) with the head of the Drama Club. She had read the play

part, 16 the lines by repeating them over and over. It wasn"t hard; she 17 every minute of it.
Every time she spoke the words, she had a new 18 of the lines, as if Shakespeare had written Portia
on many levels.
