Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing. turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it. Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing bines both.” Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it. People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home. BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.21. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph? A. To explain what they are. B. To introduce BookCrossing. C. To stress the importance of reading. D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.22. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The book. B. An adventure. C. A public place. D. The identification number.23. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it? A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B. Keep it safe in his bookcase. C. Pass it on to another reader. D. Mail it back to its owner.24. What is the best title for the text? A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B. Electronic Books: A new Trend C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D. A Website Links People through BooksB When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier. These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or munity gained petence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.” Vaillants study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers pared the mens mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems. The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working-at any age-is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and petence-the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward mon goals. The most petent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isnt everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love ones work.”25. What do we know about John? A. He enjoyed his career and marriage. B. He had few childhood playmates. C. He received little love from his family. D. He was envied by others in his childhood.26. Vaillants words in Paragraph 2 serve as _. A. a description of personal values and social values B. an analysis of how work was related to petence C. an example for parents expectations of their children D. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men27. Vaillants team obtained their findings by _. A. recording the boys effort in school B. evaluating the mens mental health C. paring different sets of scores D. measuring the mens problem solving ability28. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. petent adults know more about love than work. B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life. C. Love brings more joy to people than work does. D. Independence is the key to ones success.C One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters. “Is it good?” I asked her. “Yeah,” she answered. “Theres one I really like and youll like it, too.” I leaned forward. “Patty Poem,” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began: She never puts her toys away, Just leaves them scatteredwhere they lay, 散乱的 The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly: When she grows and gathers poise, 稳重 Ill miss her harum-scarum noise, 莽撞的 And look in vain for scattered toys. 徒劳地 And Ill be sad. A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock. “Its you, honey,” My mother said sadly. To my mother, the poem revealed a parents affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying. “Whats wrong?” my mother asked. “Oh Mama,” I cried. “I dont want to grow up ever!” She smiled. “Honey, its okay. Youre not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, Ill still love you, okay?” “Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a persons world. I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.29. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again? A. It was a thick enough book. B. Something on its cover caught her eye. C. Her mother was reading it with interest. D. It has a meaningful title.30. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt _ at first. A. sad B. excited C. horrified D. confused31. The writers mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because_. A. it reflected her own childhood B. it was written in simple language C. it was posed by a famous poet D. it gave her a hint of what would happen32. It can be concluded from the passage that “Patty Poem” leads the writer to _. A. discover the power of poetry B. recognize her love for puzzles C. find her eagerness to grow up D. experience great homesicknessD A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good nights sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod offif it is milked from a cow at night. Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety. The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food. Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer. While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night. Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax. Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists remending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.33. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_. A. started sleep more easily B. were more anxious C. were less active D. woke up later34. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text? A. Its been tested on mice for ten years B. It can make people more energetic C. It exists in milk in great amount D. Its used in sleeping drugs35.How does the author support the theme of the text? A.

It normally occurs every four years, always on an even-numbered year. The extra day is added to our shortest month. That is the second month of the year, which in non-leap years has 28 days, two fewer than any other month. 36 We also call Leap year the bissextile year (闰年). 37 In our calendar system there is a need for a leap year because the solar year (the time it takes the earth to go around the sun once）is actually slightly more than 365 days long. That extra dayFeb 29 every four yearshelps correct the difference between our calendar and the solar calendar.It is said that Leap year was first made part of the calendar by the ancient Roman leader Julius Caesar. His astronomers had calculated the length of the solar year to be 365 days and six hours. So Caesar declared that an extra day be added to the calendar. 38 However, Caesars adjustment was not pletely accurate because his astronomers year exceeded the true solar year by eleven minutes and fourteen seconds. By 1582, a difference of ten days had developed between the calendar year and the true solar year. To correct this error, Pope Gregory XIII ruled that every fourth year would continue to be a leap year except for century years that could not be divided evenly by 400. By this system, century years such as 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but the year xx was a leap year. 39 People born on Feb 29 celebrate their growing up a little differently from the rest of us. 40 But if they go strictly by the calendar, they have only one-fourth as many birthday celebrations as most people.A. They acknowledge that they get older each year.B. When you see Feb 29 on a calendar, you know that year is a leap year.C. This is its formal, or scientific title.D. This may seem plicated, but it works.E. This is done every four years.F. The leap year was introduced in the Julian calendar in 46 BC.G. In a leap year, the extra day is added to the second month, giving it 29 instead of the usual 28 days第三节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Years ago, a critical event occurred in my life that would change it forever.
