A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features(特定 )as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there  in and out glancing at one piece reading another article all the way through , reading just a few paragraphs of the next.A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(時(shí)事性 ) , its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暫的  ) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper . For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently,  which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands  skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.

第二節(jié)（共5小題，每題2分，滿分10分）
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下框的A-F選項(xiàng)中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)為多余項(xiàng)。

A．How a good teacher acts in class

B．Acting: natural expression of fixed words and movements

C．Teaching: a student-centered creative process

D．Similarities between teaching and acting

E. Differences between teaching and acting
F. A good teacher, not necessarily a good actor
61. ____________________________
To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear.
62. ____________________________
Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit unmoved before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, his hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feeling. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note if his voice always changes according to what he is talking about.
63. ____________________________
The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, and even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.
64. ____________________________
A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
65. ____________________________
As a good teacher presently, you must take your audience as your friends, take care of them, help them and give them enough freedom and space. I have known many teachers who are fine actors in class but are unable to take part in a stage play because their brains can’t keep discipline: they cannot keep strictly to what another has written.

I love spending weekends with my grandparents. I felt especially welcome and    36    in Grany’s small kitchen. It was there that we had conversations and Grany always seemed to include a bit of    37    with every recipe she prepared.
I remember one Saturday morning    38   . After breakfast I asked Grany, “What kind of soup are you making today?” “Vegetable beef,” she answered, “And you can help by chopping some carrots and celery.” As I slowly peeled carrots, I    39   , “I’ve got to give an oral work report next week and I’m    40   .”
Grany looked at me and said, “Most people are afraid of    41    speaking. But remember, the only thing you have to fear is fear    42   .”
“But I don’t like standing up in front of everybody.    43    I forget what I’m going to say?”
“Have you prepared    44   ?” asked Grany.
“Well, no. That would be a lot of    45    work.”
“But do you like my soup?” she asked. Soup? I wondered. I thought we were talking about my life.
“I love your soup, Grany.” I said.
“Well, you know, a lot of people don’t    46    homemade soup these days. They say it’s too much trouble. First you have to cook a nice broth（肉湯）and then chop all the vegetables into bite-size pieces.”
“But I don’t    47    a little trouble,” she said. “It adds variety and flavor to my soup and to my life. My soup would be    48    bland（淡而無味的）without the vegetables, and so would my life if it didn’t have the little    49   .”
After pausing she added, “Besides, you have to remember God knows exactly    50    he’s cooking up in your life. You’ve got to trust him with the recipe.” She smiled and then walked to the sink to start washing the dishes.
While I help Grany  51  , I thought as well what she had said. I still had a few days to  52    my oral report.
That Saturday, Grany gave me food for thought as well as a bowl of her homemade soup. Every spoonful of Grany’s masterpiece was    53    with delicious bits of meat and vegetables. As I enjoyed the meal with my grandparents,    54    my problems didn’t seem quite so big any more. I was determined to work on them. Grany had said hard work    55   . Maybe I too could turn a little trouble into something as special as Grany’s homemade soup.

US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson will visit China's largest lake next week on a trip that will highlight global environmental challenges.
Paulson will hold talks in Beijing with President Hu Jintao that will focus on the Strategic（戰(zhàn)略）Economic Dialogue, high-level discussions launched last year in an effort to deal with economic tensions between the US and China.
"This trip is part of an ongoing process to strengthen our strategic economic relationship to address long-term issues such as working with China to rebalance its growth and increase the flexibility(彈性) of its currency(貨幣) and also to deal with short-term issues as they arise." Paulson said Tuesday in announcing the trip.
Paulson will begin the trip with a visit July 30 to Qinghai Lake, the largest lake in the country and an example of some of the environmental challenges facing China as it struggles to deal with pollution.
"The only way to make progress on climate change is to engage all the large economies, developed and developing, to work toward embracing cleaner technology and reducing giving off gas." Paulson said. "What's happening with the environment in the middle of China not only affects the local climate and economy but also the global climate and economy."
Paulson will meet on July 31 in Beijing with Hu and Vice Premier Wu Yi, who is leading the Chinese side in the strategic dialogue talks.
The administration is coming under pressure from Congress to show results from these discussions, particularly in the area of currency values. American manufacturers think that the yuan is undervalued by as much as 40 percent, which makes Chinese products cheaper for US consumers but makes it more difficult for US products to be sold in China.
The first strategic dialogue session was held in Beijing last December with a follow-up meeting in Washington in May. The two countries have promised to meet twice a year with the next session to take place in China later this year. An exact date has not yet been announced.
The Treasury Department said in a statement announcing the trip that Paulson in his meetings with Chinese leaders would raise issues of concern to Congress as well as follow up on issues that were regarded as most important items at the May meeting of the strategic dialogue.

The Pathfinder
When we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again.
After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night.
We found him just in time.
This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, had he made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path.
Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of observation. A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes that the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he may be turned around many times, but he is seldom lost.
There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the “l(fā)ost” situation. A rainstorm or sudden blizzard may catch him without a compass（指南針）in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.
When this happens, the normal first reaction（反應(yīng)）is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn’t show up. This false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.
The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He’ll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.
1 The author suggested that if the man had not been found, he would have __________.
A. been shot by a gun                B. become confused
C. been attacked by wild animals        D. been in great danger
2. According to the passage, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning, he would __________.
A. worry about being laughed at  
B. push himself to find his way out
C. feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friends
D. be concerned about being frightened by wild animals
3. When a person tries to find his way in the woods, __________ is the most important 
A. intelligence  B. observation    C. direction    D. chance
4. The author tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who __________.  
A. go into the woods by themselves
B. don’t know how to signal for help properly
C. are frightened when they think they are lost
D. notice everything when stepping from the highway

Have you seen Jurassic Park? In this film, scientists use DNA kept for tens of millions of years to clone dinosaurs. They find trouble, however, when they realize that the cloned creatures are smarter and more dangerous than expected. That’s nothing more than a fiction.
But could we really clone endangered animals?
    To date, the most successful attempt to do so was the cloning of a gaur, a rare ox-like animal from southeast Asia. Scientists used a cow to bring the cloned baby gaur, named Noah. Two days after birth, however, Noah died from a common bacterial infection. Other endangered species that may be cloned include the African bongo antelope (邦戈羚羊), the Sumatran tiger, the cheetah (獵豹), and the giant panda.     Next, could we really clone extinct animals?
In theory? Yes. To do this, you need a well-kept source of DNA from the extinct animals such as wool mammoth (毛象), Tasmanian tiger, or even dinosaur, and a closely related species, still living, which could serve as a surrogate mother.
In reality? Probably not. On the one hand, it’s not likely that extinct animals’ DNA could survive undamaged for such a long time. Cloning extinct animals as wool mammoth, Tasmanian tiger, or dinosaur is much more difficult due to the lack of properly well-preserved DNA. On the other hand, for example, a gaur can have a cow as a surrogate mother, definitely not a monkey. But what about an extinct animals as unique as the panda? What species could possibly serve as a surrogate mother?
Cloning presents many exciting possibilities. However, even if extinct animals are brought back, they could not survive in today’s world. Not only do most extinct animals have no habitat to love in, but the other plants and animals they depended on for food may also be gone as well.
1. It can be learned from the text that ________.
A. scientists have cloned the African bongo antelope
B. both the cheetah and the giant panda live in Asia
C. the gaur lives in Asia and is endangered 
D. the gaur is an extinct species
2. The underlined words “a surrogate mother” probably refer to a female who -----
A. contributes its eggs to another female  B. gives birth to a baby for another female
C. gives birth to a baby of its own        D. cannot give birth to a baby
3. The difficulty in cloning an extinct species is the lack of ______.
A. both the well-preserved DNA and plants to live on
B. both the habitat to live in and the well-preserved DNA
C. both habitat to live in and plants to live on
D. both the well-preserved DNA and a surrogate mother
4. In the author’s opinion, it is possible that ______.
A. some extinct species may be cloned, but not survive
B. extinct species may be cloned and easily survive
C. a gaur can have a monkey as a surrogate mother
D. all the extinct species may be cloned
5．Today , have scientists  cloned  dinosaus?
A .Yes    B .No    C .A lot  D.Only one.

三． 閱讀理解（30分）
Einstein, a great scientist of the age, was almost as strange as his Theory of Relativity.
Once, while riding a street car in Berlin, he told the conductor that he had not given him the right change. The conductor counted the change again and found it to be correct, so he handed it to Einstein, saying, “The trouble with you is that you don’t know your figures.”
Einstein said that there were only twelve people living who understood his Theory of Relativity although a good many books had been written to explain it.
He had nothing but contempt(蔑視) for the things most people set their hearts on --- for fame and riches(財(cái)富) and luxury(奢華).
He didn’t want money or praise. He made his own happiness out of such simple things as his work and playing the violin and sailing his boat. Einstein’s violin brought him more joy than anything else in life. He said that he often thought in music.
1．The conductor thought Einstein _____ ．
A． wasn’t good at maths          B．had good memory  
C． was either mad or strange        D．liked to make trouble
2．Einstein meant that many people _____ ．
A.  knew his Theory of Relativity well because they could explain it    
B．had written to have grasped his theory correctly 
C．pretended to have grasped his abstract theory  
D．a(chǎn)dmired him very much
3．Which of the following statements is true?
A.  Einstein care little for fame or wealth.
B.  Einstein had nothing but enough fame and riches and luxury.
C.  Einstein was eager for the things most people set their hearts to.
D.  In the eyes of Einstein, most people had a strong wish to publish book on the theory.
