All in all they can be categorised into six major classes, namely early childhood picture books, traditional literature, fiction, nonfiction, biography and poetry.Children have unique taste and interest. Although Harry Potter may be an alltime favourite book for children all over the globe，they prefer funny books to fairy tales when it es to bedtime. The top three favourite books in bedtime stories are The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler，The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Erie Carle and The BFG by Roald Dahl.There are many writers who popularized the childrens literature or childrens books through their brilliant works. John Amos enius is the author of Orbis Pictus which is considered to be the first picture book specifically for children. Charles Perrault is believed to be the one who laid the foundations of fairy tales. Perraults stories include Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and so on. Hans Christian Anderson is best known for his fairy tales, such as The Snow Queen, The Little Mermaid and The Emperors New Clothes.Many childrens books have been made into feature films and are equally successful in this medium, like Alice in Wonderland, the BFG series and the Harry Porter series. These series collected a huge amount of money when released worldwide in cinema halls. All these movies based on popular childrens books are not only popular among children but also popular among adult audiences.Childrens books are in demand all over the world and more and more writers and authors are ing up with some new books. The potential market is immense because children are more into reading in this era than previous and they are enjoying it to the fullest.语篇解读：本文介绍了儿童图书的分类、著名儿童作家及其作品，其中有些作品已经被改编成了电影。在体裁上，本文属于说明文的范畴，作者旨在让读者了解这方面的知识。26Before going to sleep children like to enjoy_.Afairy tales Bnonfiction Cfunny books Dtraditional literature解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“they prefer funny books to fairy tales when it es to bedtime”可知，孩子们在睡觉前喜欢读有趣的书。答案：C27All the following books are fairy tales EXCEPT_.AThe Snow Queen BThe Gruffalo CLittle Red Riding Hood DCinderella解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知The Snow Queen是童话(fairy tale)；根据第三段第三句及第四句可知Little Red Riding Hood和Cinderella也都是童话；由第二段中的“they prefer funny books to.The top three favourite books in bedtime stories are The Gruffalo.”可知B项不是童话。答案：B28Which of the following is NOT true about the films based on childrens books?AAdults seem not to like them at all. BThey bring in a lot of money. CThey are very popular with children. DThey are shown around the world.解析：判断是非题。文章第四段中交代了很多儿童书被改编成了电影，而根据该段最后一句“All these movies based on popular childrens books are not only popular among children but also popular among adult audiences”可知，成人也喜欢这些电影。答案：A29It can be inferred from the last paragraph that_.Amore famous books would be published in futureBchildren would like to read childrens books moreCmore people are eager to be writers and authorsDthe economy is developing faster and faster解析：段意归纳题。根据最后一段中的“Childrens books are in demand all over the world and more and more writers and authors are ing up with some new books”及相关情节可推知，孩子们越来越喜欢图书。答案：B30Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?AThere Are Six Kinds of Childrens BooksBSome Writers Are Wellknown in the WorldCMany Films Are Based on Childrens BooksDChildrens Books and Literature Are Very Popular解析：标题选择题。文章介绍了很多儿童书籍被改编成电影的情况以及儿童书籍未来的发展潜力等，这些都表明了儿童书籍很流行。故D项符合题意。答案：DBChildren who are taught by the best teachers learn twice as fast as those with poor teachers，Prof. Dylan William says. Which school a child attends therefore matters much less than which teachers they have. A simple method of providing continuous feedback(反馈)on pupils performance is far more effective(有效的) than providing whiteboards, expensive puter equipment or even reducing class sizes. In some cases, money spent on these things could be money wasted, if teachers do not change the way they teach.He said earlier studies showed that the reduction of class sizes from 30 to 20 did not change teaching methods, and therefore the huge increase in spending it would require was not effective.“Im in favor of costbenefit analyses”， he said. “Any measures must be thought about. Education is expensive. I want children to have nice buildings and puters. But we need to look at how we can spend this money effectively. ”To illustrate this idea, he said that if 60 pupils were taught in three classes of 20 pupils instead of two classes of 30, it would create 150,000 extra classes and teaching spots to fill in England. At a cost of around 20,000 per class，the potential benefits should be weighed up against the cost.Prof William said extra training would be needed in how to give continuous, immediate feedback. One way of providing such continuous feedback is to use a “traffic light” system, he says.Pupils show a green light if they have understood what has been taught, a yellow one for partial understanding and a red one if they do not understand.This way，Prof William says，a teacher can find out how many students are following the lesson, and at what speed to take the class.A spokesperson said Assessment for Learning(AfL) could bring “important benefits”. “We introduced AfL into our National Strategy in xx, and want it to be_rolled_out everywhere. We believe it helps improve good practice and track pupils progress.”语篇解读：虽然很多学校都配备了电脑、多媒体等现代化的教学设施，但如果不改变老师们的教学方式，结果只能是造成资源浪费。31In the opinion of William, how to make education effective?ABy giving students constant and quick feedback.BBy reducing the size of a class.CBy equipping the classroom with puters.DBy having nice school buildings.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“A simple method of providing continuous feedback on pupils performance is far more effective than providing whiteboards, expensive puter equipment or even reducing class sizes”可知A项正确，即要想使教学有成效，提供反馈是最好的方法。答案：A32According to the passage, how much would be paid for extra classes?A3 billion. B45 billion.C30 billion. D30 billion.解析：细节理解题。由文章第三段中“it would create 150,000 extra classes and teaching spots to fill in England. At a cost of around 20,000 per class”可知答案为A。答案：A33Why did William suggest using a “traffic light” system in class?ATo make it easier for teachers to manage students.BTo judge how many students understand the lesson.CTo teach students the importance of keeping traffic rules.DTo attract the attention of students to the lesson.解析：细节理解题。结合倒数第二段的“find out how many students are following the lesson”可知B项正确。答案：B34The underlined words “be rolled out” in the last paragraph probably mean “_”Athink about it carefullyBdrop it and make it turnCmake it get out of the countryDmake it available all over the country解析：猜测词义题。根据上文所说AfL能够带来important benefits，并且要引入xx年的National Strategy，后一句话说“We believe it helps improve good practice and track pupils progress”，由此推知D项的解释符合画线词在语境中的意思。答案：D35What is the main idea of this passage?AEducation is much more expensive now.BTeaching is poor with best teaching equipment.CIt is the teaching method that matters.DModern equipment should be removed out of class.解析：主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了虽然教室里安装了大量先进的教学设备，但是如果老师的教学方法不改变，不给予学生以持续、迅速的反馈，那么教学的效果仍然不会令人满意，所以重要的是老师的教学方法，而不是教学设备，故选C。答案：CC Before James Blunt became a musician, he served in the army. He spent four and a half years there, with six months in Kosovo as part of the peacekeeping force. Before leaving the army，Blunt had decided to achieve his dream of being a musician. In xx, he was discovered by music producer Linda Perry who signed him to her Custard label. However, the road to success never runs smoothly. It seemed that he would bee another struggling singer trying to live from hand to mouth(勉强维持生计)when his first two singles failed to make an impact on the British charts. But everything changed when his third single Youre Beautiful made it all the way to No. 1 on the UK singles charts, and remained there for five weeks. The album (专辑)Back to Bedlam soon followed and quickly became one of the biggest selling records of the year, remaining ten continual weeks at No. 1. Since then，he has sold more than three million records, making him the first British artist to top the American singles charts in nearly a decade.Blunt,34，a throwback(返祖者)to the 1970s softrock golden age，has been quoted by Western media as saying that he will never get used to people screaming at him in the street.His success proves a lasting theory: You spend years chasing the right song. Then，if youre lucky，and if the song really takes off, you spend the rest of your life trying to escape it，or learning to live with it. A few years removed from Youre Beautiful, he can still fill stages worldwide with fans who stay until the end.语篇解读：军人出身的英国歌手詹姆斯布朗特以一首美丽的你一举成名，让我们一起来分享他的成功故事吧！36What do we know from the passage?ABlunt was discovered by Linda Perry before joining the army.BBlunt has already bee famous before joining the army.CBlunt spent five years in the army altogether.DBlunt had the dream of being a musician before leaving the army.解析：细节理解题。由第一段的第三句“Before leaving the army，Blunt had decided to achieve his dream of being a musician”可知，早在退伍前，Blunt就想成为一名音乐家。答案：D37Which of the following can describe James Blunts life as a musician before he sang the song Youre Beautiful?ADifficult. BHappy.CBoring. DSmooth.解析：推理判断题。由第一段的第五、六句话可知，他在未唱红Youre beautiful这首歌之前，和其他的struggling singer一样勉强维持生计，故他的生活应该是艰难的。答案：A38What is the reason for Western media to conclude that “he will never get used to people screaming at him in the street” in the second paragraph?ABlunt will never adjust himself to the noisy environment around.BThe popularity of Blunt has been gaining him an increasing number of fans out of his expectation.CWhat Blunt sings disturbs people so much that they yell to him their anger.DPeople in the street are rude civilians who are against any form of entertaining，including Blunts songs.解析：细节推断题。由文章第二段可知，James Blunt是连续将近十年稳居美国单曲排行榜榜首的第一位英国艺人。他的成功为他带来数量日益增多的歌迷。西方媒体对他的评价形象地表现了歌迷见到他欣喜若狂，前呼后拥，而他躲闪不及，无法适应的场面。因此B选项符合。答案：B39We can infer from the last paragraph that_.ABlunt is wellknown in the world for his talentBBlunts fame as a musician came easilyCBlunt wasnt lucky enough to win his fanssupportDBlunt has to face the inconvenience his fame has caused解析：推理判断题。James Blunt通过不懈的努力，终于因Youre Beautiful这首歌曲一夜成名，但他从此不得不承受成名后的压力和烦恼。文章倒数第二段中“.he will never get used to people screaming at him in the street”也暗示了这一点，故答案选D。答案：D40What is the passage mainly about?AThe song Youre Beautiful.BThe latest album of James Blunt.CThe success of James Blunt as a musician.DThe whole life of James Blunt.解析：主旨大意题。根据文章的内容可知，这篇文章主要讲的是歌手James Blunt以Youre Beautiful这首歌而一夜成名，随后又以Back to Bedlam歌曲专辑而风靡全世界，故选C项。答案：CDNeither television nor radio nor magazines nor books nor any other medium can begin to match newspapers for depth and breadth of coverage(新闻报道). In fact, all these media themselves depend on newspapers to bring them information that they then process and distribute as their own brand of news.Now many newspapers are locked in a struggle for survival. If they losewhich is by no means impossiblewe all lose.The great task for editors and publishers is to respond to the petitive challenge caused by online news, and at the same time use their own online news to increase their profits(利润). As yet，they havent figured out a smooth and sure way to do that.So they cut some more to get profit. The cuts in size that they are making are in some cases risky and in others without considering the results. With every cut, publishers tirelessly argue that readers wont even know the difference. The trouble is that by the time customers do notice that they are getting less for their money，it will be too latetoo late to notice the reduction in the number of readers.The other big cuts, of course, are in staff(员工). The victims would be the oldest and most experienced workers because they are the highest paid. While there is plenty of tired deadwood among them，there is also a lot of talent. When experienced staff leave in large numbersas they often do nowthe newspaper loses great professional memory. But the real loser is the readers, who are suddenly robbed of the insights(见识) that only the experienced reporters can bring.As for the future, there is at least one big, bright sign：intelligent young people will continue to flood into journalism in urgent search of jobs, despite its high demands and modest(不太高的) pay.语篇解读：本文介绍了作为媒体之一的报纸的现状。41The underlined word “deadwood” in Paragraph 5 may refers to “_”Athe staff who are going to retireBworkers who are experienced Cpeople who are no longer useful or neededDreporters who are tired of covering events解析：猜测词义题。根据第五段第二句话可知那些富有经验的雇员因为工资高而最容易受到解雇，再结合后面的talent，可以推出deadwood指那些在报社里没有用途的人员，所以选C。答案：C42According to the passage，which of the following can best describe the authors attitude towards the ways the editors and publishers have adopted to get profit?AThe author has no objection.BThe author opposes them.CThe author regards them reasonable.DThe author has not shown it explicitly.解析：推理判断题。由第四段“The cuts in size that they are making are in some cases risky and in others without considering the results”和第六段“When experienced staff leave in large numbers.the newspaper loses great professional memory”可知，作者对这两种方式都是不赞成的。答案：B43Who will be the real loser if newspapers lose according to the passage?APublishers.BReaders.CEditors.
