　　(Text 10)

　　Christmas is a festival for family members to get together for reunion. People who live away try to get back home. The roads and railways are full of people traveling long distances in order to spend Christmas at home. And above all, It's the children's festival.

　　The children count the weeks, then the days to Christmas. They're wondering what presents they are going to have; they keep trying to find something out from their mother, but the only thing the mother will tell them is stories about Father Christmas, who brings presents to good children.

　　Christmas Eve comes at last. When the children go to bed they hang up their stockings and on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course it's really their parents who fill the stockings, but even the older children often pretend not to know this.

　　Everybody likes to be happy at Christmas time. The theater puts on special shows for children. The circus is another thing that parents may take their children to see. Here, audiences sit in a circle and the performance takes place in the center. The main attraction is the performing animals. Elephants, lions and tigers are trained to do astonishing tricks. Every circus, too, has clowns who make people laugh.

　　17．According to the writer, what kind of festival is Christmas?

　　A．It's a holiday to go out for fun.

　　B．It's a festival for people to play tricks on others.

　　C．It's a festival for reunion.

　　18．Where do people want to spend Christmas?

　　A．In the park.

　　B．At home.

　　C．Out in the open.

　　and it became __45__ to believe:

　　I am a genius, and I apply my wisdom.

　　It was two and a half years later when I really saw the __46__ of the statement.I was sitting in a college library __47__ by fellow students whom I was helping with higher mathematics.

　　43. A．moreover B．however

　　C．otherwise

　　D．anyhow

　　解析：选B。根据本空后“说了很多次以后，‘我’开始感受到这些饱含力量的文字的含义了”可知，作者的认识发生了转变——由“觉得滑稽”到“感受到了话语的含义”。前后表示转折，故选however。

　　It would be hard to argue that there is anyone more powerful in Hollywood today than Steven Spielberg.Since his first major success Jaws in 1975, he has made one hit movie after another.These include the wildly popular series Indiana Jones, Jaws and ET.

　　Those films are fun and lighthearted.But Steven Spielberg has also made serious films that were well received by critics (评论家) and movie audiences alike.The movie Saving Private Ryan is a good example.It is an American war movie in the traditional sense.But, the director's close attention to detail and historical facts also increased public interest in America's efforts during World War Two.

　　The film Schindler's List also takes place during World War Two.It tells the powerful story of a German businessman who worked to save Jews from Nazi Germany.

　　Steven Spielberg was born in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio in 1946.His mother owned a restaurant and was also a musician. His father was an electrical engineer.Steven started making movies while he was growing up.He required his family and friends to pay twenty­five cents to see his films when they were completed.Steven Spielberg said this_experience led him to produce the film Super Eight.It tells about a group of teenagers who join together to make a movie and uncover a mystery in the process.

　　Steven Spielberg is one of the top directors in the film industry and also has many fans in China.When asked about the secret of his success, Steven Spielberg said that he owes much of his success and happiness to his wife and children.He met Cate Capshaw, who is an actress, when he was working on one of his films.After that it still took seven years before they finally got married.The couple has seven children in all.

　　解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第一段的“his first major success Jaws in 1975”及第四段的“Steven Spielberg was born in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio in 1946.”可知这部电影是斯皮尔伯格29岁时拍摄的。

　　62．According to the text, Steven, Spielberg ________.

　　A．lived a poor life when he was young

　　B．believed hard work led to his success

　　C．has got seven children in total

　　D．had musical parents

　　解析：选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段的“The couple has seven children in all”可知C项描述正确。

　　Once upon a time, there was a scholar who wanted to gain more knowledge each day even though he had already gained enough knowledge.One day, he came to visit a saint and wanted to be his student.The saint provided some tea.He slowly filled the scholar's cup: the cup was full, yet he kept pouring and pouring.The scholar burst out, “Stop！You can't add anything to something that's already full！” The saint set down the teapot and replied, “Exactly.”

　　Whether it's the silence between notes in music, or some open time in your schedule, you need space to act effectively.Yet most of us, myself included, tend to stuff as much as possible into whatever room is available — closets, schedules, budgets, relationships, and even the mind itself.

　　However, some people know how to avoid overstuffing their life.For example, in Australia, it seemed that most people there operated at about 85% of their capacity (能力), unlike Americans pushing as close to 100% as possible.So when you run into Australians you know in the street, they have time to hang out and talk with you.

　　Remember the cup: its value is in the space, the emptiness it holds.How to empty your “cup”？

　　Be mindful of the element of space, openness, and emptiness in your life.This includes room in a drawer, the volume of air in a kitchen, and open­mindedness in a friend.Sometimes you're just stuck with a big bucket of tasks yet to do.But at least empty the bucket faster than you fill it with new tasks.Put some space between finishing one thing and starting another.For example, after sending one email, take a breath before replying to another one.Drop the stuff you can no longer afford to lug around.At sea level, you can run with a brick in your backpack, but if you're hiking on a mountain, that brick has got to go.

　　Allen goes everywhere with Brigitte Anderson, a 54­year­old secretary.He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her.“Most people don't seem to mind Allen，” says Brigitte, who thinks he is wonderful.“He is my fourth child，” she says.She may think of him and treat him that way, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allen is a dog.

　　Brigitte and Allen live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people.This level of care costs money.

　　In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dogs do.A Swedish kennel (宠物园) club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car, you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　It doesn't come as a surprise to you to realize that it makes no difference what you read or study if you can't remember it.You just waste your valuable time.__71__ One dependable aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.

　　Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, “No, thank you.I'm just looking.”？ Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it.But suppose you say instead, “Yes, thank you.I want a pair of sun glasses.” She says, “Right this way, please.”

　　__72__ If you choose a book, “just looking” for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that — nothing.But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.Your reasons will vary (各种各样); they will include reading or studying “to find out more about”， “to understand the reasons for” and “to find out how”．

　　__73__ Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, “I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America”．Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better.

　　__74__ At least two important processes go on at the same time.As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately.But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read.You have a kind of mental conversation with the author.

　　This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating (评价) it, relating (联系) it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes.__75__ One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing (区分) between facts and opinions.Facts can be checked by evidence.Opinions are one's own personal reac
