Passage 1
When I was about six years old, my mother came home one day and found that I had collected half a dozen babies of the neighborhood – all of them too young to walk – and had them sitting before me on the floor while I was teaching them to wave their arms. When she asked the explanation of this, I informed her that it was my school of dance. She was amused, and placing herself at the piano, she began to play for me. This school continued and became very popular. Later on, little girls of the neighborhood came and their parents paid me a small sum to teach them. This was the beginning of what afterwards proved a very lucrative(赚钱的) occupation.
My mother took me to a famous ballet teacher, but his lessons did not please me. When the teacher told me to stand on my toes I asked him why, and when he replied “because it is beautiful,” I said that it was ugly and against nature and after the third lesson I left his class, never to return. This stiff and commonplace gymnastics which he called dancing only disturbed my dream. I dreamed of a different dance. I did not know just what it would be, but I was feeling out towards an invisible world into which I guessed I might enter if I found the key.
My art was already in me when I was a little girl, and it was owing to the heroic and adventurous spirit of my mother that it was not stifled(压抑的) . I believe that whatever the child is going to do in life should be begun when it is very young. I wonder how many parents realize that by the so-called education they are giving their children, they are only driving them into the commonplace, and depriving them of any chance of doing anything beautiful or original. . A31.When her mother came home one day, the narrator of the story_______. A. was teaching half a dozen babies to dance B. was teaching half a dozen babies to walk C. was collecting babies of the neighborhood
D. was making babies of neighborhood sit before her on the floor

C. contempt
D. indifferent
C33. The narrator thought that ballet was ________. A. the most graceful dance
B. a dance that she had dreamed of C. stiff, ugly and unnatural
D. an invisible world into which she guessed she might enter D34. According to the narrator, she owed her success in art to ______. A. her inborn talent B. her ballet teacher
C. the good education her parents gave her
D. the support of her understanding and adventurous mother
A35. The central idea of the passage is that _________.
A. parents should try to discover the natural gift in their children and help to develop it while they are young
B. the so-called good education parents give their children only drives them into the commonplace
C. mother should be heroic and adventurous D. ballet is no good as a form of dance. Passage 2
Increasingly, over the past ten years, people – especially young people – have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives（添加剂） and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.
Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished（培育） by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins （维生素）and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount – but not the quality – of foods grown in commercial farming area.
Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures（牧场）. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry（家禽）: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.
C 36. People have become more interested in natural foods because ___________. A. they want a change of diet
B. they want to eat food that is more tasty C. they no longer like processed foods D. they want to be fashionable
C37. Soil that is rich in organic matter _________.
A. has had nothing added to it
B. already contains vitamins and minerals C. contains unused vegetable matter
D. has had chemicals and fertilizers added to it B38. Which of the following is true?
A. Natural foods only refer to the plants that are grown in soil.
B. Natural foods include the plants growing in soil and animals moving freely in healthy pastures
C. Natural foods are generally affected by chemical fertilizers.
D. Natural foods contain all the essential vitamins and minerals as required by the human body. D39. According to the passage, the use of chemicals and fertilizers ________. A. will not necessarily increase the production of foods B. is good way to improve the quality of foods
C. promotes the foods both in quality and in quantity
D. is harmful to the health
A0. Battery chickens can’t be called “natural food” because _________. A. they all live together B. they are tasteless
C. their eggs have no vitamins
D. they are not allowed to move about and eat freely
Passage Three
From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship (伴侣关系), experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.
With a good book in our hands we should never be lonely. Whether the characters described are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends who we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement.
One of the most valuable gifts bestowed (赠送) by books is experience. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. Through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs（成功）of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.
