Recently I 36 about a little girl named Hope. After learning more about her life, I couldn’t help but feel it was not by 37 ,nor happenstance, that she had been named “Hope”. The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity 38 in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others. 39 I never had the opportunity to meet her, I wish I had.

She also hoped that it could be done 44 January 16, 2011.Unfortunately, however, the organization told her that her 45 request couldn’t be granted as the funds were simply 46 .

Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 51 the story of this 52 young girl who had touched the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged. Committees were fanned and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in 53 money to help make Hope's dream come true.
Her efforts were not in vain as they continued to help others, not only 54 , but spiritually and emotionally as well. At the gathering to celebrate her life, “A Celebration of Hope” on January 16,2011, the 55 was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars. Her wish had been granted!

第三部分 阅读理解 (满分40分)
A
Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time in which the eyes stop ---the duration of the fixation ----varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.
　　Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.
　56. The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except ________ .
　　A. the length of a group of words.
　　B. lighting and tiredness.
　　C. one’s familiarity with the text.
　　D. one’s purpose in reading.
57. The author may believe that reading ______.
　　A. demands an deeply-participating mind.
　　B. demands more mind than eyes.
　　C. requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation.
　　D. requires a reader to see words more quickly.
　58.What does the author mean by saying “but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.” in the second paragraph?
　　A. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading.
　　B. The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s ability to see words.
　　C. The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.
　　D. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see or comprehend words.
59. Which of the following is NOT true?
　　A. The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.
　　B. The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text.
　　C. The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.
　　D. Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.
　60. The tune of the author in writing this article is ________.
　　A. pessimistic B. optimistic C. critical D. neutral

B
Until the 1980s, the American homeless population comprised mainly older males. Today, homelessness strikes much younger part of society. In fact, a 25-city survey by the U. S. Conference of Mayors in 1987 found that families with children make up the fastest growing part of the homeless population. Many homeless children gather in inner cities; this transient and frequently frightened student population creates additional problems — both legal and educational — for already overburdened urban school administrators and teachers.
　　Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from 350,000 to three million. Likewise, estimates of the number of homeless school children vary radically. A U.S. Department of Education report, based on state estimates, states that there are 220,000 homeless school-age children, about a third of whom do not attend school on a regular basis, But the National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that there are at least two times as many homeless children, and that less than half of them attend school regularly.　　　　
One part of the homeless population that is particularly difficult to count consists of the “throwaway” youths who have been cast of their homes. The Elementary School Center in New York City estimates that there are 1.5 million of them, many of whom are not counted as children because they do not stay in family shelters and tend to live by themselves on the streets.　　　　
Federal law, the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, includes a section that addresses the educational needs of homeless children. The educational provisions of the McKinney Act are based on the belief that all homeless children have the right to a free, appropriate education.
　61. It is implied in the first paragraph that ____.
　　A) there is a serious shortage of academic facilities.
　　B) homeless children are denied the opportunity of receiving free education.
　　C) the writer himself is homeless, even in his eighties.
　　D) many older homeless residents are going on strike in 25 cities.
　62. The National
