Last year I was put into a lower-level math class at school. The reason had nothing to do with my math 36 . I was blind. The school decided that it would be better for me to 37 at a lower level because it took me a great deal longer to 38 the homework.
The only problem in this class was that I was surrounded by 39 students. These were boys who didn’t do well in school. Their home life was 40 different from mine, and they were constantly （经常地） in trouble 41 the school.
I remember sitting at my desk one morning, 42 what I had gotten into. We had already finished our lesson for the day, and 43 of the boys began to talk about what they had done at the past weekend. I tried not to 44 , but it was really impossible not to. 45 the teacher was in the room, that didn’t stop my classmates from 46 the parties they had been to, and how drunk they had been.
One Tuesday morning, I went to a 47 . There was a speaker talking to us about 48 for our enemies. I began to think about this and prayed for （为……祈祷）the boys in my class. I had forgotten that they weren’t good boys; they were just 49 .
When I heard their voices in class, I would pray, “Dear God, please 50…”As time went on, my classmates became more than just 51 boys to me. There was something growing inside my heart, something that wasn’t there before. They began to feel like 52 , and I was learning to love them in a way I never thought possible.
I now see that praying is such a 53 act. When I pray for those around me, it also blesses my 54 , and it changes my ideas of others. I realize I need God’s blessings to 55 the world through my loving eyes. The prayers I said for others turned out to help me the most.

 第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
A man from Sri Lanka on Friday broke the Guinness world record for the longest time spent watching TV. He finished with 69 hours and 48 minutes.
Suresh Joachim did his TV viewing in the lobby of WABC-TV as part of the “Guinness World Record Breaker Week ” on the TV talk show “Live With Regis and Kelly”.
After passing the previous record of 50 hours and 7 minutes Thursday, Joachim continued until about 7 am Friday.
Sitting on a brown leather couch, he watched nothing but ABC shows.
“I’m going to be a little tired of watching TV after this,” Joachim told reporters by phone during a brief break.
Rules of Guinness for the couch potato honor, allow for a five-minute break every hour and a 15-minute break every eight hours. The viewer must be constantly looking at the screen.
The hardest part, Joachim said on Live With Regis and Kelly, was “I couldn’t watch the people” —the many, waving passers-by on the street outside the ABC studio.
Joachim, who lives in Toronto but comes from Sri Lanka, now holds more than 16 Guinness records, including the longest duration balancing on one foot (76 hours, 40 minutes) and bowling for 100 hours. He does it, he says, to raise awareness of suffering children.
56．Which paragraph shows the main idea of the passage?
A．The first paragraph. B．The last paragraph.
C．The second paragraph. D．The sixth paragraph.
57．How many days had Joachim spent when the new‘couch potato’record was made?
A．One week. B．Two days.
C．Four days. D．Nearly three days.
58．Which of the following phrases can replace the underlined word “constantly”?
A．All the time. B．At times.
C．Some time. D．Once upon a time.
59．What’s the biggest challenge for Joachim when he did his TV viewing?
A．That Joachim could eat nothing.
B．That Joachim couldn’t watch the people outside the ABC studio.
C．That Joachim felt very tired.
D．That Joachim didn’t have any time for a break.
B
Reading is very important to help you learn English. To learn as much as you can from reading, you need to read different kinds of English. This book provides not only different kinds of English but also a good way to check your reading ability.
There are four parts in the book:
Part 1 is Messages: In this part somebody wants to send information in writing to somebody else. There is a test on timetables and a test on text messages.
Part 2 is People: In this part all the tests are about people. For example, there is an informal letter between friends. There is formal English in biography （传记）. There is a job application（申请表） as a model to help with your writing, as well as testing your reading.
Part 3 is Places: In this part, too, many different kinds of English are shown, some informal and some formal. There is the informal English of a holiday postcard. There is also the formal English in a letter of complaint（抱怨）.
Part 4 is Things: You will find some descriptive writing in this part. There are descriptions of clothes and of a computer.
You can do these tests in any order you like, or you can do all the tests with a formal or informal text.
I enjoyed writing this book and I hope you enjoy using it.

C
Looking back on my childhood, I believe that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and my sisters soon gave up their flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic （算术）.
Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim（暗淡的） memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal（水晶）clear memory of the dogs, farm animals, local birds, and above all, insects.
I am a naturalist, nor a scientist. I have a strong love for the natural world and my enthusiasm （热情） has led me into varied investigations （调查）. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something brings these observations together in my mind. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books.
But curiosity（好奇心）, a keen （敏锐的）eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.
64．The first paragraph tells us the writer .
A．was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood
B．lost his hearing when he was a child
C．didn’t like his brothers and sisters
D．was born into a naturalist’s family
65．The writer can’t clearly remember his relatives probably because .
A．he didn’t live very long with them
B．the family was very large
C．he was too young when he lived with them
D．he devoted himself to observing nature
66．It can be inferred from the passage that the writer was .
A．a scientist as well as a naturalist
B．not a naturalist but a scientist
C．only a born naturalist
D．first of all a scientist
67．According to the writer, a born naturalist should first of all be .
A．good at maths B．full of enthusiasm
C．knowledgeable D．self-disciplined（自我约束）
D
To reach the world’s richest country, you don’t need to set out for the Middle East, but for the South Pacific, to a tiny dot just south of the equator, called Nauru. Only 8.2 square miles in size, the whole of this county can be seen form the air as the plane comes into land. The blue South Pacific Ocean reaches for thousands of miles in all directions, the nearest piece of land Ocean Island 200 miles to the east.
Nauru is so small that the plane lands in what is best regarded as the capital’s main street. The seaward side of the runway has traffic lights at each end to stop cars when planes are landing. The tiny bus station outside the airport is crowded with well-fed and brightly clothed Naurans with their modern cars.
With Naurans now getting an average of $44,500 a year, the island’s 60,000 people seem to have little to worry about. A trip to the island’s central hump （隆峰） tells a slightly different story.
The hump with a great deal of phosphate （磷酸盐） round is Nauru’s wealth. When Nauru gained freedom from the British government in 1968, about 40 million tons of the earliest 100 million tons of phosphate were left. Since it has taken out another 10 million tons, the rest is only enough for another 20-25 years.
68．The bes
