Passage 1
(09·上海B篇)
（B）
Horse-drawn sleigh rides Dogsledding Snowmobiling
Welcome to Banff, Canada‘s first, most famous and arguably most fascinating national park. If you‘ve come to ski or snowboard, we‘ll see you on the slopes. Skiing is a local favourite too.
While you‘re here, try other recreational activities available in our mountains. Popular choices include a Banff Gondola ride up Sulphur Mountain, bathe in the natural mineral waters at the Upper Hot Spring, horse-drawn sleigh ride, drive-your-own-team dog sled excursion, and snowmobile tour to the highland（but not in the national park）.
We also recommend you make time to enjoy simple pleasures. After looking around Banff Ave shops, walk a couple of blocks west or south to the scenic Bow River.
True ice skating on frozen Lake Louise where Ice Magic International Ice Sculpture Competition Works are displayed after Jan 25. You can rent skates in Banff or at the sport shop in the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel.
Banff‘s backcountry paths access a wilderness world of silence and matchless beauty—cross country skis and snowshoes provide the means. Banff sport shops rent equipment and clothes, or join an organized tour. Although we‘ve been many times, we still find the cliffs and icefalls of our frozen canyons worth visiting.
Wildlife watching also creates satisfying memories. We have seen hundreds of the elk and bighorn sheep that attract visitors, yet they still arouse a sense of wonder. And the rare spotting of a cougar, wolf or woodland caribou takes our breath away.
See if simple pleasure work for your Fight in the snow with your kids, walk beside a stream or climb to a high place and admire the view.

Passage 3
(09·北京B篇)
Dear Friend.
The recent success of children‘s books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.
And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the ＄3 billion worth of children's books bought each year……plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers? They‘re ordinary folks like you and me. But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能）, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:
You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿）suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.
Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.
Sincerely.
Kristi Holl, Instructor
Institute of Children's Literature
61. From the first three paragraphs, we learn that .
A. children's books are usually bestsellers

Passage 4
(09·四川A篇)
Hey there,
So you‘re about to spend four years of your life and tens of dollars of your parents‘ money. and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you‘re going?
Relax. You‘re making the right decision. First of all, you‘ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it‘s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you‘ve never painted any pictures; once you‘re in a drawing-room on campus, you‘ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun — after you graduate, you‘ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduate earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.
Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.
* Researching Schools. To us. the most important decision you‘ll make is to choose the school that really fits your best — not the once that is the most competitive（有竞争力的）or has the best-equipped rooms.
* Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com. you‘ll find hundreds of actual college application（申请）and links to many more.
* Raising Your Scores. American College Test is once of the most important parts of the admission（录取）course. It‘s not the most important, though and everyone needs to prepare for the best. But, if you can do better, find the right course for better scores.
*Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you‘ll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.
For more information, call 600-3681 or visit JohnsonReview.com. Wherever you go. have a nice trip !

Welcome to My Message Board! Subject: Slimming down classics? Mr. Handsome 2007-5-12 6: 34 AM Orion Books, which decides there is a market in creating cut-down classics (经典著作), is slimming down some novels by such great writers as L. Tolstoy, M. Mitchell and C. Bronte. Now, each of them has been whittled down to about 400 pages by cutting 30 to 40 pages per cent of original, with words, sentences, paragraphs and, in a few cases, chapters removed. The first six shortened editions, all priced at ￡6.99 and advertised as great reads ―in half the time‖, will go on sale next month, with plans for 50 to 100 more to follow. The publishing house believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions. Well, I‘m publisher of Orion Group. Thanks for your attention, Mr. Handsome. I must say, the idea developed from a game of ―shame‖ in my office. Each of us was required to confess (承认) to the most embarrassing blanks in his or her reading. I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind several times. One of my colleagues acknowledged skipping (跳读) Jane Eyre. We realized Mr. Edwards 2007-5-12 9: 40 AM that life is too short to read all the books you want to and we never were going to read these ones. As a leading publishing house, we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but it‘s not as if we‘re withdrawing the original versions. They are still there if you want to read them. I‘m director of the online bookclub www.lovereading.co.uk Mr. Edwards, I think your shortened editions is a breath of fresh air. I‘m guilty of never having read Anna Karenina, because it‘s just so long. I‘d much rather read two 300-page books than one 600-page book. I am looking forward to more shortened classics! I‘m from the London independent bookshop Corckatt & Powell. In my opinion, the practice is completely ridiculous. How can you edit the classics? I‘m afraid reading some of these book is hard work, and that is why you have to develop as a reader. If people don‘t have time to read Anna Karenina, then fine. But don‘t read a shortened version and kid yourself it‘s the real thing. Ms. Weir 2007-5-12 11:35 AM Mr. Crockatt 2007-5-12 4:38 PM 60. According to the message board, Orion Books ___________. A. opposes the reading of original classics B. is embarrassed for cutting down classics
C. thinks cut-down classics have a bright future D. is cautions in its decision to cut down classics
61. In Mr. Edwards‘ opinion, Orion Group is shortening classics to _________. A. make them easier to read B. meet a large demand in the market
C. increase the sales of literary books D. compete with their original versions
62. By describing the shortened classics as ―a breath of fresh air‖, Ms. Weir ________. A. speaks highly of the cut-down classics B. shows her love for original classics
C. feels guilty of not reading the classics D. disapprove of shortening the classics
63. Mr. Crockatt seems to imply that _________.
A. reading the classic works is a confusing attempt B. shortening the classics does harm to the original C. publishing the cut-down classics is a difficult job D. editing the classic works satisfies children‘s needs

(湖北省宜昌市一中2009届高三5月仿真模拟考试E篇)
The Writers' Strike：Making the Best of the Worst
By now you are probably feeling the effects of the TV writers‘ strike-the decision of television writers to stop working．With few new TV shows，I present to you a list of shows available on DVD worth your viewing time to keep you going during this painful period·
Arrested Development is one of the funniest and most clever shows ever to have appeared on network TV. With a most perfect cast(全体演员)，the show sets out to cover the daily happenings of the Bluth family，a group of selfish staff who manage to still put family first.
For more comedy goodness，I recommend one of the sharpest comedies to have ever broadcast．30 Rock．Starring Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin，two stars with impressive comic timing, the show gives you a glimpse into the making of a sketch show (幽默短剧),similar to Saturday Nigth Live, from the funny writers to the self-centered cast all the way up to the boss.
If you are looking for something more serious, or perhaps Friday Night lights might be more to your liking , If you are a fan of football, this show is probably for you. If you are a fan of great drama, both soapy and serious, this show is probably for you, If you are a fan of good-looking people, this show is definitely for you .
If those shows were not enough for you, might I recommend a show with a more heart-pounding excitement? The Amazing Race, after twelve seasons, still remains one of the most exciting shows on TV, Teams of two travel the globe with little to no money and experience far-out adventures in an attempt to remain the last team standing.
67．If you are fond of soapy TV shows，you will probably choose to watch A．Fridav Night Lights B．30 Rock C．the Amazing Race D．Saturday Night Live
68．From the DVD shows listed above，we can learn that A．two teams won the amazing race B．football fans enjoy the Amazing Race
C．the Bluths care about their family though selfish
D．30 Rock and Saturday Night Live have nothing in common 69．The author writes the passage to tell us that A．the effects of the TV writers‘ strike are great B．the strike puts TV shows in the worst situation C．watching DVD is a good choice during the strike D．we should choose DVD shows according to our tastes 70．The passage is most probably taken from A．a book review B．a newspaper C. a film poster D．a DVD menu

(安徽省马鞍山二中2009届高三第四次模拟考试A篇)
Dear Customers, I love slipping into a comfortable chair for a long read — as I relax into the chair, I also relax into the author‘s words, stories, and ideas. The physical book is so elegant that it disappears into the background, and what remains is the author‘s world. Today, we at Amazon are excited to announce Mindle, a wireless, portable reading device with instant access to more than 90,000 books, magazines, and newspapers. We‘ve been working on Mindle for more than three years. Our top design objective was for Mindle to disappear in your hands — to get out of the way — so you can enjoy your reading. We also wanted to go beyond the physical book. Mindle is wireless, so whether you‘re lying in bed or riding a train, you can think of a book, and have it in less than 60 seconds. No computer is needed — you do your reading directly from the device. We chose the same wireless technology used in advanced mobile phones. But unlike mobile phones, there are no monthly wireless bills, no service or data plans, and no yearly contracts. There is no software to install. We want you to get lost in your reading and not in the technology. Mindle uses a new kind of display called electronic paper. Sharp and natural with no strong light, reading on Mindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Mindle weighs only 10.3 ounces — less than a paperback — but can carry two hundred books. Enjoy learning about Mindle and many thanks!
56. This passage most probably is a (n) _____. A. advertisement B. news story C. lab report D. letter of thanks
57. From the passage we learn that Mindle is a device（设备） which _____. A. has neither wires nor weight B. is operated by a computer C. disappears while you read D. can find a book within one minute 58. With the device, the reader is able to _____. A. enjoy reading when driving a car B. improve reading skills C. gain access to free software D. get rid of heavy books made of paper 59. Different from mobile phones, Mindle _____. A. has a much more friendly screen B. can work in the absence of electricity C. doesn‘t involve regular fees D. is wireless and can be used anywhere

The United States federal government had two young men in the state of Tennessee arrested on October 22 on unknown charges.
In court documents published on Monday, it came to light that the men had discussed attacking an African-American school and killing 14 of them.
Another crime was about planning to murder Presidential candidate Barack Obama. According to their affidavits（口供）, the suspects‘ ―final act of violence‖ would be when they attacked Obama while wearing white suits and top hats and driving ―their vehicle as fast as they could toward Obama shooting at him from the windows.‖
The two suspects are Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena, Arkansas and Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tennessee. According to the court papers, they met last month over the Internet through a friend. Schlesselman and Cowart are believed to share ―very strong views‖ about White Power.
Schlesselman listed ―being racist‖ as his occupation on his Myspace page. He further wrote: ―I‘m white. I‘m proud. I get angry. I like guns.‖
Cowart also had a Myspace page on which photos of guns were presented under a heading of ―My Guns‖. On his page he wrote, ―Better to die quick fighting on your feet than to live forever
begging on your knees.‖
Some have questioned the pair‘s ability to carry out the charged plan, but authorities have been very concerned about Obama as the first black presidential candidate from a major party.
―We honestly don‘t know if they had the ability or the skill to carry out the kind of plan that they talked about,‖ said Malcolm Wiley, of the United States Secret Service in an interview with The New York Times. ―But we take any threat seriously no matter how big or how small it is.‖
Cowart and schlesselman are scheduled to appear before a judge on Thursday. . The passage is mainly about _______. A. Americans‘ attitudes towards Barack Obama B. two young men planning to commit violence C. the violence in the United States D. the disadvantages of the Internet
65. From the passage, we can know that the two young men _______. A. shot 14 students in an African-American school B. came from the state of Tennessee C. were proud of Barack Obama D. have not been sentenced yet
66. Which of the following shows the right order of the events? a. The two suspects were arrested. b. The two suspects will be tried in the court. c. Cowart set up his MySpace page on the Internet. d. Malcolm Wiley was interviewed by The New York Times. A. a; b; c; d B. d; c; b; a C. c; a; d; b D. c; a; b; d 67. What can we infer from the news? A.
