Reading involves looking at illustrative symbols and expressing mentally the sounds and ideas they represent. Concepts of reading have changed 41 over the centuries.

Although experts agree that reading 43 a complex organization of higher mental 44 , they disagree about the exact nature of the process. Some experts, who regard language primarily as a code using symbols to represent sounds, 45 reading as simply the decoding（解码）of symbols into the sounds they stand for.
These authorities 46 that meaning, being concerned with thinking, must be taught independently of the decoding process.

Section B（22分）
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.
（A）
Mickey Mouse and Shrek are just a couple of the American animated (动画的) characters loved the world over. And they are examples of the evolution of animation, which has brought unique new life to the film industry.
Among the first American animated films was Light of the Moon, a silent movie produced in 1911 using silhouette (剪影) animation, where the characters are represented only as black silhouettes.
The real breakthrough for American animation came with Steamboat Willie, created by Walt Disney and released in 1928. It was the first animated film to be accompanied by sound, and its main star, Mickey Mouse, became one of the most loveable and enduring animated characters ever created. Disney also created the first American full-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Released in 1937, it enjoyed worldwide box-office success.
Disney’s extremely careful attention to high-quality detail in the thousands of hand-painted drawings required at that time to make an animated film elevated this film technique to the level of a serious art form.
Clay animation is a type of stop-motion animation using forms made of clay. Clay animation films have been produced in the United States since 1908. But this form of animation only won wide popular appeal in 1955 with a short film called Gumbasia, created by Art Clokey.
Computer-generated imagery, or CGI, brought animation to a new level of artistry and realism. Used in film since the 1960s, CGI animation began to develop rapidly in the mid-1990s. Toy Story, released in 1995 and created by Pixar and Disney Studios, was the first completely computer-generated animated feature film.
In 2001, DreamWorks and Pacific Data Images released Shrek, the first computer-animated feature film to win an Oscar. Shrek returned in 2004 with his talking donkey, his princess bride Fiona and an army of fairy-tale characters in Shrek 2. Hugely popular, that film became the highest-grossing (票房最高的) animated film of all time.
In addition to strictly animated movies, animation has been mixed into films showing live actors as well. Who can forget the terrifyingly real dinosaurs thundering through Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park movies and the actors they chased Thanks to the powerful capabilities of today’s computers and the unlimited imagination of American filmmakers, animation will be entertaining audiences worldwide for a long time to come.
56. The passage is mainly about the _____ of animation.
A. influence B. popularity C. characters D. development
57. Which film marked the beginning of the complete digital age of American animation
A. Light of the Moon. B. Steamboat Willie.
C. Toy Story. D. Shrek.
58. It can be learned from the passage that _____.
A. Disney played a very important role in promoting animation
B. computers make animated characters more lovely
C. Jurassic Park movies involve only live actors
D. clay animation enjoys long-lasting popularity
59. What can be inferred about the future of animation from the passage
A. Animation will forever remain an essential form of entertainment.
B. Animation will be replaced by new forms of films in the near future.
C. Animation will continuously gain new life due to computers and imagination.
D. Animation will get more popular in the future for the developing film technology.

Free to Soar
One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds racing and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in check.
Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the string and the tail kept them attached, facing upward and against the wind. The kites struggled and kept being dragged behind, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”
Yet freedom from restriction simply put it at the mercy of a cruel breeze. It flew ungracefully to the ground and landed in a messed mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifeless against the first obstruction.
How much like kites we sometimes are. The heaven gives us misfortune and limitations, rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength. Restriction is a necessary companion to the winds of opposition. Some of us resist the rules so hard that we never soar to reach the heights we might have obtained. We keep part of the order and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights, recognizing that some of the restrictions that we may be annoyed at are actually the steadying force that helps us improve and achieve.
( )64. According to paragraph 2, “Let me go!” is said by _______.
A. the kite B. the wind C. the bird D. the flyer
( )65. Which of the following words has the meaning closest to the underlined word “obstruction”in paragraph 3
A. destruction B. miracle C. observation D. obstacle
( )66. According to the writer, in what way is man similar to kites
A. Man will never reach the desirable height unless he breaks some rules.
B. Man can be empowered by difficulties to go further and higher.
C. Man desires freedom but only a few will succeed.
D. Man is limited by his surroundings.
Section C（8分）
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A .Therefore, it would be advisable to remain thoughtful of how you conduct yourself and deal with others around you. B. State out right that you want to get along. C. In other words, do not allow yourself to take out your negative emotions on others around you. D. Getting along with someone, regardless of their passions, isn’t about being their best friends or sharing all their hobbies. E. You can only change how you interact with people, you can not change them. F. So it is better to listen to what the conversation is about before speaking.
There are a lot of different people in the world, but despite our differences, we all want to get along with others. Humans are social beings, and we enjoy being treated nicely. 67 It is about treating people with respect and care.
Be a good listener. To start a conversation, it is important to listen first, especially when you are in a group. Don’t indulge (放纵) yourself in instant chat when you have just arrived. Examine the situation and the conversation, and then say whatever you think fit. It is better to say something substantial, rather than something meaningless. 68 Don’t try to change people. It is not your job to change anyone else. It is not in your power to change anyone else. Let other people love how they want to live. 69 If you do not like the way someone acts, you can try to interact with them as little as possible. You can always maintain a good attitude towards them so that your relationship with them might change.
Keep a smile. A little laughter goes a long way, and a smile eases tensions, whereas a frown can create tensions. If someone teases you, try to laugh it off. If someone is frowning, smile at them. Be mindful of your facial expression. If you are persistently and optimistic, people will cheer up when they see you coming.
70 Some people do not take hints. Some people do not read body language. For these people, it really works to just say, “I really want us to work well together. I will help you and back you up, and you help me and back me up.”
