26、Maurice Sendak’s children’s book, Where the Wild Things Are, came out in 1963.It has become very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie in 2009.
The hero of the book is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent to bed without any supper. Before long, Max’s room magically becomes a forest, and he walks to a land where monsters (怪物) live. Max isn’t scared, though, and becomes the king of the wild things, but after a while, he wants to go home. When Max walks back home, his supper is still hot in his bedroom.
Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop their imaginations. Melina Davis, a professor of education, said she likes how the bookcontains (包含) a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “This allows children to shape the story themselves,” she said.The book contains a few larger words. Some parents worry it may confuse (使迷惑) children, but experts say those words help improve children’s reading skills.
Davis said the book is well written which helps kids become interested in the story. “The book talks about what all children go through, like ‘I was naughty (淘气的) but my mommy still loves me’,” said Davis.
The book also encourages children to face their fears. “I think it’s really good to show that Max is friends with the monsters,” said Davis. “Kids can find out monsters aren’t always the things under the bed that are going to scare them. I think this is good because it shows children that they can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”
【1】What happens to Max in the story of the book Where the Wild Things Are?
A. He becomes the king of the world.
B. He and the monsters become friends.
C. He is sent to the forest by her mother.
D. He has a terrible dream and feels scared.
【2】Teachers and professors like the book because it helps children .
A. become more imaginative B. understand their own fears
C. develop good habits of life D. learn to draw nice pictures
【3】How do experts feel about the larger words in the book?
A. Angry. B. Worried.
C. Great. D. Confused.
27、Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.
【1】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
B. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children are easy to remember.
【2】The author explains the law of overlearning by ________.
A. presenting research findings
B. setting down general rules
C. using examples
D. making a comparison
【3】According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is ________.
A. a result of overlearning
B. a special case of cramming
C. a skill to deal with math problems
D. a basic step towards advanced studies
【4】What is the author's opinion on cramming?
A. It leads to failure in college exams.
B. It increases students' learning interest.
C. It's possible to result in poor memory.
D. It's helpful only in a limited way.
28、I sat here at that same desk and stared at the computer. I waited patiently for ideas to come to me, thinking about exam questions for a school test I would give to my English students tomorrow. My wife was off to a reunion somewhere, but I wasn't alone. Our two children kept me company. Ten-month-old Edward spent most of his day looking at some cards and other different pieces of paper. But Meghan was different from her younger brother.
She followed a daily routine that needed much time and was difficult. It included certain basic tasks: watching the fish, sweeping the carpet in her room, sitting for a few minutes on the bottom shelf of the bookcase to determine whether she still fitted there, checking regularly on Edward or jumping on the sofa.
I could do my own work fairly well during most of these chores. Unfortunately, I had not counted on the “Bib-bibs, bib-bibs”. “Bib-bibs, bib-bibs” shrieked Meghan, and her eyes were alive with expectation. She insisted that I go with her to the window. “No, Meghan,” I answered irritably. “Not now. Go away and leave me alone.”
She left without any attempt to bother me. I could finish the test easily without interference. However, I saw her standing quietly with tears running down her cheeks. She had two fingers of her right hand in her mouth and watched me type. She caught sight of the birds from time to time.
At this moment, only for a moment, I saw a little girl crying because I didn't have time for her, realizing somehow it was the sitting next to each other that meant everything. I put away the blank paper and stood up.

30、My father always loved gardening. Growing prize-winning vegetables was a serious matter for my father for another 20 years after his retirement.
Growing vegetables was a business for my dad. Dates when everything was planted were carefully _______. The type of seed used, the fertiliser and the weather were all documented.
Mum _______ a trip out for a holiday, but it was a thing of the past. “It’s too warm today,” Dad would say. “My vegetables will need a _______ every three hours.”

Beyond our wildest dream, Dad _______ the local Loxton show, where he could _______ his gardening skills.

Mum complained, “He is _______ in getting them ready.” However, soon she loved others’ remarks about how _______ she was to have all the produce.
