【1】Having too much confidence is not good. And now, a new study has proved this by finding that overconfident teenage students can stunt crucial（决定性的）reading skills. The study shows a clear connection between overconfident students and low reading comprehension. “While some self-confidence is helpful, overconfident 15-year-olds are often below-average (平均水平) readers in all 34 countries we studied, ” says Ming Ming Chiu, the lead author of the study. “In contrast, under-confident 15-year-olds are more likely to be above-average readers in all 34 countries, ”the expert added. The difference lies in a student’s ability to exactly assess (估计) and evaluate his or her own reading level, according to Chiu. Those who can accurately assess their strengths and weaknesses are usually in a better position to identify realistic goals and achieve them. “If an overconfident student chooses a book that is too hard—such as The Lord of the Rings rather than Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone—he or she might stop reading after a few pages and let it sit on a bookshelf,”says Chiu. “In contrast, a more self-aware student is more likely to finish an easier book and continue reading more books, ”the expert added. 1．The underlined word “stunt” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by .

To my surprise，he came toward me！He was curious，I suppose，or maybe he was stupid.For this was not a youngster，but a fully grownup one.He must have known about men and their guns.But this deer came closer，and I still waited.His wonderful head with a set of antlers(鹿角) was clearly in sight. I was getting a bit nervous as he walked closer.A big deer can do a lot of damage.Well，he walked right up to where I was sitting.Then he stopped and looked at me. What happened next was hard to believe.But it all seemed quite natural.I held out my hands and scratched his head right between the antlers.And he liked it.The big，wild，beautiful deer bent his head. I scratched and touched his head and body.His nose touched my shoulder.I fed him with my last sandwich. Well，he finally went his way，down the hill.Shoot him？Not me.You wouldn’t，either.Not after that.I just watched him go，a strong deer carrying a proud head. I picked up my gun，and started walking back.Suddenly，I heard two shots，one after another.If you have hunted much，you will know what two shots mean.They mean a kill.I had forgotten that there were other hunters around.

B 46. C 1-4 cbcc 本文主要讲了作者打猎时遇到了一头毫无戒心的鹿，并与其有短暂接触，作者没有猎杀这头鹿，但不幸的是它被别人杀死了，由此作者放弃了打猎。 5 C [从第五段第二句“His nose touched my shoulder.”可以看出它对作者没有恶意，而是很友好，故C正确。] 6．C [从倒数第二段第二句“Suddenly，I heard two shots，one after another.”可以看出，是别的猎人而非作者朝这头鹿开了枪，所以C是错误的。] 7．A [从第二段内容可以推断出A项正确。] 8 C [根据全文尤其是最后两段来看，可知作者是以一种很忧伤的笔调写这篇文章的。] 9．B [这头鹿对作者毫无戒心，这使作者非常感动，而它的悲惨结局又让人觉得无可奈何，故B为最佳答案。] 76. 正确。 77. 去掉any。in other words 为一固定短语，意思是“换句话说”。 78. 在can 后面加 to。they can 后面承前省去了一个do，they can 在此是定语从句修饰 all，后面的不定式 make sure作目的状语，故to在此不能省。这句话的意思是“父母亲做他们力所能及的事情，来保证我得到良好的教育”。 79. did 改为 do。整篇文章基本时态为一般现在时，此处用一般过去时态, 显然错误。 80. family 改为 home。at home 为固定短语。 81. subject改为 subjects。请注意前面的 all，subject应用复数。 82. a 改为the。the same为固定搭配。 83. 去掉about。about后面没有宾语，about显属多余。 84. and 改为or。a visitor 和a guest应是选择关系，而并非并列关系。意思是“好象我的父母亲把我当作一个来访者或一个客人”。 85. What改为 How。“我想知道其它家庭的情况是怎样的”。 语法填空 31．broke 32．who 33．as 34．settled 35．a 36．where 37．Some/Other 38．merrily 39．for 40．her As is known，that it is interesting to teach children to swim while they are still babies.Most large towntowns in Florida and California have already run particularlyparticular lessons for babies.The idea has quickly spread to Europe whichwhere ，in several countries，special courses wereare now offered to children who are from 7 to 24 months old.The first step is to have ∧a child get rid of the fear withof water.Next，he is teachingtaught to float in water.Once he can do that naturally and can swim withwithout fear，the child can master the technique and push himhimself forward through water. |
