I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books.There was not one night that I don't remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside.I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded.
I always wanted to know what my mom was reading.Hearing mom say，"I can't believe what's printed in the newspaper this morning，" made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself.I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew.So I carried around a book，and each night，just to be like her，I would pretend to be reading.
This is how everyone learned to read.We would start off with sentences，then paragraphs，and then stories.It seemed an unending journey，but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors.When mom said，"The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf，" I knew where the candy was.My progress in reading raised my curiosity，and I wanted to know everything.I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly，so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.
Most of my reading through primary，middle and high school was factual reading.I read for knowledge，and to make A's on my tests.Occasionally，I would read a novel that was assigned，but I didn't enjoy this type of reading.I liked facts，things that are concrete.I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.
Yet，now that I'm growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex，I find myself needing a way to escape.By opening a novel，I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character.In these worlds I can become anyone.I don't have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this.I just read to relax.
We're taught to read because it's necessary for much of human understanding.Reading is a vital part of my life.Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning.And I've found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.

1．For several days Ⅰ（Jane Eyre） saw little of Mr.Rochester.One evening，I was invited to talk to him after dinner.There was a smile on his lips，and his eyes were shining brightly.As I was looking at him，he suddenly turned around and asked me， "Do you think I'm handsome，Miss Eyre？"
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it： "No，sir."
"Ah，you are really unusual!You look like a quiet，serious little person，but you can be almost rude."
"Sir，I'm sorry.I shouldn't have given an immediate answer to such a question about appearances；I should have said that beauty doesn't matter，or something like that."
"No，you shouldn't!I see，you criticize my appearance，and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear!You have honesty and feeling.There are not many girls like you.Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance（抵消） your few good points."
I thought to myself that he might have too.He seemed to read my mind，and said quickly， "Yes，you're right.I have plenty of faults.I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one，and have never found the right path again.I might have been as good as you，and perhaps wiser.I am not a bad man，take my word for it，but I have done wrong.It wasn't my character，but circumstances that were to blame.Why do I tell you all this？Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to，because you're sympathetic and you give them hope."
"Don't be afraid of me，Miss Eyre，" he continued." You don't relax or laugh very much，perhaps because of the effect Lowood has had on you.But in time you will be more natural when you're with me，and laugh，and speak freely.You're like a bird in a cage.When you get out of the cage，you'll fly very high.Good night."
（1）Why did Mr.Rochester say "and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear" in paragraph 5？
A．Because Jane had offered some unnecessary explanations.

3．To me，life without music would not be exciting．I realize that this is not true for everybody．Many people get along quite well without going to the concert，and listening to the record．But music plays an important part in everyone's life，whether he realizes it or not．Try to imagine，for example，what films or TV plays would be like without music．Would the feelings，the moving plot，and the greatest interests，be so exciting or dramatic？I'm not sure about it．
Now，we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning----the kind of music we hear in the concert hall．But if we look at some parts of music more closely，we discover them in our everyday life too----in the rhythm of the sea，the melody of a bird in the woods and so on．So music surely has meaning for everyone，in some way or other．And，of course，it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music．
It is well said， "Through music a child enters into a world of beauty，expresses himself from his heart，feels the joy of doing things alone，learns to take care of others，develops his mind and makes his body strong．"
（1）What does the writer say more about in the text？
A．Life full of music．
B．The importance of music．
C．Life without music．
D．The development of music．
（2）From the text，we learn that many people．
A．go to the concert instead of enjoying music
B．get along quite well without music
C．don't realize the importance of music
D．think music would be less exciting than films
（3）What does the underlined word "melody" mean in the text？
A．flying
B．living
C．looking
D．singing
（4）From the last paragraph，we learn that music．
A．is very necessary for our everyday life
B．is very important，especially for children
C．can make our life exciting and dramatic
D．can enter another beautiful world發(fā)布：2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷：6引用：3難度：0.6
