Over the next few afternoons． Mrs Phelps, the librarian, could hardly take her eyes off the small girl sitting for hour after hour in the big armchair at the far end of the room with the book Great Expectations on her lap (大腿)． It was necessary to rest it on her lap because it was too heavy for her to hold up, which meant she had to sit leaning forward (前领) in order to read． The only movement from the reader was the lifting of the hand every now and then to turn over a page．
Within a week, Matilda had finished Great Expectations which had four hundred and eleven pages． “I loved it,” she said to Mrs Phelps． “Has Mr Dickens written any others?”
“A great number．” said the astounded (感到震惊的) Mrs Phelps． “Shall I choose you another?”
Over the next six months, Matilda read fourteen books, including Nicholas Nickle by Charles Dickens and The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway．
“Mr Hemingway says a lot of things I don’t understand,” Matilda said to Mrs Phelps． “But I loved it all the same． The way he tells it makes me feel I am right there watching it all happen．”
“A fine writer will always make you feel that,” Mrs Phelps said． “And don’t worry about the bits you can’t understand． Sit back and allow the words to wash around you, like music．”
“I will．”
“Did you know,” Mrs Phelps said, “that public libraries like this allow you to borrow books and take them home?”
“I didn’t know that,” Matilda said． “Could I do it?”
“Of course,” Mrs Phelps said．
From then on, Matilda would visit the library only once a week in order to take out new books and return the old ones． Her own small bedroom now became her reading room and there she would sit and read most afternoons． The books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives． She went sailing on the sea with Joseph Conrad． She went to Africa with Ernest Hemingway and to India with Rudyard Kipling． She travelled all over the world while sitting in her little room in an English village．

B．Because Hemingway wrote his book in a very vivid (生动的) way．
C．Because she had the same experiences as what she read in the book．
D．Because Hemingway said a lot of things that she couldn’t understand．
30．What can we learn from the underlined sentence?

B．Mrs Phelps advised Matilda to read as carefully as she could．
C．Mrs Phelps thought there was no need to understand every word when reading．
D．Mrs Phelps advised Matilda to research if there was anything she didn’t understand．

You may not like it, but learning English is necessary if you want to succeed abroad． Not just that, you have to show your knowledge of the English language on one of the two major English proficiency (水平) examinations: the IELTS (雅思) or the TOEFL (托福)．
Which test you should take depends on your goal． The TOEFL remains the top exam in the US． But the IELTS is popular in the US but it is already the liked better test in the UK and Australia．
There are also differences in the examinations themselves． They both measure (测试) the four main language requirements: speaking, reading, writing and listening． However, the exams are very different in their form and methodology (方法)．
“Compared with the TOEFL, the IELTS test requires you to actually have a grasp (掌握) of the language and an ability to use it, rather than simply being well prepared for the test,” explains IELTS examiner Julian Fisher．
The key reasons for this are that the IELTS exam requires fill-in answers as opposed to (相对于) multiple choice (选择题), and its speaking section is done with a real examiner instead of a computer． The examinee is given a topic related to daily life．
“The face-to-face interview with a trained speaker of English allows for communicative interaction (交流互动), which reflects (反应) real academic (学术的) and workplace situations,” said senior exam marketing officer Pang Shuai． What scores do I need?
For the IELTS, a band score of 5 to 7 is fine for the majority of undergraduate and post-graduate programs． For top schools, you will probably need at least a 7．
When it comes to the TOEFL, there is a range (范围)． It all depends on the colleges． Mediocre (普通的) schools will let you get by with a score as low as 60． For a top-tier university, on the other hand, you will need to score upwards of 100 points on your TOEFL．
32．What does Paragraph 2 suggest?
A．In the US, the TOEFL score is not as important as it once was．
B．IELTS is more widely accepted than TOEFL by US schools．
C．The TOEFL score is liked better in Australian universities．
D．Universities in the UK mainly see students’ IELTS scores．
33．Which of the following is a difference between the TOEFL and the IELTS?
A．The TOEFL checks four English skills, while IELTS doesn’t．
B．The IELTS tests focus more on test-taking skills．
C．There are no fill-in answers in the TOEFL tests．
D．The IELTS interview s test-takers on the computer．
34．What does Pang Shuai think of the face-to-face interview?
A．More exams should take this exam form．
B．It is a useful skill in one’s studies and at work．
C．This exam form can make test-takers more relaxed．
D．A test-taker can score high simply by preparing well．
35．If you want to go to a top university in the UK or US, ________．
A．a 7 on the IELTS is probably a must
B．a score of 60 on the TOEFL is enough
C．you should take both the TOEFL and IELTS
D．you need a 7．5 on the IELTS for post-graduate programs
D
Delia was a young pianist with a kind, generous nature． Her husband Joe was a young painter who is honest and hardworking． They lived in a small flat after they got married．
Each of them was taking lessons—Joe with a famous art teacher, and Delia with a great pianist from Germany． They were the best teachers, so lessons were expensive, more than they could really afford, but．．． when you love your art, nothing is too much．
And soon the money began to run out and they couldn’t afford the lessons any more． Then one day Delia came home and told Joe that she had met a man． The man’s daughter, Sally, wanted to learn the piano and he was going to pay her 50 dollars an hour．
“Delia,” Joe said, “I’d be much happier if you go on with your lessons．” Delia said that it didn’t matter． She said, “When I’ve earned some money, I’ll start again． When you love your art, nothing is too much．” But Joe decided that he was also going to stop his lessons and paint pictures and try to sell them．
A few days later, Joe came home and proudly took 200 dollars from his pocket． Delia laughed and asked him where he’d got it from． “A man from Vermont bought one of my paintings． And he wants to buy more!” So the two of them were happy for a while． They didn’t have to worry anymore about finding the money to buy food and pay the bills． They missed their lessons, but that didn’t seem to matter．
Then, one day, Joe came home and saw that Delia’s hand was covered in a bandage(绷带)． He asked her what had happened and if she was all right． “Oh,” said Delia． “My student, Sally asked me to make some coffee for her． So I did and I dropped the coffee and burned my hand． But she went straight to the medicine shop and got this bandage for me．”
Joe sat down and told Delia to sit down too． “Delia, what have you been doing the last two weeks?” he asked． She tried not to tell him, but then the tears began． “Oh Joe, I couldn’t get students so I got a job as a waitress in a restaurant． And today I burned my hand with hot water． So I can’t work any more． I’m sorry, Joe, but we’ll still have money from the man in Vermont, won’t we?”
Joe looked at her． “There’s no man in Vermont,” he said． “I haven’t sold any paintings． I’ve been working in a medicine shop, and today someone came from the restaurant to buy bandages fora woman who’d burned her hand． So when I saw you—well, I guessed．”
They both laughed． “So we’ve told each other lies,” said Joe． “But when you love your art, ．．．” Delia put her fingers to his lips． “No, Joe,” she said． “When you love someone, nothing is too much．”
36．Who does the underlined word “They” mean in the passage?
A．The young couple Joe and Delia． B．The rich man and his daughter Sally．
C．The art teacher and the German pianist． D．The man in Vermont and the waitress．
37．How did Joe feel when he heard Delia’s decision in Paragraph 4?
A．Worried． B．Excited． C．Interested． D．Happy．
