David went to the cinema the other night. Entered the cinema, he thought of taking off his coat. But the cinema was very cold and he has to keep his coat on. As there weren’t much space between the rows, his legs began to ache shortly after he took up his seat. Worse still, they found it difficult to breath easily.

Li Hua is an English learner who want to improve his reading skills, and he rarely practices. Yesterday he came and asked us for advices. “Any good athlete,” I said, “who will tell you he practices hardly to get in shape and achieve high honors. Seldom we hear of any athlete becoming a champion without any effort. We consider training to be a part of the game. Once he is in shape, it is easier of an athlete to succeed. Reading skills develop the same way. Any person who reads a lot are bound to improve his reading comprehension.” Feeling ashamed, Li Hua made upon his mind to practice more in future.
参考答案：
Li Hua is an English learner who want  to improve his reading skills, and  he rarely practices.
wants                        but
Yesterday he came and asked us  for advices . “Any good athlete,” I said, “who will tell you he
                        me    advice
practices hardly  to get in shape and achieve high honors. Seldom ∧  we hear of any athlete
        hard                                           do
becoming a champion without any effort. We consider training to be a part of the game. Once he is in shape, it is easier of  an athlete to succeed. Reading skills develop the same way. Any person
                  for
who reads a lot are  bound to improve his reading comprehension.” Feeling ashamed, Li Hua
              is
made upon  his mind to practice more in future.
     up
第一处将want改为wants，因为关系词指代an English learner，是单数，再根据上下文可判断出，此处应用一般现在时。
第二处将and改为but，语境表示，Li Hua想改善阅读技能，但是他很少练习，此处应表示转折关系。
第三处将us改为me，因为此处应表示Li Hua向作者寻求建议，此处应用me。
第四处将advices改为advice，因为advice是不可数名词。
第五处将who去掉，此处不是定语从句，这句话的主语是Any good athlete。
第六处将hardly改为hard，hardly意为“几乎不”，hard意为“努力地”，此处表示“努力训练”。
第七处在Seldom后面加do，seldom是表达否定含义的词，放于句首时，后面的句子应用部分倒装，又因此句用一般现在时，所以应在we前面加do。
第八处将of改为for，因为easier不是表达人的品质的形容词。
第九处将are改为is，因为句子的主语Any person表示单数。
第十处将upon改为up，make up one’s mind是固定短语，意为“下定决心”。
三、 阅读理解
21. 109-year-old Anna Ferris of Washingtonville kicks a soccer ball Saturday with the help of her grandson Joe Begendorf at the Orange County Senior Games. Ferris has been a regular at the event.
She was born on Feb. 11, 1900, in New York City, before the radio or crossword puzzle was invented.
Anna carries the seasons lightly for her age. Family and friends say she walks around the house and sometimes does laps with her walker around the driveway to keep her legs strong.
“She’s doing this well because we try to keep her out of the wheelchair as much as possible,” said Begendorf, who helped steady his grandmother Saturday during each athletic event.
Last New Year’s Eve, she toasted 2010 by holding a glass of white wine high above her head at 1 am.
But the public legend of Anna Ferris began at last year’s Senior Games when she finished the 100-meter dash with support only from her walker.
“When they said she was going to race last year, we thought it was a joke,” said Anne Coon, co-chairman of the games. “She walked away with a whole chest full of medals by the end of the day.”
On Saturday, Anna threw a softball 16 feet and used a metal bat to hit a softball 15 feet off a tee(球座). She threw a football more than 9 feet. She scored 10 points in “crazy water bocce(滚球)”.
She even tried soccer. Her first two kicks landed short of the goal and Anna shook her head in disappointment. But her third try rolled gently into the back of the net. That’s when Anna Ferris smiled with the excitement of a little girl.
56．The underlined phrase “a regular” in Paragraph 1 refers to a person who       .
A．appears at some events regularly              
B．gives regular direction in some events
C．takes part in some events occasionally             
D．is too common to be recognized
57．Before Anna Ferris was born,         .
         A．her parents died                                                  
B．her family lived in New York for a long time
         C．people didn’t know radio or crossword puzzle
      D．the First World War broke out
58．When did Anna Ferris draw attention to the public?
         A．Until she threw a softball 16 feet on Saturday.  
B．Before she kicked a soccr ball.
C．before she was 109 years old.        
D．After she finished the 100-meter dash
59．According to Anna Ferris’ story, we can conclude that         .
         A．those who often drink can live longer
         B．those who live a regular and active life can be healthy
         C．she likes everything in the world
         D．doing exercises is the only way to live long

22. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项。
There has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years，and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the world's leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.
London
London's flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat of flooding，but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 21 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed.
There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals，an airport and 80 billion worth of property in London's flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.
Paris
Over a six-week period in July and August 2008，more than 11400—mainly elderly people—died in France from dehydration (脱水) and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?
One solution is to have air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions.
In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower”， which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner.
Shanghai
Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century.
An estimated 250,000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coal-fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.
65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
  A. Big Cities Facing Big Disasters         B. Big Disasters in the Future
  C. The Increase of Natural Disasters        D. Solutions to Natural Disasters
66. What problem should be settled now in London?
  A. How to protect the city's property.       B. Where to build its flood defences.
  C. How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city.
  D. How to improve the function of the old flood defences.
67. Which of the following measures can't solve the heat wave disaster in Paris?
  A. Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo.
  B. Having air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes.
  C. Forbidding the city to build “Flower Tower”．
  D. Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings.
68. The major threats to Shanghai are ________.
  A. increasing population and coal-fired power stations
  B. rising sea levels and typhoons
  C. extremely high temperature and rising sea levels
  D. extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons
69. The purpose of the passage is ________.
  A. to tell us how to protect the big cities
  B. to give advice on how to defend natural disasters
  C. to explain what causes flood and heat waves
  D. to warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities
