三、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，计30分）

阅读下列内容，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

A

Whether you’re a boy or a girl and whether you’re a freshman or a senior, developing the following skills will help you achieve success in school and in life．

Time management．

There are just 24 hours in each day． What you do with that time makes all the difference． While high school students have an average of 35 hours per week of class time, college students have an average of 15 to 18 hours per week． Manage your free time wisely and you’ll make full use of each day．

Good study habits．

If you’ve got them, it’s great． If not, there’s still time to develop them． Good study habits include the following:

* Always be prepared for class, and attend classes regularly． No cutting!

* Finish homework in a timely manner．

* Review your notes daily rather than study for tests the night before．

* Set aside quiet time each day for study, even if you don’t have homework or a test the next day!

You can’t possibly set down everything the teacher says since we talk at a pace of about 225 words per minute． But you do need to set down the important materials． Note-taking should be in a way that’s the most helpful to you． You can try writing notes on different coloured cards． If you really have a problem with note-taking, you might ask your teacher if you can record daily lessons． Do whatever it takes!

Review of daily notes．

Don’t wait until the night before the test to review your notes． Go over your notes each day while the lecture is still fresh in your mind． Add any missing pieces． Compare your notes with a classmate’s notes． Review your notes each day to improve your learning and build towards your final goal: mastery of the subject or skill．

31． What advice is given in both “Good study habits” and “Review of daily notes”?

A． Make full use of each day．                        B． Review your notes every day．

C． Finish your homework on time．                 D． Ask the teacher to record lessons．

32． Which of the following will be put in the empty box?

A． Recording Every Word．                            B． How to Prepare for Class．

C． Good Note-taking．                                   D． Reviewing with Classmates．

33． Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A． The Ways to Manage Free Time Wisely

B． The Importance of Good Study Habits

C． Differences Between High School and College

D． Four Key Skills for Success in School and Life

B

We had been floating down the Mississippi for a few days, just Jim and I on our raft． One night, a thick fog came up — so thick we couldn’t see our hand． I was in the canoe, trying to tie it to the raft, when the raft drifted off without me． I shouted, “Jim!” But his answering voice sounded far away．

All night I paddled around, lost and scared． I called and called． No answer． I thought about Jim alone on the raft, and I felt awful．

Just before dawn, the fog lifted． There was the raft, quiet and still． And there was Jim, sitting with his head down, asleep．

I climbed back to it quietly． Then a silly thought came to me． I shook him awake, putting on a serious face．

“Huck! You’re safe!” Jim jumped up, his eyes full of tears． “We got separated in the fog． I searched for you all night． I cried, thinking I’d never see you again!”

I tried not to laugh and said, “What’s wrong with you?            ”

Jim stared at me． Then he looked around at leaves and branches over the raft—things from the trees along the shore during the night． Then he turned to look at paddle marks in the wet wood—showing where the canoe had been．

He looked at me again and this time his face changed． He looked hurt． Real hurt．

“I called you for hours,” he said slow． “I said, ‘Poor Huck is lost forever．’ And now you sit there and tell me it was a dream．”

I didn’t say anything． I just looked at my feet． I felt about two inches high．

“Jim, it isn’t a dream． I’m sorry．”

He turned away and didn’t say a word． Seeing this, my heart sank． If I’d known it would make  him feel that way, I wouldn’t have done it at all．

— Adapted from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

34． What does the underlined phrase “a silly thought” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A． To play a trick on Jim．                             B． To look for Jim all night．

C． To leave Jim sleep quietly．                 D． To wake Jim up quickly．
