12．AWL is well known for its dictionaries and English language teaching materials．Some readers have written in to ask us for the latest information on high quality books on English，so here we introduce two books that aim to improve spoken English fluency．
    Let's speak （Beginner）

    ISBN：962001359X
    Speak Up（Pre Intermediate）
    By Kev Kusuay，Nako ZeKi
    ISBN：058222805F
"Teach the students about your culture and help them talk about their own．"How often are these worthy goals kept from being achieved by the limitations of your beginner level learners？Students at all levels want to talk about culture．
    Topics include food，shopping，sports，fashion，the roles of men and women，health，music，and many more．
    These are all chosen from surveys of over 15，000 students about their own interests in cross cultural communication．
"Let's speak"and"Speak Up"share a special but excellent way that allows all students to take part in．
   The series has questions which start thinking and then help collect opinions about personal topics．Conversation practice is provided by using models of basic exchanges on the topic．Also，the cultural information presented in the series comes in the form of interesting，relevant（相關(guān)的） facts and ideas from other countries through listening tasks and Culture Quiz exercises．
    Team activities in books provide lively problem solving games to enable sharing and comparison of cultural values．
"Let's speak"is fit for entry level students of all ages．"Speak Up"provides for the needs of higher level beginners．Offering the same careful listening and speaking help，but with slightly more open ended discussion．

分析 短文主要提供了兩本提高英語口語流利性的書籍．

解答 36．B，細節(jié)理解題，通讀全文，關(guān)于這兩本書的價格和頁碼沒有提到，故答案為B．
37．A，推理判斷題，短文主要講的是提高英語口語流利性，因此教學生"你的文化"，指的是英語為本族語的人的文化，故答案為A．
38．A，細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)Let's speak （Beginner）可知這本書是適合初學者的，Speak Up（Pre-Intermediate）是適合預備中級的學生的，因此它們是適合不同水平的學習者，故答案為A．
39．C，細節(jié)理解題，如果想更多了解此類書，可以通過寫信、打電話、傳真、發(fā)郵件等方式，因此至少有四種，故答案為C．
40．B，主旨大意題，短文主要介紹了兩本提高英語口語流利性的書籍，因此有可能是從報紙上的"書架欄目"摘取下來的，故答案為B．

點評 解答任務型閱讀理解題，首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽，掌握全文的主旨大意．因為閱讀理解題一般沒有標題，所以，速讀全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速讀的過程中，應盡可能多地捕獲信息材料．其次，細讀題材，各個擊破．掌握全文的大意之后，細細閱讀每篇材料后的問題，弄清每題要求后，帶著問題，再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息．最后，要善于抓住每段的主題句，閱讀時，要有較強的針對性．對于捕獲到的信息，要做認真分析，仔細推敲，理解透徹，只有這樣，針對題目要求，才能做到穩(wěn)、準．

2．I first met Joe Gumps when we were both 9years old，which is probably the only reason he is one of my best friends．If I had first met Joe as a freshman in high school，we wouldn't even have had the chance lo get to know each other．
Joe is a day student，but I am a boarding student．We haven't been in the same classes，sports or extracurricular activities．Nevertheless，I spend nearly every weekend at his house，and we talk on the phone every night．This is not to say that we would not have been compatible if we had first met in our freshman year．Rather，we would not have been likely to spend enough time getting to know each other，due to the lack of immediately visible mutual interests．
In fact，to be honest，I struggle even now to think of things we have in common，but maybe that's what makes us enjoy each other's company so much．When I look at my friendship with Joe，I wonder how many people I've known whom I never disliked but simply didn't take the time to get to know．Thanks to Joe，I have realized how little basis there is，for the social division that exist in every community．
Since this realization，I have begun to make an even more determined effort to find friends in unexpected people and places．

24．Why does the author say Joe Gumps became one of his best friends？B
A．They shared mutual friends in school．
B．They had known each other since children．
C．They shared many extracurricular activities．
D．They had many interests in common．
25．Which of the following can explain the underlined word"compatible"in the passage？A
A．suited and fitted．B．consistent．C．less-connected．D．unsuitable or unfit．
26．According to the writer，what may be the obstacle for him not to spend time to know others？C
A．That he doesn't like others'company．
B．Being strange to others．
C．The lack of obvious mutual interests．
D．That he's busy doing other important things．
27．What has the writer learned from his friendship with Joe？D
A．Durable friendships can be very difficult to maintain
B．One has to be respectful of other people in order to win respect．
C．It is hard for people from different backgrounds to become friends．
D．Social divisions will break down if people get to know each other．

3．During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries，almost nothing was written about the contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States．Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power，women were not considered an important force in history．Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century，Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution，and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband，John，the second President of the United States．But little or no notice was taken of these contributions．During these centuries，women remained invisible in history books．
Throughout the nineteenth century，this lack of visibility continued，despite the efforts of female authors writing about women．These writers，like most of their male counterparts，were amateur historians．Their writings were celebratory in nature，and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources．During the nineteenth century，however，certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged．National，regional，and local women's organizations compiled accounts of their doings．Personal correspondence，newspaper clippings，and souvenirs were saved and stored．These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women's history in the United States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffé College，and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College．Such sources have provided valuable materials for later generations of historians．
Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth century，most of the writing about women conformed to the"great women"theory of history，just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on"great men．"To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life，female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies，or else important women produced their autobiographies．Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers，activists working for women's right to vote，or authors，and were not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman．The lives of ordinary people continued，generally，to be untold in the American histories being published．

28．What does the passage mainly discuss？B
A．The role of literature in early American histories
B．The place of American women in written histories
C．The keen sense of history shown by American women
D．The"great women"approach to history used by American historians
29．The word"they"in line 12 refers toD．
A．efforts
B．sources
C．writings
D．a(chǎn)uthors
30．In the second paragraph，what weakness in nineteenth-century histories does the author point out？C
A．They put too much emphasis on daily activities
B．They left out discussion of the influence on money or politics．
C．The sources of the information they were based on were not necessarily accurate．
D．They were printed on poor quality paper．
31．What use was made of the nineteenth-century women's history materials in the Schlesinger Library and the Sophia Smith Collection？A
A．They were combined and published in a series of books about women．
B．They formed the basis of college courses in the nineteenth century．
C．They provided valuable information for twentieth-century historical researchers．
D．They were shared among women's colleges throughout the United States．
