第二部分： 阅读理解（第一节共20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分,满分50分)
阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children， so that we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading。 This means that when they don’t know a word， they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone。 After having taught fifth—grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books， and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to
read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that’s enough for me。 Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean. “
The children sat stunned and silent。 Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time， looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then， still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, Mr Holt, do you really mean that？” I said just as seriously, “I mean every word of it.
