第一篇阅读理解：
A survey has found that in adolescence (青春期) a lack of physical activity is connected with emotional and behavioral problems. More than 7,000 teenagers in Finland took part in the survey that judged their levels of physical activity and mental and emotional health. Boys who reported less than one hour of physical activity a week were more likely to be anxious and sad than boys who were more active. Girls who were not active had similar problems, and were more likely than boys who were not active to have sleep problems and break school rules.
The researchers concluded that both boys and girls who are not active are more likely than active ones to have social and attention problems.
“Adolescence is already a difficult stage of life-emotionally, mentally and physically,” study author Marko T.Kantomaa said in the American College of Sports Medicine.
“Mixing that with negative mental and emotional effects brought on by lack of physical activity does not help young people enter adulthood smoothly. Physical activity could be a highly effective and relatively easy way to help that transition and could lead to healthy habits for one’s whole life,” Kantomaa said.
Researchers said that evidence suggests that an increase in physical activity helps reduce problems of sadness and anxiety in both adolescents and adults. “It seems that there is a psychological(心理的)and physiological(生理的)connection that helps explain the beneficial effects of exercise on mental health,”Kantomaa said.

A. a lack of physical activity may cause many mental problems
B. a lack of physical exercise is common among teenagers

B. teenagers who aren’t active spend a lot of time studying
C. plenty of physical activity is effective in developing healthy habits
D. physical exercise is the only way to cure mental problems

What is eBay? The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform where nearly anyone can trade practically anything. People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods, including cars, movies and DVDs, sporting goods, travel tickets, musical instruments, clothes and shoes—the list goes on and on.
The idea came from Peter Omidyar, who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was still a child. At high school, he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tuft University in 1988, he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby, at first offering the service free by word of mouth. By 1996 there was so much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade(升级) and he began charging a fee to members. Joined by a friend, Peter Skill, and in 1998 by his capable CEO, Meg Whitman, he has never looked back. Even in the great com crashes of the late 1990s, eBay has gone from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet.
eBay sells connections, not goods, putting buyer and seller into contact with each other. All you have to do is make an e-photo, write a description, fill out a sales form and you are in business: the world is your market place. Of course for each item (商品)sold eBay gets a percentage and that is great deal of money. Every day there are more than sixteen million items listed on eBay and eighty percent of the items are sold
60. We learn from the text that eBay provides people with_______.
A. a place to exhibit their own photos B. a website for them to upgrade
C. a way of buying and selling goods D. a chance to buy things at low prices
61. Why did Peter create eBay after graduating from university?
A. To make money. B. For fun.
C. For gathering the engineers. D. To finish a task of his company.
62. From “he has never looked back” in Paragraph 2, we learn that Peter______.
A. did not feel lonely B. was always hopeful
C. became more and more successful D. did not think about the past
63. How does eBay make money from its website?
A. By bringing callers together. B. By making e-photos.
C. By listing items online D. By charging for each sale

很多人给出的答案应该是多读多写多练，那只是一个方面，是一个量的概念。质的概念应该是学习领悟的能力，以前我上高中的时候英语还不及格，楼主提出这个问题应该和我当年的情况差不多，当时我每天8篇以上练习量成绩只能提升一部分，因为我还没掌握英语学习的精髓（领悟的能力）。古语有云“磨刀不误砍柴工”，如何事半功倍的学习英语，个人观点是对比汉语，汉语是最难学的语言我们照常说的很溜英语算个啥？好，信心有了。第二步，更简单，积累单词，语法不好的话没关系，一定要有词汇积累，词汇量上去了，文章自然看得懂，当然送你一个小技巧，英美文章逻辑性很强，一般只要把段首尾的句子理解了你的正答率基本就能保持在80%以上了，还能节省时间，再细心一点全对也不难。完型还是考词汇量与短语，积累多了，读起来哪个溜就选哪个（基础阶段用此法），一般能答对70%左右，语法基础好的话能超80%，一天只要一篇就够了，别贪多。最后就是坚持啦，这点决定你的英语能否提上去，不坚持再好的方法也等于零，很简单，一天15分钟足够了，按照我说的做，其他模块正答率不是很差的话，坚持一年你的英语就能考到120左右啦，祝你成功啊
