第三部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分30分)

第一节　阅读理解(共16小题；每小题1.5分，满分24分)

阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners，but then stopped for a while.He had forgotten her name.

Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation.When she came back，she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.

Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these.Most people have.But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem.Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory can be improved.If you accept that，the following will show you how to improve your memory.

First，relax.If you are over-worried about remembering something，you’ll forget it.If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad，your mind will come to believe it and you won’t remember things.When you forget something，don’t follow up with sayings like “Oh! I always forget things！”．Such words will have a bad effect on you and your memory.

But relaxing isn’t enough.To improve your memory，you need to take an active role.Like your body，your memory can be made strong through exercise.Look for opportunities to exercise your memory.For example，if you’re learning a language，try to actively remember a lot of new words.

If you don’t take notice of things actively，you won’t remember them.So，you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day.For example，don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again，make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.

(　　)46．The first two paragraphs just tell us________.

A．Barbara was a very rich person　　 B．Mark often forgot his friends’ names

C．examples of memory problems　　 D．language problems of two persons

(　　)47．When you forget things，you ________.

A．must be too careless　　 B．shouldn’t lose heart about your memory

C．must accept the fact　　 D．shouldn’t take notice of the result

(　　)48．Why shouldn’t we say “I always forget things！” when we forget something?

A．Because we realized that we have a memory problem.

B．Because the words will have a bad affect on us and our memory.

C．Because we should find out something we forget instead of just saying.

D．Because we will remember it.

(　　)49．The word “opportunities” in the fifth paragraph means “________”．

A．places　　 B．activities

C．positions　　 D．chances

(　　)50．According to the passage，________ can make your memory better.

A．realizing your memory problems　　 

B．talking to your friends

C．making mind pictures of what you see　　 

D．doing sports every day

B

(　　)51．When will A Cat’s Mind be performed?

A．14－24 August.　　 B．15－23 August.

C．22－24 August.　　 D．14－22 August.

(　　)52．What is the price of an adult ticket for the concert?

A．$80．　　 B．$50．

C．$20．　　 D．$18．

(　　)53．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

C．The video show is presented by the parents.

D．You can buy Fawkins’ latest CD at the concert.

C

Fights at school sometimes happen.But how can you keep away from a fight？Here’s something you can do.

Be calm(冷静)．Sometimes，you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson.But being angry can’t solve problems.Neither can a fight.Instead，it may bring you more problems.In the school，everyone involved(卷入) in a fight will be punished，no matter who started it.There are no winners in a fight.

Shout loudly.If you know someone is coming up behind you to attack，turn towards the person with your hands up in front of your body and say “stop” loudly before walking away.Loud voice can usually make the attacker calm down.If the person doesn’t stop，cry for help by calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.

________Your friend may ask you to join in a fight.Learn to say no.Helping him fight is not really helpful to him.If you really want to give him a hand，try to ask him to give it up.Also，you can tell him if he gets involved in a fight，he may get hurt and be punished.Then，try to know why he wants to fight and help him find a right way to deal with the problem.

(　　)54．The underlined word “attack” in Paragraph 3 means “________” in Chinese.

A．拥抱　　 B．攻击

C．阻止　　 D．吸引

(　　)55．Which of the following sentences can be put in the blank in the last paragraph?

A．Face bravely.　　 B．Join in a fight.

C．Learn to refuse.　　 D．Talk to someone.

(　　)56．The passage is written to ________.

A．help students keep away from fights　　 B．warn students not to fight

C．advise students to help each other　　 D．encourage students to work hard

(　　)57．The passage is written in a(n) ________ tone(语气)．

A．sad　　 B．angry

C．serious　　 D．crazy

D

While I was jumping rope，my smartphone fell to the floor which created cracks(裂缝) on my screen.However，the music kept playing.30 minutes later，I could see only one-tenth of my screen while the rest was black.The next morning，I decided not to use it for 24 hours.I felt a sense of calm that day，which led to my not using it for one week.One week ended up becoming 60 days in total without my smartphone.

Here are some advantages I noticed in this challenge.

—You’ll become “bored”

Without my phone，I became bored，but my mind went through all kinds of topics.Boredom(无聊) is a perfect way to create new ideas on a business or project.When you are bored，you allow your mind to relax to reach all possibilities.

—You’ll be able to reduce your “work” hours

A survey found that adults checked their smartphones 85 times a day，or once every 10 minutes.As I learned in my challenge，by not having my smartphone，I fell into deep work more easily，so I completed my tasks in a shorter time.

—You’ll improve your mental health

Without my phone，I avoided reading negative(负面的) news and comments.While that helped make a big improvement in my mental health，the biggest reason for it was truly communicating with people.It brought me more connections with humans in the real world.I went to more dinners with friends and asked more questions to strangers.

(　　)58．What happened to the writer’s smartphone?

A．It was lost.　　 B．It had no sound.

C．Its music stopped playing.　　 D．Its screen was mostly black.

(　　)59．How long did the writer stop using the phone in the end?

A．For 24 hours.

B．For one week.

C．For one month.

D．For sixty days.

(　　)60．Boredom is a good way for the writer________.

A．to create new ideas

B．to start a business

C．to set up a project

D．to relax the body

(　　)61．What can improve people’s mental health according to the passage?

A．Chatting on the phone.

B．Reading negative news.

C．Communicating with people in the real world.

D．Avoiding meeting friends and strangers.

Sometimes the easiest way to get somewhere is on the back of a bike.

More and more people are using cars in many places in Africa today.However，things are different in Malawi(马拉维)．Bikes are the most popular in this African country.Bike riding is a way of life in Malawi.People use them to carry heavy things.__62__ These years，taking a “bicycle taxi” to travel around Malawi has become quite popular among tourists from all over the world.

__63__ They always wait on the sides of the roads.The riders make the bikes comfortable for passengers to sit on.You can ride a bike taxi and get around at a very low cost.

Science is the best way we have of finding out about the world.

Scientists collect evidence(证据)．They have ideas about the way things work.Science tests those ideas.Sometimes the test will show that the idea is not correct.If the idea passes the test，it adds to our understanding.

Scientists make observations(观察)．They may look，or listen.They may read the work of other scientists.This gives them ideas.You can do this too.You can look around you.You can ask questions.You can plan a test to find out.You can discover something new.

Scientists make predictions.They say something about the future.They might say’if I do this，then I think that will happen’．Isaac Newton was a famous scientist.When he shone white light through a glass prism(三棱镜)，he saw a spectrum(光谱) of different colors.Newton predicted what would happen if he shone the spectrum through a second prism.He thought the colors would come together and he would see white light again.He tried it.He shone a spectrum through a second prism.He was right.The colors made white light.He discovered that white light is made up of many colors.

It’s important to test your ideas.It’s important to plan a fair test.A scientist wondered how a tree grows.Where does all that material come from？Was it from the soil？He planted a young tree in a pot.He weighed the pot，the dry soil and the tree at the start of his test.Years later，the tree had grown tall.It had many branches and leaves.The scientist dug it up.He weighed it.The tree weighed far more than when it was young.Then he weighed the pot and the dry soil.It weighed just a bit less.

Where had all the new tree material come from？He decided that trees use water，and a gas from the air，to grow.
