三、阅读理解（共4篇20小题；每小题2分，共40分）
A篇
We each have a memory. Thatˊs why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do the again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning languages. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear，remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

B篇
Below are some suggestions given by the English children posted on the website about how to help Africa. Which one do you think is the best?
I think being healthy is the most important thing. We need to make
sure that the money we
give is spent wisely. The money should be spent first on clean
water supplies and better
health care.
— Robin, aged 16, Birmingham
I think the most important thing is to improve the education of the
African countries. There is
an old saying, “If you give a man a fish, you’ll feed him for a day.
If you teach him how to
fish, you’ll feed him for lifetime.” We need to help people to help themselves, not just
throw money at the problem when it appears.
——Rebecca, aged 15, Liverpool
People seem to give a lot more money to charity when there is a sudden, huge disaster (灾难）
like the earthquake. It’s good for people to do so, but I also think
that everyone should
give a small part of their salary(工资）to charity. If everyone did
that, it would make
a big difference.
— Mary, aged 14, Stratford
Giving money to charity can help, but it’s not the final answer. I
think what these countries
need is a good government.
— Bethany, aged 16, Newcastle
The best thing we can do is to send experts like engineers, doctors
and teachers to help the
people to help themselves.
— Robert, aged 16, Cardiff
（）66. Who pays more attention to Africans’ health care?
A. Mary.
B. Robin.
C. Rebecca.
D. Robert.
（）67. Which two children have the similar opinions?
A. Mary and Rebecca.
B. Bethany and Mary.
C. Rebecca and Bethany.
D. Rebecca and Robert.
（）68. What does Rebecca mean by saying “We need to help people to help themselves”?
A. We should help the teachers in Africa to improve their teaching ways.
B. We should help people in Africa to build a good government.
C. We should help the African people develop skills to make a living.
D. We should help the African people build more schools.
（）69. What is Mary’s opinion?
A. Everyone should do what they can to help the African people.
B. It is not good for people to give so much money to the African people.
C. It is very important to have a good government.
D. We can send more teachers there to help the African people.

In almost every big university in the United States football is a favorite sport. American football is not like soccer.Players sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw the ball and run with it. They try to take it to the other end of the field. They have four chances to move the ball ten yards. They can carry it or throw it. If they move it to the end of the field, they receive six points. This is called a touch—down. It is difficult to move the ball. Eleven men on the team try to stop the man who has the ball.
