三、阅读理解(本大题共30分,每小题2分)
A
At two o'clock a bank robber stole in. "This is a hold-up," the man said loudly. He took a gun from under his jacket, pointing to George. "Hand it over ! " George reached into his money-box and took all the bills from the top part-close to six thousand dollars. The robber took them and turned to leave. Then, while everyone watched the robber, George calmly lifted the top part of the money-box, took bills from the bottom part and put them into his own pocket secretly. The door was shut and the bank robber was gone. George fainted(晕倒). As soon as he was safely behind his bedroom door, George counted the
money. He had eight thousand dollars. He was very happy.
The next morning, while the others were checking the bank's records, George was asked to go to Mr. Burrow's office and was introduced to Mr. Carruthers, who used to be president of the bank.
"Good morning, George, I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with all the banks being robbed these days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our small bank can be robbed, too. I have retired (退休), but I 'am always thinking of our bank. That's why I played my little game yesterday, just to keep everyone on his toes (趾).
Now, I have put the money back in your money-box all six thousand. "
( )1. Which of the following do you think is TRUE?

Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?
Television has not killed reading, however. Today, lots of newspapers are sold. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Some books with hard covers are expensive, but many books are printed today as paperbooks(平装书) , which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia(百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. And, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems(诗). Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves
and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.
( )5. We can know from the passage that __________.
A. TV programs are an important provider of knowledge
B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information
C. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun
D. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself
( )6. What can we learn from the passage?
A. A good dictionary should be kept in every home.
B. Fewer and fewer people will buy books.
C. Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks.
D. More people like TV programs about famous men.
C
In every school there is a "top" crowd that sets the pace(榜样), while the others follow their lead. Let’s say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear-bright red sweaters. Very soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that bright red is not suitable on some people at all. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at 70 miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are causing danger to people's lives. They are like sheep being led to the slaughter(屠宰场).
Perhaps you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, "The crowd does it." Well, let the crowd do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say, "No." Make your own judgements(判断). If you know the crowd is planning something with which you disagree, have the courage to leave them politely. You’ll have the satisfaction(满足)of standing on your own feet.
( )7. The writer disagrees with wearing red sweaters if __________.
A. the crowd is wearing them
B. you don’t look good in red
C. you can’t afford them
D. there are no school rules
( )8. The writer tells the readers to __________.
A. obey(服从)their parents
B. take the advice of their elders
C. do what they think to be right
D. do whatever they want
( )9. People who blindly follow the "top" crowd __________.
A. are rebels(叛徒)without a cause
B. will lose friends
C. have no respect(尊重)for their parents ,
D. sometimes don't follow their own judgements which may be better
( )10. The main idea of this passage is that
A. in every school there is a "top" crowd that sets the pace
B. it is a mistake to follow the "top" crowd blindly
C. at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong
D. you should have the courage to leave them politely when you disagree with what
the "top" crowd is planning
( )11. Which is the best title for this passage?
A. On Being Yourself
B. The "Top" Crowd
C. Follow the Lead
D. Rules for Young People
D
As infants(婴儿), we live without a sense of the past; as adults, we can remember events that happened many years ago. Scientists have not a very clear understanding of this change, when our sense of time develops and we can tell the difference between this morning's food and last week's. Now Conor Liston of Harvard University has found that our sense of the past begins between the ninth and the seventeenth month of a baby's life, coinciding(一致) with changes in the memory-processing parts of the brain(大脑) and this finding can help us understand more about our sense.
"It wasn’t clear how long children in the first year of life could remember an event," Liston says. He showed a simple picture to infants ages 9, 17, or 24 months old. The test results showed a big difference between the children who had been 9 months old when they saw the first picture and those who had been older. "While 9-month-olds don’t really remember a thing after four months, 17-and 24-month-olds do." Liston says, "Something is happening in the brain between 9 and 17 months old." Researchers think that changes in some parts of the brain help the development of the memory. Studies scientists did before have shown that a man-s frontal lobe(额叶)begins to mature(成熟)during the last quarter of the first year of life.
Liston's work may help explain why adults can hardly remember anything from before their second birthday or so. "But it’s not clear why a 40-year-old has plenty of memories for something that happened 20 years ago, but a 20-year-old has no memories for something that happened when he was 2 or 3," Liston says. Researchers still need to look at other areas of cognition(认知)---such as what role language ability plays in memory-to really fully understand why people can’t remember anything that happened before 2-3 years of age. But one thing is clear: When one-year-old Tom announces he doesn't remember breaking the glass five months ago, he-s almost surely telling the truth.
( ) 12. Conor Liston __________.
A. has only an unclear understanding of infants' poor memory
B. has proved a theory (理论)about memory development
C. has found the parts of the brain having connections with memory-processing
D. has found something more about the parts of long-term memory
( )13. According to Liston, the changes in the brain between __________help the development of memory.
A.1 and 9 months old
B.9 and 17 months old
C.17 and 24 months old
D.2 to 3 years old
( )14. According to this passage, it is normal that __________.
A. a one-year-old cannot remember what has happened one month ago
B. a 20-year-old can remember what happened when he was two
C. a 20-year-old fails to remember what has happened one month ago
D. a 40-year-old has few memories for an event that happened 20 years ago
( )15. The best title for this passage should be __________.
A. Liston’s Testing
B. Forgetting and Memory
C. Man’s Memory
D. The Role Language Ability Plays in Memory

Behave well during the travel
Huaguo Mountain is a famous tourist attraction in Lianyungang. Every year many tourists come here to enjoy its beautiful scenery. But a few years ago, a lot of bad behaviors happened quite often during the travel. Some threw littles, painted on the walls, and spit on the ground everywhere. Some picked flowers, destroyed trees and hurt animals. And even worse, some smoked in the woods. How dangerous!
Luckily, things have changed now. Rubbish is always put into dustbins. People are friendly to animals. Nobaby smokes around the woods and places of interest are well kept. All these changes make us happy.
As a student, I think we should know it’s our duty to protect the environment. In order to make Huaguo Mountain and our city more beautiful, let’s behave well and try our best to help fight (against) bad behaviors!。
