READING COMPREHENSIONIf you do not use your arms or legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Y et there are many people who do not se em to know that one‟s memory work in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chances to become better. The position is exactly the same as that of two people, one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor vehicle all day.If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. If he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realise that it is just as much his own fault as it was his arms or legs that are weak. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means – practice.Have you ever notices that people who cannot read or write usually have better memory than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because those who cannot read of write have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a notebook. They have to remember dates, times, prices, names, songs, and stories so their memory is in practice all the time.So if you want to have a good memory, what should you do from now on?( )56. Why does a person have a poor memory?A. Because he does not exercise his arms or legs by playing tennis regularlyB. Because he gives his memory too many chances to become strongC. Because he does not exercise his memory regularlyD. Because he sits in a chair or a motor vehicle all day( )57. After reading the passage, if a friend complains that his/her memory is poor, we know that it is __________ fault.A. his ownB. his parents‟C. his arms‟ or legs‟D. his luck‟s( )58. According to the author, who usually have better memories?A. Those who are talented in memorising thingsB. Those who cannot read or writeC. Those who have ordinary bodiesD. Those who always exercise their arms and legs( )59. What should we do if we want to have a good memory?A. T o go in for as many sports as possible.B. T o keep remembering thingsC. T o write down things we should remember in a notebookD. T o improve our strength and our memory at the same time( )60. which of the following is true according to the passage?A.

Along with his sister Rosita and his friend Hugo, Alex had been waiting in the cave for nearly three hours expecting either an attack from the returning robbers or the arrival of a rescue party. But nothing had happened. He and Rosita had had some f ood and a sleep, and now it was Hugo‟s turn to sleep after his meal. Rosita was lying in the entrance to the cave keeping watch on the valley below. Alex threw himself down beside her.…I do hope Ruark is all right,‟ she said, her eyes on the view outside. …I keep hoping I will see him somewhere soon.‟…I‟m sure he‟s ok,‟ answers Alex, …I‟m pretty certain the enemy thought it was a ground attack. Anyway, they were so busy rushing to get away in their car to waste time firing at a condor (秃鹰). I‟m not worried about him. What I am worried about, though, are the words on that tape that was tied to Ruark‟s leg. I keep saying the words to myself: what about the cave? There‟s a two metre hole at the back of it. No-one will find it, there are so many caves…The money they stole is hidden somewhere out there and I should hate them to come back and take it from under our noses.‟…Well,‟ replied his sister, …you heard what the man said. There are so many caves. At a guess, I can see about two hundred of them dotted about. It could take a week to look in them all‟.…Y es, it‟s a clever hiding place, but I think we have one clue that might help us. Ruark was perched (栖息) somewhere near enough for the tape to pick up their voices. He was probably situated just above the entrance. Condors are not exactly tiny birds so he may have been on a shelf or an overhanging rock large enough to take his big fee and body.‟ He half c losed his eyes against the strong light outside and tried to examine the opposite side of the valley.( )67.

Is certain that Ruark will locate the robbers.( )70. What does Alex say will help them locate the cave there the money is hidden?A. Following Ruark when he comes back.B. Watching the robbers when they return to the area.C. Finding a large shelf or overhanging rock above a cave‟s entranceD. Searching for a cave where a condor is likely to nest.( )71.

But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience. One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be surprised, gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, saying “Y ou don‟t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this was not an appropriate topic. So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way have you been there?”“Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was wonderful!“ He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tour guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world. We are very proud of it.”Soon I was interrupted again by his order. “Y ou don‟t say!” I couldn‟t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well I didn‟t ask you to do so” he answered, greatly surprised.“Didn‟t you say …you don‟t say‟?” I said, hearing this, the Engl ishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “Y ou don‟t say actually means …really?‟. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don‟t pay attention to English idioms.”Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.( )74. When I first heard …Y ou don‟t say‟, I thought __________A. The Englishman was not interested in my English studiesB. The Englishman felt sorry that I found it so difficult to study EnglishC. I had talked too muchD. I‟d better change to some other topics instead( )75. Which of the following is true?A. The Englishman left china without seeing the Great Wall.B. The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall so he stopped me from talking about it.C.
