举一反三

阅读理解。    If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak. When you start using them
again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that
memory works in the same way.
    When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by
using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough
chance to become strong.
    If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault (过错). But if he tells us
that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to be blamed (责备), and few of us know
that it is just his own fault.
    Have you ever found that some people can"t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is
because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little
notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being
exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering. 1. Which of the following is right? [     ]
A. Your arms or your legs will become weak when you use them.
B. Your memory works in the same way as your arms and legs.
C. Everybody knows that memory works in the same way as their arms and legs.
D. Your memory can"t become strong again when you use them again. 2. If you want to have a good memory, you must ______. [     ]
A. practice it
B. not give it enough chance to become strong
C. have clever parents
D. use your arms and legs often 3. One has a bad memory because of ______. [     ]
A. his own fault
B. his parents" fault
C. his teachers" fault
D. his strong arms and legs 4. Many people who can"t read and write can remember things well because ______. [     ]
A. they have to remember
B. they can"t write them down
C. they practice remembering
D. they can remember things quickly 5. The writer tells us ______. [     ]
A. a good memory comes from practice
B. a good memory needs strong arms and legs
C. parents can make us clever
D. to remember days, names and songs

阅读理解。     It"s over three years since I began to learn English. I am glad that I am getting on well with it.
     I find English quite difficult, but very interesting. When I first started, I thought I had only to remember
the new words and learn some grammars. I know little about English idioms (习语). I thought each English
word has the same meaning in Chinese. When I learned to say "I see a book on the desk", I thought the
English word "see" was just like the Chinese word "kan". So one day when my teacher asked me, "What are
you doing?" I answered, "I"m seeing a book." "That"s wrong." The teacher said. "You don"t see a book. You
read a book. You can"t use an English word like a Chinese one. Be sure not to make the same mistake again."
     After that I began to pay more attention to the differences between Chinese and English. For example, in
English we say a "high mountain", but a "tall man". In Chinese we use the same word "gao" for both. Again
in English we say "take part in the sports meeting", "attend a meeting" and "join the army", while in Chinese
we can use "can jia" for all three. Interesting, isn"t it?
     So to study English doesn"t only mean hard work, it can be great fun, too! We not only have to pay
attention to pronunciation, grammar, spelling and handwriting, we also have to understand English idiom. We
can learn English well only in that way!
     But all this is only a beginning and I still have a long way to go. I"ll try my best and work even harder than
before. I must speak and listen to English more both in and out of class. I must learn English well so that I
work well when I grow up. 1. I have learned English for ______ years. [     ]
A. one
B. five
C. three
D. more than three 2. When I first started English I ______. [     ]
A. knew more English words
B. knew some English idioms
C. used an English word like a Chinese one
D. found English easy and interesting 3. I began to pay more attention to the differences between Chinese and English ______. [     ]
A. when I began to learn English
B. when I said "I see book on the desk"
C. before I began to learn English
D. after the teacher told me not to use an English word like a Chinese one 4. We should speak and listen to English ______. [     ]
A. only in class
B. out of class
C. both in and out of class
D. either in or out of class 5. To study English well, we have to ______. [     ]
A. remember the new words and learn some grammars
B. know the differences between Chinese and English
C. pay attention to pronunciation, spelling, handwriting and idioms
D. do all the above things

阅读理解。     Many students of English think that learning a new language is very difficult. Now think how difficult it
is to learn English when your brain is only the size of a bird"s brain! That is what some birds can do.
     Many different kinds of birds can copy the sounds of language. African grey parrots are the best known
for this.
     Every December in London, the National Cage and Aviary Bird Show tries to find the best "talking" bird
in the world. One bird named Prudle stood out among the "talking birds". She won this prize for 12 years
from 1965 to 1976.
    Prudle was taken from her nest in Uganda in 1958. She was sold to Iris Frost in Seaford, England. Prudle
knew almost 800 words in English.
     Prudle was also the oldest bird in the world that lived in a cage. Ms. Frost took care of the bird until
Prudle died in 1994. Prudle was 35 years old.
     A different kind of bird, not a parrot, named Puck was tested in 1993. It turned out that Puck knew more
English words than Prudle knew. Puck knew more than 1,700 words.
   If a bird can do it, anybody can do it. 1. What kind of birds is the most famous for speaking? [     ]
A. African grey parrots.
B. The birds with big brains.
C. The birds in cages.
D. English parrots. 2. What dose the word "stand out" mean in this passage? [     ]
A. 站出来
B. 飞起来
C. 脱颖而出
D. 取出来 3. How many years did Prudle win the speaking competition for birds? [     ]
A. 35 years.
B. 12 years.
C. 55 years.
D. 8 years. 4. Puck was better than Prudle because ______. [     ]
A. he could fly higher
B. he knew more words
C. he spoke faster
D. he was bigger 5. Who was Iris Frost? [     ]

阅读理解。    The Italian island of Sardinia recently lost its oldest person. Family members say Antonio Todde died in
his sleep early this month. Mr Todde was 112 years old. He was less than three weeks away from his 113th
birthday. Record-keeping experts say he was the world"s oldest man.
     His long life and that of other very old Sardinians are the subjects of a scientific project (项目) called
Akea. Luca Deiana of Sassari University is directing (指导) the study. He says the name Akea comes from
a traditional greeting (问候) on Sardinia. It means "health and life for 100 years." Professor Deiana and his
team started to collect information for the study in 1997. They identified (确定)) more than 220 Sardinians
who were centenarians-100 years old or older. His team needed three documents to make sure a person"s
age. They were a government (政府) birth record, a church record and a statement (声明) by a close family
member.
     The Akea study has produced two major findings. The first is Sardinia"s extremely high number of
centenarians. The island has about 135 centenarians for every one million people. In other Western countries,
the average (平均数) is about seventy-five centenarians for every one million people. The second major
finding is an unusual rate (率) of female (女性) to male (男性) centenarians. Sardinia has two women
centenarians for every male centenarian. In central Sardinia there are the same numbers of female and male
centenarians.
     Studies in other parts of the world have shown a much higher percentage (百分比) of female centenarians.
The Akea study collected information about the health and food of about 140 of the centenarians. About
ninety percent of those in the study also agreed to provide blood (血) for scientific testing. The study team
hopes to identify genetic (基因) material in the blood that can be linked to successful aging. Study leaders
say there is no single reason why people on Sardinia live so long. They believe the answer is a combination
(组合) of genetic and environmental conditions (条件). 1. Centenarians are people who are ______ years old. [     ]
A．200
B．100
C．300
D．400 2. Akea is a scientific project about ______.[     ]
A．Mr Todde"s death
B．the long life of Sardinians
C．Sassari university
D．Professor Deiana 3. What is the general idea of the third paragraph? [     ]
A．Sardinia has a large number of centenarians.
B．An unusual rate of female to male centenarians.
C．Two major findings of the Akea study.
D．Sardinia has equal numbers of female and male centenarians. 4. Why do Sardinians live so long according to the study? [     ]
A．Because the environment on Sardinia is very good.
B．Because they have special genetic material in their blood.
C．Because they have a glass of wine every day.
D．Because they enjoy special genetic and environmental conditions.
