Ⅲ  閱讀理解

    第一節(jié)   閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內容完成短文后的問題。

A

      " USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?" We often hear such discussions. As China opens it doors, studying aboard has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world.

      It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills will improve and it may be easier to find jobs.

      But there arc problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to different culture.

      Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of things they haven't had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.

      Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden(重擔) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?

     We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympics. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, consider whether studying abroad is the right choice(選擇).

36. From the passage, we learn that many Chinese students dream about studying abroad to_________

     A. taste a new life                    B. make a lot of money

     C. learn about the world               D. learn to look after themselves

37. The writer thinks_________ should be considered first before students study abroad.

     A. Chinese teachers are better that American ones

     B. studying abroad is not the right choice

     C. people can also be successful in Chimed if they work hard

     D. Liu Xiang was a gold medal winner

39. Which of the following is NOT true?

     A. Studying abroad will cost students' families a lot of money.

     B. Studying abroad will make it easy for students to learn well.

     C. Studying abroad will help students to improve language skills.

     D. Studying abroad will bring students a lot of difficulties in their life.

40. This passage is mainly about ____

     A. the question of studying abroad      B. the dream of studying abroad

     C. the choice of studying abroad        D. the story of studying abroad

B

     Air is a kind of colorless, tasteless and invisible (看不見的) gas that is around us. An "empty" drinking glass and an "empty" room, in face, are not really empty. Each is full of air. When the glass is filled with water, the water pushes the air out of the glass.

     Air, as a kind of gas, has no definite(一定的) shape. But because it is matter, it takes up space and it has weight. It is easy to prove that air is something that takes up space. Stuff a piece of dry cloth into the bottom of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside down. Push the upside- down glass, holding straight up and down, into jar(罐) of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of the water, the cloth is still dry. The air inside the glass shows that it takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.
