VII. 閱讀理解：讀A、B兩篇短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案；讀C篇短文，將其選項中的五個句子還原到短文當中。 共15小題，計30分。
A
Bargaining
is the rule here in
DO NOT say how much you want to pay for an item(物品) unless it’s near the end of the bargaining. Always try and drop the seller's offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price.
DO throw out really low prices like 10 RMB with a big smile.
DO keep smiling from the beginning to the end. The seller usually continues bargaining with a happy smiling face. Getting angry hardly gets you the price you want.
KEEP in mind the price offered by the seller at the beginning is usually at least 40% over the generally reasonable price. It can be up to 500% over.
DO have an idea of what the item costs. You can ask your friends, people in the hotel or others you know, or look at the list below. This is very general and is based(根據(jù)) on a market like Xiu Shui. You may not be able to get the lowest prices at Xiu Shui, especially on a weekend when there are lots of tourists around.
56. Who is this passage written for?
A.
Owners of back-street shops. B.
Businessmen in
C. Those
who are good at bargaining. D.
Those who travel in
57. What is the topic the writer is mainly talking about in this passage?
A. Beijing markets. B. Bargaining tips.
C. Lowest price s. D. Seller’s offer.
58. What is the most important thing to do in bargaining with the seller?
A. Keep smiling. B. Be patient.
C. Don’t get angry. D. Don’t say anything.
59. What is NOT included in the tips often used to bargain
in

C. The price range (范圍) for you to bargain is usually between 40% and 500%.
D. Xiu Shui Market is the biggest shopping center where prices are always reasonable.
B
Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes(基因)decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall you're going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.
But genes don't decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潛力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.
No doubt(懷疑) you're wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There's no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up).
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you're at now, how you've been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.
Don't be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt（高峰）during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later ------between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.
You'll usually begin to notice that you're growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.
61. The Chinese for the word “puberty” is __________.
A. 童年時期 B.嬰幼兒時期 C.習慣養(yǎng)成期 D. 生長發(fā)育期
62. If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, ____________.
A. you should have enough exercise B. you can ask doctors for help
C. you should save the environment D. You can record your growth during puberty
63. This passage is mainly about ____________.
A. how the genes work in your body B. when is the time you grow fast
C. why you look like your parents D. how you grow to a certain height
64. After reading this passage, we can explain ___________.
A. how good it is to be a doctor B. how much sleep time we need
C. why genes can’t decide everything D. what healthy diet is
65. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Your height most probably depends on how high your parents are.
B. Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys’.
C. The time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed.
D. You may be scared sometimes when you grow too fast.
C
A. running away is anything B. they often find them in risky situations
C. it may be natural D. these kids are more easily to get affected(感染)
E. no one cares about them F. you probably imagine
When you think about running away, (66) __________ that there will be no more rules, no parent to tell you what to do, no more fights. Sounds great and exciting, right? In fact, (67) __________ but fun. Kids who run away face new problems like not having any money, food to eat, a safe place to sleep, or anyone to take care of them.
People with no home and no money become ready to do anything just to meet their everyday needs. Because of this, (68) __________ that would be terrible even for adults. Runaway kids join in dangerous crimes(犯罪) much more often than kids who live at home.
Kids who live on the streets often have to steal(偷) for a living. Many take drugs to get through the day because they become so sad and feel that (69) __________. Some are forced(被迫) to do things they wouldn't normally do to make money. The number of kids with HIV or AIDS and other diseases is higher on streets, too, because (70) __________. This problem is attracting more and more attention.

WHY IS THE SUN IMPORTANT？
The sun is a huge, hot, bright star. It is important because without it there would be no life on Earth. The sun gives us light and heat.
All living things need light and heat from the sun to live. Plants need light and heat to grow. They use the light from the sun to make food. We cannot make our own food, but plants can. All the food we eat comes from plants in a food chain(鏈)which starts with the sun. For example,

“How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you’ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says you’re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.
This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you’ll find it not half so hard as you might have thought. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English.
Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue, instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.
64. In the writer’s opinion, the most effective way in learning English is ____.
A. to practise speaking, writing and feeling it
B. to forget your own native language
C. to translate everything into his own language
D. to memorize the English words and grammatical rules
65. “Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way.” This sentence means that memorizing your own language can ________.
A. help you to study English well B. stop you learning English well
C. make English easy to learn D. help you notice mistakes
66. Equally important is to feel the language. “to feel the language” here means________.
A. to get a knowledge of English by touching
B. to be able to read and write English
C. to translate English into your own by imagining
D. to be able to understand and enjoy the language

It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade（消退）, or so we thought. We bought her a lovely doll, and a doll house. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she said that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else.” But it was just too late. With such a lot of preparations to do for the Christmas dinner we did not have the time to buy our little girl a bike. So, here we were Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., with Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, sleeping in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. “What if I make a little bicycle out of clay (泥) and write a note that she could trade（交易，交換 ） the clay bike in for a real bike?” her dad asked. So he spent the next four hours making a tiny clay bike. On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little gift box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud. “Does this mean that I can trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?” I said, “Yes.” Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I'd rather keep this than get a real bike.” At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle in the world!
71. Choose the right time order of the following events.
a. The girl asked for a new bike.
b. The girl opened the little gift box.
c. The parents bought the girl a modern and popular doll.
d. The father made the girl a bike with clay.
e. The girl would rather keep the clay bike than get a real one.
A. a, b, c, e, d B. a, c, d, b, e
C. a, c, b, d, e D. a, b, d, c, e
72. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The parents wanted the girl to have the clay bike for ever.
B. Tears were in the girl's eyes because she didn't like the present at all.
C. The girl never lost her desire for a bike.
D. The parents paid little attention to the daughter's desire for a bike.
73. Why did Dad make the clay bicycle?
A. He wanted his daughter to buy a real one.
B. He didn't want to disappoint his daughter.
C. He thought his daughter would like it.
D. He wanted to give his daughter a surprise.
74. What can we know from the last sentence?
A. The parents were sad and encouraged.
B. The parents felt nervous and shy.
C. The parents were moved and felt proud of the girl
D. The parents felt unhappy for the girl.
75. Which do you think is the best title （標題）for the story?

After about an hour, a middle-aged man ran to the young man in a hurry and said, “It’s you! You do come here.

Later, someone asked the young man, “You play the violin in the railway station every day to make money. Why didn’t you just take the prize of the lottery ticket for yourself?” The young man said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily. But if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever.”

Modern zoos are different from old zoos of fifty years ago. In old zoos people could see animals from many parts of the world. The animals lived in cages. The zoo keepers(飼養(yǎng)員) took good care of them, but many of the animals did not feel well, and they often fell ill.
In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural conditions(自然條件). The animals are free in larger places. Trees and grass grow in cages and water runs through the places. There is often a deep pool filled with water in it. In an American zoo, visitors can see some small animals and many birds when they walk through a big special cage, and it is large enough for the birds to live naturally.
Modern zoos not only show animals to visitors, but also keep and save rare(稀罕的) animals. For this reason, people in the future will still be able to enjoy watching these animals.

What do you think of the most important inventions in the world? The TV? The printing? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that they are not the only important inventions. Here are three other important inventions.
One of the simplest inventions is the toilet(廁所). Before toilets, waste ran into rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another important invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter. After hay(干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.
The third great invention is glasses. Glasses help people read, write and do “close work” after the age of 45. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above 45.
