VI. Reading Comprehension(共50分)
A) Choose the best answer(12分)
Sore throat, running nose, and dizzy (眩晕的) head. Oh, you’ve got the flu! Late autumn and
early winter is flu season. The flu is annoying. It takes weeks to get over. It prevents us from
concentrating (集中注意) in class and having fun on the playground. So can we do anything to
prevent it?
Can exercise help our body fight off a cold or flu? This is a good question, but not easy to
answer. There isn’t any research addressing this question. There was one small study among
college students. But it did not show any difference in the body’s response (反应) to flu vaccine
(流感疫苗) between students who exercised and those who did not. Exercise at the start of a cold
or flu is unlikely to change the course of the illness.
On the other hand, a person who exercises often will be in better physical condition. They
will be more energetic. They may sleep more soundly and therefore be better rested, and may feel
happier and less stressed by a cold or flu. So regular exercise is likely to help a person fight off
colds and the flu.
Because the flu and colds are caused by viruses, frequent hand-washing, keeping your hands
away from your face, and avoiding contact with infected (被感染的) people will all help to
prevent infection. Smoking makes a person more easily infected by viruses, so avoiding smoke is
another way to be protected.
74. _______________is flu season.
A) Early spring and late autumn B) Late autumn and early winter
C) Early autumn and late winter D) Late winter and early spring
75. If you have got the flu, you won’t _______________ .

A) can B) can’t C) must D) mustn’t
77. A person who exercises often will _______________ .
A) sleep less soundly B) be less energetic
C) feel more stressed D) be better rested
78. In order to prevent ourselves from getting the flu, it is not good to____________ .
A) wash hands frequently B) keep hands away from your face
C) avoid contact with infected people D) smoke from time to time
79.The flu ____________.
A) takes a few hours to get over B) can be easily fought off

In one's life, one spends the most time being with oneself. But one has the least
understanding of oneself. When you are successful, you may be very proud. When you 80 , you
may lose heart. If you don't get a thorough understanding of yourself (彻悟自我), you may miss
many chances in life.To get a thorough understanding of yourself is to know well about yourself. You may realize
your strong points and weak ones. You may hope for a wonderful future, but be sure not to expect
too much because you may not realize all of your dreams. You may be confident enough to meet
challenges, but first you should know 81 .

think you are a tall tree or just small grass, but you can always have your own way of being there.

To get a thorough understanding of yourself also means to 83 yourself. When you are
angry, find a quiet place so that you won't be hurt. When you are 84 , tell your friends about it to
change the mood (心情) into a good one. When you are tired, get a good sleep. If you don't know
when and how you should look after yourself, you won’t be able to stay away from illness.

A thousand years ago, Hong Kong was covered by a thick forest. As more and more people
came to live in Hong Kong, these trees were cut down and burnt. Now there is no forest left,
though there are still some small areas covered with trees. We call these “woods”.
Elephants, tigers and many o 86 animals were living in the thick forest. When people came
to live in Hong Kong, the animals began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and r 87 pigs and
chickens in the valleys. They cut down the trees and burnt them. They needed fire to keep t 88
__ warm in winter, to cook their food and to drive away the dangerous animals. Elephants quickly
d 89 because there was not enough food for them. So did most of the wolves and tigers.
You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong e 90 inthe zoos, but
there are still about 36 different animals living there. One of the most lovely of Hong Kong’s
animals is the barking deer. These are beautiful little animals w 91 arich brown coat and a white
patch under the tail. They look like deer but they are much smaller. They are less than two feet
high. They make a noise rather like a dog barking. In Hong Kong the barking deer has only one r
92 enemy – men. People hunt these little animals though it is illegal (违法的). There are now
not many barking deer left. So it is important for people to protect these wild animals.
D)Answer the questions(12分)
The family man?
Father was a hardworking man who tried his best to support his wife and three children. He
spent all his evenings attending classes, hoping to improve himself so that he could one day find a
better-paid job, except for Sundays. Father hardly ate a meal together with his family. He worked
and studied very hard because he wanted to provide his family with the best things that money
could buy.Whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he
reasoned that he was doing all this for them. But he often wished to spend more time with his
family.
The day came when the examination results were announced. To his joy, Father passed with a
good mark! Soon after, he was offered a good job as a senior supervisor (主管), which paid quite
well.
However, the family still did not get to see Father for most of the week. He continued to
work very hard, hoping to get the position of manager. Again, whenever the family complained
that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing everything for
them. But he often wished to spend more time with his family.
Father’s hard work paid off and he was promoted（提升. Excitedly, he decided to hire a maid
so his wife did not have to do the housework any more. He also felt that their three-room flat was
no longer big enough, and it would be nice for his family to be able to enjoy the comfort of
acondominium (公寓). Having experienced the rewards of his hard work many times before,
Father decided to further his studies and work at being promoted again. The family still did not get
to see much of him again.
As expected, Father’s hard work paid off again and he bought a beautiful condominium near
the coast of Singapore. On the first Sunday evening in their new home, Father told his family that
he had decided not to take any more courses or pursue (追求) any more promotions. From then on
he was going to spend more time with his family.
Father did not wake up the next day.
93. Father worked seven days a week, didn’t he?
94. Why did Father work and study hard?
95. What was Father’s first well-paid job?
96. What did the family complain about Father?
97. Where did Father manage to buy a beautiful condominium for his family?
