三、阅读技能 (每小题2 分,共50 分)
A)判断（T=True, F=False）
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. But if he
tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, 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: practise remembering.
( )41. The main reason for one's poor memory is that his parents have poor memories.
( )42. If you don't use your arms or legs for some time, they will become strong.
( )43. A good memory comes from more practice.
( )44. Some people can't read or write, but they have better memories, because they have
saved trouble.
( )45. The best title of this passage is “How to Have a Good Memory”.
B)
Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to
the deserts, so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But
2
more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to
change the deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth.
Some places on the earth don't get much rain. But they still don't become desert. This is
because some green plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very helpful to
dry places. Plants don't let the hot sun make the earth even drier. Plants don't let the wind
blow the earth away. When a little bit of rain falls, the plants hold the water. Without the
plants, the land can become a desert much more easily.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a great man who worked for racial equality (种族平等) and
civil rights (民权) in the United States of America. He was born on January 15, 1929, in
Atlanta, Georgia. Martin had a brother and a sister. Both his father and grandfather were
ministers (部长). His mother was a schoolteacher. She taught him how to read before he went
to school.
Young Martin was a good student in school. He enjoyed reading books, singing, and
playing football and baseball. Martin went to Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia when
he was only 15 years old.
Martin had experiences of racism (种族歧视) early in his life. He decided to do
something to make the world better. After finishing college, Dr King became a minister and
moved to Alabama. During the 1950’s, Dr King did a lot for civil rights and racial equality.
He fought for African-Americans (美国黑人). He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
Dr King was killed on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. To remember him as an

Day”.

Dear friends,
This year, the government of our country will make comments on the civilized cities
again. Our city hopes to keep the “Civilized City”. We know it includes good behavior and
excellent environment. So I want everyone can do something for it. To good behavior, we
should be friendly to others, talk with others politely and help people in trouble. Please don’t
break the traffic rules or talk loudly in public. To excellent environment, I think we can plant
trees, pick up the litter and clean the small ads on the wall. You’d better not waste water or
walk on the grassland.
Thank you for your support.
