There are many good things about 39 in the Third World.Take the close and constant(忠实的)relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbours for example.In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between 40 and children.But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices. 41 , the child sees mother and father, relations and neighbours working 42 and often shares in that work.?
A child 43 in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community’s 44 :helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies—rather than 45 playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets 46 playing with dolls.?
These children may grow up with a less oppressive(压抑的)sense of space and time than the 47 children.Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky.Children in the rich world, 48 ,are provided with a watch as one of the 49 signs of growing up, so that they can 50 along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows...?

38.B 此处应用one child in five意为“五分之一”。也可表示为one child out of five。
39.A 此处说明第三世界的儿童的童年有很多好的东西，然后进行举例。
40.A 该句指西方国家人们工作的性质使成人和孩子们产生了距离。adults涵盖了父母、亲属、邻居等与孩子们相对的“成人”。
41.C instead意为“而是”，与前面西方国家的情况形成了对照。

54.C 前面主要讲述了第三世界儿童成长的好处和发达国家儿童成长的不足，最后作者一分为二地看问题，也不得不承认第三世界的不足，那就是贫穷和疾病每年都夺去很多儿童的生命，所以此处用Of course表示“当然”。
55.A 第三世界虽然贫穷，但并非一无是处，儿童的成长并不总是很糟糕，而是有很多长处。

●A?
For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing.These deaf people were not able to use a spoken language.?
But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language.Using this language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others.The language they used was a language without sound.It was a sign ?language.??
How did this sign language work The deaf were taught to make certain movements using their hands, faces, and bodies.These movements stood for things and ideas.People might move their forefingers across their lips.This meant, “You are not telling the truth.” They might tap their chins(下巴)with three fingers.This meant “my uncle”.?
The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet(字母表).They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet.In this way, they spelled out words.Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute.Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were.Today, the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips.They are also taught how to speak.
56.Why were people unable to communicate with the deaf people many years ago
A.Because the deaf people couldn’t hear.
B.Because they were taught to use a finger alphabet.
C.Because they couldn’t use a spoken language.
D.Because they could only spell several letters.

A.Sign Language
B.Deaf People
C.A Special Language

57.D 由上下文可知，此处指手势语的动作“代表”东西和人们的想法。
58.A 综观全文，文章主要还是介绍没有听觉的人所使用的手势语。
●B
A special laboratory at the University of Chicago is busy only at night.It is a dream laboratory where ?researchers? are at work studying dreamers.Their findings have proved that everyone dreams from three to seven times a night,although in ordinary life person may remember none or only one of his dreams.?
While the subjects—usually students—sleep,special machines record their brain waves and eye movements as well as the body movements that signal（信号显示）the end of a dream.Surprisingly,all subjects sleep soundly.?
Observers report that a person usually fidgets（烦躁不安）before a dream.Once the dream has started,his body relaxes and his eyes become more active,as if the curtain had gone up on a show.As soon as the machine shows that the dream is over,a buzzer（电铃声）wakens the sleeper.He sits up,records his dream,and goes back to sleep—perhaps to dream some more.?

Long ago,men knew of a few things that could cause a kind of sleep,but these ?anaesthetics?（麻醉剂）were weak.They could not be given in too large amounts because they often caused death.If only a little were given,the sick men could still feel pain.So these old anaesthetics were almost useless.Operations without anaesthetics had usually to be done while the sick men could feel all the pain.?
Any operation in those old days was very difficult.The doctor had to work while the sick man’s body moved nearly all the time.As the body was cut open,it tried to turn from side to side.How could a doctor do any operation carefully and quickly in conditions like these We also remembered that the open cuts were not kept clean,and that even the doctor’s clothes were usually very dirty,we were not surprised to hear of a large number of deaths.?
Today,however,we need not worry about feeling pain during the operation.There are kinds of anaesthetics which can easily cause the sick man to fall into a kind of sleep,and when he wakes,the operation is finished.A man can,in some operations,talk about his life’s experiences to a friend while the doctors are cutting open the lower part of his body.One doctor even managed to cut off his own leg.
64.From the first paragraph we can know that in the old days operations were usually done without____________.
A.pains B.doctors
C.anaesthetics D.machines
65.The reason for a large number of deaths was that____________.
A.the open cuts were not kept clean
B.the doctor’s clothes were usually very dirty

D.both A and B
66.Today people don’t____________because of having good anaesthetics.
A.feel any pain during operations

答案：64.C 由本文第一段最后一句可知。
65.D 由第二段最后一句可知，大量病人死亡是因为伤口处和医生衣服不卫生?所致。?
66.A 由本文第三段第一句可知。
67.C 本文主要谈的是古代麻醉药和现代麻醉药的差别。
●D
Ask Steveland Morris and he’ll tell you that blindness is not necessarily disabling.Steveland was born earlier than expected time and totally without sight in 1950.He became Stevie Wonder—composer, singer, and pianist.The winner of ten Grammy awards, Stevie is widely admired for his great contributions to the music world.?
As a child, Stevie learned not to think about the things he could not do, but to fix his attention on the things that he could do.His parents encouraged him to join his sighted brothers in as many activities as possible.They also helped him to sharpen his sense of hearing, the sense upon which the visually disabled are so dependent.?
Because sound was so important to him, Stevie began at an early age to experiment with different kinds of sound.He would bang(敲)things together and then imitate the sound with his voice.Often depending on sound for entertainment, he sang, beat on toy drums, played a toy harmonica, and listened to radio.?
Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments, he first learned to play the drums.He then mastered the harmonica and the piano.He became a member of the junior church choir(合唱团)and a lead singer.In the evenings and on weekends, Stevie would play different instruments and sing popular songs in the front of neighbors’ homes.?
One of Stevie’s recordings was overheard by Ronnie White, a member of a popular singing group called The Miracles.Ronnie immediately recognized Stevie’s gift and took him to audition(试音)for Berry Gordy, the president of Histville USA, a large recording company now is known as Motown.Stevie recorded his first hit“Fingertips” in 1962 at the age of twelve, and the rest of Stevie’s story is music history.
68.By saying“Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments”, the author means that____________.
A.Stevie started to play real instruments
B.Stevie gave up all his toy instruments and began to buy real instruments
C.Stevie began to study in a real instruments school

69.To whom did Steveland should owe his success

C.His teachers.
D.His parents, brothers and Ronnie White.
70.The best title for this passage might be____________.
A.Stevie Wonder
B.Great Musicians
C.Blind People
D.The Music World
答案：68.A 由第三段可知，Stevie原先只是敲打、演奏一些玩具乐器，第四段则说到他开始敲打、演奏真的乐器，所以答案为?A项。?
69.D 文章第二段讲到了小时候父母和兄弟们对他的帮助，第五段讲到了Ronnie White独具慧眼发现了他的天赋，并把他引见给了一家大的唱片公司，这些人都是他应该感激的人，所以答案为D项。

We have admitted the fact that verbal(言语的)and mathematical thinking are given a lot of attention at school and college, while thinking using the right side of the brain, is not given very much attention.However, we also have discovered that it is rather important to encourage people to make full use of their powers of visual imagery(影像).Then how do we develop our visual thinking Here are some techniques.?
See actions and movements in your mind’s eye.Try to imagine these actions:You arrive home, you go to your door, put your key in the lock and open the door.You take off your coat.You go into the kitchen and you make yourself a drink.Could you see these actions in you mind’s eye It is a useful technique and one which can be improved with practice.?
Hear, smell, taste and touch...in your mind.Try to close your eyes and see if you can hear, feel, taste and smell in your mind.Imagine pulling one rope.You hear the roar of the sea.Your bare feet are on the hot sand.The taste of salt is in the air.Now you are no longer pulling;you are waving.The hot, soft sand is changing into hard,rough concrete(混凝土).The sea no longer roars;you hear screaming tires(轮胎)of cars before they hit something.With practice, we can make enough use of our ability to imagine the whole range of our senses(感觉).?
Create new objects and actions.Creative people must be able to imagine objects, people and scenes.They must also be able to imagine new combinations(结合体)and relations.Imagine a washing machine.You open the door and clothes fly out one after another.They dance in the air in front of you.Can you see this Describe the washing to a friend.?
All of us can do these things to achieve creative thinking, if we want.

答案：71.C 由文章第一句话可知，学校里，重视言语思维和数学思维，而对于使用右脑的直观思维却不够注意，由此推断，学校教育重视运用左脑。
72.A 由第二段可知，要用脑海里的眼睛看到动作，就应该是想像到家、到门口、把钥匙放进锁里、开门等细微动作。
73.C 由第三段可知，roar用来形容你听到的大海的声音，这种声音应该是很大且连续不断的，即我们常说的“咆哮”。
74.A 由第四段可知，人们要想获得创造性思维，就需要能在脑海中想像和创造新的东西。

The students of Class 3 had a discussion ?about? whether it was necessary to start learning English from childhood.Some of them thought that English learning should start from childhood.As little boys and girls had a very good memory,they could learn a lot of English words by heart.This would help them lay a solid foundation for their future English learning.But others did not agree.Young children had to learn Chinese pinyin at school.If they studied Chinese pinyin and English at the same time,it would be very easy for them to mix them up.This would do a lot of harm not only to their Chinese learning but also to their future English learning.In short,the students had not arrived at any agreement yet.

There are many good things about 39 in the Third World.Take the close and constant(忠实的)relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbours for example.In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between 40 and children.But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices. 41 , the child sees mother and father, relations and neighbours working 42 and often shares in that work.?
A child 43 in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community’s 44 :helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies—rather than 45 playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets 46 playing with dolls.?
These children may grow up with a less oppressive(压抑的)sense of space and time than the 47 children.Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky.Children in the rich world, 48 ,are provided with a watch as one of the 49 signs of growing up, so that they can 50 along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows...?

50.A care about意为“关心，在意”。
51.C 该句表示第三世界的儿童通常“不必”待在家里。don’t have to表示?“不必”。?

53.A 该句指而不是在高楼里“急切地”关注着孩子。
54.C 前面主要讲述了第三世界儿童成长的好处和发达国家儿童成长的不足，最后作者一分为二地看问题，也不得不承认第三世界的不足，那就是贫穷和疾病每年都夺去很多儿童的生命，所以此处用Of course表示“当然”。
55.A 第三世界虽然贫穷，但并非一无是处，儿童的成长并不总是很糟糕，而是有很多长处。

●A?
For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing.These deaf people were not able to use a spoken language.?
But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language.Using this language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others.The language they used was a language without sound.It was a sign ?language.??
How did this sign language work The deaf were taught to make certain movements using their hands, faces, and bodies.These movements stood for things and ideas.People might move their forefingers across their lips.This meant, “You are not telling the truth.” They might tap their chins(下巴)with three fingers.This meant “my uncle”.?
The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet(字母表).They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet.In this way, they spelled out words.Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute.Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were.Today, the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips.They are also taught how to speak.
56.Why were people unable to communicate with the deaf people many years ago
A.Because the deaf people couldn’t hear.
B.Because they were taught to use a finger alphabet.
C.Because they couldn’t use a spoken language.
D.Because they could only spell several letters.

A.Sign Language
B.Deaf People
C.A Special Language

A special laboratory at the University of Chicago is busy only at night.It is a dream laboratory where ?researchers? are at work studying dreamers.Their findings have proved that everyone dreams from three to seven times a night,although in ordinary life person may remember none or only one of his dreams.?
While the subjects—usually students—sleep,special machines record their brain waves and eye movements as well as the body movements that signal（信号显示）the end of a dream.Surprisingly,all subjects sleep soundly.?

Researchers have found that if the dreamer is wakened immediately after his dream,he can usually recall（回忆）the entire dream.If he is allowed to sleep even five more ?minutes?,his memory of the dream will have disappeared.

●C?
Long ago,men knew of a few things that could cause a kind of sleep,but these ?anaesthetics?（麻醉剂）were weak.They could not be given in too large amounts because they often caused death.If only a little were given,the sick men could still feel pain.So these old anaesthetics were almost useless.Operations without anaesthetics had usually to be done while the sick men could feel all the pain.?
Any operation in those old days was very difficult.The doctor had to work while the sick man’s body moved nearly all the time.As the body was cut open,it tried to turn from side to side.How could a doctor do any operation carefully and quickly in conditions like these We also remembered that the open cuts were not kept clean,and that even the doctor’s clothes were usually very dirty,we were not surprised to hear of a large number of deaths.?
Today,however,we need not worry about feeling pain during the operation.There are kinds of anaesthetics which can easily cause the sick man to fall into a kind of sleep,and when he wakes,the operation is finished.A man can,in some operations,talk about his life’s experiences to a friend while the doctors are cutting open the lower part of his body.One doctor even managed to cut off his own leg.

Ask Steveland Morris and he’ll tell you that blindness is not necessarily disabling.Steveland was born earlier than expected time and totally without sight in 1950.He became Stevie Wonder—composer, singer, and pianist.The winner of ten Grammy awards, Stevie is widely admired for his great contributions to the music world.?
As a child, Stevie learned not to think about the things he could not do, but to fix his attention on the things that he could do.His parents encouraged him to join his sighted brothers in as many activities as possible.They also helped him to sharpen his sense of hearing, the sense upon which the visually disabled are so dependent.?
Because sound was so important to him, Stevie began at an early age to experiment with different kinds of sound.He would bang(敲)things together and then imitate the sound with his voice.Often depending on sound for entertainment, he sang, beat on toy drums, played a toy harmonica, and listened to radio.?
Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments, he first learned to play the drums.He then mastered the harmonica and the piano.He became a member of the junior church choir(合唱团)and a lead singer.In the evenings and on weekends, Stevie would play different instruments and sing popular songs in the front of neighbors’ homes.?
One of Stevie’s recordings was overheard by Ronnie White, a member of a popular singing group called The Miracles.Ronnie immediately recognized Stevie’s gift and took him to audition(试音)for Berry Gordy, the president of Histville USA, a large recording company now is known as Motown.Stevie recorded his first hit“Fingertips” in 1962 at the age of twelve, and the rest of Stevie’s story is music history.

B.Great Musicians

答案：68.A 由第三段可知，Stevie原先只是敲打、演奏一些玩具乐器，第四段则说到他开始敲打、演奏真的乐器，所以答案为?A项。?
69.D 文章第二段讲到了小时候父母和兄弟们对他的帮助，第五段讲到了Ronnie White独具慧眼发现了他的天赋，并把他引见给了一家大的唱片公司，这些人都是他应该感激的人，所以答案为D项。

We have admitted the fact that verbal(言语的)and mathematical thinking are given a lot of attention at school and college, while thinking using the right side of the brain, is not given very much attention.However, we also have discovered that it is rather important to encourage people to make full use of their powers of visual imagery(影像).Then how do we develop our visual thinking Here are some techniques.?
See actions and movements in your mind’s eye.Try to imagine these actions:You arrive home, you go to your door, put your key in the lock and open the door.You take off your coat.You go into the kitchen and you make yourself a drink.Could you see these actions in you mind’s eye It is a useful technique and one which can be improved with practice.?
Hear, smell, taste and touch...in your mind.Try to close your eyes and see if you can hear, feel, taste and smell in your mind.Imagine pulling one rope.You hear the roar of the sea.Your bare feet are on the hot sand.The taste of salt is in the air.Now you are no longer pulling;you are waving.The hot, soft sand is changing into hard,rough concrete(混凝土).The sea no longer roars;you hear screaming tires(轮胎)of cars before they hit something.With practice, we can make enough use of our ability to imagine the whole range of our senses(感觉).?
Create new objects and actions.Creative people must be able to imagine objects, people and scenes.They must also be able to imagine new combinations(结合体)and relations.Imagine a washing machine.You open the door and clothes fly out one after another.They dance in the air in front of you.Can you see this Describe the washing to a friend.?
All of us can do these things to achieve creative thinking, if we want.

参考范文：?
The students of Class 3 had a discussion ?about? whether it was necessary to start learning English from childhood.Some of them thought that English learning should start from childhood.As little boys and girls had a very good memory,they could learn a lot of English words by heart.This would help them lay a solid foundation for their future English learning.But others did not agree.Young children had to learn Chinese pinyin at school.If they studied Chinese pinyin and English at the same time,it would be very easy for them to mix them up.This would do a lot of harm not only to their Chinese learning but also to their future English learning.In short,the students had not arrived at any agreement yet.
