三、阅读理解(共27分)
(一)
??? Can you imagine being able to remember every single experience of your life and every word in your favorite book? That's what Becky's life is like, and as wonderful as it sounds, it can also be quite terrifying at times.
??? Three years ago, Becky was reading a newspaper article which mentioned that it was impossible for people to remember the details of their life in the first three years. "What nonsense(胡说八道)!" she thought, because she could clearly remember her life all the way back to when she was just 12 days old. Her parents had carried her to the driver's seat of their car and laid her down for a photo. But it wasn't nonsense. She was just one of only 80 known people who have a condition called HSAM (Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory).
??? Becky's unusual condition was recently shown on a program called 60 minutes, where reporter Allison tested her ability by asking her questions about her favorite book series, Harry Potter. Allison would pick up a book and open a page and read her a line. Immediately Becky would name the book, chapter number, chapter name and could recite every word until Allison told her to stop.
??? Being able to remember every little detail is a great ability, but as every person with HSAM will tell you, it can be very hard to deal with. Forgetting is one of the things we use to get over sad experiences in our lives, but it's something that people like Becky are unable to do. Even walking on the street and lightly bumping(撞) into somebody brings back memories from Becky's childhood, when a boy knocked her over. She's taken right back to that time, living the experience all over again. Also, like Becky, people with HSAM never do well in school, because they have problems filtering(过滤) through all the information, remembering only the important bits.
??? Becky's special brain could help scientists find a way to treat people with terrible illnesses like Alzheimer's. Her condition could hold the secret to treating or even preventing Alzheimer's.
(1)What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? ( )
A.What people with HSAM feel like.
B.Why HSAM is unfamiliar to people.
C.How Becky knew she was different.
D.How Becky spent her early childhood.
(2)Why was Becky asked questions on 60 minutes? ( )
A.To help treat her illness.
B.To advertise Harry Potter.
C.To test her ability to remember.
D.To encourage other kids to read.
(3)Which of the following troubles Becky? ( )
A.She can't forget her painful experience.
B.She feels tired remembering everything.
C.She can't get along well with other kids.
D.She is different from other kids of her age.
(4)Why does Becky do poorly at school? ( )
A.She feels sad every time she studies.
B.She remembers too much information.
C.She can't deal with difficult problems.
D.She can't understand the teacher in class.

People used to say that horses sweat, men perspire(流汗), and ladies glow. Now that most of us live a healthy lifestyle which includes exercise, we all sweat! The main reason our bodies produce sweat is to help us cool down. As you exercise or sit in the hot sun, your body temperature rises and your sweat glands(腺) get to work passing liquid through your skin. When your sticky sweat evaporates, it cools your skin and helps your body stay at a healthy temperature.
You may think that the sweatiest people at the gym are the ones who are out-of-shape. In fact the better shape you are in, the more you sweat! With lots of exercise heating your body regularly, your 3 million sweat glands will grow larger so they can cool you down faster. But it’s not all about exercise: genes determine how likely you are to sweat, and there isn’t much you can do to change it! On a very hot day, an average person will sweat 3 pints of liquid an hour, but someone used to the heat will sweat 8-5 pints in an hour! No wonder it’s important to drink lots and lots of water when the sun beats down.
Staying comfortable in the heat will mean sweating, but there are other ways to keep cool. Stay in the shade and dress in light colors and natural fabrics like cotton. Wear a light hat that will shade your face but will still let heat escape from your head. Drink a lot of cool liquids to rehydrate. If you are sweating a lot, you will be losing salt as well as water through your skin, so you may want a salty snack. Sweat is odorless, but the bacteria that live in it can smell bad. Keeping clean will help your friends stay friendly all summer long!?
(1)Which of the following is not true according to the passage?? ( )
A.?You may sweat when your body temperature rises.?
B.?You’d better drink salt water in hot weather.?
C.?You can’t do much to control how much you sweat.?

(2)If you want to keep cool, you can do the following things except__________.?
A.?wear a light hat????????????????????????????????????????????????B.?dress in cotton clothes?
C.?s tay in the shade?????????????????????????????????????????????D.?drink a lot of water?
(3)We can know from the second paragraph that__________.?
A.?we should do lots of exercise to keep health?
B.?the sweatiest people are the ones who are out-of-shape?
C.?some people are more likely to sweat than others?
D.?the more sports you do, the more sweat you have??
(4)It can be inferred from the last paragraph that __________.?
A.?sweat can smell bad sometimes????????B.?you’d better bathe yourself after sweating a lot????
C.?sweat can make you feel energetic????D.?there are many ways to keep cool?
(5)Where can we most probably read this text?? ( )
A.?In a personal diary.???????????????????????????????????????????B.?In a science report.?
C.?In a book about health.???????????????????????????????????D.?In a sports book.?

It’s a great honor for me to give you a speech on Green Campus withHard-working and Life-saving Habits here. At present, some serious waste oncampus has drawn our attention and concern. For example, some students don’t turn off the lights or taps after using them, which is a very bigwaste of limited energy, while other students leave over or even throw away toomuch food in the dining hall, which costs us too much money and resources. Therefore,it is high time that we aroused our awareness of hard-working and life-savinghabits as well as we needed to practise the “clear your plate” campaign against wastingfood. Let’s start with ourselves and work hard together fromnow on.
