阅读理解     In order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地), four things are necessary.   First,  we must
understand the language when we hear it spoken.   Secondly,  we must be able to speak it ourselves, 
 with confidence(自信) and without hesitation(犹豫).   Thirdly,  we must do much reading.   Finally,  we
must be able to write it.   We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.  
     There are no shortcuts to success in language learning.   A good memory is a great help,  but it is not
enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book.   It is not much learning by heart long lists(一
览表) of words and their  meanings,  studying the dictionary and so on.   We must learn by using the
language.  
      If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized,  we are not really learning the language.  
We must "learn through use.  " Practice is important.   We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.

阅读理解。      Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy.After all,
you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.
      Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy.However,
they sing most of the time for a very different reason.Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to
stay out of their territory.
      Do you know what a "territory" is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims as its
own .Only he and his family are welcome there .No other families of the same species are welcome.
Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome.If a stranger
should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout.Probably this would be enough to frighten
him away.
      If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him.A bird does the same
thing.But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season.So he"s screaming (高声尖叫) all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not.This screaming is what we call a bird"s
song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.
      Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the
territory of theirs.You can see that birds have a language of their own.Most of it has something to do
with attracting mates and setting up territories.1.Some scientists believe that most of the time birds" singing is actually              .A.an expression of happiness        
B.a way of warning
C.an expression of anger            
D.a language of their own2.What is a bird"s "territory"?A.A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.
B.A place where other bird families are not accepted.
C.An area for which birds fight against each other.
D.An area which a bird considers to be its own3.Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?A.Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.
B.Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.
C.Because they want to find outsiders around.
D.Because they want to invite more bird friends.4.How does the writer explain birds" singing?A.By comparing birds with human beings.
B.By reporting experimental results.
C.By describing birds"daily life.
D.By telling a bird"s story.

阅读理解。     Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as
well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for
years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of
Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
     One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional(额外的) learning trials(尝试)increase the length(长度) of time we will remember it.
     In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing
baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
     The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception(例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in
childhood.
     The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the
subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he
learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one"s future development.
1. What is the main idea of paragraph I?
A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children arc easy to remember.
2. The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.
A. presenting research findings
B. setting down general rules
C. making a comparison
D. using examples
3. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______.
A. a result of overlearning
B. a special case of cramming
C. a skill to deal with math problems
D. a basic step towards advanced studies
4. What does the word "they" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Commonly accepted rules.
B. The multiplication tables.
C. Things easily forgotten.
D. School subjects.
5. What is the author"s opinion on cramming?
A. It leads to failure in college exams.
B. It"s helpful only in a limited way.
C. It"s possible to result in poor memory.
D. It increases students" learning interest.

     Like distance runners on a measured course, all of us will move through time in a roughly predictable
pattern.
     In the first stage of our lives, we develop and grow, reaching toward the top of physical
vitality(energy). 
     After we grow up,however, the body begins a process of gradually wearing out.
     A new awareness of physical fitness may help lengthen our years of health and vitality, yet nothing we  
do will work to stop the unavoidable force of aging.
     Most of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body. The lungs become less able to take in
oxygen. Powerful muscles gradually lose their strength. The heart loses power and pumps less blood.Bones grow easier to break.
     Finally, we meet a stress,a stress that is greater than our physical resistance. Often it is only a minor  
accident or chance infection(a disease eaused by virus), but this time,it brings life to an end.
     In 1932, a classic experiment nearly doubled the lifetime of rats, simply by cutting back the
calories(unit for measuring the energy value of food)in their diet.The reason for the effect was then
unknown.
     Today, at the university of California at Berkley, Dr.Paul Seagle has also greatly lengthened the
normal lifetime of rats. The result was achieved through a special protein(蛋白质)limited diet, which
had a great effect on the chemistry of the brain. Seagle showed that within the brain, specific chemicals
control many of the signals that influence aging. By changing that chemical balance, the clock of aging
can be reset.
     For the first time, the mystery(something that is difficult to understand or to explain)of why our age
is being seriously challenged. Scientists in many fields are now making striking and farreaching
discoveries.
     An average lifetime lasts 75 years, yet in each of us lies a potential for a longer life. If we could keep 
the vitality and resistance to disease that we have at age twenty, we would live for 80 years.

1. What does the underlined word"it" refer to?

A. Physical vitality.        
B. Stress.
C. Aging.                
D. Physical resistance.

2. The author believes the following EXCEPT that ________.

A. human"s life pattern is predictable
B. physical fitness can"t stop the force of aging
C. human"s lifetime will last longer than 75 years
D. all of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body

3. How did Dr.Paul Seagle lengthen the lifetime of rats in his experiment?
A. By limiting the protein in their diet.
B. By cutting the calories in their diet.
C. By resetting their clock of aging.
D. By keeping their physical fitness.

4. What is probably the best title for the article?

A. Two Great Experiments
B. The Mystery of Human Life
C. Ways to Lengthen Human Life
D. The Breakthrough in the Study of Aging

阅读理解。     A British ship that sank during the American Revolution has been discovered at the bottom of
Lake Ontario.Surprisingly,the 22gun ship is wellpreserved in the cold,deep water.Explorers
announced the news recently.
     Kennard is an electrical engineer.He has been diving for nearly 40 years and has found more
than 200 wrecks(残骸) in the Great Lakes and other lakes or rivers.He began searching the
Ontario 35 years ago but quit after several dives.Six years ago,he began to work with Scoville,a
diver.Since then,the pair have found seven ships in the lake.Over the years,Kennard got licenses
and information,including the ship"s design plans,from the British government.Even then,it took the
pair three years to search more than 200 square miles before they found the ship earlier this month.
     After locating the wreck with the sonal(声纳),the explorers used a submarine to confirm their
find.The 80foot ship is the only entire British ship ever found in the Great Lakes,Scoville and
Kennard said."To have a ship from the Revolutionary War that"s nearly entire is unbelievable.It"s
an archaeological miracle."They said the ship is still considered the property of the British Admiralty.
Although the ship sits in an area where the water is up to 500 feet deep and cannot be reached by
anyone but the most experienced divers,Kennard and Scoville refused to give its exact location with
care.They only said that it was found off the southern shore.
     The ship was discovered resting partially on its side.It went down on October 31,1780,with 60
British soldiers, a crew of about 40,mostly Canadians,and possibly about 30 American war prisoners.
