三．阅读理解 (40分)
A
If you go into
the forest with friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you
get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t
try to find your friends—let them find you. You can help them find you by
staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other people
to find you. You can shout or whistle three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle
three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help.
Keep up shouting or whistling. Always three times together. When
people hear you, they will know that you are not just making a noise for fun. They
will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give you two
shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call
for help.
If
you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little
house with branches. Make yourself a bed with leaves and grass.
When
you need some water, you have to leave your little branch house to look for it.
Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk in
order to go back again easily. When you are lost, the most important thing
to do is to stay in one place.
36. Which signal is a call for
help?
A. shouting here and there B. crying twice
C. shouting or whistling three times together D. whistling every where in the forest

You've been told you have six months to live. You are six years old.
For children with cancer, the facts of life include the facts of death. There is always the fear that they might not live to grow up. Yet they realize that fighting cancer is the only way of beating it. So they fight. Sometimes, they win.
It may take years. It certainly takes support from parents and doctors. Unfortunately, many parents can't deal with their children's illness. And doctors, no matter how caring, have other patients to treat.
At times like these, the Children's Cancer Foundation can help.
We are a group of Hong Kong doctors, nurses, parents of children with cancer and concerned individuals. All of us are volunteers. We're with the children every day, listening to, encouraging and entertaining them. We also advise parents, educate the public and send doctors overseas to study new cancer treatments. Our funding has brought better equipment to the wards and paid for special flats where the children can get well.
We want to do even more. But to do it, we need your help. It will be money well spent. One look at our past achievement should prove that. To the children, your contribution will also be a show of support, a sign that you're behind them.
40. The Children's Cancer Foundation is __________ .
A. a business organization
B. a non-business organization for children
C. a non-business organization formed to help children with cancer
D. an organization made up of famous doctors and experienced nurses
41. The main purpose of writing this passage is __________ .
A. to give you some information about the Children's Cancer Foundation
B. to introduce you to this organization
C. to ask you to join with others in giving money
D. to ask you to pity the poor children with cancer
42. This passage is probably written to ____________ .

C
What will man be like in the future – in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modem world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modem life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
43. The passage mainly tells us that .
A. man's life will be different in the future
B. what will man look like in the future
C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes
D. human's organs' functions will become weak
44. The change in man's size of forehead will probably be because .
A. he makes use only 20% of the brain's capacity
B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries
C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time
D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on
45. What will be true about a human being in the future?
A. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.
B. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.
C. His fingers will grow weaker because he won't have to make use of them.
D. He will think and feel in a different way.
46. It is implied that .
A. human beings will become less attractive in the future.
B. less use of a bodily organ（器官）may lead to its degeneration（退化）.
C. human beings hope for a change in the future life.
D. future life is always predictable.

For many years, T-shirts were simple short-sleeved undershirts for men and boys. T-shirts used to be of one color — white. And since they were worn under shirts, they were generally not seen.
Today the T-shirt has become fashionable（时髦）. It can be seen everywhere and on everyone. Women and little children wear T-shirts as do teenagers, university students, and men from all walks of life（各行各业）. T-shirts are worn on playground, at the beach or in town. They can also be worn for work. Yet T-shirts remain relatively inexpensive and long wearing, as well as easy to care for. Smart but comfortable and convenient to wear, they have become one of America’s newest ideas on fashion.
Although T-shirts are now available in a wide variety of bright materials and styles, the most popular kind is the traditional cotton T-shirts with a slogan or picture printed on the front. A T-shirt may bear a single word, a popular phrase, pictures of popular singers, or an advertisement. As T-shirts are becoming more and more popular, new designs are coming up all the time.

Even if you are a good
high-jumper, you can jump only about seven feet off the ground. You cannot jump
any higher because the earth pulls you hard. The pull of the earth is called
gravity.
You can easily find out the pull of the earth. If you weigh yourself, you will
know how much gravity is pulling you.
Since there is gravity,
water runs down hill. When you throw a ball into the air, it falls back down.
Because of gravity, you do not fall off the earth as it whirls (旋转) around.
Then, can we get away from the earth and go far out into space? Now you can do
it, because spaceships have been invented. Then spaceship will go so fast that
it can escape (逃出) the earth’s gravity and carry
you into space.
51. In this passage, the word “gravity” means.
A. the pull of everything.
B. the force of attraction(吸引) among
objects.
C. the force which attracts objects towards the centre of the earth

52. When you slip(滑) you always fall to the ground
because
A. the earth always turns round. B. the earth has gravity
