IV、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children, like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents, seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one . In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
A man’s mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever in our mind.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
41. We usually begin to learn our own language by ________ it.
A. speaking B. hearing C. saying D. teaching
42. If you have a good ________ , you’ll have less difficulty in learning something.
A. teacher B. camera C. memory D. family
43. The children who live abroad with their parents can learn two languages more easily, because ______.
A. they are very clever B. they have good teachers
C. they have more chances to use these languages D. they have a better life

Sam, a dog , was left behind in Colorado while his owners, Mr. And Mrs. Green moved to Southern California. They did not give the dog up. They found him a very nice home before they moved. They would have let Sam accompany them, but they were afraid the dog’s presence would make it difficult for them to rent a house when they reached their destination.
The Green family lived in Colorado for less than a year. Before that, they had lived in the same neighborhood in California to which they returned. So Sam had been there before, but only for a short time when he was young.
Several months after the Greens left Colorado, after they were comfortably settled back in California, they heard a scratch at the door. They couldn’t imagine who might be there. It never occurred to them that it might be Sam, because they were sure he was happily set up with his new family back in Colorado.
When they opened the door, the Greens saw a dirty, tired dog with very hurting feet. The animal looked a little bit like Sam, but no one could believe that Sam could have walked 840 miles on his own. The tired dog spent the night under the family car. The next day, when he was more rested, he performed some of his old tricks. The Greens knew they had their own dog back.
45. The story suggests that _______ .
A. dog owners have trouble renting B. many people treat their pets badly
C. keeping a dog is easy D. dogs are too much trouble

For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse.
Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants (污染物) can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.
People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is said that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.
As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building-green plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant’s leaves absorb (吸收) or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and small organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square metres of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.
49. Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because _______.
A. indoor air pollution can often make people seriously ill
B. man-made building materials give off dangerous gases
C. there may be more harmful gases outside the buildings
D. the flow of air indoors is limited, which is very harmful
50. Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in ________.
A. every modern house B. every old house
C. all kinds of houses D. all kinds of offices
51. The indoor air pollution is caused by ________.
A. the limit of the flow of air between inside and outside
B. the building way that the builders want to save energy
C. the building things that are made of man-made materials
D. the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow
52. The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that ________.
A. plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoors
B. plants may take in more oxygen which people need
C. plants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicals
D. plants can make our houses prettier and more healthy
D
Suppose we built a robot to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing detectors（探测器） to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning. According to the evolutionary （进化论的） theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny(否认) that sleep provides some important restorative functions. It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.
The evolutionary theory explains the differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.
53. The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us about ________ .
A. the differences between robots and men B. the reason why men need to sleep
C. the need for robots to save power D. the danger of men working
54. Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him ________ .
A. keep up a regular pattern of life B. wake up early
C. avoid danger and inefficient labor D. find a good job
55. According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we are________ .
A. worrying about our safety B. overworked
C. in a tent D. away from water
56. Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats________ .
A. need more time for restoration
B. are likely to be attackers
C. are more active than horses when they are awake
D. spend less time eating to get enough energy

Paloalto, California— “Turning off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter—even if they do not change their diet,” US researchers said last week.
A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television increased nearly two pounds (0.91kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.
“The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician (儿科专家) at Stanford University. “American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games. And rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,” Robinsin said.
In the study presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third. Children watching fewer hours of television showed a much smaller increase in waist (腰) size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise.
“One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories,” Robinson said. “Another reason might be eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson said.
57. The report tells us that children will get fatter if they ________.
A. eat in front of the TV B. change their diet
C. do special exercises D. spend much time watching TV
58. According to the report, the time American children usually spend on watching TV and videos or playing video games ________.
A. is four hours a day or more B. is less than four hours a day
C. has doubled in the last 20 years D. has been reduced to one-quarter
59. The time some children were persuaded to spend on TV viewing every day was less than ___.
A. one hour B. two hours C. three hours D. four hours
60. Watching TV will increase kid’s weight because ________.
A. they usually eat more and move less
B. they no longer take part in outdoor activities
C. they will not burn off calories
D. they will enjoy having meals in front of the television
