If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak；and when you start using them again, they will slowly become strong again.
36 knows this, and nobody would think of 37 the fact.
Yet there are many people who 38 to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that 39 has a good memory , he 40 means that he keeps his memory 41 practice by exercising it very 42 , either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is 43 , he means that he does not give it enough 44 to become strong. The position
is exactly the same as that of 45 people, one of 46 exercises his arms
and legs by playing balls, while the other 47 in a chair or a car all day.
If a friend of yours says that his arms are weak, we know that it is
his own 48 . But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, 49 of us
think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just 50 , and few of us realize that it is just as it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become very strong in body or very clever in mind, 51 all of us can improve our strength and our memory by the same means — 52 .
Have you ever 53 that people who cannot read or write usually
have 54 memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because
they cannot write down something in a little notebook or something else.
They have to remember names, places, songs and stories；so their memory is always being exerciseD．
In a word , if you want to have a good memory, 55 practise remembering.
36．A． Somebody B． Everybody C． Nobody D． Each one
37．A． proving B． describing C． questioning D． indicating
38．A． want B． need C． have D． seem
39．A． he B． she C． it D． one
40．A． always B． really C． nearly D． almost
41．A． with B． in C． to D． by
42．A． soon B． fast C． quickly D． often
43．A． bad B． useless C． poor D． helpless
44．A． chance B． time C． space D． places

第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
As I jogged over the bridge and round the corner on my regular early morning run, he was standing opposite the jeweler’s looking extremely suspicious. But the moment he saw me, instead of trying to avoid me, he came straight across the road as I drew level with the jeweler’s. Halfway across he began addressing me: “I thought you were going to…”—but his voice trailed away as he received no reply and no sign of recognition from me. It was quite obvious that he had mistaken me for someone else. But he started up again as if nothing had happened． “Good morning,” he said． “Nice to bump into someone so early. Someone to talk to. I’ve taken to talking to myself on this job．”
I hate meeting people when I’m out early, and I was almost out of breath, so I just paused in my stride, nodded in a friendly manner, and went on up the road． The stranger had spoken quietly, and quite slowly. And I had noticed that he was well dressed, too. But if he looked suspicious dressed like that at that time of the morning, what about me? I was in a track suit, with an old sweater round my shoulders and a cap on my head． As to his odd remark about “talking to himself on the job”, I hadn’t paid any attention to it, although now it began to worry me. Was he perhaps a plain clothes policeman? At the time I somehow felt he was.
I had just turned the corner into the High Street when I heard the sound of breaking glass somewhere behind me, and I thought the sound came from the street I had just left. I stopped dead and almost without thinking looked back around the corner. The stranger was not there, but almost immediately an alarm bell in the jeweler’s began ringing furiously.
I found out later that a burglar had broken into the jeweler’s shop and stolen watches and rings worth about ￡5,000. The police are still looking into the matter, but I’m afraid to go and tell them what I know now because they might even suspect me of committing the crime, and it might be difficult for me to prove my innocence. After all, I haven’t offered my assistance as a witness, and the only other person around that morning was the “stranger” who had spoken to me.
56．The writer ________ .
A．always goes past the jeweler’s
B．goes jogging regularly
C．meets a few people every morning
D．often sees a policeman in the High Street
57．Which of the following statements is true?
A．The stranger was waiting for someone.
B．The stranger hated talking to people.
C．The stranger recognized the writer.
D．The stranger had met the writer before.
58．Why did the stranger seem suspicious?
A．He was far too friendly.
B．He was dressed too well for that time.
C．He was about to go into the jeweler’s.
D．He talked to himself a lot.
59．If the writer had been on the spot, ________ .
A．he might have been badly injured
B．the stranger wouldn’t have broken the window
C．he wouldn’t have heard the alarm bell
D．he would have seen what happened
60．The writer hasn’t told the police what little he knows because _________ .
A．he is afraid they might arrest him
B．he thinks the stranger is innocent
C．the stranger hasn’t asked him to be a witness
D．the burglar didn’t steal very much
B
Beware of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted important information. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactiC． Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the sate lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
61． Which statement is true according to the article?
A．Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying.
B．You can’t trust gamblers.
C．All governors help their states.
D．The truth can be used in dishonest ways.
62．The underlined word “deceive” means _________.
A．mistake
B．
ignore
C．fool
D．
repair
63．The author clearly wants people to _________.
A．think carefully about what they read and hear
B．wear mismatched socks during political campaigns
C．never trust anyone
D．vote for female candidates
64． The best title for this passage would be __________.
A．Lies Are Lies B． Everyone Lies
C．Lying With the Truth D． Nose Pimples

I
might be letting my young son watch too much television. I am certainly
watching too many of his programs. They can really be puzzling as they force
you to ponder the mysteries of life.
For
example, when Franklin (the turtle) wanted a pet, his parents didn’t want it to
be a frog. They felt that frogs belong in a ponD．
Isn't that where turtles belong?
And
why is it that Little Bear’s animal friends can all talk and behave like
people, but his friend Emily has a dog that can only bark and fetch? Tell me
that isn’t a mystery!
Dog
lovers can be reassured by Kipper and his friends. These dogs are very human.
However, the only time they wear clothes is when they put on bathing suits to
go swimming. I’m confused!
Speaking
of dogs, could Pluto ever be Goofy’s pet? I don’t get it! What did the great
Mr. Disney have in mind?
And
this is unfair! The other day we watched a very nice little pig setting up a
picniC．
One of the foods was a big ham. Could it have been a soy ham? Is there such a
thing? I hope so!
Another
thing that bothers me: What if Elmo isn’t real? He can’t be a mere puppet! He’s
got a better attitude than most people. I just keep wondering.
I
think we’ll turn off the TV and go out for a walk. Maybe we’ll run into that

Thomas Alva Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Without him, the world might still be a dark place. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.
Thomas A． Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, on February 11, 1847. His family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, when he was seven years old． Surprisingly, he attended school for only two months. His mother, a former teacher, taught him a few things, but Thomas was mostly self-educated． His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age with electrical and mechanical things at home.
When he was 12 years old, he got his first joB． He became a newsboy on a train that ran between Port Huron and Detroit. He set up a laboratory in a baggage car of the train so that he could continue his experiments in his spare time. Unfortunately, his first work experience did not end well. Thomas was fired when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the baggage car. Thomas then worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time on the job conducting experiments. He got his first patent in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity. However, the vote recorder was not a success. In 1870, he sold another invention, a stock-ticker, for $40,000. A stock-ticker is a machine that automatically prints stock prices on a tape. He was then able to build his first shop in Newark, New Jersey.
Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He called himself a "two-shift man" because he worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes he worked so intensely that his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat.
Thomas Edison died at the age of 84 on October 18, 1931, at his estate in West Orange, New Jersey. He left numerous inventions that improved the quality of life all over the world．
73．Thomas Edison did things in this order:
A．he became a telegraph operator, a newsboy, and then got his first patent
B．he became a newsboy, got his first patent, and then became a telegraph operator
C．he got a patent, became a telegraph operator, and then became a newsboy
D．he became a newsboy, a telegraph operator, and then got a patent
74．Of all the inventions, __________ was probably the most important for civilization.
A．the vote recorder B．the stock ticker
C．the light bulb D．the motion picture camera
75．The main idea of this passage is __________ .
A．Thomas Edison was always interested in science and inventions, and he invented many
important things.
B．Thomas Edison could not keep a joB．
C．Thomas Edison worked day and night on his experiments.
D．Deaf people make good inventors because they can focus without the distraction of spoken
conversation.
