III.阅读理解(共15小题; A, B两篇每小题2分;C篇每小题1分;满分25分)

A

Einstein is a world-famous scientist. In 1899, he studied at a famous university in Zurich (苏黎世). His teacher was Professor Minkevsky.

Once Einstein asked Minkevsky, “How can a person, like me, leave his clear footprints on the road of science and make a great contribution?” Minkevsky said that it was a “complicated”problem and he had to give him an answer later.

Three days later, Minkevsky told Einstein that the answer was coming! But he didn’t say anything. They walked toward a building site. He asked Einstein to set foot on a concrete (混凝土) road that the workers had just finished.

All the workers shouted at him. Einstein was very confused. “Sir, are you leading me the wrong way?” he asked.

“Think about it,” Minkevsky said. “Can’t you see? Only the new concrete road surface can leave deep footprints. The old road surface has been hard for a long time. Many people leave steps on the old road. You cannot find your footprint there.” Hearing that, Einstein thought for a long time and nodded.

After that, a very strong sense of innovation(创新) began to guide Einstein’s thinking and action. He tried again and again to discover new theories. Nobody could tell him what to do. No book could guide him. But he said, “I never memorize what dictionaries carry. My brain only remembers those things that are not included in books.” It was because of this that Einstein left his shining footprints in the history of science.

Have you ever wondered why we need so much sleep?

Humans spend about one third of their lives sleeping. We could have used the time to do more important things like eating, looking after our families and working. Some scientists believe sleeping helps recharge the body. But now a study suggests a new theory. It says that we may sleep to forget some of the millions of new things we learn each day.

The research was published in the journal Science in February. It explained that there are tiny fibers (纤维质) called dendrites (树状突) in the human brain. They grow and connect at points called synapses (突触). This is how we learn new things. The larger the dendrites grow and the more synapses we have, the more information we remember.

Researchers said that we learn so many things each day that the dendrites grow too large and we become confused. Sleeping helps the dendrites become smaller. We sort (整理) through

the information and only keep the most important memories.

The team did an experiment on two groups of mice over a four-year period. One group of mice could sleep, while the other group was kept mostly awake. The team found that the sleeping mice had nearly 20 percent fewer synapses.

Most researchers believe clearing our brains is not the only purpose of sleep. Resting our minds and bodies can stop us getting sick and help digest (消化) food. There is one thing scientists all agree on though: a good night’s rest is important for our health and happiness!

41. What is the new finding about sleep, according to the second paragraph?

A. Humans spend most of their lives sleeping.

B. Humans need less sleep than they actually get.

C. Sleeping helps recharge the body.

D. Sleeping helps people forget some new things.

42. If some people can remember more information, they have _____.

A. larger dendrites and less synapses

B. smaller dendrites and more synapses

C. larger dendrites and more synapses

D. smaller dendrites and less synapses

43. Which would confuse humans?

A. The synapses becoming smaller.

B. The dendrites growing too large.

C. The brain becoming smaller.

D. The body getting tired.

44.Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?

A.It takes about one third of humans’ lives to sleep.

B.To prevent ourselves from forgetting, we should sleep less.

C.The sleeping mice had nearly 20 percent more synapses.

D.Clearing our brains is the only purpose of sleep.

45. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Sleeping can help people clear brains.

B. What sleeping can bring people.

C. Why scientists study sleeping.

D. How to have a good night’s sleep.

阅读下面短文,根据要求完成下列问题

A

Kids around the world love stories about swords, magic, monsters and gods. And when these come on TV screens, they become more attractive.

Journey to the West is a TV series that has kept the company (陪伴) of many generations of Chinese kids. It began on TV in 1986, becoming the first ever fantasy TV show in China.

The original book of Journey to the West is one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature. But more importantly, it’s China’s own fantasy masterpiece, just as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are to Western people.

However, for many Chinese people, it is through the TV series that they got to know the story. As China National Radio notes, the show “for the first time surprised Chinese people by showing them what Sun Wukong (Monkey King), Zhu Bajie and the monsters look like”.

The TV series introduced people to a world where the most amazing things happen. The special effects in the TV series are outdated today, but they were quite new at that time. With them the audience sees Sun Wukong fly to the Heavenly Palace and break into the Palace of Hell.

The show not only opens worlds of imagination for Chinese kids, it also helps them find

their inner hero or heroine. The Monkey King is such a brave and loyal character. He beats the monsters and helps Tang Seng through 81 difficulties. The great acting of Liu Xiao Ling Tong makes the role seem even more real. How many of you have ever called yourself Qitian Dasheng after watching the TV series?

Whenever you watch the show, you feel a passion shared by all the young people. That might be the appeal of this fantasy series.

根据上面的短文内容回答问题。（每题不超过6个单词）

24. Are the special effects in the TV series still new today?

In addition to sightseeing, shopping is a popular activity for many Chinese tourists when they go abroad. Their huge buying power has made them become known as “walking wallets”. However, thanks to mobile payment services such as WeChat Pay and Alipay, it’s easy for people to pay for something. Perhaps “walking e-wallets” would be a better nickname.

According to Xinhua News Agency, WeChat Pay’s overseas service is available for Chinese tourists in 12 countries and regions, including Thailand, South Korea, Japan and Canada. Thailand’s Songkran Festival in every April is the most popular time for Chinese tourists to visit the country. During this year’s festival, many Chinese visitors used WeChat Pay in convenience(便利) stores, duty-free shops and restaurants. “I don’t need to take out my wallet There is some discount and no commission (销售佣金). This payment method has so many advantages,” a Beijing woman told Xinhua while shopping in Thailand.

Alipay is also popular with Chinese tourists overseas. With about 450 million users, Alipay is accepted by more than 80,000 companies worldwide, according to China Daily.

When 33-year-old Shanghai resident Xu Lei walked into the Santa Claus Village tourism office in Rovaniemi, Finland, he was surprised to find a sign with Alipay’s logo. It meant he could use the Alipay mobile app on his phone to scan a QR code provided by the tourism office to pay, just as he would back home.

Although mobile payments can bring convenience, they are not without security risks. Luckily, more and more efforts have been made to improve security. For example, Alipay has introduced new digital payment methods to users, allowing customers to process payments using a “voiceprint (声纹)”.

根据上面短文内容填空。
