三、阅读理解阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。（本大题共30分，每小题2分）

A

My parents quarreled a lot, and I was really worried about it. I didn’t know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend’s house. Though I knew I wouldn’t tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was packing up my things when suddenly the power (电) went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power ca me back on.

I was really disappointed (失望的) because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I’d stay with him unti l the power was restored (恢复). He was quite happy and said.

“Great chance.”

“What is?” I asked.

“To talk, you and I,” he said. “To hold a one-to-one little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we’re going to do with ourselves and the situation we are in now.”

“But we can’t do anything about it, Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.

And that is how the most amazing friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting there in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life from how fast things change to how they sometimes don’t change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be.

Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “I guess that means you’ll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”

41. Why was Grandpa happy to see the writer?

A. Because he felt quite lonely.

B. Because he was afraid of darkness.

C. Because he could discuss the problem with him

D. Because he had not seen him for a long time.

42. In which order(顺序) did the story happen?

a. The lights came back on.

b. The writer went to his grandpa’s room and stayed with him.

c. The power in the neighbourhood suddenly went out.

d. The writer worried about the parents’ disagreement and wanted to leave his hom

e.

e. After the talk the writer started the most amazing friendship with his grandpa.

A. d-b-e-c-a

B. a-b-e-c-d

C. c-d-b-e-a

D. d-c-b-e-a

43. What can be inferred(推断) from the story?

A. The lights would go out again.

B. The writer wanted to leave very much.

C. They would have more chats.

D. It would no longer be dark.

B

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s mistake.” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my mistake; the bus was late.” It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what h appens to you if you stop paying attention to whom to blame and start paying attention to how to improve the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.

Winners are great at overcoming(克服) problems. For example, if you were late because the bus was late, maybe you need to leave home early. Or, you might call a taxi or call friends for help when in need. For another example, if your workmate causes you problems on the job for short of responsibility(责任心) or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inabilit y rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or leave this person with some simple jobs. You should accept tha t the person is not reliable(可靠的) and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your workmate fails to do his job well.

This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges(挑战) and chances to develop their own talents. So, stop paying attention to “whose mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

44. According to the passage, winners _______.

A. blame themselves rather than others

B. have responsible and able workmates

C. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

D. deal with problems rather than blame others

45. When your workmate brings about a problem, you should_______ .

A. find a better way to overcome the problem

B. tell him to find the cause of the problem

C. blame him for his lack of responsibility

D. ask a more able workmate for help

46. When problems happen, winners take them as_________ .

A. excuses for their mistakes

B. difficulties to greater power

C. chances for self-development

D. challenges to their workmates

47. Which of the following is the best title for the passage？

A. A Winner’s Secret

B. A Winner’s Problem

C. A Winner’s Chance

D. A Winner’s Achievement

C

If you have no special plans for your holidays, why not spend your time helping others?

do it for money. Here are some of their stories.

Dr. Irene Pepperberg, a scientist at the University of Arizona, has worked with Alex for nineteen years. Teaching Alex to speak and understand wasn’t easy at first. He had to learn one word at a time. Irene and an assistant (助手) would teach Alex by showing him what a word meant. Irene would hold up an object, saying “What’s this?”Her assistant would give the word--“candy”, for example — while Alex watched, Irene would praise (表扬) her assistant, then ask Alex the name for the object. When he got it right, Irene would praise him and give him the object to play with as a reward. It took Alex many weeks to learn his first word. After that, each new word became easier and easier for him.

Why did Irene spend so much time getting a parrot to talk? Scientists like Irene are interested in discovering how intelligent (聪明) animals are and how their brains work. But studying animal intelligence has been difficult, partly because animals haven’t been able to communicate (交流) clearly with humans. Teaching Alex to speak words that he understands has let Irene talk to him directly. She can ask him questions, and he can answer them in English. In this way, Irene is finding out what kinds of things Alex’s brain can do. She has found that parrots are much smarter than scientists used to think.

51.According to the passage , how is Alex remarkable (不寻常的)?

A. He can use the English language to answer questions.

B. He uses words in English instead of bird calls to call other birds.

C. He can copy the pronunciations of more than 100 English words.

D. Alex has a brain that is much bigger than those of other parrots.

52. How did Dr. Pepperberg teach Alex to speak with understanding?

A. She taught Alex a special sign language.

B. She gave Alex rewards if he would say what she said.

C. She gave Alex a candy every time he answered correctly.

D. She said the same word all day long so that Alex could repeat it.

53. Why did Dr. Pepperberg teach Alex to speak with understanding?

A. She wanted to prove it could be done.

B. She wanted to provide a model for people who want talking birds.

C.She wanted to find out how many words parrots could remember.

D. She wanted to find out what kinds of things his brain could do.

54. According to the passage, Alex has proved that ___________.

A. birds are just as intelligent as humans.

B. parrots are much cleverer than scientists used to think.

C. birds are not the only animals that can learn a language.

D. teaching parrots to speak a human language isn’t very difficult.

55. Which of the following is not true?

A. Alex is a bland man.

B. Alex can speak something in English.

C. Animals can’t communicate clearly with humans.

D. It took Irene a lot of time to teach Alex to speak.

Nowadays,living a healthy life is so important for us Junior Three students,who are busy preparing for the coming exam.

First,to have a balanced diet is a must.We should eat more vegetables and fruit but less meat.Secondly,as the saying goes“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”,therefore knowing how to divide our time between learning,having rests and doing sports is also important.
