Ⅲ.阅读理解（每小题2分，共40分）

阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

Why play games？ Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules...planning your next move...ac ting as a team member...these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.

Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope—jumping and hide—and—seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they

translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating （合作）．Many children's games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown—ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand—eye coordination（协调） needed in hunting.

Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.

Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.

Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.

Before Johann Gutenberge developed the printing press in 1436, news traveled by word of mouth. This meant that information was slow to reach the public and that details changed as news spread from one person to the next. Rrinted matter, such as news papers, made it possible for information to be gathered in a central office and for news to be written more accurately. In 1844 Samuel Morse made a system of sending coded messages through electric wires perfect, founding an early form of long-distance communication. The work of communications was developed rin 1858 though the work of Julius von Reuter, who made newspapers reach different countries by telegraphing. With each of these developments, the public wondered at the cleverness of the communication pioneers and asked, “What will they thin k of next？”

“They” thought of plenty. Alexander Graham Bell and the idea of passing speech by electrical impulses and invented the first telephone in 1876. The invention of the “wireless” by Guglielmo Marconi in 1895 made the way for modern-day radio trans mission. V．K. Zworykin worked on one of the first televisions in 1928.

Communications reached new heights when televisions were mass-produced in the 1950s. In 1962 the first commuication satellite made people see live broadcast from anywhere in the world. Underground and underwater cables also send on programs from one area to another.

Telecommunications and computer networking are of big advances of our times and mean even greater development to come.

Mental and health experts believe personality plays an important part in how we experience stress. personality is the way a person acts, feels and thinks.

Some people are aggressive and always in a hurry. They often become angry when things do not happen the way they planned. They belong to “Type A” personality. Studies suggest that these people often get stress-related disorders. The “Type B” personality is calmer. These people are able to deal with all kinds of situations more easily. As a result, they are less affected by stress.

Studies have also shown that men and women deal with stress differently. Women seem to be better able to deal with stress than men are. However, experts say women are three times more likely to develop depression in reaction to the stress in their lives. American writer John Gray became famous for his book, “Men_are_from_Mars，Women_are_from_Venus”．He notes that men and women have opposite ways of dealing with stress. For a man, the best way is to rest and forget about daily problems. But a woman suffering from stress needs to talk about her probelms.”

Experts say there are several ways to deal with stress, including deep breathing, exercise, eating healthy foods, getting enough rest and balancing the time spent in working and playing. Exercise is one of the most effective stress-reduction measures, as physical canges from exercise make you feel better. In addition, exercise can also improve the body's defense system against disease.

Keeping stress to yourself can make problems worse. Experts say that expressing emotions to friends or family members or writing down your feelings can help reduce stress. And they also suggest that people should attempt to accept or change stressful situations whenever possible.

44．According to the experts, ________.

A．people respond to stress quite differently

B．people make the same response to stress

C．unlike women, men tend to feel depressed more easily

D．personality has nothing to do with how we experience stress

45．Compared with “Type A” personality, “Type B” personality ________.

A．causes more troubles

B．is less able to cope with different situations

C．is more easily affected by stress

D．tends to solve problems more peacefully

46．By saying “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”， John Cray means that they ________.

A．experence emotions in a different way

B．cope with stress in a different way

C．suffer from stress in a similar way

D．develop stress in the opposite way

47．If you want to reduce your stress, you can ________.

A．take some exercise

B．keep it to yourself

On Sundays my father always wore that black apron—the one with the race cars all over it. After breakfast Dad always announced：“Go ahead everyone. I'll take care of the dishes！” With that my mother disappeared into the Sunday paper. Off came the_ suit coat he had worn to church that morning._Up went_the_shirtsleeves._On_went_that_apron. For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing s ongs like “Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder？”

I suppose it was strange for a father to wear an apron—even one with race cars—but I never thought much of it until that Sunday when we walked home from church together. “Tommy，” he said, “There comes a time in every boy's life when he must take on responsibilities.” “Responsibilities？” I asked. “Yes. It's time you took a greater role in the household. Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can relax.” “The di shes！？” “Anything wrong with taking over the dishes？” I started to

say something about a man's job, but I knew immediately that my protests would fall on deaf ears.

I didn't taste a bit of breakfast that morning. My father announced to my mother, “Let's go to read the paper, Honey. Our oldest son has generously offered to fill the position.” So this was what my life had come to.

People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son. He came back into the kitchen just as I was about to sto rm out. In his right hand was the old apron. “I want you to have this, Tommy. It'll keep your clothes from getting wet.” And before I could do anything, he had put that apron on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I appreciate this.”

With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at the apron. It had seen better days. I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. Soon I was singing about Mrs. Murphy's Chowder.

48．What is the main purpose of the underlined sentences in the first paragraph？

A．To show the unwillingness of his father when doing dishes.

B．To instruct the main steps of how his father does dishes.

A．Taking care of the brothers.

B．Making progress academically.

C．Doing all the dishes.

D．Washing the apron with race cars.

C．A child is better unborn than untaught.

Have you ever had the desire to wander the world and see what was out there？ While some people prefer to stay in the comfort of their own home, others have been bitten by the travel bug and can't wait to explore the world. Exotic （异国的）places call to them. “Come to visit us and we will show you my mysteries，” they say.

Every year millions of people pack their suitcases or put on backpacks and flock to visit the seven continents of the world. They wander through the castles and museums of Europe, anti the cities and natural wonders of North and South America. Some visit the vast exotic cultures of Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

About this there are two different views. Some students think it provides us with a good chance to communicate with each other and develop our friendship, and besides, we can relax after hard work at school. However, some other students think it's a waste of money and time

and can lead us to getting into the bad habit of trying to keep up with the Joneses, which has a bad effect on our growth and studies.

As far as I'm concerned, it's not easy for our parents to make money and keep us at school for education. So there is no need for us to do like that. We must treasure our parents' labor and put our hearts into our studies.

What do you think about it？ I'm expecting your reply.
