The boy searched his pockets.

“Well, we’ll go home and work some more. Don’t cry. We’ll surely 31 ,” he said. Quickly I handed $ 3.00 to the cashier. These children had waited in line for a long time. And, 32 , it was Christmas.

III.阅读理解(共四篇20小题,每小题2分,计40分) ( A )

On Nov.18th,1908,three men went up in a balloon.They started early in London. The headman was Augusta Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.

Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope ,and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight . It was for use over the sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand.

After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metres, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men's basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.

At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 metres ! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had traveled 1,797 kilometers from London!

When you’re curious(好奇的) about something, and want to know more about it, you can use the way of asking questions. Asking questions is the first step to make discoveries and find interesting answers. The steps below can guide you during the research.

Step1 On a notecard or piece of paper, write down the subject that you are interested in. Just get the main idea down. For example, you might write: Discover more about dinosaurs.

Step2 Next, stop and think for a moment about what you already know abut your subject. List what you already know like the sentences below: (1)Dinosaurs lived long before human beings appeared. (2)Dinosaurs lived on the earth for more than 150 million years. (3)Some dinosaurs fed on(吃) plants, some on meat.

Step3 What can you do with what you want to learn? By asking questions. On your paper, start writing down questions about the dinosaurs as you think of them: (1)What’s the best weather for dinosaurs to live in? (2)How many kinds of dinosaurs are there? (3)Have dinosaurs really disappeared?

Step4 Armed with your list of questions, you can now go to the nearest library or computer to begin your research. As you learn more about your subject, you’ll probably discover some new questions. For example, you might discover that dinosaurs disappeared about 65 million years ago. Why? What happened? Asking new questions can help you research your subject more widely. If you always find something interesting to research, take time to organize(组织) your thinking by asking good questions. And remember learning more always brings more questions. （）41. When you do some research, you should take the following steps:

(1)list what you want to know (3)list what you already know A. (4)(3)(2)(1)

(4) discover new problems C.(2)(3)(1)(4) D.(3)(2)(4)(1)

B. They saw the sun go down

C. They made a hole in the basket with their knives

B. (1)(4)(3)(2)

（）42. From the passage, we know . A. dinosaurs appeared after human beings B. not all the dinosaurs fed on meat

C. dinosaurs lived on the earth for 65 million years D. dinosaurs lived warm season

（）43. What does “Armed with your list of questions” mean? A. Putting your list of questions under your arm B. Discussing your questions with your classmates C. Writing down your list of questions D. Taking your list of questions with you （）44. According to the passage, which one is true? A. You can find all the answers online(网络上) B. Learn more, and you’ll have no questions C. Asking questions is the only way for research

D. During the research, you may keep finding new questions （）45. The best title(标题) for this passage is “ ” A. Discovering Dinosaurs C. Finding Subjects

B. Asking Good Questions D. Learning Steps (C) If you’re a male and you’re reading this, congratulations! You’re a survivor. According to statistics, you’re more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, a nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you’ll die on average five years before a woman.

There’re many reasons for this——typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke——but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor.

“Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should,” says Dr. Gullotta. “This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike.

Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year.

“When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer,” he says, “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged his life.”

According to a recent survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.

“A lot of men think they’re invincible,” Gullotta says. “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, “Geez, if it could happen to him…”

Then there’s the ostrich approach. “Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,” says Dr. Ross Cartmill.

“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups. Regular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says. “But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater, it’s called premature death.”

( )46. Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage?
