六、阅读理解
（A）
Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over your body. You don’t want to work, you stay in bed, feeling very sad.
What makes us ill? It is germs (细菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can’t find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope. They are very very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.
Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.
Germs aren’t found only in water. They are found in air and dust. If you cut your finger, if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut (割开处), some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red, and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs would go into all of your body, and you would have pain everywhere.

Do you get enough sleep? With so much homework ，it"s often difficult to get the rest you need. But you need to try，because sleep keeps you healthy and it stops you getting fat.
Recently， a group of US scientists did a study (调查) of kids aged between 8 and 13. The study found that if kids sleep for just one extra (额外的) hour each day, the chance of their getting fat is cut by about 30 percent .
Why? When people don"t get enough sleep, they become tired. When they are tired, they don"t exercise enough. Also， kids like snacks: If they are awake (醒着的) an extra hour or two each day，they have more time to eat snacks or other unhealthy foods.
So， how much sleep should you get? Scientists suggest 10 to 11 hours a night for kids aged 5 to 12. For older kids, eight to nine hours will do.
6.How many reasons are given why people might get fat without enough sleep?
A. 3. B. 2. C. 1 D. None.
7.If you are under 10，how long do the scientists advice you to sleep?
A. 10 to 11 hours. B. 8 to 9 hours.
C. 8 to 13 hours. D. As long as possible.
8.Where was the study done by the scientists?
A. In China. B In Britain. C. In America. D. In Japan.
9.What does" eight to nine hours will do" mean?
A. Eight to nine hours" sleep will be good and enough.
B Eight to nine hours" sleep will be too long.
C. Eight to nine hours" sleep will help get fat.
D. Eight to nine hours" sleep will help eat snacks and unhealthy foods.
10. What does the passage talk about?

B How to keep fat.
C. Enough sleep makes people healthy and slim (苗条)
D. Long sleep makes people healthy and slim.

Do teenagers in small villages do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities?
Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from small villages. We made a diagram of the result of our survey. Let’s have a look at it. We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.
1. They surveyed ______ teenagers from small villages.
A. 1,000 B. 2,000 C. 3,000 D. 4,000

A. 500 B. 1,000 C. 1,500 D. 2,000
4. The number of teenagers ______ in big cities is bigger than that in small villages.
A. making the bed B. taking out the trash
C. folding the clothes D.doing the dishes
5. Why did they make the survey?
A. Because they don’t want teenagers in China to do chores at home.
B. Because they thought it’ll help teenagers to take good care of themselves to do chores at home.
C. Because they wanted to know if teenagers in China do chores at home.
D. Because they thought it’s not necessary for teenagers to look after themselves.

O. Henry, a famous American writer of short stories, was born in North Carolina in 1862. O. Henry was a pen name. His real name was William Sydney Porter. When he was a young boy, he did not go to school for long because of being born in a poor family, but he tried to teach himself everything he needed to know.
When he was about 20 years old, O. Henry went to Texas. There he tried different jobs. He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank. But he got himself into some trouble. Some money went missing from the bank. O. Henry was believed to have stolen it, so he was sent to prison(监狱). During the three years in prison, he learned to write short stories. After he got out of prison, he went to New York and went on writing.

Some students think it difficult to learn English well. That’s because they don’t find the right way. I think reading is very important for students. The more you read, the better you’ll understand. Reading is helpful to listening, speaking and writing.
If you often read English aloud, you’ll make your listening better. On the other hand, listening a lot can help you to read better. Reading English everywhere when you are free, if you are willing to. You can get a lot of knowledge(知识) when you read. Sometimes you need to express(表达) your ideas. You can either speak or write. That means you are using what you learned from reading. The same as Chinese. The more you read, the better you can write. If you want to remember something, you should read again and again.
So from now on, you’d better do more reading. It’s a good way to learn English well.

American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes there are some important differences between British English and American English.
First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say each word separately. They say words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead(代替) of “I don’t know”. Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Sound is not only the difference. Words sometimes have different meanings too. For example, the vocabulary(词汇) for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks(卡车), but in England people drive lorries.
Many expressions（短语） are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.”
There’re also some differences in grammar(语法). For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you a storybook?”
Most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.
( ) 16. What does the word “separately” mean in this passage? It means “_____”.
A. 含糊地 B. 快速地 C. 分开地 D. 简略地
( ) 17. The vocabulary for cars and driving is _____.

B. There are four differences between American and British English.
C. Canadians speak all the same French as Frenchmen.
D. When people live in different places, the languages are the same.
( ) 20. This passage is mainly about _____.

Do you know how many kinds of earthworms(蚯蚓)there are? There are about 1,800 kinds in the world! They can be brown, purple, red, blue and green. They can be as small as 3 centimeters long and as large as 3 metres long.
The best time to see earthworms is at night, especially a cool, damp night. That’s when they come up from their burrows to hunt for food. Earthworms don’t like to be in the sun. That’s because they breathe through their skin, and they can’t breathe if their skin gets too dry. So they try to stay down in the earth while the sun is out. You may notice that if you happen to dog up an earthworm, it soon burrows back into the earth. Sometimes earthworms don’t make themselves back into the earth. When that happens , you will see a dead earthworm all dried up by the sun. Earthworms must come out of the earth if it rains a lot, because they can’t breathe in their flooded burrows. What a dangerous life !
