Is he or she afraid of reading out loud, writing an essay, or working out a math problem? While every kid has trouble with homework from time to time, if a certain area of learning keeps going wrong, it might show a learning disorder. Learning disorders, or learning disabilities, are a general term for a large number of learning problems.A learning disability is not a problem with IQ or motivation. Kids with learning disabilities arent lazy or slow. In fact, most are just as smart as everyone else. Their brains are just wired differently. Simply put, children and adults with learning disabilities see, hear, and understand things differently. This difference influences how they receive and process information. This can lead to trouble in learning new information and skills, and putting them to use.It can be hard to face the possibility that your child has a learning disorder. No parents want to see their children suffer. You may wonder what it could mean for your childs future, or worry about how your kid will make it through at school. But the important thing to remember is that most kids with learning disabilities are just as smart as everyone else. They just need to be taught in ways that suit their special learning styles.Its not always easy to tell whether a child has learning disabilities, for learning disabilities look very different from one child to another. One child may struggle with reading and spelling, while another loves books but cant understand math. Still another child may have difficulty understanding what others are saying or communicating out loud. However, some warning signs are more common than others at different ages. If you realize what they are, youll be able to catch a learning disorder early and quickly start to help your child.（1）The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A . their brains are connected by different wiresB . their brains have a different way of receiving and processing informationC . their brains have different functionsD . their brains are made up of something different from that of normal people（2）From the passage, we can infer that _.A . students with learning disabilities look quite different from normal studentsB . students with learning disabilities cant do well in their studiesC . only few students with learning disabilities are as clever as normal studentsD . it is quite possible for a student with learning disabilities to succeed in their studies（3）What will be most probably discussed following the Paragraph 4?A . Some ways to help parents teach their children with learning disabilities better.B . Some suggestions on how to get along with their children with learning disabilities.C .

Some warning signs which show that a child may have learning disabilities.8. （10分） In the most southern part of our planet, theres a place thats covered with snow and ice all year round. But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth.As the worlds least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. In 1983, China joined the Antarctic Treaty (南极条约). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen (速冻) food which can be heated easily is peoples daily food. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.Sleep is also troublesome. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create “night”.Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force (七级以上的) winds. Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. It can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.Whats more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientists passion to learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.（1）From Paragraph 1, we learn that the Antarctica _.A . is covered with snow and iceB . rains heavily from time to timeC . has little wind most of the timeD . has sunshine during every night（2）Scientists from China go to Antarctica to _.A . find out ways to control water pollutionB . research climate change and marine biologyC . grow plants and vegetables in special conditionD . stop the hunters from killing the marine biology（3）In order to sleep well in Antarctica, the scientists have to _.A . wear more clothes to keep warmB . cover the windows with black clothC . connect research stations with ropesD . eat more fried and canned vegetables（4）We can replace (替换) the underlined word passion in the last paragraph with .A . strong loveB . full preparationC . pleasant introductionD . amazing imagination（5）The passage is mainly about .A . view of the AntarcticaB . exploring the AntarcticaC . how to survive in the AntarcticaD . climate changes of the Antarctica9. （10分） In Britain you may often hear Drop in any time or Come to see me soon, but you cant really do that.

Lets learn something about them.Public librariesMost towns in Britain have a public library. A library usually has a large selection of books and other resources, which library members can use and borrow for free.Britains First Public LibraryThe first Britains public library opened in Manchester in 1852. Its first librarian was a man called Edward Edwards. Edwards attended the librarys opening ceremony and two famous writers called Charles Dickens and William Thackeray were there, too.Services of libraryModern public libraries have something for everyone. Most of them have audio books, CDs, newspapers and DVDs as well as books to borrow.How to Join a LibraryTo join a library, go to your local library and fill in a form. Youll receive a library card which is needed when using library services.Mobile LibrariesNot everyone can get to a library. Some people live far away from towns and cities. Other people find it difficult to go out because they have an illness or a disability. Thanks to mobile libraries, these people can still borrow books.The libraries are special. Unlike most libraries, which store books in buildings, mobile libraries usually keep their books in a mini-bus. The back of the mini-bus has shelves for the books, and it is big enough for borrowers to step inside and look around. A driver take the mini-bus to a certain place at a certain time, so people know when to expect it. They can return their books and borrow some more.All Aboard the Library!A school in London didnt have space for a library inside the building. However, everybody agreed that it was still important to have a school library. So, the head of the school, Graham Blake, decided to park an old bus on the school car park and change it into a library. Pupils helped to paint the bus, and after eight months, the new
