An airhostess would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to traveling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport. While we were waiting to land, an airhostess told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened. Later we learned that there was a very important person on board. The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane. After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly(被彻底搜查). Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again.根据短文内容判断正（T）误（F）（1）The writer used to fly much when he was a boy.（2）The writers parents used to live in South Africa.（3）While they were waiting to land, an airhostess told them to be calm.（4）Nine hours later they could take off again.（5）There was really a bomb on the plane.19. （6分）阅读理解Does your child struggle in school? 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 difficulties parents may have in helping their children with learning disabilities.D . Some warning signs which show that a child may have learning disabilities.20. （10分）根据短文内容的理解，选择正确的答案。Dear Sir,I would like to recommend Liu Hua for this years Youth Service Award.Liu Hua is a clever girl.
