阅读理解训练题（三）AImagine a boy from a small village in East Africa, He from a very early age has been looking after cattle. At twelve years old he knows mote about cattle than most of you. However, he has never been to school. Has dais boy ever had any education?Education is discovering about ourselves and about the people and things around us. All the people who care about us our parents, brothers , sisters, friends are our teachers. In fact, we learn something from everyone we meet. We start learning on the day we are born, not on the first day we go to school . Every day we have new experiences, like finding a birds nest, discovering a new street in our neighborhood, making friends with someone we didnt like before. New experiences are even more fun when we share them with other people.Encouragement from the people around us enables us to explore things as much as possible. As we grow up, we begin to find out what we are capable of doing. You may be good at cooking, or singing or playing football. You find this out by doing these things. Just thinking about cooking doesnt tell you if you are good at it.We learn so much just living from day to day. So why is school important? Of course you can learn some things better at home than at school, like how to do the shopping, and how to help old or disabled people who can t do everything for themselves. At school, teachers help us to read and write. With their guidance, we begin to see things in different ways.56. The writer takes the African boy as an example to show that _.A.

Li said.61. According to the article, which of the following statements is true?A. China Motion Picture Industry Promotion Law, with the film rating system in it, has been put into practice.B.

Which of the following is the best title for the news ?A. Film Rating System A MustB. China Motion Picture Industry Promotion lawC. New Film Rating System and Old RegulationD. New Film Rating System Against some Unhealthy Western FilmsCA historic journey across the Solar System reached its end on Friday as a little probe (探测器)took a big step for human knowledge.The US $ 3 billion Cassini-Huygens mission(使命), a joint project of NASA and the European and Italian space agencies was launched in 1997 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, to study Saturn, its rings, its moons and its magnetosphere(磁层) which surrounds it.Huygens was named after the Dutch scientist who discovered Titan in 1655, NASA officials said. Some science team members monitoring the flight at the European Space Agencys Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany, have waited tens of years to see the first of 750 pictures and other scientific readings from the yellow- skied moon. I have been in this mission almost 21 years and I m very excited, ESA mission manager Jean -Pierre LeBreton said at a news conference on Thursday.“Im also quite sure we arc going to see something very special tomorrow (on Friday) Timers inside the probe will awaken it just before it enters Titans atmosphere. Huygens is shaped like a wok(锅) and covered with a heat shield(防护装置) so that it can survive the extreme heat that it will face upon entry. It will then unfold a series of parachutes to slow its fall to the moons reddish surface, expected to take about 2.5 hours.As it goes down, the probe will lose its heat shield and unfold its special camera and instruments tobegin collecting information on wind speeds and the makeup of Titans atmosphere. This is the momentscientists have been waiting for. This data will then be sent back to Cassini, which will relay it to NASAs Deep Space Network in California and on to ESA controllers in Darmstadt German. Scientists believe the organic chemical reaction taking place on Titan are similar to the process that gave rise to life on Earth.Its atmosphere is mostly nitrogen, like Earth, but its surface temperature of about minus 180 makes it improper to life.Titan, believed to be the only moon in the solar system with an atmosphere, is larger than the planets Mercury and Pluto.64. Huygens was named after .A. an ESA mission managerB. a Dutch scientist who discovered Saturn in 1655C. an astronomer who first discovered TitanD. scientists from NASA and the European and Italian space agencies65. What does the yellow-skied moon refer to?A. Saturn. B. Titan.C. The moon around the earth. D. Solar System.66. According to the text, the following statements are all true except _.A. scientists think Titan is bigger than Mercury and PlutoB. the information to be collected by Huygens will be sent back to Cassini, then to NASAs Deep Space Network and last to ESA controllersC. some science team member have waited decades and seen the first of 750 images and other scientific readings from the yellow-skied moonD. only NASA. has been working for the project of HuygensDI don t know if I am missing the greatest pleasure of my life. I am no fan of computer games. Some guys forget themselves and forget day and night when they play games. For example, a colleague has been playing since 1 oclock this morning and now it is 7 oclock. He is still commanding his army of little people to attack strange-looking animals. Some games could be fun, 1 admit, and it is therefore understandable that such a game catches players. For example, games like Red Storm or some role-play games, you do something and try to outwit(智胜) your computer. You get some fun out of these games. It is understandable that such a game pushes you into a pitfall(陷阱) of pleasures. But some games look quite stupid and simple. Again for example, my colleague has been interested in Stone Age, a cartoon-like game rooted in prehistoric time. The game is well made, full of strange people and animals and you can play on line with partners. You can have reference books to study so as to shortcut your rivals(对手) and increase your own conquering power.I believe some kinds of games are really created for adults. But seeing these adults play the simple games with such interest, I just wonder if there is something wrong with me and if I am losing the greatest possible fun of my life. I ask why I don t bother playing such games and why I seem to have some aversion(讨厌) to such games. I have no answers. Certainly computer games is no my idea of a good time. I would rather listen to some music or read a book. Take music for example. Good music tops my list of pleasures. Nothing could beat music, all in a harmony of sounds and emotions. But how about games? Why an I so strongly biased(偏见) against such games?67. From the passage we know that _.A. the author is a fan of computer games.

The radio operator in the control tower looked at his watch. It was 3:15 p.m. Lieutenant Charles Taylor and five Navy bombers were in trouble. We are off course. We cannot see landrepeatwe cannot see land.The control tower grew silent. The operator garbed (戴上) his microphone. What is your position? We are not sure of our position, Lieutenant Taylor replied. We seem to be lost. Taylor had over 2,500 hours of flight time. What was happening?The tower called back: Assume bearing(方位) due west. We dont know which way is west, Taylor replied. Everything is wrongstrange We cannot be sure of any directionEven the ocean looks odd The radio operator told Taylor to fly north with the sun on the left until he reached a Naval Air Station. Anyone could find the sun, especially a good pilot like Taylor. Soon the radio crackled again. We have just passed over a small island, said the pilot. No other land in sight. That was the last message Flight 19 sent to the radio tower. Five Navy bombers were lost. They had left the Naval Air Station for a routine(常规的) training flight at 2:00 p.m., December 5, 1945. Each plane had enough fuel to fly more than a thousand miles. The weather was sunny and mild. Pilots from other flights had not seen anything strange there. So what happened? How could five Navy bombers and their crews just disappear?The search for the five bombers covered 380,000 square miles of land and sea. Hundreds of boats and planes searched large areas of the Atlantic, the Caribbean, the Gulf
