20、e.BA mouth is one part of the body, and we use our mouths for many things. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.Sometimes, we say something to a friend or a family member. Later we regret (后悔) because it hurts that persons feeli

21、ngs. Or we tell the person something we didnt mean to tell. The speaker might say, “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend is going to say. When this happens, the friend might say, “You took the words right out of my

22、 mouth!” Another time, a person has a bad or sad experience with another one. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth.” Or the person possibly has a very frightening (可怕的) experience, like having an angry dog running after him. He might say: “I had my heart in my mouth.”Some peopl

23、e have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. You might say the person “was born with a silver spoon (银勺) in his mouth”.

26、MouthsC. Expressions about MouthD. The Importance of MouthCIf you want to become a better reader, you should pay attention to the speed of your reading. Some people read very rapidly(快速地), while others read very slowly. But which one is better?The rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a st

27、orybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read directions carefully. He may read so rapidly that he does not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember.The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions (指南) for making some

28、thing. But he may spend too much time in reading a simple story which is interesting but is not important enough to be remembered.So, you see, either a rapid reader or a slow reader is not really a good one. If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important things to remember about spee

29、d of reading.Knowing why you are reading will often help you know whether to read rapidly or slowly.Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions, science and history books, and Maths problems. You must read them slowly or remember each important step and understand each impo

30、rtant idea. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends and some news from hometown papers.In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain pages r

31、apidly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas.58.

33、h title best gives the main idea of the passage?A. Something about Careful Reading B. Be a Rapid ReaderC. How to Read D. How to Be a Slow ReaderDWe have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. This is so familiar (熟悉) that we seldom ask the rea

34、son for it. But not everyone really understands why flowers open and close like this. The process is not as simple as we think, as a recent study shows. In the study, people kept flowers in a dark room for more than 24 hours. They thought that the flowers, without any information about the time of d

35、ay, would not open as they normally do. However, the flowers continued to open at their usual time. This shows that they have some magical way of knowing the time. Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is inside them, a kind of “inner clock”.This discovery (发现

36、) may not seem to be very important. However, people later found that not just plants but also animalsincluding manhave this “inner clock” which controls (控制) the working of their bodies and affects(影响) their activities. Men are also affected by this “magic”. Whether we wish it or not, it affects su

37、ch things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food.In the past, this did not matter very much because people lived in natural condition. In the modern world, things are different; now there are spacemen, plane pilots (飞行员) and a lot of other people who have to work at night. It would be

38、very useful to know more about the “inner clock”. The things we find from flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.62. A recent study shows that_ .A. flowers can be used for telling the timeB. different flowers open and close at different times of dayC. for opening and closing, flowers

39、do not need outside informationD. flowers are affected by weak light even when they are in a dark room63.

40、.A. is not an important discoveryB. is only found in animalsC. has not been understood so farD. always affects human life65.

41、e are more and more spacemen and plane pilotsD. we should try to live more naturally than we do now五、词汇运用（共10小题，每小题1分，计10分）根据句意，用括号中所给的汉语提示或单词的适当形式填空，使句意完整，每空一词。66.

44、ts? We can usually get positive (肯定的) answers. But why should students play sports? Some think that students play sports in order to have good health. Others think its a good way to help students have fun. But is that enough? No! If students play sports, they can get more than healthy bodies. Why? H

45、ere are three more reasons.The good news for the students who play sports is that it can be helpful in school. Some people think that doing exercise will take up students study time. But a recent study has shown that students who play sports get better scores in school than those who dont. Exercise
