第三部分 閱讀理解 (共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分)
A
On August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley saved e.
The previous afternoon, I played with y six-year-old peers in Heather Peters’ backyard. I was enjoying y cake, when Heather asked e where y sleeping bag was. Only then did I know this party was a sleepover. The word “sleep-over” to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what “cancer” eans to an adult. But what if I told the I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running fro it.
I thought of a way to escape. I would explain that I needed y other's perission to spend the nights. But as I called y o, Heather stood beside e to listen. She granted perission! Then I would be sleeping in the sae living roo as the other girls. I didn't bring y own pajaas (睡衣)，so rs. Peters offered e Heather's pajaas.
As the other girls drifted into their sweet dreas, I tried to stay awake. “Do I need to go again? I'll stay up to go one ore tie.. .”.Of course , I finally fell asleep.
The next orning , I was the first to wake up. I was war! I lay in panic for what seeed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. I did the only thing I could do ― I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen. I got up, took off Heather's pajaas and changed into y clothes like the other girls.
rs. Peters walked into the roo, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of y wet pajaas. y heart stopped as I watched her face burn red. “WHO DID THIS?” She screaed, with a look so frightening. Should I answer? And that was when it happened ― r. Peters cae in and grabbed his wife , ‘‘Elvis Presley died!”
The news of the King's death overtook rs. Peters, and I ,was spared. I got hoe without the other girls knowing what had happened.

Children's lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years. But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?
It's difficult to look back on one's own childhood without soe eleent of nostalgia（懷舊的). I have four brothers and sisters, and y eories are all about being with the. Playing board gaes on the living roo floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or exploring the nearby woods. y parents hardly appear in these eories, except as providers either of eals or of severe blae after soe particularly risky adventure.
These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed greatly．Firstly, failies are saller, and there are far ore only children. It is coon for both parents to work outside the hoe and there is the feeling that there just isn't tie to bring up a large faily, or that no one could possibly afford to have ore than one child. As a result, today's boys and girls spend uch of their tie alone. Another ajor change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge aount of their free tie at hoe, inside. ore than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far ore than they used to about real or iagined dangers, so they wouldn't drea of letting their children play outside by theselves.
Finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different. Coputer and video gaes have replaced the board gaes and ore interesting activities of y childhood. The irony（令人啼笑皆非的事情）is that so any ways of playing gaes are called "interactive”. The fact that you can play electronic gaes on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by any young people today.
Do these changes ean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the sae .
64．What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first paragraph?
A．To show who the passage is written for.
B．To gather people's opinions on childhood.
C．To get people's attention and lead in the topic.
D．To copare the childhood lives of two generations.
65．Which is a reason for the changes?
A．Failies are bigger today.B．It's too dangerous to play outside.
C．Children play ore interactive gaes. D．Parents worried too uch about their children.
66．What does the writer focus on in the fourth paragraph?
A．Young people today shouldn't play electronic gaes.
B．Coputer and video gaes have replaced the board gaes.
C．Soe gaes that young people play today aren't really good.
D．Board gaes are uch ore interesting than coputer gaes.
67．The writer's attitude towards the childhood changing is ________ .
A．a(chǎn)pproving B．objective C．unconcerned D．optiistic
D
As you clib into the hill country, the roads get dustier and rougher, and fewer cars can be seen. Phonxay is one of the poorest districts of Laos, and any of its villages are only accessible by footpath. Our destination this hot orning is a concrete water tank that can be found just off the road. A UK organization helped to build it six years ago, and in the nearby village of Thapho, where clean drinking water is scarce, it has ade a big difference. The tank feeds six taps which in turn give water to over 800 people---it has iproved things for alost every faily, fro schoolchildren to grannies.
But lately, we were told, the clean water supply has coe under pressure fro new arrivals, people who have coe down fro the hill areas, and there are concerns that there will not be enough clean water to go round.
There are also serious worries about resources in Laos. The Chinese are building a 400k railway link, which could transfor the landlocked country. About 150,000 Chinese workers will be involved. What will this do to local clean water supplies? How will the workers be fed?
The vast ajority of Laotians live on fars. But with foreign investors wanting to buy up land, local people will have to be oved to ake roo for the. Heavily dependent on both foreign aid and foreign investent, Laos still falls well behind its neighbours, although its econoy has grown at about 6% a year in the last decade. Its biggest econoic proble is the lack of locally trained skilled workforce.
But there are reasons to be hopeful for the future. Laos is beautiful, and foreign touris continues to grow: fortunately so far the fast-food chains and coffee bars coon elsewhere are nowhere to be seen. Although all local edia are governent-run, the Internet is not controlled and the BBC and CNN are available to those with satellite dishes.
The governent has also achieved ipressive results in rural developent, with counities benefiting not just fro cleaner water but the construction of new schools and regular visits fro edical teas. Poverty will not be history in Laos within the next decade, but with sall steps forward and a bit of outside help, the country could find itself out of the UN’s least-developed category by 2020.
68. The underlined word ”scarce” in paragraph 1 ost probably eans_________.
A. valuable B. rare C. infrequent D. issing
69. What is putting pressure on the local supply of clean water?
A. Dust fro the road is aking the water dirtier.
B. There are too any taps accessing the water.
C. The population of the area is growing fast.
D. The coing suer will dry up rivers and lakes.
70. What is the ost serious liitation on Laos’ econoic growth?
A. The lack of local skilled workers. B. A poor transportation syste.
C. Too uch foreign aid. D. Too any foreign workers.
71. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Laos: sall steps forward. B. Laos: slow-developing nations
C. Laos: least-developed land D. Laos: landlocked country
E
He wrote that the “huan ind is capable of exciteent without the application of gross(粗俗的) and violent stiulants(刺激物)”. And it appears that siply reading those words by Willia Wordsworth proves his point.
Researchers at the University of Liverpool found the works of Shakespeare and Wordsworth and the like had a beneficial effect on the ind, lifting the readers’ spirits by catching their attention and leading to oents of self-reflection.
Using equipent, they exained the brain activity of volunteers as they read pieces of classical English literature both in their original for and in a ore siplified, odern translation.
And, according to the Sunday Telegraph, the experient showed the ore “challenging” works set off far ore electrical activity in the brain than the ordinary versions.
The research also found poetry, in particular, increased activity in the right heisphere (腦半球) of the brain, an area concerned with “autobiographical eory”, which helped the reader to reflect on and reevaluate their own experiences in light of what they had read. The acadeics said this eant the classics were ore useful than self-help books.
The brain responses of 30 volunteers was onitored in the first part of the research as they read Shakespeare in its original and “odern” for.
In one exaple, volunteers read a line fro King Lear, “A father and a gracious(仁慈的) aged an: hi have you added ”, before reading the sipler “A father and a gracious aged an: hi you have enraged(使暴怒)”.
Shakespeare's use of the adjective “ad” as a verb caused a higher level of brain activity than the straightforward translation.
“Reading classics is not just a atter of style. It is a atter of deep versions of experience that prootes the cognitive(認(rèn)知的) ability,” said Prof Davis, who will present the findings at the North of England education conference in Sheffield this week.
72. What does the author suggest by saying “siply reading those words by Willia Wordsworth proves his point”?
A. Willia Wordsworth’s poes are full of wisdo.
B. It excites readers to read Willia Wordsworth’s poes.
C. Only gross and violent words can arouse people’s exciteent.
D. Willia Wordsworth’s poes are the application of gross and violent stiulants.
73. In what way did the researchers ake their conclusion?
A. By questionnaire.B. By online chatting.
C. By lab experient.D. By telephone intervie
74. According to the researchers at the University of Liverpool, reading classical works can benefit readers in ________.
A. helping relieve their pressure B. helping the focus ore on their work
C. helping the think about theselves carefully
D. helping keep their spirits up for a whole day
75. Which of the following sets off the ost electrical activity in the brain?
A. Reading nursery rhyes.

One possible version:
It was Grandpa’s birthday party. It was not easy to have his children and grandchildren all back hoe together. But they just busied theselves in playing their cellphones, totally ignoring their grandpa, who let out a deep sigh and left the party.
There is no doubt that cellphones have a negative ipact on our lives. Heavy use of cellphones actually widens the distance between teenagers and their elders, leaving the elders ore lonely. Worse still, addition to cellphones ight also leads to teenagers’ poor perforance at school, which adds to elders’ worries.
As far as I’ concerned, it’s necessary to liit the tie we spend using cellphones. And I attach great iportance to counicating with our faily ebers face to face, which helps build a haronious faily atosphere.

W: Good orning, everyone. y nae is Helen Green. Now , I’d like to say soething about y job. Last year I worked as a secretary to the general anager of a large copany in our town. I was happy and satisfied with y job. Then suddenly our copany was hit by econoic troubles. ost of the eployees knew nothing about it until one day we were told that we had to leave. Although I was very sad and worried, I soon overcae the shock. I had worked for any years and I knew how to do y job well. I felt quite confident that I would have little difficulty in quickly finding a siilar position with another copany before long. I applied for several jobs. But I was told that I was too experienced and they couldn’t pay e the high salary I had earned before. I had been out of a job for alost two onths. Then I saw a sall advertiseent in the newspaper one evening. A shopkeeper was wanted. I realised that I had no choice but to accept what was offered to e. However, I’ not tired of y present job because I’ still working. What about you? Do you like your jobs?
