三. 阅读理解( 共10题，每小题2分，满分20分 )

( A )

When you get up in the morning, do you find it hard to choose what clothes to wear? If so, you probably need help to make the bigger choices in your life, like what to do when you’re older. “Brave New Girls”, by American author Jean Gadeberg, will help you make such choices. It says you must be a brave new girl. A brave new girl is one who is confident, healthy and happy. A brave new girl can realize her dreams. To be brave, you need to make a decision for yourself. Other people may tell you what to do, but you should not listen to them. You must only do what you want. If you always wear clothes like your favorite TV star, you must stop doing so. Instead, become your own star and wear the clothes you want. You have to like your body, it says. If you don’t, you will not take good care of it and won’t stay healthy. The book also says that girls must start becoming more confident. If you are confident, you’ll succeed in life. A good way to become confident is to realize that you are as clever as boys. In fact you are. Just look at their grades! Only then can you realize your dreams and become who you want to be.

( ) 1. What quality should a brave new girl have?

A. Confident

B. Healthy

C. Happy

D. A, B and C ( ) 2. Suppose(假如) you are a brave new girl, which answer is wrong?

A. Make a decision for yourself

B. Wear clothes like your favourite TV star

C. Like your body

D. Realize that you are as clever as boys. ( ) 3. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. To be brave

B. A good book

C. To be a brave new girl

D. Realize dreams

Dear Mum,

I don’t think you understand my life. You think I should be studying all the time. I know you want me to find a good job when I grow up, but I would like to have a wonderful time, too. You never think about funny things for me to do, like music, sports. Two days ago, when I was watching a football game on TV, you asked me to stop and do my homework. After finishing my homework, still I wasn’t allowed to read my football magazines. You said I had to go to bed early. That was bad enough, but yesterday was the worst day. I bought some computer games, and put them in my bag so that you wouldn’t see them. But finally you found them and took them away. Mum, I didn’t quite like what you did to me! I really love you, mum, but I wish you could try not to be hard on me.

Love,

People all over the world love oranges. They are sweet and juicy. They are in sections(多个部分) so it is easy to eat them. Some oranges do not have any seeds. Some have a thick skin and some have a thin skin.

The orange tree is very beautiful. It has a lot of shiny green leaves. The small white flowers smell very sweet. An orange tree has flowers and fruit at the same time.

There were orange trees twenty million years ago. The oranges were very small, not like the ones today. The orange tree probably came from China. Many different kinds of oranges grow there today. Chinese started to grow orange trees about 2400 BC. Chinese art has lovely old pictures of oranges and orange trees.

Farmers in other parts of Asia and Middle East learned to grow oranges from the Chinese. Then they taught Europeans. The Spanish planted orange trees in the New World(North and South America). They took them to Florida first. Oranges are a very important crop in Florida today.

Orange is both a fruit and a colour. The colour of oranges is so beautiful that in English we use the name of the fruit for the colour.
