VI. Reading comprehension (阅读理解): (共50分)
A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 12分)
Do you have a mobile phone? Do you send text messages to your friends and family?
Text messaging or 'texting' is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling (肿胀) in our thumbs and wrists. Our thumbs are not made for pushing small buttons, over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI.
We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many patients with RSI. She said we needed to see how much time we were spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10-15 minutes at once, we could have problems in the future.
We also talked with Dr Harjeet Deepa who treats RSI patients. He told us that the youngest patient she had treated was a five-year-old girl. She wasn't doing well at school, so her parents took her for treatment. It was found that she had such bad RSI in her hands, she couldn't hold a pencil.
As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and playing video games can also cause the same problem. So, more and more people could find themselves with RSI.
Many university students and teenagers have RSI, as they do not know the risks (冒险) of spending so much time using computers, video games and mobile phones. If we don't do something about this, too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.
74. What causes the problem RSI?
A) More people have mobile phones. B) Texting is becoming very popular.
C) People type too many text messages. D) Our thumbs were made for pushing buttons.
75. _______ were interviewed about the problem RSI in this passage.
A) The writer and a little girl B) Harriet Wilson and Harjeet Deepa
C) Three scientists D) Four doctors
76. The underlined part "at once" in the third paragraph means "________".
A) right away B) at one time
C) finally D) immediately
77. The little girl who Dr. Harjeet Deepa treated couldn't hold a pencil because ________.
A) she didn't go to school B) she was only five years old
C) she had no thumbs at all D) she suffered a lot from RSI
78. You can probably read this passage in a ________.
A) comic strip B) story book
C) science book D) detective story
79. From the passage we know _________.
A) it is better to use a larger phone with bigger buttons
B) it is worse to spend less time typing the text messages
C) using the computer keyboard will never cause the problem RSI
D) university students who have RSI know it's dangerous to do too much texting.

Mark was very experienced and was thought by many to be the finest 3,000-metre runner in the country. Until a few months before, Jim was almost unknown outside his hometown.

Later, after the judges had studied the video of the race, they decided that Jim had done nothing wrong. Jim went to see Mark and Mark really felt happy.
"I'm sorry for…" Jim said.
"It's not your mistake. I got cramp (抽筋) in my leg when I was running." Mark interrupted Jim. "Such a thing 85 happens to me up till now. I've got to talk with the doctor and see what's wrong with my leg. I'm afraid if the second time will come."

Li Ming has studied in the UK for nearly two years now. But he'll never forget his first few weeks of living in a different country.
The Food
In China, I'll eat almost anything. But I remember the first food I tasted at school in England. We had this soup and it tasted of n 86 at all. In China, our food is quite salty, but we like it because the salt m 87 it taste nice. A friend advised me to try some cheese and biscuits. I thought biscuits were the same as 'cookies' in America but I was wrong. Again, I felt disappointed at the taste of the biscuits and the cheese was really sour.
Introductions
In China when you meet someone for the first time, you sometimes shake hands. I was so s 88 when my friend's mother gave me a kiss when I left his house. I felt so embarrassed and I know my face went very red at that moment.
T 89
When I want to go anywhere in China, I just take my bicycle. Here in England, I have to get a bus everywhere. It's really confusing b 90 buses don't stop automatically like they do in Beijing. You have to put your hand out, ring the bell or press the signal button.
Socialising (社交)
I remember when I went around to a friend's house and I wanted to say "thank you" to his mother. In China, we often give people cakes as p 91 . The boy's mother stared at the cake. She was trying to be polite but I knew from her face that I had taken something wrong. In England, a cake is more o 92 given on someone's birthday.
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)
Every month, junior high schools in China choose one hero of the month. This person is a hero because he or she has done something to help protect animals in danger. Huang Jing decided to write a letter to the President of China.
Dear Mr. President,
I have been doing a project at school recently about animals in danger. I think the situation all over the world is really awful. I am writing to you to suggest what China should do to help protect animals more.
I know that there are nearly 2,000 nature reserves (保护区) in China, which is good. I live in Beijing and there are about 30 reserves outside the city. We visited one of them last month to see for ourselves.
I feel so sorry for the giant panda. It's one of the most popular animals in the world and a real symbol of China. We learned that pandas mainly live on bamboo, and that a panda can eat half its body weight of bamboo in 24 hours! That's a lot of bamboo. I think we should try to do more to stop cutting down their forests. Pandas are already a rare animal and it would be so sad if they became extinct (灭绝) forever.
The other animal we should try to protect more is the Chinese alligator (扬子鳄). These creatures live in some parts of eastern China. These beautiful animals live in freshwater rivers and lakes but the water in some places isn't clean enough for them to live in. It's really dirty in fact. The government should stop factories polluting the lakes and rivers.
If we protect these beautiful animals in China, more people may wish to visit China to see them. They could be an important tourist attraction. It would be good if more people came to visit our beautiful country, especially to see the quieter areas in the country. Now most visitors just see the cities.
I hope you will encourage more people to think about such an important subject.
Sincerely yours,
Huang Jing
