第三节：阅读理解。（15题，每题2分，共30分, 请把答案涂在答题卡题号36-50中）
(A)
The US government has launched a website, Admongo, to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them. It claims to provide visitors with an “education” through games and other entertainments.
A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. “Call me Haiz”, he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. The inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities. Kids of that age are also a big market for advertisers.
The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: to identify the advertiser, to know what the advertiser is really saying, and to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.
Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. There are different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes, which are up to the kids. Then they begin a trip through ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level. The game takes players everywhere ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.
One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says it is a big business. The FTC estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people last year.
The FTC says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.
A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value. First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children.
36. What is the best title of the text?
A. The Guide of Admongo B. An Education Website for Children
C. A Popular Online Video Game D. A Website Aimed at Children
37. What’s the purpose of Admongo?
A. To attract the biggest market of buyers.
B. To teach children to tell poor products from good ones.
C. To help children know about advertising.
D. To oppose misleading advertising.
38. What can players do in the website game?
A. Choose hair styles for their character. B. Shop in a supermarket.
C. Eat in a fast-food restaurant. D. Play with their peers during the trip.
39. Children are important for advertising because they are __________.
A. important for the society B. the most potential buyers
C. easily influenced by ads D. easily affected by poor products
40. According to Michelle Obama, lots of food advertised for children are __________.
A. healthy B. of high quality C. yummy D. of low quality

（B）
A local government in Eastern England is starting a new plan for getting children to and from school. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads.
Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school.
The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school's headmaster.
Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than £20 a term.
They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away from Impington. The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.
41.What is the aim of the plan?
A. To prevent the students' road accidents. B. To relieve the traffic pressure.
C. To save time for the parents and students. D. To help the parents save money.
42. How can the local government arrange the new bus service at a low cost?
A. By letting the bus run in the morning only.
B. By limiting the number of the students.
C. By getting the support from the headmaster.
D. By linking the new bus service with the existing one.
43.The new bus service will be paid for by _________
A. the parents . B. the local government
C. the bus company D. the local government and the parents
44.Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out?
A. The bus company will make much more money.
B. The children can choose whatever school they like.
C. The parents can get rid of their worries.
D. The students in Impington School can have free bus rides.
45. This passage is most probably _________ .
A. a personal letter B. an advertisement C. a headmaster's report D. a newspaper article

（C）
In my long years of teaching, I often ask my student to read the texts until they can recite them, and I tell them that recitation is an important part of their homework. However, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. They argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and text itself never appears in a test paper.
In my opinion, it naturally takes time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so. When you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. When you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, and so you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can we say that it is useless?
Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what they were once able to recite. This is true, but you don’t need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised. Sure you don’t remember your Chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspaper. So, recitation of the texts will help you improve your language ability.
46. The writer often asks his students to recite the texts,_______.
A. But they don’t like to do so.
B. And they are eager to do so
C. But they wrote a letter to the Department of Education reporting the thing.
D. But they do more exercises instead of reciting the texts.
47. What do the students think about the teacher’s advice?
A. The English teacher tries his best to help them with English.
B. The English teacher is very kind to them.
C. The English teacher asks them to do something useless.
D. The English teacher should let them study on their own.
48. According to the text, which of the following is correct?
A. The teacher thinks the students are too naughty to learn English well.
B. The students think they spend a lot of time in reciting the texts and get nothing.
C. The students say that they often forget the words.
D. The students take no interest in English.
49. When the students are against his suggestion, the writer_______.
A. often criticizes them B. patiently explains to them why they should recite the texts
C. wants to give up his idea D. is afraid that he is criticized by the headmaster.
50. Why does the writer suggest that the students recite the text?
A. Reciting the texts can improve the ability of applying English.
B. Reciting the texts is the best way of learning English.
C. The students should remember all the texts that the teacher has taught them.
