三、阅读理解
If you’re in a hard time, a tiny thing may be the greatest help for you. That’s touch. Touch is one of the most important of our five senses. It is one of the first senses we develop. One of the most commonly accepted forms of touch among people is also one of the first experiences we have in the world---A hug!
There is no better way to understand the importance of hugs than to lose them. For those who have experienced the loss of hugs, you will know how important they are to share.
A recent research has shown that when people hug, the brain releases things which increases our willingness to trust and reduces fear. It has also shown hugs are great for your heart.
In 1995, a pair of newly born twins was being cared for in hospital. While one of the twins seemed quite healthy, her sister was not. After trying different medical treatments, the nurse on duty, Gayle Kasparian, placed the twins in bed together. The twins immediately snuggled (依偎) up to each other. As one placed her arm around the other, the weak baby became better gradually. How great the power of a hug is!
The need for hugs doesn’t disappear as we grow older, though it seems we are less willing to give them. Research on people of all ages has proven that a hug is necessary for physical and emotional health.
Without hugs we can become sad. A hug provides safety and gentleness. A hug provides us with social contact, a sense of health and a feeling of importance and belonging.
( ) 1 The underlined word "they" in the second paragraph refers to __________.
A. touches B. people C. hugs D. experiences
( ) 2 The story of the twins tells us ___________.
A. twins should be placed in bed together B. the power of a hug is great
C. twins can look after each other well D. medical treatments are important
( ) 3 Which of the statements is TRUE according of the passage?
A. A hug is the only form of touch among people.
B. The loss of hugs can make them more important.
C. Hugs can get people to trust each other more. D. We don’t need hugs when we grow older.
四、任务型阅读,一空一词。
Every sport has its great legends(传奇): soccer has Pele, basketball has Michael Jordan, and tennis, Steffi Graf. Is there one athlete who people consider to be the best ever? Many would say that person is boxer Muhammad Ali, known to his many fans as ‘the greatest.’
Ali was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1942. At the age of twelve, after his bike was stolen, young Ali began boxing; by the time he reached high school, he was a great amateur(业余) boxer. After winning six state and two national boxing championships, he competed in the 1960 Olympic, where he won a gold medal. That same year, at the age of eighteen, he became a professional boxer.
From the start of his career it was clear that Ali was different from other athletes. He was outspoken, confident, strong-willed and talked publicly about himself and his beliefs(信仰). The man who called himself ‘the greatest’ still faced many challenges, though. After winning his Olympic gold medal, he returned home to the United States. He was not allowed to stay in certain hotels or eat in certain restaurants because of the color of his skin. Ali was disgusted(反感) with racism in the U.S., so he threw his Olympic medal into a river.
In 1964, Ali beat Sonny Liston to become the world heavyweight champion. Ali surprised the world again in 1966, not for his boxing skills, but for his political beliefs. He disagreed with the U.S. war in Vietnam and refused to join the army, which all young men in the U.S. had to do at the same time. As a result, Ali’s heavyweight title was taken away, and he was sent to prison for five years.
Ali retired(退休) from boxing in 1981, ending a career of sixty-one fights, of which he won fifty-six. In 1996, he was recognized as a sporting hero at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Atlanta. The crowd at the Game cheered as Ali, now suffering from Parkinson’s disease, lit the Olympic flame-no longer the strongest, but still the greatest.

五、阅读回答问题**每题答案不超过五个词**
Time is important for everyone. It organizes our everyday moments. However, before I received a watch from my father, time never had any importance in my life.
I received this gift on a Sunday. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 a. m. to meet Uncle Jim and take him home. However, I was late because I played with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 a. m., I remembered my uncle and went to the airport to meet him, but I was too late. He had left the airport.
I got home at 2:00 p. m. Looking at my father's face, I felt sorry. My father asked me to sit next to him and handed me this watch. Then he said, “Bob, did you have fun with your friends today?” "Yes, but I'm sorry about not meeting Uncle Jim. "I replied. He then said," What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions. I think you should learn something from it, and this watch will be a reminder for you in your future life. ”
The watch is very important to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.
