第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the nest promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live . I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination, I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face, Learn to be happy, And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.

“I had a great
time this summer!”That’s what
“I learned a lot, and I met many new friends of my age. Some of them I miss even today,”she said.
Do you want to have a summer like Yang’s! It’s easy. Just go to summer camp! You can learn lots of things and have fun.
Lots
of kids all over the world are enjoying summer camps these days. They are
especially popular in
Some camps help you to learn other languages in foreign countries. Teachers introduce you to a family in another country. You go and live with them for a while. Every day, you get to talk with them, eat with them and maybe even go to parties.
While you’re in another country, you can also film a documentary to tell your friends and family about your life there. And when you get back home, you’ll have lots of pen pals.
If you’re interested in history, you can go to an archaeology camp. There, archaeologists will teach you how to carefully dig old things out of the ground. Then, in a laboratory, you’ll find out how old they are.
If you like outdoor sports, then go to an adventure camp! Kids do many different things at adventure camps. Canoeing is just one of them. This kind of camp is a good way to enjoy the outdoors. And doing so many things with others is a great way to make friends. If you need a rest, you can go fishing.
Of course, summer camps aren’t all about adventure or study. At some camps, kids do community service. Campers clean up their cities or spend time with old or sick people.
Summer campers get to meet people from different places and learn how to work with others. They also help kids to get stronger. So if you want to have fun this summer, why not try going to camp?

The official Olympic cheerleaders(拉拉隊(duì)隊(duì)長)are a lot different than what you would see on the sidelines at basketball or American-style football games. Cheerleader director Paola Bosio says about 500 girls tried out to become Olympic cheerleaders.
“At the end we chose 100 girls. We have six groups, three working in ice hockey, two at speed skating and one in the mountains. So this is the first time that there is cheerleading in the Olympic Games.”
Fans disagree on whether the cheerleaders are entertaining or just a kind of distraction. After all, they do not actually cheer and they do not wear skimpy uniforms. The all-girl squad（班，隊(duì)）, which ranges in age from 15 to 26, is dressed in bright orange and gold uniforms that cover them almost from shoulder to toe.
Besides
not cheering for any particular team at an event, the focus of the routines is
different. It is not the loud and spirited gymnastic performance one might see
at college and high school events in the
Cheerleader Camilla of Turin is 20 years old and has studied dance since she was 10. Her background includes classical dance and ballet as well as modern dance and pop. This is her first time as a cheerleader and she says she is enjoying the new experience.
Some
fans expressed the opinion that the pom-pom waving and dancing was distracting
because it took the focus off the athletic event they had come to see. But
Kathy Moine of
“I think they’re just supposed to be neutral and they’re supposed to be the Olympic torches,”she said.“Not for any country but just supporting everybody, happy to be in the Olympics.”
If by definition, cheerleaders should cheer for one side and make a lot of noise, then the Olympic squad still has a lot to learn. But if they are just here to look good and liven up the atmosphere during time-outs, many would agree they have been a complete success.
( )63．Where most likely can you enjoy the performance of the cheerleaders?
A．In the mountains.
B．During speed skating events.
C．In a dance-oriented competition.
D．At ice hockey games.

( )65．The example of Cheerleader Camilla shows us that ______.
A．a(chǎn)ll the cheerleaders are young and beautiful
B．the cheerleaders should be quite good at dancing
C．the cheerleaders are dressed little
D．it is difficult to be chosen as a cheerleader
( )66．What’s the main purpose of the cheerleaders according to the writer?
A．To support one side or team.

Computer
scientists in
The
project is led by Nicholas Negroponte, chief of the Media Lab at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) Mr.Negroponte first announced the
idea of a one-hundred-dollar laptop computer in January, 2005. He just gave an
early version of the computer at the World Summit on the Information Society.
The three-day meeting took place in
To save money, the computers are expected to use the free operating system Linux instead of something like Microsoft Windows. Users without electric power will be able to turn a wind-up handle to recharge the battery. A special full-color display will have the ability to change to a black-and-white image. That way, users could see it even in bright sunlight. The computers could also be able to connect wirelessly to each other and to the Internet.
The machines will not be able to hold a lot of information, but they will be made to work in rough conditions. Also, the lime-green color should make them more attractive to children-and less attractive to robbers.
MIT has set up a non-profit organization called One Laptop per Child to develop the computer. Five companies, including Google and News Corporation, have each given two million dollars to help pay for the work. The plan is to sell the computers to education ministries that order at least one million of them.
The laptop is still not finished, and there are other problems like how to get the Internet to poor villages, but officials say that the computers will be ready by the end of 2006 or early 2007.
Countries
that have expressed an interest include
The computers may cost more than one hundred dollars to make in the beginning, but Nicholas Negroponte says that he wants to cut the price even more.
A two-hundred-dollar version may be sold to the public.

As China has successfully launched its Shenzhou Ⅵ and Ⅱ Taikonauts, space exploration is a hot discussion, as this historic movement boasts（夸耀） technical, and most importantly, economic benefits.

But, insiders worry that many companies will use the names of astronauts, missions, and space crafts without proper authorization from the China National Space Administration.
