A
Some people have the feeling that nothing can be done about their poor reading ability. They feel hopeless about it. Can you learn to read better, or must you agree that nothing can be done about it?
To be sure, people are different. You cannot expect to do everything as well as certain other people
do. If all the students in a class tried out for basketball, some would be very good players; others would be very poor; and many would be in between. But even the very poor players can become much better players if they are guided in the right way, and with plenty of practice. It is the same with reading. Some seem to enjoy reading and to read well without any special help. Others find reading a slow and tiring job. In between, there are all degrees of reading ability.
Many experiments have shown that just about every poor reader can improve his reading ability. In these experiments, the poor readers were given tests of reading ability. After some of the causes of their reading were discovered, they were given special instruction and practice in reading. After a few months, another test of the same kind was given. In nearly all cases, these people had raised their reading scores.

A. why certain people are poor readers        B. that there are differences in people’s abilities
C. why some people are good basketball players
D. that good basketball players can be good readers
42.   To improve their reading ability, people should ________.
A. work long and hard                               B. take different forms of tests
C. have special help and practice                 D. try different reading materials
43.   The experiments mentioned in the text show that ________.
A. good readers seem to enjoy reading        
B. almost all poor readers can make progress
C. causes of poor reading were difficult to find out
D. tests help people improve their reading ability
44.   What does the underlined sentence “many would be in between” mean?
A. It means that many are the best basket players.
B. It means that many are the worst basket players.
C. It means that many are standing in the middle of the line.
D. It means that there are several levels of players in many students.
45.   What’s the purpose of the author’s writing this passage?
A. To encourage people to improve their reading ability.
B. To suggest that readers should do practice only in reading.
C. To tell us that readers can’t improve their reading ability without special help.
D. To tell us that to be a good reader, one should be guided in the right way.

閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)要求完成文章后的題目。
When your family travels or is away from its usual eating and sleeping routines, probably someone will get sick. It can take time to adapt to the food, water and air in a new environment, and kids can be especially __________________________ travel-related problems, including motion sickness, diarrhea（腹瀉），and infections（傳染病）.
Motion sickness is caused by a disagreement between the eyes and ears: the inner ears notice movement. But the eyes, focused within a car or other vehicles, do not. These different signals coming into the brain cause a lot of problems such as sickness, dizziness, paleness, and cold sweats. Motion sickness often happens on ships and boats, but it can also affect kids when they travel in planes, buses, and cars. Here are some ways to help kids fight motion sickness:
★Before you leave, have your child eat a light meal, as motion sickness seems worse on an empty stomach. Provide foods that are easily digested and avoid fatty foods.
★Try to avoid eating during short trips. For longer trips, have a small amount of drinks and eat light, small meals and snacks.
★If your child is feeling sick, provide some mild foods, like crackers（超薄餅干）.
★Encourage kids to look outside the car, rather than inside. They should focus on still objects---not moving ones---or a far point.
★Keep the window open a little to allow fresh air in.
★Use a headrest to reduce head movement.
★Make frequent stops, if your child complains of feeling sick and it’s safe to stop, a short walk for some fresh air might help.
76．What is the best title for the passage?（with in 10 words）
__________                      _    ______________________________________
77．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
These mixed signals which enter the brain can lead to a series of illnesses such as sickness, dizziness, paleness, and cold sweats.

78．Fill in the blanks in the first paragraph with proper words.（with in 10 words）

Louis Armstrong had two famous nicknames (綽號(hào)). Some people called him Bagamo. They said his mouth looked like a large bag, Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence (影響) on the world of music.
Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians. Jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth. Armstrong often said,“Jazz and I grew up together.”
Armstrong showed a great talent (天賦) for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短號(hào)) at a boy’s home. In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician. He played in parades, clubs, and on the steamboats that traveled on the Mississippi River. At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians. Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.
In 1922 he went to Chicago. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins. From then until the end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.
His cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁愛(ài)) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, “Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.”He was the father of the jazz style(風(fēng)格) and also one of the best-known and most admired people in the world. His death, on July 6,1971, was headline news around the world.

One cold morning in winter, when I was a little boy, a smiling man with an ax on his shoulder stopped me, saying: “My pretty boy, has your father a grindstone（砂輪）”
“Yes, sir,” said I．
“You are a fine little fellow!” said the man． “Will you let me grind（磨） my ax?”
Pleased with the flattery, I answered, “Oh, yes, sir． The grindstone is down in the shop．”
Patting me on my head, he said, “Will you get me some hot water?” I ran and brought the hot water．
“How old are you, and what is your name?” he asked without waiting for a reply, “I’m sure you are one of the finest boys I have ever seen． Will you turn the grindstone a few minutes for me?”
Hearing the flattery again, I went to work with a will． It was a new ax, and I worked hard until I was almost tired to death． The school bell rang, but I could not get away, because the ax was not half ground．
At last, however, it was sharpened． Then the man turned to me and said, “Now, you little rascal(小壞蛋), you’ve played truant(逃課)! Run to school, or you’ll be sorry!”
“Alas!” thought I． “It was hard enough to turn a grindstone this old day, but now to be called a rascal is too much．”
The memory of turning the grindstone that winter morning sank into my mind． I have thought of it since． Now, whenever I hear words of flattery, I say to myself． “That man has an ax to grind．”
