三、阅读理解
（A）
Let me tell you about a young boy who made a model car all on his own. The boy is me, six
years ago when I was just 1l. The car was small and simple, but in my imagination it was a
high-speed racing car, speeding along the race road.
It was during the school summer holidays and workmen were building a new driveway and
garage(车库) beside our house. It meant to add something new to our home. When I watched the
workman, I came up with an idea---I would build a car to drive into the garage in celebration of it.
I told my mother and began with my plans. But I couldn't find the right thing for making the car,
so I gave up and sadly spent several days doing nothing. My mother noticed that I had stopped
working and asked me why. I explained and she suggested that maybe I should change my plan to
fit the things I had, rather than give up.
And that's just what I did. I found small pieces of wood in my father's workshop and made my
car from anything that was lying around the house. When I found a small engine(发动机) from
one of my old model planes, I added that. The power came from a battery I found in a box.
By the time the garage was finished, so was my car. I called my family together outside the
house, started the engine and put the car on the driveway. It was fast, and I had to run to the garage
to prevent it from hitting the new door. My family began to cheer and I smiled proudly. Thanks to
my mother I learned the value of continuing to do things, especially something difficult. Soon I
was making plans for my next project: a robot!
（1）The writer was_____________when he made the model car.
A. a student B. a driver C. a workman D. an engineer

（B）
It is a question that has confused parents for many years: why do children refuse to eat greens
Now, two American experts believe they have the answer.
After studying dozens of babies as they played with various objects, the researchers noted that
they were far more unwilling to touch plants than other things. They believe this is because
evolution(生物进化) has biologically made children be wary of plants.
Due to susceptibility (敏感性) to illness or injury in the early years of life, the body has
designed an inner defence mechanism(内部保护机制) that limits a child’s contact with plants they
think. The researchers believe this is why children turn their noses up when faced with a plate of
broad beans.
The findings are published in a paper by Dr. Annie E Wertz and Dr. Karen Wynn, both
psychologists at Yale University.
They wrote, “Throughout human evolution, plants have been important in human’s livery real
dangers.”
“Plants produce toxins(毒素) as defence that can be harmful, or even deadly. Some plants also
produce physical defence, such as thorns (荆棘) can damage tissues(组织) and cause effects over
the whole body.”
They added, “We predicted that babies may have behavioral strategies that reduce dangers
caused by plants.”
To test their theory, the researchers studied how children aged eight to 18 months old reacted
when presented with a variety of objects. It took much longer for children to grab plants; objects
that were pretended to look like plants also caused a slow response time.
For parents attempting to spoon some peas into the mouth of their child, this finding should
come as welcome relief.

Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of
St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while.
In 1917 he joined the army and was sent to Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda
Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary:“My own happiness in
the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had
to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”
This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success,
Fitzgerald began to spend more time on his writing. Then he continued with the novel the
Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play

The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest successful novel, The Great Gatsby, published in 1925,
which quickly brought him praise from the literary(文学) world. Yet it failed to give him the
needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the
Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald’ s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s

to a Swiss hospital. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934. While his
