We each have a memory（记忆力）. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things in a short time, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories. A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the students have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.

It is not easy for people to sail (航海) around the world in quite small boats. Sometimes the weather gets bad. Accidents(事故) can happen easily and quickly.

One family once had an accident. A big fish swam under their boat and bit holes(洞) in it. Sea water came in and the boat soon went down. Luckily these people had another small boat——a lifeboat, so they all got into the lifeboat. They lived in the boat for many days. They ate and slept, and always hoped. At last people in a ship saved them.

How do people live in a very small lifeboat for a long time? They must be strong in every way. They must have a hope, and they must have a strong desire（愿望）to live. People cannot drink seawater. If they drink a lot of sea water, they will quickly die. They must catch rainwater and drink it. They must also catch fish and birds for food. Lifeboats do not often carry cookers. So people cannot cook their food in the lifeboats. Raw (生的) fish and birds are not very nice but they are their only food. They must eat raw food, or they will die.

( )38. When the boat sank (下沉), the lifeboat gave the people _______. A. food B. beds C. rainwater D. hope ( )39. People can catch _______ for food and drink at sea in a lifeboat.

A. fish and birds B. rainwater C. both sea water and rainwater D. both A and B

( )40. Lifeboats do not often carry cookers. The word \here means

______.

A. 厨师 B. 食物 C. 炊具 D. 大盒子

( )41. From the article (文章) we can know that ______. A. It’s not interesting to sail around the world B. Fish in the sea are so dangerous

C. we must have a strong desire（愿望）to live when we are in danger D. Nobody knows when we will die

Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.

Put the chairs in a line. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.

The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.

The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.

At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.

42. If ten people are playing musical chairs, you must begin with _______. A. nine chairs B. ten chairs C. eleven chairs D. one chair 43. The chairs should be put _______.

A. with the desks B. before the winner C. all over the room D. in a line 44. When the music starts, the players must _______.

A. run about the room B. get down C. walk around the chairs D. sit on the chairs

45. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The game “Musical Chairs” is not difficult to learn. B. The last one can sit on the last chair.

C. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner. D. If the person plays music, he cannot be the winner 四、词汇（每小题1分，共10分）
