三、阅读理解（20 分）

A

Every student can learn rope(绳子) jumping. You can jump alone or with your classmates. You can also help turn a long rope for many others to jump over, one at a time.

If you jump alone, you will need a short rope and it will be just enough for your height(高度). Try ropes of different lengths(长度) until you find a right one for your size. A rope should be turned slowly. It must also be turned high enough to let you jump freely and safely. Turning the rope freely and safely needs careful timing. In rope jumping, timing means turning the rope slowly enough for you to jump over at the right time without its striking(碰) your feet.

When you jump rope, your heart beats faster and your face has a healthy colour. But if you jump too many times at first, you will get tired. You must learn when to stop for a rest before you jump again. If you practise, you can increase(增加) the number of times you jump without resting. ( )31. This passage is about_________

A. a game B. a rope C. rope jumpers D. careful timing ( )32. How many people can join in rope jumping? A. one alone B. two C. one or more D. two or more

B

Students learn their lessons in class. In class teachers teach them. Students sit in the classroom listening to the teacher. This is a way of learning. Is this the only way for students to learn something? Of course not. There is another way to learn. That is students can teach themselves. For example, if you cannot remember something when you are doing your homework, you can look at your book to find the answer. This is a way to teach yourself. And it is not a difficult thing. We can do this at any place and at any time.

How do you teach yourself? The first thing you must do is reading. Read something you are interested in, or you have to read. The second is that you must ask yourself questions. The question is something you don’t understand, or you want to know more about. You can write down these questions. A clever student is usually good at asking questions. The third is to answer the questions yourself by thinking hard, by reading the text or other books, and sometimes by asking other people. This is the way of teaching yourself. And you must do this all by yourself. If you keep doing like this for a long time, you are sure to succeed (成功) in your study. （ ）36. Listening to the teacher is _____ for students to learn something. A. not a way B. the best way C. the only way D. not the only way （ ）37. Which of the following is RIGHT? A.
