Ⅲ、阅读理解。（共20小题，计30分）
阅读下面短文，从每小题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
A
We see with our eyes and taste with our tongues（舌头）．Ears are for hearing，skin is for feeling and noses are for smelling．Would anyone say that ears can smell，or that tongues can see? Actually, yes．Paul Bach-V-Rita, a scientist at the University of Wisconsin，believes that the senses can be changeable．For example，a tongue can be used for seeing．The brain（大脑）,as
we know，is a complex organ（复杂的器官）．Even when part of it is hurt．it will try to carry out the same function by sending the function to another area of the brain。
A college student was asked to take part in an experiment．In the experiment, his eyes were covered with a small video camera．The camera was connected to a long plastic line which went into his mouth．A computer would change the video's picture．The picture would travel through the plastic line as an electric current（电流），reaching the electrodes（电极板）inside the student's
mouth．The scientist would roll a ball towards his right side，left side，or centre, and the student would have to catch it．When the scientist rolled the ball，pain passed over the student's tongue．From the position（位置）of the pain on the tongue，the student reached out his hand and caught the ball．
If the brain can see a ball through a camera and a wet tongue，blindness and deafness can be overcome（克服）．
41．How many senses are talked about in the first paragraph?
A．4 B．
42．What was done with the student's eyes in the experiment? His eyes were ．
A．badly hurt B．hit blind by others

A．change the video's picture B．surf the Internet
C．send e-mails D．collect data
44．What is the right order according to（根据）the experiment?

“Depend on yourself'’ is what nature says to every man．Parents can help you．Teachers can help you, Others still can help you．But all these only help you to help yourself．
There have been many great men in history．But many of them were very poor in childhood，and had no uncles，aunts or friends to help them． They couldn't depend on them for an education．They saw how it was, and began to work with their own efforts to know something．They worked their own way up to fame．
One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils．“I can't make worthy（值得尊敬的）men of you，but I can help you make men of yourselves．”
Some young m．en have the best of everythin9，but they are to be pitied．They can never do things successfully if they don't see their weak point and change their course．They are nobody now．and will be nobody as long as（只要）they don't follow the advice of their parents and teachers，and depend on their own efforts．
51．“Depend on yourself'’ in this passage means ．
A．rely on your own efforts B． rely on nature

52．Many of the great men in history succeeded because ．
A．they were very poor in childhood

Have you ever thought of such questions as ‘‘Why do I have to study math?” or “I am not interested in history at all．My dream is to be an engineer．Should I give history up?”
Maybe you are right．After you leave school，it's not necessary for you to understand everything．But please remember that at school，besides getting knowledge，you should pay attention to some other important things．
First，try to find what you are most interested in．At school，you study many subjects．Try to find what you like and what you don't like。This may be helpful to you in the future．
Second，maybe you don't like math and you want to drop it．But the logical thinking ability（逻辑思维能力）from math can help you solve some problems, At school，you should practice your brain by thinking．
Third，you should believe in yourself．Maybe you learn French at school，but you don't need to speak French at all．But learning French can prove（证明）that you have the ability of learning languages。Suppose you go to Germany one day and find a job there．Then you call tell yourself, “I can do my job well．At school I learned French well．and now I must be able to learn German．”But if you have no confidence，what will happen?
Try to challenge yourself as often as possible。I think many of us like playing computer games．When we fail in a game，we always want to try it again，why? Because it is hard for ns to get the highest mark．If we want to challenge ourselves，we must face more difficult things and make greater progress．
56．At school you should ．
A．stop learning the Subjects you don't like
B．both get knowledge and improve your ability
C．pay more attention to math
D．1earn French instead of English
57．Math can improve one's ．

C．interest in other Subjects D．ability of finding a job

A．You will use everything you learn at school in your future job．
B．It's not necessary to know what you like at school．
C．Everything you learn at school has an influence on you．
D．Logical thinking ability is the most important ability．
59．Learning French can help us ．
A．have confidence in learning languages B．go to Germany
C．get a good result in the exam D．in nothing
60 ．The last paragraph tells as that ．
A．everyone loves to play computer games
B．it is not easy to get high marks in computer games
C．we should do some very difficult things
D．we should challenge ourselves
