　阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分〕 A Long long ago, King Swan (天鹅国王) had a beautiful daughter. On her 15th birthday, she wished that when she was old enough, she could choose her own husband. King Swan agreed with her.

　 When the princess was old enough, King Swan called all the birds to his home. Birds came from everywhere, even from far away. King Swan told his lovely daughter to choose one she liked. She looked over the many birds. Finally, she chose a green long-necked peacock (孔雀). She told her father, “This bird, the peacock, will be my husband.” Hearing that the peacock was the lucky one, all the other birds crowded around to congratulate (祝贺) him. The excited peacock said nothing but held his head high. Later he began to shout and show his beauty in a strange dance. The other birds started to laugh. King Swan was angry. Standing in the middle of the birds, he said, “Sir Peacock, your voice is sweet, and you’re really very pretty. But you are not modest at all. I will not allow my daughter to marry you!” The princess also learned she was wrong. Then King Swan married his daughter to a modest bird. The peacock flew away, having lost a beautiful wife. (

　over sixteen but some are even younger. Most of them are running away from an unhappy home life but a few of them just want the bright lights

　of a big city and a chance to make some money.

　When their money runs out, some start begging or busking (街头卖艺) to earn money. They start living on the streets and sleeping in doorways or in squats (蹲踞). Many of them return home after a few months but the rest stay. Some say they prefer the freedom of the streets to life at home. (

Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger with his eyes still closed, begging(请求) for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students “early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.

　A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker (虚弱) than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.

　 Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class. (

　D. be weak in English (

　 ) 40.“Stay up late” here means “_________” A. study late   

　 B. watch TV late     C. not go to bed until late 

　 D. stay outside (

　 )41.According to the passage, which of the following is right? A. If you want to study better, you must work hard at night. B. Sleeping less means working hard. C. Some clever students are able to work well in class because they have good study habits. D. Students don’t have enough sleep because they have lots of homework to do. D Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers. Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers . How do newspaper editors decide which new stories to print? Why do they print these stories and not others? What makes a good news story ? Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories from those on TV . Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kinds of danger and seem to be bad " news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print stories about plane accidents. Another factor(因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but they prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers. (

　hundreds of years ago. B . There are hundreds of different newspapers in many countries. C . People don ' t want to read stories about everyday life. D . Many people don't like to read newspapers .
