VII. 閱讀理解：讀A、B兩篇短文，根據短文內容選擇最佳答案；讀C篇短文，將其選項中的五個句子還原到短文當中。 共15小題，計30分。
A
Bargaining
is the rule here in
DO NOT say how much you want to pay for an item(物品) unless it’s near the end of the bargaining. Always try and drop the seller's offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price.
DO throw out really low prices like 10 RMB with a big smile.
DO keep smiling from the beginning to the end. The seller usually continues bargaining with a happy smiling face. Getting angry hardly gets you the price you want.
KEEP in mind the price offered by the seller at the beginning is usually at least 40% over the generally reasonable price. It can be up to 500% over.
DO have an idea of what the item costs. You can ask your friends, people in the hotel or others you know, or look at the list below. This is very general and is based(根據) on a market like Xiu Shui. You may not be able to get the lowest prices at Xiu Shui, especially on a weekend when there are lots of tourists around.

B
Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes(基因)decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall you're going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.
But genes don't decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潛力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.
No doubt(懷疑) you're wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There's no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up).
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you're at now, how you've been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.
Don't be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt（高峰）during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later ------between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.
You'll usually begin to notice that you're growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.
61. The Chinese for the word “puberty” is __________.
A. 童年時期 B.嬰幼兒時期 C.習慣養成期 D. 生長發育期
62. If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, ____________.
A. you should have enough exercise B. you can ask doctors for help
C. you should save the environment D. You can record your growth during puberty
63. This passage is mainly about ____________.
A. how the genes work in your body B. when is the time you grow fast
C. why you look like your parents D. how you grow to a certain height
64. After reading this passage, we can explain ___________.
A. how good it is to be a doctor B. how much sleep time we need
C. why genes can’t decide everything D. what healthy diet is
65. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Your height most probably depends on how high your parents are.
B. Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys’.
C. The time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed.
D. You may be scared sometimes when you grow too fast.
C
A. running away is anything B. they often find them in risky situations
C. it may be natural D. these kids are more easily to get affected(感染)
E. no one cares about them F. you probably imagine
When you think about running away, (66) __________ that there will be no more rules, no parent to tell you what to do, no more fights. Sounds great and exciting, right? In fact, (67) __________ but fun. Kids who run away face new problems like not having any money, food to eat, a safe place to sleep, or anyone to take care of them.
People with no home and no money become ready to do anything just to meet their everyday needs. Because of this, (68) __________ that would be terrible even for adults. Runaway kids join in dangerous crimes(犯罪) much more often than kids who live at home.
Kids who live on the streets often have to steal(偷) for a living. Many take drugs to get through the day because they become so sad and feel that (69) __________. Some are forced(被迫) to do things they wouldn't normally do to make money. The number of kids with HIV or AIDS and other diseases is higher on streets, too, because (70) __________. This problem is attracting more and more attention.
