The reporter turned to the third man. "Do you think so？"
"No，I don't." he said. "I don't think that makes the visitor important.That makes the President important."
"Then what would make the visitor important？" the reporter and the other two men asked.

It's a great place for families，both in summer and winter.Visitors go to Hot Water Beach to find hot water bubbling （冒泡） through the golden sand.Families，young children and couples can be seen digging their own pool in the sand.And then they lie back in the water and relax while the steam from their hot pool envelops them.With the flow of the tide，the hot pools they created are washed away.Then the next group of visitors will arrive to dig their hot pools.

17．（10分）Last year， I did not like my English class． （1）每节课就像是一场噩梦．The teacher spoke so quickly that I didn't understand her most of the time． But （2）I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad． So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything．
Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story． I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well． Although I could not understand everything the characters said， their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning． I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words． （3）My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies． I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning． （4）I also learned useful sentences like "It's a piece of cake" or "It serves you right．" I did not understand these sentences at first． But because I wanted to understand the story， I looked up the words in a dictionary．
（5）现在我很享受我的英语课．I want to learn new words and more grammar． Then I can have a better understanding of English movies．

第二节 回答问题 阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。
18．（10分）The color of a room often affects （影响） our brains，bodies，how we learn and how we behave（表现）.
Blue is a good choice for a science or math classroom.It is soothing （镇静的），and computer screens are often light blue.Light pink and rose are very good for a BD （Behavior Disorder） classroom，or a kindergarten （幼儿园） room where activity is high.Green is good for an art room or a creative writing classroom.Orange，yellow and red are often called Hot Dog colors.Bright yellow makes the brain and body excited，so this may be a great color for an exercise room but not for a bedroom or a study hall.Painting a bedroom orange would probably keep the child awake longer at night.Putting two brothers or sisters into an orange bedroom would probably make them fight as well.So orange would probably be the worst color to paint a school dining hall.Red often makes people feel hungry.That's why KFC，McDonald's，Pizza Hut，Burger King stores have this color on their roofs，buildings and signs.If a classroom is painted red，students may feel hungry and keep thinking of food in class.

（1）What are our brains and bodies often affected by according to the passage？
　 　
（2）What color is good for a kindergarten room？
　 　
（3）What colors are often called Hot Dog colors？
　 　
（4）What color is probably the last choice for a school dining hall？
　 　
（5）Why does KFC often paint its roof red？

Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story． I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well． Although I could not understand everything the characters said， their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning． I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words． （3）My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies． I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning． （4）I also learned useful sentences like "It's a piece of cake" or "It serves you right．" I did not understand these sentences at first． But because I wanted to understand the story， I looked up the words in a dictionary．
（5）现在我很享受我的英语课．I want to learn new words and more grammar． Then I can have a better understanding of English movies．

（2）我很害怕回答问题，因为我的发音不好。英译汉，be afraid to"害怕做某事"； ask questions"问问题"； because"因为"； my pronunciation"我的发音"； very bad"非常差"，故填：我很害怕回答问题，因为我的发音不好。

第二节 回答问题 阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。
18．（10分）The color of a room often affects （影响） our brains，bodies，how we learn and how we behave（表现）.
Blue is a good choice for a science or math classroom.It is soothing （镇静的），and computer screens are often light blue.Light pink and rose are very good for a BD （Behavior Disorder） classroom，or a kindergarten （幼儿园） room where activity is high.Green is good for an art room or a creative writing classroom.Orange，yellow and red are often called Hot Dog colors.Bright yellow makes the brain and body excited，so this may be a great color for an exercise room but not for a bedroom or a study hall.Painting a bedroom orange would probably keep the child awake longer at night.Putting two brothers or sisters into an orange bedroom would probably make them fight as well.So orange would probably be the worst color to paint a school dining hall.Red often makes people feel hungry.That's why KFC，McDonald's，Pizza Hut，Burger King stores have this color on their roofs，buildings and signs.If a classroom is painted red，students may feel hungry and keep thinking of food in class.

（1）What are our brains and bodies often affected by according to the passage？
　The color of a room.　
（2）What color is good for a kindergarten room？
　Light pink and rose.　
（3）What colors are often called Hot Dog colors？
　Orange，yellow and red.　
（4）What color is probably the last choice for a school dining hall？
　Red.　
（5）Why does KFC often paint its roof red？
　Because red often makes people hungry.

【解答】（1）The color of a room.细节理解题。根据The color of a room often affects our brains，bodies，how we learn and how we behave.房间的颜色常常影响我们的大脑、身体、学习和行为。可知，根据文章，我们的大脑和身体经常受到房间的颜色的影响。故填The color of a room.
（2）Light pink and rose.细节理解题。根据Light pink and rose are very good for a BD （Behavior Disorder） classroom，or a kindergarten （幼儿园） room where activity is high.浅粉色和玫瑰色非常适合BD（行为障碍）教室或活动频繁的幼儿园房间。可知，浅粉色和玫瑰色适合幼儿园的房间。故填Light pink and rose.
