第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每小題2分，滿分40分）

As China’s women’s gymnastics team enjoyed the glory of winning the country’s first team Olympic gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games，the young gymnasts took the opportunity to remind the world that they are old enough to compete．

Weeks before the Beijing Games, some international media raised questions about the ages of some of the members of China’s gymnastics team, particularly He Kexin and Jiang Yuyuan. They said the girls might be younger than 16, the minimum age for the Olympics. But the Chinese Gymnastics Association quickly provided copies of the gymnasts’ ID cards and passports, proving they are indeed old enough to compete.

In the final, He Kexin gave a clean performance on her favorite uneven bars（高低杠）, earning the second highest score after falling from the bars during qualification. “Although I fell down in the qualification, I became more confident today to make up for my mistake and I finally made it.”She said. It was a great moment for head coach Lu Shanzhen. “Our team made history today and proved to the world that we are the best.” the coach said, “The gold medal is not only for the gymnastics team，but also for the whole Chinese delegation at the Beijing Games.”

The coach owed the team’s success to a series of reforms. The Chinese team used to train a 1ot, but competed less, which led to poor results in international competitions. To improve their ability to compete and to strengthen their psychological power, the Chinese team sent more team members to compete abroad, so they could bring a competitive spirit back to the team. All six gymnasts in the Olympic team final were selected from fierce competition, and they proved themselves today. _O%M

閱讀理解

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中選出最佳選項。

　　It is five o'clock. What was the time 7 hours ago? The situation corresponds to (符合) the subtraction (減去) problem 5－7＝? In clock 12.

　　One way to answer the problem is to count the hours on an ordinary clock, but this time, count counterclockwise (逆時針). If the time is five o'clock now, then seven hours ago it was 10 o'clock. Thus, 5－7＝10 in clock 12. How can you check result?

　　In ordinary subtraction, you can check your answer by setting up the related addition (加法) problem. For example, to check 20－13＝7, ask “Is seven the number that must be added to 13 to produce 20”?

　　20－13＝7 can be changed into20＝7＋13.

　　To check 5－20＝－15, ask“Is 5＝20－15 true?” This method may be used to check a subtraction problem in clock 12．If 5－7＝10 is true.

　　Then 5＝7＋10 has to be true. Indeed, 5 is equal to 7＋10 in clack 12．Thus, 5－7＝10 in clock. So we can know.

　　In clock arithmetic, as well as in ordinary arithmetic.

　　a－b＝c means a＝b＋c
