When I was a kid, I always used to wonder how in the world my father worked outside in the winter without a coat. It could be minus 20 degrees centigrade and there’d be Dad, removing snow, or perhaps chopping(砍) some wood --- his coat thrown aside--- wearing a shirt, a cap, and a pair of gloves. “Aren’t you cold, Dad?” I’d ask. “No,” Dad would reply. “I’m not cold--- working too hard to be cold.” Many times I wondered whether my father was an extremely tough man, or whether he was foolish. One time when I was quite young, perhaps five or so, I went ice fishing with Dad. It was a bright, clear day—and bitterly cold. After we’d been out on the ice for a little while, my feet started getting cold. “Daddy, my feet are cold.” I said. “Yeah, it’s cold out here today,” he replied. “Tell you what,” he said. “Walk around. Make some circles in the snow. See how many different patterns you can make. That will get your feet warm.” I was just a little girl at the time but I remember thinking, “How in the world will walking around in the snow make my feet warm? Dad must be out of mind.” But he was my father, after all. I made circles in the snow. I made squares. Pretty soon I was having so much fun making patterns in the snow. I forgot about my feet being cold. Now, all these years later, I know, too, from personal experience how my father was able to take his coat off and work outside in the winter wearing just a shirt, a cap and gloves. Because I do it, too. “Aren’t you cold?” my husband asked one winter day. “No,” I replied. “I’m not cold—working too hard to be cold.” I hope my husband has decided I’m both tough and smart. But I guess quite a bit of the time he thinks I’m foolish. Wherever Dad is on that great big farm in the sky—I’m sure he can’t help but smile whenever I take my coat off while I’m working outside in the winter. 21. When the author’s feet felt cold, her father advised her to ______ . A. go home alone first B. keep walking in the snow C. draw pictures in the snow D. light a fire on the ice 22. Hearing her father’s advice, the author thought her father _______. A. forgettable B. warm-hearted C. crazy D. cruel 23. What might the author’s husband think of her? A. Tough B. Smart C. Brave D. Foolish 24. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to ______ .

A newly discovered ancient Chinese map may prove that it was a Chinese navigator who first discovered America. He may have made the discovery seventy years before Columbus discovered the New World. The map, which has gone on display in Beijing, is said to be a copy made in 1763 of a much older map dating back to 1418. It clearly describes Africa, Europe and the Americas. If it's proven to be believable, the map would provide strong evidence to suggest that the famous Ming Dynasty sailor, Zheng He, beat Christopher Columbus, who arrived in America in 1492, to the discovery of the New World. Liu Gang, a Chinese lawyer and map collector, bought the map in an antique store in Shanghai in 2001 for about 500 U.S. dollars. Liu Gang thinks the map supports the thesis of British author, Gavin Menzies, who in his 2003 book argued Zheng He was the first person to circumnavigate（环航）the globe and discover America sometime between 1421 and 1423. “In principle, the British author Gavin is right. Before Columbus, Zheng He discovered America and the whole world. But in detail, not exactly... three years difference. I don’t think that’s a big deal. ” Liu said. Zheng He commanded a group of ships, which sailed between 1405 and 1433 at the order of the emperor during China’s Ming Dynasty. His aim was to spread the glory of China to the world and establish trade. 25. We learn from Paragraph 1 that ______ . A. the writer was proud of an ancient map B. both the Chinese navigator and Columbus were heroes C. the ancient map made by a Chinese navigator was just found D. the Chinese navigator may be the first man who discovered America 26. Which of the following correctly describes the ancient map? A. The ancient map on display in Beijing is said to be made in 1418. B. The ancient map, which is said to be made in 1763, is on display in Beijing. C. The ancient map was bought by Liu Gang, a Chinese navigator in 2001. D. The ancient map was introduced to be listed in Gavin’ book by Liu Gang to support his idea. 27. What does the British author in his book try to argue in the passage? A. The first person who discovered America may be Zheng He. B. The first person to circumnavigate the globe is not worth discussing. C. The year when Zheng He discovered America may be between 1421 and 1423. D. The year when Christopher Columbus discovered America was ahead of 1423. 28. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Ancient Map and Liu Gang. B. Zheng He, Liu Gang and British Author. C. Zheng He Spreads the Glory of China to the World. D. Ancient Map Suggests Chinese Discovered America. |

You know that balloons must be kept away from sharp objects. They also needed to be kept away from flames. A fire can weaken the rubber and cause it to break. However, in this experiment you will find out how you can hold a balloon directly in a flame without breaking the balloon. Materials needed: ● two round balloons not inflated(充气的) ● several matches ● water Inflate one of the balloons and tie it. Place 1/4 cup of water in the other balloon, and then inflate it and tie it. Light a match and hold it under the first balloon. Allow the flame to touch the balloon. What happens? The balloon breaks, perhaps even before the flame touches it. Light another match. Hold it directly under the water in the second balloon. Allow the flame to touch the balloon. What happens to this balloon? It doesn’t break. Why does the balloon with no water break in the flame? The flame heats the rubber of both balloons. The rubber of the balloon without water becomes so hot that it becomes too weak to resist the pressure of the air inside the balloon. However, when the balloon with water in it is placed in the flame, the water takes in most of the heat from the flame. Then, the rubber of the balloon doesn’t become very hot, it doesn’t weaken, and the balloon doesn’t break. Water is a particularly good absorber(吸收者) of heat. It takes a lot of heat to change the temperature of water. On the other hand, when water cools, it gives off a great deal of heat. That’s why areas near oceans or other large bodies of water don’t get as cold in winter as areas at the same latitude(纬度) further inland. 32. From the passage we can know the following aspects of the experiment except______. A. method B. material C. result D. time 33. What does the underlined word “resist” in Para 4 probably mean? A. add B. expand C. bear D. form 34. When the flame reaches the balloon with water inside, ______ A. the rubber of it doesn’t become hot at all B. the water in it begins to boil C. the balloon breaks D. the heat is mostly taken in by the water 35. The purpose of the experiment described in the passage is to prove that______. A. water is a particularly good absorber of heat B. some balloons can be easily broken, while others can’t. C. balloons without water are not as strong as those with water inside. D. the temperature is not up to the latitude. |

What do you, the trees，and a bird have in common? 36 . All living things must have water to survive，whether they get it from a water fountain，a rain cloud，or a little bottle attached to the side of a bird cage. 37 . Water makes up more than half of your body weight and a person can't survive for more than a few days without it. Why? Your body has lots of important jobs and it needs water to do many of them. For instance, your blood, which contains a lot of water, carries oxygen to all the cells of your body. Without oxygen, those tiny cells would die and your body would stop working. Water is also in lymph, a fluid (流体) that is part of your immune system (免疫系统), which helps you fight off illness. 38 . Water is needed for digestive juices, urine, and poop. And you can bet that water makes up most of sweat. In addition to being an important part of the fluids in your body, each cell depends on water to function normally. 39 . Any fluid you drink will contain water, but water and milk are the best choices. Lots of foods contain water, too. 40 . You could probably tell that if you've ever bitten into a peach or pear and felt the juices dripping down your chin ! Vegetables, too, contain a lot of water—think of biting into a fat tomato from the garden. A. You need water to digest your food and get rid of waste，too. B. You all need water. C. Without water，your body would stop working properly. D. How much is enough? E. Your body doesn't get water only from drinking water. F. When you drink is also important. G. Fruit contains quite a bit of water. |

In the distant past, friends relied on each other for their 61 (survive). They hunted together and defended each other against dangerous animals and enemies. In those days, if you didn’t have a friend, you would either starve, be eaten 62 killed. Nowadays, friendship isn’t exactly 63 matter of life and death. However, friendship is still of great importance and not having a friend is something to be 64 (concern) about. Most people look upon a friend as someone they can depended on when they are going 65 times of trouble. In such times, friends provide them with emotional support and sometimes financial help. It is in these trouble times 66 they find out who their true friends are. As an old saying 67 (go), “In times of prosperity, friends will be plenty; in times of 68 (suffer), not one in twenty.” And there is another saying that says you can hardly make a friend in a year, but you can easily upset one in an hour. So do your best 69 (get) along with and be grateful to all those who 70 (be) willing to side with you even when you are in the wrong as they are true friends and they do not easily come by. |
