Each passage is followed by four questions. For

15、 each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet./BBPassage One/BSuppose you have a brick and a sponge which are exactly the same size. The brick and the sponge will occupy the same amount of space,

16、but they will not weigh the same. If two things are exactly the same size, but differ in weight, then they have different densities. The one with the greater weight for the same size has the greater density. The one with lower weight for the same size has the lower density.Now apply this idea to Ufl

17、uids/U. You know that water and air expand when they are heated and therefore become less dense. If you poured a cupful of very hot water and let it cool, you would have a little less than a cupfull of cool water. If you weighed a cupful of very hot water and a cupful of cool water, the cupful of ve

18、ry hot water would weigh a little less.The cupful of cool water, being a little heavier than the cupful of hot water, would really have a little more water in it. Cold water is denser than hot water. Likewise, cold air is denser than hot. air. The greater weigh! of !he denser material makes it fall

19、to the bottom of the container. It pushes up the less dense material.（分数：12.00）(1).Two things are the same size but differently weight. That means_.（分数：3.00）A.the heavier one has lower densityB.the lighter one has greater densityC.they have the same densityD.they have different density(2).Another wo

20、rd for “fluids“ would be_.（分数：3.00）A.solidsB.gasesC.densitiesD.liquids(3).When water is heated, it_.（分数：3.00）A.expandsB.becomes cloudyC.will burnD.shrinks(4).What is the best title for this passage7（分数：3.00）A.How to Heat WaterB.Is It a Solid, Liquid or Gas.?C.Density and WeightD.Cooking with WaterBP

21、assage Two/BIf we had to rely on only five senses for survival, we would be in very sad shape indeed. We wouldnt know up from down. We wouldnt know when to eat or drink. We wouldnt know what our muscles were doing or what position our limbs were in. We wouldnt know when our body was damaged because

22、we wouldnt feel pain. We might freeze to death without even a shiver, or overheat without a drop of sweat. The five senses-touch, taste, smell, bearing and sight-respond only to stimulation from the outside world, but the inside world of our bodies must also receive and respond to important messages

23、.Our internal senses keep us alive and enable us to use our external senses. UIn effect/U, the internal senses tell our brains how to run our bodies. Hunger or thirst register in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus(丘脑下部) , when a lack of food chemicals are detected in the blood.Another inter

24、nal sense that controls our balance is maintained by three fluid-filled loops in the inner ear. Changes in position and gravity affect the motion of this liquid and cause changes in the brain. A sense called kinesthesia(肌肉运动知觉) lets us know the relative positions of parts of our bodies. Even our bre

25、athing is caused by a sense that identifies an overabundance of carbon dioxide and a lack of oxygen in the blood.No one has been able to count the number of internal senses. The presence of delicate internal senses shows just how marvelously complex we human beings are.（分数：12.00）(1).This passage dea

26、l mostly with the_.（分数：3.00）A.internal sensesB.sense of balanceC.five sensesD.brains function(2).Hunger is caused by _.（分数：3.00）A.too much food and water in the bodyB.a lack of oxygen in the bloodC.seeing or thinking about foodD.a lack of certain chemicals in the blood(3).The passage implies that th

27、ere are many senses we_.（分数：3.00）A.can use only in emergenciesB.may not understand at presentC.never realize we haveD.do not actively use in everyday living(4).In the second paragraph, the term “in effect“ means_.（分数：3.00）A.in factB.it is doubtfulC.oftenD.without reasonBPassage Three/BHe shouldnt ha

28、ve come back alive. Captain J. H. Hedley was British pilot in World War I. He fell victim to a bit of misfortune that would have been enough to kill anyone. Yet, with bad luck staring him in the face, good luck was coming up fast on his tail.Captain Hedley was flying a mission over Germany with his

29、copilot, A Canadian flyer named Makepeace. Suddenly they were surrounded by a group of German fighters. Makepeace, an experienced pilot, knew he had to take the plane into a vertical dive in order to slip away from Germans. UInexplicably/U, Hedley was caught unaware by his copilots maneuver. He was

30、thrown sharply out of his seat and out of the plane. Makepeace sadly counted Hedley a dead man and continued his evasive maneuvers.Suddenly, Makepeace spotted Hedley clinging to the tail of the plane, Hedley hung on and pulled himself back into the plane when it leveled off. Makepeace was stunned by

31、 the sight of Hedley, but he kept his composure enough to get them out of the trouble and out of Germany. The best explanation for Hedleys reprieve(缓刑) was that the planes sudden vertical dive had created a vacuum in the air be- hind it. Hedley fell into the vacuum and was pulled along until he grab

32、bed the tail and made his fantastic reentry.（分数：12.00）(1).In World War I, British and Canada were_.（分数：3.00）A.afraid of each otherB.in competitionC.fighting togetherD.fighting each other(2).We can conclude that Hedleys escape from death was mostly due to _.（分数：3.00）A.faithB.luckC.scienceD.flying abi

33、lity(3).The writer begins the passage by _.（分数：3.00）A.making interesting statementsB.telling a jokeC.asking some questionsD.quoting a war ex-soldier(4).Something inexplicable is _.（分数：3.00）A.ridiculousB.memorableC.unforgivableD.unexplainableBPassage Four/BIn the Arizona desert, tomatoes hang from ce

34、ilings, spinach grows without soil and shrimp lire in indoor pools. Whats going on.? Food research!People perform these experiments to learn how to produce more food. There will be over 6.5 bil- lion people on earth after two decades. We will have to produce four times as much food as we do now to f

35、eed all these people. But each year there is less fresh water, the soil loses nutrients and buildings take up more land. We must learn to use resources we have always thought unusable. So, the Environ- mental Research Laboratory in Arizona tries to grow food without soil, in the desert, and with sal

36、t water.So far the results have been excellent. The new methods yield twenty times more tomatoes and cu-cumbers than can be grown on a farm. About sixty times as many shrimp can be raised in indoors pools than ten boats can catch in the ocean in a year. Crops can grow in salty soil. Plus, as they gr

37、ow, they take salt and minerals from desert soil, to create more useable land.The University of Arizona runs the research center in Arizona. But there are centers all over the world. Because of the promising results, big companies pay for some of the research. With interest and money backing them, r

38、esearchers can go far. Their aim is to use wasted land and water to feed humanity.

41、llowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunately, most educators are becoming aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities. However, the discipline resulting from grades still exists. Grades often cut down creativity. Competing for better grades causes many studen

42、ts to turn down opportunities to pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades impose a subjective standard of success on everyone. 1 do not demand as some extremists do, that grades be ended immediately. However, ! do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades. I hope that someday grades wi

43、ll become optional at Village High School.Magdalena Smith, PresidentDrama ClubLets face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grades motivate students to work at their highest level of competence. Second, they act as a reward for hardworking students and as a scolding

44、to students who do not work hard. Finally, grades are used as an effective standard by which to measure student achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get in-to university, Ive spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired primarily on t
