If I ask you to shut your eyes and gave you a piece of apple to eat, would you be able to tell me what it is just by tasting it? Of course, you could. Your tongue is covered with tiny “taste buds” which help you know what different foods taste like. Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose? This experiment shows how important your nose is when you taste things.
What You Need:
? a friend to help
? small pieces of any food like carrot, orange, banana
? small pieces of apple, raw(生的) potato, and onion
What You Do:
There are actually three different experiments. You and your friend should take turns to try them on each other.
Experiment 1:
Have your friend close her eyes and open her mouth.
Give her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it.
Then, ask her what she thinks it is. She will probably guess correctly.
Experiment 2:
While your friend has her eyes closed, give her a piece of the raw potato. At the same time, hold a piece of apple right under her nose. Ask her to eat the potato (but don’t call it by name) and tell you what she thinks it is. She will say it is a piece of apple!
Experiment 3: (for the brave)
Take a piece of raw onion. You don’t have to close your eyes this time. Squeeze your nose closed with your other hand so that no smells can get into your nose. Now take a nibble of the onion. Surprise! As long as you hold your nose, you will not be able to taste the onion.
The Science Secret
You already know the science secret. Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does. Your tongue, however, can taste only certain flavors like salty, bitter, sour, and sweet. All of the other “tastes” are actually “smells,” and you need your nose to “taste” them. Oh, and you might use this science secret the next time you are told to eat something you don’t like the taste of. If you hold your nose while you eat it, you won’t “taste” it at all.
小题1: According to this article, what could a reader know about food?
A.People hold their noses to eat onions.B.If you can smell potatoes, you will taste apples.
C.People need a sense of smell to taste some food.D.If you close your eyes, food will taste better.
小题2:What is the most likely reason Experiment 3 is called “for the brave”?
A.You keep your eyes open.B.You have to eat a raw onion.
C.You have to squeeze your nose.D.You do the experiment alone.
小题3:What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Your Eyes KnowsB.Your Nose Knows
C.Your Mouth KnowsD.Your Tongue Knows

小题1:C
小题2:B
小题3:B

试题分析:本文通过三个实验说明鼻子的重要性,只有鼻子与舌头一块工作才能尝出味道。
小题1:C 细节理解题。根据第一段Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose? This experiment shows how important your nose is when you taste things.你知道如果没有鼻子食物尝起来还会不同吗,这个试验证明当你尝东西时鼻子的是重要的。所以选C项。
小题2:B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段提到Squeeze your nose closed with your other hand so that no smells can get into your nose捂住你的鼻子,为的不让气味进入你的鼻子,Now take a nibble of the onion. Surprise! As long as you hold your nose, you will not be able to taste the onion.现在尝尝洋葱,令人吃惊的是,只要捂住你的鼻子,你就尝不出洋葱的味道,可见这个试验是需要勇气来吃洋葱的,所以选B项。
小题3:B 主旨大意。本文通过三个实验来证明Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does.你的鼻子和舌头一块作用才能吃出食物的味道。再根据第一段This experiment shows how important your nose is when you taste things.,说明鼻子的重要性,所以选B项。

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
This is an old English saying. Do you know it before? It says that we must go to bed early and get up early in the morning. Then we should be healthy. We should also be rich (wealthy) and clever (wise).
This is true. The body must have enough sleep to be healthy. Children of a young age should have ten hours’ sleep every night. Children who don’t have enough sleep can’t do their work very well. They will not be wise and they may not become wealthy!
The body also needs exercise. Walking, running, jumping, swimming and playing games are all exercise. Exercise keeps the body strong.
Exercise also keeps the blood(血液)moving around inside the body. This is very important. Our blood takes food to all parts of our body. The head also needs blood. Exercise helps us to think better!

In the world, soccer (or football) is the most popular sport. This is because many countries have wonderful teams for the World Cup. The World Cup is held every four years.
To remember the 2002 FIFA World Cup, children from different countries and more than 60 children from different Japanese schools came together and spent three weeks drawing a big picture called“Dream (梦幻) World Cup”in Japan. The children drew animals, flowers and people playing soccer under bright blue sky. They wished each football team good luck by drawing the flags (旗帜) of all countries that would take part in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. The picture was put up in a park near a playground in Yokohama.
Are you a football fan? The World Cup makes more and more people interested in football. Teenagers like playing and watching football. Many of them love some football stars so much that they get pictures of their favorite players such as, Figo, Oven and Pauleta. And they put the pictures up on the walls of their rooms.

"Depend on yourself" is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.
There have been many great men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhood, and had no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. They couldn't depend on them for education. They saw how it was, and began to work with their efforts.
One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, "I can't make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves."
Some young men are not the best in anything, and they are to be pitied(值得同情的). They can never do things successfully if they don't see their weak points and change their courses(做法). They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live if they don't follow the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.

Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.
  If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart.When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.
  Communication begins with the concerns (关心) of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and take no notice to anyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.
  If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance (表达)of information, correspondence (通信), means of communication: a letter or a message”. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.
  When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, and ask them politely to listen to you. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse.
  Here is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let it go. Communication is the key here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
  Communication isn’t a one-way matter: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel-------listening is the key to communication.
小题1:In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is __________ than with children.
A.more difficultB.much easier
C.less interestingD.more interesting
小题2:The underlined phrase “ drift apart” in Paragraph 2 means __________.
A.keep up with othersB.move along smoothly
C.distance yourself form othersD.come closer to each other
小题3:The example in Paragraph 6 shows that ___________.
A.Sophie is very polite to her parents  
B.Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her
C.Sophie did well in explaining her being late
D.communication is the solutionto misunderstanding
小题4:All the following statements are correct except “_______”.
A.Communication is a two-way matter  
B.It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing
C.If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them know
D.When dealing with parents, you only need to listen to them


China's first moon rover (月球车), Yutu, set off from the lander early on December 15, several hours after the Chang'e-3 probe (探测器) soft-landed on the moon surface.
The 140 kg six-wheeled rover touched the moon surface at 4:35 a.m., leaving deep lines on the loose moon land. This was recorded by the camera on the lander and the images were sent to the earth, according to the Beijing Aerospace Control Center. After that, the rover and lander will take photos of each other and start their own science explorations.
Earlier this morning, engineers made final checks of the environment of the landing area and the situation of the probe. Yutu, reached its solar panel (光板) and started to drive slowly to the moon at 3:10 a.m.. It took Yutu nearly a whole hour to complete the simple task.
Chang'e-3 landed at the Bay of Rainbows on the moon, at 9:11 p.m. on December 14, making China the
third country in the world to carry out such a mission (执行此类任务) after the United States and Russia.
In old Chinese tales, Yutu was the white pet rabbit of Chang'e’s. The name for the rover was selected following an online survey that collected several million votes from people around the world.
The rover, 1.5 meters long with its two wings folded (折叠), 1 m in width and 1.1 m in height, is a perfect robot controlled by the command center from the earth. It will face challenges including temperature differences of more than 300℃ on the moon.
Yutu will do some research and look for natural resources (资源) for three months, while the lander will conduct an exploration at the landing place for one year. Then they will have a good rest on the moon and will not be used for a long time until China’s next probe visits the moon again.

Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance(距离) away from the starter, you can see smoke from his gun before the sound reaches your ears.
This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight(太阳光) takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light that you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km. per minute. In some cases, the light from one of tonight’s stars had started on its journey to you before you were born.
Thus, if we want to be honest, we can’t say, “The stars are shining tonight.” We have to say instead, “The stars look pretty. They were shining four years ago, but their light has only just reached the earth.”
小题1:Light speed is ______ sound speed.
A.as fast as
B.a million times slower than
C.about millions of times faster than
D.about a million times faster than
小题2: If you stand 200 meters away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race, you will find out that ______.
A.you can hear the sound before you see the smoke
B.the sound does not travel as fast as light
C.the sound will reach you before the man fires
D.sound travels about a million times faster than light
小题3:Sunlight obviously(显然的) ______ than the light of the moon.
A.has to travel a greater distance
B.moves less quickly
C.travels much more quickly
D.is less powerful
小题4: The scientific way of saying "The stars are shining tonight" should be ______.
A.the stars have been shining all the time
B.the stars seen tonight will shine four years later
C.the stars were shining long ago but seen tonight
D.the starlight seen today could be seen four years ago
In most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollution(污染). They join "environment(环境)club". In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean.
Here are some things students often do.
No-garbage(垃圾)lunches. How much do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school.
No-car day. On a no- car day, nobody comes to school in a car- not the students and not the teachers. cars give pollution to our air, so remember: walk,
Turn off the water! Did you know that toilets(抽水马桶)can waste twenty to forty tons(吨)of water an hour? In a year, that would fill a small river! In the environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets.
We love our environment. Let's work together to make it clean.
