15.What makes it rain?Rain falls from clouds for the same reason anything falls to Earth.The Earth's gravity pulls it.But every cloud is made of water droplets or ice crystal(冰晶).Why doesn't rain or snow fall constantly from all clouds?The droplets or ice crystals in clouds are extremely small.The effect of gravity on them is slight.Air currents move and lift droplets so that the net downward amount of water is zero,even though the droplets are moving constantly.
It can be seen that droplets and ice crystals behave somewhat like dust in the air in a beam of sunlight.To the casual observer,dust seems to act in a totally random fashion,moving about
without fixed direction.But in fact dust particles(分子) are much larger than water droplets and they finally fall.The average size of a cloud droplet is only 0.0004inch in diameter(直径).It is so small that it would take sixteen hours to fall half a mile in perfectly still air,and it doesn't fall out of moving air at all.Only when the droplet grows to a diameter of 0.008inch or larger can it fall from the cloud.The average raindrop contains a million times as much water as a tiny cloud droplet.The growth of a cloud droplet to a size larger enough to fall out is the cause of rain and other forms of precipitation.This important growth process is called"coalescence".

68.Ice crystals do NOT immediately fall to Earth becauseA.
A.they are kept up by air currents
B.most of them change into steam
C.they combine with other chemicals in the atmosphere
D.their electrical charges draw them away from the earth
69.The underlined word"random"in line 10most probably meansA.
A.unpredictable     B.strict    C.independent     D.abnormal
70.What can be inferred about drops of water larger than 0.008inch in diameter?C
A.They never occur.
B.They are not affected by the force of gravity.
C.In moving air they would fall to earth.
D.In still air they fall a speed of thirty-two miles per hour.
71.How much bigger is the rain drop than a loud droplet?D
A.200times bigger
B.1,000times bigger
C.100,000times bigger
D.1,000,000times bigger.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了雨滴的形成过程和怎样的雨滴才能顺利落到大地上.

解答 68.A.细节理解题,根据第一段The effect of gravity on them is slight.Air currents move and lift droplets so that the net downward amount of water is zero,even though the droplets are moving constantly可知冰晶不会立即掉落到地球,因为他们被气流保持在那儿;故选A.
69.A.词义猜测题.根据第二段To the casual observer,dust seems to act in a totally random fashion,moving about可知对于偶然的观察者来说,尘埃似乎完全是随机的,四处移动;意为难以预料的;故选A.
70.C.细节理解题.根据第三段Only when the droplet grows to a diameter of 0.008inch or larger can it fall from the cloud可知只有当液滴的直径增大到0.008inch或大到可以从云中落下;故选C.
71.D.细节理解题.根据第三段The average raindrop contains a million times as much water as a tiny cloud droplet可知雨点平均含有一百万倍的水的小云滴;故选D.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

20.You're rushing to work and a man ahead of you collapses on the sidewalk.Do you stop to help?In a study of by-standers,it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on  walking rather than stop and get involved.
"There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed."says a psychologist."The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help.In order to take action,you have to work against them."Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping.
●Why should I be the one?I'm probably not the most competent(有能力的) person in this crowd.You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.
●What if he doesn't really need my help?The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others.
●No one else looks concerned-this must not be a problem.We can follow the people around us,but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.
"If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction,force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,"says the psychologist."Then retry to involve other people; you don't have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful.Sometimes it's just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying,‘It looks like we should do something.'Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and,if not,to call for one.Once you take action,most people will follow you."
56.Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others?B
A.I'm not the very person capable of setting the problem.
B.It looks like we should do something.
C.It must not be a problem as no one else is concerned.
D.He doesn't really need my help.
57.According to a study of by-standers,what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk?C
A.They will call for help and then walk away.
B.They will stop and offer help.
C.They will turn away their eyes and go on walking.
D.They will laugh at him.
58.We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot trouble,C.
A.we should call the ambulance as soon as we can.
B.we should take on the whole responsibility and do something alone.
C.we should stop and evaluate the situation and try to make other people follow.
D.we should turn to other people and ask them to take on the responsibility
59.In order to offer others your timely help,you need toD.
A.ask others for help and call the police
B.get along well with the passers-by who spot the trouble
C.go directly to the police station
D.work against the first thoughts that prevent you offering help
60.The main purpose of the text is to tell readersA.

C.not to risk looking foolish                    
D.to stop and evaluate the situation.
7.October 15th is the Global Handwashing Day.Activities are planned in more than 20 countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.For example,donators will give 150,000 bars of soap to schools in Ethiopia.
Experts say people around the world wash their hands every day,but very few use soap at so-called important moments.These include after using the toilet,after cleaning a baby and before touching food.
Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap.Partners include the United Nations Children's Fund,American government agencies,the World Bank and soap makers Unlever and Procter and Gamble.The organizers say all soaps are equ ally effective at removing disease-causing germ.They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap.Rub it into all areas,including under the fingernails.Rub for at least twenty seconds.Then rinse well under running water.Finally,dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air.
The Partnership for Handwashing says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend in washing hands.Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs.And it usually leaves a pleasant smell.The Partnership for Handwashing also says washing with soap before eating or after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine(疫苗)or medicine.Hand washing could also prevent the spread of other diseases.When people get germs on their hands,they can infect themselves by touching their eyes,noses or mouths.Then they can infect others.

A.Say no to washing hands in the wrong way.

5.A young man and an old man were waiting for a bus.(61)Theysat next to each other."What's that in your bag?"asked the young man,pointing to a big bag beside the old man.
"Gold.There was nothing but gold,"answered the old man.The young man could not believe his own ears and was (62)ingreat surprise.Then he began to think about (63)howto get the money.The old man was very tired and it seemed that he could hardly keep his eyes open.After a while the old man (64)lay(lie) down on the chair and fell asleep.
The young man took (65)the big bag gently and quietly.But when he was just about to run away,he found a corner of his fur coat was under the old man's body.Several times he tried to pull it out,(66)but in vain(徒劳).At last he took off his coat,(67)thinking(think) that the gold in the bag must cost far more than his fur coat.
Worried but (68)delighted(delight),the young man ran out of the station as quickly as his legs could carry him,until he reached a place (69)where he thought the old man couldn't find him.He stopped and (70)quickly (quick) opened the bag but he just found a great many of small stones in it.Then he ran back to the station hurriedly only to find that the old man was gone.
