I grew up in Malaysia. Since we did not have many toys, we used rubber bands (橡皮筋) to make a jump rope. Three years ago, when my daughters Michelle and Theresa were 9 and 12 years old, they were making bracelets (手环) using rubber bands. It struck me that I knew how to do that. I like to impress my daughters and show them that their dad is cool, so I tried it too. To my surprise, I couldn’t work with the bands because my fingers were too big.

Since I studied engineering, I decided to come up with a solution (解决办法). I ran down to my basement and found a piece of wooden board, some pushpins and hooks (图钉和钩子). With the help of these things, I managed to make a bracelet. One of my daughters said, “Wow, that’s cool, but I can make it by hand.” So I started to put two, three, four, five rows together. I crossed the bands into diamond patterns using rainbow colors, which is how the Rainbow Loom (彩虹织机) got its name.

My daughters were so excited that they showed the bracelets to their friends. We started to get requests for them. But they were still difficult to make. I thought, “If I can make a small, easy-to-use loom, I’m onto something big.” It took six months and a lot of support from my kids to perfect the idea.

I tried to sell the loom by making videos about how to use it and taking my daughters to stores to show it. Many store owners thought it might be too difficult to use. For a year, we sold it only on our website. When it became popular with kids, it got noticed by toy stores.

It is so exciting that a simple idea my kids and I came up with together at our living-room table has become a nationwide fad.

1.The author tried to show his daughters how to make bracelets but _____.

A. was refused B. regretted

C. failed D. was misunderstood

2.The author made up his mind to find a method of _____.

A. making bracelets

B. using a jump rope

C. impressing his daughters

D. inventing the Rainbow Loom

3.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to _____.

A. looms B. bracelets

C. friends D. rainbows

4.What did store owners think of the author’s invention at first?

A. They thought highly of it.

B. They had a long wait for it.

C. They showed a great interest in it.

D. They thought there was no market for it.

A dam is like a wall that is built across a waterway to control the flow of the water.For many years,dams were built only of earth and rocks.Today,many dams are built of concrete.

When a dam is built,water is trapped and held behind the dam.This water forms a lake.The lakes can be used for recreation or for irrigating,or watering crops.The lakes also provide potable water,water that is safe for drinking.This potable water is piped from the lake into houses and other buildings.The lake water further serves as a home,or habitat,for fish and waterfowl.

Dams are often built to provide flood control.Just before the rainy season,the water in the dam is allowed to flow out very slowly.This lowers the water level in the lake so that snowmelt and rainfall can be stored there in every spring and used as needed during the rest of the year.

Some dams are built to use the power of falling water to make electricity.Such dams have powerhouses that contain machines;turbines and generators.Water falls from the lake to the river below the dam.As the water falls,it is sent through the powerhouse.There,the force of the water turns the turbines and generators and produces electrical power needed to light and heat buildings.

1.The word used to describe water that is safe for drinking is .

A.portable water B.dirty water

C.orange juice D.boiled water

2.According to the story,dams are built for different reasons.But all dams .

A.control the flow of water

B.are built of earth and rocks

C.provide electrical power

D.provide potable water

3.If the water level in the lake behind the dam is not lowered before the rainy season,the .

A.water in the dam will flow out too slowly

B.snowmelt and rainfall might cause a flood

C.lake will probably dry up

D.water can irrigate

4.When dams are built to provide electricity,which of the following happens first?Water .

A.is sent through the powerhouse

B.pressure turns the turbines and generators

C.falls from the lake to the river below the dam

Every spring Beijing is choked by huge sandstorms.The sky turns a strange and frightening yellow colour as clouds of sand sweep down from the deserts of Mongolia and north-western China.Strong winds blow up the dust and cover everything in sight—in 2006,a storm dumped 330,000 tonnes of dust on Beijing in one night.

The number of sandstorms has grown alarmingly over the years as the deserts have expanded.This is partly man-made and partly because of climate(气候).Many grasslands have been overgrazed(过度放牧)by sheep and goats,or ploughed up,leaving the soil dangerously exposed.Too much water has been taken out of rivers,and the situation is made worse by increasingly long-lasting droughts that have affected the northern half of China as the climate grows warmer and drier.The result is probably the worst loss of rich land to deserts in the world and a dust bowl of extremely large proportions.The nearest sand dunes to Beijing are now only 70 km away and drifting closer each year.At this rate,the desert will reach the city by 2040,and Beijing could become the world’s first modern city to disappear under sand.To hold back the deserts,a huge programme of forest planting called the Great Green Wall has been under way for over 30 years.The barrier(隔离带)is planned to be 4,500 km long when completed in several decades(十年),but the drought is having a very bad effect on the trees and the deserts carry on growing.

1.All the following are the reasons for the expansion of the deserts EXCEPT .

A.the soil of the grasslands is exposed

B.too much water in rivers has been used

C.it doesn’t rain for a long time

D.the climate in northern China is colder and drier

2.At what speed do the nearest sand dunes move towards Beijing according to the passage?

A.More than 15 km a year.

B.More than 2 km a month.

C.More than 2 km a year.

D.More than 15 km a month.

3.What is the purpose of the huge programme“the Great Green Wall”?

A.To protect the Great Wall.

B.To plant as many trees as possible along the Great Wall.

C.To stop the deserts from moving towards Beijing.

D.To plant as many trees as possible in Beijing.

4.In which section can this passage most likely be found in a newspaper?

A.Science and technology.

B.Weather.

C.Environment.

D.Health and life.

We do not know when man first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout history. Historical evidence shows, for example, that people who lived over 3,000 years ago ate salted fish. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to preserve (保存) the dead.

Stealing salt was considered a major crime (罪行) during some periods of history. In the eighteenth century, for example, if a person was caught stealing salt, he could be put in prison and his ears could be cut off.

In the Roman Empire, one of the most important roads was the one that carried salt from the salt mines to Rome. Guards were stationed(安置) along the route to protect against salt thieves, and they received their pay in salt, thus bringing the English word, salary. Any guard who fell asleep while on duty was thought to be “not worth his salt”, and as a result he would get a little less salt on his next payday. The expression, “not worth his salt”, is still used today in English.

In the modern world salt has many uses beyond the dining table. It is used in making glass and airplane parts, in the growing of crops, and in the killing of weeds (杂草). It is also used to make water soft, to melt (融化) ice on roads and highways, to make soap, and to fix colors in cloth.

Salt can be got in various ways besides being taken from mines underground. Salt water from the ocean, salt water lakes or small seas can be used to make salt. Yet, no matter where it comes from, salt will continue to play an important role in the lives of people everywhere.

1.According to the text, salt can be used in the following EXCEPT _____.

A. keeping dead bodies

B. punishing thieves

C. protecting crops

D. making industrial products

2.In the Roman Empire many people were employed as guards to _____.

A. protect the city of Rome

B. watch people carrying salt

C. prevent thieves from stealing salt

D. carry salt from the mines to Rome

3.The expression “not worth his salt” used today refers to the one who _____.

A. fails to do his work well

B. should not be paid in salt

C. doesn’t want to work at all

D. should use less salt

4.The main purpose of the text is to tell readers _____.

A. how salt was found and got

B. salt is important in people’s life

C. salt was difficult to get in the past

D. what salt brings to the English language

The surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you. Air pressure is a powerful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water pushing on your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer (层) of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earth’s surface.

The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised (监督), because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment.

What you need

● hard-boiled egg without the shell

● A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg

● A piece of paper

● A match

Method

1) Check that the egg will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.

2) Tear the paper into pieces and put them into the bottle.

3) Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.

4) Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.

Result

Astonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.

Why it happened？

As the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen (air) in the bottle. The egg acts as a scale in the neck of the bottle, so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air presses against the egg, and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on us.

1.Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?

A. The bottle could break.

B. You need to light the paper with a match.

C. The egg needs to be shelled (脱壳).

D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.

2. How did the egg get into the bottle?

A. The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.

B. It became soft without the shell.

C. The neck of the bottle was wide enough.

D. The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.

3.The experiment is carried out to prove___________..

A. water pushes on your body when you swim underwater

B. the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere

C. the pressure of air around us has a powerful force

D. the air pressure is not equalized around us
