根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。注意：涂卡时，如答题卡上没有E、F、G选项，请按如下方式填涂：选E涂AB；选F涂BC；选G涂CD。
Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer (温度计) for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear.    1    We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.
Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.
Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide.     2    
The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury (水银) inside a clear glass tube. As mercury ( or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts (收缩) . That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube.     3       
First, take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with colored water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw (吸管) through the nail hole.
     4    
Finally, place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water level easily.
     5     
As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the level in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water level in the straw each morning for a week.
A.      We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.
B.      Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.
C.      Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.
D.      The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.
E.      They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.
F.      Take wax ( you may use an old candle if you have one ) and melt some of it right where the straw is stuck into the cap to seal them together. 
G.      People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.

Answer 1

【小题1】A
【小题2】E
【小题3】C
【小题4】F
【小题5】D

解析【小题1】根据上文我们外出时，会使用温度计测量问题，说明我们使用并依赖温度计来测量温度。
【小题2】上文提及了两种不同的计量方法，接下来就是分开来讲着两种方法。
【小题3】根据下文的制作方法可知是自己制作温度计。
【小题4】根据上下文的制作方法可知本部分是如何固定吸管。
【小题5】根据下文可知水温上升，吸管里的水也会上升，是因为水会膨胀。
