There are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.
  First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
  Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did man tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.
  The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs (感觉器官).
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.
【小题1】The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ___________.

A.a red box is heavier than a white one
B.a color has weight in one’s mind
C.white paper is lighter than red paper
D.you can know the weight of a color by holding it
【小题2】 Why did the scientist say colors have smell?
A.Because people can sense the light from colors.
B.Because we can smell colors with our nose.
C.Because every color has its own sweet smell.
D.Because every color can give off light of the same length.
【小题3】 If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will ___________.
A.riseB.fallC.stay the sameD.change now and then
【小题4】It can be implied from the text that ___________.
A.colors have orders in weight
B.colors can change the weight of an object
C.people would stay longer in a room with red windows
D.colors can affect our mood and health
【小题5】This passage is probably a ___________.
A.book reviewB.fiction novelC.fairy taleD.science report

C
Dangerous Sports
Around the world more and more people are taking part in danger ous sports and activities.Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure—those who have climbed unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans.Now, however, there are people who seek an immediate thrill, a risky activity, which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.
I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity.You jump from a high place(perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 meters above the ground with an elastic(有弹性的) rope tied to your feet.You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground.It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs.
  Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring.Not very long ago, people’s lives were constantly in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and there was a continuous battle for survival.
Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement.They live and work in comparatively safe environments; they buy food in shops; there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.
65.The best title for the text is          .
A.Dangerous Sports: What and Why
B.The Boredom of Modern Life
C.Bungee Jumping: Is It Really Dangerous.
D.The Need for Excitement
66.More and more people today           .
A.are tying activities such as bungee jumping
B.are climbing the highest mountains
C.are coming close to death in sports
D.are looking for adventures such as traveling into unknown places
67.The writer of the text has a        attitude towards dangerous sports.
A.positive    B.negative    C.neutral(中立的)  D.nervous

阅读下面的短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

  The Cave Crawler mining robot

  Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It’ s an increasingly urgent question, given the recent high-profile(引人注目的)mining accidents in Sago, W.Va., and Huntington, Utah.A small group of engineers and robotics experts envision(展望)a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.

  One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie-Mellon University's Robotics Institute.It was called Groundhog and it looked like a golf cart.It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines-some of the most dangerous work in the business.

  The latest prototype is called Cave Crawler.It's a bit smaller than Groundhog, and even more advanced.It can take photos and video and has sensors mounted that can detect the presence of dangerous gases.Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logic.If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused, it has to think through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person.

  The biggest obstacle, though, is cost.The original research project was federally funded, but that money has dried up, and it's not clear where future funding will come from.Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past.Since 1990, fatalities have declined by 67 percent, and injuries by 51 percent, according to the National Mining Association.

  Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry.The robots do the most repetitive and dangerous jobs, but don't eliminate the need for human workers.

(1)

The phrase “throw a fit” in the 3rd paragraph probably means ________.

[  ]

A.

get angry

get shocked

The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because ________.

[  ]

A.

it can map abandoned mines

B.

it's a bit smaller than Groundhog

C.

it can see in the dark tunnel

D.

the robot has a real sense of logic

(3)

We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.

[  ]

A.

the mine robots will have a very bright future

B.

robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry

C.

there will be no need for human workers in mines

D.

robots in mines have a long way to go

(4)

Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

[  ]

A.

High-profile mining accidents in America.
