Anna’s Talent Show

It was very late, but Anna was still awake. She lay on her bed, thinking about the coming talent show tryouts(选拔赛).

As the organizer, she had thought the talent show would be exciting, but she had not been prepared for the _______. For the past week, many students had been trying to convince(使…信服) her of their talents and hoping to_______her decisions about who should be in the show.

Anna knew who really had talent, but some of them were her friends. If she chose them, some students might doubt whether her decisions were fair.

“I’ll just tell everyone not to talk to me until after the talent show,” she thought. “I’ll explain that I have to remain neutral(中立的)and make sure the best acts are chosen. And everyone will _______ me. Won’t they?” With that thought she fell asleep. As soon as Anna arrived at school the next morning, Josh rushed up to her.

“I’ve been practicing on the guitar,” he told her. “You’ll love my new song!” Anna smiled weakly. “Thanks, Josh.” she said in a quiet voice and_______turned away.

Just then Patti came up and said, “I’m working on a new monologue. You’ll love it!” Anna sighed. She believed Patti, but if she included everyone, the whole school would be in the show. Anna asked her closest friend, Margaret, for_______. Margaret thought for a few moments. “Maybe you can find teachers to be the judges for the tryouts. But remember to keep their names secret so that students won’t_______ them.” “You’ve saved the day, Margaret. Thanks!” Anna took a deep breath and smiled. “That’s the perfect_______.” Early the next day, Anna visited several teachers. They were all happy to help.

The first breath-taking pictures of the Earth taken from space showed it as a solid ball covered by brown land masses and blue-green oceans. We had never seen the Earth from that distance before. To us, it appeared as though the Earth had always looked that way and always would. Scientists now know, however, that the surface of the Earth is not as permanent (永久的) as we had thought.

Scientists explain that the surface of our planet is always moving. Continents moves about the Earth like huge ships at sea. They float on pieces of the Earth's outer skin. New outer skin is created as melted rock pushed up from below the ocean floor. Old outer skin is destroyed as it rolls down into the hot area and melts again.

Only since the 1960s have scientists really began to understand that the planet Earth is a great living machine. Some experts have said this new understanding is one of the most important revolutions in scientific thought. The revolution is based on the work of scientists who study the movement of the continents-a science called plate tectonics.

The modern story of plate tectonics begins with the German scientist Alfred Wegener. Before World War One, Wegener argued that the continents had moved and were still moving. He said the idea first occurred to him when he observed that the coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together like two pieces of a puzzle. He proposed that the two continents might have been one and then split apart.

Wegener was not the first person to wonder about the shape of the continents. About 500 years ago, explorers thought about it when they made the first maps of Americas. The explorers noted the east coast of North America and South America would fit almost exactly into the west coast of Europe and south Africa. What the explorers did not do, but Wegener did, was to investigate the idea that the continents move.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.The coastline of India and Africa fit together.

B.Our ancient thought that the surface of the earth is still.

C.Alfred Wegener was not the first person to investigate the idea that the continents move.

D.We didn't see the Earth from far away until we saw the picture taken in the space.

2.The last word of the third paragraph "tectonics" means" "______".

A.study of building B.study of the earth structure

C.study of the earth surface D.study of designing

3.What did the explorers find?

A.The east coastlines of North America and the west coast of Europe could fit together.

B.The coastlines of North America and Africa could fit together.

C.The coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together.

D.The coastlines of North America and India could fit together.
