    We cannot feel speed. But our senses let us know that we are moving. We see things moving past us and feel that we are being shaken.

    We can feel acceleration, an increase in speed. But we notice it for only a short time. For instance, we feel it during the takeoff of a plane.

    We feel the plane’s acceleration because our bodies do not gain speed as fast as the plane does. It seems that something is pushing us back against the seat. Actually, our bodies are trying to stay in the same place, while the plane is carrying us forward.

    Soon the plane reaches a steady(稳定的) speed. Then, because there is no longer any change in speed, the feeling of forward motion stops.

1. We can tell that we are moving by ______.

[　　]

A. watching things move past

B. feeling the speed

C. feeling ourselves being shaken

D. both A and C

2. Acceleration is the name for ______.

[　　]

A. an increase in speed

B. a steady speed 

C. any kind of movement

D. the movement of a plane

3. During the takeoff of a plane, we feel that we are being ______.

[　　]

A. thrown forward

B. pushed back against the seat

C. lifted out of the seat

D. pushed down into the seat

4. We feel the plane’s acceleration because our bodies gain speed ______.

[　　]

A. just as fast as the plane

B. faster than the plane

C. more slowly than the plane

D. before the plane

5. This feeling stops when ______.

[　　]

A. the plane stops climbing

B. the plane lands

C. there is no longer a change in speed

D. we begin to feel speed

答案：A;A;B;C;C

　　People in Mutsuhito, Japan, lived through one hundreds, and sometimes thousands, a day．But they couldn’t get used to it．

　　What was it? It was a string of earthquakes that made the small town shake all the time．This went on for more than a year．Sometimes the quakes were very small．Only certain instruments could pick them up．At other times, the quakes damaged houses and land．The people were always afraid．They wished they knew how to stop the ground from shaking．

　　People all over the world would like to know when an earthquake is coming．But an earthquake is almost always a surprise．Under the surface of the Earth, huge blocks of rock drift apart or slide against each other．The ground above splits apart or rumbles and shakes．

　　Some scientists hope to predict quakes by keeping a close watch on animals．It seems that some animals can sense an earthquake coming．In 1969, animals in a Chinese zoo began to act funny one day．Swans flew out of their pond．A panda sat down, covered its eyes with its paws, and groaned．The animals seemed to know that something was about to happen．And it did．An earthquake struck．What was it that the animals sensed? Scientists are trying to find out．

　　Keeping close track of the Earth’s magnetic force in earthquake areas may also help．A few years ago, in Hollister, CA, scientists kept a record of the area’s magnetic pull．For one week, the force grew stronger．Then it weakened suddenly．A day later, an earthquake struck．

　　It may become possible to know when and where an earthquake will happen．But it will be much harder to stop one from happening．

　　Many scientists think that the Earth’s covering is not smooth．They say the earth’s “skin” is made up of huge puzzle pieces called plates．Land and ocean floors make up these huge plates．Under the Earth’s crust(外壳), or plates, is hot rock．The plates float on top of this rock．Sometimes the rock forces its way through the crust．What happens then? A volcano is born! More often, the rock moves and forces the plates to pull away from each other, causing earthquakes to happen．(Volcanoes and earthquakes often go together．)

　　Sometimes, the plates end up on top of each other．When this happens, the land above may look strange．Seen from the air, there seems to be a long scar in the Earth．This is called a fault(断层)．The areas along faults have more earthquakes than other parts of the Earth．

　　For now, we’ll just have to shake along with the Earth．It goes through millions of small earthquakes every year．With luck, you won’t feel a thing!

(1)

with you on a holiday and you will cover far more ground than you would on
foot! Bike rentals are inexpensive and it is a great way to enjoy the scenery of
your vacation destination. Be sure to wear a helmet, and if you enjoy biking at
night, be sure to use a light on your bike.
     Edmonton has 260 km of bikeways with its boundaries, making it the most   
largest bikeway network in North America. Visit www.Edmonton.ca.
     TEAM SPORTS are an excellent way to burn calories and stay fit while
having fun with others. It is a chance for you to meet new people and build       
a social support network that will help you to stay motivated during the
summer months.

Association runs all the year round. For more information about joining a
summer Frisbee league, visit www.Edmontonfrisbee.org.

    If you're training for a marathon , a proper plan for water intake (摄入) is important . Of course , there's
the risk of dehydration (脱水) . But athletes now know they can also get into trouble by drinking to much .
To much water intake can lower levels of sodium (钠) in the blood . The death of a 28-year-old woman
following the Boston Marathon caught the attention of many runners and led to new research .
     Experts advise long distance runners to replace the liquids they sweat out . Their goal is to try to keep
someone from not getting dehydrated by more than 2 percent of their body weight .
     One technique for deciding how much water you need is to get the exact numbers . Runners have to
weight themselves before and after a run to determine how much water they've lost . If their weight drops
by more than 2 percent , they have not drunk enough water.
     Hyponatremia occurs when runners drink so much water that blood salt levels drop off . A study
published last year tested 488 runners who completed the Boston Marathon and found 13 percent of them
had dangerously low blood salt levels . The first sign that runners may notice is slightly swelling in the
hands . They can't get their rings off , and then they might feel sick . They may not remember where they
are . In fact , most runners get enough salt to get back to normal levels by eating just one meal after a run .
Contrary to the old advice that runners should drink as much as they can to prevent dehydration , the new
research has shown that the body is a remarkable machine that actually tells you via thirst when you need
water .
1．The author of this passage is primarily concerned with        .
A．the signs and treatment for dehydration
B．the long distance runners who need help
C．how to manage water intake during a marathon
D．a 28-year-old woman who died after a Boston Marathon
2．Why do runners have to weigh themselves before and after a run ?
A．They can improve their performance in a run .
B．They can learn how much salt there is in the blood .
C．They ca know the quantity of water they've lost during a run .
D．They can decide what kind of water they should take during a run .
3．What conclusion can we draw from the passage ?
A．Taking much salt during a run can avoid selling in the body .
B．Either too much or to little of water intake is harmful .
C．A rich meal is helpful to our performance in a run .
D．We should take enough salt during a run .
4．According the passage, which of the following statements is correct ?
A．Too much water intake→blood sodium levels ?→dehydration .
B．Too much water intake→blood salt levels ?→hyponatremia .
C．No water intake→blood sodium levels↑→hyponatremia .
D．No water intake →blood salt levels ?→hyponatrenmia .
