21、An egg sinks to the bottom if you drop it into a glass of ordinary drinking water but what happens if you add salt? The results are very interesting and can teach you some fun facts about density(密度).
What you'll need:
* One egg * Water * Salt * A tall drinking glass
Instructions:
Pour water into the glass until it is about half full.
Mix in lots of salt(about 6 tablespoons).
Carefully pour in plain water until the glass is nearly full (be careful not to mix the salt water with the plain water).
Gently lower the egg into the water and watch what happens.
What's happening?
Salt water is denser than ordinary tap water. The denser the liquid is, the easier it is for an object to float in it. When you lower the egg into the liquid it drops through the normal tap water until it reaches the salt water, and at this point the water is dense enough for the egg to float. If you were careful when you added the tap water to the salt water, they would not mix, enabling the egg to amazingly float in the middle of the glass.
【1】Which of the following is the CORRECT order?________
①Mix in lots of salt.
②Gently lower the egg into the water.
③Carefully pour in plain water until the glass is nearly full
④Pour water into the glass until it is about half full.
A.④②①③
B.④①③②
C.①④③②
D.③④①②
【2】Why can the egg float in the water according to the passage?________
A.Because ordinary tap water is denser than salt water.
B.Because ordinary tap water is as dense as salt water.
C.Because the denser the liquid is, the easier it is for an object to float in it.
D.Because the more the liquid there is, the easier it is for an object to float in it.
【3】What will happen if you drop an egg into a glass of water with about 6 tablespoons of salt? ________
A.It will float in the water.
B.It will sink to the bottom.
C.Nothing will happen.
D.The result is not known.
22、On a recent visit to an exhibition, I broke what is usually a museum’s most fixed rule. I touched the art. No shocked guards stopped me or shooed away the many smaller viewers who were doing the same.
This was the Children’s Museum of Manhattan. But unlike many displays for the young, this one, “Inside Art” features works by 11 adults whose résumés include the Jewish Museum, El Museo del Barrio and the Whitney.
The show lets visitors encounter art “not as a child sort of pretending to be an adult,” said Leslie Bushara, the museum’s director, but “running around like a child.” Run around they do. Joiri Minaya’s “Spandex Installation” invites the curious into a brightly printed maze (迷宫). “Up & Around,” a group of large cylinders (圆柱体) made by Yeju & Chat, appeals to museum goers to stand inside each tube and experience bursts of color and pattern.
The new exhibition expands on a museum tradition begun in 2002, when “Art Inside Out” featured the work of the artist Elizabeth Murray. Children played with models of that art but not the art itself. In 2018, “Art, Artists & You” allowed them to work with resident artists, but not to handle the pieces in the show.
“We knew this next exhibit needed to be something kids could physically engage with and aesthetically (审美地) engage with,” said David Rios, the director of “Inside Art”. That means “not just artwork you can crawl through,”Mr. Rios said, “but you’re making art in the same space.”
Mr. Rios wanted children to be exposed to the participating artists’ philosophies and activism. For the exhibition labels, the artists “were challenged to write about their work as if they were explaining it to a 5-year-old,” he said. But if “Inside Art” serves its purpose, the show will start children on an evolving journey.
【1】What makes “Inside Art” different from exhibitions of its kind?
A.Its artists.
B.Its customers.
C.Its theme.
D.Its location.
【2】What is the author’s purpose of referring to the two exhibitions in paragraph 4?
A.To predict the future of the display.
B.To illustrate the improvement of children’s close exposure to art.
C.To clarify the concept of the exhibition for children.
D.To compare the advantages and disadvantages of various exhibitions.
【3】Why did the artists feel challenged to write the exhibition labels?
A.It’s hard to stop kids running around.
B.It’s urgent to enrich children’s spiritual life.
C.It’s tough to get their thoughts across to children in simple words.
D.It’s significant for the children to participate in the creating process.
【4】Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A.Having Dialogues with Art
B.Touch Art Just Like an Adult
C.An Exhibition Just for Children
D.Interact with Art at a Children’s Museum
23、My 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole. Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety.
Still, the firefighter's first words "You need to come up here to the Stillwater River" made me catch my breath, and his follow-up words gave me relief: “ Your son is OK. ”
When I got to the river, I immediately saw the firetruck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine.
I hurried over to him. "You OK?" I asked.
“Yeah,” was all he said. But my eyes begged for an explanation, I didn't get it from my son, however,_______________________
The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore.
In an age in which the word "hero" is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son. The teens are stubborn and self-centred, but that didn't mean they have no desire to do good.
Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home. Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him, but he had precious little to say. The only words he said were, “What's for supper?”
I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story. But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day. Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep.
【1】Why did the mother allow her son to swim there?
A. He was an excellent swimmer.
B. The water of the river is shallow.
C. He was old enough to swim.
D. The rocks can be of help if there's danger.
【2】The underlined part "who tends to play his cards close to his vest" probably means________.
A. Anton is a boy fond of swimming with other kids
B. Anton is unwilling to tell others what he thinks
C. Anton always has a desire to help others
D. Anton seldom changes his mind
【3】In the mother's eyes, what her son did was_________.
A. dangerous but interesting B. meaningful but difficult
C. unexpected and courageous D. awful and absurd
【4】What might be the best title for the passage?
A. My Son, My Hero B. Anton, A Silent Boy
C. A Good Deed D. A Proud Mother
