24、How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks any where in the world?
The sun was probably the world’s first “clock”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos live. There, it’s dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun fully, if you don’t have a clock that shows time, you still know that when the sun shines, it’s day, and when it’s dark, it’s night. The sun can not only tell you whether it’s day or night but also it’s morning, noon, or afternoon. When the sun is almost over your head, it’s noon.
People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides(潮水). In the daytime, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every twenty-four hours.
Seaman on a ship tells time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.
In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.
A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over the sand will take another hour to go back again.

A. three B. four C. five D. seven
【2】 The Eskimos in the far north can’t use the sun for a clock because ___________.
A. they know very little about the sun
B. the sun there never goes down in winter

D. it has long dark winters and long light summers
【3】This passage is probably a kind of ___________.
A. news B. science
C. advertisement D. sports
【4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Different ways to tell time.
B. How the clock was invented.
C. The development of the clock.
D. A useful machine to tell time.
25、Up to two thirds of children don't get as much sleep as they should do, and this can make them nervous and slower at school, researchers say.
So how long should young people sleep each night? The answer is between 8 and 10 hours. If you don't get enough sleep at night, you'll have less energy the next day.
But the researchers say many children have missed out on 4,500 hours of sleep by the time they are 7 years old. They say that children miss sleep because they have TVs and computers in their rooms, and busy parents don't read to their young children at night any more. The traditional “bedtime story” helps children relax and fall asleep peacefully. Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms are more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than 8 hours' sleep.Even losing one hour's sleep a night can mean that children do less well at school.
German scientists think that your brain keeps working while you're sleeping. To show that they were right, they gave two groups of people a problem to work out. One group went to sleep, and the other group stayed awake. What is the result? The people who slept worked out the answer more quickly, suggesting their brains had been trying to find the answer while the people were asleep. So, make sure you get enough sleep tonight, and you'll be at your best tomorrow!
【1】What happens to children at school if they don't get enough sleep?
A. They walk more slowly.
B. They can relax.
C. They watch more TV.
D. They do less well at school.
【2】The main idea of the second paragraph is ________.
A. how much sleep we need each night
B. children don't get enough sleep
C. our brains never really go to sleep
D. TVs and computers are the problems
【3】How does a bedtime story help children get a good night's sleep?
A. It helps children relax and fall asleep peacefully.
B. Children lose more sleep.
C. Children have more energy.
D. Children get to sleep later.
【4】Why is it better to sleep in a room without a TV or a computer?
A. You can read stories before you go to sleep.
B. You sleep better and get more sleep.
C. You have less energy.
D. Your brain works better.
【5】What does the German scientists' experiment show?
A. Sleep helps children learn to read.
B. Losing sleep means children don't learn well.

26、If you look at a house from far away, you might see some of its features, such as doors and windows. If you go nearer to the house, you might find that it is made of bricks. When you look closely, you can see that the house is made of many bricks.
The bricks are the building blocks (块) of the house.
Your body has building blocks too. They’re called cells. The bodies of plants and animals are very different from one another, but they all have one thing in common—all are made up of cells. There are many different kinds of cells in your body. Each kind of cell has its own job, such as muscle (肌肉) cells, bone cells, and blood cells.
Cells work together to keep your body alive. A group of similar cells that work together to do the same job form a tissue (组织). The human body is made of different kinds of tissues. Muscle tissue and nerve (神经) tissue are two kinds of tissues.
An organ is a group of different kinds of tissues that work together to carry out a certain job. Each kind of organ in your body has a special job to do. Some examples of organs are your stomach, heart and skin.
Like cells and tissues, organs work in groups too. A group of organs that work together to do a certain job is called an organ system (系统). All the organ systems in your body work together to keep you alive. These systems can be put into the two groups—Support and Control Systems as well as Energy and Transport Systems.
【1】A tissue in the human body is made up of________.
A.lots of building bricks
B.blood, bones and muscles
C.a group of similar cells
D.cells that do different jobs
【2】From this passage, we know that ________.
A.all the cells in the body do the same job
B.cells, tissues and organs all work in groups
C.our bones, muscles and nerves are all organs
D.the stomach and heart are two examples of tissues
【3】It is possible for you to read this passage from ________.
A.a short novel
B.a travel guid
C.a chemistry book
D.a medical magazine
【4】What’s the best title of this passage?
A.A closer look at your body
B.The building blocks of your house
C.An introduction of two organ systems
D.The jobs done by different kinds of cells
27、As populations keep increasing in cities, city planners look under their feet for answers. With space in cities so limited, often the only choice for those who can afford to expand their property is to go underground.
One idea, which hasn’t been realized yet, is the ‘Earthscraper’ mentioned for Mexico City. This 65-storey inverted (倒置的) pyramid has been suggested as a way to provide office, shopping and living space without having to tear down the city’s historic buildings or break its 8-storey height requirement.
Many questions remain to be discussed, however, such as how you provide light, remove waste and protect people from fire or floods. Some of them have been answered with the construction (建设) of the Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland hotel in China. This 336-room resort was built into the rock face of an 88m-deep, disused quarry (采石场) .
The island city-state of Singapore is also exploring its underground choices. Not only are its Jurong Rock Caverns being turned into an underground storage facility (装备) for the nation’s oil reserves, but there are also plans to build an ‘Underground Science City’ for 4,200 scientists to carry out research.
In New York, the Lowline Project is turning a disused subway station into a park. Expected to open in 2021, it uses a system of above-ground light-collection dishes to provide enough light to grow plants, trees and grass.
【1】What’s the reason for people to explore the underground space?
A.People who explore the underground space can afford to expand their property.
B.Scientists have new discoveries when they are exploring the underground space.
C.The population in cities is growing and the space in cities is too small to live in.
D.People explore the underground space because they want new places to live in.
【2】Which is NOT the requirement of the buildings in Mexico?
A.People cannot tear down the city’s historic buildings.
B.People should have enough living space in the city.
C.People can have buildings over the height of 65 storeys.
D.People should have buildings within the height requirement.
【3】What does the word “them” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A.questions
B.light and waste
C.people
D.fire or floods
【4】What can you infer from Paragraph 4?
A.Singapore is building Jurong Rock Caverns and Underground Science City.
B.Singapore is planning its underground buildings because of its small size.
C.Singaporean scientists like underground buildings very much.
D.Jurong Rock Caverns is built to satisfy people’s shopping needs.
【5】What is the best title for the passage?

29、My husband and I changed our yard with fruit trees, such as apples, bananas and oranges.
Every crop brought us closer to and strangers. The food was an to communicate. Kids in the neighborhood (including our son) learned how to be and gentle timing. When we had extra, we would it. Then, we received a powerful lesson: a gift hidden as a loss (损失). Our first-ever crop of oranges had ripened(成熟). , at harvest, they all disappeared in the middle of the night. We were shocked, sad and angry. Friends had fun suggestions. One suggested we post a sign curse(诅咒) those who our fruits.
And suddenly, the lesson was clear. We did need a sign. But our sign would encourage sharing. Last autumn, we had a large crop of oranges. We a sign that read, “If you’d like one, please knock and yourself, and we would be to cut one off the bush for you. Cutting saves the branches and is good for future growth, so we can to share oranges with 7 friends like you. Thanks, the Green Family.”
Out of eight fruits, one orange was taken, and most others were to new friends. This year, we won the Kindness Contest award, so we planted three new fruit trees—a peach, a pear and
a plum. Before they fruit, I’ll a big sign to the yard to encourage sharing. Today, I’m happy to role model generosity(慷慨) for my young son and to have the opportunity to an eatable front yard for others.
