26、What is the sky？ Where is it？ How bright is it？ What lies above it？ These questions are difficult to answer, aren’t they？

  Is the sky blue？ The sky has no color. We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can’t fly very high because the air gets thinner when they go up higher. If we go up about 1,200 kilometers from the earth, we’ll find no air there.

  When we talk about the sky, we usually mean the atmosphere around the earth. It is like a very thick “cover” over the earth and keeps it warm. Without the “cover”, the earth would be a very cold place and nothing could live on it.

  Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue, but the sky would be dark blue if you go to the top of the highest mountains. And you will see fewer clouds between you and the sun.

  And if you sit in a spaceship high above the earth, there is no air at all. The sky would be so dark that its color would be black.

  Sometimes the sky doesn’t look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. These are the most beautiful moments of the day.

  Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters (散射) the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no light and no colors.

【1】Planes can’t fly very high because ____________.

A．there is air around the world

B．the air gets thinner when they go up higher

C．it’s warmer in the sky

D．the air gets thicker when they go up higher

【2】We can see colors of the sky because ____________.

A．the sun rises and falls every day

B．the sky has lots of colors

C．the air scatters the sunlight

D．the sunlight has many colors

【3】Which of the following is TRUE？

A．There is little air without light and colors in the sky.

B．The sky will look red, orange and other colors at noon.

C．The sky has only one color when the sun rises and falls.

D．The sky is dark blue if you go to the top of the highest mountains.

27、One day when some workers were rebuilding a barn(谷仓), they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force(迫使) the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later, they saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had ran away. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing（挤）out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away at once. Instead, one ran after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite(咬) the tail of the other.

Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.

After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.

One serious American man said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.” The others thought for a while and said: “That was why!”

A smart French said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense.

A Japanese said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable(合理的). So they expressed agreement another time.

At that moment, one Chinese asked: “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?”

Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained(保持) speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer.

In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty(忠诚) or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.

【1】 Neither of the two mice ran away at once because ______.

A. one was biting the other

B. the mouth of the hole was too small

C. they were not afraid of smoke

D. one was trying to help the blind one

【2】It is clear that ______.

A. all the mice came out of the hole easily

B. each of the people understood the relationship differently

C. the people wanted to kill the mice with smoke

D. the people knew one of the mice was blind at first sight

【3】“it made sense” probably means ______.

A. it was correct   B. it was strange

C. it was funny   D. it was sweet

【4】The best title for the passage is ______.

A. TWO LOVELY MICE   B. HELP PRODUCES LOVE

C. FRIENDS IN NEED   D. LOVE IS ALL

28、请根据文章内容及首字母补充单词的正确形式。

A man, sold his well（井）to a farmer. But when the farmer went to take water from that well, the man did not allow him to do so.

The farmer became very a【1】 and came to the King for help. The King asked Birbal, a wise man, to s【2】 the problem. Birbal asked the man, “Why didn’t you let the farmer use the water in the well? ”The man replied. “I have sold the well to him, but not the water. He has no right（权利）to use the water in the well. ”

Birbal smiled and said to the man, “Well, you think the farmer has no right to use the water in the well, and I must tell you that you have no right to keep your water in his well e【3】.You should pay rent（租金）to him. ”

Hearing Birbal’s words, the man felt a【4】 of himself. So later he allowed the farmer to take water from the well. Then the King and the farmer were both h【5】 with the result.
