How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world The sun was probably the world’s first “clock”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos (爱斯基摩人) 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 tor a clock. Even today, if you don't have a clock, you still know that when the sun shines, it's day, and when it's dark, it's night. The sun can also tell you if it's morning, noon, or afternoon.
People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides. 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 24 hours.
Seamen on a ship learn how to tell 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.
5. According to (根据) the passage, there are ________ ways to tell time besides (除了) the clock and watch.
A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 7
6. 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
C. it's too cold for them to go out to watch the sun D. it has long dark winters and long light summers
7. The underlined (下划线) word “tides” in the passage means ________.
A. 洋流 B. 潮汐 C. 海啸 D. 波浪
8. What's the best title for the passage
A. Different Ways to Tell Time B. Useful Machines to Tell Time
C. The History of the Clock D. The Development of the Clock
C
Characters:
"I"-Storyteller Bertle-storyteller's husband The White Prince-a lion
...
We never had children of our own---just The White Prince---and I can tell you, he was enough of a family for anyone. He walked freely in the park just as we had planned he would, and ran after the deer and the rabbits whenever he felt like it; but he never did learn how to kill for himself. You can't teach old lions new tricks. He lived on deer mostly, and slept on a sofa in our living room---I wouldn't have him inside our bedroom, no matter (无论) how often Bertie asked. You know, I have to draw the line somewhere.
Bertie's leg was never cured. When it was bad, he often needed a stick, or me, or the lion to lean on. It pained him a lot, especially on cold and wet days, and he never slept well. On Sundays the three of us would walk around the park together, and Bertie would sit on the top of Wood Hill with his arm around the lion's neck and I would fly kites. You know, I've always loved kites. And the lion liked to break them into pieces.
The lion never showed any interest in running away, and even if he'd wanted to, the park wall was too high for an old lion to jump over. Wherever. Bertie went, he wanted to go too. And if ever Bertie went out in the car, then he'd sit by me in the kitchen, and watch me with those great amber eyes, listening all the while for the sound of Bertie's car coming up the path to the front of the house.
The lion was getting older. Add he became weak in his legs and could see very little. He spent his last days sleeping at Bertie’s feet: When he died, we buried (埋葬) him at the bottom of the hill. Bertie’s wanted it that way so he could always see the place from the kitchen window. I suggested Bertie plant a tree in case (以防) he forgot where the lion was. "I will, but he should get more than a tree." Bertie said.
Bertie was sad for weeks, months after the lion died. There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even comfort him. He would sit for hours in his room, or go off on long walks by himself. He seemed so shut away inside himself, so distant (遥远的). Try as I did, I could not reach him.
(Adapted from The Butter fly Lion)
9. What did Bertie's wife mean by saying "I have to draw the line somewhere"
A. She would like the lion to sit by her. B. She didn't expect Bertie to keep the lion.
C. She didn't allow the lion to enter their bedroom. D. She wanted to stop the lion walking freely in the park.
10. Which description about the lion is TRUE according to the story
A. He seldom broke kites into pieces. B. He could jump over the park wall.
C. He became weak in his legs and eyes. D. He could kill deer or rabbits for himself.
11. What can be inferred (推断)---from the story
A. Bertie's leg was badly hurt by the lion. B. The lion wanted to leave Bertie's family.
C. Bertie's wife would plant a tree for the lion. D. Bertie loved the lion more than his wife did.
12. The story is mainly about ___________.
A. Bertie and his wife -the owners of the lion B. tricks that Bertie and his wife taught the lion.
C. the habits that the lion formed in Bertie's family D. the last days the lion spent with Bertie and his wife

There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant but are not. “Face the music” is a good example. When someone says they have to “face the music", it does not mean they are going to a concert. “Facing the music” means to accept the punishment (惩罚) of an action.

But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely fast car." 2.___________ You want to show off to some friends. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. Bang!
When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”. 3.___________ It could be losing her friendship or paying to repair her car-or both.Whatever the music is, you must face it.
4._____________ To “take your medicine" means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie it,” they mean you created a bad situation and now you have to experience the results!
