阅读下面一篇短文,根据其内容填空。
Science is the best way we have of finding out about the world. Scientists collect evidence(证据). They have ideas about the way things work. Science tests those ideas. Sometimes the test will show that the idea is not correct. If the idea passes the test,it adds to our understanding.
Scientists make observations(观察).They may look,or listen. They may read the works of other scientists. This gives them ideas. You can do this. You can look around you. You can ask questions. You can plan a test to find out. You can discover something new.
Scientists make predictions. They say something about the future. They might say "if I do this,then I think that will happen". Isaac Newton was a famous scientist. When he shone white light through a glass prism,he saw a spectrum(光谱) of different colors. Newton predicted what would happen if he shone the spectrum through a second prism. He thought the colors would come together and that he would see white light again. He tried it. He shone the spectrum through the second prism. He was right. The colors made white light. He discovered that white light is made up of many colors.
It's important to test your ideas. It's important to plan a fair test. A scientist wondered how a tree grows. Where does all that material come from?Is it from the soil?
He planted a young tree in a pot. He weighed the pot,the dry soil and the tree at the start of his test. Years later,the tree had grown tall. It had many branches and leaves. The scientist dug it up. He weighed it. The tree weighed far more than when it was young. Then he weighed the pot and the dry soil. It weighed just a bit less. Scientists after him decided that trees use water,and a gas from the air,to grow.
1. According to the passage,we know that science can help us______________.
2. We can know scientists try______________ to make observations in Paragraph 2.
3. After Newton shone the spectrum of different colors through the prism,he saw______________ .
4. Scientists found that trees can grow because of______________ .
5. We have learned that ______________ from the passage.

Topic overview
There are two main kinds of writing systems.
·alphabets (字母表)
·pictures
Basic information
·First writing system: 3,000 BCE (Before Common Era) ·First alphabet system: 2,000-1,000 BCE ·Chinese writing system: from 1,000 BCE
Alphabet writing systems
Some writing systems use alphabets. Alphabet writing systems use letters to tell you what sounds to make. Arabic and English both use an alphabet. There are 26 letters in the English alphabet and 28 letters in the Arabic alphabet. The first alphabet started in the Middle East 3,000 years ago. The English and Arabic alphabets both come from this alphabet.
Picture or symbol writing systems
Some writing systems use pictures or symbols to show the meaning of words. Picture writing started 5,000 years ago in the Middle East. Modern Chinese also uses a picture writing system today. Japanese uses some of the symbols from the Chinese picture system. For example, the Chinese word for fish is "yu" and the Japanese word is "sakana", but both languages write it in the same way. There are thousands of symbols in picture writing systems — you have to learn 4,000 symbols to read Chinese.
Writing systems and change
Languages sometimes change their writing systems. Before 1423, the Korean language used the Chinese picture system. In 1423, the Koreans invented their own alphabet system. Now Korean uses an alphabet system. Türkiye also changed its writing system. Before 1928, Turkish used the Arabic alphabet. Today it uses an alphabet like English, but with some extra symbols, like “” and “”.
Do you use symbols
Today, in many languages, we use symbols to explain what we mean. For example, many people use symbols like and when they write text messages or emails. These symbols show how we feel. They are called emoticons(表情符号) because they tell people about our emotions.

Zheng Xiaohui is a Chinese student in Milan, Italy. To spread traditional Chinese culture to the world, she has given lots of erhu shows on the street.
Zheng has been playing the erhu since she was 9, and she has won prizes in many national music competitions. Zheng arrived in Italy in 2021. Since April 2023, she has been performing on the street during her free time. And now she does three or four street shows a month.

Thinking back to her first street performance, she said she was worried at the time.

Even I could not help dancing along with them,” Zheng said.
After performing a few times, Zheng began sharing videos of her street shows on the Internet. And these videos soon became popular online. Zheng says she wants to show the beauty of Chinese erhu to the world. “I believe that Chinese music has built a bridge for cultural communication,” she says.
Talking about the future, Zheng looks forward to it. She says whatever she does and wherever she lives, she will bring her erhu with her. “I hope to hold my own special concert in the future to make more people learn about Chinese folk music,” she says.

阅读短文,根据其内容完成文后的句子。
How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took ages to be delivered(递送) This was how things worked not very long ago. Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed greatly.
Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with our friends. Social media tools(社交媒体工具) let us see what our friends are busy with and maintain friendships.The digital(数字的) age also enables us to find people who share our interests. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.
But when you "friend" people online, does this mean that they really are your friends It depends. If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to remember that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person. Sometimes smiling photos can hide real problems. On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be sharing our information with criminals.
But this doesn't mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. Although technology has changed the way we acquire(获得) friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.
1. Ways of making friends and communicating with them have changed greatly because of_________ .
2. To stay in touch with our faraway friends, we can _________.
3.Online friendships can be real and meaningful if people_________with each other.
4. The phrase "throw the baby out with the bathwater" means "_________" in Chinese.
5.This passage mainly talks about_________of making friends online.

Trash collection is a problem for Curitiba. First, the city has only one landfill. Second, its garbage trucks do not fit on some of the streets in the city's low-income(低收入) neighborhoods. Curitiba knew the solution lay in getting everyone involved(参加).
In 1989, the city started a recycling program called Garbage That Is Not Garbage. The city set up a central recycling center for sorting(把……分类) recyclable materials and food-based waste. Colorful cartoon characters were symbols of different kinds of recyclable materials, which could help children get to know the importance of recycling. Collection bins were the same colors as the cartoons, reinforcing(加强) the message. People made money by picking up the trash at these bins and taking it to the center for processing. Today, Curitiba claims to have the highest recycling rate in the world.
Càmbio Verde, the Green Exchange program, and Compra do Lixo, the Buying of Garbage program, are successful recycling programs in Curitiba. They get low-income residents(居民) to join in the city's recycling program by having them transport trash from neighborhoods that are hard for garbage trucks to reach.
Depending on what they deliver, people exchange their trash for cash, food and services. Their way of life is improved, and the city is better able to manage its trash. These programs are one way Curitiba has gotten creative as a green city. It shows how involving everyone can make green living possible.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容填空和回答问题。(1至5题每空不超过3个词)
Wind power is a very clean source of energy. This is how wind power works. Wind makes windmills spin(旋转). When the windmills spin, they make electricity. Then we can use the electricity.
A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that's not true. For thousands of years, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today, but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity.
Wind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of all, it's clean. Windmills don't pollute the environment at all. Second, we can use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wind. Also, wind power is cheap, and it's getting even cheaper.
A lot of people don't understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. That used to be true, but it isn't true anymore. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren't dangerous for birds.
However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for some people because windmills are often in very pretty areas. Also, wind doesn't blow all the time, so we can't use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy.
Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world's power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity.
1.Wind power can be turned into_______when windmills spin.
2.People have used wind to______ and move water for a long time.
3.New windmills don't_______because they spin at a slow speed.
4.One of the real problems with windmills is that they_______ .
5.This passage mainly introduces a kind of clean,______energy to us.
