三、阅读理解
Babies
love
chocolate
and
sometimes
they
also
eat
the
paper
around
it.
My
cat
enjoys
a
meal
of
good,
thick
paper,
old
letters,
for
example.
She
doesn’t
like
newspapers
very
much.
Of
course,
the
best
paper
comes
from
wood.
Wood
comes
from
trees
and
trees
are
plants.
Vegetables
and
fruit
are
plants
too,
and
we
eat
a
lot
of
them.
So
we
can
also
eat
wood
and
paper.
Scientists
say,
“All
food
comes
in
some
way
from
plants.”
Well,
is
that
true
Animals
eat
grass
and
grow
fat,
then
we
eat
their
meat.
Little
fish
eat
little
seaplants,
then
bigger
fish
swim
along
and
eat
them.
Chickens
eat
lots
of
grass
and
give
us
meat.
Think
for
a
minute.
What
food
does
not
come
from
plants
in
some
way
Scientists
can
do
wonderful
things
with
plants.
They
can
make
food
just
like
meat
and
cheese.
And
they
can
make
it
without
the
help
of
animals.
It
is
very
good
food,
too.
Now,
they
begin
to
say,
“We
make
our
paper
from
wood,
and
we
can
also
make
food
from
wood.
The
next
thing
is
not
very
difficult.”
What
is
the
next
thing
Maybe
it
is
food
from
paper.
Scientists
say,
“We
can
turn
paper
into
food.
It
will
be
good,
cheap
food
too,
cheaper
than
meat
or
fish
or
eggs.”
So
please
keep
your
old
books
and
letters
(Don’t
feed
them
to
your
cat).
One
day,
soon,
they
will
be
on
your
plate.
There
is
nothing
like
a
good
story
for
breakfast.

五、阅读填空
Lightning
is
one
of
the
most
beautiful
natural
phenomena
(现象).
It
is
also
one
of
the
most
deadly
phenomena.
A
bolt
of
lightning
is
six
times
hotter
than
the
surface
(表面)
of
the
sun
and
gives
out
30,
000
amps
of
electricity
(电).
It
can
travel
at
100,
000
kilometers
per
hour
and
has
the
ability
to
hit
a
target
up
to
40
kilometers
away.
About
1,000
people
around
the
world
are
killed
by
lightning
every
year.
Only
about
ten
percent
of
people
struck
(击中)
by
lightning
will
actually
die,
but
the
others
are
actually
very
badly
injured
(受伤),
with
burns,
broken
bones,
blindness,
deafness,
paralysis,
or
memory
loss.
However,
when
the
electricity
passes
through
their
brains
(大脑),
it
can
occasionally
have
unusual
and
even
positive
effects
(积极作用).
Some
blind
(瞎的)
people
have
got
their
sight
back
after
being
struck
by
lightning.
One
woman
said
a
psychological
test
showed
her
intelligence
(智力)
had
greatly
improved
(提高)
and
one
man
said
he
could
no
longer
feel
cold
at
all
and
could
go
out
in
temperature
below
zero
in
just
a
T-shirt!
So
what
should
you
do
to
stay
safe
in
a
thunderstorm
The
most
important
rule
is
to
stay
inside,
but
do
not
go
near
phones,
electrical
appliances,
plumbing
or
water.
If
you
are
struck
outside,
do
not
take
shelter
under
a
tree.
Instead,
roll
(卷)
yourself
up
into
a
ball
on
the
ground
as
small
as
possible.
And
do
not
think
it
has
to
be
raining
in
order
for
lightning
to
strike.
Strangely,
lightning
seems
to
prefer
(偏爱)
some
people
to
others.
If
you
are
a
man,
you
are
more
likely
to
be
struck
by
lightning
than
a
woman!
