When you cut your skin, you bleed(流血). If a person loses a lot of blood, he will become ill and may die. Blood is very important. People have always known that. At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong!
When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. They take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it. This is called " blood transfusion". The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person.
But there are two problems. First, it does not always work. Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion. Later, doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood. There are four groups—O, A, B and AB. We all have blood of one of these groups. They also find that they can give any kind of blood to people of group AB. But they find that they must give A-group blood to A-group people and B-group blood to B-group people. I have O-group blood and the doctor told me that I could give blood to anyone else safely.
There is another problem. To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group. Often they can not find a person in time. If they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it, they can always have the right kind of blood. At first they find they can keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days. They do this by making it very cold. Then they find how to keep it longer. In the end they find a way of keeping blood for a very long time.
We call a place where we keep money a "bank". We call a place where we keep blood a "blood bank". One day, when you grow up, you may decide to give blood to a "blood bank". In this way you may stop someone from dying. Or perhaps one day you may become ill. You may need blood. The "blood ban" will give it to you.
1.From the passage, we learn that sometimes people die when they have blood transfusions because they .
A. are unhealthy people
B. have lost a lot of blood
C. are not given the right kind of blood
D. are AB-group people
2. Which of the following is true
A. Doctors can give any kind of blood to the writer.
B. The writer can give blood to B-group people.
C. The writer has never had a blood transfusion.
D. The writer has the same kind of blood as his father.
3. People set up the "blood bank" so that they can .
A. give the right kind of blood to the people who need it in time
B. keep different groups of blood as much as possible
C. make it easier to sell or buy blood
D. keep blood for more than twenty hundred years
4. From the last paragraph (段落) of the passage, we learn that .
A. the writer thinks it's good to give blood to a "blood bank"
B. we may become ill if we give blood to a "blood bank"
C. many people died because they lost a lot of blood
D. blood is more important than money
5. The writer doesn't talk about in the passage.

Have you ever rubbed your hands together when they get cold Why do we do that We do that for friction. Friction happens when two things that aren’t very smooth rub together to make heat energy. The faster you rub two things together, the more friction (and heat) you can make. Let’s discover friction!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
·Soap ·Water ·Your hands!
WHAT TO DO:
1. Make sure your hands are dirty.
2. Rub your hands together until you feel the heat of your hands.
3. Now, use soap and water to get your hands very slippery (滑的).
4. Try to make friction happen while your hands are slippery.
5. Please write down what has happened.
LET’S TALK!
Friction is an energy that happens when two things tub together. When friction happens, it makes heat! When your hands are slippery, they won’t make very much friction and your hands won’t get so hot.
DID YOU KNOW
1. Friction happens when you stop your fast running bike.
2. Ancient people made fires by rubbing two pieces of wood together. Friction happened though they didn’t know it.
___ __ _________
Friction is everywhere. Have you ever noticed situations where friction is happening If not, ask your parents to take you out in a car. If it is not hot, touch the tires (轮胎) of the car before and after a short drive to see how much warmer they get from friction.

No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting(天气预报).
For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.
Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.
36. Which of the following can be used here to replace(取代) the underlined phrase “on the way”
A. away B. gone C. disappearing D. coming
37. When you see the stars twinkle clearly at night, the weather will be_________.
A. warm B. rainy C. clear and fine D. cold
38. Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy
A. A rainbow appears in the morning.
B. Some birds fly high.
C. The stars twinkle clearly at night.
D. Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.

Have you ever walked into a room and felt relaxed？It could be because the walls were painted blue, a calm and peaceful color .
Sometimes colors can affect our feelings and moods. Some colors can make us feel calm and peaceful. Blue is one of these. Wearing blue clothes or sleeping in a blue room is good for our mind and body, because this color makes a good feeling. Blue is also the color of sadness, so you may say you’re feeling blue when you are feeling sad. White is another calm color. You should wear white clothes if you are feeling nervous. White is also the color of purity(纯洁). Many women like to be in white on their wedding day. Green is the color of nature. It can give us more energy when we are feeling tired.
Some colors can make you feel warm. These colors can give you a happy feeling. People who live in cold climates use warm colors in their homes like orange and yellow instead of white and blue.
Orange shows joy. It can bring you success and cheer you up when you are feeling sad. Yellow is the color of the sun, so it can remind you of a warm, sunny day. Yellow is also the color of wisdom. Some people prefer this color when they study for exams. For example, they may use yellow school things. Red is one of the strong colors. Wearing red often makes us active.
In short, we can try out different colors if we aren’t feeling our best.

Scientists think that a weather pattern(形式)called E1 Nin6(厄尔尼诺现象)caused the
drought(干旱)in Australia．E1 Nin6 causes different weather in different parts of the world．It
causes a lot of rain and floods in some places．It causes droughts in other places．Droughts can badly affect people and the land．E1 Nin6 lasts about a year．
In normal weather conditions．warm winds from South America blow from east to west across
the Pacific Ocean．The winds early storms to Australia．These storms bring rain to Australia．
During an E1 Nin6 weather pattern．the winds change direction．They blow from west to east
across the Pacific Ocean．The storms n0 longer move across Australia．So Australia gets very little rain during E1 Nino．
The drought began in January，1982．E1 Nino often occurs at this time of year．But that year，
E1 Nino was stronger than usual．There Was very little rainfall(降雨量)in eastern Australia．There was also very little water in the rivers．The drought WaS at its worst in February，1983．At that time，the weather was very hot．The forests and fields were very dry．Cotton growers eouldn’t plant their cotton．Sheep farmers had no grass for their animals to eat．So many of them died．Because the forests were dry．forest fires started quickly．Some of the fires burned for a month．Many forests were destroyed．Over 2,000 people lost their houses in the fires and 75 people died．
The Australian drought of 1982-1983 affected thousands of people and animals．The drought
cost the country over$3,000，000，000．It was a reminder(提示)to Australians of how the weather
could change their lives．1

Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce a child’s chance of becoming short-sighted, a research shows. It challenges (挑战) the belief that short- sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.
The Australian government researchers believe that sunlight is good for people’s eyes. They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted--this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.
Both groups spent a similar amount of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However, the Australian children spent an average(平均) of two hours a day outdoors—90 minutes more than the Singaporean children.
Professor(教授) Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s Vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world—and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors. “
Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside prevent us from becoming short-sighted Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people becoming short-sighted.
So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or playing sports.
1. How much time did the Singaporean children spend outdoors on average every day in the research
A. 2 hours. B. 90 minutes. C. 1 hour. D. 30 minutes.
2. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about
A. Why people become short-sighted.
B. Why natural light has a special chemical.
C. Why playing outside is good for one’s eyesight.
D. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.
3. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. People will all become short-sighted after they begin to go to school.
B. Playing outdoors for 2 or 3 hours every day can help protect your eyesight.
C. Children in Australia are more likely to get short-sighted than those in Singapore.
D. If you spend two or three hours playing outside each day, you won’t get short- sighted.

In most situations, light helps us see. But nowadays humans are using too much of it so that it is in fact a kind of pollution.
When it comes to looking at the night sky, too much light makes it difficult for us to watch some of life’s most wonderful sights: stars, planets and even galaxies(星系).
According to scientific research, about 2, 500 stars can be seen by the human eye without using any special equipment(设备). But because of light pollution, you can only see 200 to 300 stars from today’s countryside, and no more than ten stars from a city. In most big cities, people cannot see the sky filled with stars like they did in their childhood.
Light pollution affects more than just our view of sky. Research shows that lots of nighttime light can harm wildlife, too.
When birds fly to another place over cities, they sometimes get lost by the brightness and fly in circles(圈) until they drop from tiredness. Sea turtles(海龟) need dark beaches for laying eggs, but they can’t find their ideal places because of those bright lights.
Too much light at night may even affect human health, but scientists are not sure of that. They are still learning more.
In order to prevent things from going worse, governments and some organizations are working to reduce light pollution. Many cities and towns have taken action to reduce the use of lights at night. Lights are used only when and where they are truly needed. They also shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky and use lower brightness levels.
Hopefully, in the near future, humans can enjoy the clear and beautiful sky again and all the wildlife will live a peaceful and undisturbed life, too.
1. Why does the writer think that too much light is a kind of pollution
A. Because there are fewer and fewer stars.
B. Because human health has been affected.
C. Because too much light is a waste of energy.
D. Because some of the wildlife can be harmed.
2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned(提到)in this passage
A. The problems that light pollution has caused.
B. The reason why humans use too much light.
C. The ways that light pollution can be reduced.
D. The reason why fewer stars can be seen than before.

（一）（2009山东泰安）
There is not enough oil in the world now. As time goes by, it becomes less and less, so what are we going to do when it runs out Perhaps we will go back to using horses, carriages and bicycles.
In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas made from petroleum (石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The car didn’t go fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we can’t cut down all our trees to make gas; we need our trees for other things, too.
Besides different types of gas, we can also use electricity (电) to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal and they make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big, strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines (涡轮机) and make electricity more easily and cheaply.
We are also able to get power from the ocean tides. We put turbines into the mouth of the river. Then the tide comes in, the water turns the turbines and then it goes out, it turns them again.
Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future
1. When might people have to go back to using horses and carriages
A. When they are poor. B. When they run out of oil.
C. When they need more exercise. D. When there aren’t any big trees in the world.
2. What did some people use to make gas in the Second World War
A. Water B. Coal C. Wood and plants D. Tides
3. How many ways are suggested to make electricity in the passage
A. 2 B. 5 C. 4 D. 3
4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is True
A. There is more petroleum than we can use now.
B. Trees are needed for some other things besides making gas.
C. We got electricity from ocean tides in the old days.
D. Gas wasn’t used to run cars in the Second World War.
5. The passage is mainly about ________ .
A. how to run our cars B. what to do when oil runs out

（三）（2009苏州）
When we talk about intelligence(智力)，we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school．By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving(表现)，especially in a new situation．If we want to test intelligence，we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do．
For example，when in a new situation，an intelligent person thinks about the situation，not about himself or what might happen to him．He tries to find out all be can，and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it．He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out，but at least he tries．And if he cannot make things work out right，he doesn’t feel ashamed(羞愧)that he failed，he just tries to learn from his mistakes．An intelligent person，even if he is very young，has a special outlook(看法)on life，a special feeling about life，and how he fits into it．
If you look at children，you’ll see great difference between what we call“bright”children and“non-bright”children．They are actually two different kinds of people，not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence．For example，the bright child really wants to find out about life-he tries to get in touch with everything around him．But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world：he seems to have a wall between him and life in general．
1．According to this passage，intelligence is the ability to__________．
A．get some high scores on some tests

Every 30 seconds there is an earthquake. But don't worry because most are so weak that they cannot be felt. Only a few big ones hurt people.
Many earthquakes happened in China, such as the big one is Sichuan last year. Thousands of people died in it. So it's important to know what to do when one hits. Here are some tips on how to stay safely in an earthquake.
If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you.
If you are outdoors, move to a clear place. Try to be away from trees, signs, buildings and streetlights. These could fall on you.
If you are in a shop and far from the door, don't try to run to outside and rush for exits(出口). Everyone will be doing that and you’ll find it hard getting out. Don't get into a lift during an earthquake. Just hide under some strong covers near you.
When an earthquake has ended, be careful because after-shocks may still happen. These are just as dangerous as the earthquake itself. So stay under the desk until you make sure it's safe to get up.
If you are at home and you smell gas, open the windows and get out of the building as quickly as you can. A gas line in your house may be broken. This could be very dangerous.
1. Most earthquakes are too ________ to hurt people.
A. strong B. weak C. dangerous D. heavy

How can we see colors We see colors when light hits our eyes. Dogs and many other animals can’t see colors. But bees can. This helps them find flowers to fly to.
