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.
小题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
小题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
小题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.

答案

小题1:B
小题2:C
小题3:D
解析

试题分析:在这篇短文里,讲述了为什么天空会呈现不同的颜色。那是因为空气散射光线的结果。例如越高空气越稀薄,在高山顶上看到天空是深蓝色,在太空看到天空是黑色的等。
小题1:细节理解题。文中第一段Planes can’t fly very high because the air gets thinner when they go up higher.飞机不能飞得太高,因为越高空气越稀薄,故选B。
小题2:判断推理题。文章最后一段Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters (散射) the sunlight. Light travels through the air现在你或许明白我们看到颜色是因为空气散射太阳光,而光线穿过空气。由此判断我们看到有颜色的天空是因为空气散射的原因,故选C。
小题3:判断推理题。文章第四段but the sky would be dark blue if you go to the top of the highest mountains.但是当你爬到最高山顶时,天空是深蓝色的,故判断D正确。

We must always ask “whys”. If it is not well understood, write it down and ask our teachers or our parents, or friends. In any possible way, we must know it completely and what we’ve learned can be used well and made better.

Colorful hair speaks more about beauty. Now it becomes popular and people are dyeing their hair to make it different. Dyeing hair with natural products is good for health while dyeing with chemicals is harmful. Researches have found that dyeing hair with chemicals can make people have cancer.
  Lead(铅)is very harmful for the human body and it is used in most hair dyes. Since the base of hair is the scalp(头皮),you may have allergic reaction(过敏反应).
  While dyeing your hair it is important to take some safety measures. You can follow them even when you are applying(涂) dye on your hair at home.
• It is better to apply hair dye for a few minutes. If you leave your hair with dye, longer than the necessary time,then you may get some skin problems.
• Don"t forget to wear gloves while applying dye on the hair. This will protect the skin of your
hands.
• After applying hair dye it is important to wash your hair with water.
• Hair dyes are made of chemicals. If you mix different hair dyes ,there may be chemical reaction.  So, It is not a good idea to mix different hair dyes at the same time.

DNA is the whole “map” of the human body. It is something that all human have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes”(基因) in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are really messages. They’re written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell(细胞) to build its parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do.
Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more “words” and and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive, or stop sick people getting jobs.

Ladies and gentlemen, I returned to this year in a time machine. In the year 2500, we are able to travel through time to any year in the history of the earth. This year is your last chance your lifestyle to save the earth.
Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, a few people were worried about polluting the earth’s water and air, but most people did not change their way of life. Instead, they continued to pour(倒) dangerous chemical(化学物品) and other waste into lakes and seas, to drive more and more cars and trucks, and to cut down trees.
By the year 2200, the earth’s water was completely polluted. People could no longer drink water, and they had to use other types of liquids(液体). Scientists said that in the future there might be too many people on the earth. But not enough was done.
So by the year 2300, there were so many people that food became scarce. There was no water to grow food and all of the fish in lakes and seas died because of pollution. Terrible wars broke out between the rich and the poor. Scientists were working very hard to find another planet in space where humans could live.
By the year 2400, the air was too polluted for humans to breathe. So we had to leave the earth. But only the rich were able to leave. Where did we go? Nowhere. And everywhere. You see scientists did not find another safe planet, so now we must travel around the universe in our space ships. We are still looking for a place to call our home.
So it is up to you to change history. There is still hope. You must change your lifestyle now, before it is too late.
小题1:Which problem is NOT talked about in Paragraph 2?
A.WaterB.AirC.LifestyleD.Food
小题2: The underlined word ‘scarce’ means ‘______’ in Chinese.
A.昂贵的B.充足的C.缺乏的D.特殊的
小题3:Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Only a few people changed their lifestyle in the 20th century.
B.There was no clean water for people to drink by the year 2200.
C.All the fish died because of the pollution by the year 2300.
D.We found a new home in another planet by the year 2400.
小题4:What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Stop pollutingB.Change or leave
C.Look for new homeD.Return to the earth
