核心考点
试题【We have no idea about   1 men first began to use salt. But we do know that it ha】;主要考察你对科普环保类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
According to some predictions, human beings will die out in 2012. Nearly all people think it’s impossible, but there are some more earthquakes in recent years.
Animals can predict the weather or other natural events. It may sound strange, but farmers living in the countryside think so. For hundreds of years , they have observed animals.
“Animals ’ behavior can be connected to future weather conditions or events.” They say. For example, if cows lie down, a rainstorm is coming. There are many traditional stories connecting animals and natural events. Many people think that these stories don’t have scientific evidence( 根据 ) at all. Scientists, however, are beginning to take another look at some of these ideas.
A Japanese earthquake researcher named Kiyoshi Shimamura noticed an increase in dog bites a short time before earthquake hit. Then he did research on twelve public health centers in Kobe, Japan. These health centers treated people after the 1995 earthquake . He got some interesting information about the month before the big earthquake:  treatment for animals’ bites had increased . In fact, aggressive(侵略的)behavior in dogs, such as biting and barking loudly , jumped 60 percent.
There are also other changes in animals’ behavior before the earthquake. For example, fish began swimming together in large groups , but only in the middle of the water and not near the edges. Birds flew away from their nests for many days, leaving their eggs unprotected . These animals’ behavior suggests that animals may be able to predict natural events better than people.
小题1:What would cows behave before a rainstorm?
A.RunningB.BitingC.Lying downD.Sleeping
小题2:What do dogs begin to do just before an earthquake?
A.They leave their homes. B.They hurt people.
C.They lie down in grass.D.They stay together in large groups.
小题3:Which of the following animals behave strangely before an earthquake according to this passage?
A.FishB.CowsC.PigsD.All of the above.
小题4:In Kiyoshi Shimamura’s investigation(调查),before the big earthquake, treatment for animals’  bites had _________.
A.disappearedB.increasedC.been the same as before.D.never changed.
小题5:What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Natural events and animals’ actions.
B.What animals do during earthquakes
C.Many earthquakes of Japan.
D.Some stories about animals.

At last, the mid-term exams are over. You’ve done the hard work, but you can’t relax. You have to prepare for the next exams. Do you hate exams? If you do, you are not alone. Students in other countries hate them as well.
Luckily for them, British students have fewer exams than Chinese students. And they only have them once a year. Every summer they take a test in each subject. Each test lasts about an hour. These exams don’t count for much, even if a student does really badly they still progress to the next grade. When the results come out, they are then placed in an end-of-year report. The report is sent to the child’s parents. It describes how the student studied at school.
This report is private, so only the teacher, the student and his or her parents see it. This means that the students don’t know how other students scored(得分) in the test. Some students choose to tell each other, but others keep it secret.
Parents’ meetings are held twice a year, at the end of winter term and then at the end of the summer term. Children go along with their parents to meet their teachers privately and discuss their performance at school.
小题1:For British students, the school life is         than that of Chinese students.
A.more relaxingB.much tenserC.more boringD.much harder
小题2:The underlined phrase “don’t count for much” means

Thirty years ago, Lake Ponkapog in Hartwell, New Jersey, was full of life. Many birds and animals lived beside the water, which was full of fish. Now there are few birds, animals, and fish. The lake water is polluted. It is in a colour of dirty brown, and it is filled with strange plants.
How did this happen? First, we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains, water comes into the lake from all around. In the past, there were forests all round Lake Ponkapog, so the rainwater was clean.
Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use the chemicals (化学制品)in their gardens. They use other chemicals inside their houses for cleaning and killing insects. There are also many businesses. Businesses use chemicals in their machines of shops. Other chemicals fall onto the ground from cars or trucks. When it rains, the rainwater picks up all the chemicals from home and businesses and then carries them into the lake . They pollute the water and kill the animals.
Boats on the lake are also a problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats(汽船). But oil and gas from boats often get into the lake. So more bad chemicals go into the water this way.
People in Hartwell are worried . They love their lake and want to save it. Will it be possible? A clean lake must have clean rainwater going into it. Clean rainwater is possible only if people are more careful about chemicals at home and at other chemicals on the ground. And they mustn’t use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people’s lives. Only then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful, clean lake again.
小题1:In the past, the water in Lake Ponkapog was made clean by ________.
A.forestsB.rainC.birdsD.fish
小题2:Chemicals from homes and businesses _________.
A.are always cleanB.can help the animals
C.are good for the lake D.get into the rainwater
小题3:Cleaner rainwater will mean _________ .
A.more boats on the lakeB.more dirty things in the lake
C.a cleaner lakeD.a dirty lake
小题4:To save Lake Ponkapog, people need to ________.
A.be more careful about chemicals B.use the water
C.grow fewer plants in the gardens D.use more motorboats on the lake
小题5:The passage is about ________.
A.boats on the Lake PankapogB.why the water is dirty in Lake Ponkapog
