and an"empty"room,in fact,are not really empty. Each is filled with air. When the glass is filled with
water, the water pushes the air out of the glass.
Air, as a gas, has no definite (确切的) shape, but because it is matter, it takes up space and it has
weight. It is easy to prove (证明) that air is something that takes up space. Stuff a piece of dry cloth
into the bottom of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside down. Push the
upside-down glass,holding it straight up and down, into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered.
When the glass is taken out of the water, the cloth is still dry. The air inside the glass shows that it takes
up space and keeps the water from coming in.
A. it is a mixture
B. it is a gas
C. it is matter
D. it is nothing
2. Since air is matter, it has .
A. weight
B. color
C. taste

Have you ever noticed an advertisement which says " Learn a foreign
language in six weeks, or your money back! From the first day your
pronunciation will be excellent. Just send..." and so on?
Of course, it never happens quite like that. Anyone who learns a
foreign language would think that it is not true.
The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue. What is
the mother tongue? It is the first and main language that you learnt when
you were a child. And think how much practice that a child gets!
Before the Second World War, people usually learned a foreign
language in order to read the literary (文学的) works of the country.
Nowadays, speaking the foreign language is what most people want.
Every year many millions of people start learning one. How do they
do it?
Some people try at home , with books and tapes; some use radio
or television programs; others go to evening classes. If they use the
language only two or three times a week, learning it will take a long
time, like language leaning at school. A few people try to lean a
language fast by studying for six or more hours a day. It is clearly
easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However,
most people cannot afford this, and many language learners need the
language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and
doctors mainly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign
language. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the
student"s work for him. Whether the language is learned quickly or
slowly, it is hard work with a lot of training in reading, listening,
speaking, and writing.
1. In the advertisement it is possible for a person to learn a foreign, language In fact, everyone
who learns English would think it is not true.
B. half a week
C. six years
D. less than two months
B. write the literary report of other countries
C. read something they didn"t know
D. listen to the radio
A. using the language six or more hours a day
B. learning the language at school
C. studying the language in the foreign country
D. reading the foreign stories as many as possible
B. communicate (交流) with foreign friends
C. go to the other country for further study
D. try their best to work better
B. it is possible for you to learn a foreign language in six weeks
C. it is not good to learn a foreign language by yourselves
D. the quicker you learn a foreign language , the more you may pay for it
When you are reading something in English, you may often meet with a new word. What"s the best
way to know it?
You may look it up in the English-Chinese dictionary. It will tell you a lot about the word: the
pronunciation, the Chinese meaning and how to use the word. But how can you know where the word is
thousands of English words? How to find it in the dictionary both quickly and correctly?
First, all the English words are arranged (安排) in the letter order. In the dictionary you can first see
the words beginning with letter A, then B, C, D…. That means, if there are two words "desert" and "pull", "desert" will be certainly before "pull". Then if there are two words both beginning with the same letter, you may look at the second letter. Then the third, the fourth…

Our school is a beautiful school. It has a good environment. Most of
the students have good manners. But I find that a few students have some
bad manners. For example,I often see a lot of rubbish thrown about on the
grass or around the trash can in our school. It must be thrown by those
students who have bad manners. Also,some students like to draw pictures
or write something on their desks; school walls or other public places.
Some students often destroy(损坏) the lights, doors or windows in their
classroom. Some of them run in the corridors (走廊). Besides these,
some boys are easy to get angry.When having arguments with others,
they are most likely to begin to fightf And the bad behavior has a bad
effect on the reputation(声誉) of our school.
In my opinion, we must take some ways. On one hand , the school
should punish (惩罚 ) those who have bad manners. On the other hand,
the teachers should each the students what are good manners and what are
ad manners. I hope more and more students pay attention to their behaviors
in our school and have good manners.

used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won"t have to go shopping because we will be able to
get most things sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get
all texts (内容) from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food.Most
telephone calls will be made by computers, too.
Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating (交际). Others do not
think that computers will replace (代替) our old ways.

paper. Instead, we"ll buy and read books using computers. We "ll read texts on small pocket computers.
