four activitiescclay is found almost everywhere in the world. it is formed by the action of wind and water on rocks over thousands of years. clay is important because it is used around the world to make containers of all kinds. potters(陶工)add water to soften the clay，making it easier to form into shapes by hand or by machine. then it is fired in an extremely hot stove. the result is a container with a hard surface that will last for many years.in many countries, clay was formed from volcanoes. this kind of clay usually contains many minerals. so the fires to make containers from volcanic clay must be hotter than those used for non-volcanic clay. the fires may be as hot as one thousand four hundred degrees celsius.it is also important to dry the clay containers slowly. this means that the highest temperature should not be reached too fast.you can add materials to clay to gain desired results. for example, you can add sand to prevent tiny breaks or lines from forming in the finished product. but you should not use sand from the coasts of oceans. instead, you should use sand from rivers or from other areas of land that are not near the sea.you can usually find good clay in low areas of islands or land, especially if volcanoes helped form the land. clay often exists in fields covered with some water. the clay will be found about one meter below the ground. river banks often also have clay about one meter or less under the surface.you can recognize clay because it is very shiny when it is wet. you can also perform a test. take some of the material and add enough water to it to make it seem like you are making bread. then press it in your hand until it is about the size of an egg. it is probably clay if it holds together instead of falling apart when you stop pressing. 44. volcanic clay requires higher temperature because a. it is collected from soil b. it usually contains more sandc. it usually contains many minerals d. it is used to make larger containers45what is the right order of making a container? a. soften the clay with water b. heat it in a very hot stove slowly c. collect fine clay deep under the earth d. make the clay into a certain shapea. a，b，c，d b. d，c，b，a c. b，a，d，c d. c，a, d，b46. what does the author tell us in the last paragraph?a. tips for us to pass a test. b. the process to make bread.c. proper ways to recognize clay. d. where we can find good clay.dif “i love you” are the three nicest words in the english language, then “just in case” must be the three most annoying. they are often followed by “you never know” suggesting a whole bundle（大量）of horrors if you dont go along with the “just in case” idea.the first “just in case” you heard was probably from your mother. do you remember “always make sure your underwear is clean. just in case”? youd ask “in case of what?” and shed say, “you never know” if you kept asking ,she would finally say the ominous（不祥的）words. “you could be in an accident.” through most of you school years, besides books, pens, etc you carried around a heavy sweater, sunscreen, and a rain coat, just in case it got cold, or hot, or it rained. thanks to mom, “just in case” ruled your life. it was the same with halloween candy.“dont eat in until mom or dad can check it out, just in case.”“in case of what?” youd say.“you never know.”“know what?”and then it came the threat which ensured you would end up letting mom and dad eat all your candy. simply because they loved you so much and wanted to protect you from harm. “there could be poison in it.”as we get older, the habit has become so deep-rooted that we force it on ourselves. we leave for the airport to catch our flight half an hour before the aircraft leaves its previous location, just in case the traffic is bad. “just in case”. the phrase is so much a part of our lives. im going to print up this article now, but ill also save it onto my hard drive, just in case my computer crashes. ill also save it on a disc, and just in case the disc gets damaged. ill save it on my flash drive. wellyou never know. thanks a lot, mom!47what does the authors attitude towards the three words “just in case”?a. objective b. positive c. critical d. indifferent48. your parent always says the three words “just in case” because he or she wants to a. control your lifeb. bring you an easy lifec. brighten your lifed. ensure you a safe life49. what does the underlined “the threat” in the passage refer to?a. there could be bad trafficb. you could be in an accidentc. there could be poison in your candyd. mom and dad could eat up your sweets50. the main idea of this passage is that “just in case” _a. threatens our life b. gets us in troublec. becomes our habit d. makes life annoying第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）
