In February of 1974，Bill Tapp，an Australian farmer，saw a rain of fish that covered his farmHow surprised he must have been when he heard many fish hitting against his roof !What caused this strange occurrence? This is a question that had long puzzled people who study fishThe answer turned out to be a combination of wind and stormWhen it is spring in the northern part of the world，it is fall in AustraliaThroughout the autumn season，terrible storms arise and rains flood the landThe strong winds sweep over Australia like huge vacuum cleaners，collecting seaweed，pieces of wood，and even schools of fishStrong winds many carry these bits of nature for many miles before vacuum dropping them on fields，houses，and astonished peopleAlthough they seem unusual，fish-falls occur quite frequently in AustraliaWhen Bill Tapp was asked to describe the scene of fish，he remarked，“They look like millions of dead birds falling down” His statement is not surprisingThe wonders of the natural world are as common as rainNature，with its infinite wonders，can create waterfalls that flow upward and fish that fall out of the sky56What is this passage about?AA sad storyBA rain of fishCAustralias northern

delivers that” Ashley laughed and said，“Well，that depends on what you think beauty is”Days later，someone delivered a letter to AshleyThe letter said，“You are worthy of the bad things that will come your wayYou will know the taste of defeat，and I will destroy you”Ashley suddenly felt very coldIt was as if the room temperature had dropped 30 degrees“Who would do such an awful deed? ” she wondered“I will not let a simple letter defeat me”Just then，Chris came into the room and offered Ashley a piece of his sandwich“Try some，” he smiled widely“Its delicious”“Are you trying to poison me?” Ashley askedChriss reaction was delayed from confusion“Whats your problem?” he askedThe next day，Ashley brought a bat to use to defend herselfWhen Chris saw her bat，he joked，“Defend and win one for the team”Ashley took no notice of himShe spent the whole day reading self-defending books and placed her work on delay“You cant delay your workOur job demands us to do our work on time，” Chris said“We

speak out ones mindCMany people have described television as a passive activity that is harmful to childrens educationHowever，there are good and bad ways to watch televisionParents who are interested in exploiting television as a learning tool can actually turn time in front of TV into an educational chanceProbably the most familiar educational way to use television is to simply watch educational programsIn particular，this means selecting channels and programs specially designed for educational purposesAlong with traditional educational shows for children on public broadcasting channels，cable television (有线电视) now offers kids and adults a wide variety of educational programs，with everything from nature shows to historical events in different countriesCaptioning (字幕)，such as “closed captioning” for hearing disabled viewers provides another way for parents to exploit the educational possibilities of televisionOne study showed that children who watched captioned TV got great improvement in their vocabulary and oral reading abilityIn addition，parents can make any show a learning class by watching television together with childrenBy actively joining children in the programs that they are watching，parents can help with the development of such skills as predicting (预见) and summarizingIn order to develop predicting skills，parents and children could first refer to a programs description in a viewing guideAfter reading the program description and guessing what might happen in the program，parents and children could watch together to see which predictions were correctAnd to practice summarizing，after watching a program，parents can turn off the TV and ask what the story was aboutThis kind of activity helps children develop thinking skills such as arranging events in an order and memorizing informationAlthough there will still be plenty of times when children watch TV simply for passive enjoyment，parents can help make at least part of their childrens viewing time a more productive activityUsed intelligently by exploiting the learning chances available through various programs，television can play an instructive role in childrens education64Which activity is NOT suggested in the passage?ATalking about TV shows BWatching captions on TVCEnjoying films about nature DWatching shows for homework65Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?AParents can simply make any show a learning class for their childrenBTo make watching TV a more productive activity parents should include themselves in the producing processCMost parents have changed their attitude to their kids watching TV and become positive to the problemDIn a way，it is how parents act that leads to whether watching TV may do good or not to their children66We can infer from the last paragraph that _Anot every minute when a child watches television must be educationalBchildren should not use television for passive enjoymentCsome children prefer reading to watching televisionDtelevision offers more learning chances than school67Which of the following questions is the major one discussed in the passage?AWhat makes television more interesting than books?BWhy should schools put television into classrooms?CHow can parents use television as a teaching tool?DWhich program can actually make kids smarter?DThe single，decisive factor that made it possible for mankind to settle in lasting communities (社区，聚居地) was agricultureAfter farming was developed in the Middle East in about 6500 BC，people living in family units did not have to be on the move continually searching for food or hunting their animalsOnce people could control the production of food and be assured of a reliable supply of it，their lives changed completelyFarming was a revolutionary discoveryIt not only made settlements possible and later the building of cities but it also made available a reliable food supplyWith more food available，more people could be fedPopulation therefore increasedThe growing number of people available for more kinds of work led to the development of new social formationsWith more and more food，a community could support a variety of workers who were not farmersFarming in the world over has always relied upon a dependable water supplyFor the earliest societies this meant rivers and streams or regular rainfallThe first great civilizations grew up along riversLater communities were able to develop by taking advantage of the rainy seasonsAll of the ancient civilizations probably developed in much the same way，in spite of a few differencesAs villages grew，the production of more numerous goods became possibleCloth could be woven from woolHouses made of wood，brick，and stone could be put upThe science of mathematics was an early outgrowth of agriculturePeople studied the movements of the moon，the sun，and the planets to work out seasonsBy doing so they created the first calendars (日历)With a calendar it was possible to find out the arrival of each growing seasonMeasurement of land areas was necessary if field was to be divided accuratelyMeasurements of amounts，for example，of seeds or grains was also a factor in farming and housekeepingLater measures of value as money exchange became commonAll of the major ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia，Egypt，the Indus Valley，and China appeared in the 4th millennium BCHistorians still argue over which one came into being firstIt may well have been the Middle EastThis place reaches out from the Nile River in Egypt northward along the coast of former Palestine，then eastward into Asia to include MesopotamiaIn this area people settled along the riverbanks and practiced field agricultureThis kind of farming depended on the reproduction of seed，normally from grain crops68The final result of the development of agriculture was that _Athe population increased slowly Ba variety of jobs were open to peopleCa constant supply of food was certain Da new social formation came into being69Which of the following is true according to the writer?ASocieties in the past in different parts of the world grew in similar waysBCloth-making marked an important period in agricultural developmentCModern cities developed out of originally wealthier villagesDMathematics helped create the agricultural society70The development of mathematics _Agot the society out of the agricultural ageBmade possible the exchange of agricultural goodsCenabled people to arrange their agricultural activities betterDhelped create early agricultural civilization
