heat water. they are used around the world. the solar water heater is based on a design developed some years ago in afghanistan. since then, it has been built and used in many countries. it can heat seventy liters (升) of water to 60. it can do this between sunrise and noon on a clear day with an average temperature of 32.there are two parts of the solar water heater. one part, the collector, is made of a metal plate painted black. this metal surface, placed in contact with the water, will heat the water. black-painted surfaces that receive the suns heat become hotter than those of any other color. metal plates that have raised parts on the surface work better than those without them. once the water is heated, it is kept hot with special material, which allows the water to stay warm for a long time.the second part of the solar water heater holds the water for the system. this water tank (水箱) can hold about one hundred liters of water. two rubber pipes are connected to the water tank. one pipe lets water go into the system. the other lets water go out.when the water heater is working correctly, water will flow from the tank to the collector and back again. you can use the hot water at the top of the tank for washing and cleaning. this solar water heater is easy to build and operate. it will last about two years before the rubber pipes need to be replaced.36. we can learn that solar water heaters _.a. have three basic parts in their systemb. are hardly able to heat water above 60c. are used widely by people all over the worldd. can heat water even on cold and rainy days37.

metal surface38. what does the underlined word “pipes” in paragraph 3 mean?a. the systems of keeping water clean.b. the boxes used to keep water warm.c. the tools that control water temperature.d. long objects through which water flows.39. what is the text mainly about?a. the history of solar water heaters. b. knowledge of solar water heaters.c. the advantages of solar water heaters.d. the steps of operating a solar water heater.bin the united states elementary (基础)education begins at the age of six. at this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. the atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. the old traditional methods of education, which demand that the pupils fully obey their teachers, were rejected rather a long time ago.although most people are against the old teaching method , yet some people think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than having them learn knowledge. they are afraid that their children will lose the game when competing with their peers (同辈人)based on the widely accepted theory, one of the most important aims of the social education of young children is to teach them to work together for the common good of the society . therefore, co-operation is more important than competition throughout education. this may seem strange, considering the fact that american society is highly competitive ; however, to make people sociable is the most important for the interest of the whole state.frankly speaking most americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. it probably does succeed in making most people co-operative and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.40according to the passage , the american education is supposed to make children .aknowledgeable and educatedbcompetitive and interestedcfurious and friendlydhappy and co-operative41some americans are dissatisfied with their elementary education because they think .achildren are unwilling to help each otherbschools make too much of co-operationcchildren should grow up with competitive ideas dchildren learn little knowledge42it seems that author thinks the american elementary education is .aeffectivebcommoncadvanceddspecial43we can infer that american education attaches more importance to developing the students .aknowledgebcompetitioncteamworkdlearning skillscwhen early colonial settlers went to america, they took many forms of dance to their new home. square dancing, one of the oldest forms of american folk dancing, developed from several different old world group dances, mainly english country dances, and the french quadrille(四对方舞). in the american version of square dancing, four couples form a square and dance to music. an american addition to square dancing is the caller. what do you think a caller does?the callers-someone who calls out the dance steps in time to the music- was a completely american invention. at first dancers memorized all the steps for a particular dance, but eventually the dances became so complicated that it was necessary to have someone call out cues (提示) so that dancers didnt have to remember so many steps. the caller didnt just call out “do-se-do your partner”; a good caller also came up with colourful sayings or witty lines that he said in between the cues such as “dont be shy and dont be afraid. swing on the corner in a waltz promenade (步伐).” a caller might also come up with new dance steps and routines. although popular for years, square dancing seemed to be going out of style and fading away until the early 1930s, when henry ford helped revive interest in it. ford, the automobile manufacturer, used to vacation at the wayside inn in massachusetts, where he enjoyed the dance programme run by a man named benjamin lovett. ford asked lovett to come to detroit and teach dances, but lovett said he couldnt because he had a contract with the inn. ford solved that problem by buying the inn and lovetts contract. he took lovett back to detroit, where together they established a programme for teaching squares and rounds. square dancing was updated and groups began forming all over the country.44. what is the best title for the passage? a. the different steps of square dancing b. the origin and development of square dancing c. who was the inventor of square dancing? d. why did square dancing go out of style?45. what does the underlined part “their new home” refer to? a. the united kingdom. b. france. c. africa. d. america.46. why did the caller call out the steps for the dancers? a. because the dance was invented by the caller. b. because the dancers didnt know the names of the steps. c. because the steps were very particular. d. because it was hard for the dancers to remember all the steps.47. why did the author mention henry ford in the last paragraph? a. because he was the man who made the first car. b. because he was vey fond of dancing. c. because he helped make square dancing popular again. d. because he taught people how to dance.d here are some sports in the winter
