Many people think children should be allowed to surf the Internet as they wish. In this way, they can look through different subjects on different kinds of websites according to their own interest. But in my opinion, children should always be watched while surfing the internet.Many websites have information and pictures that children should not see .There are many things that children dont understand .All of these may have some bad influence on childrens development . Also , it is dangerous to let children use chat rooms by themselves .Many parents tell their children not to talk to strangers on the street , so they should be careful of whom their children talk to on the internet, too . Whats more , sitting in the front of a computer for a long time isnt good for childrens eyes , so parents should monitor(监视) the time that children spend on the internet .In a word, children should be kept away anything that could be bad for them. I strongly believe that it is necessary for patents to watch their children when they use internet.（1）Is the Internet educational all the time? _（2）What do the parents tell children to do when they meet strangers on the street?_（3）Why shouldnt children sit in front of a computer for a long time?_（4）Who can help children stay away from the bad influence on the Internet?_（5）What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?_4. （10分）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。Black FridayThanksgiving is always on a Thursday. The day after it has been known as Black Friday. It is the start of the holiday shopping season, and it has been the busiest shopping day of the year in the US since 2005.Most stores offer big sales on Black Friday. They open their doors quite early in the morning. They try to attract shoppers with big discounts (打折). Some items (商品)like TVs and cloths are much cheaper than usual. Stores may even lose money on these items. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in the store.Black Friday is a great time to go shopping. However, there are problem. The biggest one is that there are not enough low-priced items. Each store may only have a few. These items are in great need, so people stand in long lines to get them. They may wait three to four hours before a store opens. They may be hoping to get a low price on a TV or computer, but not everybody can get one. Some people leave, disappointed.The situation makes people worried. Some Black Friday events have been crazy. There have been fights over toys among shoppers. Some workers have even been hurt by large crowds. But most Black Friday events are safe and fun. Still, if you plan to go, you will expect large crowds and a bit of pushing.So where does the name “Black Friday” come from? It was first used in Philadelphia in the 1950s. The police called this day Black Friday because of the heavy traffic it caused. In the 1960s, stores tried to rename the day “Big Friday”. It did not stick. The name “Black Friday” continued to spread across the country. It seems that it is here to stay.Now people all over the country take part in Black Friday events. It is even spreading to other parts of the world. Stores have held Black Friday events in the UK, Australia, and Brazil since 2012. In Mexico, stores offer a weekend of discounts every year. They call it “El Buen Fin”, which means “the good weekend” in Spanish. I guess people everywhere like to buy things on sale.（1）IsBlackFridaythestartoftheholidayshoppingseason?（2）IsBlackFridaythestartoftheholidayshoppingseason?（3）WhatisthebiggestproblemwithBlackFriday?（4）WhatisthebiggestproblemwithBlackFriday?（5）Howlongmaypeoplehavetowaitbeforeastoreopens?（6）Howlongmaypeoplehavetowaitbeforeastoreopens?（7）Wherewasthename“BlackFriday”firstusedinthe1950s?（8）Wherewasthename“BlackFriday”firstusedinthe1950s?（9）WhydopeoplelikegoingshoppingonBlackFriday?（10）WhydopeoplelikegoingshoppingonBlackFriday?5. （10分）All living things on the earth need other living things to live. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain(食物链).Some food chains are simple, while others are not. But all food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears.All life needs sunlight to live on. But only plants can use sunlight directly. Plants are“factories”.They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil and air.Plants feed all other living things. Animals can only use the suns energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat, rice, vegetables, fruits and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. But men often break up the food chains. They kill wild animals. They also make rivers, lakes and seas dirty. When these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them cannot be eaten. If men eat the fish, they will get strange diseases.Each form of life is linked to all others. Breaking the links puts all life in danger.（1）How does every living thing on the earth live?A . Each plant can live alone.B . Each animal can live alone.C . Every living thing on the earth cannot live without others.（2）Which living things can use the suns energy directly?A . AnimalsB . PlantsC . All living things（3）Who often break up the food chains?A . Human beingsB . AnimalsC . Plant and animals（4）Which of the following do you think is the best title of this passage?A .

Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably also sing or whistle when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims（宣称）as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species（物种）are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. (1) If a stranger should enter your territory and want to hurt you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. (2)一只鸟也将会做同样的事. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting （筑巢）season. So he is screaming（尖叫）all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a birds song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract a mate（同伴）and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.You can see that birds have a language of their
