It is like a visit to the moon! When under water, it is easy for you to climb big rocks because you are no longer heavy, much lighter than on land! With a tank (罐) of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. Like a fish! Under water, in the sunlight, everything looks colourful. Fishes swim around you. You can catch them with your hands! So many uses for skin-diving: clean and repair ships without taking them out of water, get many things from the deep sea.( )56. The writer mainly tells us _. A. skin-diving is interesting as well as usefulB. what you can see under water C. how to skin-divingD. new sports-today( )57. “Skin-diving, a new sport today, takes you into a wonderful new world!” means “_”.

Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.” “I agree that the Egyptian pyramids are wonderful,” the second man said, “but I do not think theyre the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. They carry out mathematical calculations in seconds that would take a person a hundred years to do.” He turned to the third man and asked, “What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world?” The third man thought for a long time, then he said, “Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is the thermos (保温瓶).” And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up. The other two men were very surprised. “A thermos?” they exclaimed, “but thats a simple thing.” “Oh, no, its not,” the third man said, “in the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot, in the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether it is winter or summer?”( )59. The three men could not agree on what the worlds greatest wonder was because _. A. they could not think of anything very wonderful B. they all had different ideas C. they could not prove that their opinions were right D. the journey ended too soon( )60. The first man thought the pyramids were the most wonderful things in the world because _. A. they were very beautifulB. they were Egyptian C. they had been built with very simple toolsD. they could do mathematical calculations( )61. The third man thought a thermos was the most wonderful thing in the world because _. A. it lasted longer than the pyramids B. it cost less than a computer C. he thought it knew whether it was winter or summer D. the other two men were surprised when he told them about it( )62.

Many of the worlds great cities are located（坐落）on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river flowing through it that plays an important part in the lives of its people.Since the beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. The longest one in the United States is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is the Nile. To the people of India, the Ganges is great, but it is also important for transportation; ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in Southeast Asia. The greatest of all for navigation(航海), however, is the Amazon in Brazil. It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles upon it.Besides transportation, rivers give food, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun and recreation（消遣，娱乐）for the people who live along their banks. In order to increase the supply of water for crops, engineers sometimes build a dam(大坝) across a river and let a lake form behind the dam. Then people can use the water not only to irrigate(灌溉) their fields but also to make electricity for their homes and industries.However, large cities and industries that are located upon rivers often make problems. As the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted with chemicals and other materials. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits(利益) of this natural resource.( )63. The greatest river for navigation is_.A. the Amazon B. the Nile C. the Mekong D. the Mississippi( )64. Which is WRONG?A. The Nile is in India.B. Almost every country has at least one important river.C. Many cities are located on rivers.D. Rivers play an important part in the lives of people.( )65. From a dam, people can use the water for_.A. keeping the rivers clean B. only making electricity C. washing clothes D. irrigating and making electricity ( )66. The best title of the passage is_.A. Rivers in Cities B. The Importance of Rivers C. Transportation D. Natural Resources DEverything is matter, even you! Matter is made up of very small things called atoms(原子). You cannot see atoms. But you can see a lot of matter.There are three main kinds of matter that you see every day. One kind of matter is solid(固体). Solid matter can be hard or soft. Solid matter always has a shape. Some solids are small and some are big. A pencil is solid matter that you can carry. A bus is solid matter that can carry you. Another kind of matter is liquid. Liquids flow. They have no shape of their own. They take the shape of whatever is holding them. The water in a pool is liquid(液体)matter. You can swim in it. The third kind of matter is gas(气体). Gases have no shape. They fill up open spaces. Most gases are clear. Gases are always around us. The air is made of gases. Some drinks have bubbles（气泡） which are gases, too.Can matter change? Yes, matter can change. Heating and cooling can change one form of matter into another. Solids can change into liquids. When ice cream melts（融化）, it change from solid to liquid. Liquids can change into gases. When water boils, it gives off steam(蒸汽). Steam is a kind of gas. Liquids can change into solids. When liquid water freezes, it becomes solid ice.( )67. Which statement is true? A. Matter is atoms. B. Things we cannot see are not matter. C. We are matter ourselves. D. As we grow old, matter also grows old.( )68. We know something is solid if_ A. we can see it. B. we can touch it. C. sometimes it is small, and sometimes it is big. D. it has shape itself.( )69. How do you know something is liquid? A. We can see it. B. It has no shape of its own. C. It takes the shape of whatever is holding it. D. It is in a swimming pool.( )70. Why can we swim in a lake in summer and skate on it in winter? A. Because people fill it with water in summer and with ice in winter. B. Because liquids take shape in winter. C. Because it is too cold for people to swim in winter. D. Because water changes its form as the weather changes.第二卷（非选择题）五、单词拼写（共10小题，计10分）1. When we say weekend, we mean S_ and Sunday.2. Victor is a b_ boy and he learns quickly.3.
