When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋转) of the earth. At the equator(赤道) day and night are sometimes the same length. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 in the morning and sets at 6 in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted(倾斜) toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球) gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than night. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.（1）When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having _.A . both day and nightB . dayC . neither day nor nightD . night（2）A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by _ of the earth.A . the pushingB . the pullingC . the spinningD . the passing（3）At the equator day is as long as night _.A . sometimesB . neverC . usuallyD . always（4）When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere gets _ sunlight.A . lessB . moreC . allD . no20. （10分） The students were having their chemistry class.

Its a popular 3D movie, and you may have to wear 3D glasses to see it. The 3D glasses make the images(图像)from the movie look as if they were coming straight towards you.More and more 3D movies are coming to theaters. Some say that 3D TV sets will come into our homes in the near future. 3D technology can make TV and movies are more exciting. However, people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3D movies. Why?When we look at an object(物体), each eye sees it at a different angle(角度). Our eyes send the two images to our brain(大脑), and the brain puts them together. 3D technology uses two film projectors(投影机). One projects a left-eye-image and the other projects a right-eye-image. 3D glasses allow us to see a different image in each eye. So, when we are watching a 3D movie, our brain cant put together the images sent to our eyes. The brain needs to work harder at “reading” the images. That makes it easier for people with eye problems to get dizzy(头晕的) or have headaches. A famous eye doctor said if your eyes cant focus(聚焦) on the same object at once, you will have trouble watching 3D movies.（1）According to the passage, Avatar is a _.A . digital cameraB . digital TV setC . 3D movieD . 4D movie（2）The 3D glasses can make the images from the movie _.A . look more beautiful than usualB . look as if they were coming straight towards youC . look as if they were far away from youD . look more clear than usual（3）People will have _ in their homes in the near future.A . 3D computersB . 3D phonesC . 3D moviesD . 3D TV sets（4）When we look at an object, _.A . each eye sees the object at the same angleB . our brain puts the two different pictures togetherC . there will be two film projectors in our eyesD . our brain cant put together the images sent to our eyes（5）If you wear a pair of 3D glasses, _.A . you will see different images in both eyesB . your brain cant work at allC . the images can be put together easily by your brainD . our brain can put the images together22. （10分）Life for Cathy Taylors three children is very busy. Their school days are busy enough. After school, though, Cathy takes the two boys from football to basketball. Then she has to take her daughter to piano lessons. The tired children dont get home until 7 pm. They have a quick supper, and its time for homework.The Taylors are like many American and British parents. They take their children from activity to activity, and try to fit as much as possible into their kids lives. Doctors say many children are under too much pressure. Teachers complain(抱怨) about teaching tired kids in the classroom.Most children take part in after-school clubs. Activities include sports, language learning, music and math classes. Pushy parents are nothing new, but now parents seem to push their children a lot more. Parents see other children doing a lot of things, and they feel their own children should do the same.Linda Miller, a mother of three in London, knows all about such pressure. “In some families, competition starts from a very young age,” she says. “Mothers send their kids to all kinds of classes when they are very young. And they are always comparing them with other children. Its crazy. People shouldnt push their kids so hard.Dr Alice Green agrees. She also says that these children may find it hard to think for themselves when they are older. “Parents are trying to plan their kids lives for them. When these kids are adults, they might find it difficult to plan things for themselves.” Parents should learn to give their kids a bit more time to themselves. On one hand, children need organized activities. On the other hand, they also need time and freedom to relax, and they need time to do things by themselves.（1）Cathy Taylor sends her daughter to .A . math classesB . language schoolC . sport clubD . piano lessons（2）Why do teachers complain about teaching those children in the classroom?A . Because they are very tired.B . Because they know a lot of things.C . Because they are under too much pressure.D . Because they cant plan things for themselves.（3）From the passage, we know children take part in after-school activities because .A . they have interest in themB . their teachers tell them to do soC . their parents push them to do soD . they see other children doing these things（4）The writer probably thinks that parents should .A . compare their children with othersB . plan their childrens lives for themC . take their children to different classesD . give children time and let them do things by themselves五、 语法填空 (共1题；共10分)23. （10分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。Next time you hold a book in your hands, stop and think. Like most other things in the modern world, it is the result of thousands of years of human invention.First, came the invention of writing,_(probable) about 5500 year ago. With writing, people did not have to remember everything in their heads. They could communicate with people that they never _(see) and share their knowledge with future generations.Later, the Greeks were well-done for their literature( 文学 ) and science, but their “books” looked very different _the books of today. They were called scrolls(卷轴).They were different to use and took a lot of space in a library. About 2,000 years ago, books with lots of pages _(invent).For more than a thousand years, the pages of books were made from animal skin. That changed in _thirteenth century, when Europeans learned about a very _(use) Chinese invention: paper.But the biggest change for books in Europe came in 1439, when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press.
