In some places, there arent many days without clouds all the year round. Some people call them cotton in the sky”. But do you know how clouds are formed?There are three important things in the forming of clouds: water, heat, and air. The heat of the sun warms the water and air close to the ground. Some water changes into water vapor and goes into the air. Then the warm air rises. The warm air takes the water vapor up into the sky, where they meet with cold air. The water vapor cools down and changes back into water, forming very small drops of water, called water droplets(微滴). These small water droplets dont just fall down, because more warm air is still coming up. As a result, we can see different kinds of clouds in the sky.However, with more and more water vapor changes back into water droplets, they get together and become bigger and bigger, thus heavier and heavier. Finally, they drop down to the ground.6. What is the passage about?A) How water comes into the air.B) How clouds are formed.C) How warm air can fall down.D) How water changes.7.

Perhaps there is only one kind of place when water is very rare: deserts. How much have we all learned from books, films, and stories about how water can be so precious and so hard to get in deserts!For many years people have never doubted about this. But, is this true? Sometimes we may take many things for granted and stopped thinking about them. The water problem in deserts is a very good example. Actually, scientists have found that there is plenty of water in deserts, much more than we ever expected. But, why cant we find them and use them?The problem is that deserts are all sand, which cannot hold water up. The water in deserts is not on the surface. Water quickly goes down into the deep sand. They are stored under the sand, pure and cool. Many people who died in deserts maybe just a few yards away from the unknown water supply. They either didnt know that there is water just under their feet, or they just didnt have the necessary tools to get them out. If we can have the right tools, we can save many lives.11.

According to the passage, where can we find water in deserts?A) Deep in the sand.B) Just under the surface of the sand.C) Nowhere at all.D) In the holes in deserts.Passage Because there are so many nationalities (民族) in America, people can find almost any kind of restaurants in most of the large cities. The telephone book lists restaurants for each city according to the name, area (地区) of the city, or kind of food. Restaurants in large cities vary greatly in price. Many restaurants put up their menus (菜单) on the window so you can have some idea of the price and kind of food before you enter. If you cannot find the menu on the window, and you are not sure about how expensive the place is, ask to see a menu before you sit down at a table, or just ask about the price. Appearances from the outside can be misleading (误导) what looks like a small, informal restaurant may really be very expensive, and what looks like a large, expensive restaurant may be very reasonable (价格合理的) .You can get a meal (餐饭) for about $4 or $5 or a little more if you eat in a snack bar (快餐馆) or coffee shop, but in most city restaurants you should expect to pay $8 to $10 a person for dinner, with alcoholic (酒精的) drinks and wine extra (另付).
