You should always look on both sides before stepping into the street.”“Do any of you ride a bike? Bicycle riders can cause accidents by changing directions suddenly or without warning other road users. Before you turn left, for example, you s hould check behind you to make sure there arent any cars, trucks or buses coming. You should show with your left hand to tell that you want to turn left.

But bad weather is sometimes hard to stop, no matter who he is-rich or poor, young or old-in every part of the world. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions about the weather, especially about rainSometimes, when you need rain, you do not get any. Other times, you get rain when you dont want it. Take a football game for example. A sudden heavy rain can stop a wonderful game, making the players and the 20, 000 persons watching the game run for cover. If the game cant go on, people who have bought the tickets are given rain checks. These are special tickets that will let them watch a later game for free.Rain checks now means a second chance at something. Often, a rain check has nothing to do with rain.Shops may give you a rain check when they sell something all out-a TV set, for example at a special low price. After all the TV sets are gone, the shop gives rain checks to those who wanted to buy one. The rain check lets a person have another chance to buy the TV set later, at the same low price, after the shop receives some more from the factoryRain check is also used in our daily life. Its a way of accepting invitation, but for a later time. You may ask for a rain check if you are asked to a friend, s house for dinner, but cant be there. You say, T would love to join you for dinner, but Im busy. Could I have a rain check? You are asking, in other words, if you could join your friend for dinner at another time.（1）If a game is stopped by a sudden rain, the game watchers . A . might get TV sets at a very low priceB . have to wait until the game starts againC . can get back the money for the ticketsD . will get special free tickets for a later game（2）Rain check usually means . A . accepting an InvitationB . a way of stopping rainingC . getting something at a special low priceD . chance of doing or getting something of the same kind later（3）According to this passage, which rain check has something to do with rain? A . A dinner with ones friend at another timeB . A special free ticket for a later football gameC . A way of accepting an invitation for a later timeD . Another chance for a later TV set at the same low price.（4）Which of the following shows the structure(结构)of the passage? (P=paragraph) A . B . C . D . 4. （6分）阅读理解 On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. The space suit Armstrong wore on his lunar mission has come to symbolize courage and human achievement. In 1971, the Smithsonians National Air and Space Museum(NASM), in Washington, D.C., acquired (获得) Armstrongs suit. It stood proudly on display for visitors to admire, until there were changes in the suits appearance. Over time, the suit started to show signs of deterioration, Lisa Young said. Young is an objects conservator (文物修复员) at NASM. It is her job to preserve(维护)historical and cultural objects.Plastics are tricky to conserve, Young says. They tend to degrade (降解)over time. Neoprene is one type of plastic in Armstrongs suit. The material can turn brittle and break into tiny pieces. This would ruin the space suit. NASM, seeking ways to preserve this historical treasure, removed it from display in 2006.What causes plastic to degrade in the first place? Many things, Odile Madden says. Madden is a scientist in California. She explains that sunlight, water, humidity, and dust can cause plastics to degrade. Some plastics will break down no matter what we do, Madden says.Yet history can still be saved. Scientists have found that storing plastics in cooler temperatures, with lower humidity levels, can slow degradation. Young says Armstrongs suit is currently in storage at a temperature of 63F and a lower relative humidity of 30%. These conditions will be maintained when Armstrongs suit returns to a museum display case in time for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.Plastic degradation affects art, too. Artist Claes Oldenburg created False Food Selection in 1966.It consists of plastic food displayed in a wooden box. The plastic food used to look real. Now, some of it has flattened and yellowed. Georgina Rayner is a conservation scientist at Harvard Art Museums, in Cambridge. She says the artworks wooden box produces an acidic (酸的) gas that eats away at the plastic. This speeds up the degradation process. But Rayner is motivated to conserve this artwork and others like it. Plastics are a part of our history, she says. Its important to preserve them so that future generations can understand the journey weve taken.（1）Neil Armstrongs space suit . A . is in storage at a higher relative humidityB . is considered as a symbol of plastic artC . was protected at Harvard Art MuseumsD . was removed from display in 2006（2）The word deterioration in Paragraph 1 probably means . A . becoming worseB . losing attentionC . getting strongerD . being valuable（3）What can we infer from the passage? A . Plastic artworks help future generations learn more about history.B . We can do nothing to prevent plastic objects from breaking down.C . The acidic gas is a necessity in the preservation of plastic objects.D . People are advised to use fewer plastic objects in their daily life.5. （10分）阅读理解 Today, roller-skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasnt easy at all.
