Even my younger sister had got rid of them much earlier than me. But as I began to grow older, this changedAll this happened on the Bike Safety Day. It is supposed to be a fun day at school when all of us kids bring our bikes to school and the school provides us with the opportunity to ride outside and learn proper bike safety. Sounds like fun, right? No. In fact, it caused me to panic. What was I going to say when my friends asked me about my training wheels?With the pressure of everyone seeing my training wheels, I determined to let them go. This was the first big change Id ever made on my ownI went to my parents and told them all about my dilemma. They were more than happy to help. We went outside and got my bike. Instead of running away and hiding behind, I stood in front of my bike and took great pride in my decision as my dad removed the training wheelsI got on and steadied myself. My heart raced but my feet and hands were calm. My dad started to push before my feet even moved and suddenly I was off. The fear faded away and a relaxed mind came into its place. It was crazy to think how quickly I learned something that took so long for me to even try！My confidence soared(猛涨).This was going to be the start of a brand new world for me. My accomplishment would carry me forth to new goals and wins. I realized that if I set my mind to something, I could achieve it.24. What does the school expect the students to do on Bike Safety Day?

C Life in the Clear Transparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feetas far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless theyre eating it, or unless something is eating them.” And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? Its trickier than you might think. The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter(散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily. But a transparent object doesnt absorb or scatter light, at least not very much, Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesnt look very different from the surrounding air or water. You dont see it -you see the things behind it. To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesnt have pigments, so its tissues wont absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials-skin, fat, and more-and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be seethrough. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-lie(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it .Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how theyre doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.28. According to Paragraph 1, transparent animals_. A. stay in groups B. can be easily damaged C. appear only in deep ocean D. are beautiful creatures29. The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means_. A. silently B. gradually C. regularly D. completely30. One way for an animal to become transparent is to _. A. change the direction of light travel B. gather materials to scatter light. C. avoid the absorption of light D. grow bigger to stop light.31. The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals_. A. move more slowly in deep water B. stay see-through even after death C. produce more tissues for their survival D. take effective action to reduce light spreadingDDont let the name fool you : a black hole is anything but empty space. Rather, it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small areathink of a star ten times bigger than the sun squeezed into a ball approximately the diameter (直径) of New York City. The result produces such a strong gravitational field that nothing, not even light, can escape. In recent years, NASA instru-ments have painted a new picture of these strange objects that are, to many, the most fascinating objects in space.The idea of an object in space so massive and dense (密度大的) that light could not escape it has been around for centuries. Most famously, black holes were predicted by Einsteins Theory of General Relativity, which showed that when a massive star dies, the center of the star falls in upon itself, or falls apart. When this happens, it explodes part of the star into space and leaves behind a small core with its great density. If the core s mass is more than about three times the mass of the sun, then the force of gravity is greater than all other forces and produces a black hole.Scientists cant directly observe black holes with telescopes that detect (探测) x-rays, light, or other forms of radiation. We can, however, infer the presence of black holes and study them by detecting their influence on other matter nearby. If a black hole passes through a cloud of matter, for example, it will draw matter inside in a process known as addition. A similar process can occur if a normal star passes close to a black hole. In this case, the black hole can tear the star apart as it pulls it towards itself. As the attracted matter accelerates and heats up, it gives off x-rays that radiate into space. Recent discoveries offer some evidence that black holes have a dramatic influence on the neighborhoods around them - giving off powerful gamma ray bursts, swallowing nearby stars, and accelerating the growth of new stars in some areas while postponing it in others.32. Why does a black hole have such a powerful gravity?A. Its area is small. B. It is empty space.C. Its density is great. D. It contains much light.33. How many stages are there from a massive star to a black hole?A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.34. How do scientists research black holes?A. By studying matter nearby them. B. By observing them with telescopes.C. By collecting some light from them. D. By receiving powerful gamma ray bursts.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Birth of a Black Hole B. The First Picture of a Black HoleC. Some Unknown Secrets of Black Holes D. A New Scientific Discovery：Black Holes第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (将选项涂在答题卡相应的71-75题） Whether you are at Disneyland or another Disney park, you will usually find a nighttime show that will be showing. 36 Read this article to find out how you can get a good seat for an evening event at any Disney park.Plan on seeing the show in advance.Usually, if you decide an hour beforehand that youre going to see a show, you will likely end up not getting a good seat, unless the park is not very busy. 37 Do your research.Research online: “The best places to view .” 38 Some of them may even be less known, so you may not deal with such a big crowd.Arrive to the event early. 39 Possibly even earlier if the park is more crowded on that day. If you arrive ten minutes before the event starts, youre a lot less likely to get a good spot. 40 If you must leave to do something, make sure that its extremely quick, and try to have another member of your party stay in your spot while you are away.A. Stay in the same area.B. Enjoy the show with a friend.C. Its usually much more enjoyable if you can get a good seat.D. This is especially important if you arrive closer to the event time.E.
