    The rockets take astronauts and man-made satellites into space. The satellites are used for communication, weather monitoring and research. But how do satellites stay up without falling down?
    There are two opposite forces (力量) acting on the satellite. One of them is the force of gravitation (地心引力), which tries to pull the satellite towards the earth. The other force is created by the rotation (旋转) of the satellite around the earth. This force tries to take the satellite away from the earth. With these two forces, the satellite goes round and round. The gravitational pull of the earth (the force which pulls everything towards the ground) is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away.
    Everything that goes up has to come down. It is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back to the earth. As time goes by, the satellite loses its speed, which makes the gravitational pull stronger than the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite crash (坠落) down to the earth.
    小题1:Which of the following uses of satellites is NOT mentioned?
    A．communication
    B．monitoring the weather condition
    C．doing some research
    D．taking pictures
    小题2:The force that pulls the satellite towards the earth is created by ________.
    A．the earth
    B．the satellite itself
    C．the rotation of the satellite
    D．the rope
    小题3:Why can’t the satellites fly away?
    A．Because of the force from the earth.
    B．Because the satellite is too big.
    C．Because of the force created by the rotation of the satellite around the earth.
    D．Because people on earth have made ropes to tie the satellites tightly.
    小题4:The satellite will finally crashes down to the earth ________.
    A．when it flies faster
    B．when its speed slows down
    C．when people cut the rope
    D．when there is no electricity in it
    小题5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．There are four forces acting on the satellite.
    B．The force of gravitation makes the satellite go round and round.
    C．As time goes by, the satellite will finally fall down.
    D．The satellite will stay in space forever.

    If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, and when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
    When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
    If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed, and few of us know that it is just his own fault (过错). Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and when they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. As a result, they have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole time.
    So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.
    小题1:Someone can't have a good memory if ________.
    A．he can't read or write
    B．his parents haven't a good memory
    C．he doesn't make good use of his memory
    D．he doesn't use his arms or legs for some time
    小题2:If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ________.
    A．they will become thin
    B．they will become weak
    C．they begin to ache all over
    D．you can't use them any more
    小题3:Which of the following statements is true?
    A．Your memory needs chance for practice.
    B．A good memory is inherited(遗传) from parents.
    C．Your memory works in the different ways as your arms or legs.
    D．Don't learn to read and write if you want to have a good memory.
    小题4: Few people know that if someone has a poor memory it is ________.
    A．his own faultB．his parents' fault
    C．his teachers' faultD．his friends' fault
    小题5: The writer wants to tell us ________.
    A．how to read and write well
    B．how to have a good memory
    C．how to use our arms or legs better
    D．how to learn from the people who can't read or write

    Rivers are one of our most important natural resources(资源). Many of the world’s great cities are located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river running 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 southeastern Asia. The greatest of all for navigation（航海）, however, is the Amazon in Brazil（巴西）. It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles up it.
    Besides transportation, rivers give food to eat, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun. In order to increase the supply(供给) 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 on rivers often cause 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 of these natural resources.
    小题1:The greatest river for navigation is ________________.
    A．the MississippiB．the Nile
    C．the MekongD．the Amazon
    小题2:Which is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．Many cities are located on rivers.

    小题3:When rivers are dammed, people use the water for __________.
    A．keeping the rivers clean
    B．making electricity
    C．washing clothes
    D．irrigation and the production of electricity
    小题4:Most water in rivers is polluted with ___________.
    A．people’s drinking water too much
    B．people’s swimming in the river too much
    C．chemicals and other materials
    D．people’s building a dam across a river

    Comets(彗星) are parts of our solar system. Like the planets, they go around the sun.
    But comets are not made of solid rocks like planets. A comet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people call comets dirty snowballs.
    The “snowball” may be only a few miles across. But when the sun heats the “snowball,” much of it is changed to gases. The gases spread out and form the comet’s head, which may be thousands of miles across.
    A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun. But when we see it, the comet does not seem to move. That’s because it is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you can’t see any motion(运动). That’s because the moon is far away.
    Each year astronomers(天文学家) discover new comets. Some of them are seen only once. They make one trip around the sun and then go away out into space. The sun’s gravity cannot hold them.
    Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halley’s earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.
    But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. That’s why Halley is now dimmer（暗淡的） than it used to be. Next time it visits us, in 2062, it may be even dimmer. Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer, until it finally disappears.
    小题1:What is this passage mostly about?
    A．Comets and the sun.
    B．Why comets are like snowballs.
    C．Who discovered the first comet.
    D．Facts about comets.
    小题2:How does the writer help the reader understand what a comet looks like?
    A．By telling about a famous one.
    B．By explaining how far away it is.
    C．By describing how fast it moves.
    D．By describing it as a dirty snowball.
    小题3:What is the most likely reason the writer wrote this passage?
    A．To give information about comets.
    B．To tell readers about famous comets.
    C．To explain the importance of comets.
    D．To encourage readers to look for comets.

    Taking away a city’s rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can’t eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.
    In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of the city to a dump(垃圾站). Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewagesystem takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs(澡盆) and other places.
    To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.
    In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus(腐殖土), which looks like black earth. It is rich with kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow.
    小题1:You can most probably read the passage in _______.
    A．a history bookB．a TV guide
    C．a science bookD．a telephone book
    小题2:The underlined word “sewage” in the passage means_______.
    A．排污B．染色C．洗涤D．吸尘

    A．to feed animals
    B．to feed plants
    C．to build a house
