    When you are curious（好奇的）about something， and want to know more about it， you can use the way of asking questions. Asking questions is the first step to make discoveries and find interesting answers. The steps below can guide you during the research（研究）.
    Step 1
    On a note card or piece of paper, write down the subject that you are interested in. Just get the main idea down. For example, you might write：
    Discover more about dinosaurs.
    Step 2
    Next， stop and think for a moment about what you already know about your subject. List what you already know like the sentences below：
    （1）Dinosaurs lived long before human beings appeared.
    （2）Dinosaurs lived on the earth for more than 150 million years.
    （3）Some dinosaurs fed on plants， some on meat.
    Step 3
    What can you do with what you want to learn？ By asking questions. On your paper，start writing down questions about the dinosaurs as you think of them：
    （1）What‘s the best weather for dinosaurs to live in？
    （2）How many kinds of dinosaurs are there？
    （3）Have dinosaurs really disappeared？
    Step 4
    Armed with your list of questions， you can now go to the nearest library or computer to begin your research. As you learn more about your subject， you‘ll probably discover some new questions. For example， you might discover that dinosaurs disappeared about 65 million years ago. Why？ What happened？ Asking new questions can help you research your subject more widely. The next time you find something interesting to research， take time to organize（组织）your thinking by asking good questions. And remember — learning more always bring more questions.

    Ever wonder how much a cloud weighs? What about a hurricane? A meteorologist has done some estimates and the results might surprise you.
    Let's start with a very simple white puffy cloud — a cumulus cloud（积云）. How much does the water in a cumulus cloud weigh? Peggy LeMone, senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, did the numbers. "The water in the little cloud weighs about 550 tons," she calculates. "Or if you want to convert it to something that might be a little more meaningful … think of elephants."
    The thought of a hundred elephants-worth of water suspended in the sky begs another question — what keeps it up there?
    "First of all, the water isn't in elephant sized particles（微粒）, it's in tiny tiny tiny particles," explains LeMone. And those particles float on the warmer air that's rising below. But still, the concept of so much water floating in the sky was surprising even to a meteorologist like LeMone. "I had no idea how much a cloud would weigh, actually, when I started the calculations," she says.
    So how many elephant units of water are inside a big storm cloud—10 times bigger all the way around than the "puffy" cumulus cloud? Again, LeMone did the numbers: About 200,000 elephants.
    Now, ratchet up the calculations for a hurricane about the size of Missouri and the figures get really massive. "What we're doing is weighing the water in one cubic meter theoretically pulled from a cloud and then multiplying by the number of meters in a whole hurricane," she explains.
    The result? Forty million elephants. That means the water in one hurricane weighs more than all the elephants on the planet. Perhaps even more than all the elephants that have ever lived on the planet.
    小题1:The weight of      is NOT mentioned in the passage.
    A．a cumulus cloudB．a tornadoC．a hurricaneD．a storm cloud
    小题2:How did Peggy LeMone feel about the result of her calculations?
    A．She found it not convincing.
    B．She thought it needed further calculations.
    C．She was quite surprised at it.
    D．She considered the calculations inaccurate.
    小题3:What can be inferred from the passage?
    A．A storm cloud weighs about 200,000 elephants.
    B．The water in a hurricane weighs more than that in any other kind of cloud.
    C．There are less than forty million elephants living on the earth.
    D．The water in the cloud is in very tiny partials.

    Technology is making life easier for some dairy farmers．They use robotic systems to milk their cows．Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to milking stations．Only one cow at a time can enter a station．
    Once inside，the cow is rewarded with food．As the cow eats，a  robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine．A few minutes later，milking is complete．The gate is opened，the cow is released and the next cow enters．
    The robotic systems are designed to operate 24 hours a day．The cows get to decide when they want to be milked．Cows are milked an average of about three times a day．Some are milked four to six times a day．
    The cows wear collars around their necks that identify them to the system．A computer keeps records on their eating and milking．A cow is released from the station if the computer decides it should not be milked．
    The automated system also measures the temperature and color of freshly produced milk．Milk is thrown away if it does not pass the tests．
    Professor Plaut believes the systems will appeal（吸引） especially to the next generation of farmers．She means young people who are more interested in technology and less interested in working all the time on the farm．Still，she says the price of robotic milking systems will continue to limit their use．
    Doug and Tina Suhr have more than 100 cows on their family farm．Last year it became the fourth farm in southeast Minnesota to get a robotic milking system．A recent story in a local agricultural newspaper said the first robot cost 175 000 dollars．The second cost 150 000．
    Doug told AgriNews that wages that would have been paid for one employee in five years will pay for one robot．He says the increase in milk production reaches a high of more than six kilograms per cow per day．
    小题1:From the first paragraph，we can infer________．
    A．the robotic system is designed to reduce labor
    B．cows can be raised by robots in the future
    C．robots direct cows into milking stations
    D．cows are kept clean by robots on some farms
    小题2:Besides milking cows，the robotic system also can______．
    A．adjust the temperature of milking stations
    B．judge the quality of fresh milk
    C．improve the appetite of cows
    D．keep fresh milk for two weeks
    小题3:Why is the robotic system not popular now?
    A．Because young people have no interest in it．
    B．Because it is difficult to learn how to use it．
    C．Because people can’t afford to buy it．
    D．Because it usually causes the waste of milk．
    小题4:According to Doug，what is the wage of an employee?
    A．150 000～170 000．B．750 000．
    C．150 000～30 000．D．30 000—32 000
    小题5:The best title for the passage may be_________．
    A．Letting robot milk your cowB．Milking cows by hand
    C．Improving the quality of milkD．Drinking fresh milk every day

    No one doubts that students should study languages, maths and science in high school, but some may object to the idea that they should study art and music as well. To them, these subjects are useless for students’ future and are not worth the time and effort. In my opinion, however, it is necessary for middle school students to study art and music.
    Art and music are a precious culture legacy（遗产）, which bring us pleasure and enjoyment. Have you ever been deeply moved by Beethoven’s famous Fifth Symphony（第五交响曲）? Have you ever been fascinated by the colorful starry night produced by Vincent Van Gogh in his paint? Have you ever longed for the moving love between the Butterfly Lovers when you hear this well-known Chinese melody（曲调）? Art and music are not only images and sounds, but something beyond them. They are the products of passion and human wisdom（智慧）.
    Art and music help make students more creative. Artists and musicians are considered the most creative people in the world. It is because art and music sharpen their senses and provide a different perspective (视角) for them to see the world. Many great scientists benefited from art and music. Einstein, the greatest physicist in the 20th century, as well as an excellent violin player, is a good example.
    Enjoying art and music is also a good way to relax. Middle school students, who typically carry heavy burdens of study, will definitely（明确地）benefit from it.
    To sum up, art and music should absolutely be included in the middle school courses, for they can bring students pleasure and relaxation.
    小题1:According to the author, people who think art and music are useless for middle school students __________.
    A．don’t understand the value of art and music
    B．don’t know the history of art and music at all
    C．never benefit from artists and musicians
    D．know little about the trend of future education
    小题2:In paragraph 2, the author tries to argue that __________.
    A．Beethoven is one of the greatest musicians
    B．art and music help express people’s emotions
    C．art and music are precious pictures and sounds
    D．art and music bring people joy and quality life
    小题3:The example of Einstein is used to __________.
    A．show the importance of creativity
    B．prove that scientists are creative
    C．encourage students to study art and music
    D．provide students with a new way to see the world
    小题4:Which of the following is an effective way for middle school students to study?
    A． Relaxing themselves regularly while studying.
    B． Attending concerts during holidays or after school.
    C． Avoiding too much homework by studying art and music.
    D． Listening to music while studying language, maths or other subjects.
    小题5:Which of the following is used to support the writer’s opinion?
    A．Art and music help people become scientists.
    B．Art and music provide people with more opportunities.
    C．Art and music are beneficial to students in other subjects.
    D．Art and music are helpful to make students creative learners.

    Bamboo（竹） is one of the nature’s most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.
    Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe（欧洲）. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains.
    Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters（厘米）wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.
    Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables(绳索) hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.
    In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills(钻) can help to make the poor thirsty fields be watered.
    小题1:How is bamboo like grass?
    A．It is thin and easy to cut.
    B．It grows everywhere.
    C．It grows quickly after it’s cut short.
    D．It is short and green.
    小题2:The underlined sentence “while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across.” means “Some other bamboo plants may grow to be very _______.”
    A．short B．strong C．thickD．tall
    小题3:From the text we know ______.
    A．All people call bamboo plant trees
    B．a bamboo plant may grow 4.5 meters in three days
    C．the bamboo plant changes its colors when it grows
    D．a bridge held by bamboo cable was built thousands of years ago
    小题4:Why did the engineers teach the poor farmers in Africa to make use of bamboo?
    A．Because it is cheap. B．Because it is colorful.
    C．Because it drills fast.D．Because it is used by Asians.
    小题5:Which of the following is NOT true?
    A．There are many different kinds of bamboo with different colors.
    B．Cables made of bamboo can last for over a thousand years.
    C．Bamboo can be used for buildings, bridges and watering projects(工程).
    D．Bamboo plants are able to grow well in any part of the world.

    When you get in your car, you reach for it. When you're at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it.
    Cigarette? Cup of coffee? No, it's the third most addictive thing in modem life, the cell phone. And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curb their longing to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships.
    The costs are becoming more and more evident, and I don't mean just the monthly bill. Dr. Chris Knippers, a counselor at the Betty ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on-one personal contact, and an escape from reality. Sounds extreme, but we' ve all witnessed the evidence: The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him. Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell - phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation. He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with. Despite the growing use of phones, e - mail and instant messaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we don't have as many friends as our parents.  " Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends," he says.
    If the cell phone has truly had these effects, it's because it has become very widespread. Consider that in 1987, there were only l million cell phones in use.  Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them. They far outnumber wired phones in the United States.
    小题1: From the first two paragraphs, we can know________.
    A．cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettes
    B．cell phone addiction is good for building personal relationships
    C．people are longing to have their own cell phones
    D．cell phones are the same as cigarettes
    小题2:Cell phone addiction has caused the following effects EXCEPT________  .
    A．a barrier to personal contact B．fewer friends
    C．an escape from reality D．a serious illness
    小题3: The underlined word "curb" in Paragraph 2 means “________. ”
    A．ignore B．control C．develop D．rescue
    小题4:The example of a woman talking on the phone in the car supports the idea that________  .
    A．women Use cell phones more often than men
    B．talking on the phone while driving is dangerous
    C．cell phones do not necessarily bring people together
    D．cell phones make one - on - one personal contact easy
    小题5:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
    A．Cell phones Are the New Cigarettes
    B．Cell phones Are Harmful to the Society
    C．The New Report about the Cell phone
    D．The Disadvantages of the Cell phone

    Clothes can make phone calls, play music, dial your pal’s number, keep you warm during cold weather and operate your computer?
    This is not a fantasy. A British company, called Electrotextiles, has created a wide range of clothes — clothes that have minds of their own! Scientists, working for the company, have invented a kind of fabric that can be blended(混合) with flexible electronic materials to create intelligent clothing. The result are electronic garments.
    If you think the wearer has to be wired to different devices, think again. These designer clothes are wire-free, soft to touch and washable!! Like any electronic device, these high-tech clothes have to be powered. Currently, a tiny nine-volt battery serves the purpose. But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat. These clothes are 100 percent shock proof, they say.
    The Electrotextiles team has also created the world’s first cloth keyboard. This keyboard can be sewn into your trousers or skirt. To use this device, you will have to sit down and tap on your lap! These ‘lap- tap’ gadgets(器具) are all set to take over laptop computers!
    Another useful garment is the shirt-cum-mobile phone. This handy invention enables drivers to chat comfortably with others at the wheel! Other popular electronic wear include the denim(牛仔布) jacket with flexible earphones sewn into the hood(风帽) and the electronic ski jacket with a built-in heater. The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.
    Having completed the cloth keyboard, scientists have already started to work on a new project—a necktie that can be used as a computer mouse. What is the next? Do you have any idea?
    小题1:. The electronic garments are similar to other electronic devices in that ______.
    A．they feel smooth and soft
    B．they use electricity as power
    C．they can be washed in water
    D．they are made from flexible materials
    小题2:. How will researchers improve these high-tech clothes?
    A．Body heat will be used as power.
    B．The wearer will not get shocked.
    C．A tiny nine-volt battery will work.
    D．They will get charged automatically.
    小题3: What does the underlined phrase “This handy invention” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
    A．The laptop computer.B．The electronic ski jacket.
    C．The shirt-cum-mobile phone.D．The world’s first cloth keyboard.
    小题4:. If you are going on a ski adventure, which device do you need?
    A．The cloth keyboard.B．The electronic ski jacket.
    C．The necktie to be used as a mouse.D．The denim jacket with earphones.
    小题5:. The main purpose of the text is ______.
    A．to advertise for an English companyB．to predict the future trend of science
    C．to show how rapidly science developsD．to introduce some intelligent clothing

    With the new school year quickly coming near (or perhaps, for your early-starters, already under way), it’s time to get ready for a successful term(学期). And while you may be cleaning your wardrobe(壁柜), it’s equally important to freshen up(更新) your study skills, too.
    Have you ever noticed that your study habits are different from those of your friends? Or how you seem to learn faster in certain classes? Some people are quick to blame(责备) the teacher or subject(学科) for their difficulties, but that isn’t always the cause(原因). One thing that many people seem to ignore(忽视) is their learning type.
    Now, you may be wondering what a learning type is and how to find yours. There are three different learning types: Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic. You can be a combination of learning types, but most people have one main type.
    1. Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily get information from pictures, graphs, and videos, you are likely a visual learner.
    2. Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to remember things by hearing them, whether listening to a lecture or repeating information out loud, then you are likely an auditory learner.
    3. Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands or testing out what you are shown, you are likely a kinesthetic learner.
    So now that you know your personal learning style, the trick (窍门) is to find out how to use your new-found knowledge to help you in your classes.
    小题1:According to the speaker, why are some students slower than others in a certain subject?
    A．Because they find the subject too difficult.
    B．Because they have lost interest in the subject.
    C．Because their teacher is not good enough.
    D．Because they don’t know their learning type.
    小题2:Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “combination”?
    A．successB．mixtureC．wonderD．model
    小题3:Stephen loves science and usually does experiments with his classmates in the lab to test what he has learned. So what type of learner is he?
    A．VisualB．AuditoryC．KinestheticD．Both A and B
    小题4:What do you think the speaker is going to do next?
    A．To give further explanation to the three types of learners.
    B．To give clear examples of the three types of learners.
    C．To make a survey(调查) about the three types of learners.
    D．To suggest different study skills to different types of learners.
