  As the American writer, Mark Twain once said,“Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does   1   about it.”It is true that everyone talks about the weather; it’s the   2   subject of talk there is.

  “Isn’t it a nice day?”

  “Do you think it will rain?”

  “I think it’s going to snow.”These are common   3   starting a talk.

  Many people think that they can tell that the weather is going to be   4  .But they hardly very agree with each other.One man says, “Do you see   5   cloudy it is in the east? It’s going to rain tomorrow.”Another man will say,“Yes, it’s cloudy in the   6  .We are going to have fine weather tomorrow.”

  People often look for the weather they want.When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it’s going to   7  .He won’t believe anything else.When friends have a picnic(野炊)they are   8   sure the weather is going to clear up(转晴)very quickly that they sit eating their lunch   9   it rains.

  Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says.But he doesn’t   10   tell us what we want, and once in a while he makes a mistake.Still, he probably comes closer to be correct than anyone else.

根据短文内容,判断下列句子的正误,正确的用“T”,错误的用“F”。(每小题1分,共5分)
Today more and more people are using refrigerators. Some are big, others are small. Big ones have two or three doors. Such refrigerators can not only keep the food cold and fresh, but also make ice and freeze the food. However, small ones usually have one door and can only keep things cold and fresh.
There are also refrigerators that are friendly to the environment. In the 1970s, the world was in energy crisis(危机). Refrigerators use too much energy. So people began to think of ways to improve it . At last a kind of new refrigerator was made. They use very little energy, but they’re too expensive. They cost twice or three times more than the ones that we use at home. However, people believe they will be cheaper and cheaper. As a result, they will be more and more popular.
In the future, there will be refrigerators that can do more than we can imagine. They are called smart refrigerators(智能冰箱) . They have tiny computers inside, with their screens on the door. They can show us what food is inside. They can also tell us what food to buy.They can even let us know what food to eat when we input the necessary health information. The more surprising thing is that they can do shopping for us when they are connected(连接) to the supermarket.
【小题1】Small refrigerators can not only keep the food cold but also freeze the food. 
【小题2】Refrigerators that use very little energy are more expensive.
【小题3】Friendly refrigerators will be popular some day.
【小题4】Refrigerators that keep the food fresh are smart refrigerators.
【小题5】We can have a “talk ” with smart refrigerators.

  Do you know something about tree rings(年轮)? Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like, sometimes even hundreds of years ago?

  A tree will grow well in a climate(气候)with lots of sun shines and rainfall(雨量). And little sunshine or rain fall will limit(限制)the growth of a tree. We can see the change of climate by studying the tree rings. For example, to find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree from the outside to the inside, if the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then we're sure that it was sunny and rainy most of that year. If it is near to the eleventh ring, then the climate that year was bad.

  Tree rings are important not only for studying the history of weather but also for studying the history of man. Many centuries ago there lived a lot of people at a place in New Mexico. But now you can find only sand there -no trees and no people. What happened?

  A scientist studied the rings of dead trees there. He found that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees to make fires and buildings. As all the trees had gone, the people there had to move.

(1) _________ in good climate.

[  ]

A.Tree rings grow far from each other.

B.Tree rings become thinner.

C.Trees don't need sunshine or rainfall.

(2) The scientists are interested in studying tree rings because tree rings can tell________.

[  ]

A.whether a tree was strong or not

B.whether people took good care of the trees or not

C.whether the climate was good or not.

(3) If you want to find out the weather of twenty years ago, you should study _______ of a tree from the outside to the inside

[  ]

A.the twentieth ring

B.the tenth ring

C.the nineteenth

(4) Why did people usually live in places with lots of trees?

[  ]

A.Trees could tell the change of the weather.

B.Trees could be used for burning and for building houses.

C.Trees could make weather not too hot or too cold.

(5) The people had to leave the place in New Mexico _______.

[  ]

A.Because bad weather stopped the growth of trees

B.Because they no longer had water and the land became sand

C.Because they didn't have enough trees for burning

  “Life is speeding up.Everyone is becoming unwell.” This may sound like something someone would say today.But in fact, an unwell person who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.

  We all love new inventions.They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.

  But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?

  Picture this:You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer.Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the telephone is getting louder and louder.Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work.Now you have to stay up all night to get it done.

  Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired.Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier?Perhaps that is because they live simpler lives.

  One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today.The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons, Benjamin, 10, and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house.They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phone.

  The grandmother, Lyn, said, “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.” The boys said they fought less.Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer.Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a trendy, been-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.
