Scientists study the world and learn about things using a process called the scientific method(方法). By asking important questions and 16 the answers, it is possible to make amazing discoveries! Sometimes a scientist is 17 to answer his own questions, but if he has taken good notes another scientist may come along later who is able to use new knowledge to answer it. When you use the scientific method to 18 an experiment, you start by making observations(观察) about something that 19 you. Based on your observations, you make a hypothesis. This is using 20 you know to make a smart guess about what you think could happen. Then you are ready to begin your experiment. All 21 your experiment you take down notes, which are 22 experiment date(资料). You are constantly making observations during this time. You may make discoveries that cause you to improve your experiment as you go. 23 , you conclude your experiment and begin to look over your notes to decide what it all means. Based on what you have learned, you make a final statement about 24 your hypothesis was correct or not. You have to have reasons and evidence to support what you are saying. Using the scientific method can be difficult, but rewarding. Because all the steps are organized in a process, the 25 are more valid(可信的). When you provide observations as evidence to support what you are saying, your ideas are more likely to be accepted. 1. A．waiting for B．searching for C．worrying about D．complaining about

“My dear lady,” says Holmes. “You’re shivering. Are you old? Do you want a cup of hot tea?” “I’m not cold,” the woman replies, “I fear for my life!” “We are here to help you. Don’t worry about anything. I don’t know you. But I know many things about you. For example, I know how you travel. You came to London by train. You also ride to the train station on a horse-drawn wagon(马车).” “Why, yes. You’re right. But how do you know these things?” “ I see a return ticket in your glove. I see fresh mud on the left arm of your dress. Now tell us your problem.” “My name is Helen Stoner,” she states, “ My mother and father are dead. I am living with my stepfather, Dr Grimesby Roylott. He comes from a rich family. But they are no longer rich. They have nothing except a small piece of land and a huge old house. We are living in the house. Dr Roylott is using my mother’s money for expenses(开支). Part of it was for my sister and me. It was for our marriages.” Holmes is sitting in his chair. His eyes are closed. He is listening carefully to Helen’s story. He hears every detail. Helen continues. “My stepfather has no friends. He fights with everyone. He is strong and gets angry quickly. Everyone is afraid of him.” “He has no friends at all?” asks Holmes. “No. He talks to no one except the gypsies. They are poor people who travel from place to place. A band of gypsies is staying on our land right now.” “Are you and your sister afraid of the gypsies?” “My dear Mr Holmes. You are making me so sad. My sister is dead.

“What is success?” Mr Gruber asked his 6th grade business class. It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term. “Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.” One student answered, earning laughs from all the students. Mr Gruber smiled, but shook his head. “Tom, that is excess(过量). That is not success.” “How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer. “Now we’re getting closer,” Mr Gruber smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and what you want.” “Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs. Mr Gruber sighed. “ I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus(与…比较) success.” “Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud. “Quite right!” Mr Gruber clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.” “What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy. “Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.” “What if I don’t have a family?” he continued to be difficult. “Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.” “He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out. “Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Gruber corrected himself. Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer. “So in the next nine weeks, we’re going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards.” Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending?” “You already are, Tom. You’re spending time with us!” Mr. Gruber laughed. “Now, let’s see what you guys know about credit cards…” 1.What class did Mr Gruber teach? A．History B．Science C．Maths D．Business 2.Which student didn’t seem to be taking the class seriously? A．Tom B．James C．Peter D．Sandy 3.How did Mr Gruber make his class lively and interesting? A．He himself kept talking’ B．He just read from a textbook. C．He showed a movie to his students. D．He got his students to take part in a discussion. 4.What do you think of Mr Gruber according to the passage? A．Strange B．Patient C．Shy D．Proud 5.What can be the best title of this passage?

Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which uses satellites (卫星) to find the user’s position(位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are. GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street. There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well. Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again. 1.According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people __________. A．can’t be lost in a new city B．can’t find their way in different countries C．can learn about the culture of an unknown place D．can spend the least time getting to another place 2.We can learn from the passage that ____________. A．there are three parts to the GPS B．a GPS can’t be put into a watch C．a GPS can help you start your car D．the GPS are becoming more and more expensive 3.The underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 means “____________”. A．Receivers B．GPS devices C．Satellites D．Ground stations 4.The passage is mainly about _______________. A．the history of the GPS B．the introduction of the GPS C．the shape of the GPS D．the three parts of the GPS 5.What can we infer(推断) from the passage? A．All GPS devices have electronic maps. B．People in many countries will use the GPS for free. C．The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites. D．The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life.

Sue and Jim were neighbours for five years but they were never interested in each other. Then one day, Sue saw Jim’s music collection. She noticed a rare punk rock CD that she also owned. At that moment, she realized that they both had the same interest in music and they started talking. Sue said, “I thought we had nothing in common（相同）until I saw his CD by the New York Dolls.” They are now married and living with each other. Some psychologists (心理学家) think that your taste in music is related to (有联系的) your personality. As part of a test at the University of Texas, Austin, USA, volunteers created a CD of their favourite songs. The volunteers then listened to each other’s CDs and made guesses about the CD creator’s personality—outgoing, adventurous, happy, and so on. These strangers correctly guessed much more about each others’ personalities through their CDs than through their clothes or taste in films. For example, Sue and Jim love punk music, which means they have outgoing personalities. The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dogg (hip-hop) fans are likely to be energetic and talkative. People who like U2 (rock/pop music) are generally independent and adventurous. The psychologists also found that Louis Armstrong(jazz) fans tend to(倾向于) be serious and intelligent While fans of classical music are also likely to enjoy jazz music and tend to be shy.The psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.
