The UN announced in the world there are about 1/6 of the world population can't meet the sanitation regulation of drinking water.

The water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to learn to stop wasting our quite limited water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done on this field. Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying(净化)factory. There it can be filtered(过滤) and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again , just as it were fresh from a spring. But even large cities purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans.

The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889, in memory of the 100th birthday of the French Revolution. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII of England, opened the tower. Of the 700 suggestions that were handed in, Gustave Eiffel’s was chosen.


However, at first, it was not well accepted by all and a group of people — including many well-known writers and painters at that time — were fiercely against its design.

Being about 300 meters in height, and 7,000 tons in weight, it was the world’s tallest building until 1930. It was a great project for France. 300 workers took two years to build it. It isn’t an ordinary building, since it is almost made of steel. For example, its body moves around at most 12 cm in heavy wind. Moreover, its height changes up to 15 cm according to the temperature.

It was almost destroyed in 1909, but was saved because of its antenna(天线), which is used for communication at that time. Beginning in 1910 it became part of the International Time Service. French radio and French television have also made good use of its height.

The Eiffel Tower has also seen a few strange things. In 1923, a journalist rode a bicycle down from the first level of it. And in 1954, a mountain climber climbed on top of it and tried to measure its exact height.

Anyway, although its birth was difficult, it is now well accepted all over the world. It has been considered as one of the symbols of Paris.

44. The passage mainly tells us ________.  

A. the history of the Eiffel Tower

B. some information about its design

C. what the Eiffel Tower was used for

D. how it became one of the symbols of Paris

45. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?

A. Many people couldn’t accept the Eiffel Tower at the beginning.

B. It was the world’s tallest building for hundreds of years.

C.A journalist rode down from the Eiffel Tower in 1954.

D.The Eiffel Tower was saved because of its height.

46. The French Revolution took place in _______.

A. 1889    B. 1923     C. 1789     D. 1930

 

Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other useful things, they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.

Unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the most important. Man wants to make money from trees, so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.

This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-make the rain in-and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.

40.The most important points of trees to man is ________.

A. they help him to make money

B. they give him cool

C. they give him wood and other things

D. they help him to stop drought and floods

41.In many places forests slowly disappear because ________ .

A. many trees have been cut down by man

B. new trees are not well looked after

C. man has not paid enough attention to planting trees

D. all the above

42.Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because ________ .

A. roots of trees break up the soil

B. there are too many rainfalls

C. strong winds bring a lot of sand

D. there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.

43.Which title best fits the passage?

A. Trees and Man    

 B. The Function of Tree Wood

C. How do People do with Trees?

 D. The Usage of Tree Roots

D

41—45 DD

Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer(温度计)for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear. _____76____. We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.

Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.

Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide._____77_____ .

The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(收缩). That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube._____78______.

First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap ; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole.

______79______.

Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water lever easily.

______80____.

As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.

A.We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things

in our daily lives.

B.Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way

when they are heated or cooled.

C.Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.

D.The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will

expand and rise even higher.

E.They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100degrees.

F.Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal把..粘住) them together.

G.People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the

world.
